C411 11 Chapters to Select a Concubine and Confer a Title

The day of the talent show.

Every official's carefully selected daughters were sent to the Palace one by one.

Everyone was dressed beautifully, and their makeup was exquisite. Even the women from the small official's family spent a large sum of money to buy high-quality fabric.

All the women only had one goal, and that was to be chosen by Yu Longchen to enter the palace.

Yu Longchen had never seen the process of this matter before, so he left everything to the Ministry of Rites.

A few hours before the talent selection, he had secretly summoned Mu Po and asked him which family's daughter should be chosen based on the current situation.

Mu Po naturally knew everything and did not say anything. He told them everything he knew, and even told them why he chose those people.

Yu Longchen calculated and thought about it. It was similar to what he had thought.

He went to the hall of the talent show and sat on the dragon throne. His eyes were drifting as he listened to his father-in-law reading the name list. When he heard Mu Po mention the daughter of the official family, he raised his eyes to take a look.

Out of a few hundred people, only four or five were chosen.

There were only two reasons. One was that they were the people Mu Po needed, and the other was more or less similar to Mu Ruqing.

The girl who was not chosen was sent back home again, including the daughter of the official's family.

After he was done with the draft, Yu Longchen's mood became more and more unpleasant. He held his hands to his left and right, and went to the place Mu Ruqing loved the most in the Imperial Palace.

He couldn't help but think about Mu Ruqing's appearance at that time. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Jiang Yingxue saw Yu Longchen from afar and her heart was full of confidence. She paced around in the surroundings. Her position in the Imperial Palace was just like this, a rough palace maid.

The more Yu Longchen thought about it, the more painful his expression became. He slightly raised his head and was about to walk when he saw the palace maid not far away when he went down the stairs.

Originally he did not care about it but Jiang Yingxue's makeup was already seventy to eighty percent similar to Mu Ruqing. As long as she let Yu Longchen see her face, it would definitely attract Yu Longchen's attention.

Thinking about it, Jiang Yingxue slightly raised her head and only gave a portion of Yu Longchen's face. She knew that Yu Longchen would definitely be able to see it.

Concentrating on doing her own things, not long after, a person came in front of her. Dressed in a black gold dragon robe, Jiang Yingxue was delighted in her heart and quickly knelt down, "This servant greets the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"

"Raise your head." Yu Longchen's cold voice sounded.

Jiang Yingxue pretended to be flustered and raised her head half a beat slower.

When she completely lifted her head, Jiang Yingxue clearly saw the amazement in Yu Longchen's eyes, but she could not show her happiness. She could only pretend to be afraid and kept lowering her head.

"What's your name?" Yu Longchen asked again.

"Xue Er."

"You look like a person." Yu Longchen left after saying that.

Jiang Yingxue was more and more sure that Yu Longchen remembered her. He must have said that he looked like Mu Ruqing.

Thinking about it, she happily went back.

Yu Longchen took a few steps and slightly turned his head. He looked at Jiang Yingxue out of the corner of his eye and the corner of his mouth curled up into a mysterious smile.

Since he had chosen the person, it meant that he was conferred the title. The matter of the title of Elementary Scholar was originally the matter of the Empress. But the Empress was not present. In order to hide the news of Mu Ruqing, Yu Longchen could only imitate Mu Ruqing's previous appearance and write a few notes. He folded them together and picked up the names of the girls. There was a word on it: Concubine.

Then the owner of this name will be conferred the title of a concubine...

The following people all had their positions decided like this.

"Gao Mao." Yu Longchen called out and passed the name list to him, "Go and do it. Also, find a palace maid called Xue'er and confer her the title of beauty."

Gao Mao was a little surprised and did not dare to show any more reaction. He nodded his head and left.

Gao Mao's ability to handle matters was very strong. That night, he found Jiang Yingxue and directly brought her to the hall. He distributed palace maids and bestowed the position of beauty.

The next day, those girls moved to the palace.

The one who was in the same palace as Jiang Yingxue was the concubine's concubine's concubine's daughter - Concubine Wan.

Concubine Wan was the main palace in the hall and Jiang Yingxue was only living in the side hall. She was still under Concubine Wan's control.

Jiang Yingxue was very familiar with that Concubine Wan. She was spoiled by the Cabinet's Prime Minister and had a rude and arrogant temper but she still had some brains.

Concubine Wan did not know who that so-called snow beauty was but when she heard that there was such a snow beauty living in her side hall, she felt very disgusted in her heart.

She asked servant girl who accompanied her into the Palace, "Which family's young miss is that snow beauty? Why haven't I heard of her during the talent show?"

"Just now this servant inquired and found out that the beauty is not the young miss of the official family. She is just a palace maid of the palace. I don't know what method she used to get the Emperor to give her the position of a beauty."

"Then why is the palace hall that entered together with her arranged for her to be in my palace hall?" The contour of Concubine Wan's face was somewhat similar to Mu Ruqing and at this moment her eyebrows were raised and she looked very unhappy.

"Your Ladyship is the best one among the batch of beautiful ladies that entered the Palace. What is that beauty? It means that the Emperor still loves Your Ladyship the most. Who knows, he might choose to sleep with Your Ladyship on the first night." The palace maids at the side flattered.

If Concubine Wan knew that this person was drawn by Yu Longchen, she would probably be angered to death.

Hearing the palace maid's words, her face turned red. She did not blame the palace maid but instead looked shy and answered, "That would be for the best."

"That is inevitable."

"But I am curious, come with me to see what this snow beauty looks like. " Concubine Wan raised her hand and the palace maid supported her. Just like a consort, she put on an air of arrogance.

Jiang Yingxue knew that Concubine Wan was with her and thought that she would definitely come and find trouble with her.

Sure enough, the person arrived before the items were placed.

"Younger sister's name is very unfamiliar. It seems like I have never heard of it before?"

The voice arrived before the person had even entered the door.

"Greetings, Sister Concubine Wan." Jiang Yingxue pretended to bow. She could not go head to head with Concubine Wan right now.

Concubine Wan directly sat at the main seat and did not wake her up. She covered her nose and said in disgust, "Why is there a smell in little sister's room? It is very unpleasant and this room is also extremely shabby. It is indeed bitch's birth."

Jiang Yingxue smiled and did not care too much. After all, she did not care about Concubine Wan's words.

The palace maid beside Concubine Wan replied, "There are people taking care of the room every day and it is impossible for there to be a smell. Your Ladyship is afraid that what she smelled is the smell of a human body."

"Is that so?" Concubine Wan pretended not to know and acted innocent.

"Of course. Your Ladyship's noble body is not something that bitch can compare with."

"That's true. So what if she climbed up to this position? bitch is bitch. I'm afraid that she will not be able to sit stably in this position. " Concubine Wan's words were full of ridicule.

Jiang Yingxue kept kneeling on the ground and lowered her head, not responding to her words.

Concubine Wan saw that she did not move at all and felt bored in her heart, "Little sister, take good care of it."

She got up and walked out. She passed by Jiang Yingxue's matter and deliberately stepped on her hand.

Jiang Yingxue snorted.

Concubine Wan then pretended to be surprised and said, "I'm really sorry to step on younger sister."

Jiang Yingxue looked at the red finger and anger ignited in her heart. Now she was unable to do anything to her, so she could only walk around weakly, "It's fine, as long as elder sister did not fall."

"Hmph." Concubine Wan rolled her eyes and walked out nonchalantly.

Jiang Yingxue was helped up by the palace maid beside her and looked at Concubine Wan's back.

"Beauty, are you alright?" The palace maid looked at her red and swollen fingers and scolded in a low voice, "Is Concubine Wan so arrogant!"

"Shh, don't let her hear."

"Beauty..."

" But it's a bit swollen. " Jiang Yingxue smiled gently.
