"What do you want?"

Huimin still didn't quite understand.

Ortai looked at his ignorant daughter and said:

"The emperor wants upright ministers who are loyal to him and do not form cliques. Likewise, you should be careful in everything after entering the palace. Remember that the emperor is the ruler. You should be cautious. Temporary complacency will not last long. It is not easy to have the last laugh."

"Ama, I remember it."

Huimin knew that her father, as the one who would have the last laugh after the downfall of Nian Gengyao and Colondo, must know the emperor very well.

"Also, let me explain to you the backgrounds of the ladies in the harem."

It seems that Ama has put in a lot of effort, Huimin thought, Ama loves his daughter so much.

"Hua Fei is Nian Gengyao's sister. Nian Gengyao and I were in the same year of the imperial examination. He has been using this opportunity to show his kindness to me recently. Hua Fei should not make things too difficult for you for her brother's sake."

"But," Ortai paused, "Nian Gengyao, Father thinks he... won't last long. You should not side with Concubine Hua, and Father will also draw a clear line with his party."

"And Longkodo also frequently recommended me..."

After listening to Ama's analysis, Huimin was almost stunned. Why did so many people come to win over Ama?

Finally, Ortai said, "I don't ask you to compete for favor in the harem and bring honor to the family. As long as you are safe and sound, that's enough."

Hearing Ama say this, Huimin's heart softened, but.

"Father, if I must enter the palace, I want to give birth to a prince and become the most noble woman in the world."

Looking at his ambitious daughter, Ortai was a little surprised.

"Father, I know you only wish me well, but if I go in and don't fight, I will be forced to fight. What if a new emperor ascends the throne a hundred years later? How can you trust your daughter and your father?"

Ortai looked at his daughter, who was already full of worries before entering the palace.

"Since my son wants to fight, then as your father, I will naturally support you. But you should be cautious and keep a low profile. Remember this.

Looking at Ortai's serious face, Huimin nodded in agreement.

Coming out of the study, Huimin patted her hot face. The ambition she had just blurted out made her heart pound.

Queen Mother.

With such help and the harem being such a gladiatorial arena, why not fight for that position?

You are destined to not be able to stay out of trouble in the harem, so you can only climb up.

But it is better to be cautious and take a long-term view.

After all, the women in the harem are so scheming that they are not comparable to me.

My current memory of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is far from enough.

Just as I was thinking about this, I arrived at the bedroom and saw two maids waiting anxiously.

"Gege."

Both Ruyi and Shunxin are loyal.

Ruyi is lively and has a strong ability to get information, while Shunxin is careful, low-key and also has medical skills.

Both of them can be brought into the palace.

Huimin then asked, "Would you two like to follow me into the palace?"

When the two heard this, they immediately expressed their determination.

"Princess, I have served you since I was a child, and I want to be with you forever."

"Princess, we have to accompany you when you enter the palace, otherwise how can we feel at ease?"

Look at the light shining in the eyes of these two girls.

"it is good."

Huimin responded and held their hands.

Here, the master and servant have a deep affection for each other. In the main room, Xitala is discussing with Ortai about their daughter entering the palace. Parents who love their children will make long-term plans for them.

"This money must not be less. You should add more shops and land. Don't let your daughter suffer any injustice when she enters the palace. Even the dowry that I have saved since I was a child cannot be taken with me."

Xitala counted the silver and shops she was going to take with her.

"I have arranged some people in the palace, who will be transferred to Huimin when the time comes. There are also some secret agents who can also pass on information."

Ortai also said.

The couple couldn't sleep all night because they were worried about their daughter entering the palace.

In the palace

The Queen was discussing the status of several concubines with the Emperor.

"What kind of position does the Zhen Emperor intend to give?"

"Your Excellency? Okay, then I'll let you be my Excellency."

"In addition to the Fucha clan of the Manchu army flag who is a noble lady, the Bortgit clan of the Mongolian army flag is also a noble lady. There are also two noble ladies among the beautiful women of the Han army flag."

"Shen Zishan's official position is higher than Zhen Yuandao's."

The Queen changed the Emperor's mind with just a few words.

"Then I'll give her a sixth-rank official title of Changzai, and give her the title of Wan. The way Zhen smiled... was very beautiful."

After deciding Zhen Huan's position, the emperor casually mentioned:

"What position was given to this daughter of Ortai?"

"She is a sixth-rank official. The Fucha clan of the Manchu military flags came from the Plain White Banner, one of the three upper Manchu banners. The Fucha clan is also a prominent family, while the Xilin Gioro clan is from the Bordered Blue Banner. So they made Fucha a noble lady and Xilin Gioro a official."

The emperor looked at the queen and pondered for a moment.

Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, the queen immediately smiled and said:

"But Xilinjueluo's father is a high-ranking official, and Changzai has wronged her a little. It would be better if the emperor could give her another title."

The emperor smiled and said, "Then give me the word virtuous."

"Xian?" The queen's face froze for a moment. "That's a good title."

————————————————————————

A few days later, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict also arrived at Xilin Gioro Mansion.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Xilinjueluo Huimin, the eldest daughter of Xilinjueluo Ortai, the governor of Jiangsu Province, is to be conferred the title of a sixth-rank official and given the title of Xian.

Huimin closed her eyes. Although she was not a noble lady, she had a title, and the word "Xian" was not bad. Newcomers to the palace should not be too outstanding.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

After the ceremony, Huimin looked at the teaching aunt who was standing beside her.

Xitala also quickly gave her father-in-law a large amount of reward money.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict also introduced with great tact:

"This is Aunt Fanghua, who teaches etiquette in the palace. Aunt Fanghua has extensive experience, and even the Queen Mother praises her highly."

After her aunt bowed, Huimin hurried forward and helped her aunt up with her own hands.

Seeing Huimin was smart and polite, Fanghua nodded approvingly.

He introduced the situation in the palace to Huimin, including the emperor, the empress dowager, the empress, and the harem.

Emphasis was also placed on offspring.

Huimin listened carefully and wrote down the information one by one.

After entering the palace, one must follow the rules, and Huimin also put a lot of effort into learning them.

His seriousness in learning the rules even made Aunt Fanghua praise him.

Time flies by especially fast during busy days.

The night before entering the palace, Huimin and Xitala had a long talk, and both mother and daughter could not sleep.

Xitala also entrusted Huimin with her many years of experience.

"Hui Min, you must remember this time when you enter the palace. The emperor is not only your master, but also your husband. You cannot treat him as a king, otherwise he will unconsciously put you in the position of a subject. The emperor is also a man. If you treat him as your husband, he will also love you more. But you need to grasp the degree of this."

Listening to her mother's instructions, Huimin thought about how her father emphasized that she should remember the emperor's identity, and her mother asked her to remember that the emperor was also her husband. Their starting points were different but both were right. She should be careful in grasping the two identities and make careful choices.

Xitala recalled her daughter's childhood and finally handed Huimin a dowry box.

"The previous dowry cannot be brought into the palace. This is worth 30,000 taels of silver, including silver, silver bills, gold ingots, and gold melon seeds.

I also prepared some shops, farms, fields and so on for you, and the annual income is sent to the palace for you.

After entering the palace, you will need a place to spend money. Your family will send you some every few months."

With so much money, the family must have spent a lot of money this time. Huimin's eyes were red. The banknotes and assets could not only give her something to rely on, but also enable her to live a long life.

"Eniang."

Buried in Xitala's arms, Huimin felt even more reluctant to leave this home.
