Chapter 183.1

The dukes are no fools, so they know this is a tremendous opportunity. Thats why they select the eligible woman from their own side to participate in the selection of consorts.

If their daughter is chosen, they will rise to great heights!

At the very least, they will have a better life in Great Xia.

Great Yue Emperor is full of confidence in his own daughter.

He has observed that in the entire capital city, there are few women who can compare to his daughter.

The probability of his daughter being selected is almost one hundred percent.

It can be said that as long as the Emperor is not blind, he will definitely choose his daughter to enter the palace as a consort.

Great Zhu Emperor and Great Shi Emperor can only envy him for his precious daughter.

Their daughters are not bad, but they still fall short compared to the Great Yue Emperors daughter.

Whether they will be chosen is still an unknown.

However, considering they all belong to the same Great Kingdom camp, they will benefit from the reflected glory if the others daughter is chosen.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

Duke of Yue, this time, its all on you for the emperors consort selection!

Great Shi Emperor said with a compliment, Among all the candidates, your daughter is the most beautiful and the most knowledgable. She will surely be chosen by His Majesty! Once your daughter enters the palace as a consort, she will certainly be able to curb their arrogance!

Yes, Duke of Yue, were really counting on you this time!

Great Zhu Emperor also said with a compliment, If you rise to prominence, dont forget us two brothers!

Great Yue Emperor laughed heartily, Thank you both! If Yinger is selected, I will certainly not forget you two! Come on, I heard that Huangs Restaurant has just opened. Their food and wine are excellent and often in short supply! Ill treat you tonight. We wont return until were drunk!

Great! Tonight, well take advantage of Duke of Yues generosity!

This way, please, gentlemen!

The three emperors headed to Huangs Restaurant in high spirits.

The emperors of the small kingdom alliance, however, began to worry.

Duke of Mo got straight to the point, Brothers, theres trouble! You all know about the Emperors consort selection, right?

Of course, we know. I was even thinking of letting my daughter participate!

If she is chosen by His Majesty, your life will be so much better!

Ive sent both my daughters!

The three emperors nodded in agreement.

The problem lies here!

Duke of Mo said with a worried face, We can send people to participate in the consort selection, but so can the three dukes of the great kingdom alliance!

Ive seen Duke of Yues daughter. Her name is Yueying, and she is truly a beauty that could sink fish and alight geese, a heavenly beauty. Moreover, she is well-read and accomplished in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting! Once she participates in the selection, she will surely catch His Majestys eye! Then, with her fathers status rising through her, that old fellow will surely soar high and trample over us! It will be difficult for us to turn the tables then!

The other three nodded in agreement.

Yes, Ive seen his daughter too. Shes indeed very beautiful, surely the Emperor will take a liking to her!

By then, that old guy will soar too! Knowing him as I do, he definitely wont let this opportunity slip by. Hell strut around in front of us, acting all high and mighty!

Just thinking about it leaves a bad taste in my mouth!

The Emperor of Great Yue was ecstatic!

His daughter lived up to expectations and was finally selected to enter the palace as a consort!

Their familys days became much better!

Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! Great Yue Emperor exclaimed loudly as if declaring to the whole world.

The other two great kingdom Emperors were also happy and overjoyed.

However, the four Emperors of the small kingdom alliance looked gloomy and displeased.

Whats there to be proud of? Youve only won a round!

We will catch up soon!

Following that, Lin Beifan continued the selection of consorts.

But there werent many who made a lasting impression on Lin Beifan. Apart from Great Yue Emperors daughter Yueying, there was only An Kingdom Emperors daughter An Xin!

Unfortunately, though An Xin was very beautiful, she was mute and also extremely socially anxious.

She avoided Lin Beifans gaze, clearly unwilling and afraid.

Therefore, Lin Beifan did not trouble her.

So, after one round of selection, only Yueying satisfied him.

However, the civil and military officials were not quite satisfied.

Your Majesty, how can you select only one person?

You need more! Your Majesty, look, which Emperor doesnt have a palace filled with consorts? So far, you only have two consorts, which is really not enough! Without enough consorts, you cannot produce enough heirs!

Please, Your Majesty, choose a few more beauties, the nation needs successors!

Lin Beifan smiled slightly: My ministers, this is enough! Among the vast waters, I only desire a single ladle!

Great Yue Emperor applauded: Your Majesty, Good judgment! ()

(TLN: I think he misspoke. He actually didnt say Good Judgment (, ping de hao) here. Instead, he said (, piao de hao), which could mean well played in seeking pleasures, referring to acts of seeking out prostitutes (). cmiiw)

Lin Beifan:

Seeing Lin Beifans expressionless face, Great Yue Emperor panicked: Your Majesty, thats not what I meant! What I mean is, Your Majesty, you are a man of loyalty, surrounded by flowers, yet you choose only one, which is very admirable!

Alright, no need to explain, Im in a good mood, so I wont hold it against you!

Lin Beifan waved his hand and smiled at the woman in yellow beside him: Yueying, from today on, I confer upon you the title of Consort Yue, and you shall enter the palace on a chosen day!

Yes, Your Majesty! Yueying was overjoyed.

However, the civil and military officials still did not let Lin Beifan off the hook, insisting he chooses a few more.
