Chapter 131 Shen Meizhuang 1
Chapter 131 Shen Meizhuang 1
Shen Meizhuang's mother, Mrs. Shen, was reborn the night before Shen Meizhuang's talent show.
In her previous life, Shen Meizhuang suffered from severe bleeding during childbirth and gave birth to only a princess before passing away.
Caixing and Caiyue, two loyal maids who had followed Shen Meizhuang since childhood, have had no news since then.
Shen's mother realized that there must be something fishy going on. There have always been a lot of gossips in the palace, and Mei'er must have been murdered!
Mother Shen regretted very much her teaching of Mei'er. She was teaching Mei'er to be the principal wife.
But as fate would have it, Mei'er was given a name tag during the selection and became a lady in the palace.
Although Mei'er has always been very smart, she knows very little about the methods used by those in the harem, so naturally she cannot defeat those people.
Fortunately, God blessed her and gave her the opportunity to be reborn and come back. Although she only returned to the night before the talent show, Shen's mother was very satisfied. Even if the time was short, she would not give up saving Mei'er.
It's a pity that it's late today. Mei'er will go to the palace for a selection tomorrow. Otherwise, Mother Shen would have wanted to call Shen Meizhuang right now to analyze the people and things in the palace with her until dawn.
……
On the second day, just like in the previous life, the selection had not yet ended, but eunuchs from the palace came to announce the good news: Shen Meizhuang was given a badge and a sachet, and was about to become a noble lady in the palace.
Shen Zishan was overjoyed. The emperor was willing to keep the nameplate, which showed that he thought his daughter was outstanding and that he had brought her up well.
Mother Shen glanced at him coldly, waved away the servants, and then poured cold water on him, "Mei'er has been trained as the principal wife since she was a child, but now she has entered the palace to be a concubine. Think about it yourself, can she fight against those elite people in the harem?"
Shen Zishan's originally proud and complacent expression froze.
What Shen's mother said was true. They doted on their daughter and had never thought of letting Shen Meizhuang enter the palace to add support to their family, nor had they ever thought of letting Shen Meizhuang marry someone else as a concubine. Therefore, Shen Meizhuang had always accepted her ideas and education as the principal wife.
Now that she has been selected, it sounds nice to say that she will be a concubine, but in fact she is just a concubine of the royal family.
Seeing that he had recognized the reality, Shen's mother spoke softly, "Mei'er will still have to rely on you as her father in the future."
As long as Shen Zishan remains standing, the emperor will not treat Mei'er badly even if he is unhappy, for his sake.
When Shen Meizhuang came back, she saw from afar the gate of the Shen Mansion, and Shen's father and mother were standing at the door to greet her.
Unlike the happy faces of her father and mother that Shen Meizhuang had imagined, there was worry hidden beneath their happiness.
She thought that her parents were reluctant to let her leave home and enter the palace as a concubine.
After a period of formalities, Shen's mother was finally able to spend time with Shen Meizhuang in private.
Mother Shen touched her daughter's face, eyes full of sadness, "Mei'er."
"Mother~"
Shen Meizhuang felt sad when she saw the look in her mother's eyes. She cried in her mother's arms. She didn't want to enter the palace. She just wanted to stay at home, with her father and mother.
The two hugged each other and cried for a long time.
Mother Shen gently wiped away the tears on Shen Meizhuang's cheeks with her fingertips, feeling the warm skin under her fingers. Her own Mei'er was living well right before her eyes.
Mother Shen wanted to cry again, but she held it back. Time was already limited and she didn't want to waste it on this, which would be of no benefit to Mei'er in the future.
"What did Mei'er experience in the palace today? Who did you meet? How did you feel?"
Shen's mother asked three gentle questions in a familiar tone, bringing Shen Meizhuang back to her childhood.
Once, she pestered Shen's mother for a long time, and finally Shen's mother allowed her to go out for a trip. After she came back, Shen's mother asked her this question, fearing that she would be bullied outside.
As usual, Shen Meizhuang shared everything that happened today with her mother.
She was so happy. Today, she met Zhen Huan, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family next door when she was a child. She and Huan'er have been close friends since childhood. Huan'er is still so beautiful and charming, and she dresses in a low-key and elegant manner, which is very different from those show girls who wear luxurious clothes.
When the eunuchs of Han army flag and other places summoned him, there was a setback. Xia Dongchun, the sister of Baoyi Zuoling Xia Wei, humiliated a poor and beautiful girl An Lingrong in public and asked An Lingrong to kneel down before she would forgive her.
How amazing! Seeing that Xia Dongchun was going too far, Huan'er stepped forward to speak up for An Lingrong and sent Xia Dongchun away with just a few words.
Huan'er was so kind. When she saw that An Lingrong was wearing outdated clothes and had no nice jewelry, she took off her earrings and gave them to An Lingrong, and also picked a flower and put it on An Lingrong's headband.
Fortunately, during the palace selection, she was left with a name card. Huan'er was so happy for herself that she accidentally ignored the eunuch calling her name. It was only after he called it twice that Huan'er realized it. Fortunately, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager did not make a fuss with her.
It was so thrilling. When Huan'er was participating in the palace selection, there were cats and water splashed on her. She suffered a lot. Fortunately, Huan'er finally passed the palace selection. However, the concubine Su Miaoqing was frightened by the cat and screamed. The emperor directly told her that she was inappropriate in front of the palace and she was not allowed to participate in the selection again.
What a pity, Huan'er said, she didn't want to stay but had to stay. Only then did she realize that Huan'er didn't want to enter the palace as a concubine. Unfortunately, Huan'er was disappointed and had to stay in the palace.
