The news got out, and the new emperor repented and resolved to be a wise ruler, releasing the women in the palace who did not want to enter.
Then, in the home of this high-ranking official, preparations were made for his daughter. She was dressed up beautifully and awaited entering the palace for the imperial concubine selection.
"Your Majesty, the selection of concubines is all ready. Would you like to take a look and see if there are any details that need improvement?"
Lin Xiao didn't even lift his eyelids, and waved his hand to say that he would do as instructed.
Well, maybe he can marry a few beauties to regain his virility; he would never admit that he has been overshadowed by his own wife!
Manager Li was incredibly efficient, handling everything from selecting catalogs and setting up the venue to gathering everyone together. He himself was amazed at his own talent, thinking how capable he was!
He gathered all the daughters and nieces sent by the court officials into one room, and the official in charge of the Ministry of Rites completely abandoned all decorum. He even forgot about the rules and followed his daughter in.
"Chief Steward Li, you're a favorite of the Emperor today. Our relationship is no less than theirs, is it? I'm entrusting my daughter's matter to you."
The Minister of Rites smiled broadly, deliberately not waiting for Chief Steward Li to speak, and then walked away, giving his daughter a knowing look.
At noon, the grand event was specially chosen on this auspicious day to give him a good counterattack!
The selection process was complicated, and only ten people were chosen; they were merely candidates. The entire palace awaited Lin Xiao.
He wore a bright yellow robe embroidered with dragon patterns, and the golden sleeves were held behind his back by his hands.
His handsome face, illuminated by the morning sun, appeared majestic like a god, exuding nobility and the aura of a ruler of the world, along with his unrestrained smile.
The women present held their breath, finally seeing the emperor's face, and died without regret!
This reaction greatly pleased Lin Xiao; he had finally shown his full assertiveness!
Who said I couldn't be the dominant one? You little brat, hmph, you big jerk, oh wait, I mean, my cunning little wife. Just you wait!
Several women, being bolder, stepped forward to speak, but were frightened back by the Empress's overwhelming dignity. They considered themselves afraid.
"Your Majesty, the lotus banquet is ready. The Third Prince has brought someone over. Would you like him?"
"Well, Little Li, you should know how to do the rest now."
Long Qianyi, who had been waiting outside, was holding his younger sister's hand as they waited for Lin Xiao at the palace. He couldn't very well confront Fu Lingtian directly and try to take her away. But had no one told him he couldn't plant someone inside?
He feels good as long as he sees Fu Lingtian suffer a million times more!
Long Qianyi looked his younger sister Long Xiyao up and down. She was naturally intelligent, so beautiful that she seemed to have no worldly concerns.
Her cherry-red lips, naturally beautiful and luscious, are the kind of mouth any man would find attractive. She would be worthy of being an empress!
The woman pursed her lips and gently tilted her head, letting two strands of hair fall softly and naturally in the wind, adding a touch of alluring charm.
She asked her brother shyly, "Brother, is it really possible to see the Emperor? I heard he's been very busy lately, and even the imperial concubine selection was handled by Chief Eunuch Li."
"Don't worry, sister. With your brother's friendship with him, His Majesty will surely grant this small request. Oh, look, he's here right now. Your Majesty, may you be well."
Lin Xiao pretended to be polite but still said, "This must be your younger sister. She's really beautiful. I've never heard the Third Prince mention her before?"
