Zhou Imperial City.
Ever since the Imperial Palace announced it was recruiting Maids, people all over the Zhou Kingdom had been getting ideas.
This was especially true for the people of the Zhou Imperial City, living right under the Emperor's nose.
It wasn't just common families; many wealthy households also wanted to send their daughters into the palace.
After all, if their daughter happened to catch His Majesty's eye, even if she didn't become an Imperial Consort, becoming a Talented Person or even a Female Official would be a great outcome.
However, the number of women who could be selected for the palace was limited.
So, aside from a few truly exceptional women who were chosen, many people bribed the Palace Maids sent out by the Imperial Palace in the hopes of getting their daughters in.
