After choosing a stunning beauty like Song Qingwan, Xiao Rui felt that the rest of the people were all mediocre and vulgar, and he had no intention of choosing any more.

He pointed at Ling Xiangxiang and said, "Let's pick her."

The chief eunuch asked, "The daughter of Ling Feng, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, Ling Xiangxiang, left a name card and gave her a sachet!"

Ling Xiangxiang kowtowed several times to express her gratitude. "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty, thank you!!" When she smiled, her two dimples were clearly visible.

Xiao Rui didn't expect Ling Xiangxiang to be so happy. Seeing that his casual action could make this little girl so grateful, he felt the power of the emperor to the extreme at this moment.

Lip curling smile "interesting"

Today is a good day. One is gentle and the other is cute. From now on, two beauties will accompany me.

After that, I chose two more without any hesitation and it was over.

After leaving the Golden Palace, Ling Xiangxiang challenged Song Qingwan, "You didn't expect that I was also selected."

Unexpectedly, Song Qingwan didn't care at all. It was his business who the emperor wanted to choose. She didn't love him, so she perfunctorily said to Ling Xiangxiang: "Yes, yes, Miss Ling is beautiful and generous, she will definitely be selected."

Ling Xiangxiang was confident that she would definitely be selected, but beautiful and generous... didn't seem to be the right word to describe her. So she suddenly realized that Song Qingwan was perfunctory to her.

"Song Qingwan! You are just being perfunctory to me! Do you think that you are the only one in your industry who has won the emperor's favor?" She wanted to show off to Song Qingwan that the emperor praised her for being interesting.

Song Qingwan was annoyed by her. "Whether the emperor favors you is his business. I dare not speculate. Miss Ling should also be careful with her words and actions!"

Ling Xiangxiang was speechless

After that, the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to plan the destinations for the selected ladies.

Inside the Yangxin Hall

The Queen asked the Emperor about the titles and positions of the ladies and suggested, "Zhang Weizi and Zhao Linlang's fathers are both high officials in the court. Why not choose one of them and make him a noble lady?"

Xiao Rui rubbed his temple and analyzed: "Zhang Weizi's father is the Shangshu of the court, and Zhao Linlang's father is the general. So let's choose Zhang Weizi." Civil officials do not have military power, so they are not afraid of being more powerful than their superiors.

The Queen asked, "What about Zhao Linlang?"

Xiao Rui: "Grant her the title of Changzai and give her another title, let's call her Changzai Shen. I hope her family can be careful with their words and actions."

The Queen did not forget to promote her people. She mentioned Zuo Wenyi, a plain-looking woman who was very easy to control. "Your Majesty, there is another Zuo Wenyi who is very gentle and virtuous. Please make her a concubine as well."

Speaking of gentle and virtuous, Xiao Rui suddenly thought of Song Qingwan on the day of the talent show. She was truly gentle and virtuous, and he could never forget her.

The tone of "granting Song Qingwan the title of Changzai" leaves no room for doubt

The Queen asked weakly, "Then... Zuo Wenyi...?"

"Just give your consent," Xiao Rui said.

Later, Ling Xiangxiang was appointed as a concubine, and the others all agreed.

Zhao Linlang was very unhappy when she found out that her position was not as high as Zhang Weizi's. Zhang Weizi saw her dissatisfaction and comforted her.

"Sister, you are the only one among the new ladies in the palace who has a title. This is an honor that not many people have. Even I, your elder sister, can't even dream of it~"

Zhao Linlang thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. It seemed that the emperor still valued her very much.

Although Zhang Weizi comforted Zhao Linlang on the surface, she didn't really think that way in her heart. The title of "Shen Changzai" was not a reward but a warning!

Song Chuning and other people who were not selected were dismissed from the palace. On the way home, Song Chuning cursed "bitch, bitch, Song Qingwan, this bitch"

The maids Qiuju and Dongmei were also helpless. The lady had originally asked them to help Song Chuning enter the palace in order to win favor and gain power step by step. They offered suggestions, but they didn't expect that they were stuck before they even got through the first level.

As soon as he got home, he threw himself into Ma Wenhui's arms and cried loudly.

Song Chuning: "Mom, I didn't make the cut!!!" Ma Wenhui patted her back gently to comfort her.

Ma Wenhui: "Okay, Ning'er, cheer up. Mother will arrange a better marriage for you. Being the mistress of the house would be more enjoyable than being an insignificant concubine!"

Song Chu looked at Ma Wenhui eagerly: "But Song Qingwan... such a lowly concubine was selected"

Ma Wenhui looked into the distance with sharp eyes and murmured

"Entering the palace is not a skill. Being able to gain a foothold in the palace is a skill!"
