PS: I was so careless that I copied the previous revised chapter incorrectly and did not save the draft.
"Everything is just a dream..."
——Yu Qinglan

"Your Majesty, I am Nangong Xiangle, the youngest daughter of the Nangong family. I am sixteen years old this year and live in the Nangong family residence at the east corner of Funing City Street. I can play chess and dance." Nangong Xiangle's voice was sweet, and her big eyes blinked as she looked at Jin Suting without fear.
"Can you play chess?" Jin Suting's eyes lit up.
"I know a little," Nangong Xiangle said with a bit of shame, "but I always lose to my aunt..."
Jin Suting thought of the strong-willed woman in the Nangong family, "Is the aunt you are talking about Nangong Wan, the Minister of the Dali Temple?"
Nangong Xiangle smiled with his eyes curved: "Yes, yes."
This is so cute! Jin Suting liked her very much, and immediately gave her a hair flower and happily sent her away.
It's like choosing your own concubine, too much freedom.
The remaining four were not particularly satisfied, so Jin Suting rewarded them with a relatively large amount of silver. After all, seeing that the girls who came in with them were so favored by the Queen Mother, they couldn't help but feel unbalanced. Jin Suting had a firm grasp on the hearts of these girls.
The next group that came in were even more impressive. Jin Suting saw Tang Ruozhi, who was wearing a white dress, black hair, and a little makeup, looking very charming.
Oh? A change of style.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, finally an interesting one came.
"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty Li Fei."
Even his self-proclaimed name is so unique, he is indeed Tang Ruozhi.
Apart from anything else, Tang Ruozhi is definitely the one with the most beautiful face among the concubines.
Concubine Li's heart was filled with alarm, and there was only one voice in her mind: This woman cannot be allowed into the palace!
But Jin Suting acted particularly fond of Tang Ruozhi. She remembered that Tang Ruozhi used to like Helan Ruizhe very much. If she were allowed to enter the palace, it would definitely distract Helan Ruizhe's attention.
Concubine Li picked on the problem: "The one in the white dress, tell me your name."
Tang Ruozhi glanced at Jin Suting imperceptibly. She didn't notice that Helan Ruizhe was a little disappointed, but she still raised her noble head and said, "Your servant Tang Ruozhi is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I am only nineteen years old and good at singing and dancing."
Concubine Li: "Is your spine not okay?"
Jin Suting couldn't help laughing. Although she acted like she liked Tang Ruozhi very much, she was subconsciously quite repulsed by this person. She still found it funny when Concubine Li said that.
Tang Ruozhi didn't understand what was going on, and continued to look up at the people, "Why did your Majesty say that?"
Concubine Li said seriously: "If your spine is fine, why do you keep tilting your neck up and looking at people through your nose?"
This revealed that the entire Changle Palace was full of people laughing at her, and even the concubines outside who heard a few words were laughing and talking about Tang Ruozhi.
Jin Suting almost burst out laughing. "Well done, Princess Nanjiang!" She was the only one who spoke so bluntly.
Of course Tang Ruozhi couldn't stand being humiliated like this, but she had also learned her lesson, so she lowered her head and dared not speak.
Then Concubine Li turned her attention to another girl. She looked very small and malnourished. "That gray one, I'm talking about you. What's your name?"
The girl known as "Gray Flush" actually had a pair of bright eyes. She raised her head and looked directly into Concubine Li's eyes: "I am Lü Yuewen, a commoner, seventeen years old, and the granddaughter of the Lü family."
However, when Jin Suting saw her face clearly, she was shocked.
She looks so much like Jin Xiwen!
But if it was really Jin Xiwen, why would she be here? Didn’t Helan Yinsheng say that she was dead?
Jin Suting recalled the information she had looked through yesterday about the concubines. Only Lv Yuewen had not submitted a portrait...
Could it be that she has now transformed into a member of the Lu family? Although the Lu family has been defeated, it is definitely not a good thing to let her enter the palace!
But Concubine Li seemed to like her very much. She came from an inconspicuous small family, was very honest and pretty. It would be great if she could have a few dozen more beauties like her.
She stared at the four remaining hair flowers and secretly made up her mind to get one for the gray-faced Lu Yuewen.
"I like her very much." Concubine Li was the first to express her opinion. She looked at Jin Suting with a smile, meaning that she wanted her to keep the person.
Jin Suting was very sorry: "I don't like her."
Jin Suting: "Yueji, give the hair flower to the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The others can leave."
Concubine Li was furious. "Why can you keep the ones you like, but not the ones I like?"
Jin Suting replied with a smile: "Because I am the queen~"
It’s so infuriating!
Concubine Li refused to give in: "I am the emperor's first concubine!"
Jin Suting smiled and said, "I am his first wife."
Concubine Li: “…”
In the end, she gave in: "I don't care, you have to keep her. I won't stop you from choosing any more people later!"
"Are you serious?" Jin Suting was very surprised. Exchanging Lu Yuewen for Concubine Li's obsession should be a good deal.
So she readily agreed, but later, Yueji told her unfortunately, "My lady, there are only two hair flowers left."
"What did you say?!" Jin Suting's sudden increase in voice startled the concubine who had just entered.
Suddenly she glared at Concubine Li fiercely. No wonder this little girl said that she didn't care how many people were chosen later.
It turned out that he had known that there were not many flowers left. "Didn't I tell you to prepare two more pots of flowers?!"
Yueji was distressed: "This is what Sister Qin'er meant. She said this is what His Majesty meant."
Damn...
Helan Ruizhe, I owe you...
