When Mei Xi came through, Xia Dongchun's body was about to enter the palace for selection.

Xia Dongchun is naturally beautiful and likes to wear gorgeous clothes.

Because she is young and has not yet developed her temperament, she cannot control her clothes, and instead, they make her look vulgar.

Now that Meixi was inside the shell, Xia Dongchun's body had changed, and her temperament had completely changed. She was no longer arrogant and vulgar, and her eyes were filled with tears. Instead, she had a temperament that everyone could pity.

She changed out of the clothes Xia Dongchun had been wearing, chose a new set of clothes, and also changed the dazzling accessories on her head.

Xia Dongchun, who came out again, looked elegant and refined. She still had the same face, but she looked three times more beautiful.

Mother Xia looked at the changed Xia Dongchun with a look of disbelief on her face.

After a few pauses, Xia's mother tearfully began to instruct Xia Dongchun on all matters related to entering the palace for the selection.

Mei Xi has no memory of Xia Dongchun, so she deals with Xia's mother according to normal thinking.

Fortunately, Xia's mother was worried that her daughter would get into trouble in the palace, so she didn't pay too much attention to her daughter's difference from usual.

After entering the palace, the beautiful ladies waited outside the hall.

Xia Dongchun saw palace maids carrying hot tea and serving it everywhere. In order to avoid being scalded by the hot tea, Xia Dongchun found a corner to stand.

Someone familiar came over to greet Xia Dongchun, and Xia Dongchun greeted him with a smile.

The two people who greeted each other were a little surprised, but then they thought about the place they were in and understood why Xia Dongchun was so polite.

As the three of them were exchanging pleasantries, they heard a scream and saw a concubine being splashed with hot tea.

Another flustered concubine was seen apologizing repeatedly: "It's all my fault. I apologize to you."

The concubine who was splashed with water frowned slightly and was pulled over by another concubine to be asked if she was burned.

After a while, the girl who was splashed with water spoke up: "I am Zhen Huan, the daughter of the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. May I know what to call you, sister?"

The girl opposite replied: "I, I am An Lingrong, the daughter of the magistrate of Songyang County."

Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong, pulled the maid next to her and said, "This is Shen Meizhuang, the daughter of Shen Zishan, the assistant commander of Jizhou. Since it was an unintentional mistake, I will not hold it against you."

After saying that, Zhen Huan pulled Shen Meizhuang out of the palace in a hurry, presumably to change clothes.

Xia Dongchun took a few glances and didn't care about what was happening between these people.

When entering the palace for selection, the emperor looked at Xia Dongchun and said, "Xia, raise your head."

Xia Dongchun raised his head but lowered his eyes.

These are all things that Xia's mother kept reminding her of, otherwise, Mei Xi in Xia Dongchun's shell would have no idea.

The emperor was attracted by Xia Dongchun's temperament and could not help reciting a poem: "There is Shi Meixi, with clear eyes and eyebrows. She is dressed in colorful clothes and flies gracefully. She is like crystal raindrops, and people pity her."

Xia Dongchun raised her eyes in surprise, and the tears in her eyes shocked the emperor again: "It is indeed crystal clear jade dew."

The Queen Mother on the side frowned and said, "Mei Xi is a demon concubine."

The emperor coughed lightly and said, "Xia, leave the plaque and give the sachet as a gift."

The Queen Mother said nothing more and had an average impression of Xia Dongchun.

Xia Dongchun bowed and thanked the emperor: "Your servant Xia Dongchun thanks the emperor and the queen mother."

The emperor was very satisfied. After such a long time of selection, he finally found someone he liked.

The emperor did not even look at the two rows of beauties that came in behind him. He was still thinking about what kind of title to give Xia Dongqing.

Until I heard the Queen Mother say: "Others looked unhappy when they were put down, but you know the rules."

The emperor was brought back to his senses. He glanced at the concubine lying on the ground and said, "She is a woman who knows the rules. It would be appropriate to grant her to Yunli as a princess."
