Warm my heart

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the palace selection arrived as scheduled.

The entire capital was immersed in an atmosphere of tension and expectation.

Guarjia Wenyuan was dressing herself carefully in front of the mirror, her eyes flashing with anticipation for the future and a hint of imperceptible nervousness.

Mrs. Guarjia was gently straightening her daughter's clothes, her heart filled with complicated emotions.

She was proud of her daughter's beauty and talent, but also reluctant to part with her.

"Yuan'er, no matter what the outcome today is, you will always be the most precious treasure in your mother's heart." Lady Guaerjia said softly, with tears in her eyes.

Guarjia Wenyuan turned around and hugged her mother tightly, her face full of confidence: "Mother, don't worry, your daughter is so beautiful. If the emperor is not blind, my daughter will definitely be chosen."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Guarjia was so frightened that she quickly covered Guarjia Wenyuan's mouth, with a look of worry on her face: "Silly child, how can you say such things! If anyone hears you, you will lose several heads."

Guarjia Wenyuan snuggled up to her mother's arms and said coquettishly, "Mother, I'm only saying this in front of you."

Mrs. Guarjia looked at her well-behaved and slightly naive daughter, feeling both love and worry in her heart.

Time waits for no one. Although I am reluctant, the day of palace selection has finally arrived.

The whole family got ready early and watched Guarjia Wenyuan go to the palace for selection.

The women from the eight banners of Manchuria and Mongolia gathered at the palace selection site. When they saw Guarjia Wenyuan appear, they couldn't help but step back.

Guarjia Wenyuan's beauty and temperament make other women pale in comparison.

"This is so unfair. How can we choose when she is here?" someone whispered.

"Even Concubine Hua is not even one-tenth as good as her." Another woman sighed.

"Oh, it looks like we're going to lose this time." Someone said disappointedly.

Although Guarjia Wenyuan usually interacted with other noble ladies of the Eight Banners and often held flower-viewing banquets, she looked particularly dazzling today, and no one dared to come forward and stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

When the emperor was selecting women in the palace, he didn't seem to be very interested in the women from the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia, and didn't choose many.

"Vulgar people, they are all vulgar people."

Soon, it was Guarjia Wenyuan's turn.

The young eunuch shouted loudly: "The daughter of Guarjia Emin of the Manchu Bordered Blue Banner, Guarjia Wenyuan, is fifteen years old."

When Guarjia Wenyuan heard her name, she stepped forward gracefully and saluted obediently: "Your humble servant, Guarjia Wenyuan, pays respects to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. May the Emperor and the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."

When Emperor Yongzheng heard this, he wondered, isn't this the daughter of Guwalja Emin?

He remembered that the cowpox and cement presented by Guwalja Emin were both undergoing trials and seemed to be real.

The Guarjia family's status is about to change.

Then she must be selected. I wonder what the daughter of this rough man Guwalgiya Emin looks like.

The emperor's voice came from the high throne, deep and powerful: "Lift your head."

Guarjia Wenyuan obeyed the order and slowly raised her head, but her eyes were still humbly looking down, not daring to look directly at the emperor's majesty. The palace maids had long ago taught her that this was basic respect for the emperor's face.

The emperor's gaze was fixed on Guarjia Wenyuan. He saw a delicate little face the size of a palm, a cute little nose, and the teardrop mole at the corner of the eye added a bit of charm.

Her skin was so white that it was almost transparent, as if sunlight could penetrate through it.

That white and slender neck makes people imagine.

The bulge under her neck looked quite large, judging by the rise and fall of it. Her slender waist seemed so slender that it looked like he could hold it with one big hand.

The Queen Mother was observing the Emperor's reaction from the side, and when she saw that he seemed to be losing his composure, she knew what was going on.

This beautiful girl had obviously aroused the emperor's interest.

After coughing twice, the emperor came out of his reverie.

The emperor cleared his throat, trying to cover up his gaffe, and said deliberately indifferently: "Well, not bad."

The Queen Mother also wanted someone of higher status to come to the palace to share Hua Fei's favor.

The Queen Mother also had her own plans in mind. She hoped that there would be a new person in the palace to divert Concubine Hua's favor.

Concubine Hua has become more and more presumptuous recently, even offending the Queen many times and completely disregarding her.

Guaerjia Wenyuan's family background and beauty are both excellent conditions for becoming a favorite concubine. Perhaps she has the ability to compete with Concubine Hua.

In the magnificent hall, the young eunuch's voice was clear and loud: "Guarjia Wenyuan, leave the name card and give the sachet."

An irrepressible joy welled up in Guarjia Wenyuan's heart, and a bright smile bloomed on her face.

She immediately knelt down and kowtowed in the most standard court etiquette to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Queen Mother."

When she stood up, she found that she was the only one chosen among the row of beauties.

She couldn't help but feel a little proud.

She—Guarjia Wenyuan—is just so amazing.

Before leaving, Guarjia Wenyuan's curiosity drove her to look at the high dragon throne.

Although she had some vague memories in her mind, they were all fragmentary, and she longed to see the emperor's true appearance.

Her eyes fell on the emperor. Wow, this emperor looks really good.

Although she is a little older, she has taken good care of herself and looks only in her thirties.

The imperial aura he exudes makes people feel awe involuntarily.

Guarjia Wenyuan was distracted for a moment and was actually a little dazed.

The emperor noticed this gaze and saw Guarjia Wenyuan looking at him like a curious kitten.

He was also attracted by her delicate face, and seeing her infatuated look, the emperor couldn't help but smile.

Guarjia Wenyuan then realized her own mistake, her face flushed, and she quickly left the hall.

After her figure disappeared, the emperor's hearty laughter could be heard from the palace.

The Queen Mother watched this scene from the side with a puzzled expression on her face.

As soon as Guaerjia Wenyuan stepped out of the palace gate, Jingtai saw her at a glance and ran over excitedly.

"Princess, princess, what's going on?" Jingtai's tone was full of anticipation.

Guarjia Wenyuan's face was filled with pride, and her smile revealed confidence: "Of course I was selected. Don't you see who I am? I'm so beautiful, the emperor will definitely choose me."

Jingtai quickly agreed, with a hint of playfulness in his tone: "Yes, yes, my princess is the most powerful!"

When Guarjia Wenyuan returned home, he saw firecrackers already set up at the door and the lively atmosphere of celebration was overwhelming.

As soon as she entered, Guaerjia Emin and the others in the family came to pay their respects. Their attitude was respectful and solemn: "Your servant Guaerjia Emin and his family come to greet the young lady."

Guarjia Wenyuan had never seen such a scene before. She quickly helped Guarjia Emin up, her voice choking with sobs: "Father, am I no longer your daughter now that I'm in the palace? Do you no longer want me?"
