The person was right.

No matter how fantastic the result of the cultivation test, as long as the look was not favorable, it would be useless!

Helian Wei Wei’s biggest weak point right now would be her looks!

It was not a problem when someone was to look only at her features, but her face was too dark and she had something similar to freckles smeared all over her face, which was not presentable.

It was impossible for such a face to win over Yun Biluo who was called the tender beauty.

“Sister Yun, you must look at the bright side. Everyone knows your looks are deemed as the number one. Certainly, you will win the next round and someone will surely get disqualified.” The person spoke very softly, no one else except Yun Biluo could hear her.

Despite that, Yun Biluo knew how she should react, so she smiled tenderly. “There are many other sisters other than me who are a beauty themselves, like you, Sister Lan, and...” She still has no idea who would be the first on the appearance evaluation.

“And what?”

Yun Biluo cleared her throat softly a few times, making herself appear more sympathetic. “Nothing, I just feel that sometimes no matter how good looks are, they are not an attraction to His Highness.”

“Sister Yun, don’t say something like that. The presence of His Highness proves that he still cares about you.”

Yun Biluo smiled through tears, causing her to look extremely innocent, “Really?”

“Of course, it’s real,” said the person as she took a glance at Helian Wei Wei.

After the crystal ball evaluation, there were only five that remained.

Helian Wei Wei, Yun Biluo, Helian Jiao Er, and so on.

The five that remained would enter the next round, which would be a contest of looks.

However, anyone with a clear sight could see, if swans were used as a figure of speech, and Helian Wei Wei would be the disharmonic ugly duckling.

Yet she stood at the first position, anyone who looked at her only remembered the blackness of her face, no further attention was paid on her facial features.

Everyone was impressed by the Third Prince’s sense of beauty for choosing such an ugly woman as a princess consort back then!

Even Lord Liao, who was in charge of the secondary consort selection this time, could not understand. He turned around and said loudly, “The second round, the contest of looks, begins now! After the contest of looks, you can reveal your number and see whether it is the same with the initial appearance evaluation! All the xiunu¹ please come up on stage and stand accordingly!”

As soon as his voice subsided, five of them walked up the tall ring together.

Helian Wei Wei was indubitability arranged in the first position as she won first place during the first round.

“Every xiunu¹ has a basic point of 50 and additional points will be added on the basic points. The one with the highest points wins. Three xiunu¹ will be eliminated in this round, which meant the two left will rely on their combined results to decide the winner. Whoever wins will become the secondary consort of the Third Prince!” Lord Liao explained as he looked at the civilians and officials who were selected as temporary judges. “The ten judges here are all personally handpicked by Eunuch Sun, they have no connections with any of the xiunu¹ who had made the cut, so they will be judging based on their own opinions, it is impossible to cheat! We will begin according to the sequence of numbers, the first one is the fifth place of the previous round, Miss Lan!”

At the moment, the crowd had all eyes on the lady named Lan, the points given were decent but it was far behind from Yun Biluo who was next.

The third was Helian Jiao Er, her tender look plus her temperament which she intentionally cultivated since young had added a lot of points for her.

Even so, she did not manage to surpass Yun Biluo.

Every one of them gave Yun Biluo very high marks.

97 points were already the lowest, let alone that there were many who gave her 100!

The crowd was in clamors, many cheered for Yun Biluo’s high points as if the contest of beauty had ended with her while judging that Helian Wei Wei was not necessary.

This was because anyone with eyes could see that with Helian Wei Wei’s looks, she could only be the last!

Lord Liao cleared his throat twice, “Silence! Silence! Judges, please grade the princess consort.”

Helian Jiao Er smiled for the time had finally arrived!

What a b*tch, so what if she won the cultivation test? She still had to lower her head in front of them in the end!

She deserved it!

Helian Jiao Er finally felt a lot more comfortable, her gaze at Helian Wei Wei was filled with mockery that took pleasure toward the misfortunate.

Yu Biluo’s voice was soft, “Wei Wei, maybe you should stop them from grading you, I’m afraid that you’ll get hurt.”

Her words might sound like she was saying it for Helian Wei Wei’s sake, but she actually meant that Helian Wei Wei was the ugliest among them!

“Sister Yun, just let her get her gradings. We are already here anyway, let her try and hear everyone’s grading so that she won’t have regrets later,” Helian Jiao Er continued Yu Biluo’s words hypocritically.

Helian Wei Wei just smiled at her faintly, she then told Lord Liao calmly, “Before the grading, I want to wash my face so that the judges can have a better look at me before grading.”

Lord Liao was thinking that it was useless for her to wash her face since it was naturally dark. Yet, he ordered the men to bring her a wooden bucket of clear water.

He would not want to unintentionally offend the Third Prince because of this.

Although he was also one of the four influential families, he would still try his best from stepping on Third Prince’s tail.

However, he could not understand the reason why the princess consort requested to wash her face now.

The others were also puzzled by the sudden request of Helian Wei Wei.

Even Second Master Hei who always understood her furrowed his thick brows as he had no idea what she was trying to do.

Only the man in white standing in the crowd who was caressing the little one with his fingers was slightly stunned. When he looked up, his dark gaze landed on Helian Wei Wei, it faintly looked like his eyes were shining.

Helian Wei Wei stood there without caring about the little commotion that she had caused with her request. action

She nimbly flipped her left hand and several fresh red strawberries appeared magically on her palm.

Yuan Ming evilly chuckled and Whitey meowed elegantly yet indifferently. The two of them knew what exactly Helian Wei Wei was trying to do, so their ridiculing gazes were natural.

She absent-mindedly crushed the strawberries into juices in the wooden bucket at a position where people could not see her movements. Then, she softly scooped the water up with her hands and tapped it on her face...

Xiunu¹ – Young unmarried women awaiting selection test to become a concubine or secondary consort in this case.
