On this day, Gao Yanyun came to Jingyi Palace again and summoned two people, Jiang Changning and Xie Baoyin.

Xie Baoyin was a little uneasy, "Sister Ning, why did the Queen Mother summon me?"

"The Queen Mother has the right to summon any beautiful girl." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"You know that's not what I meant." Xie Baoyin pouted.

Jiang Changning looked at Gao Yanyun's back and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, the Queen Mother is very kind."

In front of Xie Baoyin, as Jiang Changning said, the Queen Mother behaved very kindly. She asked about some situations in Xie Baoyin's family.

Xie Baoyin answered honestly. After lunch, Gao Yanyun sent the two of them back to Jingyi Palace.

On the morning of the sixth day of July, the remaining thirty-one show girls went to Changchun Palace.

They will go through the selection of the emperor, the queen mother, the empress, the noble concubine, and the virtuous concubine, and decide on the final stay.

The beautiful ladies were divided into groups of five and entered the main hall.

There were only the queen mother, empress, noble concubine and virtuous concubine in the palace. The emperor could not come due to the sudden war report.

The waiter holding the ceremony said, "Jiang Changning, the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family in Hangzhou, is sixteen years old."

"Fang Youting, the daughter of Fang Hai, the Chengxuan Administrative Envoy of Zhejiang Province, is sixteen years old."

"Chen Yi, the daughter of Chen Qishan, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, is sixteen years old."

"Zhuang Qingchan, the daughter of Zhuang Shenmao, the left servant of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is fifteen years old."

"Chen Yuyu, the daughter of Chen Siqi, the magistrate of Jinmen County, is fourteen years old."

As the beautiful ladies came out to pay homage one by one, the Queen Mother asked, "Have you ever studied?"

The queen asked: "What are the words in the name?"

The imperial concubine kept saying: "My daughter's family should focus on needlework."

Concubine Xian said: "All of them are beautiful and unparalleled."

Among the five people in Jiang Changning's group, only Chen Yuyu was given a card.

After four selections, ten beauties were left.

Including the six people who had titles in the first show, one-third of the women in this show have been eliminated.

The twenty-one people who were not given the cards received their palace cards and returned home to wait for the marriage.

There were twenty-one maids accompanying the beautiful ladies out of the palace.

The ten people who stayed in the palace were promoted to the eighth rank of ladies because they were not ready to sleep.

If they are lucky enough to be favored, they can still be promoted. Otherwise, they can only wait until the emperor seals the harem.

If they cannot be favored and the emperor is stingy and does not enclose a large harem, then they will most likely be stuck in the position of a lady for the rest of their lives.

Jiang Changning, Song Yirou, Zhao Xifang, Xie Baoyin, Zhuang Qingchan, Chen Yi, Fang Youting and others received their cards, were assigned a palace maid, packed their things and left the palace.

Back to the banker, everyone at the banker has been waiting for a long time.

No matter who the three of them are accused of marrying to, their family status must be higher than that of the banker.

Mrs. Zhuang did not dare to neglect and led the whole family to welcome them outside the gate.

"Old lady, you don't have to be polite, please get up." Jiang Changning stepped forward to help Old Madam Zhuang up.

Zhuang Qingchan helped her aunt Wu, and Xie Baoyin helped Zou.

We went to Mrs. Zhuang's yard together, sat down in the flower hall, and the maid brought tea.

Zou asked eagerly: "Is Qingyan okay in the palace?"

"Third sister is very good in the palace and is now an eighth-grade lady." Zhuang Qingchan replied.

"How are you doing in the palace?" Mrs. Zhuang asked tentatively.

She wanted to know whether the three of them had close contacts with the nobles in the palace, and whether they knew who they were going to marry.

This question is not only being asked by Mrs. Zhuang, but also by the family members of other beautiful girls who are waiting for their marriage.

"Sister Xie and I both went to have lunch with the Queen Mother." Jiang Changning said with a faint smile.

As for whom the Queen Mother would point her and Xie Baoyin to, the Queen Mother did not say, she did not know, and it was not easy to speculate.

Zhuang Qingchan's performance in the palace was quite satisfactory. She made no mistakes and was never summoned by a palace concubine above the fourth rank.

After chatting insincerely for a while, the three girls took the maids back to the courtyard.

"Girl!" Xiulan's fourth maid was very excited when she saw Jiang Changning.

The master and servant hadn't seen each other for a month, and they missed each other very much.

"Fang Ju, this is Liu Ye from the palace. Arrange a place for her." Jiang Changning ordered.

"Yes, girl." Fang Ju smiled at Liu Ye, "Sister Liu Ye, please come with me."

"Girl, that slave has to go and settle down first." Liu Ye saluted.

After Jiang Changning nodded in agreement, Liu Ye left with Fang Ju.

"He is really a very particular person." Fu Cui said with a smile.

"You think everyone is just like you, with bananas planted in ancient trees." Shu Fei scolded with a smile.

"How can I not?" Fu Cui pouted.

"Okay, you two, stop bickering. Fu Cui went to see if the bird's nest soup was ready. The girl has lost weight after being in the palace for a month. Shu Fei, you ask someone to go to the kitchen to fetch hot water and let the girl soak it.

Take a quick and easy bath." Xiulan arranged it very carefully.

Shu Fei and Fu Cui listened to her words and walked out.

Jiang Changning lay down on the beauty's couch, "It's still comfortable at home."

I'm used to being served by others and having no one to serve me. I feel like I'm not used to that.

It is really easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Days flew by, and three days passed. Early that morning, the wedding ceremony arrived, and it was for Jiang Changning alone.

The imperial edict was filled with compliments. Jiang Changning was a lady from a well-known family, dignified and beautiful. He was the heir of King Helianyu of the Jin Dynasty and a talented young man.

The two were truly a match made in heaven, and the Queen Mother specially granted marriage to them.

Matters related to the wedding were handed over to the ceremony department, and the wedding date was set for the sixth day of October.

Jiang Changning was extremely shocked. As a helpless orphan, she married into the prince's palace as a step-concubine. This was more than a high achievement!

She simply stepped on the Qingyun Ladder and soared ninety thousand miles!

But there was no feeling of happiness, only shuddering.

"Congratulations, girl, please take the order." The chamberlain smiled.

"Changning takes the order." Jiang Changning took the order with both hands, "Xiulan!"

Xiulan immediately put the prepared purse into the hands of the waiter, "Thank you for your hard work, sir. This is for you to drink tea."

"Thank you for your reward, Miss." The waiter saluted respectfully.

It means that the wedding decree has been issued, the wedding date has been set, and Jiang Changning is confirmed to be the Princess of Jin.

"Our family has issued the decree, and it's time to return to the palace." The chamberlain did not stay at the banker's house longer, and left with the team announcing the decree.

"Sister Ning, congratulations." Xie Baoyin smiled.

The Zhuang family also came over to say congratulations. They were surprised that Jiang Changning was allegedly married to Prince Jin.

It was not only the Zhuang family that was surprised, but also other government officials did not expect that the Queen Mother would recommend such an orphan to Prince Jin as his step-concubine.

"The Emperor is very jealous of the King of Jin!" Those who said this were Zheng Guogong and Zhao Guogong who were in neutral.

Song Yirou, who was waiting at home to be accused of being married to Prince Jin, found out that the Queen Mother had pointed out Jiang Changning to Prince Jin. She was furious, grabbed the sword hanging in the boudoir, and rushed out.

Mrs. Song Er came in from outside and stopped her, "Yirou, where are you going?"

"I'm going to kill that person named Jiang so that she can't marry Prince Jin." Song Yirou said fiercely.

"Don't mess around." Second Madam Song shouted sternly.

Song Yirou shouted: "Prince Jin is my favorite."

"So what? Now that the Queen Mother has proposed that Miss Jiang to Prince Jin, you should be careful. I'm afraid your marriage proposal is about to reach the palace. Put down your sword and stop messing around."

"I won't marry anyone you show me. I will marry the King of Jin."
