Capital city, Xue Mansion.

In the following days, Xue Youli found several anti-wolf secret books from the Book of Heaven, combined theory with practice, and learned self-defense from Xue Wuyou in preparation for entering the palace.

That day, Xue Youli was eating the cherry pancakes Xue Wuyou had bought for her when the steward outside the door hurriedly came to report, "Madam, someone is coming from the palace!"

Jiang Ruyun immediately took Xue Youli out to receive the order.

The leading eunuch looked at the kneeling people and read the imperial edict in a shrill voice, "The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees: Xue Youli, the daughter of the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, a sixth-rank beauty, shall enter the palace on the eighth day of the third lunar month. This is my decree!"

"Your servant accepts the order."

Xue Youli took the decree with both hands and slowly frowned.

She doesn't have much time left, so she has to work harder.

As the saying goes, it’s always good to have many skills.

Before entering the palace, she wanted to get a few more trump cards for herself.

Maybe it can save your life at the critical moment!

?

On the eighth day of March, the palace sent someone to Xue's house to pick someone up.

Jiang Ruyun couldn't bear to leave Xue Youli, and she fought back tears and told her, "Li'er, the palace is not like home. When you enter the palace, you must be careful with your words and actions. Don't try to be the first when encountering problems. Remember to put your own safety first."

As a mother, she doesn't ask her daughter to rise to a high position in the harem, as long as she is safe and sound.

Xue Youli looked at her red eyes, and her nose felt a little sour. "Mom, don't worry, the harem is not a kind place, and my daughter is not a pushover either. I won't let anyone bully me!"

That's true. Ever since he was rescued from hanging himself, Xue Youli has indeed changed his personality and acts much more steadily than before.

Jiang Ruyun held her hand tightly and said, "Have you memorized the rules that the foster nanny has taught you these days?"

After the selection was over, the palace sent special nannies to teach the selected ladies from noble families and teach them the palace rules.

Xue Youli nodded, "My daughter has noted it all."

Jiang Ruyun couldn't hold back her tears. "Li'er, it's good to keep a low profile in the palace, but you don't have to endure grievances blindly. Remember, we will always have your back."

Xue Youli raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Yes! Mother, I will be fine in the palace!"

At this time, Xue Wuyou handed the wooden box in his arms to Xue Youli, also with a look of reluctance, "Sister, there are many things to take care of when you enter the palace. These are all my private money for you. Don't be reluctant to part with the money. If you need anything in the future, write to me and tell me."

In her previous life, Xue Youli's parents divorced and each remarried, leaving her to live with her grandfather, an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner. After his passing, she enrolled in a medical university, becoming independent and self-reliant.

During the time she entered the novel, everyone in the Xue family doted on her, allowing her to feel the warmth she had never felt in her previous life, and she lived a very happy life.

"Thank you, third brother."

Xue Youli took the heavy wooden box and looked behind them, "By the way, where's Daddy?"

Jiang Ruyun paused while wiping her tears, looking unnatural. "Your father went out to do some errands early in the morning."

Xue Youli did not ask any further questions. Isn't it like this for social animals and working people no matter which dynasty it is?

If something big happens at home, I have to be there whenever my boss calls.

She said goodbye to her family and got on the carriage with Banxia.

When the carriage left the Xue Mansion, Xue Huaiyuan, who Jiang Ruyun had mentioned was out on business, rushed out of the mansion with a pair of walnut-shaped eyes swollen from crying, and ran after the carriage for two miles.

"Li'er, Daddy's precious daughter... wuwuwu..."

?

After more than half an hour, the carriage stopped outside the palace gate.

Xue Youli got off the carriage and looked at the magnificent palace walls with a complicated expression.

The current emperor Murong Che has been on the throne for less than a year, and there is no one else in the harem except Concubine Ning, Concubine Chun, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Life who were brought from the prince's palace.

This was the first general election, with sixty-two people elected. Currently, there is no main seat in the six palaces.

The future queen Xue Qingyao in the original book has been eliminated. It is unknown who among these sixty-six people will become the final king and rule the six palaces.

The palace servant who led the way brought Xue Youli to Lingyun Palace, where an eighth-rank concubine had already moved in.

The other party took the initiative to greet her and then went back to the Jinghua Pavilion on the right side where he lived.

Xue Youli lived in Shuiyuexuan in the left palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs guarding the palace door immediately saluted her.

"Servants Xiao Pingzi and Xiao Anzi pay their respects to the master!"

"I, your servant, wish you good luck and happiness. I greet you, my master!"

Xue Youli glanced at them and immediately activated the Book of Heavenly Secrets to check their character.

Who knew that Tianjishu would go offline after checking only three people.

She almost forgot that the Book of Heavenly Secrets could only be consulted three times a day.

The three people she investigated were all newcomers with no criminal record, and the other one was under her nose every day, so the problem shouldn't be serious.

The people and relationships in the harem are very complicated. One wrong step could cost you your head. She will have to use her Book of Divine Secrets sparingly in the future.

As the master, Xue Youli chatted with the four palace servants for a few minutes to establish his authority, and then asked Banxia to give them red envelopes when they met.

The four of them were very happy after receiving the reward, and they worked even harder, cleaning Shuiyuexuan spotlessly inside and out.

Xue Youli herself was not idle either.

She folded the sheets and quilt herself, there was no interlayer on the bed, the rouge and powder on the dressing table were carefully placed, the cosmetics were non-toxic, and every floor tile was knocked, leaving no secret compartments or passages.

She even turned over the soil in the flower garden in the name of weeding, and there was no musk buried in the ground.

Very good, Shuiyuexuan is safe for the time being.

Xue Youli was tired after a day of work. After taking a bath, she lay on the bed and didn't want to move at all.

I have to get up early tomorrow, so I have to go to bed quickly.

?

The next day, it was early in the morning.

After Xue Youli dressed neatly, she took Ruyi to Yongning Palace to pay her respects to Concubine Rong.

On the way, Xue Youli learned more about the four concubines from Ruyi. They were all concubines taken in by the emperor before he ascended the throne.

After all, the heroine in her best friend's novel is Xue Qingyao, the hero is the regent, and the emperor is just a supporting role who pulls together the feelings of the hero and heroine. Therefore, as a stepping stone for the heroine to ascend to the throne, the four concubines have very few roles.

Concubine Rong had a daughter and was the only concubine in the harem who gave birth to a child for the emperor. She was dignified and steady, treated people kindly, and was deeply valued by the emperor.

Concubine Chun suffers from heart disease and rarely goes out. She is also a very Buddhist person who does not fight or compete.

Concubine Ning was low-key and loved to write. When she had nothing to do, she would practice calligraphy and painting in her own palace.

As her name suggests, Concubine Li is the most beautiful of the four concubines and the most favored. She is also willful, hot-tempered and domineering.

Just as Xue Youli finished listening to Ruyi's introduction, a crisp sound came from her ears.

'Snapped! '

"Who do you think you are? How dare you step on my shoes and make them dirty?"

A woman in a gorgeous pink palace dress slapped the woman in front of her hard. Her hand was so strong that the other person's face swelled up on the spot.

Xue Youli looked up at the woman who beat him up and immediately knew her identity.

[Name: Shen Ruolan, 17 years old, the second daughter of the Duke of Anguo, and was granted the title of Lanpin, a fourth-rank official.]

Duke Anguo Shen Hongwen was a veteran of two dynasties. He had fought with the previous emperor in many campaigns and made many military achievements.

Shen Hongwen's sister was married to the previous emperor as a concubine, but unfortunately she died of illness in the previous palace fight.

Now Shen Hongwen has sent his second daughter into the palace, obviously aiming for the position of queen.

However, Shen Ruolan had been spoiled since childhood and was domineering. On the second day after entering the palace, she wanted to establish her authority in front of everyone.

The woman she slapped was called Meng Yishu, the younger sister of the original owner's ex-boyfriend, and was conferred the title of seventh-rank talent.

Seeing Meng Shuwan remained silent, Shen Ruolan grabbed her hair and pushed her to the ground, "Lick my shoes clean!"

The concubines passing by looked at the arrogant woman and didn't want to get into trouble, so they lowered their heads and took a detour.

Xue Youli didn't want to meddle in other people's business and was about to leave.

However, when she caught sight of the person behind Meng Yishu, she stopped abruptly.

Xue Qingyao!

The person standing behind Meng Yishu was actually Xue Qingyao who had been missing for many days!
