108 ways to die for supporting characters

Chapter 67 After the Marriage was Kidnapped 3
After the preliminary and second selections, less than 20% of the contestants remained.

Today is the day of the final election. The emperor personally sits in to select someone. This is the first time since he ascended the throne ten years ago.

In the previous few times, the Queen and the Queen Mother would decide whichever one to keep, and he didn't get involved.

There are hundreds of beauties, with five people entering in each batch. Sometimes they will perform their talents at the request of a few big bosses. In this way, the beauties with lower numbers will be at a disadvantage, because it is very likely that the emperor will not be in the mood to watch them after the selection, and those beauties will be dismissed at will.

But this time it was an accident. At the beginning, people did perform their talents, but later this step was simply skipped. The emperor only said one sentence: Give flowers, and the beauties were sent away.

Soon it was Ning Yan's turn, who was at the front of the line, to enter the hall to meet the emperor.

At just one glance, four of the five big men sitting at the top frowned, and only the emperor almost blurted out that he would grant Ruyi.

Ning Yan's beauty was too recognizable and too aggressive, which made the Empress, the Imperial Concubine and the Shufei feel a strong sense of crisis. The Queen Mother also disliked Ning Yan. Her waist was too thin and her face was too beautiful. Such a woman was a disaster and would only cause trouble if she entered the palace.

The emperor finally calmed down and spoke: "Give these people their wishes."

Queen: ...Fortunately, the emperor has left his family members behind. I hope this niece can fight for her own chance and get pregnant with the emperor’s child.

Several beautiful ladies bowed again to express their gratitude and then left the hall.

With the departure of these five beauties, the emperor's soul was also taken away. Although he did not say a word to them, he was extremely anxious because of her departure.

Until almost noon, there were still many beauties who had not entered the palace. The emperor simply waved his hand and said, "I have kept nearly ten beauties. I will not look at the rest. I will give flowers to all of them."

Queen Mother: What do you mean nearly ten beauties? There are obviously only six.

Moreover, among these six beauties, four were kept because of the fact that they were the legitimate daughters of Minister Ning.

"By the way, I think these ladies have learned the rules very well, so just keep them in the palace. The Queen Mother and the Empress will take care of their positions."

After saying this, the emperor really left.

The queen felt relieved, but then she thought of Ning Yan's face and her heart tightened again.

The current emperor is not lustful. In the ten years since he ascended the throne, there have been less than thirty women in the harem. There has been no example of any palace maid successfully climbing into bed, and he has never favored any woman alone.

The women in the harem exist to continue the emperor's family line. The queen believes that if the emperor has children, he will forget about those women.

But today, the eldest daughter of the Ning family made her feel a strong sense of crisis.

Finally, Ning Yan was conferred the title of seventh-rank Baolin.

(Grade of Daliang Palace Concubine: Super-Grade Queen.

First rank: Imperial Noble Consort has the same rank as the Vice Empress.

Second rank: Four noble and virtuous concubines

Third rank: Nine concubines (Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong, Chongyuan)
Fourth rank: Concubine

Fifth Rank: Beauty

Sixth Rank: Talented

Seventh Grade: Baolin

Eighth Rank: Imperial Concubine

Ninth grade: Cai Nv)
The other several beautiful girls were all given the title of Cai Nu.

Ning Yan laughed. The Queen was making her the target of public criticism. She was the only seventh-rank concubine among the five concubines who entered the palace together, while the others were all ninth-rank. The most important thing was that one of the five was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites!

pretty good!
Anyway, she would have to climb to the top sooner or later, so where was the end? The Queen Mother and the Empress thought that the Emperor would soon favor these newly selected beauties, but after seven days, the Emperor had not set foot in the harem.

All the concubines in the harem breathed a sigh of relief. They thought that the emperor had fallen in love with Ning Baolin, but now it seems that is not the case.

Finally, on the eighth day, Chu Chengqian started flipping the cards.

Normally, Baolin should only be taken to the emperor's bedroom to sleep with him, but the emperor personally went to the side hall of Yonghe Palace where Ning Yan was.

Chu Chengqian had few concubines, and many palaces were empty. However, the Yonghe Palace was now occupied by four concubines, including Ning Yan, and the other three were all concubines who had entered the palace this time.

It was obvious that the Queen was deliberately making things difficult for her.

As soon as the emperor arrived, these women all dressed up beautifully and saluted him.

However, Chu Chengqian was unwilling to give them even a glance. He walked past these women with the wind under his feet and went straight to the side hall to see Ning Yan.

He still remembered Taoist Wuxin's words: Just do what you like!

As long as he follows his heart, he can achieve his wish. He is only interested in this woman now. Does it mean that as long as he stays with her, she can give birth to his offspring? !

"May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."

"Get up."

The emperor walked straight in and Ning Yan hurriedly followed him in.

But she didn't expect that the emperor would be so impatient!

The emperor is not in a hurry.

Really, he is not a lustful man. Over the years, he has been forced by the empress dowager to enter the harem every day to favor those concubines. He has long been disgusted with those women.

In the past two years, he no longer favors those women in the harem, because that would make him feel that he is a lowly man serving those women. He obviously doesn't like them, so why should he force himself to sleep with them?
Those women were always driven to sleep on the bed by him, and they dared not tell anyone about it because they were afraid that the emperor would never pick their cards again.

After all, only they themselves know whether they have slept or not, but if the emperor dislikes them, one can imagine how their days in the palace will be.

So, the fact that the emperor had not slept with his concubine was kept secret.

He came here early today with the intention of talking more with Ning Yan. After all, everyone in the capital knew that Servant Ning's second daughter had snatched the eldest daughter's marriage and became Chu Rui's concubine. He wanted to ask if Ning Yan still had feelings for his cousin.

However, as soon as Ning Yan stood beside him, he smelled a particularly pleasant fragrance. When he was looked at by her charming eyes, his breathing suddenly became rapid, his cheeks became hot, and the words that came to his mouth became: "Let's go to bed."

Then, without saying a word, he put his arm around Ning Yan's shoulders and held her in his arms.

He couldn't let her watch anymore. His heart was beating so fast that he was afraid his heart would jump out if he continued watching.

Ning Yan: ... God is my witness, she did nothing.

Chu Chengqian's personal eunuch immediately waved his hand, and all the palace servants in the hall retreated.

Ning Yan listened to Chu Chengqian's pounding heartbeat and smiled. The emperor was also like this - she couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it. Innocent? It was as if he had never seen a woman before!
"emperor……"

The coquettish and angry voice made Chu Chengqian's ears numb and itchy. He couldn't help it and lowered his head to kiss Ning Yan's lips.

That feeling, warm, soft and sweet, made him addicted. It turned out that the woman he liked was different.

The two of them quickly rolled onto the bed, and as a result, Ning Yan discovered that this man only had one trick!
A quarter of an hour later, Chu Chengqian asked for water with a dark face.
