"That prince is really too much. He smiled very gently when he received the purse, and said that he was grateful for the lady's affection and would definitely keep the appointment on time.
As a result, my lady waited until the store closed, but still didn't see him!
Not to mention the young lady, even this servant was so angry that she couldn't sleep that night!"
Liu Zhu looked at the haggard Zhen Cai in the mirror and felt distressed and angry.
I feel sorry for my young lady's health. She has such a precious status and such a beautiful face, and yet there is a man who is willing to let her become haggard!
What made her angry was that even if the man was a prince, he shouldn't hurt her young lady like this!
Besides, the man clearly promised to show up on time!
The more Liu Zhu thought about it, the angrier he became. He put the comb in his hand on the dressing table with a bang and turned around to walk out.
"No, we can't just let this matter go. I'll go to the palace and ask the prince for clarification.
Whatever the reason is, you must give us a reason!"
"Liu Zhu, don't go."
Zhen Cai, who had been motionless all the time, finally moved. She grabbed Liu Zhu's wrist and cried softly while biting her lips.
A pair of ink-like eyes, red and shining with water light.
Seeing this made Liu Zhu feel even more distressed. She couldn't help but shed tears and cried out in a trembling voice.
“But Liu Zhu couldn’t bear to see the young lady being wronged, and was even more worried that she would be sad in the future.
Let's find out the reason so we don't feel uncomfortable without knowing the reason, okay?"
"No, you shouldn't go. Maybe he was just delayed by something. After all, he was heading to the palace at that time. Maybe he got stuck in the palace..."
Zhen Qia's voice was hoarse and dry.
She didn't dare let Liu Zhu go to the palace to find that man.
The reason why he didn't dare was not because he was worried that Liu Zhu's harsh words would anger Feng Yinli too much and bring about his own death.
But I am worried that I will be sad after asking clearly.
Yes, although she repeatedly emphasized to herself that she and Feng Yinli were a very loving couple in her previous life and that this man loved her very much, she believed that even if she were to be reborn, this man would fall in love with her the moment he met her.
But she was actually uncertain in her heart.
Because she was not sure, she made two preparations.
The first plan was to meet Feng Yinli before the audition, develop feelings for him, and become a couple and live together forever.
The second plan is to follow the trajectory of her previous life and enter the palace for selection, but after entering the palace, she will not accept the emperor's favor. She will wait until he falls in love with her and then give up her complete self to him.
But now it seems that the first plan has failed.
Feng Yinli did not fall in love with her the first time he met her as she expected, but ignored her.
Ignored twice.
This fact really made her feel uncomfortable...
However, Zhen Qia was unwilling to admit that she was ignored by Feng Yinli, so she found an excuse for Feng Yinli, saying that it was not that he did not want to come, but that he was tripped up by the people in the palace.
At this moment, Huanbi's figure ran in happily from outside.
"Miss, Miss! Master said there's good news from the palace. You've passed the preliminary round of the selection and can prepare to participate in the palace selection!"
"What? Miss was selected?"
Liu Zhu went from being furious to being shocked, and then looked at Zhen Qia in panic.
"That won't work. Miss doesn't want to participate in the talent show. She already..."
"It is indeed good news, Haobi. Go tell the master that your daughter will definitely prepare well and work hard for the upcoming palace selection."
Zhen Qia interrupted Liu Zhu and told Huan Bi to reply.
Huanbi's face was full of excitement and joy, and she nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, Miss, as long as you've figured it out, I'll go and reply right away. If the Master knew your current attitude, he would be very happy!"
After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.
Liu Zhu looked at Zhen Qia in a daze.
"Miss, you already have a lover, why do you still want..."
"Although I already have someone in my heart, I can't be too selfish. I should also consider my parents and family. My father has no sons, so he can only rely on me and Zhenyu.
According to the rules, all women of marriageable age from aristocratic families had to participate in the selection, otherwise their parents and family would be punished.
I cannot put my parents in danger just because of my own selfish desires.
Right now, I can only pray to the Bodhisattva to bless me and let me fail the palace selection, so that I can go home and get married to my sweetheart.
But I can’t say I don’t want to participate in the draft now, I have to reassure my parents.”
Zhen Cai lowered her head, picked up a gold hairpin inlaid with pearls, and slowly gave an explanation.
Well, yes, the reason why she was willing to participate in the palace selection was for her parents and her family, not because of her own wish.
She was not indecisive and deliberately left herself a way out.
In the future, if Feng Yinli asked her about this, she would use this explanation.
Liu Zhu was a girl with a simple mind, and she trusted Zhen Qia very much, so she immediately nodded when she heard that.
"I knew that the young lady was a person who understood the greater good. However, this is really unfair to the young lady."
"For my father, mother, and the whole family, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little."
Zhen Cai said slowly, then put the pearl hairpin into Liu Zhu's hand.
"Hurry up and get dressed. People from Hongyanfang and Jinxiuyuan will be delivering rouge, powder, and fabrics today. You will help me choose them carefully then."
After a girl passes the preliminary selection, she has to prepare for the palace selection. Her family has to prepare new clothes and jewelry so that her daughter can participate in the next round of palace selection with dignity.
Zhen Qia no longer had any hope for Feng Yinli at this moment, and she instead focused all her attention on the palace selection.
Strive to be selected to enter the palace in one fell swoop, and create another opportunity to meet Feng Yinli in the palace.
As expected, the Zhen family soon became lively.
In the palace.
Feng Yinli had just woken up.
There was still a blush on her face from a hangover, and her eyes were red under her long eyelashes, making her look very broken.
His long, thick black hair fell on his shoulders, and the collar of his white silk pajamas was open, revealing his delicate collarbone.
The whole person looks lazy and charming.
She doesn't look like a man, but more like a girl.
At this moment, Ajin came in with tea. When he looked up and saw this scene, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly lowered his eyes, not daring to look again.
The master of his family inherited the empress dowager's great beauty and was born very handsome.
Every time at this time, he felt that the master was a girl, and a very seductive girl.
If it weren't for the constraints of etiquette and morality, if it weren't for the distinction between master and slave, he wouldn't dare to act rashly. Even he...
"Your Highness, this freshly brewed green tea tastes delicious. Would you like to rinse your mouth?"
"Um……"
Feng Yinli hummed, took a sip of tea from Ajin's hand, and then spat it into the cup next to him.
Her long feathery eyelashes trembled, and when she spoke again, her voice was hoarse.
"Headache……"
