The King said this calmly.
He did not think that those young maids were of any importance to him. The reason why he arranged the selection was because he needed to find Xunyang's replacement. Now what happened to Xunyang was history, and he was totally relieved. However, young maids were still selected, so he decided to follow the routine to the end.
He was too old to take new girls for himself, and he was used to that idea, but the Empress Dowager insisted that he should keep two, so he followed what she wanted.
There were many young maids selected this year and he did not have many children.
The eldest son was always at the boundary, so all he needed was just a Princess Consort.
Huaiyu had a Princess Consort too, and he would have the right to get one Princess Concubine if he wanted. So now it came to Huailing and Huaijin.
