Lei Dongfeng stared at the stage carefully, looking for the figures of Jiang Zhuying and others. Soon, several beautiful girls walked up the sound of silk and bamboo. The four people below the stage cheered loudly, and the girls danced gracefully. These girls were not women participating in the selection of the goddess of the Flower Dynasty, but professional singers from the Lihuafang, which belongs to the Imperial Concierge Department, specializing in celebrations and performances.

After the girls finished dancing, they bowed down, and the selection of goddesses in the Imperial Capital's Flower Festival officially began.

At this moment, the four people in the audience had already held their breath. After all, there were only 30 places to be on this stage every year in the Imperial City Flower Festival, and there were always a few amazing and intoxicating beauties among them.

In the eyes of everyone's attention, thirty girls walked up to the front stage together, and then took a few steps on the stage to give the four people below the stage a review.

According to the selection rules of the goddess of the Imperial Capital Huachao, more than half of the people will be eliminated in this round.

According to regulations, a total of 100 electoral groups of four civil representatives, officials representatives and envoys from various countries participated in the voting and selection. Among them, 25 representatives of four civil representatives, 25 representatives of officials, and 50 representatives of various countries. Each of these 100 people has one vote. For these thirty women, they can only stay on the stage after ten votes in the first round. If no one gets more than ten votes, the fifteen people with the largest number of votes will be selected before they can vote.

Of course, the votes here are beautiful garlands instead.

There is no other comparison in the first round, just comparison of appearance. This is not to judge people by appearance. If you select a talented woman, the first one to compare is definitely talent, but the goddess of the Flower Dynasty is different. After all, the word goddess represents nobility and elegance. When Taizu's wife Zhang Xiao was even more handsome with her appearance and elegant temperament, she was outstanding in the world. If her appearance was not good, it would be really hard to get the top spot.

If you have a good body, you will be the well-deserved goddess of the Flower Dynasty.

Moreover, in full view of the public, with the moral standards of the four people of the empire, the imperial officials and envoys from various countries who participated in the election and vote could not do anything. Otherwise, those who were elected against their conscience would definitely become the laughing stock of the front page of the imperial capital's public opinion in tomorrow. Those empire vassal states with ulterior motives are even more unlikely to fake it. Doing fake it like directly admitting defeat. What they have to do is to blatantly defeat the women of the empire to demonstrate the prosperity of their culture.

What's more, representatives of all countries may not be so united. Even if they want to make a falsification, they must look at the fifty votes in the hands of the empire.

With the singing of the officials of the Imperial Concierge Division, a total of 100 mermaids in charge of the selection, representatives of the people and representatives of the envoys of various vassal states came to the stage in a row, putting the garlands in their hands in the hands of the woman they liked. Naturally, someone next to them specifically recorded the number of garlands they obtained.

Soon, more than twenty women stepped down in disgrace. In the first round, only eight women won the votes, and the situation of the vote became more subtle. Among these eight women, Jiang Zhuying, Li Ruoxi and Roland, and two women from the imperial capital. The other three were three representatives of the four empire vassal states participating in the selection. Except for the woman from Annan who was eliminated because her skin was slightly dark and did not meet the aesthetics of most people, the women who ran for the Three Kingdoms entered the second round.

On one side of the stage, the representatives of the East Japanese, Goryeo and Ross on the stage all showed satisfactory smiles on their faces, while the representatives of Annan looked a little sad. Some of the male and female envoys who accompanied the Three Kingdoms and the people living in the overseas Chinese empire kept shouting and cheering.

The imperial bosses on the same viewing platform had different expressions. Zhuge Yuhua's face was plain and his eyes were always staring at the stage; Cao Ganlong was there whispering to Guan Bowen, and the two seemed to not care about the result; Tian Songren was already drowsy, with his gray head swaying constantly; Tai Shi Zheng stared at Jiang Zhuying with an ugly face, and kept staring at the upstairs by Sishui, as if looking for something; the other department heads and national congressmen were either expressionless or worried, and among them, Sima Nan's brother Sima Chong, gritted his teeth and treated several representatives of the vassal states with no expression.

It seems that this "Caiyuanzi Councillor" will be in a thrill again if he has the chance today.

"These women of these vassal states are indeed outstanding." Lei Dongfeng on the fourth floor of the restaurant beside Sishui was high and he saw everything.

Although he disdains the intentions of several vassal states, he also admits that these women are of high temperament and appearance. Even the eliminated Annan woman can be classified as a black pearl in later generations.

"Well, I heard that the Rose woman and the Goryeo woman who ran for election were both royal women in the country, and the Dongwu woman was the number one talent in their country. The people who came were not good, and the kind would not come. However, my family's Ying'er may not be worse than them, let alone I heard that Miss Li was unparalleled, and Miss Roland was afraid that she was talented, so she didn't have to worry if she didn't belong to you." Zhao Huicheng said.

"Huicheng, I asked, are you just sitting there without being invited to the Taiwan side?" Xu Huanzong suddenly said. In fact, Xu Huanzong also received an invitation from the Imperial Concierge Department at the inn last night, but he declined it. I think Chen Hanbing and others should have been invited, but they did not appear in front of the Taiwan side.

"Haha, I was invited, but I refused last night. No one except Brother Zhang Feng knew that I was here." Zhao Huicheng said lightly. A pair of green gauze was hanging on the window where they were. From outside the house, I couldn't observe anything inside, but it was easy to observe everything from inside.

I think that Tai Shi Zheng was looking around and looking around. When he saw Jiang Zhuying, he subconsciously wanted to find Zhao Huicheng. But he didn't expect that Zhao Huicheng was close at hand and was observing him upstairs.

Soon, there was no one on the stage, and everyone understood that the talent show was about to begin. According to the draw, the eight women entering the second round of the competition were divided into two groups. Roland was divided into the first group, while Jiang Zhuying and Li Ruoxi were both divided into the second group.

Du Shanghui from the Concierge Department went on stage to introduce the contestants who performed on stage. The first one to go on stage was a woman from the imperial capital. According to Du Shanghui's introduction, this is a talented woman named Dong Xiaowan, who is good at calligraphy and painting, and is quite famous among the literati in the imperial capital.

The woman had a very good appearance. After she came to the stage, she ordered people to lay a three-foot horizontal axis and lift her pen and wrist. Within a moment, she drew a picture of peony wealth. After the etiquette officials held up the landscape to show the four people below the stage, it caused a lot of praise. The picture of peony wealth was quite majestic and grand, and the pen tip was not without roundness. It was indeed a fine product and worthy of the name of a talented woman.

But Zhao Huicheng shook his head and sighed: "Although the painting is wonderful, it is too plain. Moreover, it is painted with flowers like peonies. Although it is gorgeous, it is really vulgar and difficult to attract the attention of selection. Unfortunately, Dong Xiaowan's painting skills are very good, but her mind is not suitable for such occasions."

With Zhao Huicheng's comments, Dong Xiaowan was obviously not satisfied with her swing, frowned slightly, and walked off the stage lightly.

Du Shanghui immediately came on stage and introduced the second woman to Kim Young-hee.

This Kim Young-ji is a girl from the Imperial State of Goryeo. This woman wore an imperial Confucian dress, but her head was combed into the common hanging temples of the imperial girls, looking lively but noble and elegant.

Looking at Kim Young-ji's appearance, she really thought that her skin was as creamy as her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque. She also had a bit of gentleness that a woman in the imperial world rarely had.

As soon as the Korean girl Kim Young-hee came on stage, she smiled slightly. Two colorful silks suddenly flew out of her hand, each of which was more than eight feet long. A pair of colorful silks floated up and down, like two ribbons, and even more like blooming petals surrounding the girl. The girl was like a butterfly in the ribbon, and the delicate stamens in the petals kept spinning. Amid the sound of traditional Korean waist drums, the girl danced faster and faster, and her long sleeves continued to rotate like colorful clouds. Finally, accompanied by a drum beat that rushed straight to the sky, the long sleeves rose up, slowly falling like a terrifying sphere, covering her delicate body, and stopped abruptly.

"Okay--" Even though he knew that the other party was a vassal of the Empire and might not have the intention to come this time, he still couldn't help but cheer for the girl's dance. However, it also showed the tolerance and broad mind of the four people of the Empire. The Goryeo envoys and people were even more excited and screamed strangely, calling out to Kim Young-ji.

It turns out that Kim Young-ji is indeed from the royal family of Goryeo. Although she was not born to the princess of the country, she was deeply loved by the king. Because of her appearance, she was given the princess of Hundred Flowers and was a famous beauty in Goryeo.

Kim Young-ji gave a little blessing to the four people in the audience, but her face was not necessarily lustful, but a little bit of a girlish shyness. This made the four people in the imperial world feel a little bit favorable.

Moreover, this vassal state of Goryeo does not require Ross, Dongwu, and even Annan, have always been dependent on the empire in politics, economy and even military terms, and have extremely respected Shangbang culture. The most important thing is that the other two vassal states of the empire, Ross and Dongwu, have always been in a bid to conquer Goryeo and attempted to annex the peninsula country. However, under the powerful pressure of the empire, they have never dared to act rashly.

This time, the vassal state of Goryeo came with other countries. Although it was one on the surface, it was treated differently in the eyes of some people in the empire.

Although politics belongs to politics and competition belongs to competition, since the competition has been mixed with political struggles, it is inevitable that people will be vigilant against Kim Young-hee, the Goryeo.

"This Goryeo woman is so powerful, but it's not easy to deal with." Zhang Feng, the Marquis of Yan, frowned.

"Grandpa is wrong. The woman in the country is like a fox. She is not as beautiful as our manly women. Even if she is granddaughter... I am a little more beautiful than her." ** said with a pink mouth.

"Haha, my Lin'er is beautiful, but first of all, she is not old enough, and secondly, she has such a temper, how can she get on stage? Is the talent you show about her temper?" Zhang Feng smiled while stroking his gray beard.

"Grandpa, you still said!" **'s face turned red and he refused to rely on it.

"He is good at dancing with a long sleeve, but he is a wonderful person." Lei Dongfeng said.

"Look, Miss Roland is on stage!" Old Taoist Lin Qingping pointed downstairs.
