On the day of the audition, Ye Jinyun was pulled out of bed early by Qing'er and given a beating.

Ye Jinyun sat in front of the dressing mirror, yawning, watching Qing'er do her makeup.

I saw that her long black hair had been tied up and combed into a flowing bun. There was only a golden peach blossom hairpin in her hair, a pair of green jade earrings in her ears, and only a light touch of black on her face, which made her temperament look even colder and clearer.

After she had done her makeup, Qing'er brought the new clothes that Yang had ordered to be made and helped her change into them.

Ye Jinyun wore a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and misty green grass, which showed off her graceful figure. Her waist was slender and could be held in one hand. The snow-white skin exposed at her neck was so delicate that it seemed as if it could be blown away. From a distance, she looked like a fairy from the Moon Palace, pure and untainted by dust.

After cleaning up and drinking a bowl of Tremella and Lily porridge sent by the kitchen, Ye Jinyun took Qing'er to the front yard.

Ye's father was already waiting in the yard. Looking at Ye Jinyun walking towards him, he was in a trance for a moment.

He vaguely saw in her the appearance of his original wife. Although he had no feelings for Ye Jinyun's mother, she was so noble and otherworldly when he met her in his youth that it was hard for him not to be moved.

But it also made him feel inferior in front of her, so he preferred to pamper the concubines in the room, because only when they were around him could he regain his pride as a man.

Ye Jinyun walked up to her father, bowed respectfully and said, "Daughter greets you, father."

Father Ye put his thoughts aside and nodded: "I'm coming. Wait for your sister and mother."

"Yes," Ye Jinyun answered obediently, and stood sideways not far from Ye's father.

After waiting for a while, Yang came with Ye Jinrong.

Ye Jinrong was dressed very beautifully today, in a honey pink long dress embroidered with pear blossoms and silver thread. The tassels at her waist swayed with her steps, making her look graceful. Her hair was decorated with a golden hairpin, and her loose hair was dotted with pearls, making her stunning little face even more bright and charming, making people feel love and affection.

"My daughter Rong'er is truly stunningly beautiful. She will definitely not disappoint me when she enters the palace for selection this time," said Father Ye with a smile.

Ye Jinrong blushed slightly when she heard her father praising her appearance, and said coquettishly:

"The father would tease his daughter, saying that she couldn't possibly speak as well as her father."

Although he said this, the uncontrollable joy still appeared on his face.

Yang also smiled sweetly and said, "Your father is right. My Rong'er is undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the capital. She will definitely be favored in the palace and rise to prominence."

The whole family was having a great time and joked with each other. Ye Jinyun was already used to this kind of scene, so he didn't get annoyed and waited patiently for them to talk.

After Ye's father finished speaking to his beloved daughter, he turned around and instructed Ye Jinyun:

"Yun'er, don't bring shame to the Ye family in the palace. Your father doesn't expect you to be chosen, it's just a formality. Your sister is beautiful, and there will definitely be people who are jealous. As her elder sister, you must take good care of her and don't let anyone bully her."

Ye Jinyun was speechless. It would be fine if Ye Jinrong didn't bully others. How many people could bully her? But she still agreed respectfully.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye's father asked the servants to bring the prepared carriage and prepare to set off early.

The capital city is extremely bustling today. The streets are filled with carriages carrying concubines from all over the country to the palace for the selection. The roads in the city are crowded, so it is better to set off early to avoid missing the time.

The carriage heading to the palace stopped in front of the gate of the Ye Mansion. After the servant put the stool in place, Qing'er helped Ye Jinyun get on the carriage. Ye Jinrong also sat on the carriage with the help of her personal maid.

The two sisters, escorted by Ye's father, followed the palace convoy and slowly drove towards the imperial palace.

The carriage drove for about a quarter of an hour and then stopped at the side gate of the palace. The young ladies had to get off the carriage and walk in through the side gate.

After Ye's father told the two sisters to be careful and take care of each other in the palace, he let the nanny who came to lead the way take them into the palace.

After watching his two daughters line up to enter the palace gate, Ye's father turned around and went to court, leaving the maid and the carriage waiting outside the palace.
