Chapter 216 World 4: The Tyrant's Beautiful Concubine (15)
When the others saw that they were not chosen, they all curled their lips in dissatisfaction.
But it was too late to say anything now, Beibo Hou had already taken the person away, and they could only say sour words.
"Humph, I'm the best singer, why didn't Father choose me?"
"Who says they aren't? They just look a little prettier, but we're not bad either."
"Really? We are obviously better than them, but they didn't choose us!"
"Well, you think this is a good job? I heard that the king is tyrannical and will chop off people if they disagree with him. Several officials have died already."
"To be with the emperor is like being with a tiger. You may be rich or lose your life in the future."
"Yes, they might anger His Majesty someday. But it has nothing to do with me."
"Yeah, let's go, let's go."
Yin Jiuli easily coaxed the sisters with a few words. After they left, he fell far behind and walked away alone when no one was paying attention.
She prides herself on being as smart as any man, and she is determined to succeed in this trip to the capital. She believes her father also needs a smart person to help the two of them come up with ideas.
Thinking of this, she quickened her pace and walked in the direction where Bei Bohou left.
Sure enough, after walking just two steps, she caught up with Bei Bohou and his two sisters. She was delighted and called out to them.
"Father, your daughter greets you!"
"Oh, Xiaojiu, why did you follow me here? Why didn't you go back to the palace to rest?"
Although Bei Bohou was a little surprised, he still valued his daughter very much, so his expression softened and he asked with some concern.
"But I have something to ask you, so why don't you wait a while."
"Father, I will accompany my sisters to the palace this time, even if I am only a maid."
Yin Jiuli did not give Beibohou a chance to get rid of her. She had to go now. Otherwise, if Beibohou handed over everything to them, she would be useless.
"Oh, come on."
Bei Bohou was indeed confused at first, but after thinking about it, he knew what Xiaojiu wanted to do. Indeed, she was smart enough and he could feel at ease with her around.
Yin Liuli and Yin Shiniang, who were following him, looked disdainful. They thought that this guy was just shameless and they didn't need someone competing with them for their favor.
However, they did not dare to refute Bei Bohou in public and could only grit their teeth in secret.
The matter was done, and the days that followed passed quickly. Bei Bohou found the best musicians and dancers in the royal court and had them practice every day.
Apart from asking them to be favored, there were no other instructions. Bei Bohou valued Lao Jiu very much and told her everything, which really made people feel dissatisfied.
"Don't be so sulky. Father only asked me to assist you. He won't compete with you for anything. Besides, even if I really want to compete, I can't win."
Yin Jiuli smiled modestly. She knew her father's plan. No matter who was elected queen, as soon as they gave birth to children, they would be given a secret potion.
Let them go to hell with the tyrant. Fortunately, I am smart. They probably don’t know now that their lives are in their own hands.
She just said a few nice words now, it didn't matter, she would deal with them later when she had the chance.
As Yin Jiuli thought so, the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Tsk, what are you looking at? I want to drink Eight Treasures Soup, and I want you to make it yourself."
Yin Liuli has always been someone who is not easy to mess with in front of her sisters. Now that Yin Jiuli has made her unhappy, she can't help but want to teach him a lesson.
However, Yin Jiuli did not have any particular resistance. He bowed obediently and walked away.
"Oh, is this still our gentle and kind Sixth Sister? Her true nature has finally been exposed. I knew you couldn't pretend for long!"
Yin Shiniang was not saying good things about Yin Jiuli, but she knew that she and Yin Jiuli were rivals, so wasn't it natural to strike the enemy?
"Stop talking nonsense, just say it if you're jealous."
"you!"
Yin Liuli was angry, but couldn't do anything. She could only snort coldly and ran away angrily to continue practicing dancing.
The two of them were fed up with each other, especially since their father said that the king would only have one queen in the future. They didn't want to be outdone and feel inferior to others in the future, so they could only work harder.
Yin Shiniang also hurried to practice dancing. She wanted to do better than Yin Liuli because she was the future queen.
……
Just like that, the March deadline had arrived, and the beauties trained in various places arrived in the capital one after another in their own carriages.
The entire capital city was no longer depressed, but became lively in an instant. The people also showed off their specialties one after another, and alleys were filled with all kinds of delicious snacks.
Several girls from the vassal states of Mobei also came out, wanting to experience the local customs and culture of the capital. They stopped at a stall that looked pretty good and picked out hairpins.
"Oh, you are so beautiful, you make my little stall look noble. I wonder where you come from?"
"Hahaha, well, you're pretty good at talking. We're from Mobei."
Yin Shiniang smiled sweetly. She was wearing gold hairpins and jade rings on her head. She came here just to kill time, but she didn't expect that the stall owner was so good at talking.
"We've got all of these for you, Xiaojiu, check out."
"Yes."
Yin Jiuli had a blank expression on his face. He dressed like a servant and nimbly took out silver from the bags.
She had been tormented by her good sisters in the past three months. Yin Jiuli had been gnashing his teeth in hatred for her, but he had to endure it.
She now hopes that they will quickly enter the palace to compete for supremacy. Once they enter the palace and meet the tyrant, she will see if they will still be arrogant.
"So it's Mobei. The vassal states of Mobei are very rich. I didn't expect that the young ladies raised there are so beautiful. Are all the girls here for the beauty pageant?"
The stall owner is an elderly man who is very dexterous and can carve hairpins. He makes a living by this craft.
Now all the goods that had been accumulated for so many days were sold out at once. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling and kept saying nice things.
"That's right. Hey, let me ask you, you have seen so many people these days, have you seen anyone more beautiful than us?"
Yin Shiniang rolled her eyes and asked with a sweet smile.
They have just arrived here and don't know what the situation is like. If you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated.
"You are asking the right question. A few days ago, there were indeed a few pretty young ladies, but compared to you, these people are nothing."
The stall owner was not lying. Yin Shiniang was indeed outstanding in appearance, and the other girl also had an extraordinary temperament. They were indeed the most beautiful he had ever seen.
"Hahahahahaha, you're really good at talking. Give me a reward."
"Thank you, girl! Thank you, girl!"
After getting a satisfactory answer, Yin Shiniang and Yin Liuli ignored the stall owner behind them and looked at each other, and saw the relief in each other's eyes.
They knew that there was probably no one prettier than them this time and they were determined to win this audition, so they smiled at each other and left with peace of mind.
