The Destiny of Going to Hell

Chapter 3: The Legend of Zhen Huan - Shen Meizhuang 3

Let me write this at the beginning. The author is a bit slow, so it may sound like a running account. I am not sure if this will be corrected in the following stories. If you can't bear to read it, just leave. This is a work for my own amusement.

"They are all vulgar."

"Nothing may be perfect. The emperor has to consider the royal heir." The emperor and the empress dowager were talking here.

The Queen Mother thought An Lingrong was polite, and the Emperor thought Xia Dongchun had interesting names, so they were both selected. Then the young eunuch called out the names of the seventeen-year-old daughter of Shen Zishan, the assistant governor of Jeju.

"Your servant Shen Meizhuang pays homage to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. May the Emperor live long and have good health, and the Empress Dowager be in good health and happiness." The voice, as gentle as the song of an oriole, flowed into Yinzhen's heart like a trickling mountain spring, soothing his irritable mood that had been caused by sitting for so long.

Shen Meizhuang asked in her heart: Xiaowu, are all the things we have in the heroine's department still usable? If they can be used, give me a love at first sight halo and designate the person as Yinzhen.

Xiao Wu answered cheerfully: "Hosts who can use it, put on the halo now, success is guaranteed!"

The emperor was slightly interested, and the eighteen pieces in his hand stopped spinning. "Raise your head."

As that stunningly beautiful face appeared before his eyes, the emperor's heart seemed to be gripped by something.

Brilliant as spring flowers, bright as autumn moon, graceful and elegant, light and graceful. She is proud of her peerless beauty and charming figure.

Looking at this bright, yet gentle and lively face of a beauty, Yinzhen's heart was deeply moved.

The Queen Mother asked, "Have you ever read any books?"

Shen Meizhuang replied: "I have read the Rules and Precepts for Women carefully and have a basic knowledge of literature." When the Queen Mother heard that she was well-versed in the Rules and Precepts for Women, she thought that she was a person who understood etiquette and followed the rules, but she frowned when she thought of her extravagant appearance.

Yinzhen felt more at ease listening to Tong Wenmo.

"Oh? Whose poem do you like best?"

Shen Meizhuang replied calmly, "I like Su Shizhan's poems the most. Reading them makes me feel open-minded."

The emperor laughed loudly, "Yes, she is different from other women. I'll leave her name tag."

The empress dowager wanted to open her mouth to stop him but she remembered that the emperor had only chosen two people out of so many and that Xia Dongchun was chosen out of spite of her. Although Shen Meizhuang was extremely beautiful, she was also well-mannered and tactful. Entering the palace would also be able to share the pressure that Concubine Hua put on the Queen, so she kept silent.

Zhen Huan felt very uncomfortable listening to the Emperor and Shen Meizhuang's question and answer conversation. The sentence "She is different from other women" really hurt her.

She was a female Zhuge Liang, and if she was different from others, she was the one who should come. Why did it fall on Shen Meizhuang, who was inferior to her in everything when she was a child? So when the eunuch called out her name, she pretended not to hear it.

The young eunuch frowned and continued to sing, "Zhen Huan, the daughter of Zhen Yuandao, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is seventeen years old~"

Zhen Huan quickly knelt down and straightened her skirt. "Your humble servant Zhen Huan pays respects to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. May the Emperor and the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health and happiness."

"Zhen Huan? Which character "Huan"? " Yinzhen asked with interest.

"Hanhuan, a waist that stretches like a slender Chu palace, is exactly the maiden name of this minister."

"It's Cai Shen's poem. He is well versed in poetry and literature. Zhen Yuandao has a good way of educating his daughter. I just don't know if you are worthy of this name."

The empress dowager almost rolled her eyes when she heard the conversation between the two. What kind of good person teaches his daughter to say obscene words in public?

Forget it, it’s not the Fourteenth Master who chooses the person.

"Keep your head up."

A face that resembled Chun Yuan made Yin Zhen stunned on the spot. The Queen Mother was also very surprised when she saw this face. Knowing how destructive Chun Yuan was, she immediately said, "The concubine's surname is Zhen, which violates the emperor's name."

Zhen Huan immediately argued, "Your Majesty, when my father was an official, Emperor Kangxi saw my father's name and said Zhen sounded good, because it sounded like a loyal man. He took this as an encouragement."

Shen Meizhuang secretly complained in her heart, look, this is the Zhen Huan who is unwilling to participate in the selection.

Violating the emperor's name would only result in her being disqualified from the selection, and it would not implicate her family or her future marriage, so why was she so impatient to argue with the empress dowager?

He even made up a story about Kangxi's approval? Who without the ability could have seen this minor official and praised him?

The emperor looked at Zhen Huan for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses. "There are two beautiful Qiao sisters in Jiangnan and Zhen Mi in Hebei." Seeing the emperor like this, the empress dowager felt uneasy.

Seeing that he was eloquent and had a soft face, he might cause a lot of trouble for the queen if he entered the palace, so he said, "Come forward."

The Queen Mother had tea thrown at her and cats thrown at her to scare her, but Zhen Huan remained calm and unmoved, without losing any manners. Seeing that Sun Miaoqing was about to scream, Shen Meizhuang quickly asked 555 to block her voice.

Just think of it as a kind heart. Sun Miaoqing was not the only one who suffered because of her impoliteness in front of the palace and was not selected. Zhen Huan's words that those who wanted to stay could not stay and those who did not want to stay stayed were really ironic.

The Queen Mother raised her lips slightly to make up for her behavior, "It's quite decent."

"Her waist is slender and graceful. Spring is coming, and her fragrance and beauty will fade. The feng shui of the Forbidden City is good for people, and it will not make you fade away."

Yinzhen stared at Zhen Huan as he spoke every word, as if he was recalling the way Chunyuan passed away. Wasn't this sentence Yinzhen's way of compensating Chunyuan?

Chunyuan may not necessarily want such disgusting compensation, but it is better to say that it is compensation for Chunyuan than compensation for himself.

When he was a prince, he couldn't keep Chun Yuan. Now that he is a wealthy emperor, can't he save the life of a little girl?

Shen Meizhuang laughed secretly in her heart. Who wouldn't the man-eating dog of the Forbidden City bite? Feeding people? The ones they feed are always the emperor, the empress dowager, and the top of the power.

After leaving the house, Shen Meizhuang left quickly as she didn't want to stay and argue with Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan originally wanted to find Shen Meizhuang to express her sadness about being selected, and also wanted to win her over to avoid being outnumbered when entering the palace. But when she came out, there was no trace of Shen Meizhuang.

Zhen Huan didn't even think about the fact that Shen Meizhuang said such embarrassing words at the beginning just to distance herself from Zhen Huan. How could she agree to form an alliance with her?

Shen Meizhuang may be planning to fight against everyone in the harem alone.

All we can say is that Zhen Huan was too conceited, thinking that she could succeed based on the friendship they had met several times in childhood and her own eloquence.

Even if Shen Meizhuang has no attachment to him at all, it is better for the two of them to form a party than to associate with strangers, right?
