When Ying'er returned from the main courtyard, she looked at Liu Zhu in front of her thoughtfully.

Liu Zhu was tragically killed by a knife in the palace while seeking medical treatment for Zhen Huan. The loyal Liu Zhu should not have had such an ending.

It would be better to let Ying'er take Liuzhu's place in the palace, at least Liuzhu would not die tragically at such a young age.

The next morning, Yu'er took out the silver she had collected and left the house.

Liuzhu and Huanbi also left the house to pick up An Lingrong.

No matter how pitiful An Lingrong is, she was born into an official family, which makes her ten times better than a servant like Ying'er. Ying'er is not a person who would be kind without any intention.

Three days before entering the palace, Liu Zhu suddenly fell ill and had rashes all over her body.

Yun Xinluo was afraid that Liuzhu's disease might be contagious, so she wanted to send her to the farm, but Zhen Huan stopped her and sent Liuzhu to the remote and uninhabited north courtyard.

An Lingrong seemed to have discovered something and looked at Ying'er who was busy nearby.

Ying'er noticed a gaze and turned around to meet An Lingrong's eyes.

The two looked at each other, and Yu'er smiled faintly without any guilt.

An Lingrong turned her eyes away first and twirled the handkerchief with her fingers.

Liu Zhu will not recover in three to five days, so a quota for a maid to enter the palace will be vacant.

In addition to Ying'er, there was another maid named Hua'er who was of suitable age and background. Both of them were called in front of Zhen Huan.

After the two entered the room, they bowed and said, "Greetings, young master, and madam."

Zhen Huan asked the two to stand up. After looking at them, Zhen Huan asked, "Now there is a quota for entering the palace. Do you have any plans to enter the palace?"

Huaer glanced at Ying'er and said, "My lady, I am the best at serving others. I want to accompany you into the palace."

The flower is quite beautiful, and its eyes are rolling around.

Ying'er looked honest, and waited until Huakai had finished speaking before she spoke: "My lord, I will obey you."

Zhen Huan and Yun Xinluo looked at each other and said, "Yin'er, go back and get ready. Come to serve me tomorrow and accompany me into the palace on the 15th."

Huaer was a little dissatisfied, but it only showed a little on her face, and then she lowered her head.

Yu'er still replied honestly: "Yes, I will obey your command."

On the eve of entering the palace, Aunt Fangruo was still in Zhen Mansion teaching An Lingrong and Zhen Huan the rules of the palace.

Aunt Fangruo said, "Young ladies cannot be called empresses when they enter the palace. They can only be called empresses after they become concubines. An empress is the main seat of a palace, and only the main empress can live in the main hall."

Ying'er listened at the side and looked at Zhen Huan.

Although Zhen Huan was a Changzai with a title, she was still far from the position of a concubine. As soon as she entered the palace, she lived in the main hall.

Fang Chunyi, who lived with Zhen Huan in Suiyuxuan, was also a concubine. Not only was Fang Chunyi from the Manchu military flag, but her family background was also better than Zhen Huan's.

Speaking of titles, Fang Chunyi was named Chun Changzai when she entered the palace, so she actually had a title. Why did Cui Jinxi say that Zhen Huan was the only one with a title?

Yu'er shook her head and continued to listen to Aunt Fangruo.

When Aunt Fangruo mentioned Concubine Hua's great favor, An Lingrong asked, "Empress Hua is so favored, why isn't she a noble concubine or an imperial concubine?"

Aunt Fangruo replied, "Because Concubine Hua has no children."

Zhen Huan asked, "I heard that Concubine Hua is extremely beautiful."

Aunt Fangruo replied with a smile: "The eight banners of Manchuria and Mongolia are not as beautiful as Empress Hua Fei."

Zhen Huan replied, "Li Bai once said, how long can you serve a man with your beauty?"

Ying'er took a look at Zhen Huan's appearance and thought to herself: If Zhen Huan looked like me, wouldn't she have been chosen in the palace selection?

When the emperor chooses concubines, he not only looks at their family background but also their appearance. Who doesn't use beauty to please a woman?
