After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor

In the Jade Butterfly Palace, Wan Ning and her people stood in the courtyard, clapping their hands lightly to make a sound, and the ladies who came to participate in the selection gathered here one after another, led by their maids. Everyone had different expressions, some were very curious about everything here, some had a bit of impatience on their faces, and those who were familiar with each other naturally got close to each other, holding hands and getting together.

"Is everyone here?" Wan Ning tilted her head and asked the nanny next to her.

The nanny quickly glanced at them, and fearing that Wan Ning would blame her, she hunched over and replied, "Princess, we are still short of two people."

"Here we come!" This voice was sweet and clear, with some innocence that easily attracted everyone's attention. At this time, Gao Rulan held Liu Qingyu with one hand, with a sweet smile on her face. The pink blush on her fair cheeks made her look even cuter, and the exquisite braids on her head shook regularly as she ran.

Soon she appeared in front of Wan Ning, her chest heaving due to exercise, sweat oozing from her forehead, and she smiled foolishly at Wan Ning. Liu Qingyu no longer had the arrogance of the past, and immediately let go of Ru Lan's hand, shrinking and standing behind her.

"Beautiful sister, you are here..." Gao Rulan blinked her innocent eyes and greeted Wan Ning enthusiastically.

Without waiting for Wan Ning to respond, the nanny scolded, "Don't be rude. Once you enter the palace, you must abide by the palace rules."

Rulan immediately stood up straight and bowed, but her mischievous character remained unchanged. She secretly winked at Wan Ning the moment she stood up.

"Your Highness Princess Le Yan, all the concubines are here," the nanny reported.

"Thank you for your hard work, Madam." Then Wan Ning raised her hand, and Wan Tao came in with her people and stood opposite the concubine.

"Once again, welcome all the ladies to the Yudie Palace. You will all live here together during the talent show. I believe that you have all seen your rooms now. If you are not satisfied with the decoration of your room, you can decorate it yourself. You can give feedback to Nanny or Zhu Ying about any items you need." Wan Ning looked at Zhu Ying who was standing beside her, and she took a step forward and saluted to the ladies.

"Thank you, Princess, thank you, Madam, and thank you, Zhu Ying," the ladies responded in unison.

"Let me introduce you ladies now," Wan Ning walked up to Mengzhu and took her hand. "This is Princess Mengzhu of Tumo. She will also live here during this period and participate in the talent show. This is Miss Xia... Yun, Princess Mengzhu's personal maid."

Wan Ning almost let it slip that this girl Xiayun was the Concubine Xia of Wuming Palace. According to the original plan, she would be selected as a lady in the selection and eliminated in the early stage of the selection. But later she felt that this method was too risky. If it attracted the attention of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, the consequences would be disastrous. It happened that Mengzhu, as a princess of Tumo, usually lived in seclusion and few people knew about her. Even if there was a stranger next to her, it would not arouse suspicion.

At some point, an embarrassed man with a medicine box in his hand, bent over, staring at the floor, appeared in the corner of the Jade Butterfly Palace. The sudden appearance of a man in this harem immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing the ladies opposite her looking sideways, Wan Ning turned around in surprise and understood instantly. She introduced: "For the health and safety of all the young ladies, we have specially invited the imperial physician Cui Yian to come here every two days to take the pulse and examine the young ladies. If there is an emergency, you can also send a nanny to invite Imperial Physician Cui."

"Thank you, Princess, and thank you, Doctor Cui."

"The wind is blowing hard, ladies, you are all weak, please go back to your rooms quickly. Later, Doctor Cui will check each of you in turn." After a brief thought, Wan Ning added, "Oh, by the way, please choose the right teammates as soon as possible, as tomorrow's activities will be completed by your teammates."

When they heard that they needed to find teammates for the subsequent activities, some were happy and some were worried. Zhang Yu'an, who had known each other before, immediately grabbed Sun Qianjie, secretly delighted, and whispered: "Qianqian, let's go together!"

"Yeah, Sister An, I'm lucky to have you."

Liu Qingyu, who had just arrived, kept a low profile. He timidly touched Gao Rulan's sleeve and whispered, "Rulan...we..."

"Beautiful sister," Gao Rulan blurted out the words. When she saw the livid face of the nanny, she immediately changed the name and said excitedly: "Princess Le Yan, I am in the same group with Sister Qingyu."

Zhang Yu'an held Sun Qianjie's hand, glanced sideways, rolled his eyes in his heart, and silently complained: "One is a fake, the other is mentally retarded, what a match made in heaven."

"Sister An, Liu Qingyu is so lucky. In the past, he got the connection with Miss Du Ruo and took advantage of Prime Minister Du's support to participate in the beauty pageant. Now he's getting close to this little fool, and behind him is the power of Prince Qi." Sun Qianjie was also very unhappy about this, and she muttered to herself.

"I don't know what charm she has. She looks just so-so. Okay, stop talking." Zhang Yu'an accidentally made eye contact with Wan Ning and immediately fell silent, while stopping Sun Qianjie.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment. They had no old friends here, nor did they have the ability to quickly make new friends. The same was true for Mengzhu. She was originally a princess from another country and had her own pride and glory. She was still young and did not take the initiative. I think Prince Mu Xiu asked her to participate in this talent show to make her life here happier.

Seeing her in a dilemma, Wan Ning asked quietly, "Princess Mengzhu, do you have a teammate you like?"

Mengzhu raised her head with the dignity of a princess and shook her head gently. Suddenly, someone in the crowd stretched out her pink and green sleeves, and her snow-white fingers looked particularly dazzling in the weak sunlight, attracting everyone's attention.

"What does this lady mean by raising her hand?" asked the nanny.

"My name is Gu Yanxia. I come here alone to participate in the talent show. I don't know anyone here. Although it may be offensive, I would like to form a team with Princess Mengzhu. I wonder if the princess is willing?" Gu Yanxia put down her raised hand. The people around who were watching the excitement consciously made way for her. She took the opportunity to step forward and stated her request in a dignified manner.

She had a delicate face and a well-proportioned figure. Although her hairstyle was simple and without expensive decorations, it was cleverly designed to complement her image. The dress she wore was neither the latest style nor the old fashion. It looked like she had made it herself and it was unique. As she said, there was no maid to serve her. It seemed that she was alone.

"Gu Yanxia? Is she the daughter of Mr. Gu, the magistrate of Taocheng?" Taocheng is far away from Nanye and close to the border. It is often attacked by foreign enemies in peacetime. It was even more tortured by the war in recent years. It is one of the most turbulent places in Chu State. As the county magistrate of Taocheng, he naturally has to work hard and be more independent in the education of his own children.

"That's right, Princess. Thank you for your concern. If my father knew, he would be so grateful." Gu Yanxia thanked him neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Miss Gu, you are too polite. As a princess, I feel honored to have an official like Lord Gu in Chu State." Wan Ning looked at Meng Zhu who was standing beside her and asked softly, "What do you think of forming a team with Miss Gu, Meng Zhu?"

The two determined gazes intertwined at this moment. Meng Zhu smiled knowingly, turned his head to look at Wan Ning, and replied: "Of course I am willing. Thank you Miss Gu."

Gu Yanxia took two steps forward and stretched out her arms to Meng Zhu in an invitation. Meng Zhu hesitated and handed her her hand, and with her help, she walked from Wan Ning to the crowd of young ladies participating in the talent show.

"Thank you princess for your support."
