Illegitimate Girl Takes World

She couldn't figure out who was behind all of this, so Dongfang Xiaoran temporarily put this matter aside. She felt that if she had the time, she would ask Di Qing Mo about his possible breakthrough. After all, she felt that he knew everything.

After sending off Dongfang Yi Xuan, Dongfang Xiaoran spent the next few days in peace. Aside from going to the forest to cultivate and find the Phoenix-Tail Grass, she also went out with Little White. There were also very few people visiting the house. Among them, only Di Qing Mo used the sound transmitting flute to guide her cultivation. Other than that, no one else came to disturb her until …

"Bro, then did you come this time for something?" A few days later, Dongfang Yixuan came to visit again. She naturally welcomed her brother, but this time, he didn't have a trace of a smile on his face. It was icy cold. Dongfang Xiaoran suddenly had a bad premonition.

Dongfang Yi Xuan didn't want to see Dongfang Xiaoran with that expression, but this was no small matter. It was not something they could handle with just their strength, but if Dongfang Xiaoran joined in, it would ruin her life's happiness. While he was fighting, his body had already uncontrollably walked to Dongfang Xiaoran's door.

After a long silence, Dongfang Yi Xuan said, "Ran'er, the Crown Prince is going to choose his wife."

She didn't like the crown prince, nor did she like those silver, gold, and jewelry. Moreover, she had only met the crown prince twice, and the impression that the crown prince gave her was too bad, so no matter what, she didn't want to have anything to do with this prince who felt himself to be above her.

"Oh …" Dongfang Xiaoran answered with a smile. She didn't understand why Dongfang Yi Xuan was talking about these things with a serious face, not because he wanted to marry the crown prince, but because there was another would-be Crown Prince consort in the Eastern Mansion. "That's it, brother."

Seeing Dongfang Xiaoran's nonchalant face, Dongfang Yi Xuan sighed. It seemed that she didn't understand the importance of this matter. "Ran'er, the imperial concubine selection is for the national selection. Anyone of the appropriate age will be selected for the selection." "No," he said.

Hearing this, Dongfang Xiaoran's expression changed. The National Selection, which meant that she had to participate in the selection as well! Originally, she had thought that this had nothing to do with her. She hadn't thought that she would have to go to the palace to participate in such a boring affair. "Brother, I can't not go."

Dongfang Xiaoran didn't want to go to the palace at all. She deeply felt that as long as she had a connection with the palace, the troubles in the future would certainly continue and affect Dongfang Yi Xuan and her uncle. If that was the case, then all her efforts would have been in vain.

"I'm afraid that won't do. The previous rankings have already been released. If you don't go now, then you will be looking down on the royal family. If you don't go now, you will be executed. If you don't, then you will be annihilated." If he could prevent Dongfang Xiaoran from entering the palace, he would be willing to pay any price. But now, with the royal family's order, even if he wanted to protect Dongfang Xiaoran, he was powerless.

"I understand. Bro, let's go." Dongfang Yi Xuan didn't finish his words, but Dongfang Xiaoran could guess what he meant. She knew who she treated best and who she treasured the most in the Dongfang family. The only way to make her voluntarily enter the palace was to use them to threaten her.

"Ran Er …" Seeing Dongfang Xiaoran's attitude change, bitterness filled Dongfang Yi's heart. It was because he was too useless, that he couldn't protect her properly, and was even dragging her down. Now he had to personally send her to the palace, because he didn't know that the palace was a place to eat people.

"It's alright, bro. I just came to the palace for a round. I'm not sure if I'll be selected." After all, this was the national audition, so how could he carelessly choose her? Furthermore, there was a person like Dongfang Yaruo who would place their pressure on him, so the chances of her being chosen was very small.

Dongfang Yi Xuan could only nod in agreement. He had been convincing himself that Dongfang Xiaoran was now a very assertive person, and he didn't need to keep helping her with these things. He was also very happy to see her like this, but he felt a little disappointed in himself because he didn't even have the chance to help her anymore.

"There's no rush to enter the palace. The women's portraits from all over the country will be sent to the palace within three days, and the emperor and empress will personally pick out thirty people to be the targets of the crown prince's selection. So in the next few days, you can wait here for the painter to come and paint your portrait, as well as prepare a set of gorgeous clothes." Dongfang Yi Xuan instructed. Although Dongfang Xiaoran's appearance could be considered pretty good, when the time came in the palace, those well-dressed women would definitely use her as a provocation.

Although he was also extremely unwilling for Dongfang Xiaoran to enter the palace, since this matter was unavoidable, he definitely could not allow her to be humiliated in the palace. Furthermore, as far as he knew, if Dongfang Ya was also going to participate in this election, then Dongfang XingRui would definitely go as well. Furthermore, according to what he knew, if Dongfang Ya was also going to participate in this election, then Dongfang Xingren would also be going as well.

"Alright." Dongfang Xiaoran agreed. She also thought that from now on, they would definitely meet Dongfang Ya and Dongfang Xing Rui in this general election. According to the past, they would definitely embarrass her in front of everyone, and they might even do something to her.

Afterwards, Dongfang Xiaoran chatted with Dongfang Yi Xuan for a while, and after sending him off, Dongfang Xiaoran looked at herself in the mirror. Indeed, she didn't look like a woman, so she decided to listen to Dongfang Yi and make herself a set of clothes.

"Falling, Little White!" Otherwise, if something unexpected happened, she would definitely be at a disadvantage. Although she didn't want to compete with them, Dongfang Yayan definitely wouldn't let her off easily, so she had to make preparations … "We're going out!"

"Lil 'White, do you know where the clothes look better?" Dongfang Xiaoran, who had brought along a man and a beast, quietly asked Whitey. Although she had wandered the streets of the imperial city quite a few times, it was only to find books and pills to cultivate with.
