The consort selection ceremony was finally coming to an end, and the results were about to be revealed.
" The following are all rank-ten Chang Zai, Zhao Jingling, Ji Wanru, Qi Siyi…"
Without her…Ge Ning didn't know how she would react. She should have felt hopeless, but now she felt a little lucky.
" This time, there are also two lower ninth-grade talents…" The eunuch paused." They are Mu Gening and Wanqi Ting."”
Did it work…Ge Ning didn't know why she felt uneasy.
"The ceremony will be held in three days. Please prepare well in these three days.”
Ge Ning didn't know how she got back to her residence. She kept thinking," I've been conferred the title of talent." She didn't know whether to be sad for losing her freedom or to be happy that her parents and Xi Yan were safe from danger.
"You've succeeded." A familiar voice sounded from behind.
Ge Ning didn't know how to face him.
"You don't seem surprised or happy.”Ge Ning didn't turn around. She tried her best to calm down and talked to Kaede calmly.
"Because I know that you will succeed.”
"Even I'm not sure. How can you be so sure?" Ge Ning was surprised.!”
When she met Kaede's eyes, she realized that the usually emotionless Kaede's eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
"It's better if you don't know. Sometimes, knowing too much can put people in danger.”Kaede didn't put away the complicated look in her eyes. Instead, she stared at Ge Ning.
Conspiracy! For some reason, these two words suddenly appeared in Ge Ning's mind.
Conspiracy? Whose conspiracy was it? Who would go through so much trouble to set up an ordinary person like her? Perhaps... from the moment the Second Young Master of the Minister came to visit, she had become extraordinary. Now that she had become the emperor's woman, she was even more extraordinary.
Before the coronation ceremony, the newly conferred women all dressed up and came to the main hall.
"They clearly entered the palace together, but they didn't stand out! Why are they talented people while we can only be Chang Zai!”
"If it wasn't because of their family background, then they could charm the emperor!”
Ge Ning heard these unbearable words before she even entered the door.
She paused, not knowing if she should go in.
Just as she was hesitating, Wanqi Ting walked in as if she hadn't heard anything.
Ge Ning collected herself and followed him in.
When they saw Wanqi Ting and Ge Ning enter, the side hall that was originally filled with discussions fell silent for a moment.
After a while, they whispered again,"He doesn't look much better than us! Why should their status be higher than ours?”
"Don't say anymore! If we let them remember us, they will definitely kill us in the future!”
A woman couldn't hold it in any longer, pointing straight at Wanqi Ting's nose and shouting,""I entered the palace with you! You also promised not to snatch it from me! What are you trying to do now?!"
Wanqi Ting calmly turned her face away."This is the emperor and empress dowager's intention. How can we, women who are not even comparable to concubines, guess their thoughts?”
"You!" The woman gave Wanqi Ting a tight slap.
The palace maids at the side were frightened by her sudden action, and they quickly went forward to show concern for Wanqi Ting. A few of them even ran in panic to inform the granny in charge.
"Presumptuous! How dare you offend your superiors!"
The woman snorted coldly,"Didn't you offend your superiors too?" A mere palace maid dares to point fingers at me! Do you know my identity?"
The palace maid was obviously a little timid, but her body still trembled slightly as she said,"After entering the palace, no matter what identity you had in the past, you can only look at your current status.”
"I'm still Chang Zai after all!" The woman was even more furious. How can a slave like you talk nonsense!"
"They're all people with status! What's with the noise!" It was still a familiar voice, but there was a hint of majesty.
