"Are you also a contestant?" The middle-aged eunuch's eyes widened when he saw Bai Yin'er walking out of the palace.
Because he had been in the palace for decades and had gone through dozens of concubine selections, but he had never seen any contestant dressed up like this.
You're not here to choose a concubine, you're here to beg!
Also, which woman in the world doesn't have long and elegant hair? This woman's head is actually so short that it just goes over her ears. It's really strange.
"Yes!" Bai Yin'er nodded her head gently.
"Why do you look like this?" the middle-aged eunuch asked with a frown. It would be bad if he went to participate in the concubine selection like this and angered the emperor.
"I've always been like this. If you think I'm not qualified to participate in the concubine selection, just disqualify me!" Bai Yin'er said lightly.
"this……!"
The middle-aged eunuch was startled when he heard this, and then shook his head helplessly. How could he have such authority?
All beauties nominated for the contest must be reviewed by the Emperor himself, and only the Emperor has the authority to decide whether to stay or go.
"That's it! Come with me! Each person can only bring one guard and one maid, the others are waiting here!"
The middle-aged eunuch shouted loudly, then turned around and walked out.
Then, the eleven contestants each left Yuming Palace with a maid and a bodyguard, following the middle-aged eunuch.
Of course Su Mo also went. He was Bai Yin'er's personal bodyguard, so he would naturally follow her.
Everyone followed the middle-aged eunuch, walking in the huge palace, walking through the avenues, bypassing the palaces, and finally came to a garden.
The garden is not very big, covering an area of more than two thousand feet. There are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants planted in it, which is dazzling.
In the center of the garden, there is a small square.
At this moment, the square was quite lively, and hundreds of contestants had already arrived.
Outside the square, a large number of maids and guards gathered.
At one end of the square, a grandstand was built, with dozens of strong men sitting on it.
These powerful men here all had strong auras. Su Mo took a quick look and found that the weakest ones among them were stronger than the main ones in Yangwucheng and Baicheng.
It seems that these people are all important figures in the Shenwu Kingdom!
Among these powerful men, Su Mo also saw the old man who gave him the Blood Seeds in the Fire Palace the night before yesterday.
He immediately felt a chill in his heart, and secretly used the wood-attribute profound energy in his body to cover up the aura on his body.
That night, Su Mo only used metallic profound energy, so now all the metallic profound energy in his body was restrained, and the woody profound energy filled his body. The aura on his body was completely different from that night.
Su Mo was confident that the old man would never recognize him. The aura on his body had changed, and his appearance had also changed. Therefore, no matter how powerful the old man was, he would not be able to discover his identity.
Su Mo continued to observe. In the center of the stand, a huge throne stood quietly. There was no one on the throne. It was obvious that Emperor Shenwu had not arrived yet.
After Su Mo and others arrived, arrangements were made immediately, and all the maids and guards were waiting outside the square.
Under the arrangement of other eunuchs, all the contestants lined up neatly in a row, facing the stands, waiting for the concubine selection to begin.
The contestants from the thirty-six cities of the Shenwu Kingdom lined up in a row, with a total of thirty-six rows, about 366 people.
Each of the more than 360 people received a waist badge and hung it on their waist.
Everyone's waistband has a number recorded on them. When choosing a concubine, they don't have names, only numbers.
Su Mo noticed that Bai Yin'er's number was No. 362. The people from Yangwucheng arrived late, so they were numbered at the end.
Low voices of discussion came from all directions, and many escorts and maids were whispering.
Some powerful people in the stands were also laughing and chatting, praising the selection of concubines this time and the quality of the contestants were all very good!
It's just a different kind of person, standing among all the contestants, but he seems extremely out of place.
This person was none other than Bai Yin'er, and her appearance inevitably attracted everyone's attention.
The other contestants were all gorgeous in their colorful skirts and blooming flowers.
And Bai Yin'er is like an ugly duckling among the swans, very unsociable.
Of course, there were also many powerful people who recognized Bai Yin'er's identity.
After all, as the daughter of the lord of Yangcheng, one of the thirty-six cities of the Shenwu Kingdom, Bai Yin'er's status is not bad.
Many people also guessed the reason why Bai Yin'er did this, but they all secretly shook their heads. This was really stupid. Not only was it useless, but it would attract the emperor's attention.
Everyone is waiting for the arrival of Emperor Shenwu.
This process didn't take long, just after some tea time, a yellow figure appeared in the sky, stepping out of the void.
Su Mo immediately raised his head and looked directly at the yellow figure in the sky.
I saw that this was a young man, about twenty-seven or eighty years old, with a stern face, wearing an ocher yellow robe and a purple-gold crown on his head. His aura was so profound that no one could tell the depth.
Su Mo narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt that this person was very dangerous. He was definitely a super strong person.
Whoosh!
The young man took a hundred feet in one step, as fast as the wind, and was above the stands in an instant, and then landed directly on the throne.
"Greetings to the Emperor!"
Everyone immediately shouted and saluted the young man, including all the strong men in the stands, without exception.
In order not to attract the Shenwu Emperor's attention, Su Mo also bowed and saluted.
"Your Majesty, please stand up!" Emperor Shenwu sat on the throne and waved his broad sleeves gently, beckoning everyone to stand up.
"Thank you, Emperor!" Everyone shouted loudly again, and then stood up one after another.
"Your Majesty, all the beauties from the thirty-six cities have arrived. Can the concubine selection begin?"
At this time, an old eunuch walked to the bottom of the stand and respectfully asked Emperor Shenwu.
"Let's begin!" Emperor Shenwu nodded lightly.
"yes!"
The old eunuch shouted in response and immediately turned around to look at the beauties in the square.
"Tianwu City's beauties, each step forward five steps to accept the emperor's selection!" the old eunuch said loudly.
Hearing what the old eunuch said, the ten beauties in the first row in the square stepped forward one after another.
"Please take a look at it, the Emperor!" the old eunuch said to Emperor Shenwu.
Emperor Shenwu looked lightly, carefully scanned the ten beauties in front of him, and said: "No. 8!"
As soon as Emperor Shenwu finished speaking, the No. 8 beauty's face suddenly showed joy.
Being chosen by the emperor means that she will become the emperor's concubine, the concubine of the leader of the Shenwu Kingdom. This is a supreme honor.
Although Bai Yin'er is unwilling to stand for election, not all others are like that, and some even desire to become the imperial concubine.
Although the emperor had many concubines and their status was not very high, they were still concubines after all.
