Wen Yuan started dressing up early in the morning, and when Ma Jia arrived, Wen Yuan was almost done.

Looking at her daughter dressed like a flower, Ma Jia's eyes welled up with tears. She quickly touched her eyes with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "It is said that girls change a lot when they grow up. My baby Wen Yuan is only fifteen years old, but she has grown so beautiful."

Having said that, Ma Jia was a little worried. Although her daughter was pretty before, how could she become prettier overnight? Could it be that the ancestors appeared? Ma Jia thought to herself.

Wen Yuan saw the confusion in her mother's heart, and smiled as she took Ma Jia's hand, "Mother, look at my daughter's eyes, they are bigger than before. When I was a child, I heard that some people's eyes would get bigger after they had a fever, but I never thought that this day would come for me. It's great."

Ma Jia also remembered that there was indeed such a saying, that originally single eyelids would turn into double eyelids when the temperature rose. In this way, the mother and daughter found an excuse for Wen Yuan's sudden beauty.

Ma Jia continued to talk about some things to pay attention to after entering the palace, and when the time was almost up, she saw her daughter off.

The Manchu and Mongolian military flags and the Han military flags had different waiting locations for the palace selection, so Wen Yuan did not see the famous scene where Zhen Huan fought back against Xia Dongchun on behalf of An Lingrong's sisters.

However, she met "old acquaintances" Fu Cha Yi Xin and Fang Jia Chun Yi, but they didn't know her yet.

The waiting time was not long. There were few people in the Manchu and Mongolian military flags, and Yinzhen preferred Han women, so the selection of girls was very fast. Considering Emin's official position, she and Fang Jiachun went to the palace for selection before Fu Cha Yixin according to the order of official rank from low to high.

The young eunuch announced: "Guaerjia Wenyuan, daughter of Guaerjia Emin, the censor of the Metropolitan Censorate, is fifteen years old."

Wen Yuan lifted her skirt with both hands and knelt down to salute: "Your servant Guarjia Wen Yuan pays respect to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. May the Emperor be blessed with great fortune, a strong country, and a long-lasting society. May the Empress Dowager be healthy, live long, and enjoy happiness forever."

Yinzhen, who was originally impatient on the stage, smiled softly after hearing this, "No wonder Emin's daughter is so talkative. Raise your head."

The Queen Mother was originally feeling happy listening to Wen Yuan's words, and seeing that Yinzhen was finally interested, she was also looking forward to her appearance.

Wen Yuan raised her chin, revealing her entire face, her eyes lowered, remembering the rules and not looking at the emperor.

The Queen Mother took a deep breath when she saw Wen Yuan's appearance, knowing that this person must enter the palace. Fortunately, Father's official position was not high, and he was also a censor. Although he was also a Manchu military flag, he could not interfere with the Queen.

Yinzhen had no idea what the empress dowager was thinking. He was staring at Wen Yuan in a daze. He seemed to finally understand the meaning of Bai Juyi's words in "Song of Everlasting Sorrow": "She glances back and smiles so charmingly that all the beauties in the harem pale in comparison."

The Guwalgiya clan should be like this!

Yinzhen didn't even ask any questions, he just gave the young eunuch a wink.

The young eunuch shouted, "Guaerjia Wenyuan, the daughter of the Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate, Guaerjia Emin, left a name card and a sachet!"

Wen Yuan immediately said, "I thank the Emperor and the Empress Dowager!"

In this way, Wen Yuan became the first girl selected in this talent show.

The next one after Wen Yuan is Fang Jia Chun Yi. Originally, according to the original world, Fang Jia Chun Yi was also going to enter the palace. This time, because Wen Yuan came, Fang Chun Yi, who stood beside Wen Yuan with a childish look and chubby cheeks, naturally could not please Yin Zhen, so she was put aside.

After everyone in their team had their names called, as they were leaving, Wen Yuan, as if confirming the poem, looked back at Yinzhen on the stage, smiled at him, and then immediately turned her head back, not giving Yinzhen a chance to look at her again, which made Yinzhen feel itchy.

In the following selections, Yinzhen's mind was full of Wen Yuan, so he had no patience to watch until the wave of beauties after the Manchu flag came. The empress dowager advised: "Emperor, the Manchu flag has too few people to choose from this time. In order to consider the face of the former Manchu flag officials, you should also choose a few more."

Yinzhen also knew that it was inappropriate for the Manchu army to only choose Wen Yuan, so he raised his hand and pointed, choosing Fu Cha Yi Xin.

After the audition, Wen Yuan walked out of the palace.

When he saw Jingtai, he smiled smugly at her and stretched out his hand, "Hurry up and send me to the carriage!"

When Jingtai heard this, he knew that his mistress had been chosen. He smiled happily and held up Wen Yuan's hand, "My mistress, please get in the car!"

E Min, Ma Jia and everyone else in the mansion had been waiting outside the door early. As soon as they saw Wen Yuan's carriage, they started setting off firecrackers.

After Wen Yuan got off the car, accompanied by the crackling sound of firecrackers, Emin led everyone to kneel down and pay homage to Wen Yuan. Wen Yuan hurriedly helped Emin and Ma Jia up, "Father and mother, are you trying to embarrass me? Get up quickly, we are all family, there is no need for such a big ceremony, father and mother, let's go inside and talk."

E Min and Ma Jia both wiped their tears, and the family went into the house to talk together.

The two concubines and their concubines' daughters were not qualified to listen to their conversation. As soon as they entered the door, they were sent back to their rooms by E Min.

E Min led Wen Yuan and others to the study, and ordered the maids and servants to guard outside the courtyard from a distance and not let them get close to the study, so as to avoid hearing their conversation.

"Zhong Shou, Qing Bao, Wen Yuan, Father has something important to tell you..."

Emin finished describing his dream, and then said, "Father has sent people to check, and the daughter of Zhen Yuandao and the daughter of Shen Zishan have both been selected. Even though the imperial edict has not been issued yet, Father does not know the title of Zhen's daughter for the time being, but there are hundreds of Han army flag women participating in the palace selection. If two of them are the same candidates as in Father's dream, it means that the dream is true, and our ancestors are really warning us."

Wen Yuan was the first to respond to E Min, "No wonder, no wonder. Father, my daughter had a dream when she was dazed and had a fever yesterday. In the dream, a fairy in white gave me a pill and said that after taking it, the disease would be cured and my appearance would be three times more beautiful than before. It would also help me have more children and more blessings. After my daughter took it, she really recovered and her appearance also changed a little."

Emin, his eldest son Zhongshou, and his second son Qingbao were all rough men, and it was hard to see any major changes in Wenyuan. However, Ma Jia remembered everything and agreed with Wenyuan, "It seems that Wenyuan has also been blessed by the fairy. If it is true as the fairy said, that we Wenyuan will have many children and be blessed, then doesn't that mean that our family will become the in-laws of the princes and princesses in the future?"

E Min thought more, his eyes bright as copper bells.

The current emperor has few children. If his daughter gives birth to a prince in the future, wouldn’t he also have a hope of sitting on that throne?

Emin's heart was beating fast. At this time, his eldest son Zhong Shou asked, "Father, if everything in the dream is true, when will we start the experiment on cowpox?"

"Oh, yes, this is a big deal! Zhong Shou, Qing Bao, your father is busy with official duties every day, so this matter is left to you. After your sister enters the palace, you can take a few doctors with you and go to the farm in the suburbs to test cowpox in the name of having fun."
