Wang Rong absentmindedly waved him off before she forced out a smile and said, ”Second sister, my heart is in a mess right now. I'm afraid I don't have the mood to have fun together.”
Mrs Sun gently held her finger, ”You are the smartest, so you naturally know that there is no point in panicking. I'll leave first. Calm down. ”
Wang Rong He nodded.
”Why are we big girls going to pick? Didn't they say there were no big girls on the list at the time?”
Wang Rong Yun paused for a moment before saying, ”Bring me some water, I want to wash my face and go to Grandmother's place.”
Wang Rong and the handkerchief that had been soaked in hot water were brought over with a copper basin. The heat evaporated her uneasiness, and when she went to see her grandmother, she returned to her normal appearance. The old lady grabbed her hand, ”Bao`er, don't worry. Your father has sent someone to investigate.”
Wang Ronghe took the thin piece of paper that determined her fate. Her place of origin and name were written on it, followed by the date of her birthday. At the bottom of the paper was the seal of the Ministry of Revenue.
”We have to be prepared for the worst. We can't affect father and brothers' future.” Wang Rong comforted her grandmother, ”Look at me, I'm plump and round. Maybe I won't be able to make it through the first stage. When I come back, I won't be able to find a good home. Grandmother, you can't dislike me.”
”My baby, my darling.” Grandmother hugged Wang Rong and cried, ”If you enter the palace, Grandmother's tears will dry up day and night, and you'll never see my Bao`er again. How are you going to make Grandmother close her eyes when she's dead?”
”Grandmother.” Wang Rong He could not help but choke. The grandfather and grandson hugged each other and sobbed.
When Wang Yaliang returned at night, during the day, he would ask around when he was on duty, ”If you can't find out anything, the names of the Palace Manager's Bureau and eunuch are listed there from the beginning, no one can stop you.”
”Can you cross out that name?” Second Brother Wang said, ”Is it feasible to use the disease to escape the talent show?”
”If the eunuch did not send the paper over to our house, there would still be room for activity, and with the seal of the Department of Revenue, it would be difficult. Strictly speaking, my sister isn't a member of our family anymore, she's a member of the royal family.” Wang Yaliang suddenly felt a bit sad, as if he just realized what this meant.
”What about escaping from the disease?” Wang said that it was a heaven and earth difference for his sister to marry into an ordinary family and follow the royal family. When her mother left, other than Wang Yaliang who was still confused, he and his brother had already become sensible. They were called over by her mother to hold hands with their little sister, saying that they would treat her well in the future.
”This is the first time that His Majesty has come to the throne for a talent show, and also after the selection. He has been extremely careful, and I'm afraid that he might not be able to borrow an illness.” Wang Houde said.
”That's right, eunuch told me today that if there's anything wrong with Imperial Consort Candidate, I can call the imperial physician over to take a look. I'm afraid that any normal minor ailment wouldn't be enough to scare her.” Wang Wei said.
Wang Wei sighed, ”I'll go find Bao Er and have a talk with her. If she doesn't want to go, then I'll think of a way to prevent her from entering the palace.”
Wang Rong comforted Wang Wei, saying that his daughter entering the palace was nothing, and that she might not even be selected, so there was no need to worry. But at night, when she went to find Wang Yaliang, she would sketch a little and draw Zhang Cheng as she remembered him. She asked Third Brother if she could find this eunuch and meet him there.
”Where did you know eunuch?” Wang Yaliang asked doubtfully, he held the portrait, and carefully examined it, there were so many eunuch s in the palace, of course he wouldn't be able to recognize them, but he had to be wary of those important positions, ”This is not the eunuch that is next to the Emperor.”
”How do you know him?” Wang Yaliang said.
”Only occasionally.” Wang Rong found it difficult to defend herself.
”He can't be seen alone outside the palace.” Wang Yaliang was unexpectedly sharp, ”So you've seen the Emperor, right?”
”He didn't know I knew he was the Emperor.” Wang Ronghe said, indirectly admitting that she had seen the Emperor.
”So you want to find Zhang Cheng, and see if he can help you cross your name off the list?”
”When we first recruited the eunuchs, father personally saw that your name wasn't on it, but now your name is on the notice board. ”You know that he doesn't know that you know that he is the emperor, but he always knew that he was the emperor himself. He wanted a woman whom he found pleasing to the eye to enter the palace. It was easy.” Wang Yaliang said. Since it's the emperor who wants you to enter the palace, what can Zhang Cheng help you with? If you go and find Zhang Cheng now, other than telling him that you know their identities, there's no use. ”
”How is that possible? I'm not good-looking.” Wang Rong said with a pale face.
Wang Yaliang suddenly thought, ”Did you guys meet each other on the night of the Spring Festival Gala? They did not go out with their friends to look at the lanterns. They came out to guard the emperor to look at the lanterns. He even bought the lanterns that you made. ”It's me. If I hadn't thrown Qing'er to the ground, you wouldn't have gone up to ask, and we wouldn't have met.”
Wang Yaliang said as he scratched his head, ”It's all my fault.”
”Third Brother, it's none of your business.” Wang Rong said with a pale face, ”If that's the case, then let's enter the palace.”
