Therefore, Lin Mei no longer went to look for Aunt Xu, but instead actively went out to look for various connections.

In fact, not only Lin Mei, but even Hong Zhu and others who were stable before also wanted to serve the young lady, but they had no way because they had no connections.

They are not as bold as Lin Mei who would flatter others and build relationships with them, so they can only do nothing.

Baiyin also asked Chuntao if she wanted to serve the young lady.

Chuntao wanted to go, after all, who doesn't want to climb up the social ladder? She didn't want to be a maid forever. But she knew she had it in her head, and it was not her turn to do such things.

She was just a lowly maid sweeping the imperial gardens. She had no connections and no money. The servants of the new ladies who came to the palace were very popular, so how could she possibly get her turn?

Moreover, because of this incident, the palace maids and eunuchs are now fighting fiercely, and all kinds of calculations are emerging one after another. She doesn't want to be involved and be plotted against by someone.

It is better for them to stay away from these disturbances for now, so as not to be affected.

She also persuaded Baiyin not to fight for this and to work honestly. After all, they were still young and had just entered the palace, so there was no need to rush.

Time passed little by little, and the selection was soon over. Lin Fuqiu was chosen to enter the palace just like in her previous life, and then went home to wait.

When she returned to Dingde Hou, everyone knew that her entry into the palace was a foregone conclusion, so no one was surprised that she was chosen. They were just curious about what position she would be given.

Generally speaking, the rank of newly conferred concubines like them would not be too high. Even though their family was a marquis's mansion and their family background was decent, Lin Fuqiu was a concubine's daughter, so it was enough for her to be conferred the rank of Baolin for the first time.

Baolin's rank was of the sixth grade, which was considered a low rank. Below her were the imperial concubines of the seventh grade and the concubines of the eighth grade. However, concubines were generally given this rank to palace maids who were favored by someone.

Although they had a clue in their minds, Marquis Dingde and Lin Ziyu both hoped that Lin Fuqiu's position could be higher.

Although Lin Fuqiu was a concubine's daughter, for Marquis Dingde, no matter whether she was a legitimate daughter or a concubine's daughter, they were all his daughters, and he naturally hoped that his daughters would have a better life in the palace. And no matter which daughter was more favored by the emperor, it was the same to him.

Although he sent his daughters to the palace to have children for the legitimate daughter, this was for the sake of the entire Marquisate. He had never thought of taking Lin Fuqiu's life, but instead hoped that the two daughters could support each other in the palace, which would be better for their Marquisate.

But Lady Zhao, the wife of Marquis Dingde, was different. She hoped that Lin Fuqiu's rank would be as low as possible, even lower than Baolin, and that she would be best named a royal concubine. If it weren't for the title of Cai Nu being given to palace maids, she would have hoped that Lin Fuqiu would be directly named the lowest-ranking Cai Nu.

In her heart, Lin Fuqiu was just a tool for her daughter to have children. After she gave birth to the child, this person would no longer need to exist.

Although she was allowed to enter the palace, in Zhao's heart, Lin Fuqiu, a lowly concubine, was not worthy of serving the emperor, and the children she gave birth to were all of low rank.

If her Furong hadn't been injured, how could she have wanted a child born from a lowly person like her?

In other words, although it was Zhao and others who decided to have Lin Fuqiu enter the palace, Zhao also hated her very much because she was going to enter the palace.

All I can say is that some people are really seriously ill.

The few days that Lin Fuqiu spent back home were the most comfortable time she had ever had in the Marquis' Mansion.

Because she was going to enter the palace, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion did not dare to neglect her and treated her with more respect than anyone else. In order to make her listen to Lin Furong voluntarily after entering the palace, Zhao treated her very well and asked about her well-being every day.

If Lin Fuqiu didn't know her true identity, she might have been fooled by her.

When the imperial edict came down, as expected, Lin Fuqiu was conferred the title of Baolin of the sixth rank.

Although Dingde Hou regretted not getting a higher position, he was satisfied. Everyone in the mansion was beaming with joy, except Zhao.

Although she knew that Lin Fuqiu would generally be named Baolin, she was still unwilling when she heard this.

Although the imperial edict was sent, the palace did not require them to enter the palace immediately. The emperor was kind and allowed them time to prepare, and they would enter the palace in order of their status.

For example, if she was conferred the title of Baolin, she could enter the palace tomorrow; if she was conferred the title of Cairen, she could enter the palace the day after tomorrow; and if she was conferred the title of Meiren, she could enter the palace three days later.

Of course, there were also those who were named imperial concubines, and they would attack on the same day.

Afterwards, the Dingde Marquis' Mansion sent people out to inquire about the news.

Because there were few mistresses in the harem and this was the first beauty contest since the emperor ascended the throne, nearly fifteen people were chosen to enter the palace at once.

If the emperor had not strongly refused, I'm afraid there would be more people chosen to enter the palace.

Among the beauties selected this time, the one with the highest rank was awarded the rank of a fourth-rank beauty, and that person was Gao Manli.

She was the only one who was conferred the title of beauty, probably because of the Queen Mother's favor.

There were three people who were conferred the title of Talented Women, namely the sister of Concubine Xian, the legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor, and the daughter of the Duke of Ying.

The person who was given the most titles was Baolin, and there were seven people in total including Lin Fuqiu.

There were four other women who were named imperial concubines. They were all daughters of minor officials. Xu Wanxin was named an imperial concubine.

When Lin Fuqiu learned about this, she was surprised for a while. After all, in her previous life, Xu Wanxin was also named Baolin like her.

In her previous life, she was the only daughter of a minor official who was named Baolin, but she attracted a lot of attention. Because of this, she was bullied by others openly and covertly after entering the palace.

Lin Fuqiu was also bullied a lot because she was close to her.

In this life, even her initial position had changed, and she had become a royal concubine. Could it be that this change happened because she had not tricked me into being her friend?

But Lin Fuqiu was very happy about this change.

Firstly, it shows that things can be changed, and secondly, it is because Xu Wanxin, the enemy, has a low status.

I guess Xu Wanxin must be very annoyed at this time. After all, she has always had a high opinion of herself and thinks she is the best among all the beauties.

She thought that the only difference between her and them was her family background. If she had a family background like theirs, she would be much better than them.

Lin Fuqiu only saw Xu Wanxin's true character after their relationship broke down.

But now she has only been given the title of Imperial Concubine, which is not only the lowest rank among all the concubines, but also the same as the daughters of other minor officials.

Although this situation is normal, it is absolutely unacceptable to Xu Wanxin, who always thinks highly of herself.

Lin Fuqiu was right. Xu Wanxin was indeed very angry now.

Because she came from another place to participate in the talent show, she did not leave the palace after the talent show, but returned to Chuxiu Palace.

When the imperial edict came, she heard that she was only conferred the title of a royal concubine, the same as the daughters of minor officials. The smile on her face froze.

Originally, she was looking forward to being conferred some kind of title. Although she also wanted to be conferred a title like a beauty, she knew that this was impossible due to her humble family background. However, she still had some expectations in her heart.

According to her guess, she was at least a Baolin, or possibly a talented person. She didn't expect that what she waited for in the end was just a royal concubine.

Her face was full of disbelief. It was obvious that the Emperor had asked her questions during the palace selection, which was something that none of the other concubines around her had asked. The Emperor must have liked her, so how could she be just a concubine of the lowest rank?

She couldn't accept it and was extremely angry, thinking that everyone was making fun of her.

In fact, no one was laughing at her. Everyone felt that she deserved this position, but she just thought so because she thought highly of herself.

Instead, it was because her expression formed a sharp contrast with that of the other people who received the order that she attracted the attention of others.

After all, everyone was smiling; she was the only one with an ugly look on her face. Moreover, everyone had stood up while she was still standing there in a daze.

Xu Wanxin recovered from her anger and realized belatedly that everyone was looking at her.

She quickly adjusted her expression, then stood up from the ground and, like everyone else, gave the eunuch a tip, saying, "I am so happy that I don't know what to do. Please don't blame me, eunuch."

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict accepted the reward without caring whether she was too happy or not.
