Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

Upon arriving at Yi Youyou's room, Yi Youyou quickly opened the door for Qin Huanyu. However, just as Qin Huanyu rushed forward to hug and kiss Yi Youyou, she stopped him.

"Ayu, are you crazy?!"

While holding down Qin Huanyu's restless hand, Yi Youyou cautiously glanced left and right at the doorway:

"This is the palace! We're both candidates for princess consorts now... Your blatant approach to me is practically an insult to Princess Green, are you trying to challenge the royal authority? Although Her Highness and His Majesty probably don't care, to maintain the royal dignity, we might both be in trouble! Can't you just wait a few more days? Or should I lend you some toys?"

"...We don't need the toys."

What Yi Youyou said made perfect sense, so Qin Huanyu didn't push his luck any further. Instead, he held Yi Youyou's fiery body and took a deep breath of her scent.

"I've never liked using those things since I was little... When I'm really lonely, I usually stick them on in front of the mirror... Huh?"

"What's wrong? What mischievous idea have you come up with this time?"

Yi Youyou asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of a new way to use this treasure."

Qin Huanyu's eyes were very bright.

She suddenly realized that the Mirror of Shadows wasn't just for fighting. If she could record some of her graceful movements beforehand and then release the mirror image... wouldn't it be possible to actually be right next to herself?

'Hmm, I can try it when I get home tonight. If the method works, I can use the multi-faceted pinch-and-grab method to play with Yu-Yu in the future.'

Qin Huanyu immediately had an idea in her mind.

"It doesn't seem like a proper way to use it..."

Yi Youyou's intuition was spot on. She glanced at Qin Huanyu suspiciously, but didn't ask any further questions. Instead, with a hint of jealousy, she inquired about something else:

"By the way, Bi Chiyue spent a long time in your room this afternoon. What were you two doing? Were you having another technical exchange? Did you do anything to betray me? Hmm?"

"Of course not! We were talking about serious business!"

Qin Huanyu quickly explained, recounting the delivery of the drones and the control and distribution plan.

"...Ayu, are you going to help Bichi Yue win? Mainly to deal with Yuan Tingxue?"

After listening patiently, Yi Youyou's expression turned strange:

"What a coincidence... Master Yuan Qi and my grandmother are friends, and they are also the head and deputy head of the Treasure Pavilion. In other words, besides planning to drag you, Ayu, along to the selection of concubines, I also have another mission to help Yuan Tingxue win the competition."

"what?"

Qin Huanyu finally remembered that she and Yi Youyou were actually from different political factions... It was just that the two of them had been in close and very close contact before, and she had forgotten about it.

Nangong Yue, a genius researcher herself, is undoubtedly a member of the technological innovation faction and an ally of Qin Huanyu... That's why she prioritizes seeking help from Qin Huanyu and hopes to bring Yi Youyou to her side through Qin Huanyu as well.

Unexpectedly, Yi Youyou is quite principled. She can get away with being close to Qin Huanyu, but when it comes to the selection of the princess's consort, she must stick to the political stance of her faction and help Yuan Tingxue win.

"...So, we're opponents again this time, Youyou?"

Qin Huanyu wasn't angry about this; instead, she excitedly squeezed her legs together.

She and Yi Youyou's relationship was originally one of initial conflict, and this level of antagonism was more like a source of amusement for them.

"Hmph, I told you long ago that I would make you pay in this concubine selection competition, but I didn't expect you to only realize it now."

Yi Youyou's eyes also flickered, and her breathing quickened slightly:

"Just so you know, I won't go easy on you during the match... Don't cry if I bully you too badly~~"

"This applies to you too, Youyou!"

Qin Huanyu's buttocks swayed unconsciously a few times, her chest puffed out proudly:

"I've been training intensively at the Bureau of Investigation headquarters these past few days, and I've even built new equipment. My strength has increased significantly. You're definitely going to lose, Youyou!"

"Hmph, that's hard to say~~"

Yi Youyou also pouted:

“You’re not the only one who can improve, Ayu… I’ve been working hard these past few days, and Grandma has given me two more family heirlooms. Ayu, you’re the real challenger.”

"Shall we make a bet?"

Qin Huanyu's eyes darted around:

"If I win, Youyou, you'll have to do whatever I say for a week... If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me for a week, how about that?"

"Let's bet then, who's going to film whom?"

Yi Youyou showed no weakness, her eyes flickered slightly, and then the corners of her mouth turned up:

"If I win, Ayu, you'll have to do all the housework for a week! You'll have to style your hair in the classic 'housewife' hairstyle every day, and you can only wear pantyhose and an apron at home... Hehe, I really liked the way you looked dressed like that when you made me breakfast the other day! It's a pity you haven't wanted to since..."

"...So, Youyou, you like to play like this."

Qin Huanyu's face flushed slightly.

In fact, the two had tried even more exciting ways to play, but Qin Huanyu regarded Yi Youyou more as his wife, and this thought never changed even when she was lying still and simply enjoying herself.

Now, Yi Youyou is making her comb her hair into a married woman's style and wear a black silk apron, which gives her a strange sense of excitement and shame... It seems like she's getting even more aroused?

Yi Youyou seemed to be lost in her post-victory fantasy, her breathing becoming even more rapid.

Realizing that they would both lose control if things continued like this, Qin Huanyu quickly left and returned to her room.

If you flirt with your girlfriend but don't end up being intimate, you definitely won't be able to sleep; you'll feel a burning desire inside.

It's unclear how Yi Youyou will handle Qin Huanyu; she'll probably use toys secretly. But Qin Huanyu is already planning to try new ways to play.

She took out a fake mirror, activated it, and held it in one hand. With a seductive gesture, she slowly pulled open the straps of her halter-neck dress, while winking and blowing kisses at the mirror.

After recording a series of movements that could be described as soul-stirring and soul-stirring, Qin Huanyu activated another function of the Mirror Image – mirror image generation, which replicates the movements.

"Wow~~ This is really... amazing!"

Looking at her own beautiful and charming self, Qin Huanyu became excited. Now she could finally get a good night's sleep.

This kind of mirror image, which only involves simple movements and does not involve any spiritual elements or energy, occupies very little storage space and consumes very little energy, and can easily last all night.

...Perhaps this is the original and correct use of the illusion mirror?

Lost in her own thoughts, Qin Huanyu quickly became captivated by her own charm...

. . . . .

The next morning, after breakfast, the candidates for princess consort gathered once again in the same side hall as the day before.

The Empress and the Princess were also present, but the three Grand Secretaries were not there; instead, three rather serious-looking old women were there.

While observing the three old women trying to guess their identities, Qin Huanyu unexpectedly discovered that the three old women were looking at her strangely... with disdain and annoyance mixed together.

'I don't think I know them? Why do they have a problem with me? And judging from their appearance, they should be the examiners for today's project... This is bad.'

Qin Huanyu pondered in secret.

According to the order of the items initially announced by the royal family, the next step should be the assessment of etiquette and manners.

Qin Huanyu didn't intend to get a high score in this project, but she also didn't intend to be last. She didn't want to be seen as a rude and uncivilized woman.

The result was even worse than Qin Huanyu had anticipated.

Those three elderly women were indeed the examiners for the etiquette and manners program, but they weren't there to administer the exam; they were there to announce the results.

Yesterday, after the first project ended, all the activities of the five candidates in the palace until this morning were actually the assessment of the second project itself.

Because when it comes to etiquette and manners, it's meaningless to force people to perform fixed actions according to fixed rules within a specified time, like in an exam. Anyone can learn to repeatedly practice a few fixed actions.

Only one's daily behavior when completely unaware that the assessment has begun can truly reflect a person's manners and upbringing. Therefore, the second assessment has already started and ended.

The results announced by the three elderly women were as follows:

Yuan Tingxue ranked 1st, Wang Ruoxi ranked 2nd, Yi Youyou ranked 3rd, Nangong Yue ranked 4th, and Qin Huanyu ranked 5th.

Qin Huanyu had nothing to say about getting last place and receiving 0 points.

After all, yesterday she first provoked Yuan Tingxue, then refused to attend the palace banquet, and even wanted to get intimate with Yi Youyou at night. After returning to her room, she even used a fake mirror to relieve her loneliness... These behaviors don't seem like those of a woman with manners and upbringing. It's no wonder she came in last place.

Qin Huanyu was more curious about the first and second place winners.

In her opinion, Wang Ruoxi should be the defending champion of this project. Someone who is well-versed in classical art should not be bad in terms of etiquette, right?

She must be better than the other women who only know how to fight, slack off, and do research, so how did Yuan Tingxue get first place?

Wang Ruoxi seemed to think the same way and immediately protested, demanding that the three ladies explain the reasons for the rating.

The three old women weren't angry. Instead, they started playing a video for everyone, which mainly showed the performance of the five princess candidates yesterday.

After seeing the video, Qin Huanyu breathed a slight sigh of relief... Thankfully, at least their private behavior in the room wasn't filmed.

While the video was playing, the three grandmothers explained the scoring results, with the first explanation naturally going to Yuan Tingxue, who won first place.

After hearing the explanation, the other four women all focused their attention on Qin Huanyu... Nangong Yue was speechless at her incompetent teammate, Yi Youyou was smug, Yuan Tingxue looked like she hadn't woken up yet and had a blank expression, while Wang Ruoxi gritted her teeth.

The reason is simple: Yuan Tingxue was able to win first place in the project entirely thanks to Qin Huanyu.

Yesterday afternoon and evening, apart from Qin Huanyu, the other four women did not do anything out of line. They all attended the palace banquet and behaved impeccably.

If we had to choose, Wang Ruoxi's manners were actually better. Her exquisite classical beauty made the same movements appear more elegant when she performed them.

Unfortunately, Yuan Tingxue received an extra bonus, causing Wang Ruoxi to narrowly lose.

The source of those extra points was naturally Qin Huanyu's provocation.

Although Yuan Tingxue herself might not have thought it was a provocation, to a normal person, calling someone else's sister an idiot and claiming to have her pictures is definitely a provocation.

At least that's what the three elderly women who were the examiners thought.

Yuan Tingxue's response surprised the three old women. Not only was she not angry, but she also chatted with Qin Huanyu in a very nice manner. In the end, they even exchanged contact information and became friends!

The three old women were immediately amazed. Their ability to turn a provocateur into a friend was the true essence of winning people over with respect!

Anyway, all three old women thought so. After a brief discussion, they unanimously agreed to give Yuan Tingxue extra points, and then Yuan Tingxue surpassed Wang Ruoxi to become the first place in the project.

As for Wang Ruoxi getting second place, there's not much to explain. She just performed normally, but unfortunately, her opponent gave her points, so she narrowly lost.

The third and fourth rounds of competition between Yi Youyou and Nangong Yue are also quite interesting.

Both women were daughters of old noble families. In terms of pure etiquette, she was indeed slightly inferior to Wang Ruoxi, but the difference was not significant, and both were very excellent.

What determined their ranking was their behavior late at night.

Qin Huanyu's attempt to get intimate with Yi Youyou would have originally put Yi Youyou in a difficult position.

However, Yi Youyou firmly rejected Qin Huanyu and then stayed up reading until late at night, which ironically became a plus for her.

Nangong Yue wasn't idle last night either... She must have wanted to be the princess's consort so much that she chose to launch a night raid on the princess, or rather, offer herself up for the princess's night raid.

Although the princess didn't do anything to Nangong Yue, she just dragged her to play games for most of the night. But the act of raiding the princess at night was definitely a point deduction, so Nangong Yue lost to Yi Youyou and only got 4th place.

Both projects have now concluded, and the total scores of the five candidates are as follows:

Nangong Yue 6 points, Yuan Tingxue 5 points, Yi Youyou 4 points, Wang Ruoxi 3 points, Qin Huanyu 3 points.

After the results of the second project were announced, almost without a moment's pause, three new examiners arrived to begin the new project.

The third competition category is art, which is further divided into four sub-categories: calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, and literature.

The four sub-projects will be conducted sequentially. The five candidates will complete their work according to the examiners' requirements, and the examiners will then score them. Each sub-project is worth 10 points, and the final ranking will be based on the total score.

The specific examination rules are that there are no restrictions on the means. Whether it is calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing or literature, the five princesses can all show their unique talents. Extraordinary powers and cutting-edge technology can be used, as long as they can satisfy the three examiners.

The first small event, a calligraphy competition, began soon.

The examiners presented a poem praising the prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty, which was over 100 characters long. The five princess candidates were required to write the poem in calligraphy... It had to be handwritten by themselves, and there were no other restrictions.

Art is clearly Wang Ruoxi's forte, and she is also very confident. While others were still pondering how to begin writing, she had already submitted her paper in one go with swift strokes of her pen.

Even Qin Huanyu, who knew nothing about calligraphy, had to admit that Wang Ruoxi's calligraphy was as beautiful as she was, and very pleasing to the eye.

All three examiners praised Wang Ruoxi's work highly, and after a brief discussion, they unanimously gave it a score of 10.

"Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older generation..."

One of the examiners was so moved by Wang Ruoxi's handwriting that he couldn't help but sigh:

"This calligraphy by my niece Ruoxi is almost comparable to the masterpieces of our family's ancestors, and how old is she this year? She is destined to be remembered in history."

The others were not surprised; this was information they already knew.

Wang Ruoxi is a very famous super genius in the classical art circle, and her best skills are calligraphy and painting... It would be strange if she didn't get a perfect score.

Then, to everyone's surprise, Qin Huanyu's work was completed.

"This……"
