Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!

"I have a concubine sister who is fifteen years old and is in time for this year's selection."

Shi Nanxi put down the teacup, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with some emotion:

"Speaking of which, I am four years older than her. I spent a lot of time recuperating at the farm, so we didn't spend much time together. Now that I've been in the palace for three years, I don't know what she looks like now."

This seemed to be just an exclamation, but the smart people had already understood the hidden meaning of Shi Nanxi's words, and everyone looked at each other silently.

Rong Fei, who had just been kindly reminded, was the first to speak:

"Your Highness is a noble lady, so God has given you so many tests. Now you are the Imperial Concubine Xian, the Emperor loves you, and your body has recovered. Your blessings are still to come!"

Chengpin had lived a very comfortable life under the care of Concubine Xian in the past two years, and she quickly followed up and said:

"That's right. Your Majesty is virtuous and kind, and everyone in the Qing Dynasty knows this. As for your concubine's sister, with your status, she will definitely be able to find a good marriage, and her husband's family will also look up to her."

"Our harem is now peaceful and harmonious, thanks to the blessing of the queen."

There was a burst of flattery and praise from the audience. Shi Nanxi smiled. She had already revealed her attitude in public and hoped that some people would be more sensible.

Concubine Hui's eyes flickered slightly, and she quietly gave up her plan to add someone to the harem. Concubine Xi looked up from her newly dyed nail polish and suddenly said:

"I wonder how Concubine Yi is doing? I heard that her brother's youngest daughter is also participating in the selection this time?"

"It seems so. I heard her name is Guo Luoluo Baozhu. She is only fourteen years old this year. It is said that she not only looks like Concubine Yi, but also has the same personality, straightforward and generous."

The person who answered the phone was Concubine Min. Everyone was a little surprised. However, considering that Wu Da Ying had been demoted, Concubine Min was the only one with the highest rank in Yonghe Palace. It seemed that she was also beginning to move closer to Concubine Xian.

Minrui met everyone's gazes and smiled slightly. Although she didn't have any big ambitions, there had to be someone to support Yonghe Palace, otherwise she would be looked down upon whenever she went out.

At this time, Concubine Su looked at Concubine Jing.

"Speaking of Princess Baozhu, Noble Lady Jing knows her best among us."

When Lady Jing was suddenly mentioned, a strange look flashed across her slightly lowered eyes, and then she raised her head and said respectfully:

"To reply to the ladies, Baozhu does have some of her younger sister's demeanor, but compared to her younger sister, she is only fourteen years old and not as steady. She still needs to learn more from her younger sister."

After hearing this, everyone speculated secretly that this meant that the Guo Luoluo family really intended to send Guo Luoluo Baozhu into the palace. It seemed that Concubine Yi would not be able to hold on for much longer.

But why didn't the Guo Luoluo Mansion choose Concubine Jing, a better candidate, to replace Concubine Yi, but instead chose a younger princess?

And what was Concubine Jing thinking? Did she really want to be in the palace for so many years only to be dominated by her teenage niece?

They looked at Concubine Jing vaguely, but Concubine Jing lowered her head and her expression could not be seen.

Shi Nanxi picked up the teacup, and a gleam of light flashed quickly in her eyes.

When Concubine Jing poisoned Concubine Yi, it was not only to avenge her little prince, but also to remove the huge obstacle of Concubine Yi and ascend to the throne. How could she let Guo Luoluo Baozhu reap the benefits?

She would not allow Guo Luoluo Baozhu to enter the palace smoothly, and Kangxi would not do the same. He really regarded the harem as his own home. When one daughter died, he sent a niece into the palace.

After taking a sip of tea, Shi Nanxi put down the teacup and the smile on her face deepened.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to the Cining Palace to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager."

Everyone then moved to the Cining Palace.

Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager has become more and more reclusive in the past two years. She basically ignores worldly affairs except for the Fifth Prince. She even mentioned the matter that Wu promised yesterday with just a few words. Everyone talked and chatted, and it was almost time to pay their respects.

"Okay, I'm tired, let's go, Lady Jing, please stay."

Everyone looked at each other and knew that the Empress Dowager was going to talk about Concubine Yi. After all, the Empress Dowager was raising the Fifth Prince, so they all tactfully withdrew.

After everyone left, the Empress Dowager waved her hand, and Concubine Jing stood up, lowered her head and walked over, saying softly:

"The Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother held Lady Jing's hand and patted it gently. She looked at her lovingly and said with pity:

"Good boy, you have been wronged."

Just a simple sentence, but Lady Jing's eyes turned red. She pursed her lips, suppressed her tears, and whispered:

"Noble Concubine Xian is virtuous and generous. She manages the palace in perfect order, and I have never been wronged."

"Noble Concubine Xian's child is indeed good. I misunderstood her back then. Now it seems that the emperor has good taste."

The Empress Dowager nodded in agreement with Concubine Jing's words. Then, without lowering her hand, she looked at Concubine Jing with tolerance and said slowly:

"As for the grievance I mentioned, it's not about this, but Concubine Yi's choice."

Hearing this, Lady Jing's slightly drooping eyelashes trembled violently.

Seeing Concubine Jing's reaction, the Empress Dowager sighed.

"I don't know what happened between you sisters. But the Fifth, Ninth, and Eleventh Princes are all grown up. They don't need a little princess to come into the palace to take care of them. But Concubine Yi won't have much time left. You should bear with it for a while. The Emperor and I know what's going on."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Jing nodded obediently. When she came out of the Cining Palace, Nian'er looked at the silent young lady and couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"My lady, the Empress Dowager has said so. No matter how much Concubine Yi insists, you don't have to worry about Princess Baozhu anymore. Aren't you happy?"

Happy?

A hint of coldness flashed in Concubine Jing's eyes. What was there for her to be happy about? It took her two years to finally get her revenge and she was about to get the promotion she longed for, but at the last minute, Guo Luoluo Baozhu showed up to take advantage of her.

As expected of Concubine Yi, she suddenly avoided her before the selection and let Baozhu from her eldest brother's family enter the palace to participate in the selection. Was she suspecting her?

Nian'er became more and more confused as she didn't hear the young lady's answer for a long time. At this time, she heard the young lady's words.

What? Concubine Yi suspected them? She turned pale with shock.

Lady Jing looked calm:

"What are you afraid of? If she dared to reveal this matter, she would have revealed it long ago. But she doesn't dare!"

"Why, why not?" Nian'er was a little slow to react and even stuttered when speaking.

Concubine Jing suddenly stopped, and Nian'er stopped right after her. Concubine Jing's eyes were calm, but there was a feeling that made people's scalp tingle.

"Because she is afraid that her deeds of harming Yin? will also be exposed, now she can only choose to swallow this bitter fruit secretly, but she is unwilling to do so, so she asked the family to send the pearl to the palace, hoping that my efforts will be in vain."

It was really cruel. The only trace of guilt left in her heart disappeared completely. She would never be soft-hearted again.

Lady Jing turned around abruptly and took another step with a determined look on her face.

On the other side, when Shi Nanxi returned to Chuxiu Palace, Xiao Ruzi came forward with a bad look on his face and reported:

"Your Highness, the Emperor is here, and your concubine sister is here too."

Shi Nanxi raised her eyebrows, got off the sedan chair and walked towards the door.
