In March, joyous events kept happening, and Song Ci only attended the coming-of-age ceremony of her future granddaughter-in-law, Guan Shuyan. As April came and her birthday quietly passed, the maidens gradually traveled to the capital to participate in the selection process.
The Song Mansion also welcomed a special guest, sharing the surname Song. Her maiden name is Song Xin, hailing from the Song Family Village in Yu Hang, with her father serving as a Deputy Magistrate in Chongzhou.
Song Xin just turned fifteen this year and was initially involved in marriage talks. However, her maternal grandfather passed away, after which she observed a year of mourning, causing the marriage discussions to pause. Coinciding with this year's palace selection, her name was submitted.
