Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Dong E made all the preparations she could, including deliberately distancing herself from Concubine Rong.

The reason why she became the Third Concubine in her previous life was because Kangxi wanted to start making use of Dong E.

During the Shunzhi period, because of the trouble caused by Concubine Dong E, the women of the Dong E clan had no good future, and the men of the Dong E clan were also neglected.

The Dong'e clan was divided into several branches and the family was prosperous. Kangxi needed people, so he chose a princess from the Dong'e clan to be the prince's wife. This represented Kangxi's attitude towards the Dong'e clan.

In addition to this consideration, there is another important reason why she could become the Third Lady, that is, she has outstanding appearance. The Third Prince is a very good person, and he likes beautiful women to be around him the most, and he has very high requirements for the appearance of the palace maids around him.

In her previous life, she became the Third Lady because the Third Prince took the initiative to ask Concubine Rong for help. Concubine Rong would always respond to the requests of her only surviving son and asked Kangxi for help. The two of them hit it off immediately.

As for this life!

Dong E looked at her dignified appearance hidden by makeup in the mirror and felt that it did not conform to the Third Prince's pursuit of a beautiful woman.

At the same time, she also asked the palace maids who served Shumulu Gege to guide Shumulu Gege to show many of the characteristics that Rong Fei and the Third Prince liked. It seemed that Shumulu Gege had a greater chance of becoming the Third Prince's wife than her.

For this talent show, Dong E used a lot of connections. It can be said that she calculated everything as much as possible within the scope of safety and was just waiting for the result.

Before entering the palace for re-election, she prayed to God for the first time.

Dong E murmured in the small room: "Since God has allowed me to start over again, I must have taken a different path. I hope everything will go as I wish."

As soon as she finished speaking, a maid knocked on the door and said, "Princess, it's time to enter the palace."

Dong E stood up, straightened her clothes that made her look exceptionally dignified, and looked at herself in the mirror carefully. The person in the mirror was dignified and beautiful, the type of daughter-in-law that Kangxi liked.

Dong E knew that Kangxi felt a little different about the Fourth Prince because he had been raised by Empress Xiaoyi. Now she just hoped that An Ning would not be able to run for election.

In Yanhui Pavilion, An Ning's body has recovered, but the imperial physician said that she is not well yet. She herself also did not want to participate in the selection, so she had to recuperate.

There was a commotion outside early in the morning.

"Chunlan, why are you so noisy?"

"There are many people in the talent show today, so it's inevitable that it's a bit noisy. If the princess feels uncomfortable, I can take her to a secluded place for a walk."

Ordinary princesses cannot visit the palace at will, but An Ning is special! Kangxi said that he would try his best to make An Ning feel comfortable at all times and not let her feel wronged. Chunlan's suggestion was very natural.

An Ning refused immediately. Although she didn't know the detailed rules of the palace, she had read some novels and TV shows about palace fighting before the end of the world. On the day of the selection, she was a convalescent girl. Even if she didn't have to participate in the selection, she was just looking for something to do when she was free! It's not like she was too comfortable during her free time that she had to do this.

"It's better to have some fun. There are too many people here today. It's bound to cause trouble if I go out. So I won't go out."

Chunlan felt it was better if An Ning didn't go out. After all, there would be more troubles where there were many people. She was responsible for An Ning's safety and was under the order of Kangxi, but Kangxi only asked her to protect her secretly. If she really met the master in the palace, she, a palace maid, might not be able to protect An Ning in time.

"It's good that you think so."

An Ning listened to the sporadic noise outside while flipping through the travelogue that Chunlan had taken from the library of Jingyang Palace. It was not very good to read, a travelogue written in semi-vernacular Chinese. If she did not have the original body's memories, she would have found it very difficult to read.

As I ate the snacks that Chunlan brought, I felt the softness on my tongue and felt very comfortable.

There is a lack of everything in the apocalypse, except for the initial period when we could eat normal meals. Afterwards, we really ate everything, and the taste was really unacceptable.

Supplies were scarce, and she only had wood-related abilities, which were not particularly outstanding. Her life was just enough to keep her from starving, but it was not that good.

During these days of recuperation, she didn’t know whether the feng shui of the Forbidden City was beneficial to her, but the imperial kitchen in the Forbidden City was very good for her!

After the audition was over and she returned home, according to her original family background, even if she got married, she would have no worries about food and clothing with her dowry. She didn't have too much ambition and it would be nice to be a rich and idle person for the rest of her life.

As I thought about this, the snack in my mouth became more delicious.

"The princess is very happy. It seems that the snacks are well made. If the princess likes them, I will go to the imperial kitchen and get some back."

"Everything in the imperial kitchen is good. I am not picky about food."

Chunlan thought about An Ning's situation these days and realized that she was indeed not picky about food. Not only that, she also had a very good appetite.

Yanhui Pavilion is in the Imperial Garden, and the selection is also held in the Imperial Garden, but the location is in Jiangxuexuan. Concubine Tong originally arranged for the place to be Yanhui Pavilion, but An Ning was still recuperating here, so the location was changed to Jiangxuexuan.

In the Jiangxue Pavilion, the beautiful girls with military flags are selected first.

It is now the 33rd year of Kangxi's reign. Kangxi is almost 40 years old in terms of age. He has many children, and he usually does not retain the beautiful girls from the Manchu military banners. Therefore, the beautiful girls from the Manchu military banners are basically selected for his sons or clan members.

Kangxi sat in the middle. The person closest to him was Imperial Concubine Tong. Imperial Concubine Wen was ill and could not come. Below him were the four concubines.

Now that the top performers have arrived, the audition can begin.

The beauties came in row after row, and Kangxi would consider whether to keep or discard the names.

Soon it was Dong E's turn, and next to Dong E was Shumulu.

When the two stood together, Shumulu looked even more attractive.

Naturally, both of them had to leave a nameplate because of their family background, so Kangxi just asked a few casual questions and left the nameplate.

In the afternoon, after the selection was over, Concubine Rong was the first to invite him over.

"See the Emperor."

"Get up."

Rong Fei stood up and greeted Kangxi: "Your Majesty, the selection is over today. I wonder how Your Majesty will arrange the selection of the third wife?"

Kangxi originally planned to choose Dong E for Yinzhi, but Shumulu married a member of the royal family, and something unexpected happened with An Ningzhen. Dong E was more dignified and steady, and Kangxi knew that Yinzhi liked girls who were more delicate and pretty.

Moreover, Kangxi privately wanted to give Yinzhen some compensation.

"Are you satisfied?"

Rong Fei had met both Dong E and Shumulu, and knew that her daughter-in-law was between the two. In terms of family background, Dong E was naturally better, but she loved her children more, and Shumulu was better looking, so she hoped that her son and daughter-in-law would get along well.

"I think Princess Shumulu is very good."

Kangxi did not answer her directly, but only said: "I know."

Afterwards, Kangxi said a few simple words and left, and then went to see Concubine Yi.

After leaving Concubine Yi, Kangxi returned to the Qianqing Palace and began to prepare imperial edicts one after another.

The next day, An Ning was still waiting in Yanhui Pavilion to be arranged to go home, but she ended up receiving the imperial edict of Kangxi's enthronement.

The eunuch who announced the decree said a lot of gibberish, and An Ning didn't quite understand a lot of it, but the general meaning was that I think very well of the Ulanara family, and I have granted them special permission to enter the palace as a concubine, with the rank of concubine and the title of Shu.

After hearing the imperial edict, An Ning was completely stunned.

She even avoided the future emperor's backyard, but Kangxi issued an imperial decree to allow her into the current emperor's harem. It was so outrageous.

How to describe this feeling?

I don't know what to do and I'm a little confused.

As far as she knew, Kangxi was a long-lived emperor, but no matter how long he lived, he was already forty years old this year, while his original life was only sixteen.

What's that? We're of different generations!

What should she do in the future? There is not much room for promotion in Kangxi's harem. There are so many princes and princesses, and they have all grown up. She has a good family background now, but Kangxi's harem stipulates that the better the family background, the shorter the life span.

She just wanted to live a peaceful life, and if possible, she hoped to live a better life...

"Ulanara Gege, it's time to receive the order."

The eunuch who announced the decree reminded with a smile.

An Ning immediately came back to her senses, her thoughts returned, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Your Majesty, I accept your order and thank you for your kindness. I was too happy just now. Please forgive me, eunuch."

This eunuch was arranged by Liang Jiugong himself. He vaguely knew that this eunuch was extraordinary and valued by the emperor, so he naturally would not be surprised and immediately said a few words with a smile.

"The Emperor has ordered that the Princess be granted grace and allowed to return home to recuperate for a month. After a month, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will arrange for Concubine Shu to enter the palace. The Emperor has also allowed the Princess to bring a certain amount of dowry into the palace."

After An Ning heard this, the smile on her face became more genuine.

It is difficult to survive in the apocalypse. Now that I have traveled through time, I don’t have to face those zombies every day. It is already good enough to have enough food and drink.

The dowry is good. With it, at least you don’t have to worry about food, clothing and other expenses during your days in the harem.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I'd like to trouble you to thank the Emperor on my behalf."

"You're welcome, Princess."

The two men exchanged a few pleasantries, and the eunuch took the reward and left.

Just when An Ning was still in a daze, Chunlan spoke up: "My lady, just now I received instructions from Chief Steward Liang to let me and Madam Wulan accompany you home. Madam Wulan will be your tutor."

An Ning nodded: "I'll trouble you and Nanny in the future."

"Your Majesty, you are so polite. It is what I should do."
