Chapter 304 The female protagonist ascends to the position of Empress Dowager through her son.
The day of the draft arrived.
Because the childbirth system was taken away, Xu Ruyi hasn't received any missions recently.
Currently, Xu Ruyi's task list only includes successfully participating in the imperial concubine selection and becoming one of the emperor's concubines.
There is also an ultimate goal.
The other stage goals have not been updated.
Although the childbirth system hasn't appeared recently, Xu Ruyi hasn't paid much attention to it.
Xu Ruyi's body has undergone many modifications.
Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were bright and her teeth were white, her figure was alluring, and she even had a natural fragrance.
Xu Ruyi herself was very fond of this body.
With such an appearance and physique, Xu Ruyi was full of confidence.
Moreover, Xu Ruyi has now replaced Xu Qingya as the old lady's beloved daughter.
Xu Qingya did not participate in this talent show.
Because Xu Qingya's innocence was ruined, she could only feign illness and be sent to another hospital.
Otherwise, these women awaiting selection would all be the emperor's future women.
Even the Emperor didn't dismiss her, yet she's lost her innocence—a matter that could cost her her head.
The Xu family has now placed all their bets on Xu Ruyi.
Xu Ruyi has now undergone a complete transformation, as if she were a completely different person.
However, Xu Ruyi's changes were gradual, and those around her only thought that Xu Ruyi hadn't fully matured before.
I started taking care of my skin, learning how to dress up, and my diet and drinking habits improved a lot.
It changed drastically.
Clothes make the man.
However, this change is something the Xu family is happy to see.
Based on these qualifications, I'm sure I'll be selected.
On the day of the imperial concubine selection, the Emperor and Empress Dowager sat in high positions.
Consort Wang sat to the side, observing the selection process.
Jiang He still claimed to be ill.
A row of young women stepped forward for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to inspect.
The Empress Dowager selected a woman from the Jiang family to join the family.
The Emperor understood the Empress Dowager and the Empress's intentions and did not refuse.
In addition, the emperor selected the imperial concubines according to his own wishes.
Consort Wang felt utterly disheartened as she watched one beautiful woman after another being chosen by the Emperor.
Unfortunately, she could only observe and had no power to make a decision.
The person chosen by the Emperor was someone Consort Wang had no right to refuse.
However, Consort Wang used her power to eliminate some of the candidates before they were even selected.
For example, deliberately revealing the emperor's incorrect preferences.
Making the wrong choice in clothing.
Incorrect choice in showcasing talents.
It was Xu Ruyi's turn to go on stage.
It attracted a lot of attention as soon as it appeared.
The Emperor looked at Xu Ruyi and his eyes lit up.
She's a real beauty, even more beautiful than the ones we chose before.
Moreover, every smile and frown of hers is incredibly captivating.
The Emperor had a very high opinion of Xu Ruyi and immediately ordered someone to keep her nameplate.
Consort Wang stared intently at Xu Ruyi.
Who is this woman?
Consort Wang had seen all the portraits of the candidates for the imperial concubine examination, and she was quite certain that she had not seen a portrait of Xu Ruyi.
If she had known about such a beauty, she would definitely have sent someone to prevent her from participating in the election today.
Even if Consort Wang was unhappy about the previous people being selected, she was confident that she could outshine them all.
But Consort Wang was afraid of Xu Ruyi.
She is younger and more beautiful than me.
Such a person entering the palace would definitely become a formidable enemy.
Moreover, such a person must never fall into the Empress's camp.
Although Consort Wang deeply resented Xu Ruyi, she still decided to bring Xu Ruyi to her side.
Although the Xu family doesn't hold high official positions, they still have ways to make use of Xu Ruyi.
The draft is over.
Ever since Xu Ruyi was selected, the Emperor has viewed everyone else as mere mortals and has not taken a liking to any of them.
Xu Ruyi was selected.
The imperial edict was quickly delivered to the Xu family.
Xu Ruyi was granted the title of a beauty.
She truly deserves this position.
Other candidates for the imperial examination also received imperial edicts one after another.
The palace governesses were sent out.
Xu Ruyi's governess was arranged by Consort Wang.
Consort Wang could already see that Xu Ruyi would definitely gain exclusive favor among the new concubines.
Moreover, this special favor will last for a long time.
Consort Wang wanted to bring Xu Ruyi to her side before Xu Ruyi entered the palace.
Jiang He knew what Consort Wang was thinking.
If Consort Wang wants to take this cancerous tumor, then let her take it.
Jiang He had already learned from the system that the attributes Xu Ruyi possessed were not permanent.
Without the support of good fortune, Xu Ruyi's appearance will gradually revert to its previous state.
Xu Ruyi's only trump card right now is that fertility pill.
Once Xu Ruyi enters the palace, Jiang He will take back the fertility pill, depriving Xu Ruyi of her support.
Xu Ruyi also knew that the Empress and Consort Wang were currently engaged in a fierce power struggle in the harem.
If Xu Ruyi wants to climb to the position of Empress Dowager, she will definitely have to clash with the Empress.
Joining Consort Wang's camp is the best choice.
Xu Ruyi wasn't very clever, but she knew that it was good to have powerful backers.
Xu Ruyi accepted the olive branch offered by Consort Wang.
In order to keep Xu Ruyi under her watchful eye, Consort Wang arranged for Xu Ruyi to have a palace next to hers when arranging the palace for her.
The people in Xu Ruyi's palace were all carefully arranged by Xu Ruyi.
She needs to monitor Xu Ruyi's every move to feel at ease.
Xu Ruyi felt that this was a special treatment from Consort Wang, and she was very grateful to Consort Wang.
After the newlyweds settled in, everyone went to Kunning Palace to pay their respects to the Empress.
The Empress looked at Xu Ruyi.
She kept that fertility pill on her person, firmly holding onto this trump card.
"A fertility pill used to absorb dragon energy. Buyback price."
This fertility pill is quite valuable.
Moreover, the prefix "fertility pill" used to absorb dragon energy is quite special.
"Host, the goal of the procreation system is to absorb dragon and phoenix energy."
Therefore, this fertility pill was meant to allow Xu Ruyi to absorb the emperor's dragon energy when she served him in bed.
Moreover, the child in her womb was also formed from dragon energy.
It's the nourishment the reproductive system prepares for itself.
"It's better not to keep things like this."
Jiang He retrieved the fertility pill.
Kunning Palace was very quiet; no one spoke.
Xu Ruyi knelt below, very nervous.
Is the Empress trying to intimidate these newcomers, which is why she made them kneel for so long?
Xu Ruyi glanced at the others out of the corner of her eye; each one of them remained as steady as a rock.
Xu Ruyi felt her legs trembling. Her knees were also very sore from kneeling.
Because her body had been modified, it had exceptionally smooth and delicate skin, making it extremely sensitive.
Kneeling for a while must have made it red and swollen again.
Oh no, it's going to collapse.
Just as Xu Ruyi was about to stumble and embarrass herself, Jiang He relented and told them to rise.
Xu Ruyi stood up with difficulty.
Because she was standing at the front, any small movement Xu Ruyi made would be caught, so she could only try her best to endure it.
The palace maid said that the Empress would make things difficult for her on the first day, and told her to be prepared. She was right.
This Empress is far too intolerant of people.
Xu Ruyi muttered to herself, cursing the Empress.
