"My son, with his good looks and figure, good temperament, and youthful vivacity, will undoubtedly be favored after entering the palace. However, mother hopes that you will remember not to become arrogant due to your favor, and certainly not to devote your heart to His Majesty. A man's infatuation can be overcome, but a woman's infatuation cannot be explained. You must remember to guard your heart. Whether His Majesty comes or not, whether He favors you or not, you must live your life well."
Xu Lingyi nodded heavily.
"If you are favored, mother doesn't need you to do anything for the family, nor do you need to bring glory to the family. You just need to remember that as long as you live well, it is the best for the family. If you fall out of favor, don't be afraid. If you have nothing to do, read some books and live a good life."
Xu Lingyi nodded heavily. She would certainly not give her heart away, nor would she ever fall in love with the emperor, nor would she worry about gains and losses because of the emperor.
"Don't worry, mother. I won't be like that. I am your daughter, and I won't be a woman who can't live without a man."
Mrs. Xu nodded, but she didn't quite believe it.
She still remembered what Xu Lingyi said some time ago, and kept repeating the same words.
But it's always good for her to express her opinion.
After Xu Lingyi left, Madam Xu called Nanny Zhang in and gave her detailed instructions for nearly two hours.
Until the end, Nanny Zhang came out wiping her sweat.
"Actually, Madam, you're worrying too much. In my opinion, the young lady won't have a hard time after entering the palace. The Xu family is close to the emperor, and for their sake, the young lady's life will be guaranteed. Secondly, our young lady has such good conditions, and there's no other like her in the whole world. There's no reason for His Majesty not to favor our young lady."
She wouldn't say whether she loved him or not, as she didn't believe in it, but she would definitely love and pamper him to the fullest, unless the emperor was blind.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have neglected her daughter.
Mrs. Xu is confused because of her concern.
————
In the past half month, Xu Lingyi, apart from worshiping Buddha and praying with her mother, has been accompanying her mother and sisters-in-law.
She also sent the letter to her father and brother to the border, hoping that her father and brother would not be angry with her.
Even though she wished time would go slower, the time had come for her to enter the palace.
On the day of departure, Mrs. Xu held back her tears and saw Xu Lingyi off.
Even though she tried hard not to lose her composure, Mrs. Xu couldn't help herself when she sent her daughter to the carriage.
She followed the carriage unconsciously until her sisters-in-law stopped Mrs. Xu.
Xu Lingyi looked back. The only thing she cared about in this world was her family. She entered the palace for revenge, but in fact, wasn't it also to protect her family?
Father and brother will have to return to Beijing sooner or later within two years. They can hide from Princess Minghua for a while, but they cannot hide from her forever.
In the harem, many people were restless when they knew that the daughter of the Xu family was going to enter the palace.
"Being named a concubine right after entering the palace is truly an honor."
Some people couldn't help but feel jealous, thinking about how they had been in the palace for so many years and had never been promoted to the position of concubine.
His Majesty is extremely stingy with the positions of concubines. Except for the Royal Concubine who has made great contributions to childbirth, everyone else has always been in a low position.
