Previously, Emperor Kangxi was busy with many things and hardly paid attention to the matter of approving the selection of concubines. Liang Jiugong handled everything, and Liang Jiugong would only report back to Emperor Kangxi on matters concerning the background of the concubines or those that were particularly troublesome, such as Shumulu Yixuan, who was sent out of the palace a few days ago.

"Give it to me."

Kangxi rubbed his forehead and took the list of names from Liang Jiugong.

Splash—

The thick stack of rosters was opened, and Kangxi quickly scanned the contents.

Most of it was nonsense, like daily diet, learning etiquette, greeting each other when meeting... Kangxi even skipped over the content about the Mongol banner girls.

Seeing this, Liang Jiugong lowered his head slightly, thinking of the Borjigit concubine who had never been favored. She was also a member of the Khorchin direct line, and even with the protection of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, she still lived a life of misery.

It seems that the Mongol lineage has no chance of rising again for the time being after its power in the harem weakened.

This time, all the effort Mongolia put into the talent show will probably be in vain.

"This person named Xitala Xiuning, was she targeted by Consort Shu and others?"

There are no absolute secrets in the inner palace, especially for Emperor Kangxi. He may not be able to handle the affairs of the court, but he is confident in his control over the inner palace.

He even knew most of the details about why Dong E Jingxin, Shu Mu Lu Yi Xuan, and other young ladies were sent out of the palace.

“It is this princess,” Liang Jiugong replied crisply, bowing slightly.

In fact, not only before, but even now the targeting has not stopped, only it has become more subtle and not as obvious and daring as before.

Kangxi's gaze sharpened, then he smiled and put down the list in his hand, "It does pique my curiosity."

How beautiful must she be to warrant the combined attacks of the imperial concubines?

"I would like to meet him sometime."

Curiosity was piqued, which would have been rare after Kangxi came to power. But Kangxi was still young and full of vigor. Seeing a newly selected concubine was not at all reckless for him.

Liang Jiugong was surprised, but he readily agreed.

...

To be honest, Liang Jiugong was quite efficient. Just one day after Kangxi made those remarks, he met Xiuning in the Imperial Garden.

At this moment, Xiuning had just finished paying her respects to the Empress Dowager and was walking back with the palace maid who was leading the way.

As her field of vision narrowed, a subtle yet intense gaze fell upon her, and Xiu Ning immediately noticed it.

Hmm? Someone is watching her, and they're in the distance.
