The sky had just darkened.
Liu Cheng'en led ten young masters who had just entered the palace for the ritual, heading towards Baiyu City.
These ten young men mostly held the title of beauty; each of them was youthful, vibrant, and charming. Yet, at this moment, they suppressed their inner excitement, following silently behind Liu Cheng'en.
The leading lady was the only noble lady among these ten beauties.
Lan Lingrong, Noble Lady Lan.
During the selection process that day, she took the initiative to greet Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager and impressed Your Majesty with a Kunqu Opera, earning the title of Noble Lady Lan.
She hailed from Shanyang County, where her mother was a concubine of Lan Huai, the County Magistrate of Shanyang.
At the same time, she was also a popular geisha in Shanyang County Town.
After Lan Huai assumed his post as the County Magistrate, she was forced into the mansion and became a favored concubine.
