Chapter 677: Choosing a Concubine
Mu Youluo stayed in the Spirit Double Ring for three months, and three days passed in the outside world, she refined a lot of pills, and after the Spirit Double Ring, she sent people to send the pills to the Ghost Pavilion in various cities.
Today is the day when Ling Qin chooses a concubine, she went directly to General Mu, and the two entered the palace together.
The palace maid of Ningshou Palace was already waiting in the palace gate, she followed the palace maid to Ningshou Palace, and then changed her appearance, waiting for Ling Qin to come over, and went to Chuxiu Palace together, and naturally there was the queen mother.
Mu Youluo pretended to be a eunuch, followed behind Ling Qin, after entering the Chuxiu Palace, he and the Queen Mother were in a high position, and with the summons of the palace maids, the show girls who came to the draft entered the hall in turn.
The oldest is ten years old, and the youngest is only five years old, looking at these children, Mu Youluo sighed in his heart, at this age, he should be carefree, but because of the selfishness of the elders, he is going to this palace and become a canary in a cage.
Once they are selected and enter the palace, they are destined to live a carefree life in their lives.
At the top of the list, they are all daughters or granddaughters of second-rank officials, and those in the second row are third-rank officials, and so on.
The people in this draft are all family members of officials above the fourth grade, so the number is not too many, a total of nineteen people.
Because Mu Youluo said the conditions for choosing a concubine, when choosing, there will be a competition, first of all, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and then a spiritual power test and a martial arts test.
Qinqi, calligraphy and painting are not difficult for these high-ranking officials and nobles, but they are still too young and their skills are limited, so nine people were eliminated in this round, and these nine people were relatively young, and the rest were eight to ten years old.
In the second round, the test of spiritual power is compared, and the person who conducts the spiritual power test must be above the second level of the spirit.
Ling Qin ordered people to prepare test balls, and the remaining ten people will come over one by one to test, as long as the level is at the second level of the spirit and above, they will enter the next round.
"Sister Zhou, your grandfather is a general, and you have been talented since you were a child, you will definitely be able to pass this test."
"That's right! Sister Zhou, you will definitely be able to enter the palace and become the emperor's concubine. ”
"This is certain, at my age, the spiritual power level has reached the fourth level of the spirit, and it is inevitable to enter the palace, but you should work hard."
"No matter how hard we try, we won't go to my sister!"
"If my sister enters the palace, don't forget us in the future."
……
Mu Youluo's spiritual power level is high, and his hearing is naturally better than others, hearing their conversation, he was a little speechless, at this young age, he learned to compliment, and some did not know how to be modest, he was sharp at the beginning, it was easy to expose his shortcomings, and in the palace in the future, it was easy to become a thorn in the side of others.
This Miss Zhou, obviously, is General Zhou's little granddaughter, and she is most loved by him in the Zhou family.
Soon, the test began, everyone lined up in turn, the first to test, naturally, was Zhou Yan'er, and sure enough, when she put her hand up, the test ball glowed, and the words of the fourth level of the spirit were displayed above.
The light of the test ball dissipated, she smiled and withdrew her hand from it, and walked to the side, Next, it was the daughter of the new prime minister, Zuo Xiaoyun, she is eight years old this year, and her spiritual power level has reached the third level of the spirit, and she has also passed.
Next, there is Shang Shuling's daughter, Wu Wenhui, she is also ten years old this year, and she is a third-level spirit.
……
Soon, everyone was tested, and seven of them entered the final round, and the remaining five were eliminated.
Of the fourth-level spirits, only Zhou Ruotong is the only one, there are three third-level spirits, and the remaining three are also second-level spirits.
Next, there is the competition, in the process of the competition, the swords used by everyone are wooden swords, in order to prevent accidents, it is required to point to the end, during this period, no spiritual power is allowed, which is also proposed by Mu Youluo.
For this, the seven people were a little unhappy, themselves, the Quanhai Continent used spiritual power, for pure force, they were not very good at it, and they were not used to it.
Because when they cultivate, the swords they swing are all with spiritual power, so that they can achieve the purpose of hurting people or even killing people, but this time they are not allowed to use spiritual power, which really makes them uncomfortable.
However, they can't say no, after all, in this palace, they are not the masters.
The order of the competition, the lottery is decided, this time the selection of concubines, Mu Youluo means that four people will be selected, so the four winners will enter the palace directly.
The first scene is Hong Xiuyu, the daughter of Wu Wenhui and Hong Taifu, Hong Xiuyu is nine years old, the second level of the spirit, she was born in a scholarly family, and she is naturally not good at martial arts, and she was defeated in a few moves.
In the second game, Zuo Xiaoyun vs. Feng Zhuguo's granddaughter, Feng Jingyi, the two were on par in strength, and in the end, it was a draw.
In the third game, Zhou Ruotong fought against Tobe Shirou's daughter, Cui Duoer, in terms of spiritual power, this Cui Duoer is not as good as Zhou Ruotong, but in terms of force, her moves are very sharp, and at a glance, Zhou Ruotong actually fell behind.
Cui Duoer's move was fatal, and she looked like she was going to put Zhou Ruotong to death, and in the face of her attack, Zhou Ruotong had no power to fight back, so she could only dodge all the time.
Looking at Cui Duoer, Mu Youluo narrowed her eyes, and then, she quietly shot out a silver needle, interrupting the competition between the two.
This game can be regarded as a draw.
Next, in the fourth, this one, one girl abstained, so there were five people left on the field.
For this one, Mu Youluo's idea is to let everyone play together, whoever falls off the ring first, and the rest of the people win.
At the beginning of the game, the five people were wary of each other, and after a while, they began to fight, and in the end, Hong Xiuyu was defeated and the competition ended.
