In previous years, Concubine Keshun would have been busy as well, but this year she was occupied with something else and that's her son had returned.
She needed to focus on selecting a consort for Rong Zishen.
Under the pretext of this selection, Rong Zishen had been summoned back, but appearances had to be maintained.
Choosing a consort to bring home would help reassure the Emperor's heart.
People in Concubine Keshun's palace bustled back and forth.
The preparations had begun even before the New Year and at last, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, the selection of a consort for the Second Prince officially began.
The Emperor attached great importance to it, so envoys from various countries all arrived.
What surprised Yue Mingxuan and Shang Qinghua was that Xieshang Kingdom had actually brought a princess.
It was said she was one of the Emperor of Xieshang's most favored daughters.
