"Have someone go and speak to Su Peisheng." Qingyan must ensure the safety of the backyard. Some girls awaiting the imperial concubine selection have returned today, and their reputations must be taken into account.
Logically speaking, before the selection of imperial concubines, all the women in the imperial concubine selection process belong to the emperor, unless their family status is too low or they are illegitimate daughters whose families have arranged for them to be exempt from the selection. Otherwise, they are all the emperor's women.
"Yes." Su Lan waved to the end of the corridor, and a palace maid came out of the courtyard. She whispered a few words in the maid's ear.
Qingyan stared blankly at the doorway. Fortunately, Songkelierha hadn't come yet, or the little guy's future might have been in the border region.
These princes are very cunning; they want to use this method to get noble ladies to marry into their families.
Later, Yin made an excuse to go into the backyard. He had just reached the second gate when he saw Qingyan staring blankly in the corridor.
"Little darling, were you frightened?" Yin noticed that Qingyan's face was flushed from the sun. It must be that Consort Tong was discussing matters with the wives from outside the pass, and the little darling had the sense to come out.
She looked up at Yin, a smile appearing on her face.
"Fourth Prince, why did you come here?" Qingyan asked, puzzled. Wasn't Yin going to listen to her?
"Father is discussing matters with the princes," Yin whispered in her ear. "You must be extra careful; those heirs have ulterior motives. Fortunately, none of the girls slated for this year's imperial concubine selection have come, otherwise..."
Qingyan frowned. What were these young masters thinking?
"How many have arrived?" Qingyan noticed that the second gate was completely surrounded by the imperial guards, their eyes wide with menacing intent, all to protect the women in the inner courtyard.
"All the princes who are to be betrothed this year have come, presumably to have the Emperor take a look and prepare for a marriage decree," Yin replied, rubbing his temples. (To be continued.
