Chapter 180 I didn't see anyone

Qin Shaojing got the reminder and immediately prepared.

Since she came to the audition, she was aiming for the highest position.

But after hearing this, Lu Lingyun frowned and said, "Shao Jing, why don't you choose a light yellow one?"

The biggest star of this talent show is naturally His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But the prince did marry a wife.

Lu Lingyun knew that it was because the crown prince had been married for many years but had no children, so the emperor arranged such a beauty pageant to also select brides for other princes and fill up the backyard.

In this case, the Crown Princess would most likely be present. If what the eunuch said was true, it would not be a good thing.

Besides, the eunuch could tell them, and perhaps many concubines would also know about it.

In this case, Qin Shaojing has no advantage in wearing light blue clothes.

It's better to settle for the next best thing and choose the safest light yellow.

Qin Shaojing refused directly after hearing this, "How can this be possible? Choosing a light yellow is what the Queen Mother likes, but she may not be able to choose which prince to give it to."

Her family background is a big problem. Trying to please the Queen Mother is too risky. Even if she catches the Queen Mother's eye, she will definitely not marry her to the Eastern Palace.

It would be better to take a chance and win the prince's favor. If the prince takes a fancy to me, then my family background will not matter to me.

After listening to what the two said, Qin fell into deep thought and did not speak.

Qin Shaojing didn't care about what her aunt thought at this time, she turned around and went to the carriage to change her clothes.

When she came out, she had changed into a light blue dress.

Seeing this, Lu Lingyun said nothing more.

Qin Shaojing was too anxious.

She was eager to achieve success, and wished she could step into the highest place in one step, and soar into the sky in one go.

I don't want to stop for even a moment.

Seeing Qin Shaojing coming out with high spirits, Qin suppressed all her emotions in her deep eyes, sighed, and tidied Qin Shaojing's clothes, "Shaojing, you have to perform well, the Qin family depends on you."

"Um."

Qin Shaojing packed up neatly, and prepared all the accessories and reward money he brought with him.

Not long after, the nanny at the palace gate arrived.

Hearing her name being called, Qin Shaojing couldn't wait to say goodbye to Qin and Lu Lingyun.

"Aunt, I'm leaving."

"Shao Jing..." Qin Shi seemed to have sensed something at this time, and nervously pulled Qin Shao Jing, "Why don't you change to a light yellow one, it will be safer."

"Aunt, the light yellow color may not necessarily mean that I will be selected, and it is almost impossible for me to enter the Eastern Palace. Besides, there is no time now." Qin Shaojing shook off Qin's hand, looked at the aunt who was calling out the name, responded loudly, and walked over confidently.

Seeing her like this, Qin sighed slowly.

Qin Shaojing followed the nanny into the deep palace gate with confidence.

When she officially entered the palace, she saw a dozen or so concubines wearing light blue dresses.

When Qin Shaojing saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat.

At this time, a young lady in a light yellow dress came up to her and asked, "Sister, which family are you from?"

Qin Shaojing looked her up and down, noticing the Hetian jade pendant on her waist and the green glass hairpin on her head, and immediately smiled, "My aunt's family is the Ningyang Marquis Mansion, you can just call me Shaojing."

She did not announce the name of her own Duke Qin Mansion because the Duke Qin Mansion was in an awkward position now.

Her father died half a year ago, and the emperor posthumously conferred the title of Duke of Qin on him. This posthumous title was only conferred because the title had to be passed down. Under such circumstances, everyone in the capital knew that the Qin family was in an awkward situation.

If she said she came from Duke Qin's Mansion, no one would dare to touch her.

Sure enough, when she heard the name Ningyang Marquis Mansion, the young lady in front of her did not show any contempt, and said with a smile, "My family is from Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, Sister Shaojing, you can call me Luo'er."

They are both marquises and have equal status.

"Okay, Sister Luo'er."

After she introduced her considerable family background, she immediately became close to Qin Shaojing. She looked up and down at Qin Shaojing's clothes and couldn't help but say, "Sister Shaojing, why do you all like to wear pink and blue clothes today?"

When Qin Shaojing heard this, the tips of his ears turned slightly red. There were quite a few beauties today, probably about sixty or seventy, and among them there were actually fifteen or sixteen wearing pale blue clothes.

It was obvious at a glance that these people were just like her, they were all going after the prince.

"I usually like light blue." Qin Shaojing said stiffly.

"I actually like light yellow. Today my mother sent me to the palace and wanted me to change my clothes. I said no, light yellow is what I like. Maybe it will bring me good luck. Look, there are not many people wearing light yellow in the whole yard."

Qin Shaojing listened to this and smiled awkwardly, "I think light yellow looks good too."

At this moment, another maid came to announce the decree, and all the pretty ladies in the garden lined up.

Qin Shaojing happened to be standing in the same row with Luo'er this time, the first row.

Qin Shaojing suddenly felt that he was much more stable.

A large group of people followed the nanny through the complex and deep palace, listening to various teachings along the way. When they stopped, they entered an enormous garden.

That garden is bigger than the entire mansion.

In the large pavilion in the center of the garden were many people sitting, all dressed in the richest possible attire, with brilliant pearls and jade, and extremely gorgeous, surrounded by palace ladies and shadows cast by folding screens, just like the groups of immortals in ancient paintings.

But the distance was too far and I couldn't make out any faces.

Qin Shaojing was in the first row among the beautiful girls. She wanted to look up at the people above her, but she heard the scolding from the nanny next to her.

"You have forgotten the rules! You are not allowed to see the Holy Face!"

Qin Shaojing immediately lowered his head.

But she thought that since she was sitting in the front row, she would definitely have the opportunity to show her face later, and her heart was filled with a thousand kinds of pride and anticipation.

At this moment, she heard a voice coming from above.

"Are these all the beauties selected this year?" asked the lady-in-waiting beside the Queen Mother.

"Yes." The nanny stood in the middle and said, "Empress Dowager, shall we start the selection?"

There was a slight silence for a while, as if the people sitting there were discussing something.

Qin Shaojing's heart was in turmoil, and she just waited for them to finish their discussion so that she could take a step forward, see the people above her, and let the people above her see her.

But as the discussion above stopped, an old female voice was heard saying with displeasure, "Send away all those wearing pink and blue clothes!"

Qin Shaojing: “….”

As soon as she tried to look up, she was scolded harshly.

"What are you looking at! Hurry up and go down!" The nanny who brought them here immediately hurried them away.

Qin Shaojing: “….”

Not only did she not even see the prince's person, she didn't even see the faces of the empress dowager, the queen and other concubines, and she was eliminated.
