On this day, which was the day for all the Consort Candidate s to enter the palace, Shi Anran had already changed into palace attire and waited inside.

Liu Yue, for once, did not smile at her, but instead walked her all the way to the palanquin, her eyes red. She did not dare to wipe her tears, and only choked with sobs: "Miss, I don't know when I will see you again, Miss will definitely take care of yourself, this servant will not be by Miss's side, Miss will also need to eat and sleep well … …"

"Liu Yue, when did you become like an old lady?" Shi Anran smiled as he looked at her, but in truth, she was also upset.

Hearing that, Liu Yue laughed, "Young miss is still joking around at a time like this!"

"Alright, you guys hurry up and go in."

Seeing Liu Yue's reluctant look, Master Shi could not help but shed tears, endured the pain in her heart and said seriously: "Anran, go to the palace and learn more. Remember to speak your mind, and be extremely cautious when doing things, don't let others hold you in.

Shi Anran's gaze was slightly stained with water as she knelt in front of her father and kowtowed three times.

Watching the sedan chair gradually disappear into the distance, the third lady felt even more proud of herself. "Master, let's go back!"

Today, the capital city was exceptionally bustling with noise and excitement. The spectators from outside the city were endless as well. The talent show competition that only happened once every three years was far too lively this year.

Two rows of guards were walking along the street, escorting a palanquin that was being carried by eight people. The surroundings of the palanquin was empty, and only a thin veil was draped over it, allowing one to see the lady seated inside. Although the Consort Candidate's guards were all dressed in the exact same palace attire, every one of them were carefully selected beauties, all of them wearing veils, which undoubtedly created a dazzling sight.

After the sedan chair landed on the official road, the number of people gradually lessened. Even those who wanted to join in the fun had no choice but to stay far away from the sedan.

"Why did you stop?" Eunuch Zhao, who accompanied the Emperor, was a popular figure by his side. He stretched out a finger and lifted up the veil covering the palanquin.

"Reporting to eunuch, something has happened in front!" The guard said anxiously.

Eunuch Zhao snorted, "Let's go take a look."

After the guard shouted at the crowd of commoners to retreat, Eunuch Zhao was so frightened that he covered his mouth with a handkerchief. "That's incredible. Why do you have to commit suicide when you're fine?"

The palanquin was right in front of Shi Anran. Seeing that, Shi Anran took the initiative to walk forward: "Elder, this little girl knows some medical skills, can you take a look?"

"Quick, quick, quick! We won't be able to protect ourselves after losing so much blood!" If one of the twenty Consort Candidate s was missing, how would he account to the Emperor? Eunuch Zhao immediately spun around in circles. Although it wasn't his fault, the emperor would probably vent his anger on him if she was unhappy!

Shi Anran moved closer, and saw that Consort Candidate had a pair of sharp scissors in front of her chest, it was obvious that she had stabbed it herself, what was the use of that? The woman held onto Shi Anran's hand tightly and said weakly: "I … "She would rather die than enter the palace …" After saying that, the woman stopped breathing.

"Aiya …" "This, this, this, this …" Eunuch Zhao was completely discouraged.

Just as Eunuch Zhao was scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks in anxiety, he saw a woman walking past him who seemed to have been startled by the horse.

When he reached the entrance of the First Dao Palace, a large group of people appeared, led by the current emperor's favorite, Xiang Rongcheng. He was dressed in a silver robe with a long cape fluttering in the wind, giving him a graceful appearance.

"The young general is too early!" Eunuch Zhao's shrill voice sounded.

Shi Anran looked towards the man not far away. It had to be said that this man was not handsome in any way, but it was a pity that they were destined to become strangers.

Although Shi Anran's face was covered by a veil, those eyes of hers were not something an ordinary woman would have. Xiang Rongcheng only needed a single glance to recognize her.

After glancing at it without batting an eyelid, Xiang Rongcheng bowed slightly, "Eunuch Zhao, this general has received your majesty's orders to welcome you to Consort Candidate!"

"Yes, everything is fine. Young General can be at ease." Eunuch Zhao was after all, an old man who had lived in this palace for several tens of years. He was able to keep things calm, and it was as if nothing had happened before when Consort Candidate committed suicide.

Xiang Rongcheng rode on the fine steed in front, and behind him was Shi Anran's palanquin. Shi Anran's gaze never landed on his body. She knew that it wasn't easy to survive in this deep palace. Sometimes a misunderstanding or a battle of words could cost his life.

"Well, this is where the young masters will live for the time being!" Eunuch Zhao stood at the entrance of a palace.

Some of the officials were displeased. "Eunuch Zhao, do we live in such a palace with so many people?"

"That's right, every room has the names of its young lords, and we will send a palace maid to serve them. Don't underestimate this storage palace, which year's concubines didn't leave from here? Young masters, please go find your rooms first. We'll report this to the emperor! " With that, Eunuch Zhao turned and left.

At the door, a few Consort Candidate who had good family backgrounds started to give the money to Eunuch Zhao. Eunuch Zhao refused a few times, but in the end, he accepted all of them.

Previously, the Consort Candidate that had been added in had timidly stood in place and did not know what to do. Seeing that everyone seemed to not be getting along, in the end, she walked over to Shi Anran who was also watching coldly: "Are you all alone, sister?"

Shi Anran smiled at her amicably and nodded lightly. Originally, the room belonged to the two of them. Coincidentally, the Consort Candidate who committed suicide was separated from Shi Anran.

"Big sister Anran, you've been with me for more than a month, is it okay for Hong Ling to call you big sister?" On the other hand, Hong Ling started to chat with her quite naturally.

You've already called me, how can I not tell? Unable to determine whether this Hong Ling was a good person or a bad person, Shi Anran said with a smile, "Of course it's good …"

Not long later, a group of palace maids came over, and's palace maids called him Xiu Er, they looked gentle and friendly, probably because the palace maids were all trained, so they were naturally more sensible than the servants outside.

"Young master, it's time for dinner. This servant will bring young master to the kitchen to have a meal." Xiu Er was also around fourteen or fifteen, her voice was very crisp and pleasant to hear.

Shi Anran somehow had a good impression of her, and immediately smiled gently: "Alright!"

Xiu Er heaved a sigh of relief. The young masters served by the other sisters were hard to get along with, but luckily she met a good person.

As soon as the Consort Candidate sat down, they began to whisper to each other about how terrible the Imperial Palace food was. Senior Servant Chen, who had been teaching etiquette, walked in with two palace maids and said solemnly, "Does anyone need this old servant to remind them that they shouldn't eat or sleep?"

Although they did not have a good impression of this serious mama, the Consort Candidate's people did not dare to say too much due to her status. They thought to themselves: Wait till I become the Empress, then we'll see how I'll punish you, this old tricky slave.

Senior Servant Chen was used to seeing these misses and had encountered more difficult situations before. She was not moved by them and instead became more serious. "If the young lords think this old servant was wrong, they can stand up and correct them."

Once he said that, there was no more discussion. He just lowered his head and continued to eat.
