She is far from being able to compare with the two concubines with amazing backgrounds who were selected this time.
The two newly selected concubines arrived almost at the same time.
One of them had a bright and beautiful face, and she was none other than Concubine Xue who had just beaten someone. The other one had a gentle temperament, and she was Concubine Cen, the legitimate daughter of Duke Xin.
As soon as the two of them appeared, Jingxi Palace became quiet.
Many people saw Concubine Xue beating someone just now, and they thought that she would not be polite to Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhuang.
