Bai Lingyu pursed her lips, took a sip of tea and put it down.

"Eldest Miss doesn't seem to be too willing to see me? Could it be that I offended you in some way and made you unhappy? "

Instead of answering directly, Bai Linyu was actually very curious about Hua Mujiao's attitude.

"Your Highness is too serious, how could I dare to give Your Highness face?" If you are not happy, my life will probably be easier than crushing an ant. "

In the beginning, Hua Mu Jin didn't have a good impression of Bai Ling Yu.

However, she had always felt that although this man was shrewd, he could still be considered gentle and refined. Today, when he viciously attacked the old granny, he had once again changed her opinion of him.

At the very least, she knew that this man was a vicious and merciless person.

"It seems that First Miss has misunderstood me. You and I are in a cooperative relationship, so how could I possibly harm your heart?" The reason why I came here today was to tell you about the selection of beautiful women. "

It was obvious that Hua Mujie was getting more and more wary of him. Although Bai Linyu felt somewhat helpless, she did not explain any further.

Seeing the man with the faint smile, Hua Mujiao did not respond.

After which, Bai Linyu spoke out.

"This year's number of beautiful women is not many. There are only around twenty or so people. Of course, all the pretty girls were Miss Shangguan. "You should know that the selection process for the pretty girls of Huan Yue Country is different from that of other countries. Every single one of them has strict requirements, and only those who meet all the requirements are qualified to enter the harem."

As he spoke, Bai Linyu paused, took a sip of tea, and continued speaking while looking at Hua Mujiao's expression.

"During the selection process, you will be tested with the zither, chess, calligraphy, poems and songs. Of course, you don't have to know all of them. I don't think it will be difficult for you, Miss. But there is one thing you must take note of, and that is that this year the person who advocated the selection of beautiful women was the Empress Dowager, who was also my mother's consort. "

After listening to Bai Linyu's explanation, Hua Mujiao's expression didn't change at all.

After a long while, when Bai Linyu did not speak again, she asked, "Is there nothing else?"

Nodding and answering.

"Gone!"

Their four eyes met, and Hua Mujiao's gaze was firm. After a long while, he asked.

"I am very curious about one thing. Since ancient times, it has always been said that a woman's lack of talent is one's virtue. But why did the beautiful lady have to know the art of zither, calligraphy, poetry, and poetry? Is there some conflict? "

This matter had always been one that Hua Mu Jin cared about.

Bai Lingyu laughed softly when she heard this. She stood up and looked into the distance.

"Women know how to work in the zither, play, calligraphy, and painting. Poetry and poetry do not necessarily mean that they are talented. Which official's girl nowadays doesn't know how to use a single skill? However, the talents of the harem women are only used to win the favor of the emperor. To put it bluntly, they are just a method for them to fight for the favor. "

Bai Linyu's answer was direct and direct, causing Hua Mujiao to furrow her brows.

For some reason, she was actually unwilling.

"I'm a bit tired. If Your Highness is fine, then please return early. I won't send you off."

With that, Hua Mujiao stood up, preparing to leave for her own room.

Seeing her cold attitude, the corner of Bai Ling Yu's mouth rose. He didn't know when, but a small bead appeared in his hand. With a delicate flick, the bead flew towards Hua Mu Jin and ruthlessly hit her leg.

"Ah …"

Unable to bear the pain anymore, she screamed out, then lost her balance and fell backwards.

Just as her head was about to hit the chair, Bai Linyu's figure flashed forward, tightly hugging her waist.

Staring angrily at the man that was hugging her tightly with a light smile, Hua Mu Jin was so angry that she couldn't control herself as she questioned him.

"What do you mean?"

Upon hearing these words, Bai Lingyu's smile grew even wider. But at this moment, his smile revealed a hint of craftiness, he didn't try to conceal it.

"A few days ago, this king passed through an alleyway on the way to Yue Lao's meeting and saw someone doing something indecent. When I saw Eldest Miss today, I wanted to have a taste of her sweetness. I was only afraid that Eldest Miss would disagree, so I came up with this plan. "

Bai Linyu's words caused Hua Mujiao to panic.

She twisted her body in an attempt to break free from his embrace, but the pain from her leg coupled with her own strength was much smaller than that of a man. She was unable to move at all.

Moreover, she could clearly feel that she was a little weak right now.

"Bai Lingyu, let me go!"
