The second wife is charming to the bone, and Mr. Shen is very honest

Chapter 355 Draft

The next day, Yang Xiuyun brought her niece over.

Jiang Sujin took a look at the little boy and thought he was really good-looking.

Yang Xiuyun: "After all, you are my second aunt's relative. Look how much you look like the princess?"

Li Ranxi glanced at Jiang Sujin and immediately lowered her head shyly.

"How can Xi'er match the beauty of the Empress?"

Jiang Sujin looked at the young girl in front of her, and she really looked 70% similar to her.

"Yeah, they are somewhat similar."

Li Ranxi: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. If Xi'er had half of your intelligence, I would be very satisfied."

Jiang Sujin: "The so-called intelligence is to see whether you have a clear mind, whether you can recognize your own shortcomings, and whether you can adjust and improve yourself in time."

Upon hearing this, Li Ranxi couldn't help but nodded: "Xi'er, thank you for your teachings, Madam."

"Xi'er was unlucky. She lost her mother at an early age. Thanks to my aunt's help, Xi'er wouldn't be where she is today."

Jiang Sujin: "Good fortune is something you have to fight for. There is no such thing as a free lunch. All blessed people have experienced hardships that ordinary people have never experienced, in order to maintain their superficial glory."

Li Ranxi felt that what the princess said made a lot of sense, and it made her feel as if something had suddenly dawned on her.

"Xi'er heard that the princess is good at business. Xi'er knows that she will never find a good husband in this life, so she wants to learn some ways to make money from the princess."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sujin couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

"You are right to think so, but you don't have any helpers around you, and you don't have that much capital. Even if you do business, it will be difficult to become rich."

Li Ranxi: "Then Madam, what do you think Xi'er should do?"

"Those who came to propose marriage were all old perverts. Mother was naturally willing, but Xi'er didn't want to marry an old pervert."

Jiang Sujin: "The selection will be held soon. Have you ever thought about entering the palace?"

Li Ranxi: "Xi'er is already old, and Xi'er has lost her biological mother, and her father's official position is not high. Even if she enters the palace, it will be difficult for her to take a step forward."

Jiang Sujin: "Age is not a problem. Your father is not a high-ranking official, but you still have your aunt and your cousin. You can't say you have no one to rely on."

Upon hearing this, Li Ranxi's expression suddenly became unnatural as she said, "My queen, Xi'er is unlucky. She doesn't even have a brother or sister. Naturally, she doesn't dare to marry you."

Jiang Sujin: "It's not about marrying up. The emperor asked me to select a concubine for him, so naturally he wants me to help him find a few sensible and satisfactory people."

"And the less power you have, the more the emperor will trust you."

"You just need to be gentle and well-behaved, and know how to please the emperor, and the emperor will naturally be willing to pamper you."

Upon hearing this, Li Ranxi could not help but said excitedly, "To be honest with you, Madam, I hope to make a name for myself so that I can completely get rid of my stepmother."

Seeing the little girl's eyes turn red, Jiang Sujin couldn't help but hold her hand.

"Good boy, now your chance has come. It depends on whether you can seize it."

Li Ranxi: "If Xi'er can be elected, then Xi'er will naturally serve the emperor wholeheartedly."

Jiang Sujin: "You don't have to be wholehearted. The emperor has three thousand beauties in his harem. It's impossible for him to give all his favor to you alone."

"If you want to survive in the harem and let the emperor always have you in his eyes, you have to give up your heart."

"Give up this heart?"

Jiang Sujin: "Yes, that is, treat the emperor as your master. You can't be arrogant because of his favor, and you can't be jealous of others. You must always be a little white rabbit without emotions."

Li Ranxi pursed her lips when she heard that, then nodded slightly.

The talent show officially began, and Jiang Sujin listened to the nanny in charge reading out the names of the contestants one by one.

However, after listening for a long time, she did not hear the name of the person she wanted.

"Why is there no Li Ranxi from the Li family?"

"My lady, that Miss Li is eighteen years old this year, which is already over the age limit."

Jiang Sujin: "I have seen this young lady from the Li family. She is very beautiful and intelligent. I will add her name to the list. If the emperor really blames me, I will take the responsibility alone."

"It's the Queen!"

Jiang Sujin just couldn't stand this kind of beautiful but unfortunate person, so she wanted to help her.

What's more, since the emperor has entrusted this matter to her, she naturally has to do her best.

Li Ranxi's appearance is quite outstanding.

If the emperor met her, he would naturally like her.

Almost all the noble ladies who reached marriageable age in the capital entered the palace.

Li Ranxi is indeed the oldest among these people.

In addition, she was temporarily appointed by Princess Yong'an, which made everyone think that she came through the backdoor.

Because of this, it has also caused a lot of people to exclude it.

However, Li Ranxi had been used to being bullied since childhood, so she automatically ignored those unfriendly people.

Shen Yueqing relied on the fact that the princess was her aunt, so she looked down on these people.

Especially when seeing someone like Li Ranxi, who has no power but has some good looks, he naturally looks down on her even more.

In her eyes, only a good background is truly good.

If someone comes from a poor background but has a pretty face, then he or she is a natural foxy woman.

Jiang Sujin spent the whole day looking at all the gorgeous women and her eyes became sore.

There were several thousand people in total, and she eliminated half of them.

Of course, there are also some powerful people among them.

As long as their appearance and temperament did not meet her standards, she would eliminate them without any hesitation.

She felt that since the emperor had entrusted this matter to her, she couldn't just get away with it.

She also knew that this would offend a lot of people, but if she didn't offend them, she would offend the emperor.

Maybe the emperor would think that Shen Yanfeng was intentionally forming a clique for personal gain, so he was deliberately trying to win over the powerful.

The emperor intended her to be the villain, naturally because he trusted her character, but it was not ruled out that he was testing her, so she only needed to be fair and just.

Shen Yueqing was of average appearance, so it was reasonable for her to keep her.

But she also realized that Shen Yueqing was too impatient, and even if she entered the palace, she would not be able to hold a high position.

Li Ranxi is good-looking and is one of the most beautiful women here.

In addition, she is born with a pitiful temperament, which can especially arouse men's desire to protect her.

Although she was a relative, they were not of the same bloodline, so offering her to the emperor was considered an expression of her loyalty.

And Li Ranxi really needs such an opportunity.

After Jiang Sujin returned to the Shen Mansion, she told Shen Yanfeng about this matter. Shen Yanfeng felt that she did nothing wrong, and he, Shen Yanfeng, was not afraid of offending anyone.

The next morning, Jiang Sujin entered the palace again.

Today it is time for the emperor to meet these beauties in person. Who will catch the emperor's eye depends on their luck.
