Soon the day of the draft arrived.
Yue Lingwan was a little nervous, and Yan Bao held her hand encouragingly: "Don't worry, cousin will definitely be eliminated. Don't struggle desperately. The harem is not suitable for cousin."
Fortunately, Yue Lingwan couldn't hear Yan Bao's inner thoughts. If she had heard them, she would have been furious.
In this way, all the members of the Shen family knew that Yue Lingwan would not be selected, and they all watched her enter the palace for the selection. After all, they had different thoughts and different positions.
Yue Lingwan represents the Yue family.
Chief Minister Shen represents the Shen family.
Yan Bao wanted to know if the talent show was like the one in the TV series. She wanted to watch the fun, so she persuaded Madam Shen to go to the palace. Knowing that the one in charge of the talent show this time was Concubine Jing, Yan Bao went to ask Concubine Jing to let her go and watch.
Concubine Jing's belly was already showing, but she still didn't say anything and tried to wear loose clothes to avoid being noticed by those who cared.
Yan Bao pretended not to know and was not very close to Concubine Jing. He did not dare to have any physical contact with her. Not to mention that Concubine Jing was afraid that she would not be careful enough, Yan Bao was also afraid that Concubine Jing would accidentally fall and blame her.
"If Yan Bao wants to go and watch the fun, then go ahead. It's nothing anyway, and it's good to kill some time." Concubine Jing also doted on Yan Bao. Such a cute little girl, everyone who saw her would like her.
So, Yan Bao followed to join in the fun.
Mrs. Shen looked at her daughter with an expectant look on her face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Since her daughter has gone, how could Mrs. Shen not go?
The concubines had to learn the rules in the palace for two days before they could begin the selection process before the emperor.
Yue Lingwan had just been sent into the palace, and now she followed Concubine Jing to watch the fun. Yue Lingwan was stunned when she saw Yan Bao and Madam Shen. She almost thought she was seeing things, and greeted them in surprise.
Many concubines knew Yue Lingwan's identity. When they saw the lovely Yan Bao being brought to see them by Concubine Jing, they looked at each other. What was there to not understand? This Yue Lingwan had a strong background!
All the young ladies from the noble families in the capital knew that Princess Taining was favored. If they said a few good words to the emperor, wouldn't Yue Lingwan be given a high position?
Thinking of this, they looked at Yue Lingwan with complicated eyes, who was talking to Yan Bao and the others with a happy face.
Yue Lingwan had no idea that someone was targeting her. She had become a thorn in the eyes of others. If she was not careful, she would be easily bullied in Xiu Nu Garden.
Yan Bao knew, but he didn't say it.
She is not a nanny who has to consider everything for her cousin. She can't even handle this little trouble. It's useless even if she works herself to death.
Besides, my cousin was destined to lose the election, and she didn't want to make any changes.
The harem is not suitable for her, so it’s better not to enter.
Concubine Jing walked around the Garden of Beautiful Women, and Yan Bao also saw many outstanding young and beautiful beauties, each of them like a fresh flower, but they all wanted to become the emperor's woman.
When I think about their age difference, I can only say that the emperor is very lucky.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. Yan Baozhi looked at them without saying anything.
To be honest, her cousin is also outstanding among these beauties. She is a sweet beauty and is very popular.
Fortunately, the emperor was suspicious and scheming, so he did not choose Yue Lingwan. If she had not met that rubbish scholar, Yue Lingwan's life would not have been ruined by that scumbag.
After leaving the Xiu Nu Garden, Concubine Jing felt a little tired. After all, she was pregnant. In addition, she was older than other pregnant women, so she was considered an elderly mother and got tired easily.
Yan Bao saw that Concubine Jing was tired, so he and Madam Shen left tactfully.
Madam Shen thought to herself, Concubine Jing is really patient. Her belly is almost showing, but she is still hiding it. Isn’t she afraid that the emperor will punish her for deceiving the emperor?
I guess she dared to conceal it because she was relying on her status as a mother to have a son!
Madam Shen and the others also went to visit Concubine Jiang. Concubine Jiang's belly was more than four months old and her pregnancy was already obvious. In addition, it was her first child, so Concubine Jiang had a difficult pregnancy. With the emperor's pampering, she became more and more pretentious.
When Concubine Jiang saw Yan Bao, she smiled and pinched her little face, talked for a while, and then asked about the concubines.
Knowing that the Emperor was going to hold a beauty contest, Concubine Jiang couldn't help but feel anxious, angry, or jealous.
Fortunately, she was pregnant, and she could gain honor by having a child.
If you are not pregnant, you don’t know how to panic.
Compared with those concubines, Concubine Jiang knew that her status was low. As soon as she started the selection, she restrained herself a lot, fearing that the emperor would dislike her for being too pretentious, so as not to anger the emperor.
Therefore, Concubine Jiang hoped very much that she was pregnant with a son. If she was unlucky enough to give birth to a daughter, she would have to look like Yan Bao, beautiful and cute, so that the emperor would like her.
Two days passed quickly, and on the day of the Emperor's selection of concubines, Yan Bao also entered the palace. As soon as Concubine Jing saw her, she knew what she was thinking: "Don't worry, Yan Bao, your cousin is doing well in the Selected Girls Garden. As long as the Emperor sees her, he will like her."
Yan Bao gave a perfunctory smile: [Not necessarily. The emperor has no shortage of beauties. His selections are not based on his own preferences, but involve the court. The beauties he chooses are those the emperor wants to win over.]
[The Shen family doesn't need to win over Yue Lingwan right now. One more Yue Lingwan wouldn't make much difference, and one less wouldn't make much difference either. Of course, having no one would be even better.]
Madam Shen admitted that Yan Bao’s analysis was correct, and she only knew it after hearing what Prime Minister Shen said.
No one told Yan Bao these things, but she saw them clearly.
She is indeed a genius baby daughter.
What kind of high box did this couple burn in their previous life to give birth to such a smart daughter?
When Yan Bao saw the emperor, he immediately smiled sweetly, making the emperor's eyes crease with joy. He waved Yan Bao over and asked, "Why did you come to the palace? Um, did you miss me?"
Yan Bao smiled and nodded. Her big eyes spoke volumes. She blinked as she looked at the emperor, which made his heart melt. He couldn't help but pinch her little face. Yan Bao smiled innocently.
