Traveling through the Legend of Zhen Huan: My Queen, please love me!

In August of the first year of Yongzheng's reign, Tiyuan Hall.

"I thought I had traveled to the Qing Dynasty, but it turned out to be a drama."

Liu Hua was wearing a light pink Manchu dress made of delicate silk that shone slightly in the sunlight.

The neckline is embroidered with an exquisite white orchid pattern, which looks fresh and elegant.

The narrow cuffs, trimmed with a circle of light blue piping, show the girl's slender waist.

A golden hairpin was inserted into her head, and its long tassels swayed gently with her movements, adding a touch of charm. Pearl earrings and a white jade bracelet complemented her temperament perfectly.

At this time, she was disheveled in the wind, and Liu Hua saw a beautiful girl named An Lingrong splashing tea on Xia Dongchun's clothes.

"Whose daughter are you? You poured such hot tea on me, are you trying to kill yourself?"

An angry and arrogant voice sounded, and Xia Dongchun, who was wearing a red and orange Mandarin dress, pointed at a showgirl who was tied up and wearing simple accessories.

"I'm sorry." An Lingrong twisted the handkerchief in her hands and answered timidly.

"I asked you which family you are from?" Xia Dongchun pressed the issue, not letting the other party off the hook.

Liu Hua, who was standing next to him, swallowed his saliva and wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Don't be like this! With my IQ, I can't survive past the second episode of "Empresses in the Palace."

"Sister Xia, you are so magnanimous and not worth getting angry about."

There were two women, one tall and one short. The tall one was as elegant as a chrysanthemum, dignified and graceful. The shorter one was wearing a moon-white and blue Manchu dress, like a green lotus in summer.

Liu Hua was more certain of his current situation, but he still had the hope that he would not be selected.

"After all, there's no mention of a person named Liu Hua in the TV series. Liu Hua, that name is just a minor character in every drama, right?"

Liu Hua covered his heart with his hands and turned his back. He wanted to hide in a corner and calm down.

An Lingrong, wearing a begonia, walked to the same corner, holding the earrings tightly in her hands.

An Lingrong saw this cold and aloof woman, who seemed not of this world, frowning and holding her heart, like a modern-day Xi Shi.

He said with great concern, "Are you feeling unwell, sister?"

Liu Hua felt a little embarrassed to call her "sister". She understood that An Lingrong came from a humble background, so she kept a low status when interacting with others.

Looking at the begonias above her head, she sighed inwardly, "An Lingrong is good at making fragrances, which is why she attracts butterflies. But she feels inferior and always thinks it's all Zhen Huan's work."

"I'm not going to be in the talent show anyway, so I might as well help them."

So Liu Hua replied: "Nothing, I'm just a little excited."

"I thought only people like me from a small family would be excited here."

"An Xiunu is joking. My father is the head of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and my family background is not good either."

An Lingrong's tense body relaxed a lot after hearing this. She quickly supported Liu Hua and comforted her, "It's okay, sister. With this appearance, you will definitely be chosen."

Liu Hua retorted in his mind: "Don't get elected, don't get elected, being a single aristocrat in the new century is pretty good.

If my dad hadn't taken the talent show so seriously, I wouldn't have been able to escape it, and I might never have discovered that I was in a drama.

It doesn’t matter, my dad dotes on me very much.

If she fails in the selection, she will definitely be the legal wife if she marries into a middle-class family."

Looking at An Lingrong's pitifully few jewelry, Liu Hua felt pity.

After all, when I first watched the drama, the most pitiful thing about her was that An Lingrong played a bad hand so well, but only lived for herself once until her death.

Liu Hua took out two double-tasseled jade butterfly hairpins from her head and inserted them into An Lingrong's bun.

An Lingrong looked at Liu Hua gratefully, waved her hands, and cautiously refused, "Sister, I can't accept it."

Liu Hua leaned over to her ear and said, "I had no intention of choosing a concubine. I'm afraid it would be a waste if I, a rough man, wore her."

After some pulling, An Lingrong accepted the two hairpins from Liu Hua, stroking them from time to time and smiling sweetly at Liu Hua.

The palace steward came to deliver the message,

"The time has come, please enter the pavilion, ladies."

These bright young women walked into the pavilion in an orderly manner, in groups of ten, two in a row and five in a row.

Meeting the Emperor today and becoming his concubine for the whole day is a dream that has been experienced by countless people.

I'm afraid only Liu Hua and Zhen Huan thought about not being chosen.

Yinzhen sat on a high platform, playing with green jade Buddhist beads in his hand. The empress dowager sat beside him with a solemn expression, and the nanny next to him was holding a snow-white cat.

Everyone gradually lowered their heads, only Liu Hua stared at the white cat intently. The long, smooth white fur and the glass-like eyes made her love it deeply, reminding her of the cat at her mother's house.

The cat always knocks over the daylilies that Mom planted.

Liu Hua was recalling the past, and his absent-minded behavior was noticed by Yinzhen on the high platform. Yinzhen thought Liu Hua was very interesting among the group of beautiful girls.

"At this time, due to the majesty of the royal family, many concubines did not dare to look up. This concubine was bold, but she did not stare at me."

Only when the concubines began to introduce themselves did Liu Hua come to his senses and take a deep breath.

But when she came, she was so nervous that she stammered, "I am... the daughter of Liu Man, the head of the Imperial Household Department, and my name is... Liu Hua."

The eyes of the other women in the same row were slightly startled. The Empress Dowager, who was at the head of the group, heard the name "Liu Man" and pretended to scold him, "How come you have forgotten your manners? You can't even speak smoothly in front of me and the Emperor?"

Although Liu Hua was told by Liu Man not to worry too much before the audition, he was facing the cannibalistic imperial power.

She knelt down with a thud, saying, "Your servant knows your fault, your servant knows your fault."

There was a moment of silence at the top. Liu Hua looked up cautiously and saw the emperor's interested eyes.

Yinzhen looked at the beautiful woman in front of him whose voice was cold but whose eyes were silly. Thinking of the turmoil in the harem, his heart calmed down unconsciously.

Tolerantly said: "Do you like cats very much?"

Liu Hua was struggling to decide whether to give a specific answer or just admit his mistake. Yinzhen noticed the conflict on his face.

He smiled gently and said, "Don't be afraid. Answer me carefully."

"I just like new things."

"Hahahahahaha" Yinzhen's hearty laughter came out,

"I suppose if I let you into the palace, you're also a novelty?"

Liu Hua's pupils trembled, and he thought to himself: "No way, no way, you are interested in someone like me."

Yinzhen looked at Liu Hua's stunned expression and thought he was shocked by the news.

He gestured to the eunuch next to him, who shouted, "Liu Hua, the daughter of the Imperial Household Department's Baoyi Supervisor, is given a name tag and a sachet."

Liu Hua followed a row of beautiful girls out of the pavilion in a daze and rested in a room next to Yanhui Pavilion.

Even though the entire audition process was extremely long, Liu Hua just mechanically ate the cakes and drank tea after finishing the cakes.

I am full of worries about my future. I don’t feel any joy, but sadness instead.

After the selection was over, she walked out of the palace gate in silence. The carriage her family had arranged for her was waiting there. Two maids and two servants rushed towards her, saying happily, "Miss, you've finally been chosen!"

Liu Hua smiled awkwardly. She knew very well that although her father was not of high status, her mother was from a salt merchant family and was very wealthy.

So even though the status of a baoyi is not high, this baoyi lady can dress so well.

Liu Hua immediately wanted to go home. He missed his father and the sofa his father had customized for him. In the blink of an eye, he saw An Lingrong cowering in the corner.

When An Lingrong went to Beijing this time, she only brought a concubine and a maid, and she did not have enough money.

Liu Hua thought, "She's already close to An Lingrong. Furthermore, with her status and position, she's achieved such great success. She's definitely going to be easy to win over."

Liu Hua secretly noticed that Zhen Huan and others had not looked over here yet, so he quickly walked over to greet her.

An Lingrong saw the girl who had just given her the jade hairpin approaching and said gratefully, "Sister, thank you for the jade hairpin."

Liu Hua explained: "No need to thank me, it's because your fragrance is so good."

An Lingrong was surprised and said, "Sister, how did you know I could make perfume and attract butterflies?"

Liu Hua shifted his focus and said, "Since your carriage hasn't arrived yet, how about you come with me into my house? I'll tell you in the carriage."

An Lingrong was still hesitating, and Liu Hua stared into her eyes and gave her sincere advice:

"With so many people here, I assume the ladies who entered the palace also need carriages to go back, right?"

"Otherwise, after entering the palace, others will not know how to bully you."

When An Lingrong heard the word "bullying", she made up her mind and followed Liu Hua.

Liu Hua explained to her in the car,

"I am the daughter of the Imperial Household Department's Baoyi Supervisor, and I am very familiar with the information in the palace."

An Lingrong's clear almond-shaped eyes were full of admiration.

"Sister is so amazing! Lingrong still relies on you in the palace."
