Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

Chapter 548 The Female Competition Begins

Obviously, there is an unengaged daughter in the family, and the other party is willing to go, so why are they unwilling to send her to the palace? !

Could it be that the Mu family looks down on the current emperor?

Once the censors make reports, the Mu family will be in a passive position.

After all, the Mu family is no longer the same Mu family as before, and can no longer withstand a second round of exile.

After weighing the pros and cons, Mu Chengsong and Mu Zhaopeng had no choice but to agree, and then asked Shen Danxia to talk to Mu Wanwen.

Mu Wanwen didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

With what she just saw, Mu Wanwen was very sure in her heart: as long as she could enter the palace for the selection, she would definitely be able to stay in the palace!
Mu Wanwen became very excited when she thought of this.

She looked at her heavy-hearted mother, as if she could not sense her mother's worry. Instead, she asked excitedly, "Mom, what kind of person is my aunt?"

Shen Danxia was surprised that Mu Wanwen actually asked about Mu Yaohua at this moment. After a moment of surprise, she also talked about Mu Yaohua.

When Mu Wanwen heard that Mu Yaohua had no opinion of his own and was easily trusting of others, she looked down on him.

However, when she heard that she and Mu Yaohua were actually three-quarters similar, she was excited.

"How am I similar to my aunt?"

Shen Danxia looked at her daughter carefully: "Nose and mouth."

The eyes are not the same.

Mu Yaohua's eyes were never tainted by desire.

But my own daughter wants to carve "pursue power and wealth" on her forehead!

With this expression, even though the mouth and nose are somewhat similar, they are not very similar.

"Mom, I want to know about my aunt's past... Please tell me about it."

Shen Danxia was puzzled: "Why do you want to know this?"

Mu Wanwen's eyes rolled. "Although my aunt died in a foreign land, she raised her three children well. I also want my future children to be as good as my three cousins..."

Shen Danxia was almost moved to tears when she heard this: My daughter is finally becoming sensible!

So she told Mu Wanwen everything she knew, no matter how big or small.

Based on what Shen Danxia said, Mu Wanwen pieced together bit by bit the image of a woman who was kind, cowardly, and considerate of others, yet often exploited.

But after listening to it, Mu Wanwen felt somewhat disdainful of Mu Yaohua.

Between the prince and Marquis Weiyuan, she actually chose Marquis Weiyuan, which led to her being kicked out of the house and dying in such a miserable way.

But when I think about it, my aunt has an excellent appearance and temperament.

Mu Wanwen had a plan in mind, and chased Shen Danxia to ask what kind of makeup Mu Yaohua used to wear when she was a girl...

When Chen Huaijin entered the palace again, the Emperor asked him and Xiao Luoyi to stay in the capital for a few more days.

"Noble Lady Xue will give birth in three months. By then you can do this..." The Emperor lowered his voice and spoke in a calm tone.

Chen Huaijin was horrified when he heard this: "Isn't this... inappropriate?"

His Majesty the Emperor glanced at him calmly and said, "What's inappropriate? If I say it's appropriate, then it's appropriate!"

Chen Huaijin: “…Yes!”

After coming out of the palace, Chen Huaijin took the initiative to look for Xiao Luoyi for the first time.

Xiao Luoyi was excited at first, but when she met Chen Huaijin's emotionless eyes, she calmed down again.

"What does Prince Zhong want from me?"

Chen Huaijin sat opposite Xiao Luoyi and became nervous again subconsciously: "I have something to discuss with you."

"Please say."

Chen Huaijin swallowed and carefully spoke of the task that the Emperor had just assigned to him.

Xiao Luoyi: "..." How can things be like this?!
After Concubine Xue gave birth to a child, she replaced the child, sent a girl of the same age into the palace, and took her own child out of the palace?
Regardless of whether the heir is a boy or a girl, they will all be raised by Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin? !

Could a real father say this?
This is unscientific!
Chen Huaijin couldn't understand it, but he had to repeat the Emperor's words.

"His Majesty said that Concubine Xue is narrow-minded. If the child follows her, he will be led astray in the future. He doesn't have time to take care of the child, so he asked us to take the child away."

"Your Majesty also said that there will be many new people entering the palace. The harem will be in chaos by then, and the child may not be able to grow up safely in the palace. There is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days."

"It would be better to send him out of the palace early, so he can feel at ease."

Xiao Luoyi: "..."

Well, it is normal within abnormality that the Emperor decided to focus on his work and leave the child to be raised by his most trusted daughter-in-law.

After making the decision, Chen Huaijin had one more job: waiting for Concubine Xue to give birth to a child.

It also means that Chen Huaijin cannot leave the capital for the next few months. He has to wait until Concubine Xue gives birth to a child.

After a large number of wealthy women came to visit, Xiao Luoyi had already collected more than ten thousand taels of silver.

There were even some people who really had bad fates and had no chance of entering the palace, and they tried to change their fate, but were rejected by Xiao Luoyi.

In order to avoid being harassed, Xiao Luoyi began to follow Chen Huaiyu and Lu Yingying to Moxiangzhai.

Chen Huaijin had nothing else to do, and personally picked up Xiao Luoyi, Lu Yingying and the other two in and out of Moxiangzhai every day.

The couple are not strangers now, but they respect each other like guests.

In the past, Xiao Luoyi thought that "treating each other with respect" meant a harmonious marriage.

Now that I have experienced it myself, I finally understand: What is the difference between this and cold violence? !

When a couple meets, they greet each other politely, communicate at a distance, and always be polite...

He really treated the other party as a guest!

Such companionship is worse than no companionship at all.

fall!
Fortunately, it was November soon.

In November, the first heavy snow fell in the capital.

In November, Moxiangzhai opened for business. Noble ladies from the capital city flocked to the shop, so much so that it was packed and the ladies had to make reservations in advance.

The maid in the house would make an appointment in advance, and when they went at the appointed time, she would make sure to reserve a seat and prepare tea and snacks for the ladies to choose what they wanted with peace of mind.

It was also in November that the concubines entered the palace.

The female competition begins!
Probably in order to change the royal heir, Chen Huaijin was given a new job: deputy commander of the imperial guards.

So he began to go in and out of the palace every day, standing guard and patrolling...

Mu Wanwen had seen Chen Huaijin from afar twice in the palace.

This cousin in armor has a handsome appearance, but unfortunately he already has a wife at an early age.

But thinking that she was about to climb up, Mu Wanwen no longer felt it was a pity.

You didn’t know how to cherish me in the past, and you won’t be able to reach me in the future!

Mu Wanwen gritted her teeth secretly: No matter how powerful the three brothers of the Chen family are, won’t they still have to kneel down and salute me in the future? !
But right now… When Mu Wanwen saw Chen Huaijin passing by, she boldly called out, “Second cousin!”

Chen Huaijin pretended not to hear and just walked forward.

But Mu Wanwen called out again: "Cousin Huaijin?"

Chen Huaijin paused and looked at Mu Wanwen: "My lady, are you okay? Is there anything wrong?"

Seeing that all the ladies from various families were looking at her, Mu Wanwen felt a little proud and complacent, but she tried her best to pretend to be calm: I have someone in the palace.

"Nothing happened, I just saw my cousin, and I thought I was seeing things..."

Chen Huaijin looked indifferent. He nodded slightly, then turned and left.
