General Fu Lu's daughter is absolutely out of the question. He holds half of the military power, and if I were to promote his daughter, wouldn't that be the same situation I faced back then? It's not impossible that I would be forced to step down in the end.
Everyone fell silent, no one saying anything more, after all, recommending someone at this point was a big problem.
"This old minister recommends Minister Geng's daughter. After all, her father is the Minister of Rites, and he must be well-educated and reasonable. What does Your Majesty think?"
I have a strong impression of Geng Yulin, the daughter of Minister Geng. When it came time to select concubines, it was only because of Minister Geng that she was casually given the title of Consort Wanyi. Her appearance was indeed rather disappointing.

Cai Shuqi returned and stared blankly at the palace plaque of Jingren Palace. "Xia Mu, I'm afraid the concubines won't come to pay their respects to me every day from now on!"
"Your Majesty, it's windy outside, let's go inside first."
Cai Shuqi turned her head and looked at the empty road, feeling for the first time the loneliness and desolation in the palace.
