The emperor was even happier.
The emperor was so adorable because of Yan Bao that during the selection of concubines, he took Yan Bao's hand to the selection palace and let Yan Bao stand beside the dragon throne. If he was tired, he would hold Yan Bao on his lap.
Only Yan Bao has this treatment, other little princesses do not.
Concubine Jing looked at the emperor who favored Yan Bao and subconsciously stroked her belly. If she gave birth to a daughter, it would be enough to be loved so much by the emperor.
Soon, the selection began. The first batch of beauties walked in very well-behaved manners, with their brows lowered and their eyes not looking around. They all looked honest and did not dare to look directly at the emperor.
When Eunuch Fu called out their names, they came forward one by one and saluted.
If the emperor was interested in something, he would ask the person to look up and take a look. If the person liked it, he would give flowers to the person. If the person did not like it, he would give him a sachet to the person.
There were four women in the first batch, and none of them were kept.
There is one who looks pretty good, but compared with other beauties who are as beautiful as flowers, she is a little less attractive.
There are over a hundred girls participating in this year's draft, and there are plenty to choose from!
Yan Bao watched the beauties being eliminated while waiting for her cousin to come and see the emperor.
Yue Lingwan was lucky enough to be assigned to Group 8, neither too far ahead nor too far behind. She saw many beauties being given sachets, and those who stayed behind either had good family backgrounds or outstanding looks.
When it was Yue Lingwan's turn, everyone else in her group was relatively ordinary except for her.
While waiting, Yue Lingwan felt a slight itch on her face. She couldn't help scratching it a few times and asked others if they had a mirror. She wanted to see her face, but they all said it was fine.
Yue Lingwan always felt that they were deceiving her.
I wanted to ask my personal maid, but when I was waiting, the maids were all outside and couldn't come in.
Therefore, Yue Lingwan had no choice but to move forward.
When Yue Lingwan's name was called, she slowly raised her head and smiled sweetly, without showing her teeth. She knew that she looked pretty and liked this smile.
Who knew that when Yue Lingwan raised her head, the emperor was obviously stunned for a moment, glanced at Yue Lingwan and then looked away. Eunuch Fu knew what was going on when he saw the emperor's expression.
Concubine Jing frowned and said nothing.
Yan Bao's expression changed slightly: [Oh my god, cousin, if you don't want to be chosen, you don't have to ruin your face like this. What if you get disfigured?]
[Not sure. Let me take another look. My cousin wants to be chosen so badly, why would she go to the trouble of disfiguring herself to scare the emperor into not being chosen?]
Yan Bao narrowed his eyes, looking at Yue Lingwan's rash-covered face, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face: "Whether my cousin can be selected or not is up to the emperor. She can't be tricked into not being selected."
