Youfu quickly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I can't stop this beautiful girl from entering the palace. The list is with the Queen Mother, and I really can't do anything about it."
"But don't worry, I have bribed the nanny in charge of the selection, and I will do my best to make this happen."
The housekeeper has the right to remove people from the list, and Youfu has already made arrangements.
It is not easy to be selected and keep the card. To become a showgirl, you have to pass several levels.
At each level, Youfu told the selection nanny to be strict and try to get as many people as possible to pass.
Among them, the first one was about appearance and figure, and Youfu told the housekeeper about it.
The emperor likes girls with black hair like waterfalls, fair skin, pretty oval faces, big watery eyes, and graceful and curvy figures.
It is best to brush away those who are ugly, have grassy hair, yellowish skin, and flat body.
Youfu thought evilly that according to the conditions he mentioned, many people would be eliminated in the first round.
Not to mention the second and third rounds.
In Yuxiu Palace.
The matron in charge had a long face and looked at the dozens of rows of beauties with an unfriendly expression.
It was also the first time that Xu Jinyi saw such a grand ceremony. She didn't expect that there would be so many people coming to participate in the show.
Yes, this time all women of appropriate age in the capital must participate.
There are probably more than a thousand people here.
"It's over, Third Sister, look at that nanny, she's so fierce. I really hope she can eliminate me in the first round. Facing such a face, it's really stressful."
With his head lowered, Xu Nianhuan talked in a low voice with Xu Jinyi.
Not only them, but other concubines were also whispering.
With thousands of people talking, the noise is quite loud.
The housekeeper's face darkened as she loudly rebuked, "Did I tell you to speak? This is in the palace, not your home."
They all lowered their heads after being scolded.
"In the palace, you must know the etiquette of your words and actions. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may lose your life."
"It's not easy to enter the harem, become a superior person, and gain the emperor's favor."
The concubines: ...They don't want the chance to become superior to others, nor do they want to gain the emperor's favor.
They just wanted to go home, except Xu Jinyi.
"You will have to go through a lot of inspections. Whether you can stay for a period of time will depend on the list in my hand."
"I hope your names will be lucky enough to stay until the end and not be crossed out by me too early."
"If you're eliminated in the first round, it would be a disgrace to your family."
The concubines listened attentively and took the nanny's words to heart.
What Mammy said makes sense.
Indeed, none of them want to be left behind, but being eliminated too early will affect their reputation.
It will have some impact on future marriage.
The originally listless concubines all perked up.
The nanny nodded in satisfaction and opened the roster in her hand. "Now the first round is about appearance. Please call out your name and come forward."
"The second young lady of the Shangshu Mansion is Su Yuejin, and the third young lady is Su Yuehe."
The second young lady of the Shangshu Mansion was wearing a lavender top, a moon-white gauze skirt, and her long hair was floating on her shoulders. She walked out slowly with small steps.
The third young lady wore a light blue dress, lightly made up, and had narrow eyes. She looked elegant and graceful.
The nanny walked up to the two of them, then glanced at Su Yuejin, who had slightly yellow skin, and crossed out her name.
"The skin is not white enough and the body is too short."
Su Yuejin's face turned red with shame and anger, and she lowered her head in anger, her handkerchief almost being torn to pieces by her fingers.
"The breasts are not big enough, and they haven't grown where they should." Then he crossed out Su Yuehe's name as well.
The more confident you are when you stand up, the more embarrassed you will be when you leave.
The two of them left in tears.
How could they not be ashamed and angry when the nanny pointed out their shortcomings in front of so many noble ladies?
No one expected that the housekeeper was so sharp-tongued. Wasn't she afraid that they would complain and be retaliated against after they returned?
To be honest, the housekeeper is not afraid at all, because she has a strong backing.
Everyone was also a little stunned. They found other people's jokes funny just now, but when they thought it would be their turn soon, they were filled with fear.
The third young lady from the Shangshu Mansion was very pretty, but I didn’t expect that she was not kept.
Moreover, most of them have just reached adulthood and are in their teens. Their bodies have not yet fully developed. Isn't this normal?
Using this reason is so hurtful. Figure and appearance are what women care about most.
They all looked at their chests worriedly, some of them worried that they would have to confront the housekeeper.
Then, a series of vicious and harsh words came out of the housekeeper's mouth.
"My skin is bad and I have a lot of acne."
"My pores are large and not white enough."
"His hair is dull and his eyes are too small."
"Short and short."
"He looks so sarcastic and unpleasant."
More and more names were crossed out on the list in her hand, and the remaining concubines looked at those who were eliminated with a sense of superiority.
Xu Jinyi looked at the nanny. This was not a talent show, it was clearly a beauty pageant.
"The second young lady of Yong'an Marquis Mansion, Xu Nianhuan, and the third young lady, Xu Jinyi."
As Xu Jinyi walked out from the corner, everyone held their breath, and their eyes were attracted by her stunning appearance.
It was a pretty oval face, with a small and firm nose, big eyes as curved as the moon, and thin lips.
She had light makeup on her face, which matched her curvy figure, making her look gorgeous but not delicate, and pure but not vulgar.
Her thick, three thousand strands of black hair were casually draped down, making her as beautiful as a fairy who was not of this world.
The nanny frowned slightly and looked around at Xu Jinyi, trying to find some flaws.
Beautiful facial features!
Perfect figure!
Hair like a waterfall!
Fair and flawless skin!
Long legs, a waist that can be held in one hand, and a well-proportioned figure!
After looking around, the nanny couldn't find any fault on Xu Jinyi, not even a mole.
She looked again and thought of Youfu, the emperor's favorite. She looked at Xu Jinyi again and felt that the conditions mentioned by Eunuch Youfu were all about Xu Jinyi.
Thinking of the Empress Dowager again, the nanny had a dark face and could only let Xu Jinyi pass this hurdle.
I was secretly thinking about eliminating Xu Jinyi next time.
If there was such a charming noblewoman in the harem, not only would the empress dowager be displeased, but the queen would also have to cause trouble for her.
If Xu Jinyi were to pass, it would be equivalent to offending all the concubines in the harem.
And she looks like this, a beauty that brings disaster. If she wins the emperor's favor, such a seductive person...
Can't stay, can't stay.
Xu Nianhuan had a good foundation as well, so he was also kept.
The first round ended quickly, and most of the beauties were eliminated, leaving less than a hundred.
It shows how picky the housekeeper is.
Of course, those who stayed had pleasing looks at first glance.
