“That is your problem, Empress .   It has nothing to do with zhen .   Zhen only wants to see the result .   You better start thinking of ways to get yourself out of this,” after saying that, he glares at her for good measure before turning around and storming out .

“Hey, Your Majesty!  Don’t go!” calls Mo Qi Qi .   Jun Qian Che does not even turn around and soon disappears from her sight .

Mo Qi Qi looks at the scrolls on the table forlornly, “Wuwuwu, you really likes bullying me, Jun Qian Che!”  She already released the order to the residences of the n.o.bles, how could she suddenly take it back now?  Wouldn’t that offend the n.o.bles?  On the other hand, she cannot afford to take Jun Qian Che’s words lightly either .   Ah, you are so cruel, Jun Qian Che~ .

In the end, Mo Qi Qi sends messengers to the residences of the n.o.bilities in the dead of the night, canceling the selection .

The n.o.ble young misses who are already prepared to enter the palace are heart-broken beyond words .   And their fathers, who have been planning to climb a higher branch through their daughters, could only sigh while shaking their heads, quietly resenting the Empress .

Although many of the officials are unhappy with the Empress for the sudden cancelation, none dares to voice their complaints out of respect for her position and to Mo Clan .

The news of the cancelation spreads inside the palace as well .   The concubines are all murmuring to each other, “I knew she isn’t that generous!”

“I think this is just a plot from the Empress .   She wanted to see which eligible young maidens have secret intentions towards His Majesty .   And then, she will quietly pluck one by one out . ”

“I think you’re actually right!  The Empress is famous for her jealousy!”

“Hahaha—-“ their palaces are filled with laughter and gossips .   The cancelation of the selection is a good thing for them, after all .

Although the selection itself has been canceled, Mo Qi Qi’s plan to find a diverting beauty for Jun Qian Che has not .   Since Jun Qian Che cares about the ancestral rules, she will pick the beauties from other places .

Although there is a time limit for the official nation-wide selection, it is still possible to take in any beauty from outside and privately confer them a t.i.tle if they suit the Emperor’s taste .    And so, Mo Qi Qi sends her people to test the waters outside the palace .   She orders them to bring in any famous beauty, which she will then place next to Jun Qian Che .   She does not believe he will not be moved .

Jun Qian Che is reading a book under the lantern when he sees a small eunuch leading a thinly dressed woman in .

When the beauty sees Jun Qian Che, the smile on her face deepens .   She stares at him like a fool; she’s heard rumors of how handsome the Emperor is .   However, she is just a common girl .   Never in her life had she expected to catch his eye and to be especially picked to enter the palace to serve him .   Her heart thumps loudly .   She gets shy when she sees his handsome face .   Her face is pink now .   She can die with no regret tomorrow, if she gets to serve this man in bed tonight .

Jun Qian Che frowns unhappily .   How could a random woman simply enter his chamber?

The eunuch respectfully steps forward, “Your Majesty, this servant is following the Empress’ order to send this beauty over, to serve you for the night . ”

When Jun Qian Che heard Mo Qi Qi’s intention, he is so angry that he almost dropped his book .   “Get lost,” he says coldly .

The beauty immediately lowers her head in fear .

The eunuch gathers his courage to say, “Your Majesty, the Empress said that you have been working too hard .  This servant needs to make sure that this beauty serves Your Majesty well to help Your Majesty relax . ”  He pulls the maiden over by the sleeve and sends her a look .

As for the maiden, although she is scared of Jun Qian Che, she feels like she can die without regret if she gets to serve him .   And so, she gathers her courage to approach him and speaks with a gentle voice, “Your Majesty, please let this commoner help you rest . ”
