Xu Hong, the daughter of the minister of affairs is one of the strongest contenders to be the emperor's concubine which is slightly lower to the two empress candidates, Murong Lu Shan and Nalan He Xin but, still she has the capability to be one since she has the potential and grace a woman of a harem must-have.
Right now her father is explaining what just happened just now. When she heard the carriage of her father stopping in front of their house she immediately left her room to greet him only to find him escorting an extremely beautiful woman, even the infamous beauties of their empire cannot be matched at the woman in front of her though she didn't let herself be taken by the woman's beauty since she thought that the woman is his father's new concubine.
"Father, who is that woman did you brought a mistress and make that woman you're concubine" she was quite surprised when her father reprimands her but she heard what he said next to that she was silenced.
"Hong er! You must not talk like that, the walls have ears and that woman is not just a normal woman, she's the beloved daughter of the Liu emperor you must not say something discourteous things like that again if you still want us to live longer" Liu empire, an ancient empire that even until now maintains its prosperity and power and the woman that is going to stay at their home is it's current emperor's infamous doted daughter. A goddess with golden locks of hair and beautiful jade eyes. She had heard of the rumors about the woman but she is still surprised at how she really looks like in person.
"But father why does the well-known princess from is in our home" his father then sat on his seat and then drank the tea that is in the table in front of him once he was finally dehydrated he looked at his daughter.
"Listen Hong er, the princess visited because of the said engagement of the emperor to a certain woman but still how come they know it this early even…" When she heard what his father said she cannot help but feel emotional.
"Fa… father is… is that true does the Emperor is now willing to take a woman does that mean that I can also…" Xu Zhaohui was surprised at what he just heard from his daughter, that is right he had been keeping it a secret to his daughter because he doesn't want her to feel wrong since the emperor himself said that he won't be marrying another woman other than that said one.
He didn't know what to do now since he saw how excited his daughter is that he can even imagine her eyes shining but still this is one of the things that she must say in order to be a proper father to this young lady.
Xu Hong was quite pleasant to what she heard from his father that she cannot help her beating heart. The emperor is the person she has been longing for, the person who had it all and she cannot help but blush because of that excitement but what her father said shattered that dream.
"Hong er, the truth is that the emperor won't be marrying another woman other than that one" She was so upset that she cannot help but to take it on her father.
"Father you said you'll let Hong er marry the Emperor how come!" He is not quite surprised at what reaction he got from his daughter since this kind of thing also happened to the other noble daughters in the empire who had heard of this news.
But still, he has a good plan in mind and also he didn't plan to let the princess on his home but still this is also might come in handy.
He might need to use that princess in a very useful manner.
