Hua Caiyin looked at Mrs Liu and said, ”Mother, why don't you visit the Countess?”
Mrs Liu initially thought that it was impossible, but after careful consideration, she felt that it was truly a good method. Mrs Liu did not like the fact that the Yuan mother and daughter were known by the entire Hua Manor.
Right now, she knew that the two little imps had kept him at bay. It had been a long time since she had seen the pregnant Yuan family. Originally, the Yuan clan had nothing to fear because of the backing of the Lord Prime Minister. Now was indeed a good time.
Hua Caiyin then asked, ”Mother, I have something to tell you. Please don't be angry yet, okay?”
Mrs Liu frowned as she looked at her daughter.
Seeing that she was still unrelenting, he asked, ”What exactly happened?”
”That day, I — I overheard you talking to your grandmother. ”I know that the selection is about to begin …”
Mrs Liu frowned as she waited for her daughter. Then, she smiled at Hua Caiyin and asked, ”Do you have any thoughts?”
A talent show!
Even if they didn't succeed and couldn't become the emperor's woman, they could at least become the side concubines or beauties of those princes in the future, right? Even if it was just a little bit worse, as long as he performed a little bit better, his future marriage would be perfect!
Her father was born of a concubine, so she was born a head lower than Hua Yuan. Even if he were to look for marriage, he wouldn't be able to find anything good. No matter how good it was, it was incomparable to Hua Yuan's.
Since that was the case, he might as well find a way out for himself.
No matter who heard about it, wouldn't they be unable to hold themselves back?
She was still young, so she naturally knew that even if she was lucky enough to participate in the talent show, it would just be a formality.
After all, who could possibly fancy a ten-year-old girl?
But what if she got the palace lady's green eyes and became a female official or something?
Mrs Liu originally wanted to let her daughter walk the same path as the talent show, but when she thought about Hua Caiyin's age, she felt somewhat troubled. Now that he heard Hua Caiyin's words, he also felt that this was a good idea.
She asked, ”Do you have any good plans?”
”Does mother know what the emperor or esteemed empress dowager likes?”
Mrs Liu shook her head. ”How could I, your mother, know anything about this?”
Hua Caiyin was a little depressed, but she smiled, ”Forget it, I'll take a look at it when I get there.”
The mother and daughter duo had kept the matter watertight, but not everyone could go to the talent show. This was because the talent show also needed slots.
As for the second master, honestly speaking, it was rather difficult for him to earn his daughter the qualification to participate in the palace elections.
Hua Shihao, who had just returned from the palace, was one of the few people to enter the main courtyard.
Madam Yuan was waiting for the children's clothes to be sewn on. Her pink neck was exposed, and her face was as smooth as jade. When she looked later on, it looked dim and hazy, as if she was the concubine of a goddess.
Hua Shihao was stunned.
For some reason, he suddenly thought back to the time when he first laid eyes on the Yuan clan's Qingping. Even though he was currently indulging in a bird song and bird dance, it still did not give him such an impetuous feeling.
However, today, they were once again felt from the Yuan clan!
Hua Shihao felt that he and the Yuan clan should have been born together!
Ye Zichen turned around and thought about how he was still messing around with someone who should be disgusted with him when she had a big belly. Guilt welled up from the bottom of his heart! When he first found out about this child, he would often come over to take a look. But afterwards, it seemed, he would not step into the house more than once a month.
Before he knew it, his own child had already been born.
With a jolt in his mind, he walked towards Yuan Shi and sat down beside her. He grabbed her hand and said, ”Qingping.”
Madam Yuan's heart trembled, but she was truly frightened. Her hand was also pierced by the needle, and soon, blood began to seep out. Hua Shihao quickly grabbed the Yuan clan's hand and put it into his own mouth.
After a long while, she finally let it out and asked: ”I was the one who startled you, right? Does it hurt? ”
The Yuan clan stared blankly at Hua Shihao, suspecting that this man was someone else in disguise!
Actually, the reason why Hua Shihao treated him coldly afterwards was something the Yuan clan knew. Back then, in order to marry him, Hua Shihao had died less than three months ago, so he had asked for his hand in marriage.
This was studied by the censor at that time.
