Xie Yunjiao played tricks and didn't explain things clearly to Jing Kai. Seeing Jing Kai's anxious look, she laughed happily.

"Who told you to take advantage of my amnesia and bully me? Now I'm taking revenge."

Jing Kai had forgotten about this matter, but Xie Yunjiao had a good memory.

She is indeed a vengeful woman!

"I didn't do it on purpose. I was just testing you. Who made you really lose your memory?" Jing Kai said.

At that time, he thought Xie Yunjiao was pretending, so he did so many boring things to test her.

Ask her to pretend to be nice to him and ignore Gu Huai.

I thought she would be angry with me as usual, but I never expected that not only was she not angry, but she also compromised.

He knew at that time that she had lost her memory, but he was reluctant to let her go so quickly because he wanted to continue to have her, even if it was only for a short period of time.

Thinking about these things now, although Xie Yunjiao would be very angry, he did not regret it.

If he could go back in time, he would still do the same.

"Yun Qiao, look how anxious you've made this child," Ruan Qing waved at Jing Kai. "She refused to tell you, so your aunt told you. Look how anxious you are."

Ruan Qing hurriedly spoke to Jing Kai and then ran away.

Jing Kai finally realized that it was no wonder that Xie Yunjiao had been laughing. It turned out that Ruan Qing had not confessed to him because she was afraid that he would worry.

It was because she wanted to go back to play mahjong, but she was afraid that he would get annoyed with her and pester her and not let her leave.

So just tell him directly.

Jing Kai looked at the door that disappeared in a moment and muttered to himself, "Aunt, you have changed."

"So you don't have to worry. She is very happy here, really happy." Xie Yunjiao said.

Jing Kai said, "Yes, I feel relieved."

After he finished speaking, his mouth was full of bitterness.

The person he was worried about was not Ruan Qing, because he believed that Xie Yunjiao would take good care of her.

The person he was worried about was always her.

Jing Kai glanced at Xie Yunjiao indifferently and then looked away.

"Then I'll see how many days it takes you to drive those people away and make them regret their decision to enter the palace." Jing Kai said.

"It shouldn't take long." Xie Yunjiao said.

However, Xie Yunjiao underestimated the perseverance of those people.

Ever since Gu Huai agreed to let the ministers' daughters enter the palace during the morning court session the next day, those people happily went home to prepare, and the occasion was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.

Everyone felt that this was a great opportunity to consolidate their family's power, and the entrance of the largest cloth shop in the capital was almost crowded with people.

There are also cosmetics stores and jewelry stores.

"Mom, why did you bring my sister out to join in the fun? Go back home quickly!" Yang Shengshan saw Yang Shuang and Zhong Huaishuang rushing to the cloth shop on the road and quickly stopped them.

Yang Shuang said to Yang Shengshan, "I was wrong before. Who knew that Gu Huai..." Her heart sank. She thought to herself, thankfully, no one else was here. Otherwise, if someone heard her address the current emperor by his name, she'd probably be beheaded. "Who knew he would be so noble? Now that he's announced the selection, and your sister happened to be there, we naturally have to seize the opportunity."

"Sister, mother is like this, are you going to accompany her to go crazy?" Yang Shengshan said helplessly to Zhong Huaishuang.

Zhong Huaishuang looked embarrassed. According to the previous audition rules, she was considered an old girl and naturally had no chance.

However, this time, the entry standards issued by Gu Huai did not include any appearance or age requirements, so Yang Shuang pulled her out like crazy.

She tried to persuade Yang Shuang for a long time on the way, but her words were not convincing at all.

"You still say I'm crazy, but look at everyone on the street, they're all like this, are they all crazy?

And you, you are so old and still haven’t gotten married, and your sister’s marriage has not been settled yet.

We in the Yang family don’t know what’s going on, one or two of them are like this!”

Yang Shengshan felt helpless. He had not yet let go of the person in his heart, so he did not want to compromise.

But the thing about Zhong Huaishuang's marriage was not that she didn't want to get married, but that she was too well-behaved and obedient, and let Yang Shuang control her.

Someone had come to propose marriage before, but Yang Shuang had high standards and refused to agree.

Later, they rejected several marriage proposals. In addition, Zhong Huaishuang was old. In the past, it was their family that chose the person, but now it was others who chose them.

Although the Yang family was very wealthy, they managed to make Zhong Huaishuang their mother-in-law.

Zhong Wanshan couldn't bear it any longer and suggested that Zhong Huaishuang find a son-in-law to marry into the family, so that the Yang family could continue the family line.

Originally, Yang Shuang had begun to soften her stance and had even started asking the matchmaker to find a suitable family.

As a result, the sudden event of the emperor's selection of concubines came up, and Yang Shuang became restless again, not wanting her daughter to marry someone too ordinary.

"Your sister and the queen have such a good relationship. They used to be like sisters. Your sister was even saved by the couple before. She will definitely choose your sister." Yang Shuang said confidently.

"What are you doing here? Go back now!"

Zhong Wanshan had just returned from another place discussing cooperation, but when he got home, there was no one there. When he asked, he found out that Yang Shuang had brought Zhong Huaishuang out.

He made some further inquiries and finally found them.

"What do you know?! I'm helping Huai Shuang live a good life, don't be so ungrateful."

"What do you know?!" Zhong Wanshan winked at Yang Shengshan, indicating that he should take Yang Shuang back.

"You don't understand anything. I'll tell you when I get back." Zhong Wanshan said in a low voice.

But Yang Shuang was determined to help Zhong Huaishuang in the audition, and she cried and made a fuss all the way. Finally, Zhong Wanshan couldn't stand it anymore and knocked Yang Shuang unconscious.

After waking up, he realized that he was back home, and he angrily cursed at Zhong Wanshan.

Zhong Wanshan had long been accustomed to her bad temper, so he said nothing and let her scold and smash things.

When he was tired and could no longer curse, he said, "Have you cursed enough? Can you listen to me now?"

Yang Shuang yelled angrily, "Not enough!"

After cursing, she started coughing violently.

"Think about it, the Emperor and the Empress have such a good relationship, and they've gone through so many hardships to get to where they are today. Do you think they would be willing to hold a beauty pageant shortly after the Emperor ascends the throne, allowing other women to snatch their husband's love?

You've been with me for so many years, and you're still unwilling to take a concubine for me..."

Before Zhong Wanshan could finish his words, Yang Shuang twisted his ear, causing him to scream in pain.

"How dare you mention taking a concubine to me? I think you did it on purpose!"

"Please spare me, my lady. How could I say that on purpose? I was just reminding you not to waste your time and energy on destroying the relationship between our family and the Emperor and Empress."

"You have a point."

Although Zhong Wanshan said so and Yang Shuang believed it to some extent, she still planned to go out quietly to prepare for Zhong Huaishuang.

But the next day, as soon as she went out, she saw people from the palace going door to door to pick up all the people who had registered to enter the palace yesterday.
