"Okay, let's go."
"yes."
After Furong served the shredded chicken porridge to Mu Sili, Mu Sili finally remembered that she would have to enter the palace for the selection tomorrow.
"Furong, go and rest. I'm going to sleep."
"yes."
When Furong heard that Mu Sili was going to sleep, she almost cried. She had been looking forward to it for a long time and finally she saw her fall asleep.
The next morning, Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei sent Mu Sili to the palace gate. Watching her walk into the palace step by step, they felt as if they were separated forever.
"Pear!"
"What happened, brother?"
"If you don't win the selection this time, I will personally choose a husband for you and buy you a house next to the Tong Mansion. You and he can move in there and I will never let you suffer any injustice."
"And second brother, don't worry, Li'er, with the brothers here, we will never let you suffer any injustice."
"Okay, if I really don't get chosen, then I'll cling to my two brothers."
Watching Mu Sili's figure disappear in front of the palace gate, Tong Guogang suddenly turned around and looked at Tong Guowei.
"Brother, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Tong Lao Er, you can do it. If I hadn't wanted to go see my sister before I went to sleep yesterday, I wouldn't have known that you were already looking for your brother-in-law behind my back. Good, very good."
When Tong Guowei heard this, he knew that his recent actions had been exposed, so he ran away. He was not stupid, and if he was caught by his elder brother, he would definitely be beaten up.
Besides, he did this for his sister's own good. After all, their Tong family was a Han army banner, not as noble as those Manchu and Mongolian noble ladies, so they would definitely not be selected.
Since that's the case, of course he has to find a good candidate for his sister-in-law before him. By then, his sister will definitely be very grateful to him as her second brother and will be best friends with him in the future.
As for the eldest brother, he is focused on defending the country anyway, so he doesn't need to worry about such trivial matters as finding a brother-in-law, so as not to delay his achievements.
Seeing Tong Guowei running away, Tong Guogang sneered. Tong Laoer was as stupid as ever. Hadn't he heard that the monk could escape but the temple couldn't? He ran away now, but could he still run away after returning home?
On that day, Tong Guowei was beaten up by Tong Guogang so badly that his biological father Tong Yangzheng almost didn't recognize him.
In Chuxiu Palace, all the concubines gathered together. The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet because of Mu Sili's arrival.
"Who is that?"
A group of people looked at Mu Sili's appearance with worried expressions. She was so attractive that even she couldn't help but look at her secretly.
"Looking at her appearance and attire, she looks like a princess of the Han army. I wonder what family she belongs to. She is so beautiful, yet not a single piece of news about her has been spread to the outside world."
"How did she manage to have such a pair of seductive fox eyes that don't seduce people, but instead make people like her more and more the more they look at her?
With such a look, she must enter the palace. Not to mention the emperor, even I am so moved by her. If she enters the palace, what will happen to us?"
"Why, do you want to drive her out of the palace?"
"No, I simply think she is too beautiful. If she enters the palace, I am afraid I will be lost in the harem, so I decided not to enter the palace.
With my family background, it's possible for me to marry into the imperial clan. Why would I want to enter the palace and become an unloved concubine?"
These words reminded the people around them that they seemed to be inferior to Mu Sili in nothing except family background. If that was the case, why would they enter the palace?
The emperor is no longer the person who needed the empress dowager's help. Now that the court is stable, he will definitely do things according to his own preferences.
Mu Sili didn't know what they were thinking. She looked at the people around her. If she remembered correctly, the famous Dong Efei was also among the concubines in this session.
Soon, a gentle-looking and weak-as-a-bone woman appeared in her sight. If nothing unexpected happened, she was Dong Efei Wu Yunzhu.
As if she felt her gaze, Dong E looked at her and then showed a look of disgust, which was seen clearly by Mu Sili.
Dislike? Maybe it's jealousy.
Upon learning that Mu Sili had entered the palace, Wu Liangfu hurried into the Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty, please go and see if that girl has entered the palace?"
Shunzhi slowly stood up. He wanted to confirm whether the other person was the one he dreamed of. Only after seeing her could he decide what position to give her.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and catch up."
"yes."
When Wu Liangfu saw him like this, he knew that Mu Sili was at least a concubine. She had just entered the palace and the emperor came to see her. This was a treatment that ordinary people did not have.
When he arrived at Chuxiu Palace, Shunzhi saw Mu Sili in the crowd. At that moment, he actually felt a sense of relief.
It was her, the person who often appeared in his dreams in the past month. He could not be mistaken about her figure and appearance.
"Let's go."
"yes."
Dong E had seen Shunzhi a long time ago, and she was a little tempted. If she could become an imperial concubine, it would definitely be better than being a member of the royal family.
Especially since Shunzhi was looking in her direction just now, he must be looking at her.
He has tasted all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, so it's time for him to try her, a simple vegetable.
Except for Dong E, everyone else was thinking about not being selected. After all, they were not as good as Mu Sili. If they entered the palace with her, they would only be left out.
Dong E, on the other hand, was full of confidence in herself. She felt that Shunzhi had taken a fancy to her and would definitely take her into the harem.
As for the threat from Mu Sili, she felt that she was not to be feared at all. As long as she used all her strength, she would be able to defeat her.
The selection officially began. Shunzhi looked all the way around but didn't like any of them. Xiaozhuang and the Queen were a little surprised. How could he not like any of the many noble ladies?
"Fulin, you should choose at least a few. There are few heirs in the harem, so choosing a few can help expand the royal family."
"Empress Mother, doesn't my son already have Fuquan? It's not like he has no children, so why worry?
Besides, my son is still young, so there is no need to worry about having an heir; there will always be one."
"As long as you have your own plan, it's all good. No matter how much I say, it's useless. You still have to like it."
Another row of noble ladies withdrew, and finally it was the turn of Dong E and Mu Sili's team.
Xiaozhuang clearly noticed that Shunzhi's eyes had changed. She quickly looked down and saw Mu Sili at a glance.
"Su Ma, whose is that?"
"The Tong family, I mentioned it to you before."
Su Malagu's words reminded Xiaozhuang of what she had told her before: Shunzhi dreamed of a woman. It seemed that this was the person.
After all, it was the person her son liked, so she was happy to oblige him. This just happened to strengthen their mother-son relationship and lay the foundation for Qiqige to gain favor in the future.
