The Daxin Dynasty holds a selection of concubines every three years, and all the ladies who successfully pass through the two rounds will attend a flower-viewing banquet hosted by the Empress or the Empress Dowager. This is both to examine the etiquette of each concubine and to give the Emperor a chance to meet them and take note in his heart.
Now that the Central Palace has no Empress, and the Empress Dowager is plagued with illness, it naturally falls to Ye Qiu, the Vice Empress, to host this event. It is now the Si hour, and once the Emperor is done with state affairs, he will also come. At that time, whichever concubine catches his eye, it will be a matter of their own skills.
However, Ye Qiu looked at the group of charming and beautiful ladies with disdain. With Qiao Qingyue present today, who else could catch Ji Fei's eye?
