This year is the selection year.
Since last year, the fine ladies have been arriving in the capital one after another.
His Majesty is young, and there are still many positions in the imperial harem, so many fine ladies from all over the Great Qing wish to enter the palace.
Everyone knows there's a favored Noble Consort there, yet most of the fine ladies still believe there are positions available in the imperial harem.
A small number of them, with great ambition, even think they can replace the Noble Consort.
Originally, the Ye Family's two daughters were also fine ladies for this selection.
However, Ye Ying has already been betrothed, so whether or not she participates, it doesn't matter.
Ye Jin's conduct has been spoiled, so there's no question of her entering the selection.
Nevertheless, the Fifth Prince's Haha Zhuzi, Fei Yanga, after realizing that the lady he saw at the bookshop that day was a fine lady, subtly reported it to the Master.
