Night. Two moons slowly rose from the horizon, and the silver and ice blue brilliance complemented each other, gently pouring down on the majestic imperial palace complex in mid-air!

The stargazing platform in the southwest corner of the imperial palace was already crowded at the moment, and a large group of palace maids were busy nervously making final preparations for the upcoming grand event.

On the square in front of the imperial palace, countless luxurious small flying boats take off and land endlessly, but unlike the common ones used by those nobles in the past, the spaceships that appear today are all of uniform specifications and appearances, and the hull is without exception engraved with the silver dragon ornament dedicated to the imperial family, as well as the unique gold ring emblem of the imperial palace.

Martial law had been placed in the vicinity of the Imperial Palace, and the palace guards of the brigade were jointly responsible for the security of the Imperial Ministry of the Interior during this time.

A group of young girls dressed in costumes, led by the court officials, walked slowly down the gangway, and then gathered in front of the palace gate, and after the chief attendants checked the number of people and verified their identities, they then transferred to the flying car in the palace to go to the stargazing platform.

After arriving at their destination, the girls lined up under the command of the leading female officer, and then entered the main hall in an orderly manner.

"Are you almost there?" Xiao Muhan sat high on the phoenix seat, looked at the girls who came in casually, and asked lightly.

The purple-clothed female official beside her immediately bowed down and responded: "Yes, all the eligible women have entered the Imperial Palace, and after identity verification, they will all arrive here within ten minutes!" ”

"Well, calculate the time, Your Majesty should also come over!" The queen nodded and said, "You send someone to the imperial study to take a look, I think at this time, the government affairs should be dealt with!" ”

In the palace draft, according to the practice handed down by the royal families of the Star Sea, the women participating in the election are mainly from all the nobles in the empire with the title of viscount or above, officials with the governor of the planet and administrative positions of the same level, senior military generals with the rank of lieutenant general or above, or at least those with high-level abilities of the holy rank, among the immediate family members of these high-ranking figures in the empire, as long as there are qualified women, they are eligible to participate in the draft!

This draft is the first time since the founding of the Starlight Empire, so it is particularly grand, because the empire's territory is too large, up to more than 7,000 star fields, nearly 100,000 administrative planets! As a result, the number of participants reached hundreds of thousands, which is the highest in history!

In fact, the preliminary screening work began a few months ago, and the Imperial Household Office would send a large number of commissioners to various parts of the empire to conduct a preliminary review of all the qualified women, select those who met the requirements one by one, and then summarize the information and submit it to the Empress.

Then, these women will take the spaceship of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the imperial capital, and the female officials of the court will conduct a second round of selection, from posture and demeanor to etiquette, from clothing to mental knowledge, from family background to political inclination, religious beliefs, etc., all kinds of extremely harsh standards are checked layer by layer, and all those who do not meet the requirements are sent back to their hometowns.

After many rounds of screening, the final qualified people are less than 500 people, only this batch of women are eligible to participate in the cocktail party held in Wangxingyuntai, and the emperor and queen will also be present in person, as for whether they are blessed to marry into the royal family, it depends on their creation.

At this time, the eyes of the entire imperial capital elite are paying attention to this large-scale draft, and the result is not just as simple as who His Majesty the Emperor chooses, what they are most concerned about is whether the emperor's attitude towards the aristocratic families has changed, and the impact of the draft on the future court of the empire, what kind of changes will be made in the new round of power structure, etc.!

At seven o'clock in the evening, the reception officially began, and after the ladies had finished meeting the queen, they would sit together in groups of three or five, chatting and enjoying drinks and snacks, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to arrive.

"Sister, these women look good!" Xiao Wenyue, who was standing beside the queen, looked at the situation in the palace and whispered to her:

"I don't know how many His Majesty the Emperor will pick tonight! I'm afraid I won't take it all, right? ”

Xiao Muhan almost squirted out the tea in his mouth: "Collect it all? Are you kidding me? How many hundred people are here? ”

She stuck out her tongue in embarrassment: "It's fun!" But there are only a few people in the harem now, and it is also the right thing to bring in more people! What's more, today's royal blood is thin, and it must be changed as soon as possible! ”

"That being said, our Majesty isn't very willing!" Xiao Muhan sighed and said, "I'm afraid most of these women will be disappointed!" ”

Xiao Wenyue blinked her big clear eyes: "Isn't that better for your sister?" You were invited by those aristocratic families to persuade Your Majesty to agree to the draft, which is already enough to give them face, as for Your Majesty not chosen, it is because the women of their family are not angry, but they can't complain about others! ”

"You speak lightly!" The queen shook her head and said, "According to the practice of the previous dynasty, those families with titles above the duke level have a quota for each family!" No matter what His Majesty's attitude is, the women of these families have a chance to enter the palace! If Your Majesty doesn't like them, he can only ask those families to change their candidates, but he can't cancel those internal quotas! ”

"Moreover, out of the consideration of befriending those noble ministers, the women of some families must also be chosen! For example, the niece and granddaughter of Marshal Gurungs, the two younger sisters of Li Xingyan's family, and some other high-ranking officials' women......"

As she spoke, she picked up a list from the bookcase, opened it and examined it, and said, "No matter what, after this draft, there will always be a group of people coming in!" Those families who do not have a quota will depend on whether the women of their families can be favored by His Majesty! ”

Xiao Wenyue said thoughtfully: "Our family, there should also be a quota within it, right?" ”

"Of course, our grandmother is also the Duke of the Empire!" The queen smiled, "I mentioned it to you last time, and now you should have made up your mind, right?" If there are no objections, I'll add your name! ”

Xiao Wenyue's face sank: "Don't talk!" Who said I was going to marry him? ”

"You...... Don't want to? The queen's face couldn't help but stagnate, "Being able to marry into the royal family, this is the opportunity that many women dream of, and you don't agree?" ”

"I just don't like him as a person!" Xiao Wenyue snorted.

Xiao Muhan smiled bitterly: "Even if our majesty is not a unique figure in the world, but being able to create such a great foundation in just a few years, this is not an achievement that anyone can have, you still can't look down on it?" So what kind of man do you want to find to be satisfied? ”

"I'm just not interested in sharing him with a bunch of women!" Xiao Wenyue proudly announced, "My future man can only belong to me, he dares to find other women, no matter how good he is, I will also cut him!" ”

The queen was stunned for a long time before she said, "Sister, you may not know yet!" My grandmother had already told me about it privately, and that was what she meant, and my father had no objection. Therefore, you can't have any other choice than marrying into the royal family! ”

"What? They actually ......" Xiao Wenyue turned pale with anger, "Don't we have a woman in our family?" How did they find me? What a bastard! ”

"Forget it, sister!" Xiao Muhan sighed softly, "The decision of the head of the family cannot be changed, being able to marry such a man is already very good for you!" Besides, with my sister here, no one in this palace dares to let you be wronged! ”

Xiao Wenyue said angrily: "Okay! I can't change their decision, someone can change it! I'll tell Your Majesty to go! ”

As she spoke, her figure flashed and disappeared.

"This ...... Ay? Xiao Muhan wanted to stop her, but then changed her mind and sighed leisurely, hoping that her sister could speak tactfully, so as not to really annoy Your Majesty.

Half an hour later, His Majesty the Emperor finally arrived, and immediately the eyes of the audience converged on his position.

"Your Majesty is here!" Xiao Muhan stood up and stepped forward with a chuckle.

Yun Haoyu nodded, glanced at the situation in the hall, and asked casually, "These are the show girls to be selected, right?" ”

Xiao Muhan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, after many rounds of selection this time, a total of four hundred and sixty-one women with excellent appearance and talent have been selected, you can choose at will." ”

"Okay, I got it!" Yun Haoyu replied indifferently.

After the emperor and queen sat down again, the show girl in the hall immediately stepped forward to salute again.

From a distance, these women are indeed the only stunning beauties in ten thousand, just pull one out, their appearance, temperament, manners and demeanor are impeccable. They are uniformly dressed in pure white classical lady dresses, no powder, only show people without makeup, graceful, fat and thin, temperament or elegant and bright, or gentle and soft, or glamorous as a peach and plum, or mysterious and noble, all kinds of different styles, and so on!

Hundreds of the most outstanding beauties of the empire walked together, and the strong visual impact effect made him feel shocked even when he was used to seeing them!

No matter how many other considerations he had, he had to admit that his heart was now filled with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction!

Every normal man has a dream of a harem in his heart! Of course, there are very few who have the ability and luck to make it a reality!

Power, wealth, women, and certain other ideals, aren't these things that people pursue in their lifetime? Although it seems to be utilitarian and vulgar, it is human nature!

Now there are hundreds of such excellent women standing in front of him, looking forward to being favored by him, and it would be to say that he is not impressed! At the end of the day, he's just a man!

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that he was silent, Xiao Muhan coughed lightly and reminded:

"You can go down and have a look, get in touch with them nearby, talk to them by the way, if you fancy someone, give her this jade plate, and leave the rest to the concubine!"

As she spoke, she took a golden box, which was stacked with a box full of delicately crafted round jade plaques about half the size of a palm.

"Your Majesty, the concubine will help you take it!" Shuangyan on the side hurriedly stepped forward to take it.

"Okay!" Yun Haoyu also knew that it was a little inappropriate for him to sit like this, so he got up and walked down the jade steps.

When the women saw him coming, their beautiful eyes showed expectant eyes, as if they wanted to lean over to say hello, but they were a little afraid and hesitated to move forward.

(PS: Some people say that it's not good that the protagonist has a lot of harem, and even express understanding, but with the identity of the protagonist, how can there be no less women around him!) Of course, considering the feelings of some friends, I won't spend much ink on this aspect in the future, at most I will pass it off! ）
