"Okay, all of you, stop being so restrained, and get up and go in!" Shen Meimei looked at the three children and said to Caixing beside her, "It seems that we have to choose a concubine for the emperor!"

Inside Shoukang Palace, Yunxi, Yurao, Concubine Xin, Concubine Duan and others all sat down according to their ranks.

Shen Meimei said:

"Today the emperor is already thirteen years old. In two or three years, when he turns sixteen, he will choose a concubine.

Although I don't want my child to marry and have children early, it's a pity that if I don't have a queen and concubines, this good girl will be picked away."

As she spoke, she looked at Concubine Xin and said, "You are very straightforward. Does anyone recommend you secretly?"

Concubine Xin moved out of the palace three years ago. After Hongzhan came of age, she also moved to the prince's palace and lived a happy life there.

Originally, among the few people, Shen Meimei was the youngest and Concubine Duan was the oldest. Now that the three of them were sitting together, from the appearance, Shen Meimei had several times more white hair, looking older and more tired.

Yunxi thought for a moment, then bowed and said:

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor's selection of a concubine is a major event. I recommend one person, Fucha, a member of the Bordered Yellow Banner of the Manchus, the youngest daughter of Li Rongbao, the governor of Chahar.

This girl is dignified, beautiful, quiet, and very virtuous. She just turned twelve this year. We can settle her down first and hold the wedding when she reaches the age."

Concubine Duan nodded and continued:

“Empress Dowager, what King Shen said is true, this girl has a very good reputation.

I suggest that we hold a poetry meeting in the palace, invite these girls to come to the palace to appreciate flowers and write poems, and then select some suitable ones from them, what do you think? "

Shen Meimei thought this was a great idea, and she smiled and agreed:

"Zeru, why don't you come on time? This poetry meeting will be scheduled for three days. Concubine Xin and Concubine Duan will take the lead and invite all the noble ladies in the capital. When the time comes, you can also help me!"

Three days later, a poetry reading was arranged in the Imperial Garden.

The noble ladies in the capital were all dressed up beautifully. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was a poetry gathering, but in fact it was a concubine selection.

Fucha was wearing a simple and elegant light pink dress, with not much decoration on her head, but she looked very graceful.

Ulanara likes the color blue. She wears a blue Manchu dress and looks lively and cute, giving her a bit of Ye Lanyi's feeling.

Gao Bin's third daughter, Gao, was quite bold and wore a bright red Manchu dress, which was bright and charming.

Shen Meimei sat on the armchair, looking at the girls coming and going in the courtyard. The flowers were colorful and more festive than those in the imperial garden.

At this time, she heard a girl speaking Korean. Shen Meimei couldn't help but turn her head and found a girl wearing Korean costumes.

"Whose child is this?" Shen Meimei asked Concubine Xin.

"Oh, it's her. She's the youngest daughter of the director of the Goryeo office in the capital. Her name seems to be Jin Enxi. This name is quite strange!"

Shen Meimei was shocked, "She is here for the talent show too?"

Concubine Duan covered her mouth and smiled, "She just came here to join in the fun. She can't speak Mandarin yet, so she can only communicate in simple terms."

Shen Meimei was talking to the two concubines when Hongxin and Jinmi came running over in a hurry.

Jin Mi pointed at the girls:

"Look, these are the wives that the Empress Dowager has chosen for you. Which one do you like? Tell me and I'll talk to the Empress Dowager for you, okay?"

Hongxin looked left and right and said half-jokingly:

"It's over, I'll marry them all! I've seen so many of them, I like them all!"

Jin Mi hit Hong Xin hard on the head, "What a playboy!"
