Originally, when he saw a smile on Chu Yanzi's face, Emperor Yong knew that she was intrigued, but he didn't expect that this beautiful girl was so ignorant. Seeing that the smile on Chu Yanzi's face became increasingly faint, Emperor Yong frowned and looked at Chen Luoxi, with a little displeasure.

"Empress Zhen asked you to change your talents, and you just do it."

When Chen Luoxi heard Chu Yanzi's words, her face turned slightly pale. She was just a little stunned. If she said she didn't want to, it would be impossible. Later, she heard Emperor Yong's words, lowered her head and apologized,

"The emperor and the empress calmed down. It was not that the minister and the daughter were unwilling to do so, but that the daughter and the daughter had prepared paintings before, so she did not bring musical instruments."

"This is all a trivial matter, but just a musical instrument. What are you good at?" Hearing her words, Chu Yanzi smiled a little more in her eyebrows. After saying that, she looked at Emperor Yong beside her. When she saw Emperor Yong nodding, Chu Yanzi smiled a little more sincerely in her eyes.

Chen Luoxi lowered her head, but she did not see the gaze lawsuit between Emperor Yong and Chu Yanzi. She turned her mind. Since the emperor favored Concubine Zhen so much, she must not be too outstanding at this time, otherwise she would have been attracted by Concubine Zhen and would not even pass the election. She had no face to go back. Thinking of this, she spoke,

"When I say to the Empress, my daughter is better at the Guzheng."

Chu Yanzi looked at Emperor Yong. When Emperor Yong saw her eyes, he waved to Zhang Jin beside him and signaled him to pick it up. But in a while, the Guzheng was taken. In fact, Emperor Yong was a little confused. In the past, Ayan was not a person who liked to enjoy the fun. Later, when he thought about it, he realized that she was just a playful mind. If he could make her happy, Emperor Yong would naturally not say anything.

The palace servant arranged the guzheng, and Chen Luoxi sat over. The guzheng in the palace was naturally not a inferior product. Chen Luoxi adjusted the tuning, then looked at the high position, and said with a smile, "Empress, the lady is ready."

Chu Yanzi nodded at her and signaled that she could start. Chen Luoxi didn't know why, but she actually played "Ni Shang". Upon hearing this music, Chu Yanzi raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Luoxi with a bit of temperament. She didn't know whether she did it on purpose or just happened?

Emperor Yong kept paying attention to Chu Yanzi. Seeing her expression change, he asked in confusion, "Ayan, what's wrong?" Listening to the song Chen Luoxi played, it seemed that it was nothing special. Why did Ayan change his face?

After the song ended, Chu Yanzi turned around and looked at Emperor Yong. She still had a light smile on her face and said softly, "The Emperor doesn't know?" Seeing Emperor Yong's expression that was indeed a little confused, Chu Yanzi explained softly,

"When I participated in the re-election, I also played a song "Ni Shang". If I hadn't heard it again here today, I would probably have lost my memory."

After hearing her words, Emperor Yong also understood why she became more interested just now. "I didn't expect it to be so coincidental. Since this is the case, Ayan thinks, whether to stay or not?"

"The Emperor is already here, so I'm naturally listening to the Emperor." Chu Yanzi didn't expect Emperor Yong to ask herself whether to stay or not. How could she know that Emperor Yong was not satisfied with Chen Luoxi, and that she didn't choose her little wife!

"Hey, I'm here today, just listening, and it's still the beloved concubine." Emperor Yong shook his head and signaled that he would not interfere with today's re-election.

I don’t understand why Emperor Yong came today, so Chu Yanzi was too lazy to ask more questions, and glanced at him, “I am the master? I am not afraid that I will take you for something you are not satisfied with?”

Emperor Yong felt that no matter how he answered this question, he touched his nose, and felt guilty inexplicably, and did not dare to look at her, and then said softly, "It's good that Ayan is satisfied."

Chu Yanzi no longer paid attention to him and looked at Concubine Yun with a smile on his face, "Sister Concubine Yun, what do you think?"

Seeing Chu Yanzi ask her, Concubine Yun glanced at Chen Luoxi over there, and then said softly, "The Qinyi is pretty good. If Concubine Zhen thinks it's good, she can stay. After all, there will be a palace choice in the future."

After hearing Concubine Yun's words, Chu Yanzi glanced at Bao Zhaoyi and did not ask her. It was purely because she did not exist and said to the palace servant beside her, "Stay."

The palace servant wrote down the booklet, and Chen Luoxi was obviously relieved. She owed her body and followed the palace servant out.

The next few people were not as generous as Chen Luoxi just now, but Chu Yanzi was not too merciless. As Yun Fei said, it was just a re-election at this time, and it was no big deal to let them pass. After all, for these girls, being able to pass the re-election, even if they did not enter the palace in the end, it was a kind of honor.

The last one is Fu Yunluo, the daughter of King Jing of Qi. She is quite generous, but she is too generous. The smile on the corner of Chu Yanzi's mouth is still hanging on it, watching her performance.

"Fu Yunluo, the daughter of the Marquis of Jinghou of Qi, meets the emperor, Concubine Zhen, Concubine Yun and Concubine Bao Zhaoyi!"

"Get up." It was still what Chu Yanzi said. Looking at the faint arrogant expression on Fu Yunluo's face, Chu Yanzi guessed that it might be because she had been living in Shuzhou, and the Marquis of Qi Jinghou was the local emperor of Shuzhou. Thinking of this, it seems normal that he is so arrogant as the only legitimate daughter of Marquis of Qi Jinghou. However, it may be that Bao Zhaoyi was also so inexplicably arrogant, which led to her not very fond of such women.

After letting Fu Yunluo get up, Chu Yanzi didn't make things difficult for her, "Can you dance?"

"I understand a little about what the Empress said."

I understand a little bit? That's because I'm very proficient. Chu Yanzi smiled, and didn't care about the vague disrespect in her eyes. He asked directly, "Do you want to change your clothes?" No matter what, it's me who is sitting and you who is kneeling. So what if you pretend to be respectful?

Fu Yunluo looked up at the high position. The first one was Emperor Yong. Seeing that Emperor Yong looked handsome and looked very different from what he thought of as his father, Fu Yunluo thought that he might be selected into the palace and would be with him in the future. He couldn't help but lower his head and a red cloud flew on his face.

After calming down his emotions, Fu Yunluo looked at Chu Yanzi again. Seeing her smiling face, she didn't understand why Emperor Yong pampered her? It seemed that there was no difference. In terms of appearance, he was not inferior to her. As for family etiquette, Concubine Zhen was just the daughter of the minister, and she was the same as her identity, and even a little worse than her!

With a faint jealousy and a hint of desire to show in front of the emperor, Fu Yunluo smiled and owed his body, and said crisply, "Report to Concubine Zhen, please change your clothes first."

Fu Yunluo was too shallow, and almost everything he thought was reflected on his face. The few people on it could see what she was thinking. The smile on Chu Yanzi's face had not changed, and there were even signs of deepening. "Go."

After Fu Yunluo left, Chu Yanzi nodded to the palace servants at the door, signaling that the people below could come in. Three of them were left in the group. After the group ended, Fu Yunluo was ready to follow the palace servants in.

After taking a look at the clothes she chose, Chu Yanzi sat in a very demeanor, wearing a red dance dress. Perhaps to set off the clothes, she specially painted a peony makeup, with some rouge on her cheeks, and a peony in the middle of her forehead.

Since Chu Yanzi drew a peach blossom on her forehead that day, there has been some rumors spreading, saying that the makeup was painted by Emperor Yong himself for her. Since then, the peach blossom makeup has become popular, and the others have just changed the pattern.

When Chu Yanzi saw that she was fine, she did not look at her again. A beautiful girl who had not yet entered the palace was not worth her much effort. If it weren't for the fact that she was the daughter of Marquis of Jinghou of Qi, Chu Yanzi would have directly wiped her out with her disrespectful look.

After Fu Yunluo stood in the hall, he first glanced at Emperor Yong shyly, and then stood there quietly, waiting for the order.

Chu Yanzi nodded and signaled that he could start.

The palace servants there played music. Fu Yunluo must have agreed with the palace servants before. At this time, Fu Yunluo followed the rhythm with the dance steps, spinning and jumping. If he is not picky, the dance will naturally be beautiful.

But after Emperor Yong looked at her, he didn't know what he thought of, and a trace of softness flashed in his eyes. At this time, he heard Chu Yanzi's unexplained voice, "What do you think of the emperor?"

"Not even 10 or 12 as Ah Yan." Emperor Yong looked at Chu Yanzi and said seriously. In his opinion, there was indeed no comparison between the two. The smile on the corner of Chu Yanzi's mouth flashed. The dance she danced before was produced by the system, so naturally it was not comparable to any dance.

After the dance ended, Fu Yunluo turned around and stopped, with a slight red tide on his face. He stepped forward two steps, bent down to salute, and said, "Your Majesty, my ladies, the talent performance of the ministers is over."

"Stay."

This time, Chu Yanzi did not ask Emperor Yong and Concubine Yun again, and directly spoke to keep people. As for the emperor who was not satisfied, he would just take down the palace selection in the future.

Hearing the words of Concubine Zhen, Fu Yunluo followed the palace servants to go out from the side. However, when she turned around, she looked back at Emperor Yong. Seeing that Emperor Yong was just looking at Chu Yanzi, she couldn't help but curl her lips and gritted her teeth and left.

This posture fell into the eyes of the people in the hall. There was a little irony in their eyes, but they didn't say anything. Next, they chose two rounds of talented women. Chu Yanzi felt her stomach was a little empty and waved to Bai Hua behind her. The show girl below was still performing her talents. Chu Yanzi asked in a low voice.

"When is it now?"

"It's past the hour."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Emperor Yong looked over and saw Chu Yanzi's boring expression on his face, and asked, "A Yan is tired?"

Chu Yanzi actually didn't want to host this talent show, but now she has the highest position among the concubines in the harem, and it's a bit unreasonable if she doesn't come. In addition, the empress dowager may think that she is pregnant now and does not want her to feel depressed, so she gave the full right to this talent show to her so that she could kick off some show girls she didn't like first.

When I first came, I was quite interested. After several rounds of show girls, Chu Yanzi felt that it was a bit like some programs that I went to be a mentor in my previous life. It was the same. She sat on it and picked up students one by one. She was tired of such programs in her previous life, but she didn't expect to experience it again in this life.

Chu Yanzi turned around and looked at Emperor Yong, smiled slightly, and waited for the show below to finish her performance, she said softly, "Your Majesty, it's almost noon now, and the talent show this morning will end here."

After hearing Chu Yanzi's words, Emperor Yong did not agree immediately. Instead, he calmed his expression and asked the palace servant standing beside him, "How many groups of beautiful girls are there?"

"If you go back to the emperor, there will be forty groups."

Emperor Yong frowned, and in groups of six, that is to say, there were more than 200 people. Seeing Chu Yanzi put one hand slightly on his lower abdomen, Emperor Yong turned to Concubine Yun and said, "Concubine Yun, you stay here and continue. I will take Concubine Zhen back to the palace first."

Concubine Yun's expression did not change at all. She looked at Emperor Yong gently and respectfully, then glanced at Chu Yanzi, and said with a chuckling, "Don't worry, Concubine Zhen is pregnant, I'm afraid she's a little hungry. It's better to go back early, so I'll leave it to me."

Emperor Yong nodded to Concubine Yun, stood up with Chu Yanzi's hand. Just as he was about to leave, Yu Guang saw Bao Zhaoyi standing up, looking at the two of them with an unknown expression. Emperor Yong paused, but did not talk to her. Ayan still refused to forgive him about the matter that day, so he naturally would not be too special to Bao Zhaoyi in front of Chu Yanzi anymore.

It seemed that he understood what Emperor Yong meant, Bao Zhaoyi's face turned pale. In front of Chu Yanzi, could he not even talk to her? Bao Zhaoyi looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and there was a faint pain in his eyes and a hint of hatred.

This hatred was captured by Concubine Yun. Concubine Yun's eyes moved, but the expression on her face did not change at all. She smiled and said to Bao Zhaoyi, "Bao Zhaoyi, then let's continue."

Bao Zhaoyi seemed to have grown a lot after Liu Zhu's death. At least she knew how to cover up her emotions at this time. Liu Yu beside her supported her. She did not force herself to laugh, but she still looked deserted and nodded to Concubine Yun.

This made Concubine Yun look at her for a few more times, especially when she looked at Liuyu who was holding her with one hand. Five years ago, this Liuyu looked so whispering, not as calm as Liuzhu. Now, it seems that this maid has not made any mistakes. The smile on the corner of Concubine Yun's mouth remains unchanged. After Chu Yanzi left, Concubine Yun sat in her position and signaled the palace people to continue.

Chu Yanzi and Emperor Yong returned to Jinhe Palace with his imperial carriage. A young eunuch had come to Jinhe Palace to inform him before, so Bai Lu had sent someone to the imperial kitchen to deliver food early.

Now Chu Yanzi's child is only more than a month old and is still in a dangerous period. He should not walk around many places. It is best to rest within three months, but the excerpt happened. After the meal, Chu Yanzi thought about what happened in the morning, lay on the soft couch, and said to Emperor Yong in a little sleepy manner.

"Your Majesty, can I stop going?"

Emperor Yong had no objection to this. After all, letting Chu Yanzi take charge was also considering Chu Yanzi's mood. Now she felt bored, so if she didn't go, she wouldn't go. She was just a group of beautiful girls. Concubine Yun could just sit in charge. Therefore, Emperor Yong nodded to Chu Yanzi and hugged her and lay on the soft couch.

"Okay, Ayan doesn't want to go, so he won't go. Ayan just needs to take care of her baby. If she is bored, she will ask the opera troupe to come over or go out for a walk." Emperor Yong responded to her request, but thought that she was a master who was not able to sit still on the spot on weekdays. He was afraid that she would be bored, so he paid attention to it.

Chu Yanzi nodded casually, picked up the needle and thread in her hand and looked at it, then put it down, looked up at Emperor Yong, without saying anything. After she became pregnant, she became more and more sleepy and was a little confused at this time.

"Ayan, go to bed."

Emperor Yong saw her like this and knew that she wanted to sleep again. After all, he had been in Jinhe Palace these days, and he also understood Chu Yanzi's daily routines. However... Emperor Yong's expression became darker, and there was a little bitterness on his smile. In the past few days, he could also feel that Ayan's cold talk to him was no longer coquettish to him as often as before.

"Um."

Chu Yanzi didn't know what Emperor Yong was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He responded softly, rubbed his neck, and fell into a dream.

Emperor Yong, who was standing beside him, had a bright look on his eyes and a soft smile on his lips. He looked down at Chu Yanzi who was already asleep, slowly hugged her tightly, and closed his eyes to rest.

This re-election was delayed for some time and took two days to finish. Then, this group of beautiful women had half a month of teaching. The Queen Mother sent out Madam Zhang from her palace like last time and gave them to Madam Zhang.

When we were about to get to the palace to choose, the best of the girls this time were already known to the people in the palace, such as Shen Luoqi, Fu Yunluo, and a daughter of a small official with outstanding appearance named Luo Yi, and even Chu Yanzi's legitimate cousin. Because she was old, she also participated this time. Because her cousin was the concubine Zhen in the palace, she was really glorious.

In Jinhe's palace, Chu Yanzi leaned on the soft couch, put her jade arm on the pillow, looking at the script in her hand, she originally wanted to continue making clothes for the children in her belly, but Bai Hua said that the work of embroidery was too traumatizing and refused to do it for her. Chu Yanzi had no choice but to look at the script in her hand, but it was quite interesting.

At this moment, Bai Lu hurried in, her face looked a little bad, with some indignation and a little gloating. Looking at the colorful expression on her face, Chu Yanzi raised her eyebrows, curious about what happened, which made Bai Lu's gradually calm face show such a look, and asked with a smile,

"What's wrong? Look at your expression, aren't you very happy?"

Bai Lu looked at Chu Yanzi, pouted, and then said, "Empress, you are in the palace every day these days, and you don't know that it is Chu Jinxiu. The second lady is showing off your reputation in Chuxiu Palace every day."

Chu Jinxiu is the child of Chu Yanzi's second uncle. Because the two are not very different in age, they are only two years old. In addition, Chu Yanzi has been outstanding in appearance since childhood and her parents are more loving. Chu Jinxiu's mother is the wife of her second uncle, but her second uncle prefers her aunt. Therefore, Chu Jinxiu has been jealous of Chu Yanzi since she was a child and has to compare everything with her.

Even from the original memory, Chu Yanzi could feel her competitive mentality. Now that I heard that she was actually cheating on her signature, Chu Yanzi felt a little funny, but she still couldn't understand what was going on with her expression on Bai Lei's face.

"Then why are you gloating?"

Speaking of this, Bai Lu felt a little embarrassed. She first touched her nose and said in a angrily manner, "Empress, today, news came from the mansion that the second wife heard that you were hosting the talent show this time, so she went to ask the old lady to send a letter to the palace, so she asked you to find a way to keep the second lady in the palace."

After hearing Bai Lu's words, Bai Hua frowned first. The second wife was so shameless. She used to like to care about her wife everywhere. There was a lot of friction between the second lady and the empress. Now she is really embarrassed. She actually went over her wife and begged the old lady.

Chu Yanzi's smile on his face became a little lighter. He looked at Bai Lu and said softly in an unknown tone, "What do you say to the old lady?"

Bai Lu's face was only gloating. Although the second master was the old lady's youngest son, the old lady had been partial to the master since she was a child. After all, she was the first child, and it hurt so much, especially when she hurt the young master to her heart. Thinking about the message she received, Bai Lu said with a smile,

"Don't worry, the old lady didn't agree, let alone the lady and the young master. The young master asked someone to send a message to say that if it's a problem that has hindered the empress, just take the second lady down and have him at home, so that the empress will not take any attention."

Chu Yanzi only smiled at the corner of her mouth. Thinking of the way her elder brother might look when she heard the second wife’s words, she couldn’t help but feel warm in her eyes. It was her luck that she had such a family. However... Chu Yanzi’s smile became cold and she wanted to use her as a ladder. Is her second aunt thinking too beautifully?
To be continued...
