Zhen Yuyao was dressed simply and stood out among the row of beauties.

The row of beauties started with Shen Meizhuang. The emperor was very pleased with her and she was quickly chosen.

Then Zhen Huan's name was called, and Zhen Yuyao knelt down to greet her.

The emperor asked again which Huan Zhen Huan was, and Zhen Yuyao replied: "Your Majesty, the Huan in Langhuan Fudi is my maiden name."

The emperor nodded and said: "Langhuan refers to the immortal land, and also refers to the place where precious books are collected. I just don't know if you can bear this name and hold your head up high."

Zhen Yuyao raised his head slowly, but lowered his eyes and could not look directly at the emperor.

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor looked at each other. The Empress Dowager saw that Zhen Yuyao only looked two or three points like Chun Yuan, and did not mention the question of Zhen Huan's surname.

The emperor asked, "What books have you read?"

Zhen Yuyao replied, "I read a lot of Analects and some poetry."

The emperor asked again: "Do you have any favorite poems?"

Zhen Yuyao blushed slightly: "I appreciate the elegance of plum blossoms and pay more attention to the poems praising plum blossoms."

After a pause, Zhen Yuyao continued, "Please allow me to read two lines of the poem praising the red plum blossoms in winter: It still has the appearance of snow and frost, but is not yet completely red."

When the emperor heard about the red plum, he was stunned for a few breaths before speaking: "Zhen Yuandao taught his daughter well. The Yimei Garden in the palace is planted with red plums. You can enjoy the red plums with me in winter."

The Queen Mother also spoke up: "She is a dignified one."

Su Peisheng received the signal and began to sing: "The concubine Zhen Huan left a name card and was given a sachet."

Zhen Yuyao knelt down to express her gratitude: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother."

As for Sun Miaoqing who was by Zhen Yuyao's side, the Queen Mother did not take any action against Zhen Yuyao, so Sun Miaoqing was not frightened and would not be chosen forever.

Sun Miaoqing was just given a sign and can still get married normally after returning home.

After coming out of the palace selection, Shen Meizhuang's expression became even lighter. She walked to Zhen Yuyao and said, "The origin of Huan'er's name is Huan Huan's waist in the Chu Palace."

Zhen Yuyao turned her head to look at Shen Meizhuang: "Sister Mei, you are also quite knowledgeable about poetry and literature, don't you know that this is an erotic poem?"

Shen Meizhuang seemed to have just understood and stood there thinking.

Zhen Yuyao kept walking and did not stay by his side.

Soon, Aunt Sun, who was beside the emperor, caught up with Zhen Yuyao and safely escorted her out of the palace.

When they returned to the Zhen Mansion, the whole family was waiting at the door of the Zhen Mansion, and they all knelt down and paid homage to Zhen Yuyao.

Zhen Yuyao just stood there and accepted the greetings from the whole family.

Huanbi, who always looked down on people and followed Zhen Huan, became very upset when she saw Zhen Yuyao like this.

There was a hint of unnaturalness on Zhen Yuandao's face, and Yun Xinluo looked even more displeased.

Zhen Yurao spoke directly: "Sister, as soon as she was selected, she received gifts from the whole family. She really got carried away when she was so proud."

Zhen Yuyao's face turned cold, and he looked at Zhen Yuan and said, "Father, what is the relationship between a ruler and his subjects?"

Zhen Yuandao turned his head to Zhen Yurao and said, "Yurao, stop being naughty."

There was no intention of blaming her at all, she just thought Zhen Yurao was young and naughty.

After entering the mansion, Zhen Yuyao was invited to the main courtyard.

The other people in the main hall were sent away, leaving only Zhen Yuandao and Zhen Yuyao. Zhen Yuandao pushed the tray on the table forward and said, "Please accept these jewelry. From today on, you will move to Qiyun Pavilion."

Zhen Yuyao looked at the jewelry on the tray, which were just the ones Zhen Huan wore everyday. Zhen Yuyao pushed the tray back and said, "It's still in time for my daughter to remake her jewelry. If I use these jewelry from my elder sister, I'm afraid it will make her even more sad."

Zhen Yuandao nodded somewhat angrily, secretly blaming Yun Xinluo for her muddle-headedness.

Zhen Yuyao said again: "My daughter met a beautiful girl during the palace selection. Father will go and ask about it tomorrow. If the beautiful girl is selected, you can bring her to the mansion."

Zhen Yuandao nodded immediately. This was a great thing. Two concubines from the same family was an honor that even big families didn't have.
