"Are you also a participating beauty?" The middle-aged eunuch's eyes widened instantly upon seeing Bai Yin'er step out of the palace.
This was because in his decades in the imperial palace, having lived through dozens of selections for consorts, he had never once seen a participating beauty dress like this.
This was hardly coming to be selected as a consort; it was like coming to beg for alms!
Furthermore, what woman under heaven did not possess a head of flowing long hair? This female's hair was actually short to just past her ears, truly bizarre.
"Yes!" Bai Yin'er lightly nodded her head.
"Why are you in such a state?" the middle-aged eunuch asked with a frown. Going to participate in the selection looking like this, it would not be good if it angered the Great Emperor.
"I have always been like this. If My Lord feels I am not qualified to participate in the selection, then simply cancel my qualification!" Bai Yin'er said flatly.
"This...!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged eunuch was taken aback, then shook his head helplessly. Where did he possess such authority.
All nominated participating beauties had to be personally perused by the Great Emperor; only the Great Emperor had the qualification to decide who stayed and who left.
"Forget it! Follow me! Each person may only bring one guard and one maidservant, the others wait here!"
The middle-aged eunuch shouted loudly. Having spoken, he turned and walked outward.
Afterward, the eleven participating beauties each brought a maidservant and a guard, following the middle-aged eunuch to leave Yuming Palace.
Of course Su Mo went as well. He was Bai Yin'er's personal guard, so he naturally followed by her side.
The crowd followed the middle-aged eunuch, walking within the massive imperial palace, pacing through grand avenues, bypassing palace after
