Seeing this, Shen Meizhuang wanted to know more about Zhen Huan's situation. Just as she was about to go forward to find He Zhu, she was stopped by the disciplinary nanny.
“Miss Shen, this old servant knows that you and Zhen are close, but now Zhen has been sent back to the mansion by the Emperor. The Emperor’s decision is not something that a mere candidate can change.”
Grandpa He once said, "You also need to think about your family. Don't let your sisterly affection drag your family into trouble!"
Hearing the words of the disciplinary nanny, Shen Meizhuang did hesitate. In the instant she hesitated, He Zhu had already left Chuxiu Palace.
"Thank you for your guidance, Granny!" Shen Meizhuang curtsied to the supervising nanny.
Seeing that Shen Meizhuang had taken her words to heart, the discipline nanny nodded in satisfaction.
After leaving Chuxiu Palace, He Zhu whispered a few words to the eunuch beside him.
The young eunuch understood immediately and said, "Master, don't worry, I know what to do!"
The supervising nanny then said to the young ladies, "You should all stay quietly in Chuxiu Palace for a few days. It's good for you, it's good for me, and it's best if we all live in peace, isn't it?"
"Yes, we will follow your instructions, Madam!" the young ladies replied in unison.
Just as the young ladies were about to leave, they saw someone whisper a few words in the ear of the supervising matron, whose expression changed drastically.
The supervising nanny said sternly, "This old servant knows that you young ladies are proud and ambitious, and want to enter the palace to serve the emperor. But this old servant reminds you not to take chances, or you might lose your lives."
Zhen Huan went to Yimei Garden hoping to create a chance encounter with the Emperor, but I don't need to tell you the result!
The Emperor wants to select concubines for the palace. There's no need to hide it; no one can stop him. Since the Emperor has spoken, he won't go back on his word, so keep your little schemes to yourselves!
One of the young ladies-in-waiting asked indignantly, "Granny, didn't the Emperor already bestow the title of Consort An?"
Why can An Changzai do it, but we can't?
The supervising matron sneered at the young lady who had spoken, "Because Her Majesty the Empress has taken a liking to Consort An, if you also want the Emperor to bestow a title upon you, you can try to win the Empress's favor!"
The young woman pouted in dissatisfaction, secretly envying An Lingrong's good fortune.
"Ladies, get ready for the second round of selection the day after tomorrow!" With that, the disciplinary matron left.
Shen Meizhuang had considered all the possibilities for Zhen Huan being sent out of the palace, but she hadn't expected this. ["Huan'er doesn't even want to participate in the selection, how could she possibly want to enter the palace? Is there some misunderstanding here?"]
The young lady who had spoken earlier walked up to Shen Meizhuang indignantly, "Weren't you close to Zhen Huan? Why didn't Zhen Huan invite you when she went to see the Emperor? It seems your relationship isn't all that great after all!"
"But it's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise you would have left the palace with your best friend too!" After saying that, she covered her mouth and giggled.
"It seems you envy Huan'er for meeting the Emperor. Huan'er didn't lose out; she finally got to see the Emperor after going to the palace. Unlike some people, who have no way to see the Emperor and can only vent their anger elsewhere!" Shen Meizhuang said gently.
“You…” The young lady pointed her finger at Shen Meizhuang in anger.
"I think some people are just sour grapes!"
"Don't blame others if you're incompetent! If you're so capable, go to the Qing Palace and stop the Emperor! What are you doing showing off here?" Nian Shilan couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to speak.
"Everyone, hurry up and prepare for the second round of auditions the day after tomorrow. Don't crowd around here!" Qi Yuebin said to the onlookers.
Seeing that Nian Shilan and Qi Yuebin were speaking up for Shen Meizhuang, the young lady could only leave awkwardly.
