Consort Hui was sent back to Yanxi Palace in disgrace to reflect on her actions.
Ulanara Mingwei, write down her name for future use.
"Hadanara Yunxi, daughter of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Hadanara Faka, is sixteen years old."
Emperor Kangxi: "Write down their names and keep them for future use."
“Guarjia Qianyi, daughter of Human, a third-rank assistant commander of the Bordered Yellow Banner, is sixteen years old.”
Xu Lejin and Consort Que exchanged a glance. Xu Lejin smiled and looked at Kangxi softly, saying, "Your Majesty, Consort Que and I have heard that Human's daughter is a candidate for the imperial concubine selection this year. Among the Manchu bannermen, she is as famous for her beauty and talent as Fei Yanggu's eldest daughter, Ulanara."
"Um,"
Kangxi responded softly, his gaze falling upon Guarjia Qianyun below.
“Raise your head and let the Imperial Noble Consort see you.”
Guarjia Qianyun paused for a moment, then respectfully replied "Yes," and slowly raised her head.
A face with fair skin and delicate bones, different from the beauty of Ulanara Yirou and Guoluo Caiqin, was presented to everyone.
Ulanara Yirou possessed a delicate, willow-like beauty, like a dodder vine; Guoluo Luocaiqin was radiant and spirited; while the woman before them, Guarjia Qianyun, possessed a gentle and virtuous beauty.
Xu Lejin scrutinized him for a moment, then looked at Kangxi with a smile, "Guarjia is a beautiful woman. Does Your Majesty have the heart to let her talent go to waste?"
"Hahaha,"
Emperor Kangxi laughed heartily three times and readily agreed, "Since the Imperial Noble Consort likes it, then write down her name for future use."
Upon hearing this, Guarjia Qianyun breathed a long sigh of relief and respectfully kowtowed to express her gratitude.
The next day.
During the selection of imperial concubines for the Mongol banners, Emperor Kangxi symbolically kept only a few.
On the third day,
The Han Banner selection process ultimately resulted in the selection of Wu Qingzi, Shen Lingyu, Fan Yunzhu, Fang Baozhu, Chu Linlang, and Fu Rendong, among others.
Among them, the Fu family's honeysuckle was left behind after Xu Lejin consulted Emperor Kangxi.
After the selection process ended, the registered candidates left the palace to return home and await the imperial decree.
Whether a prince or a member of the imperial clan becomes a Fujin (primary wife), a secondary Fujin, a Gege (princess), or enters the palace to serve, is entirely up to fate.
Ulanara family
Ulanara Yirou had an unusually beautiful face, but it was gloomy.
With icy eyes, Ulanara Yirou looked at her full-blooded sister and her half-sister beside her, and said coldly, "You two actually got selected?"
After a pause, Ulanara Yirou spoke again in a sinister tone.
"Even if one is selected, it's nothing more than being assigned to a member of the imperial family or being bestowed upon a prince as a princess..."
Ulanara Mingwei and her half-sister behind her exchanged a glance, pursed their lips, and remained silent.
Jue Luo sat upright in the main seat, looking at her silent second daughter and illegitimate daughter with a face full of contempt, and coldly reprimanded, "Since you have been chosen, then go back to your courtyards and wait for the imperial decree."
"Yi Rou, you are the elder sister, and moreover, the fourth prince's wife favored by the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort. You cannot stoop to the level of those lowly people and lower your status for nothing."
"yes,"
Ulanara Yirou glared fiercely at her two younger sisters, then smiled and linked arms with Jue Luo Shi, the mother and daughter chatting intimately.
Fei Yanggu returned home from outside, his face beaming with joy.
Mingwei and her half-sister Rong'er curtsied to Fei Yanggu. Fei Yanggu gave a perfunctory reply without much reaction, his gaze fixed on his eldest daughter, Ulanara Yirou, with obvious pride.
Prince An's Mansion
In the study, Prince An Yue Le's face was slightly gloomy, his brows furrowed. Guo Luoluo Caiqin sat carefully in the chair, her head down and not saying a word.
After a long silence, Prince An spoke coldly, "Although you have been temporarily retained, there are many outstanding women among the selected candidates this year."
"I do not keep useless people in my manor. You had better pray that you can be betrothed to the Fourth Prince, even if it's just as a princess, otherwise don't blame me for not showing any kinship..."
Guo Luoluo Caiqin was stunned for a moment, then raised her head blankly.
“Grandfather, although the Imperial Noble Consort enjoys the Emperor's great favor, as long as the overall situation remains uncertain and the Fourth Prince has not been made Crown Prince, the other princes still have a chance, Caiqin.”
Guo Luoluo Caiqin swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and lowered her head.
She was on good terms with Ulanara Yirou and knew some inside information; it was highly likely that the Fourth Prince's wife came from the Ulanara family.
Although her father had made a mistake and was the daughter of a disgraced official, she was always proud and disdained being a concubine.
She looked down on even a concubine, let alone a princess.
Prince An, Yue Le, glanced at Guo Luoluo Caiqin with an inscrutable expression. After pondering for a long time, he said coldly, "It's fine if she doesn't become the Fourth Prince's concubine, but she must be the primary consort of one of the princes."
"Also, your half-sister was not selected."
After glancing at Guo Luoluo Caiqin, Prince An coldly and ruthlessly continued to speak.
"The imperial decree has been issued. If you cannot enter the Fourth Prince's harem, then I will have no choice but to send your half-sister to the Fourth Prince's harem to become a concubine."
Upon hearing this, Guo Luoluo Caiqin nodded without hesitation.
She's just a half-sister, an eyesore since childhood. Because she's quite pretty, she followed her to her maternal grandfather's house. She's been disgusted by him for so many years. If her maternal grandfather can give her to the Fourth Prince, it would be a blessing for her.
Hu Man Mansion
Hu Man looked with satisfaction at his beautiful daughter, who had been selected and registered for service. He pondered for a moment and then said, "Qianyun, our Guarjia clan of Suwan has been quiet for a long time since Lord Ao."
“In the palace, although the eldest prince’s wife is also from the Guarjia clan of Suwan, she is five degrees of kinship with our family. We are the branch of Lord Ao.”
After a pause, Human said with a serious expression, "My son is so beautiful. After entering the palace, he will surely bring glory and favor to our Suwan Guarjia clan, and will surely restore our branch to its former glory."
