Just when Concubine Lin was looking very proud, the old emperor suddenly turned around and looked at her.
Lin was given that look. She shuddered instantly and lowered her head quickly.
She forgot how she could be so proud and proud in front of the old emperor. She was simply not knowing how to live or die.
Fortunately, the old emperor just glanced at her and said nothing.
The old emperor ordered Eunuch Lian.
"Princess Yanlin, your current status is not suitable. Except for her, the other noble ladies will continue to participate in the selection of concubines."
Eunuch Lian nodded and was about to go out to announce the decree.
It happened that the emperor's eldest grandson and Shen Jialin came to ask for a meeting.
They saluted to the old emperor together.
The emperor's eldest grandson stood up and spoke quickly.
"Grandpa Emperor, can we put today's selection of concubines on hold? Let's wait until we are in Yanlin County and feel better before making the selection."
This clearly shows that she has been identified as Princess Yanlin.
The eldest grandson of the emperor asked this question because he wanted to test the old emperor and see if he agreed. Hua Wanru continued to choose a concubine.
The old emperor frowned but didn't speak.
Shen Jialin quickly bowed.
"This is absolutely unacceptable."
The old emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"Oh, why not? Jialin, tell me."
Shen Jialin was under tremendous pressure. He looked up at the old emperor and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Uncle, Miss Hua fell into the water just now. Jialin was so anxious to save her that she didn't even consider the difference between men and women."
"Now……"
Shen Jialin gritted her teeth, thought for a moment and continued.
"Women wear thin clothes in summer. After Miss Hua fell into the water, her clothes were stuck to her body. She was almost naked..."
"Jia Lin was in an awkward position to save Miss Hua, so it was inevitable that we would be in close contact with each other."
"So! We have had physical contact."
The emperor's eldest grandson gritted his teeth and quickly refuted.
"My cousin is also eager to save people. I don't care."
Shen Jialin ignored him and continued to look at the emperor.
"I am willing to take responsibility for Miss Hua. Please grant my wish, uncle. Let me marry Miss Hua."
"No, Grandpa Huang, you can't do that."
The old emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people below, but did not speak.
Instantly, the whole hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. It was terrifyingly quiet.
At this time, the prince, who was sitting aside with little presence, spoke helplessly.
"Cheng'er, don't make trouble. Princess Yanlin is no longer suitable to be your eldest grandson's consort."
The emperor's eldest grandson froze.
Concubine Lin's eyes flickered slightly, thinking that Hua Wanru had helped her so much, she should give something back.
So, she said in a low voice.
"Although Princess Yanlin was wearing thin clothes and was soaked, she was still wearing clothes. She didn't really lose her virginity!"
"If the eldest grandson of the emperor likes it, it's not a bad idea." Concubine Lin's voice became softer and softer, but she also expressed her meaning.
The prince frowned, a little unhappy. But Concubine Lin was his father's concubine. He couldn't refute it openly, so he didn't say anything.
The eldest grandson of the emperor looked at Concubine Lin with gratitude, and silently remembered her kindness in his heart.
Shen Jialin frowned and couldn't help but clench her hands quietly.
Princess Xinrong, who was standing outside the palace, stamped her feet anxiously, but there was nothing she could do.
If she did anything else, it would be too deliberate.
It's easy to make things worse. The most important thing now is what the emperor wants.
The old emperor rubbed his forehead, his eyes full of impatience.
"Let's listen to the prince on this matter." This sentence is confirmed and cannot be changed.
The prince smiled and nodded.
He looked at the emperor's eldest grandson and said.
"Okay, stop making trouble. Your grandfather is very busy and doesn't have time to take care of you all the time."
"Today, all the noble ladies have arrived. Let's start the selection of concubines."
The emperor's eldest grandson seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant and did not respond for a long time.
The prince looked at him unhappily.
"Cheng'er?"
The old emperor glanced at Eunuch Lian.
Eunuch Lian understood and quickly went down to help the emperor's eldest grandson up and led him to his seat.
Seeing this, Shen Jialin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up and left consciously, and walked out the door directly.
When he turned a corner, he saw Princess Xinrong looking at him with a smile.
"Cousin, when will you invite me to your wedding?"
Shen Jialin smiles!
"I will go to Anguo Kungfu to propose marriage after I report to my mother."
"Oh, then I'll be waiting for your good news."
"good!"
Shen Jialin was still a little worried and wondered how Hua Wanru was doing now.
He looked at the corner where Hua Wanru was. He wanted to go over and take a look, but he was afraid of being rude.
"Oh, cousin, I'm here with you, you should leave the palace quickly. Aren't you going to talk to your aunt? Go quickly!" Princess Xinrong pushed him with a smile.
His face was rarely red.
He coughed awkwardly.
"We haven't gotten married yet, so I dare not say anything. Please don't ruin Miss Hua's reputation again."
"Okay, I got it! Go ahead!"
Shen Jialin had no choice, and he was really anxious to go back and confirm the marriage with his mother. He could only walk away, looking back every few steps.
In Ziwei Palace, Eunuch Lian summoned the noble lady to come for an audience.
The ladies outside also heard what was said inside. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they knew that Hua Wanru could not participate in the election.
Even Xie Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, feeling lucky that Hua Wanru had escaped the selection of concubines.
Next, it’s up to her!
She took a deep breath and quickly adjusted her clothes and accessories like the other noble ladies. She lined up and walked neatly into the Ziwei Palace.
Xie Mingyue was still standing at the back.
The old emperor had lost his patience. He didn't even raise his head. He just drank his tea quietly.
After all the noble ladies had stood still, Eunuch Lian whispered a reminder to the emperor's eldest grandson.
"Your Highness, if you choose someone as your principal wife, you should give him a jade plaque. If you choose someone as your concubine, you should give him a silver plaque. For the others, you should give them flowers."
