Shortly after that, a huge ruckus occurred at the entrance to the long street.

Helian Jiao Er turned around to look and she saw a group of guards regally marched toward her. They then systematically cleared a path in the crowd…

The honor guard of the royal family was always extravagant.

Among them, a jet black imperial chariot was the most prominent of all.

Needless to say, everyone knew who was in that carriage.

Many could not help but guess that the Third Prince and the officials were there to handpick a brilliant and charming woman from the Capital. Could it be that he had got enough with Helian Wei Wei’s hideous look? Therefore, they were here today to select a fine woman to be brought back to the palace.

For someone like the Third Prince, only a very talented and attractive woman could match with him and only then their relations.h.i.+p would last.

Helian Jiao Er was thinking about the same thing. Since they did not receive any news about the Third Prince’s return from the start, hence they were surely excited to see him in person right now.

No matter what the Third Prince did to her previously, she did not mind.

As long as she could see Helian Wei Wei suffer, she would be thrilled.

Maybe it is just as Yun Biluo has said. Although the Third Prince seems to be distancing himself from Yun Biluo, actually that is just because he is unable to let go of what had happened back then. Nevertheless, deep down, he still cares about Yun Biluo, otherwise, why would he show up at the selection of the secondary consort? He must be hoping to see Yun Biluo being selected.

As Helian Jiao Er thought of this, she glimpsed over at Yun Biluo. The latter’s eyes were slightly red and she was exchanging affectionate glances with the Third Prince who was sitting inside the imperial chariot. Seeing that, Helian Jiao Er was a.s.sured that even if she did not win the selection of the secondary consort, Yun Biluo would win. Basically, it had nothing to do with the others…

However, she did not expect that b*tch, Helian Wei Wei would be the one to get down from the chariot after Baili Jia Jue.

Shouldn’t she be hiding in the imperial palace, afraid of human contact?

Why would she be present on such an occasion?

Helian Jiao Er furrowed her thin eyebrows confusingly. Just then, she heard Eunuch Sun announcing in a high pitched voice, “Since the last contestant has arrived, I announce that the first round of the contest officially starts now!”

This… What does this mean?

Helian Jiao Er watched as Helian Wei Wei handed an unknown number to the staff in charge.

The staff responded as if he was struck by lightning!

It was an obvious sign of bewilderment!

He was likely baffled by the fact that Helian Wei Wei would be daring enough to partic.i.p.ate in the selection of the secondary consort when she was so unsightly. Was she here to be criticized?

After identifying Helian Wei Wei, a string of dark glitter darted through Yun Biluo’s gaze. Yet, her reaction was not obvious. She lowered her gaze and n.o.body knew exactly what was in her mind.

The arrival of Helian Wei Wei ignited an uproar.

Some people thought that she had always created miracles and they were burning with excitement inside.

Nevertheless, most of the onlookers still thought that it might have been better for her to stay in the palace instead of humiliating herself.

“I heard that she did not light up the crystal ball during the competency a.s.sessment in the White Academy. I’m wondering if she would be slightly more capable than before?”

“That might not be the case since she had won in the previous match. Although she really did not show martial Qi back then, it’s hard to tell this time.”

“Everyone, be quiet!” Lord Liao who was dressed in official attire stood up and gestured with his hand. “From now on, enter the small side door consecutively according to your order number to sit for the test. Those who lost shall not partic.i.p.ate in the final selection.”

This meant that in order to ensure a speedy selection of the secondary consort, a group of partic.i.p.ants would be eliminated right away. The remaining partic.i.p.ants would then partic.i.p.ate in the crystal ball evaluation in front of the audience.
