2427: Ying Bao (30)

Ying Bao (30)

He did not want the country to fall into chaos after he passed away. He did not want the country to fall apart because of the power struggle.1

Therefore, it was imperative to find a suitable queen.

Sheng Yi accepted the order and quickly assigned the task.

The news that the king was going to choose a suitable marriage partner among the nobles in the country was released. All the women who saw the news were excited.

Huangfu Xuanye, who was only 30 years old, could be said to be the husband of the dreams of all the girls in the Northern Kingdom. Unfortunately, he had always been single and had never mentioned anything about getting married.

However, today, he actually took the initiative to hold a selection for a marriage partner. How could they not be excited?

All the nobles in the Northern Kingdom began to sign up for their daughter after they saw the news.

Not all applicants were granted a meeting with the king. They had to go through the first round of strict selections.

Those who were unchaste, unhealthy, or had had plastic surgery would all be disqualified.

In the end, almost a hundred candidates were selected.

Sheng Yi took the last dozen application forms and went to see the king. He asked the king to look at the photos on the forms and choose a suitable partner.

Before he reached the gate of the palace, Sheng Yi was stopped by someone. The person who stopped him was none other than the daughter of the palace steward, Shen Wanxin.

"What's the matter, Miss Shen?" Sheng Yi asked expressionlessly.

Shen Wanxin was 24 years old this year. She was quite pretty, but she was not stunningly gorgeous enough to turn heads. It was because her father was the head of the Hua Er Palace that she had the chance to be in charge of the affairs in the garden of the palace.

She was in love with Huangfu Xuanye and wanted to win the king's attention. She had put in a lot of effort in this aspect. She had already pretended to "encounter him by chance" more than a thousand times.

It was a pity that Huangfu Xuanye was never interested in women. He had no interest in Shen Wanxin, and thus, Shen Wanxin could not get his favor.

Now that the king was finally going to choose a queen, she had to fight for her chance.

She had been waiting here for a long time for Sheng Yi to pass by. When she saw him coming, she jumped out and blocked his way.

"Sheng Yi, I heard that His Majesty is going to choose a suitable marriage partner. As long as the conditions are met, you can sign up. Can you help me count?"

Shen Wanxin handed over her personal information and photos.

Sheng Yi took it and looked at it. He asked, "Has this photo of you been digitally retouched?"

Shen Wanxin quickly waved her hands. "No, no, absolutely not. There's no beauty enhancing filter or digital retouching. That's a selfie taken under good lighting conditions. If you don't believe me, you can compare it to my face!"

"Fine, I'll help you put it in. As for whether His Majesty will take a fancy to you, that will depend on your luck."

Sheng Yi was giving her a chance to skip the queue because of her father.

Otherwise, based on the most fundamental criteria, her family background was not suitable.

"Thank you, thank you…"

No matter what, Shen Wanxin was very happy to be able to hand over her application. She only hoped that God would be kind to her and let the king choose her at first glance.

From now on, she would become the queen of a country, and the Shen family would also be able to soar to new heights.

In the king's study.

Sheng Yi placed all the eligible profiles in front of Huangfu Xuanye. "Your Majesty, here are all the profiles of the eligible women. Please take a look."

Since Shen Wanxin's information was the last to be handed over, Sheng Yi placed it first. Therefore, the first person Huangfu Xuanye saw was Shen Wanxin.

"Why is Shen Wanxin here?" Huangfu Xuanye asked.
