The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!

The emperor's selection of concubines has never been the emperor's own business, but a matter for the entire country.

It takes a full six months from the beginning of the talent show to the final selection in the grand hall. The selected women are impeccable in appearance, etiquette and character, but there are always exceptions.

After all, there are some people whom you cannot afford to offend, and even if their etiquette and behavior are not very good, the people in charge of the talent show will turn a blind eye and let them go.

As long as you pass the open audition, preliminary audition and internal audition before the palace selection, you can become a concubine.

Today is the day when concubines enter the palace.

……

Changming Marquis Mansion.

The wife of Marquis Changming is instructing her little daughter.

"Wenxin, after you enter the palace, remember to visit your aunt more often, and listen to your aunt in the palace."

Liu Wenxin was wearing a pink long dress, looking playful and cute, just like a girl of her age should look.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, it is not good to act too maturely. Being lively and cute will be more likable.

After all, no one would be willing to face a lifeless face every day.

"Mom, you've said it many times. I've already remembered it. Don't worry." Liu Wenxin replied impatiently.

What's the point of visiting my aunt? She doesn't care about the affairs of the harem. Besides, she is a concubine dowager, not the empress dowager, and she can't make any decisions. Liu Wenxin kept complaining in her heart.

A few years ago, thirteen-year-old Liu Wenxin met Lu Junze for the first time at a palace banquet and was attracted to him.

After that, she kept clamoring to enter the palace and marry the emperor. Marquis Changming and his wife had only this one daughter, and she was born in an old age and had been spoiled since childhood. There was no choice but to let her enter the palace.

But they all knew that with their daughter's personality, she would suffer if she entered the palace, so they could only ask Changming Hou's sister, the current concubine dowager, to take better care of her.

However, Marquis Changming and his wife did not know that their daughter had great ambitions and was not as innocent as they thought.

Liu Wenxin comforted her mother and lowered her head. The liveliness and cuteness just now disappeared from her face. She entered the palace naturally to gain favor and climb up, otherwise why would she enter the palace?

In addition to the Changming Marquis Mansion, similar scenes appeared in many mansions in Kyoto. Some people asked the women to behave well and strive to win the emperor's favor as soon as possible. Some people asked their daughters to protect their own safety and live well in the palace. Some others entered the palace with various purposes and missions.

……

There are a total of 150 concubines entering the palace today. They have been carefully selected and can be considered the top women in the Great Xia Dynasty.

They are now temporarily living in Chuxiu Palace, and after the palace selection is completed tomorrow, those who stay will have their own place to live.

When more than a hundred women live together, conflicts are inevitable. For example, the concubines started to make trouble as soon as they were put into the Chuxiu Palace.

"No, I want to live here!" said a woman in a light green dress, pointing to the seat near the window.

It is naturally impossible for more than a hundred women to have their own room each. Three people live in one room, and the nanny will not specify which bed each person sleeps in.

There was a woman sitting on the bed by the window. She was wearing a plain long dress and had a pretty face. She stood out even without any special makeup.

"What's your name? Whose daughter are you?" The woman in the light green dress became even more dissatisfied when she saw her face.

The plain-colored woman stood up and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "My father is Zhang Guangbai, the magistrate of Lai County, and my name is Zhang Weimo."

"So you're the county magistrate's daughter. No wonder you're dressed so poorly." The woman in the light green dress said disdainfully, "Get up. I'll take this seat. You can take that bed."

Zhang Weimo nodded and was about to leave when the woman in the light green dress suddenly fell to the ground.

"You dare to push me?!" The woman in the light green dress looked at Zhang Weimo with a face full of grievance.

Zhang Weimo: “I don’t have one.”

"What's going on?" At this time, the nanny outside heard the noise in the room and came in.

"Mammy, Zhang Weimo pushed me!"

The nanny saw the girl falling to the ground and bowed slightly, saying, "Miss Lin."

Lin Yan also stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "Mammy."

"What's wrong with Miss Lin?" asked the nanny.

"Mammy, Zhang Weimo pushed me."

The nanny was stunned when she saw Zhang Weimo's appearance. She walked to Lin Yan and whispered, "Miss Lin, don't forget the Queen's matter."

When Lin Yan heard this, he immediately turned off the engine.

She looked at Zhang Weimo with a magnanimous expression, "I'll let you go this time, but if you dare to mess with me again, I'll punish you."

Zhang Weimo left without saying anything.

The nanny noticed Zhang Weimo's performance and thought of finding a time to tell the Queen Mother.

Although Her Majesty has Lin Yan in her hands temporarily, the Queen also said that Lin Yan is too arrogant and domineering. Although he is easy to control, he can easily offend people and it is difficult to accomplish anything. Zhang Weimo seems to be a good candidate.

"Mammy, when will the Queen come to see me?" Lin Yan asked the mammy while pulling her aside.

The nanny shook her head in her heart. This Miss Lin was really impatient. She started offending people as soon as she entered the palace. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to accomplish anything.

"Ms. Lin, the Queen is very busy. You will be able to see her during the palace selection tomorrow."

Lin Yan pursed his lips and said, "Okay."

"Miss, please have a rest. I will take my leave now."

"Take care, Ma'am." Lin Yan bowed slightly.

The nanny was very satisfied with this. It seemed that he was not too stupid and could still be saved.

The palace fears most those who are self-righteous and unwilling to change.

The farce in this room was seen by one person. Liu Wenxin stood beside the bed, watching the show opposite with an unknown smile on his face.

"They are all a bunch of idiots."

She was not worried at all about the palace maids who entered the palace this time. She thought that they were either mentally ill or had no one to rely on. What she was worried about was those in the harem.

However, since Liu Wenxin has chosen to enter the palace, she must be the best one and never be inferior to others.

Liu Wenxin looked up in the direction of Fengyi Palace. If others could sit, she, Liu Wenxin, could sit too.

……

"Xingyue, is today the day for concubines to enter the palace?" Gu Shijin was reading a book and suddenly asked when he heard the noise outside.

Xingyue was fanning Gu Shijin, and said, "Yes, I encountered it today."

"They are all beautiful, right?" Gu Shijin said with a smile. The women selected into the palace must be beautiful.

"But she's not as pretty as you, my lady." Xingyue praised.

"It will make me happy."

"My slave is telling the truth."

Gu Shijin raised his head and looked outside the house, concentrating for a moment, and said, "That's great, but it's a pity..."

"My lady, what did you say?" Xingyue didn't hear clearly what Gu Shijin said.

It’s great that I’m still at the best age.

Unfortunately, once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea, and you may no longer be able to enjoy the leisure time you had before.

In Zhuqiangwa Courtyard, thousands of ghosts are wailing.
