The emperor stroked his recently grown beard and said, "This woman's dance is unique and good."
The emperor raised a sign of approval, and the queen raised a sign of rejection.
"Is this the so-called stunning dance? Tsk, it's just like that."
There are two big bosses, one is satisfied and the other is dissatisfied, and the pressure comes to the concubines.
The concubine and the monk looked at each other and knew that nothing good was going to happen here today.
I thought today would be a fun day like the last Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, but I didn't expect this to be a life-and-death situation.
To offend the emperor is a dead end, and to offend the empress is not much better, either you will get a slippery tire package or be rewarded with a ten-year tour in the cold palace.
Everyone raised their signs nervously. Some had high scores, some had low scores. Xiang Hua quickly calculated the scores.
"After removing the highest score of 9.8 and the lowest score of 0, Zhenhuan's final score is 7.3."
As soon as the results were announced, notices were quickly posted outside the palace, which was incredibly efficient.
On Dagua Street, people were reading the notices and talking about the matter while eating melon seeds.
The hobby of cracking melon seeds has evolved from Xiang Hua's personal hobby to a hobby for the whole nation.
"Next, please invite An Xiaoniao, the daughter of An Bihuai, the county magistrate of Songyang, to perform a song. Please invite Sheng Meizhuang, the daughter of Sheng Zishan, the governor of Jeju, to prepare in advance."
The dark bird slowly came onto the stage, and its melodious singing touched people's hearts.
As soon as the emperor heard this, he suddenly laughed, and the queen followed closely and turned around slowly.
"The little bird sings beautifully, very nice." The emperor's eyes lit up, he liked it.
"It's just so-so." The queen held up a sign of rejection.
When it was the concubines' turn to give their scores, the concubine hanging on the branch whispered something to the monk. The concubines looked at each other and understood what they meant.
Xiang Hua almost laughed out loud when she saw the scores they gave.
"Remove the highest score of 5 points and the lowest score of 5 points, and the average score of Dark Bird is 5 points."
They are really a bunch of smart women. I would give them a score of 5, no lower than that. They don’t want to offend either the emperor or the empress.
And everyone gave the same score, so there was no question of targeting any particular beauty.
The audition went relatively smoothly, except that everyone's score was only 5 points, which left the contestants speechless.
Yixiu, who was highly expected, came up with a tongue twister on the spot, "Black fertilizer turns gray, and gray fertilizer turns black. Black fertilizer turns gray and evaporates, and gray fertilizer evaporates and turns black..."
The show Hua Fei performed was the magic of "A Zhang of Red". The white cloth in her hand suddenly turned red, and everyone exclaimed it was magical.
"Now, please welcome today's last showgirl, Ji Beibei, to perform a song for us."
As soon as Xiang Hua put down the speaker, Ji Beibei rushed onto the stage, singing and dancing to the cheerful music.
"-Jijijijijijijijijiji baby baby baby baby baby~"
With seductive voices and passionate moves, the atmosphere of the talent show suddenly entered the daytime stage.
With a snap, the emperor exploded again.
The queen rolled her eyes silently: "Damn it, have you never seen a woman before? You are so hungry for every woman you see?"
Ji Beibei's performance received a lot of applause, but the result was still the same.
The Emperor voted in favor, the Empress disagreed, and all the concubines gave 5 points.
After the talent show, the one with the highest score was Zhen Huan with 7.3 points.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing for An Xiaoniao, Sheng Meizhuang and Ji Beibei.
The good thing is that everyone has the same scores and can enter the third round of interviews.
The bad news is that the third round is an interview with the Emperor and the Empress in person, so the pressure is quite high.
The emperor was so eager to choose a concubine that he didn't give anyone a break and started right away.
Xiang Hua, as the hardworking editor, was responsible for quietly recording everything.
As soon as the third round of interview started, the Queen went all out. Her questions were questions you wouldn't expect, but there was nothing she couldn't ask.
"Do you think that human nature is good or evil?"
“If a person commits suicide, do you think she has figured it out or not?”
"If you are pregnant, I will give you a bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine, will you drink it?"
"Who do you think is prettier, you or me? Why?"
“What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?”
Faced with the Queen's serial deaths, some of the concubines were so scared that they wet their pants.
Some were so terrified that they could not speak, some burst into tears while speaking, and some tried for a long time but could not come up with a satisfactory answer and had to keep silent.
The emperor looked at the queen with a slightly angry expression: "Woman, what do you want to do? If you don't want me to choose a concubine, just say so. Why bother with all this nonsense?"
"Makan, take your time answering and don't be nervous. I think you are great."
"Don't think too much, An Xiaoniao. I believe you can do it."
"Sheng Meizhuang, come on, I'm rooting for you."
"Ji Beibei, fighting!"
The greater the hurt the concubines suffered from the Queen, the greater the comfort they received from the Emperor.
Xiang Hua looked at the Shuras and secretly felt lucky that she had always been determined not to marry into the royal family, otherwise she would be the one suffering now.
Not to mention dealing with the Queen's tricky and life-threatening questions, she would even be eliminated from the talent show at the beginning because she has no talent.
Of course, if cracking melon seeds can be considered a talent, then she would definitely be a big hit.
After the final round of interviews, there were still eight contestants left.
Xiang Hua had finished her work, and just when she was about to leave, she was suddenly stopped by the emperor.
