The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

Seeing that her daughter's expression was not right, Madam Liu quickly advised, "Good Minmin, don't force these people if they don't accept your invitation. You'll be going to the palace in a few days, so you should get some rest."

She had lived for so many years and never imagined that such a huge windfall would fall into her daughter's lap.

The daughter's face is indeed stunning; the Emperor would never have dared to dream of having his eye on the Liu family.

It wasn't for nothing that my father-in-law had been showing concern for the Empress Dowager all these years; the opportunity had finally arrived.

If their daughter were to give birth to another child, the Liu family would be completely different from what it used to be.

At the beginning of the reign, Emperor Yuan was still focused on state affairs, and her sister-in-law had no chance to enter the palace.

Things are different now. Although the situation has been bad these past two years, it's still much better than before.

Since her family was granted a minor official position, and with the news of this minor selection, Madam Liu was absolutely certain that this selection was tailor-made for her daughter.

"Mother, you don't understand! Our family doesn't have the advantages of being from an official family, and there's no news from my great-aunt yet. If I make a mistake, wouldn't I miss out on immense wealth?"

Liu Min was beautiful and charming. Her slight frown made Madam Liu feel sorry for her.

“My son, stay home and rest well. With your looks, you'll have a bright future in the palace. If you really can't calm down, then practice according to the book left by that fairy! Holding the emperor's favor in your hands is better than anything else.”

For some reason, Madam Liu felt especially sorry for her daughter these past few days, and her youngest son didn't dote on her as much as before.

This booklet is definitely genuine.

If a woman like her could be affected to this extent, what about men?

Besides, if you practice according to the instructions, you'll be able to capture a man's heart in bed more effectively than by making friends with countless women.

“Mother, I’m just not sure. What if the Empress uses some tricks on me and I’m completely unaware? Wouldn’t I be eliminated without even knowing it? There’s been no news from my great-aunt either. I wonder if she’s been stopped by the Empress.”

Ever since Liu Min received that little booklet in her dream, she noticed the difference after practicing it for two days.

Her lower abdomen felt warm all the time, which was quite different from usual.

She accidentally ingested cold medicine when she was young, and ever since then, she has had a cold feeling in her lower abdomen, which she has tried countless methods to get rid of.

When her period comes, she needs to place a heater on her abdomen to relieve the pain, even in the sweltering summer heat.

After practicing according to this booklet for two days, her health actually improved.

After a layer of black mud appeared on her body yesterday, she felt healthier than ever before.

My skin is smoother than usual, my hair is darker and shinier than usual, and even that area seems firmer than usual.

She was confident that once Emperor Chu Yuan had tasted her body, he would be unable to live without her.

"No matter what, you should prepare to enter the palace! If the Emperor really takes a liking to you, the Empress and the other concubines will not be able to drive you away no matter what methods they use..." Madam Liu said a few words of comfort before leaving in a hurry.

Alone in her room, Liu Min made up her mind that she must enter the palace this time and stay by the emperor's side.

If she cannot stay, her appearance will undoubtedly bring her countless troubles.

Full of enthusiasm, Liu Min simply took out the booklet again and imitated those embarrassing poses.

The more she practiced, the more grateful she became to Han Cuiyin.

Only she, the beneficiary, knew how much benefit the pamphlet had brought her.

Of course, there's also Da Ya, another beneficiary, who's doing quite well too.

Liu Min calculated the time; August 28th was the day of the preliminary selection. "It seems there are still eight days left. Time is tight. I should practice these movements first. If the Empress really uses some means to send me back, my great-aunt should step in to help."

Empress Dowager Liu had always wanted to promote her maternal family, something she had longed for for decades.

Liu Min knew Empress Dowager Liu's thoughts well; otherwise, Cining Palace would not have bestowed so many gifts on the day she left the palace.

Even if she had to be a tool in her great-aunt's hands and compete with the concubines in the early stages, it was still better than marrying just any powerful person.

What if... what if one day she also has the glory of her great-aunt?

Thinking of this, Liu Min felt a surge of excitement and practiced even harder.

It was already autumn, but she was drenched in sweat and had an unpleasant odor.

In order to become more beautiful, she had no choice but to endure the smell and continue practicing.

Although the Liu family was not an official family, they were not short of money because they had the backing of Empress Dowager Liu.

Her father was never short of women around him, and he had more than a dozen half-brothers and sisters.

Liu Min was the eldest daughter and the most beautiful of the three. On the surface, she was favored by the elders in the household, but in private, she often fought with her sisters.

Those people wanted to ruin her beauty, ruin her innocence, ruin everything about her.

She has been in this environment since childhood.

These people have endless tricks up their sleeves, which naturally helped her grow.

Aside from her somewhat out-of-control behavior with the Empress at the palace banquet, she behaved perfectly with Emperor Chuyuan and Empress Dowager Liu.

Her show of weakness ultimately won the Emperor Chu Yuan's pity.

Her chance to change her fate has arrived.

Liu Min's face was covered in sweat streaks, some of which got into her eyes. She didn't bother to clean them up and practiced the movements over and over again.

Each time she practiced, she silently prayed for the immortals to live long and prosper, until she was completely exhausted.

Han Cuiyin was unaware of Liu Min's gratitude; she gave Liu Min the booklet purely for her own benefit.

In case Emperor Chu Yuan suddenly goes crazy one day, at least she'll have someone she can use.

If Liu Min can master it, whispering sweet nothings in someone's ear will be a piece of cake.

"Is the Spirit Butterfly not working?" Luo Jingqian, who had been paying close attention to Han Cuiyin, noticed her frowning in thought and asked this question.

They always used Psylockes to deliver messages.

There was one at Granny Chu's place that day, but no one noticed it. Otherwise, even if the people around Grandmother were in the small Buddhist hall, they wouldn't have been able to save Han Cuiyin in time.

Later, when Granny Chu finally came to Han Cuiyin's side, the spirit butterfly was returned without disturbing anyone.

"We've made contact, but the two sisters and Princess Ruqin are sneaking off to play."

Geng Ruqin was much happier after letting go of her obsession with Luo Jingqian. She spent her days thinking about playing and had no desire to be confined to the mansion.

"These three girls can't sneak off like that. Is Qingyun keeping an eye on them in secret?" Princess Changyun was a little anxious when she heard that her two daughters were just as unreliable as she had been in her youth.

Ten people came from Fuguang Mountain. Luo Jingqian left them at Qingshuang Mountain, while Qingyun stayed with his two younger sisters to protect them.

Qingyun, being playful, not only didn't stop him but actually welcomed it.

The information Han Cuiyin received from Lingdie included not only news about the two sisters, but also news from the palace.

Consort Xu found the people before Empress Yang did; those palace servants were the maids and nannies who had served the late Crown Prince's wife.

Han Cuiyin made full use of Qingyun's spirit butterflies, leaving a few in the palace.

This is where it came in handy.
