Chapter 42: Legend of Zhen Huan - Jade Hidden 9

"As a concubine who was promoted to be the first wife, the Empress's current reputation must be due to her daily performance. And the Empress who controls the Emperor's offspring can make it invisible to the world, which is enough to prove that she is very scheming."

"The emperor's only three princes are all born to Han army bannermen. The fourth prince is disliked by the emperor, the fifth prince is weak and sickly, and the mother of the third prince, the only one in the palace, always follows the empress's lead."

"It's obvious that the Queen has chosen the Third Prince."

"If after this selection, there is a prince born under the Manchu flag in the palace, then the position of the Third Prince will definitely be threatened, disrupting the Queen's plan."

"For this reason, the queen will naturally not allow concubines of the Manchu flag to have children."

"Sister, you want to enter the palace. Do you really only plan to be a favorite concubine for a dozen or twenty years and then become a dowager concubine and stay in a small palace all day long?"

"Father, did you send my sister to the palace just to be the father of your favorite concubine for more than ten or twenty years?"

"Of course not!" The father and daughter who were being questioned denied it in unison. Which family wanted to send their daughter to the palace only wanted temporary wealth and not long-term marriage? They all wanted to give birth to a royal bloodline and become the next emperor's in-laws.

Lord Guarjia is of course no exception.

"So...what should we do?"

Two pairs of identical eyes sparkling with inquiring eyes stared at Yu Yin, their tone full of anticipation as they waited for Yu Yin's arrangements. For this, Yu Yin could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Wen Yuan was fine, as long as she could accept a young and beautiful girl looking at her with affection, but Lord Guaerjia was a bit eye-catching, a half-old man with a wrinkled face. As he was a Manchu with thick hair, his beard basically covered his entire face, leaving only a pair of bright eyes looking at her.

This, this scene is really eye-catching.

"Sigh..." Yu Yin just felt tired. She always felt that it was easier to fight in the palace herself than to help others fight behind the scenes. She had originally planned to be a happy and wealthy lady outside the palace and live a simple and sweet life. However, she didn't expect that with two treasures in the family, she would be easily dragged into the ditch by them if she was not careful.

"Listen to me, this is the next plan."

"First of all, sister, the audition is only half a month away. During this period, sister must take good care of her health and must not get sick. If you get sick and miss the audition, it will be too late to regret it then."

"The second is Father, the Emperor generally does not force the selection of each family. As long as each family has a daughter of the right age, she can go. But you can't just not go. This is disrespectful to the Emperor."

"So the most important thing now is to write a letter to the emperor, saying that there are two girls of appropriate age in the family, and the younger one is young and in poor health. Please ask the emperor to exempt her from the selection, and only the eldest daughter can participate in the selection."

"This will allow the emperor to see my father's loyalty. Secondly, it will allow the emperor to notice in advance that there is a selection of daughters in the Guaerjia Mansion, leaving an impression in advance."

"Besides, my father has been with the emperor since he was in the palace. I believe that the emperor has already intended to select a girl from Guarjia to enter the palace this time and has reserved the quota in advance. I believe that even the queen or the queen mother cannot interfere."

"As for the future, we'll analyze it after the talent show is over and my sister leaves the sign."

I have to say that Lord Guaerjia is very efficient. After the conversation that day, Lord Guaerjia came back from court the next morning with an oral order exempting Yu Yin from the selection. He even received a hint from the emperor that Wen Yuan's entry into the palace was confirmed, and all that was left was to go through the process to determine her position.

Yu Yin guessed that the emperor might have chosen this position because he was worried that Wen Yuan was not good-looking, so he planned to confirm it after seeing her. If she was good-looking, she might have a high position, and maybe even a title. If she was average-looking, she might have an average position.

No one in Guwaljia Prefecture was worried about this. After all, Wen Yuan was really beautiful, especially without those superficial calculations. She was even sweeter and her smile could sweeten people's hearts.

The draft soon reached its final step. Two nights before the palace selection, Wen Yuan suddenly developed a high fever. Yu Yin knew that this was the serious illness that Concubine Qi had mentioned in the plot that caused her to miss the draft. Fortunately, the Guaerjia Mansion had made arrangements in advance, and the specially invited doctor had not been allowed to leave the mansion these days. He discovered the disease in time and prescribed medicine in time. After taking two doses of medicine, Wen Yuan recovered a lot and finally caught up with the draft.

Wen Yuan was from the Manchu army flag, and started earlier than Zhen Huan, Shen Meiyu, An Lingrong and others from the Han army flag. Most of the princesses from the Manchu army flag in this selection were not very good-looking, and none of them had noble family backgrounds that necessitated their entry into the palace.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager looked for a long time and only chose a princess from the Fucha family. When Wen Yuan appeared, the Manchu military flag selection was about to end. When the Emperor heard that the person standing below was a princess from the Guwaljia Mansion, he stepped forward curiously.

"Your humble servant Guarjia Wenyuan pays respect to the Emperor and Empress Dowager. May the Emperor and Empress Dowager be in good health."

"Oh, daughter of Emin, come forward."

"Yes." As Wen Yuan approached, the emperor was attracted by her beauty at first sight and was very satisfied. "I didn't expect that a man as rough as E Min could give birth to a girl as delicate as you."

"Guaerjia Wenyuan, daughter of Guaerjia Emin, a second-rank censor of the Metropolitan Censorate, is here to leave a name card!"

After Wen Yuan was confirmed as selected, the rest of the storyline developed normally, except that it had nothing to do with Yu Yin. When the selection was over, the imperial edict was sent to Guaerjia Mansion: "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Guaerjia Wen Yuan, the daughter of Guaerjia Emin, the Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate, is hereby conferred the title of a fifth-rank noble lady and given the title of Rong. She will enter the palace on September 12. This is my decree."

"Thank you Lord for your grace!"

After receiving the imperial edict, everyone present was delighted. Yu Yin could guess that Wen Yuan would at least be a noble lady in the palace, after all, E Min was now a second-rank official. But she did not expect that the emperor was very satisfied with Wen Yuan's appearance and specially bestowed the word "Rong" as the title.

After the messenger left, Lord Guaerjia, Concubine Rong and Yuyin gathered in the study again. This time it was no longer Lord Guaerjia who spoke, but after understanding Yuyin's strategy, he consciously gave the position of decision to Yuyin.

"Yuyin, Wen Yuan will enter the palace in a dozen days. The Queen cannot seek refuge with her. What will Wen Yuan do from now on?"

"Yes, sister. I originally thought I could get a concubine, but I never thought I could only be a noble lady. A noble lady cannot raise a child by herself."

Seeing that Wen Yuan actually complained about the division of the upper position, Yu Yin hurriedly stopped her: "Sister, please don't say that. The position of concubine of the master of this palace is not so easy to be canonized, even if father is a second-rank administrator."

"Sister is now a noble lady with a title. According to the messenger, eight ladies were selected in this year's selection, including my sister from the Manchu army flag, Noble Lady Fucha and a young lady named Fang Jiachang who has not yet reached the age of marriage, Noble Lady Borjigit from the Mongolian army flag, and Noble Lady Shen, Concubine Wan, Concubine Xia and An Da Ying from the Han army flag."

"Those with titles are one level higher than those without titles. Sister's current position is the highest among the newcomers. I believe that after sister enters the palace, she will be canonized as a concubine in no time."
