Zhen Huan is still in love, and her sister's goal is to become the queen mother

Huimin was planning to look for Miss Li, but when she turned around, she saw a woman in pink standing there timidly with her head down, while another beautiful young lady was arrogant and refused to give in.

"This is……"

Thinking that this scene seemed familiar, a concubine next to him said:

"This concubine is so miserable. She actually offended the daughter of the Baoyi Zuoling Xia Wei family. Xia Dongchun has a bad temper. She will suffer a lot."

Xia Dongchun? The Legend of Zhen Huan!

No wonder we saw Fu Cha, a popular woman to enter the palace, before. So these must be Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong, right?

Huimin thought about it carefully and saw a beautiful girl with simple clothes step forward.

After thinking about it, Huimin also walked over.

If she doesn't enter the palace, it's best. Just treat it as a good relationship. If she does enter the palace, she can build good relationships with Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and others, and she can also do An Lingrong a favor. It's a rare good opportunity.

As soon as I went over, I heard Zhen Huan say, "My father is Zhen Yuandao, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple."

Xia Dongchun said: "He is not a high-ranking official."

When he saw Huimin coming, he turned his attention to Huimin.

"You're standing up for her, too?"

Xia Dongchun looked Huimin up and down, then looked at An Lingrong and snorted with disdain.

"My father is the governor of Jiangsu, Xilinjueluo Ortai."

When Xia Dongchun heard about Huimin's father's official position, his smile froze for a moment. He didn't expect to run into such a tough guy.

This time, since her second-rank official position made it difficult for her to attack Huimin, Xia Dongchun's attitude became more restrained, but she suddenly changed her tone and turned to An Lingrong:

"A girl from a poor and remote village is not worthy of your help."

Xia Dongchun likes to judge people by their preferences. If some people are hard to offend, she will pick on the weak ones.

"You are so arrogant, everyone is trying to stand up for you. Who are you pretending to be so pitiful for?"

The contemptuous look made An Lingrong shrink back.

Seeing Xia Dongchun's aggressiveness, Zhen Huan also spoke up:

"No matter how high or low the official position is, everything is based on reason. This is the emperor's election, and I don't think my sister would want to be laughed at by both the Han and Manchu flags."

Look at how Zhen Huan's eloquent words left Xia Dongchun speechless.

Huimin also admired in her heart, she was indeed a talented woman with quick wit and eloquent speech, which was really admirable.

These girls who were raised in ancient families since childhood should not be underestimated. They still have a lot to learn and must not look down on any ancient person just because they have modern knowledge.

Seeing Xia Dongchun turning away angrily, Huimin couldn't help laughing.

This Xia is spoiled but straightforward, and inexplicably cute.

However, people like this in the palace are easier to deal with. What I fear most are those people who say one thing and do another and have a snake heart.

After Xia Dongchun left, An Lingrong also thanked both of us.

Zhen Huan said to me, "Sister, you are a chivalrous man. May I know your name?"

Huimin looked at the girl in front of her with lively eyes and a slightly immature look, and said with a smile: "Xilinjueluo Huimin."

His eyes looked at Shen Meizhuang who was standing beside Zhen Huan.

As expected, she is a candidate for the palace carefully cultivated by a large family. She is indeed a dignified and elegant lady from a noble family.

"Who is this?"

"This is Sister Mei Zhuang."

Zhen Huan pulled Shen Meizhuang's hand and walked forward.

After chatting with An Lingrong and the others, the famous scene from "The Legend of Zhen Huan" appeared.

Zhen Huan pinned the crabapple blossom on An Lingrong's head.

Seeing Zhen Huan wearing the flower, Huimin took off the butterfly hairpin with jadeite and pearls on her head and said:

"Since Sister Zhen gave me flowers, I will give Sister a butterfly hairpin as a gift. Flowers go with beauties, and butterflies go with flowers. Sister has a beautiful appearance and a fragrant fragrance. I wish Sister a bright future."

Zhen Huan then gave her a pair of earrings.

Seeing An Lingrong's grateful eyes, Huimin also smiled in response.

An Lingrong is a cunning and sensitive person. It would be best to make friends with her, but don't offend her. But you can't be too close to her either. It's better to just have a good relationship with her.

Before I had chatted with them for a few words, I heard the eunuch calling out names. Indeed, the Manchu army flags were selected before them.

After saying goodbye to Zhen Huan and the others, Huimin tidied her clothes, made sure everything was ready, and then joined the team of six.

Standing in front of the hall without looking around, Huimin clenched her handkerchief nervously, but her face remained calm and her eyelashes were raised respectfully.

"Xilinjueluo Huimin, daughter of Xilinjueluo Ortai, the governor of Jiangsu Province, is seventeen years old."

Hearing her name, Huimin took a step forward and saluted gracefully.

"Your servant Xilinjueluo Huimin pays respect to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

The emperor seemed to be interested and put down the beads in his hand.

"Ertai's daughter? Your father is a good official, upright and honest."

Hearing the emperor's words, Huimin replied calmly:

"The emperor knows how to appoint the right people to the right posts. My father taught me and my brothers to be loyal to the emperor and love our country, so that we can live up to the emperor's expectations."

Hearing this, the emperor burst into laughter.

"The father is good, and the daughter is good too."

The Queen Mother looked at Huimin, who was kneeling on the ground with dignity, and nodded with satisfaction, as she observed all the etiquette and rules well.

When the young eunuch saw the empress dowager nod, he hurriedly said, "Xilinjueluo Huimin left a name card and gave me a sachet."

Huimin's heart sank. Everything had settled and she would finally enter the palace.

When Huimin slowly walked out of the palace gate, she felt as if she was still standing in the hall.

The nervousness still cannot be relieved.

It was really thrilling, but I had to enter the palace after all.

As soon as she walked out of the palace, she saw her two maids guarding the gate.

"Gege, congratulations on being selected."

When Ruyi saw Huimin, she put a cloak on her and congratulated her.

Shunxin silently straightened Huimin's clothes without saying a word.

After getting on the carriage, Huimin told Ruyi:

"Find a carriage and wait until the Han army flag selection is over to send An Lingrong, the daughter of Songyang County Magistrate An Bihuai, back to the inn."

"Yes, Grid."

Seeing Ruyi went to make arrangements, Huimin leaned against Shunxin and closed her eyes to rest.

Now that you have been selected, you have to make plans for your selection.

Helping An Lingrong is just a favor, but there's no telling when it might be useful.

But my selection... Alas, others are selected based on their looks, but I am selected based on my father?

Did she catch the emperor's eye by relying on her father's favor?

This... Although after this period of time I have gradually remembered the historical events about my father. Ortai was the confidant of Emperor Yongzheng and the regent after Yongzheng's death. Although I don't remember much about his deeds, I still remember that this father was absolutely trusted and valued by Yongzheng.

While I was still thinking about the relationships between the characters, I heard the sound of firecrackers and a crowd of people gathered around.

"Princess, the master asked someone to give out copper coins to everyone to celebrate for you."

When Huimin saw her parents waiting for her, she looked at her father and mother with tears in her eyes but trying her best to act happy, and sighed in her heart.

She knew in her heart that no matter what other families said, she did not want to enter the palace. But she could not be dissatisfied with the emperor's decision at this time, so she could only try her best to pretend to be happy.

After entering the mansion, Ortai asked his daughter to go to the study.

I entered the study and saw that my father seemed a little silent.

Huimin spoke first: "Ama."

"Hui Min, come here."

After Huimin sat down, Ortai looked at his daughter carefully and said, "Huimin, I don't know when we can see each other again after you leave."

As soon as these words were spoken, Huimin's tears fell. How could she not know that she might be able to see her mother again if she was favored and had a child with her, but her father's brother would be a stranger.

Ortai looked at his daughter intently, not wanting to miss any time they spent together.

His expression became more serious, and he continued:

"Since you are going to enter the palace, I still need to tell you something. The court and the harem are closely related."

"I know, Amma."

Ortai sighed: "Although you are in the harem, your father will support you in the front court. With me here, they dare not bully you."

Then, Ortai said: "You also know that when Emperor Kangxi was still alive, my father's official position was not high, but when Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne, my father held a high position."

Ortai then said, "When several masters were fighting for the throne, Emperor Yongzheng asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs for money, but my father refused, which offended the fourth master. He thought he had offended Emperor Yongzheng, but he didn't expect that he would be valued by him."

Huimin was stunned. She didn't expect there was such a story.

"When the lords fought for the throne, I didn't easily take sides. In fact, I was optimistic about the current emperor at that time, but you have to know what the emperor wants and make plans before taking action."
