“Chapter 75: You fox spirit deserve to die”
“What’s wrong? You saw it, I wanted to keep a low profile, but the situation wouldn’t allow it!” Qi Huang said smugly.
“Since you insist, then it shall be as you wish!” Eunuch Zhong showed confusion on his face, but still bowed his head and began to read: “Qi Huang…
Looks: Ten
Figure: Ten
Skin: Ten
Body Fragrance: Ten
Voice: Ten
… ”
After these five items were read, Eunuch Zhong paused for a moment. The entire Imperial Garden fell into dead silence. No one had expected the rumors to be true. Five perfect scores, what did that even mean? Let alone the Xihui Dynasty, even the “Sinking Fish List” that gathered beauties from the entire Cultivation World had never heard of several women on it achieving perfect scores in all five categories.
Ouyang Tong felt even more ashamed, her head buried in her chest. Empress Zheng and the three imperial consorts in the pavilion had turned ashen and slumped onto their stools. As women, they could not clearly measure a woman’s beauty with their naked eyes, just as men were often insensitive to handsome men. It was only when the specific scores came out that they realized how stunning Qi Huang’s appearance was.
‘With such stunning beauty once she enters the harem, she could monopolize the Emperor’s favor with her looks alone. Moreover, with such excellent bloodline, other imperial concubines will be completely suppressed and unable to turn over.’ This was the thought of everyone present.
Lin Tu couldn’t help but reveal a proud expression. If he could take such a peerless beauty into his harem, he would become the Emperor with the most “blessings from women” in all the preceding dynasties of this land. This was also an achievement to be proud of.
At this moment, Eunuch Zhong began to read with a complicated expression: “Fertility: Four. Overall evaluation: Eight.” As soon as he finished speaking, the Imperial Garden erupted again. No one had expected such a result. Everyone knew very well what a fertility score of two meant.
“What? Four points? I didn’t mishear, did I?” In the pavilion, Empress Zheng sat up as if resurrected from the dead, tears welling up in her eyes due to the extreme emotional fluctuation.
“Sister didn’t mishear. Her fertility is indeed only four points. Otherwise, with perfect scores in the first five categories, how could the overall evaluation only be eight points?” Consort Jin said with red eyes, because once this result came out, it meant her daughter had no competitors.
“Heaven truly has eyes! A fertility evaluation of four; unless she has some hidden illness, it can only mean her bloodline is extremely inferior, and she absolutely cannot give birth to cultivators!”
“Yes! The Emperor values her bloodline. If she were just beautiful, he would never offend the Immortal Alliance to the end for her. We are saved.”
Consort Hui and Consort Li also cried tears of joy. Lin Tu froze on the spot again. He had never dreamed that after all his efforts, he would get nothing but a vase that looked good but was useless.
“How is this possible?” Qi Huang was also caught off guard. She walked up angrily and said, “I say, is there something wrong with your Phoenix Selection Token? My main body has six perfect scores, why do I only have five?”
Eunuch Zhong stood awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment. Qi Huang snatched the Phoenix Selection Token and tested it again, only to find that the fertility score was indeed only four points. She immediately became angry and said, “What is this garbage, it’s not accurate at all!”
“No, are you stupid? You’ve already made a name for yourself. Isn’t a lower fertility score better? That way, the dog Emperor will let you leave. Do you really plan to have a lot of children in the future? Why do you care so much!” Yaoyao couldn’t stand it anymore and couldn’t help but remind her.
“Right! How could I be so stupid!” Qi Huang suddenly realized. She used to be a “man” and never planned to have children, so why should she care about fertility? Anyway, she had already proven the excellence of her main body.
“May I ask Eunuch Zhong, what does this fertility score of four represent?” Qi Huang calmed down immediately and asked tentatively. If this dog Emperor truly gave up on her because of this, it would be the best.
“A perfect fertility score is ten. If a woman’s fertility is normal, then one to three points represents an inferior bloodline, and her offspring will be either foolish or idiotic. Four to five points is considered normal. Although her offspring will be literate, they will absolutely not become cultivators, so it is considered a low-grade bloodline. Only with six points or more is there a chance of giving birth to offspring with cultivation talent.” Eunuch Zhong did not speak; Lin Tu answered.
“So you mean my bloodline is inferior!” Qi Huang asked incredulously. Lin Tu remained silent, because he knew this would be a huge blow to a woman.
“Hehe, this is great!” Qi Huang burst into laughter inexplicably. The reason was simple: ever since her cheap mother’s bloodline was exposed, her father had been brooding because his ideals were shattered. She was just looking for a reason to prove herself, and unexpectedly, coming to the Imperial Palace led to confirming that she had a low-grade bloodline. Now she had a legitimate reason to act.
“Is she stupid?” Lin Tu showed pity on his face. “Ahem, so Your Majesty, do you still intend to have me? Is it worth offending the Immortal Alliance completely for a low-grade bloodline Imperial Concubine?” Qi Huang coughed a few times and asked in a teasing tone.
“Don’t rush. It’s also possible that there’s a problem with your health.” Lin Tu did not answer directly but commanded to the side: “Imperial Physician Zhao, come up and examine her body.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” A middle-aged woman stepped forward to receive the order and was about to examine Qi Huang’s physical condition. Qi Huang was also afraid there might be a mistake, so she obediently cooperated with Imperial Physician Zhao. Imperial Physician Zhao looked serious, took her pulse, and asked questions. After a full half-hour, she reported to Lin Tu: “Replying to Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Qi’s body is very healthy, with no problems.”
“It seems heaven is fair! Your Majesty never dreamed that after working so hard to bring this woman into the palace and trying every means to keep her, even offending the Immortal Alliance for her, in the end, he only got a vase.” Empress Zheng in the pavilion was completely relieved.
“Yes, with a fertility score of four alone, her value is discounted by eighty to ninety percent. No matter how beautiful she is, once she gets old, she will immediately fall out of favor,” Consort Hui said sarcastically without much thought.
“What do you mean ‘fall out of favor’? Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and absolutely won’t be mesmerized by beauty, so he definitely won’t take her into the harem,” Consort Li immediately retorted decisively.
“I think Sister Consort Li is absolutely right. Your Majesty has always prioritized the country and its people. How could he let such a lowly woman corrupt the royal family’s noble bloodline? And at the risk of retribution from the Immortal Alliance.” Empress Zheng also judged with great certainty. It was less an analysis and more an unwillingness to see what she didn’t want to see happen, because she knew she was old and had no capital to compete with the other woman.
Whispers echoed in the Imperial Garden again, and most of the Imperial Concubines showed expressions of relief.
“Your Majesty, what about now? Do you still plan to have me enter the harem?” Qi Huang asked playfully.
Lin Tu fell into complete silence now, pacing back and forth in the area with a gloomy expression, unable to make a decision for a long time.
“Your Majesty, there’s no need to consider it further! It’s still time to let her go. Otherwise, if we offend the Immortal Alliance, our Xihui Dynasty will be in danger.” Empress Zheng couldn’t hold back any longer and quickly advised.
“Yes, Your Majesty, she is just a woman with a low-grade bloodline, and she can’t possibly give birth to royal offspring with cultivation talent. It’s not worth offending the entire Immortal Alliance for her.”
“Elder Zuo just left. It’s still time to expel her from the palace, otherwise, it will be too late to regret it.” Consort Hui and Consort Li also spoke in succession. Consort Jin, however, watched from the sidelines calmly. Since it had nothing to do with her anymore, why should she attract hatred? As long as her daughter was there, she would never fall out of favor.
Lin Tu walked back and forth, occasionally looking at Qi Huang’s pretty face and alluring figure. In the end, hormones prevailed, and he said firmly, “I have decided, I still want to take her into the harem!” Qi Huang was stunned; she hadn’t expected Lin Tu to be so stubborn. Empress Zheng was struck by lightning and then asked with a tearful voice, “Why? Your Majesty! She is just a vase, is it worth offending the Immortal Alliance for her? The Xihui Dynasty is very likely to face disaster because of this.”
“It’s fine, as long as I like it!” Lin Tu looked at Qi Huang, revealing naked possessiveness in his eyes.
“What a fox spirit! What a fox spirit! You’re bringing ruin to my Xihui Dynasty!” Empress Zheng sighed to the sky, then vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted.
