Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 150: Those who live in the harem are all cunning people

Hibiscus Garden.

"Miss." Hongdou called out worriedly. The young lady was holding a notebook in her hand, but she wasn't reading it at all. She had been lying there motionless for a long time.

"I'm fine." Huang Ye was actually thinking about something. Her name had been reported by her family today, and the specific time for entering the palace for selection had not been decided yet. There were still more than two months left before the Chinese New Year. If the selection was held before the New Year, then time would not be much. She estimated that she might have to enter the palace in these few days.

"Sister Ye..." Qiu Yun'er has become a frequent visitor here. She came in on her own without being notified.

Ever since that happened in her family, she has been full of admiration for Huang Ye. She is a few months younger than Huang Ye and has not yet reached the age of marriage, so she calls Huang Ye sister. Huang Ye is not polite and directly calls her Xiao Yun'er.

Before Huang Ye got up, she had already entered the house. Last night, her grandfather came home and told her about the beauty contest. He also knew that Huang Ye was not engaged. The Huang family loved their children and would definitely not want their child to enter the palace. She didn't know how sad she was feeling now, so she thought of letting her come to accompany the child.

Qiu Yun'er was so worried that she didn't sleep well last night and came here early this morning.

Huang Ye asked her to sit down and asked Chan'er to bring some snacks and put them in front of her. If it were in the past, she would have been very happy, but today was different. She had no appetite at all.

"Sister Ye, you..." When she really got in front of the person, she didn't know what to say.

"I'm fine. The selection hasn't started yet. Even if I am... I may not be selected, right?"

"But..." Qiu Yun'er also felt that her sister Ye Zi was so outstanding, there was no reason why she wouldn't be selected.

"My mother told me that those who can survive in the harem are all shrewd people. Someone like me who is simple-minded won't survive long in the harem." Qiu Yun'er was very worried. Her sister Ye Zi was so powerful, so she shouldn't be in any trouble in the harem.

"Okay, why are you frowning at such a young age? These are freshly made snacks from mung beans. Try them." Huang Ye pushed a plate of snacks in front of her.

"I can't eat." Qiu Yun'er was depressed. When she thought about not being able to see her sister Ye in the future, she lost her appetite.

In fact, Huang Ye was also feeling bad. She was not sure that she would not be selected. It was as if she felt that she was somehow connected with the palace. Although it was strange, she just had the feeling.

Since there was a sense of connection, some things should be arranged early. The next day, she asked someone to call Qingyuer to the garden, and Xiao Zhao was also brought in in disguise.

Huang Ye asked the two of them to sit down. These two were her subordinates in the true sense, and they had known each other for a long time and had cooperated with each other on many things.

"I will go to the palace for the selection in a few days." Qing Yu'er knew this. Now all the movements in the capital were within his attention. Xiao Zhao seemed much more surprised. Something that was announced yesterday had not spread so quickly.

"Brother Zhao, even if I enter the palace, you still have to run the kiln well. If in the future... For the time being, you can't let people know that I'm the boss behind it. This is my last trump card... We are going for the high-end route, don't sell inferior goods as good ones and ruin the brand."

"Don't worry, miss. Nothing like that will happen." The Xinxin Porcelain Shop he was in charge of was the first of its kind in the capital. It only accepted reservations within three months. Otherwise, reservations alone would have to be booked up to a year later.

Nowadays, the noble families in the capital feel particularly proud to have porcelain from the Xinxin Porcelain Shop to entertain guests. Although the porcelain is very valuable, these noble families still flock to it, and those who have not yet bought it are anxiously waiting.

"I was thinking of going out for a walk after the Chinese New Year, and coming back to open the restaurant when the peppers are edible... Forget it, let's talk about it when the time comes. We still have to open it, and you will be in charge at that time, Brother Zhao." Xiao Zhao is a steady man, so she feels at ease leaving the matter to him.

"Qingyuer, you should continue to keep an eye on Xu Rou. I suspect this sudden talent show has something to do with her." This is the most likely answer Huang Ye could think of.

"Qing Yu'er will definitely live up to the young lady's instructions."

After the two men left, she asked Hongdou to call Ludou in again: "Ludou, I remember you are seventeen years old this year, right?"

"Yes." Green Bean was puzzled. Why did the lady suddenly ask her age? Didn't she call her over to teach her how to cook?

"That's right. Hongdou also knows that I'm going to the palace to select candidates this time. If you are selected, you will enter the palace. You two are not young anymore. You should stay at home from now on. I will ask my mother to find a good family to marry you off."

"Wherever the lady goes, I'll be there." Hongdou said the same thing.

"Me too." Green Bean was afraid that she would speak too slowly: "I want to follow the young lady, too. I want to cook delicious food for the young lady every day." It was the young lady who discovered her talent and let her experience the joy of cooking. Getting married would only hinder her pursuit of delicious food. She didn't want to get married so early, and it would be best if she never got married in her life.

"Although I secretly want you two to come with me, but you have your own lives. You will have your own families, your own children, and grandchildren in the future. You don't have to waste your whole lives for me..." Huang Ye patiently and kindly advised these two stubborn girls sincerely.

"Anyway, I won't leave you." "Me too." Huang Ye tried to persuade him for a long time, but in vain.

"Then Green Bean, you should find someone with a talent for cooking among the people in the mansion as soon as possible, and try your best to pass on your skills to her." She didn't want to wait until she really entered the palace and there was no one to cook delicious food for her family.
