Star Sea Hunter

At night, two rounds of bright moons slowly rise from the horizon, the silver and ice blue brilliance complement each other, pouring gently like flowing water on the majestic and vast imperial palace complex in midair!

The Xingyun Terrace in the southwest corner of the Imperial Palace is already crowded with people, and a large group of maids and servants are busy nervously, making final preparations for the grand event that is about to begin.

On the square in front of the imperial palace, countless luxury small spaceships take off and land continuously, but they are different from the common vehicles used by the nobles in the past. The spaceships that appear today are all of uniform specifications and appearance, and there are engraved engravings on the body without exception. It is decorated with the silver dragon pattern dedicated to the imperial family, and the golden ring emblem unique to the Imperial Household Office.

The vicinity of the imperial palace has been completely under martial law, and the palace guards of the brigade and the garrison of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs have jointly undertaken the security defense during this period.

Groups of well-dressed young girls walked slowly down the gangway under the leadership of the court ladies, and then gathered in front of the palace gate. After the head of the housekeeper checked the number of people and verified their identities, they changed to the speeding car in the palace to go to the palace. Xingyuntai.

After arriving at the destination, the girls lined up under the command of the leading female officer, and then entered the hall in an orderly manner.

"Is everyone almost here?" Xiao Muhan sat on the phoenix seat, casually looking at the girls who came in, and asked lightly.

The female officer in purple immediately bowed and responded: "Yes, all eligible women have already entered the imperial palace. After the identity check, they will all arrive here within 10 minutes!"

"Well, counting the time, His Majesty should be here!" The queen nodded and said, "Send someone to the imperial study to take a look. By this time, the government affairs should have been dealt with!"

In the court draft, according to the practice handed down by the royal families of the various countries in the Star Sea, the candidates for the election mainly come from all nobles with a title of viscount or higher in the empire, officials with planetary governors and administrative positions of the same level, senior military generals with the rank of lieutenant general or higher, Or at least a high-level ability user who has the cultivation level of the Holy Order. Among the immediate relatives of the upper-level figures of the empire, as long as there are qualified women, they are all eligible to participate in the draft!

This draft is the first time since the founding of the Xinghui Empire, so it is very grand, because the empire is too large, with more than 10 star fields and nearly [-] administrative planets!As a result, the number of participants has reached as many as [-], which is the highest over the years!

In fact, the pre-screening work has already started a few months ago. The Royal Household Office will send a large number of commissioners to various parts of the empire to conduct a preliminary review of all the women who are eligible to participate in the election, and select those women who meet the requirements one by one. Collect the information and report it to the Empress of the Empire.

Then, these women will take the spaceship of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a special trip to the imperial capital, and the court ladies will conduct a second round of selection, from appearance and manners to etiquette cultivation, from clothing to xinxing knowledge, from family background to political inclinations, religious beliefs, etc. , all kinds of extremely harsh standards are checked at every level, and all those that do not meet the requirements are sent back to their places of origin.

After many rounds of screening, less than 500 people finally qualified. Only these women are eligible to participate in the reception held at Wangxingyuntai. At that time, the emperor and empress will also be present in person. As for whether they are lucky enough to marry into the royal family, it depends on Their good fortune.

At this time, the eyes of the entire elite of the imperial capital are paying attention to this grand draft. The result is not just as simple as who the emperor chooses, but what they care most about is whether the emperor has a different attitude towards the noble families. Changes, and the impact of the draft on the future court of the empire, what will happen to the new round of power structure, etc.!

All the arrangements in the hall have already been completed. At [-] o'clock in the evening, the reception will officially begin. After the ladies see the queen, they will sit together in groups of three or four, chatting and enjoying drinks and snacks, waiting for His Majesty to arrive.

"Sister, these women look good!" Xiao Wenyue, who was standing beside the queen, looked at the situation in the palace, and said to her quietly:

"I don't know, how many will His Majesty choose tonight! I'm afraid you won't accept all of them?"

Xiao Muhan almost spit out the tea in his mouth: "Take it all? What are you kidding? There are hundreds of people here?"

She stuck out her tongue embarrassingly: "I'm just joking! But there are only a few people in the harem now, and it is only right to have more people! Besides, the current royal family's blood is weak, and it must be changed as soon as possible!"

"That being said, our Majesty is not very willing!" Xiao Muhan sighed, "I'm afraid most of these women will return disappointed!"

Xiao Wenyue blinked her big clear eyes: "Isn't that better for you sister? You were invited by those noble families to persuade His Majesty to agree to the draft, which is already enough to give them face. As for His Majesty not being selected, then It's the women in their family who don't live up to expectations, but they can't blame others!"

"You put it lightly!" The Queen shook her head and said, "According to the practice of the previous dynasty, those families with the title of duke or above have their own quota! No matter what your Majesty's attitude is, the women of these families will all enter the palace. If His Majesty doesn't like them, he can only ask those families to change their candidates, but he cannot cancel those default places!"

"Moreover, for the sake of making good friends with those honorable ministers, women from certain families must be selected! For example, the grandniece of Marshal Gulongsi, the two younger sisters of Li Xingyan's family, and some other high-ranking officials The daughter of the family..."

As she said that, she picked up a list from the desk, opened it and looked it over and said: "No matter what, after this draft, there will always be a group of people coming in! Those families that do not have a predetermined quota will have to look at their family's list." Can the woman be taken by His Majesty!"

Xiao Wenyue thoughtfully said: "Our family should also have a default quota, right?"

"Of course, our grandmother is also the Duke of the Empire!" The queen smiled. "I mentioned it to you last time. By now, you should have made up your mind? If there is no objection, I will give you your name." Just add it!"

Xiao Wenyue's face darkened: "Don't talk about it! Who said I'm going to marry him?"

"You... don't want to?" The queen's expression froze, "It's a dream opportunity for many women to marry into the royal family, and you don't agree?"

"I just don't like him!" Xiao Wenyue snorted.

Xiao Muhan smiled wryly and said: "Even if our Majesty is not a unparalleled figure in the world, but he was able to create such a large foundation in just a few years. What kind of man do you want to find to be satisfied?"

"I'm just not interested in sharing him with a group of women!" Xiao Wenyue announced proudly, "My future man can only belong to me alone. If he dares to find another woman, no matter how good he is, I will give him a chance to marry him." Cut him up too!"

The queen was stunned for a long time before saying: "Sister, you probably don't know yet! Grandma has already told me about this in private. There are other choices!"

"What? They actually..." Xiao Wenyue's pretty face turned pale with anger, "Is there no woman in our family? Why did they come to me? What a bastard!"

"Forget it, sister!" Xiao Muhan sighed softly, "The decision of the Patriarch cannot be changed. To be able to marry such a man is already very good for you! Besides, there is no one in this palace who would dare to marry such a man! Let you be wronged!"

Xiao Wenyue said angrily: "Okay! I can't change their decision, someone can change it! I will tell His Majesty myself!"

As she spoke, she disappeared in a flash.

"This... huh?" Xiao Muhan originally wanted to stop her, but then changed his mind and sighed leisurely. He only hoped that her younger sister could speak more tactfully and not really annoy His Majesty.

Half an hour later, His Majesty the Emperor finally arrived, and all the eyes of the audience were focused on him.

"Your Majesty is here!" Xiao Muhan stood up gracefully, and greeted him with a light smile.

Yun Haoyu nodded, glanced at the situation in the hall, and asked casually: "Are these the girls to be selected?"

Xiao Muhan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, after several rounds of selection, a total of 460 women with excellent looks, talents and talents were selected. You can choose as you like."

"Okay, I see!" Yun Haoyu replied indifferently.

After the emperor and empress sat down again, the beautiful girl in the palace immediately stepped forward to salute again.

Looking from afar, this group of women is indeed one of a kind beauty beauties, if you pull one out at random, their appearance, temperament, manners and manners are all impeccable.They are uniformly dressed in pure white snow-like classic lady long dresses. They don’t wear makeup, but only show people without makeup. They are graceful and slim, fat and thin. , all kinds of different styles, and so on!

Hundreds of the most outstanding beauties of the empire came together, the strong visual impact effect, even he who is used to seeing stunning beauty has a feeling of shock!

No matter how many other considerations he has, he has to admit that the current self is filled with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction!

Every normal man has a dream of a harem in his heart!Of course, there are very few people who have the ability and luck to turn it into reality!

Power, wealth, women, and certain other ideals, isn't it what people pursue in their entire lives?Although it looks utilitarian and vulgar, it is human nature!

Now there are hundreds of such excellent women standing in front of him, hoping to be his favorite, it would be bullshit to say that they are not tempted!After all, he is just a man!

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Muhan coughed lightly when he saw that he was silent for a long time, and reminded:

"You can go down and have a look, get in touch with them, talk to them by the way, if you like someone, give her this jade token, and leave the rest to the concubines!"

As she said that, she took out a golden box, which was filled with a box of exquisitely crafted round jade plaques about half the size of a palm.

"Your Majesty, my concubine will hold it for you!" Shuangyan at the side hurriedly stepped forward to take it.

"Okay!" Yun Haoyu also knew that it was inappropriate for him to sit like this, so he got up and walked down the jade steps.

When a group of women saw him approaching, their beautiful eyes showed anticipation, as if they wanted to lean over to say hello, but they were a little afraid and hesitated to move forward.
