Chapter 55 - Natural Enemies

Luo Ziyan didn't really care to clean up today. Wearing an old blue brocade jacket, which was woven from silver, the shallow and deep lines were even more exquisite.

His dexterous hair intertwined and twisted in a bun, hanging from the top of his head, making him appear even more misty. At his temples were five hairpins inlaid with gold and red gems.

"Little sister, you really like to tease big sister. Once you enter the palace, be careful that the emperor might fall in love with your sharp tongue." Luo Ziyan lowered her feather-like eyelashes and teased.

"Big sister is so bad." Qin Luofei angrily scratched at Luo Ziyan's itch, shocking him so much that he hid behind Qin Luoyu, teaching her not to do anything.

"Sister Qin is so beautiful, I feel sorry for her!" Although Luo Ziyan did not like Qin Luoyu's personality, he was convinced of her beauty. It was no wonder that she was an outstanding beauty of the Yan State. Few of the women present could compare to her.

Even though he wasn't too happy about it, he had no choice but to respond to a few pleasantries. After entering the palace in the future, he would still have to get along with the other party.

"Sister, you're also so beautiful." It was rare for Qin Luoyu to be willing to praise someone.

"Sister, I wish Sister Mony the Holy Pet." Luo Ziyan's appearance was cute and obedient, her words were soothing to the ear, causing Qin Luoyu to have a good impression of her, and she was much stronger than her little sister.

"Sister, you're joking. Although sister has a bit of beauty, but the other women have many other beauties." Qin Luoyu's lips curved up into a faint arrogant smile. He was obviously an arrogant, beautiful woman, but his words were actually humble and modest.

How could Luo Ziyan not understand this logic, she just did not point it out.

Luo Ziyan secretly thought: This guy is still too hypocritical, we can't get to know each other too much.

Just as Luo Ziyan was about to turn her head and chat with Qin Luofei, she saw a carriage stop beside the three of them.

The three of them saw that the carriage was covered by a curtain, and beside the carriage were two expensive lanterns made out of glazed glass. The servant in charge of driving the carriage was also dressed extravagantly, so they left him alone. He saw two accompanying maid s lift up the carriage curtain and from inside, they helped out a beautiful and delicate woman.

Her eyes were like deep spring water, and she was indescribably charming and beautiful. Her face was like a goose egg, and when matched with her pair of soul-stirring eyes, she was extremely beautiful.

The beauty twirled the embroidered cloth and her pair of watery eyes looked around with interest. She first swept a glance over the crowd and then got down from the carriage.

This girl was extremely unfamiliar, to think that he had never seen her at a gathering of young mistresses.

The lady wore an ancient golden brocade robe and was wrapped with jade brocade candied fruits. The dress train was detailed with fine silver threads and was embroidered with rainbow clouds. It was exquisite and beautiful, making the lady's face look even more beautiful.

"What a great score." Qin Luoyu frowned, a trace of resentment passing through his eyes.

Beauty and beauty seemed to be natural enemies.

Qin Luofei was somewhat curious.

This girl was from a different family. She was shrewd and capable of keeping her composure. She was so beautiful that she refused to let anyone else know about it. She was truly a good person.

Seeing that Qin Luoyu disliked this girl, Luo Ziyan could not help but ask: "Big sister, this woman is really beautiful, I wonder whose daughter she is, how come I have never seen her before?"

Qin Luoyu's mouth formed the outline of a mocking smile, and seeing that the woman in front of him had an appearance that was not inferior to his own, and that she was already feeling uncomfortable, and that the woman was so pretentious and late, he was even more unhappy, and snorted coldly: "Who else? Prime Minister Du's granddaughter, Du Qingcheng. "

Qin Luofei had guessed long ago that this woman might be Du Qingcheng, who was as famous as Qin Luoyu. Her beauty was indeed not inferior to Qin Luoyu's, and from the looks of it, her temperament and aura was even higher than Qin Luoyu's.

As expected, the Du Clan was a noble clan, and naturally, it was different from the others.

"I heard that she is the empress dowager's niece, the younger cousin of the emperor sent out by Princess Nanyang." Qin Luofei lightly bit her red lips as she played with the brocade handkerchief in her hand. A faint, playful smile flashed through her eyes.

"So what? Even the Emperor might not pamper her." Qin Luoyu shot a cold glance at the man and said disdainfully.

Du Qingcheng vaguely heard Qin Luoyu's cold snort, his clear eyes moved slightly, and with a smile, he brought the two girls who were closest to his, Jin Lan and Jin Mei, and walked towards the two of them.

Along the way, the other women s all made way for her.

This year's women had many illustrious families, but there were very few proud girls like Du Qingcheng.

Who didn't know that there was only one Princess Nan Yang in the Old Empress Dowager? Adding to the fact that Du Qingcheng was the current empress dowager's family, even an average noble king's family would not be able to compare to him.

Half of the women present, Qin Luofei, had met them before at the reunion, and a few of them were daughters of foreign ministers. They had never met before, but looking at their clothes, it seemed like their family background was not bad.

Seeing that Du Qingcheng was actually walking towards them, both Luo Ziyan and Qin Luofei laughed secretly in their hearts. They were not convinced by the Qin Family's Second Miss. Thinking about this, Luo Ziyan and Qin Luofei retreated slightly as they went to strike up a conversation with the other women s.

Who would have thought that Du Qingcheng would actually skim past Qin Luoyu and Qin Luofei and said, "You must be Little Sister Qin Luoyu!" His indifferent tone gave off a luxurious aura.

Qin Luoyu looked at Du Qingcheng in astonishment. She wasn't here to look for him, but was instead looking for that silly little sister. It was clear that her little sister didn't know who Du Qingcheng was.

Qin Luofei was also slightly surprised, why would Du Qingcheng want to chat with his.

Du Qingcheng stepped forward, and the jade ring on his waist released a light clanging sound, crisp and cold. She took Qin Luofei's hand, pursed his lips, and said, "I've always wanted to meet my sister. It's truly a pity that I only got to see her today."

"I've also long heard of my elder sister's great reputation as the number one beauty. Seeing her fall from grace today, I feel pity." Qin Luofei's words were not soft, but it made all the surrounding women hear it.

It was only now that the few girls who were interested in Du Qingcheng finally understood that this girl was the same famous beauty as the Qin family's Second Miss, the empress dowager's niece, Prime Minister Du's daughter Du Qingcheng.

This girl was very intelligent, and she immediately understood the thoughts of the surrounding people. However, she was also very proud, so how could she place everyone in her eyes? The corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile, like a poppy. He said, "Little sister, you're joking. Big sister only grew a skin like that. She's no smarter and more likeable than you."

Qin Luofei wasn't someone who knew how to talk, and inexplicably got pestered by someone. She bit her lower lip and said lightly: "Big sister is so funny, little sister is just a fool."

Du Qingcheng's gaze also slightly sized up Qin Luofei. Even though she wasn't such a devastatingly beautiful beauty, his face was still that kind of oval face that made people like his, and her skin was also so tender and lustrous, as if it could be squeezed out of water.

She should be a smart woman who knows her strengths. She wasn't suitable for her gorgeous makeup. Her hair was tied into a spiral, thin and dexterous. On the hairpin were five hairpins inlaid with pearls the size of fingers.

He was dressed like a noble, yet refined person.

Although her face was slightly inferior to Qin Luoyu, but looking at her imposing manner, Du Qingcheng knew that it was not difficult for her to be chosen to be one of the harem. Besides, the empress dowager and emperor both ordered her to enter the palace. This was a rare and intelligent woman.

The empress dowager loved women who were tactful and tactful. A girl like Qin Luofei just so happened to enter the empress dowager's eyes.

It was no wonder that his mother wanted him to rope her in. She needed an intelligent helper in the harem. The most important thing was that Qin Luofei's mother's family was related to the Du Family. It was a family.

His cousin was always fond of Imperial Consort Leng, and refused to listen to even his grandmother's words. Although she was conceited and beautiful, Imperial Consort Leng was also not someone to be trifled with. In her heart, she truly did not have much confidence. In the palace, she really needed a good helper.

Although Qin Luoyu was beautiful, she looked down on his. Thinking about who the Imperial Consort Leng was, how could she possibly win against him? He had to be even more careful, so as to not follow in the footsteps of the Empress Leng.

"Little sister, let's get closer at the palace." Du Qingcheng had become entangled with Qin Luofei.

Qin Luofei only lightly dealt with it. Seeing Du Qingcheng's actions, it seemed that he was not a weak person, and was treating his well like this, he must have some kind of plan. How could he be willing to take advantage of him?

"It's here, it's here." No one knew who shouted, but all they saw was the door of room 981 being pushed open by four guards in silver armor. From the palace walked out an elderly eunuch in crimson palace dress, four wet nurse, and ten beautiful palace maids.

The ten maid s lined up in a row, with two old wet nurses standing on each side. The old eunuch walked to the women with a respectful face, and said, "Everyone, it's time to enter the palace."

All of the women s were stunned, some had happiness while others had worry on their faces.

"Miss." Daffodil Daydream looked at her young mistress eagerly. At this moment, she felt as if they were parting for life.

Qin Luofei held Caihua's hand and said in a low voice, "Wait for me there with Zi Yuan. Once I get selected, I will naturally send someone to bring the two of you into the palace. "

Sunflower nodded her head, but Zi Yuan stood at the side with an indifferent face.

"Zi Yuan, don't tell me you don't miss you?" As she sobbed, she raised her head and looked at Zi Yuan.

Zi Yuan helplessly looked at Dazzling Spring and lightly said: "You must believe in xiaojie; she will definitely be chosen. We will be able to see xiaojie very soon."

women lined up in two rows and followed the old eunuch into the palace. The ten palace maids stood by his side to accompany him.

Qin Luofei and Luo Ziyan were standing in the middle, so Du Qingcheng was naturally in first place.

This arrangement is based on the rank of father and brother.

Everyone looked at the towering palace walls and thought that once they entered, they would never see their parents again. Their hearts were filled with sadness and a few of their eyes were slightly red.

This was the first time that the women had entered the palace. Not a single one of them didn't look around curiously as the palace maids beside them reminded them in a low voice that it was impossible to surpass the rules.

The palace was different from the outside as expected. The palace walls were towering, towering into the clouds. The palace railings were white like jade, and the golden eaves were overhanging the walls. All of them displayed the imperial grandeur and security.

The palace maids for the talent show would be arranged in the lum pavilion on the inside of the imperial garden, waiting for the internal selection on the second day.

All of the women s felt their legs go numb when they walked. Only then did they see the eastern gate of the imperial garden, and entered the imperial garden. The eyes of all the women s were filled with even more surprise. They were all born into great families and were used to seeing splendor, but they were all stunned by the scenery of the imperial garden.

This imperial garden was filled with strange, rugged, and strange flowers. There were many small pavilions, as well as a mountain of stones. On the mountain, there was an exquisite and unique spiked pavilion, not to mention the rare flower varieties that filled the imperial garden.
