In a blink of an eye, the time to select the fair ladies to enter the palace arrived.
Technically, this group should have arrived in the Capital City long ago. However, due to the Emperor's feud with Qin Kun and his preoccupation with carrying out the imperial examination, there was a delay.
These selected fair ladies had been living outside the palace for quite a while. Other than the daughters of the capital officials, the rest of them stayed at the Yamen in the Capital City.
After multiple rounds of selection, there were still more than a hundred fair ladies who qualified to enter the palace.
These fair ladies were allowed to meet the Emperor. However, they still had to gain the consent of the Emperor to enter the palace officially. If the Emperor believed they were not attractive enough, even those with powerful connections could not enter the palace.
Nan Feng also heard the eunuchs discussing this matter in the gardens.
