What the royal family cares about is women of pure virginity.

If it were modern times, it wouldn’t matter. People are free to fall in love and marry.

But this feudal society won’t work!

Although Hua Jin gave her body to Xuanyuan Jin and was going to marry Xuanyuan Jin, her loss of virginity before marriage was also detrimental to her character and conduct.

In those backward villages among the people, they will be thrown into pig cages.

Needless to say, as for the royal family, even if the emperor finally agreed to let Xuanyuan Jin marry her, she would never be able to become the principal wife. Hua Jin would definitely not be willing to be a concubine.

So she mentioned this to let Hua Jin realize her current situation and not embarrass herself, but her words undoubtedly violated the taboo of Shi's mother and daughter.

"What do you mean? Jin'er goes to every palace banquet every year." Shi said. If it weren't for Jin'er's performance in the palace in previous years, how could her reputation as the number one talented woman be so loud.

"When it comes to music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, which rich girl can compete with Jin'er!" Shi was extremely proud of her daughter.

This year for sure!

She was also counting on Jin'er to win the first prize this year and get the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to look at her differently. Maybe then the marriage would be possible?

The Third Aunt looked down on them. Ha! What she said was not as good as what she sang. She didn't know what kind of person Hua Jin was. She was good at playing the zither and dancing, but she was not good at chess. She was good at painting, but she was not good at poetry. She always paid a lot of money to find someone to help her. Hua Jin just wrote it herself and presented it to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, thus gaining the reputation of a talented woman.

Hua Yun and Hua Ying also knew the ins and outs of this. Hua Jin's elegance and gentleness were all pretended. They privately looked down on her at all, not to mention that they acted as if they were superior to them.

The Sixth Aunt, as usual, reduced her presence and just watched the show.

Hua Jianli shook his head and said, "I don't think so. I think if my eldest sister can't go this year, then father might as well give this opportunity to my fifth sister or sixth sister. Maybe our Prime Minister's Mansion can produce another number one in the capital."

The third aunt nodded. She thought so too, but she didn't dare to respond.

Hua Ying and Hua Yun were eager to try. Hua Ying had been to the palace twice thanks to her uncle's relationship. The prosperity and grandeur there was what she longed for the most.

As a concubine's daughter, Hua Yun had no decent background and she had no chance at all. However, she wanted to go, very much.

Now Hua Jianli's "heartfelt words" have ignited their fighting spirit, and they look expectantly towards the prime minister at the same time.

"What are you talking about? Is it possible for a concubine's daughter to go to a place like the imperial palace?" Shi said angrily. These women were not worthy enough.

What's wrong with a concubine's daughter? What's wrong with a legitimate daughter?

Hua Jianli couldn't stand Shi's face the most. She was not born a legitimate daughter, and under her suppression, the original owner lived a life worse than that of a maid. She was just bullying her because she was weak and powerless.

Hua Jianli ignored her howling and pointed at the two sisters and said to Hua Tang, "Father, look, my fifth sister is plump and fair; my sixth sister is charming and beautiful. In addition, they are all carefully cultivated by your father. They are well-educated and sensible. They are in their prime years. How can they not be better than those girls from high-ranking officials? Who knows, those princes and nobles may be attracted to the two sisters. If any prince takes a fancy to them, father will have another bargaining chip!"

Hua Jianli’s meaning: If you want to catch more fish, you have to cast the net more often.

You can’t fish to death on a carp.

Still an old carp that is not doing well.

The Third Aunt gently pushed Hua Yun, and Hua Yun stepped forward and bowed in a standard way, "Father, I am willing to share your worries."

Since Hua Jianli has already opened a path for them, they just need to move forward.

"Father, Yingying too!" Huaying was also tactful and bowed respectfully to Huatang.

The two women were so shy, gentle and proper that Hua Tang couldn't help but take a few more glances at them. He had already made up his mind.

Indeed, what Xiao Qi said makes sense. As the saying goes, different people have different tastes. Who knows whether the princes can fall in love with their own daughters? Maybe the turtle is attracted to the mung bean?

Shi’s mother and daughter were stunned by this scene. What was going on?

Huatang really began to ponder.

Hua Jin couldn't understand why her father believed Hua Jianli's lies.

These two ugly guys dare to be called well-educated and well-mannered. Don't let this bring shame upon you instead of earning a reputation.

"Master, don't listen to Xiao Qi's nonsense. This concubine's daughter has no qualifications to enter the palace. If she accidentally offends a noble in the palace, the responsibility will be borne by you and me." Shi reminded that Hua Yun and Hua Ying rarely entered the palace. If they made a mistake rashly...

"What you said makes sense. I still need to think about this matter!" Hua Tang waved his hand and asked them to be quiet.

Hua Ying and Hua Yun were very happy: Then you think about it carefully.

Huaying was sensible and quickly stepped forward to pour tea for Huatang.

Hua Jianli didn't care, but Hua Jin couldn't sit still. They called Hua Jianli over, not to talk about these things.

Her original intention was to have her father punish her, but things turned out to be out of control.

"Don't worry, father. Yingying will listen to you." Huaying held the teacup in both hands and handed it to Huatang with a respectful attitude, neither flattering nor fawning.

When she is serious, she looks like a lady from a noble family. If you look closely, she looks prettier and her figure is not as plump as before. Very good!

"Not bad!" Hua Tang said two words.

Hua Jianli automatically understood this as: it can be sold at a good price!

"Yun'er too!" Hua Yun was not willing to be left behind. She showed her charming look and looked at him with burning eyes.

Looking at the two expectant eyes, Hua Tang nodded subconsciously, "Well, if the emperor still does not allow Jin'er to enter the palace, then your father will have no choice but to let you take his place."

Hua Jin's eyes widened red, "Father!"

"Master, that's not possible!" Shi retorted. If there is one, there will be two. If a concubine's daughter can replace the legitimate daughter, then what status will her Jin'er have in the future?

"Master, after all, the source of this matter is still the letter of broken engagement. Let's explain it clearly to the emperor. Jin'er and the fourth prince were just emotional but polite, and there was no deep emotional exchange. I believe that the emperor is not an unreasonable person..." Shi said, blinking at Hua Jin.

Hua Jin got the hint and knelt in front of Hua Tang, "Father, Jin'er and the Fourth Prince were just talking about poetry and songs, and they didn't do anything that violated the rules. Please understand, father."

Speaking of the broken engagement letter, one cannot help but think of Hua Jianli. It was she who shouted "catching the adulterer" that night, it was she who slapped the Fourth Prince in the face, and it was she who wrote the broken engagement letter...

If she had shown mercy, the Prime Minister's Mansion would not have lost face.

Now, Jin'er is disliked by the emperor because of this matter, and Hua Jianli cannot escape the blame.

Hua Tang was successfully led astray by Shi, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Hua Jianli.

"Father, why are you looking at me? Actually, the reason why my elder sister cannot enter the palace is not entirely because of the letter of withdrawal of engagement. The letter of withdrawal of engagement is only one of the reasons, but it is not enough to make the emperor hate my elder sister."

If they knew that Hua Jin would never be able to join the royal family in this life, I wonder if they would go crazy.
