Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

The beauty pageant took a whole year from preparation to completion.

During this period, not only the brothel girls in the capital, but also the brothel girls in other cities came to sign up after hearing about the competition.

The beauties from Jiangnan went to the capital in groups, and their lovers even chartered a fleet of hundreds of large ships sailing north.

The government officials were so frightened that they thought there was a riot in Jiangnan.

All in all, the event was so grand that in the end, the emperor even came in person to serve as a judge for the final competition.

Bai Mudan did not become the top scholar, but only ranked third.

She was very unconvinced and didn't think she was worse than the previous two.

But why, are those two more popular with men?

Just because they look more fragile and deserve more care from men?
When Lu Dongbin went to see Bai Mudan, she was still struggling with this problem.

Because Lu Dongbin was one of the judges, Bai Mudan met him and wanted to know from him why her score was not as good as the other two.

Lu Dongbin: "Well, it's a matter of personal preference. Actually, I think you, Miss Peony, are better."

Bai Mudan gave Lu Dongbin a look that said he had good taste, and then frowned her beautiful eyebrows.

"It would be great if the judges had the same vision as you."

Lü Dongbin said, "I have a way to make you surpass the top two and become the most beautiful woman recognized by everyone."

Bai Mudan asked hurriedly: "What method?"

Lü Dongbin smiled: "Become an immortal!"

Lü Dongbin: "If you become a fairy, mortals will worship fairies and naturally push you to the position of the most beautiful woman."

Bai Mudan rolled her eyes: "Are you kidding me? How can a prostitute like me become an immortal? Will an immortal be attracted to me?"

Lu Dongbin smiled and restored his true form in front of Bai Mudan.

There was a flash of white light, and the young man in front of him turned into a Taoist priest with an immortal look.

Bai Mudan opened her mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.

According to legend, Lu Dongbin teased Bai Mudan three times before she agreed to give up everything and follow him into the world to practice.

But now, in order to become a fairy and to win the title of the most beautiful woman in the world, Bai Mudan chose to practice with Lu Dongbin without hesitation.

Lü Dongbin: “…”

Many of the back-up plans have not been implemented, and I feel like I haven’t achieved a sense of accomplishment.

Liu Shu is famous in the capital, but his reputation is mixed.

Some people think he is lustful, others think he is a genuine person who knows how to appreciate beauty.

In fact, when he was a judge, he was very accurate in his judgment of each contestant and pointed out the strengths of each contestant.

The women all wanted to get a word of praise from Liu Shu.

Whenever Liu Shu goes out now and is recognized, women will come running to him and throw themselves into his arms.

It’s a pity that there are too few girls from respectable families who are willing to marry Liu Shu, as they are all worried that Liu Shu is too fickle.

Cao Jingxiu, on the other hand, is very popular in the marriage market.

Although the mourning period has not yet ended, some people have already contacted Cao Jingxiu.

However, Cao Jingxiu had no plans to get married for the time being, so he said that his sister had to decide his marriage.

Those people can't go into the palace to ask the queen, right?

Cao Jingxiu's marriage was temporarily put on hold.

Two years passed like this, and the Cao family had gotten rid of the mourning period.

Those who were optimistic about Cao Jingxiu found an opportunity to ask the queen for her opinion.

Empress Cao was very concerned about her brother's marriage.

My younger brother is really old and it is time for him to get married. Empress Cao asked people to investigate the girls from the families of officials and dignitaries and choose the best one for her younger brother.

Empress Cao first fell in love with the daughter of the prime minister, but just when she was discussing the marriage with the prime minister's wife, the daughter suddenly fell seriously ill and was dying.

Naturally, the marriage discussion could not go on.

As a result, once the marriage was put on hold, the prime minister's daughter was fine.

However, Empress Cao and the people in the Prime Minister's family did not think too much about it. They just thought that the Prime Minister's daughter had a good foundation and the medicine she took was effective, so she got better.

The second person that Empress Cao fell in love with was a county princess from a royal family.

When Liu Li was halfway through the tour, the county lady died.

She also made it herself.

This person is a two-faced person. She behaves very well in public, being kind and dignified. Even Empress Cao has a good impression of her.

But in fact, this county lady was a person who liked to abuse people.

The longest time that the maids around her stayed with her was no more than three years.

These maids were either crippled or killed by her.

However, the county lady's mother was very skilled and kept tight control over the mansion, so no bad news came out.

This time, a maidservant, in order to avenge her only relative, endured humiliation and endured great hardships beside the county princess, gained her trust, and then fed her poison when she was off guard.

Afterwards, the maid also took the poison and died together with the county lady.

The county lady's mansion would definitely not reveal this inside story, so they turned around and said that Cao Jingxiu was unlucky and killed the county lady. They also used the illness of the prime minister's daughter as evidence.

To be honest, Liu Shu felt that what they said was actually correct.

Cao Jingxiu was destined to be without a wife in his life.

As he is a deity, mortal women cannot approach him. If they insist on approaching him, they will be hurt by his fate.

For someone like the Prime Minister's daughter who has done nothing evil, she can recover as long as she breaks off her relationship with Cao Jingxiu.

People like the county lady, who have so many lives on her body, will naturally be harmed by their sins and death is inevitable.

After death, one will enter the eighteen levels of hell in the underworld.

However, Liu Shu was unhappy that someone was trying to cover up the evil deeds and truth of his own family members by involving other people.

Liu Shu directly exposed the truth.

Also exposed was the secret that the county lady's biological mother had killed her biological father.

This county lady and her wife are very similar to Xia Jingui and her daughter in Dream of the Red Chamber.

The county princess's father was not satisfied with the cruelty of her mother, and wanted to promote the second wife, so he locked up her mother.

The county princess's mother was as cruel and ruthless as she was. She took the initiative and poisoned the county princess's father to death, and then killed the second wife.

The entire county lady's mansion is run by the county lady's mother and her two children.

My mother and sister are not good people, and the head of the family also has a bad record.

Liu Shu also exposed the evil things he had done.

The county princess's mother was ordered to commit suicide because she killed her husband. The head of the family was removed from the family tree and was no longer a member of the royal family. He eventually left the capital in disgrace.

Queen Cao never expected that the person she had chosen would be such a person. She was glad that the county lord died early and did not let Cao Jingxiu marry her.

Otherwise it will be too late.

Queen Cao decided that she must conduct a thorough investigation before deciding whether or not to arrange a marriage for her younger brother.

However, the rumor that Cao Jingxiu was unlucky in marriage spread, and many people believed the rumor. Cao Jingxiu's market value dropped a lot, and many families who loved their children were unwilling to marry into the Cao family.

The candidate that Empress Cao saw was not approved by his parents, so Empress Cao had no choice. (End of this chapter)
