By the end of June and the beginning of July, the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and even the Gyeonggi Dynasty were so busy that the host and guest Qing Shi Department were basically eager to break it in half for twelve hours a day to save money, and the accommodation that the in-laws and envoys of various countries needed to arrange was an extremely headache.

Emperor Jing of Chaoyuan Kingdom chose to form an alliance of relatives this time, which can be described as an unprecedented case, and he turned a private strong alliance into a prosperous concubine selection conference.

Yanjing's post house is definitely not able to live, fortunately they built a simple military camp in the field camp outside Yanjing City in the early years, and most of the soldiers and horses and pomp brought by the country are all around the city.

Even so, the VIPs who need to be arranged one by one also need to take a lot of pain, in addition to arranging some noble relatives related to Emperor Jing, the palace side is to arrange some powerful countries in a timely manner, and Emperor Jing agreed to place them in the palace, and the rest of the scattered arrangements are arranged in the mansions of some officials in Beijing according to the national level, and they can only be arranged in the largest inn in Yanjing.

In addition to arranging these foreign envoys, it is to carry out a series of operations for the next matter of Emperor Jing's selection of concubines.

Thinking that the general marriage is just an internal decision, but their majesty is not ordinary, and they actually made such a competition on the same stage, but this also made them suffer.

How high is the threshold of Chaoyuan Kingdom, and how rich is Emperor Jing's identity, who doesn't know how to do it? Those countries that didn't have a chance can not be greedy to run to compete for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which originally had the opportunity, but also rushed to the post not to be missed, this swarm of people rushing up, it is really tickling.

There are more than 100 countries that have sent the national documents this time, and this number is simply crazy, but it is conceivable that if you want to have a relationship with Chaoyuan Kingdom, it is like a mad dog grabbing food.

There is a reason why so many countries will fight for their heads, just because the conditions set by His Majesty Emperor Jing are no conditions, he does not choose countries, only people, as long as it can enter his eyes.

This condition is also too lenient, many officials in the national capital are whispering in secret, and after some discussion, they decided to grasp the mind of His Majesty and make the following arrangements.

His Majesty is preparing to choose people, in this case, they have to arrange a chance for His Majesty to officially meet with the princesses and county lords of all countries, but seeing that there are so many people, how can they see them one by one, so talent competition is necessary.

But before that, they felt that it was necessary to conduct a necessary audit and screening, which was also very necessary.

First of all, the first level is naturally the age pass, different exotic women thirteen, the Central Plains women are generally sixteen adults, so the age is limited to sixteen to eighteen, if there are special reasons to relax the number of years.

This level didn't cause much movement, after all, people from all countries are not stupid, they can choose to choose the right age to marry, but some of the true clans can't find the right age, they can only take the small number of years to fill the number, such as Xiao Baoyin, the Rakshasa princess of the ghost country, she is fifteen years old, but she can report sixteen years old, and then move out of the state of the ghost snake power and stuff some benefits with officials, but you can also pass the test in confusion.

This is called a "special cause".

Princess Bao Dai, Princess Rakshasa Xiao Baoyin and Yu Wenying of the first level of Yu Ziying undoubtedly passed.

The second level is not as graceful as the first level, and it is screened by hard conditions.

Appearance, but this appearance is not just the face, but the overall appearance, "black hair cicada sideburns", "black hair" means to have a long black hair, "cicada sideburns" refers to the cheeks on both sides of the ears as thin as cicada wings hair, in addition to "eyebrows and green daisy", "bright eyes and bright eyes", "red lips and teeth", "jade fingers and arms", "thin waist and snow skin", "red makeup and whitewash", "limbs fragrant", "lotus feet supreme".

The above-mentioned nine standard aesthetic concepts basically constitute the indicators of this selection, but the lotus foot does not refer to the three-inch golden lotus that binds the foot, and there is no such tragic cruelty to women as foot binding in the Jiuzhou Continent, but it is still beautiful with small feet, white, and transparent.

To say that the princesses and county lords who came to marry this time are all beautiful and beautiful, but after all, some of them are still up to standard, but most of them are some small countries that have no power and no wealth and have been neatly brushed down.

Next, there is knowledge, talent, etc., a lot of one pass after another, even if you don't take it down, you must be willing to scrape a layer of skin, thinking about a trip to the Abyss country to catch up with the gold cave, the general country is fast to withstand the speed of such a wealth clearance.

And Yu Ziying's "Princess Bao Dai" naturally can't pass the literary pass, she even belongs to the aristocratic etiquette is half-toned, and those highly skilled qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are even more confused, which is unexpectedly the same as Yu Ziying, Yu Ziying's literature in Jiuzhou is even more ignorant than Mu Xiaofeng, fortunately, Mu Lige helped her all the way down, but she was not taken down.

It's just that every time Yu Ziying was returned to the inn, Mu Lige looked at her with an expression of wanting to speak and stopping.

"Xiaofeng, even if the imperial brother is the king of a country, but the money is not for burning paper, you ...... How hard you've tried. Finally, when she knocked out three levels in a row, Mu Lige patted her on the shoulder bitterly.

Yu Ziying looked back at him with a very "helpless" and "unreasonable" look: "Brother Huang, you know best how many catties and taels your imperial sister has, since you insisted on making this decision, then...... You have to be mentally prepared to carry it. ”

After speaking, he went back to the room to rest freely, leaving Mu Lige alone to poke stiffly in place, and the poor fox smiling face was as ugly as constipation.

Unspoken rules abound, on the other hand, Xiao Baoyin also spent a lot of money, although she is not bad, but she is still worse than the dazzling beauty, and her knowledge is good, but in the end, she is just a princess who is forcibly sealed by a clan lord, so she also spent a lot of money on etiquette and talent.

So she has been very weak recently, and she is very weak in the face of the anger of the ghost country.

Originally, after the team sent by Nu and the Ghost Snake Kingdom converged in Yanjing, they should have entered the palace directly to meet Emperor Jing, there is no doubt that the Ghost Kingdom is a great power, and the relationship between Nu and Emperor Jing is also worth considering, so the palace has already arranged a place for their group, but Nu refused to enter the palace to live, and still lives in an inn in the city, which makes many people suspicious.

When Mu Lige learned the news, he narrowed his fox eyes slightly, his eyes were cloudy, he glanced at "Mu Xiaofeng", and said seriously: "The king of this country and the prince of a country, you should understand how to choose." ”

"Mu Xiaofeng" raised her eyebrows and grinned, implying a little evil: "Emperor Jing didn't take you into the palace, so you don't need to turn around to retaliate against innocent people, right?" ”

Mu Lige's sinister expression shattered in an instant.

He gritted his teeth secretly and said - in the future, she must not be allowed to contact with the Marquis of Nu again, seeing that the imperial sister who had never pricked his head before was taken by them for a few months, and she became more and more unforgiving!

——

After roughly sorting out and screening the objects of this marriage country, the roster of the best and best princesses of various countries will be submitted to the household department, and then the household department will report to Emperor Jing, and the emperor will decide the date of selection.

July 7

Emperor Jing selected the date of the trial, and then arranged for the princesses selected by the countries to be sent to the palace in a carriage, and then the relevant personnel arranged the order, according to the order of strong, medium, and small countries.

At sunrise, the car is distributed, about noon through the Zhengyang Gate, arrive outside the Shenwu Gate and wait for the palace gate to open and get off, under the guidance of the eunuchs in the palace, enter the Guantian Gate in order.

These arrangements for the selection of the site in the Huantan Square, the Huantan Square covers an area of dozens of hectares, the concave outer tan in the back character, the ground is all paved with light-colored granite strips of stone after special technology treatment, the whole square is magnificent, neat and symmetrical, integrated and magnificent.

The whirring wind blew the python dragon green flag, the noon sun scorched the earth like a round of fire, and the wind was like a fan out of the furnace, steaming, blowing onto the body, scorching hot

The objects of marriage from various countries were sent by special people to the recess of the square and then retreated, leaving only a few columns of elite soldiers standing in all directions.

This trial also included the reception of foreign guests from all over the world, so Chaoyuan Kingdom temporarily set up cool seats around the square, and from a distance, all kinds of people had already entered the seats.

The people of various countries watched their princesses being arranged in the square for a trial, and couldn't help but glance at the red sun hanging overhead with concern.

"You say...... What did they bring us here for? But as soon as they stood for a while, the delicate princesses were already drenched in cold sweat and flour, and they were so uncomfortable that they could hardly hold up their graceful and upright figures.

Hundreds of beauties were collectively exposed to the sun, unable to retreat and enter, and there were no people around them, and it was impossible to call someone to take an umbrella to shade the sun.

"Who knows, I'm so dizzy~ If I continue to tan like this, my makeup will be almost gone!" I don't know which country the princess of the country took out a handkerchief that she carried with her, twisted it lightly, wiped the sweat on her face, and muttered aggrievedly.

"Hey, you say...... Is this a rule, deliberately bringing us here......" The implication is self-evident.

Smart people have found out the problem, but it is rare to dare to say it so bluntly, after all, the situation is not clear, and it is easy to cause trouble.

"No matter what, we've come to this point, we just have to grit our teeth and persevere." A top-notch-looking girl, her eyebrows flashed with a resolute, hard air.

The others didn't speak, probably because they didn't admit defeat.

Among a group of girls, Yu Ziying is different from others, they are so hot that they are dizzy and sweaty, but she is as cool as jade, without heat at all, Xiao Baoyin naturally followed her because of living in the same inn during this period of time.

"Princess Bao Dai, do you think what they say is true?" She quietly bit her ear with Yu Ziying.

Yu Ziying glanced around, the main road was guarded by elite soldiers, the seats in the square were set far away, and the voice and conversation could not be heard clearly, all the people waiting were arranged on the periphery, the gilded dragon chairs and canopy seats were placed on the high platform, and dozens of officials of different levels of clothing were waiting on their backs, and the following were eunuchs and palace maids holding supplies, but the main lord Emperor Jing had not arrived for a long time, and no one had to urge.

"Don't let up, someone is watching in the dark." Yu Ziying didn't answer her words directly, but directly mentioned it.

When Xiao Baoyin heard this, he quickly regained his position, his eyes shifted around, and he asked in a low voice, "Really?" What exactly does this Jingdi want to do? ”

Yu Ziying covered her eyelashes, and according to the Jing Emperor she knew, she came to a conclusion: "He has a tyrannical attitude, and if you want to stay by his side, you have to adapt to torture of this level as soon as possible." ”

This sentence directly frightened Xiao Baoyin's face pale.

Yu Ziying didn't scare her, after all, there are facts as the basis, when she was by his side, he was tied to the back of the horse and slipped across the street, dragged all over the body, although he never had trouble again due to the relationship between the concentric Gu, but he has always had a special hobby, that is, he likes to put the living girl-made puppets he likes in the cupboard to reward, this person ...... Sadism is undoubted.

"Princess Bao Dai...... I'm afraid, what about you? Xiao Baoyin's flush that was hot just now has faded cleanly, and she also remembered the world's description of Emperor Jing, and she was almost scared to cry when she thought of marrying such a pervert in the future.

"......" Yu Ziying looked at her almost frightened appearance, and her lips moved: "If you are afraid, why do you want to come?" ”

Xiao Baoyin didn't answer, but Yu Ziying could see from her eyes that she was not voluntary.

The noon sun is as perverted as Emperor Jing, and the princesses who stay in the boudoir all the year round are all sunburned and hang their heads, about half an hour later, they are sunburned more than a dozen, and when they fall, they are quickly carried away by well-trained elite soldiers, and there is no sound at all during this period.

"What's going on? This ...... "Some of the strong people were stunned when they saw this scene.

"Why didn't anyone come...... They did it on purpose, woo...... Deliberately leaving us here to suffer! Someone whimpered and cried.

"I ...... I can't do it anymore, if I continue like this, I think I'll die......" The princess, who had never suffered so much, immediately collapsed, she trembled and tried to run with her two weak legs, but was stopped by the elite soldiers, and refused to let her go no matter how much she threatened and begged.

In the end, in desperation, she could only learn from those who were carried away to the ground and pretend to be unconscious, and sure enough, as soon as she fell to the ground, someone carried her away directly.

Therefore, the seats of the country corresponding to the princess who were carried away were also withdrawn.

Everyone gradually understood, but whenever the princess of any country was carried away, it meant ...... Straight out.

"I ...... I can't stand it, I'm so thirsty and tired, I can't hold on anymore. ”

"No, it's hard to stay this far, and I'll never give up."

Looking at the eliminated opponents one by one, the remaining people under the stabbing gradually divided into two factions, on the one hand, they couldn't bear the guilt and wanted to give up, and on the other hand, they were forced to hold on and refused to retreat.

"I, I'm so dizzy......" Xiao Baoyin gradually felt physically exhausted, her legs trembled, and she couldn't stand it anymore.

"Do you want to give up or continue?" Yu Ziying, who had been looking at the delicate princesses who had been cruising around the group of delicate princesses, then withdrew his gaze and glanced at her.

Xiao Baoyin's dilated pupils froze, and she hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'...... I don't want to give up like this, angry brother...... Father, they're going to be disappointed in me......"

Yu Ziying stretched out her hand to hold her, and suddenly a chill rushed into her body, Xiao Baoyin was suddenly shocked, her eyes widened, and she looked at Yu Ziying in surprise.

"Although for me to take one more step and take a few more steps, the result is the same, anyway, you can't reach the end, but if you persevere, then don't give up easily."

“…… Xie Lu Xie. Xiao Baoyin lowered his head and said softly.

After being exposed to the sun for a full hour, the people on the surrounding seats couldn't sit still, and they didn't dare to rush over, seeing that most of them had fallen, and the remaining half of the people were still strong, although they were thirsty, tired, angry and resentful, but they had to choose to compromise.

Finally, when they were about to despair, a long-term loud report sounded over the empty and distant square.

"I-Emperor-Driver-Dao."

The sluggish and sweaty women suddenly became agitated, clenched their fists, and stared at the high platform with green eyes.

The announcement passed as swiftly as an electric current, and the envoys of the countries on the outer seats stood up solemnly, and then came the sound of Tata's footsteps, which from near and far converged into a rustle like the whispers of countless streams, and the two teams came like two bands, from the north gate and the south gate.

These two teams were Dongchang and Jinyiwei, they stood in opposite rows, and there were only faint footsteps around them, and they couldn't even hear a cough, and the whole square was incredibly quiet.

With the attention of all people, Emperor Jing was dressed in a python green robe, covered with a layer of light green sprinkled gold gauze, surrounded by hundreds of officials and generals.

Although it didn't conform to the rules, everyone's eyes were focused on him as if they were tied by a whirlpool, but just one glance seemed to be stung by its light momentum, and they all looked down humbly, not daring to look directly for another second.

But there is a person in the field who is hidden among the high-ranking and beautiful girls, and her gaze is direct and undisguised.

His black hair was tied up and fixed with a crown of blue and gilt, his slender body was straight and straight, and he seemed to drive the wind and clouds when he walked, his pair of iron-gray eyes did not have any life, let alone any affinity, and his feminine and charming face revealed the innate nobility, and his expression still seemed to be as unattainable and low as before.

Indeed, as soon as he appeared, basically everyone in the field felt that they were sinking into the dust.

"Greetings to His Majesty Emperor Jing."

When he came to a stop on the high platform, everyone bowed down, but he was the only one who stood tall.

This is the emperor of Chaoyuan Kingdom, and this is His Majesty Emperor Jing, who has power and looks down on all countries!
