Transmigrating into a Big Villain in the Book

 Chapter 137: The Selected Palace Maid

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Xiaoluzi knelt down, his voice full of fear. “Your Majesty, please have a look at us. His Majesty says that if Your Majesty are dissatisfied with us, he won’t let us live and I’ll also die. Please have mercy on us.”

Ke Ruan was already angry. “It’s none of my business if you die.”

There was no voice outside the door.

Ke Ruan quickly stood up. If it was someone else who had said it, he would only have treated it as a prank, but Si Yuhan was different. He was a man of his word. If he said he wanted to kill these people, he would never show mercy to them.

As the old saying went, if the king of Hell summoned one at midnight, who dared kept him till the early hours of the morning?

Si Yuhan was the living king of Hell.

He hurriedly opened the door and everyone outside the door knelt on the ground. Xiaoluzi lowered his head and wiped his tears. Behind him, there were more than ten palace maids and eunuchs with their eyebrows lowered who seemed to be scared that their shoulders were trembling uncontrollably.

Ke Ruan had never been a cruel person. He waved his hand and said helplessly, “Well, get up. It’s just to choose a few palace maids. Since you’re here, it’s fine to have a look.”

“Thank you, Empress.”

Ke Ruan’s mouth twitched. ‘You have to make me uncomfortable by stressing the title, right?’

He turned around and waltzed into the house, sitting on the stool and pouring a cup of tea for himself. The tea was still hot, and the fragrance of the tea instantly filled his mouth. It didn’t taste bitter, which was indeed quality tea with a faint aroma.

“Raise your heads and let Her Majesty have a look at you.”

Just as Ke Ruan took a mouthful of the tea, he instantly spat it out. Fortunately, he was a little too far away from them. Otherwise, they would definitely be splashed with the tea.

He wiped the water from the corner of his mouth and stared at the people kneeling outside the house.

‘Are they the palace maids chosen for me? Is he sure that he hasn’t found the battle-axes for me?’

It was not an exaggeration to describe them as ‘hideous’.

Took the two girls behind Xiaoluzi for example. The one on the left had a big face like a flatbread with a collapsing nose and tiny eyes which were about to narrow into slits. As for the one on the right, her face was small, but pockmarks had pitted her face, which looked like a sieve.

There was no need to mention the few people behind them. It was difficult to see them in the darkness, but their figures could be compared with the elephants. ‘Where in the name of Heaven did they select these palace maids?’

A woman who entered the imperial palace, whether she was a palace maid or concubine, had to be carefully selected. Although she needed not have a face that could launch a thousand ships, at the very least, she had to be delicate. ‘What on earth are they doing about the selection of the maids?’

Ke Ruan understood that Si Yuhan did it on purpose, absolutely! Didn’t he deliberately send these people to make him uncomfortable?

Xiaoluzi didn’t know where these maids came from either. He was also shocked when he saw them for the first time. It would be so upset that the empress had to see them every day. So he suddenly sympathized with Ke Ruan.

“Empress, these people were chosen by His Majesty.”

Ke Ruan, “…”

He hurriedly poured another cup of tea to help get over his shock. “So, I must accept these people, or they won’t be able to live. Is that what I mean?”

“Yes.”

Ke Ruan felt his head was aching without stopping. “Alright, I understand. If they need to stay, just do it. Xiaoluzi, you can arrange for their accommodations and jobs. Now you can leave.”

“Yes!”

Ke Ruan quickly got up and closed the door. ‘I shouldn’t have been like this. People’s faces are bestowed by their parents. I shouldn’t have discriminated against them. Yes, I’m wrong to do that.’

Ke Ruan kept brainwashing himself.

But…
