He Xue looked at the roster in her hand. [Nian Shilan, Qi Yuebin, Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, An Lingrong… I never expected to run into people from "The Legend of Zhen Huan," but this time their fates will definitely be rewritten!]
"Aunt, tell Aunt that I will be there during the second round of selections!" He Xue said to Ren Dong.
"Yes, this servant will inform the Imperial Noble Consort!"
After Ren Dong left, Xia Bing asked, "Your Highness, why do you want to go to the re-selection again?"
"Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well go take a look! Seeing such beautiful people will lift my spirits!"
Xia Bing was a little skeptical of He Xue's words. She felt that He Xue's purpose was not so simple, but she had no evidence.
When the Imperial Noble Consort heard that He Xue was going to participate in the re-selection, she already knew from Emperor Kangxi that Emperor Jingning was not taking in any new women into his harem. Now that He Xue was going to participate in the re-selection, did Emperor Jingning have other ideas?
He Xue is now pregnant with twins, and the worst thing to do during pregnancy is to worry. She was worried about He Xue, so she went directly to Kunning Palace.
He Xue was quite surprised to see the Imperial Noble Consort arrive. Hadn't Ren Dong just returned? Why had her aunt come in person again?
"Aunt, what is it that requires your personal trip?" He Xue asked, looking at the Imperial Noble Consort who seemed to be in a hurry.
"I heard you're going to the re-selection? But what are the Emperor's thoughts?" the Imperial Noble Consort asked bluntly.
"What are His Majesty's thoughts?" He Xue asked, puzzled.
"Why are you going to the re-selection? I thought you were going to find a replacement for the Emperor!"
He Xue smiled and said, "Aunt, you've misunderstood. I was just bored, so I wanted to go and take a look!"
"You're heavily pregnant now. There will be many people and chaos during the second round of selections. What if someone bumps into you?" The Imperial Noble Consort disapproved of Xue going.
"Aunt, I'm so bored in Kunning Palace every day. Please let me go out for a walk! I have Qingdai and Xiabing with me, nothing will happen!" He Xue said pitifully to the Imperial Noble Consort.
The Imperial Noble Consort knew that life in the palace was quite boring, but she couldn't let He Xue be in any potential danger. However, she also couldn't bear to refuse He Xue, so she passed the problem on to Emperor Jingning, "The Emperor certainly won't agree, so you should give up on this idea!"
"Aunt, what if the Emperor agrees?"
"If His Majesty agrees, I will not object!" said the Imperial Noble Consort.
"So, Auntie, you've agreed?" He Xue asked excitedly.
"You'd better get past the Emperor first!" the Imperial Noble Consort said helplessly to He Xue.
"Good!" He Xue was confident she could persuade Emperor Jingning. "Aunt, how is Honghui?"
The eldest son of the Fourth Prince was still Honghui, but this Honghui was different from the Honghui in history. Perhaps because the Fourth Prince got married later than in history, Honghui was still relatively strong.
"It's nothing, he just caught a cold a while ago! Minhui spoils Honghui a bit, and when the weather gets cold, she doesn't let him go out. That day, Honghui secretly ran out by himself, and ended up developing a fever in the middle of the night!"
Although the Imperial Noble Consort disapproved of the Fourth Prince's actions, she could only offer her opinions; as for how the Fourth Prince would actually act, she couldn't say much.
"Aunt, I'll talk to Fourth Sister-in-law another day. Children shouldn't be so restrained!"
"Alright, tell me what you think!" The Imperial Noble Consort thought that talking to Xue might be effective, since they were of similar age.
Emperor Jingning returned to Kunning Palace and heard from Hexue that he was going to the re-selection. He only told Hexue to bring more people with her.
"Father, you're secretly grooming a consort for Hongchen!" Emperor Jingning said casually to Hexue.
He Xue looked at Emperor Jingning in utter shock. [Isn't this way too early?]
