"Your Majesty, the harem cannot go a day without an Empress, otherwise who will manage the affairs in the harem?"
"Noble Princess Consort Ying and Princess Consort Li are managing quite well," the Emperor smiled, "Without an Empress, the harem is much more peaceful."
"Then will you still conduct a selection?" Sun Kui cautiously reminded the Emperor, "Your Majesty, there are only a few noble ladies left in the harem. Would you like to hold a selection to expand it?"
The Emperor raised his eyes and glanced sideways at Sun Kui: "What, did my late mother come to you in a dream and urge you, her grandson, to remind me to hold a selection?"
Sun Kui was so frightened by these words that he knelt on the ground, his face full of terror and unease.
"This servant dares not, this servant deserves to die."
Seeing Sun Kui trembling on his knees, the Emperor said disdainfully, "Get up, I am not blaming you."
