"Alright, you go back first. I'll write a letter to your aunt right away. But you have to keep yourself in check. You can't get involved in this talent show, or neither you nor the Xu family will get away with it."

"Don't worry, Mother, I know." Xu Yili nodded obediently, but having achieved his goal, the smile on his face couldn't help but reveal a bit of foolishness.

Madam Xu, wanting to avoid the disturbance, chased the person away.

This selection was not only for the emperor's concubines, but also for the princes' wives and concubines. Several women who had already been chosen were resting comfortably in their rooms. Qingyin's presence caused quite a stir, but only those who came later knew about it. Guo Luoluo Minghui, who had been chosen, was one of them. Because she was nearby and arrived late, she happened to see one of Qingyin's women.

As the granddaughter of Prince An, Yue Le, and the daughter of Heshuo Efu Ming Shang, she was also the niece of Consort Yi (of the Guo Luo Luo clan), a favorite concubine of Emperor Kangxi, and the cousin of the Ninth Prince, Yin Tang. She grew up by Consort Yi's side and was deeply loved by Emperor Kangxi.

But at this moment, the usually proud and beautiful Princess Minghui was unable to sleep all night, tossing and turning.

Bright red brows furrowed. Oh, how could someone be so beautiful? Would the Eighth Prince fall for her at first sight? What would she do then? Of course, how could the Eighth Prince not like her? She would fall for such a beautiful woman too. Waaah, how could there be such a woman?

Minghui Gege thought about this all night, and only managed to doze off for a short while at dawn.

"Princess Minghui, Princess Minghui, it's time to get up!" No matter how pleasant the voice is, it can't change the noise of the early morning. Guo Luoluo Minghui got up almost with a resentful look on her face, startling the palace maid who woke her up.
