Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 169 Leaving the Palace

Seeing that all these people had left and only the concubines were left, Xu Rou gritted her teeth in hatred. How could she be so lucky as to let this bitch escape again?

Shi Yaoyao walked up to Huang Ye and said, "Sister Huang, please believe me, I really didn't do it..." Her words were sincere and her expression was genuine, no different from when they were together normally.

Huang Ye really admired her acting skills. If she hadn't experienced this before, she might have believed what she said.

And she was so thick-skinned that Huang Ye could not even reach her level. Others would have been too embarrassed to approach her, but she acted as if nothing had happened. Huang Ye felt that this was the type of person who could accomplish great things.

Wang Yuan also looked at Huang Ye: "Sister Ye, I have no intention of harming you..."

Huang Ye laughed: "Even if you want to hurt me, you have to have a figure like mine."

Shi Yaoyao, who has a good figure: No matter how thick-skinned she is, she couldn't save face in front of so many people, and her face turned red. It turned out that she had just explained for a long time, but the other party didn't respond at all.

Aunt Xing gathered everyone together and said, "I believe everyone has a mirror in their hearts about who is right and who is wrong in today's matter. I won't say much here. The talent show will be held in the afternoon. Go back and get enough rest at noon. If anything goes wrong again, don't blame me for being rude."

The concubines answered yes and did not go together in twos or threes as before. Everyone went back to their own room alone. People nowadays are so scary. The person who calls you a brother or a friend may also be the one who wants to harm you the most. They dared not trust anyone now and it was better for them to stay alone.

Que'er and Cai'er were taken away. Huang Ye went to the kitchen to get lunch by herself. She greeted the cooks in the kitchen with a smile, without any airs at all. The cooks also liked this lovely little girl very much, and the meals they prepared for her were much more sumptuous than those for others.

Life was peaceful and quiet in Chuxiu Palace, but it was different in the Empress Dowager's Palace. On her way back, she called the Emperor to her Cining Palace. She was not afraid of being embarrassed and told him directly how she and Xu Rou had framed Huang Ye, and also told him that she had promised Shi Yaoyao to let her enter the palace.

The Queen Mother had no choice. She was afraid that if Shi Yaoyao could not enter the palace, the fact that she and Xu Rou conspired to frame Huang Ye would be known to the whole city. At this moment, it would only be embarrassing in front of her son, but if it really came to that, it would be embarrassing for the whole capital. So if she wanted to make this matter completely clear, she could only let Shi Yaoyao enter the palace.

The emperor was so angry that he wanted to curse. What a trivial matter! Is his harem for collecting rags? If it weren't for her father's face, he would have sent her to death on the spot today. Looking at her pretentious and coy look, he wanted to vomit. What's more, she has a vicious mind and even harms her own friends. If she enters the palace and gets together with Xu Rou, who knows what kind of chaos will happen in the harem.

But this person was his queen mother, and he couldn't scold her. He felt so aggrieved that he had to find his father again and say a few words to vent his anger. His father must have been bewitched to marry such a person.

After a nap, Huang Ye and her companions, led by Nanny Xing, came to the palace where the formal beauty pageant was held. Huang Ye felt that it was similar to what was shown in TV dramas. The emperor, empress and queen mother were sitting in the corridor, and the beauties were in groups of three, walking up to them so that they could look at each other, and sometimes they had to answer their questions. It was okay when it came to Huang Ye, as no one asked her any questions, perhaps because of what happened in the morning, they were all familiar with her.

There is no rule of leaving a name card or giving flowers here. After the meeting, everyone will go home. Whether or not you will be selected depends on whether there is an imperial decree from the palace.

Huang Ye changed into the clothes she was wearing when she came, packed her bag and carried it in her hand. After saying goodbye to Wang Yuan, she went to say goodbye to the two maids in Chuxiu Palace. She felt that the two maids were very kind to her, and she wanted to thank them before leaving.

Nanny Xing and Nanny Zhang were sitting in the room where they usually rested, drinking tea. All the concubines had left. Such a big mistake had occurred in this selection, and the two were both very nervous, not knowing what kind of punishment they would face next.

"Hello, ladies." A little head popped in from outside the door, and the boy raised his hand to greet them with a smile.

"Why haven't you left yet?" the two maids asked at the same time. After the selection was over, they gathered everyone together and announced that they were allowed to go back. They had already said goodbye at that time, so why was this child still in the palace?

"The two maids took good care of Ziye when I was in the palace. I would feel uneasy if they didn't say thank you before I left." Huang Ye said with a smile.

"You child." Nanny Zhang felt that her and Nanny Xing's efforts in protecting her were not in vain. This child had a conscience, knew how to be grateful, and was good-looking and intelligent. If she really entered the harem, she might be a support for them in the future.

Nanny Xing thought the same thing as her: "He's a good child. Go out quickly. If it's any later you won't be able to get out once the palace gates are locked." Her tone was kind, completely different from her usual serious look.

"I manage my time." Huang Ye bowed deeply to the two maids: "Thank you for taking care of Ziye in the past month. If there is any need for Ziye in the future, Ziye will never refuse." This was her promise to these two people. She, Huang Ye, was not a person who would not repay a favor.

Two maids escorted her out of Chuxiu Palace, and then sent another maid to escort her out of the palace. All the concubines left, and only a carriage from the Huang Mansion was waiting here alone.

Huang Ye gestured to Hongdou who was standing beside the carriage. Hongdou understood and took out a large piece of silver and gave it to the nanny who sent her out. The nanny was overjoyed and thanked her profusely. Today was such a good day. She didn't expect that she would get such a big benefit after just one trip. This young lady of the Huang family has a bright future.
