In the hall, sitting on the two Taishi chairs in the front direction are Guo Lin, the master of the Guo family, and Guo Lin's wife Wang Ke. Then, in the row on the right, sit Guo Lin's concubine Ding Jing, and Guo Wen, the son of Guo Lin's relative.

, sitting opposite are Wang Ke’s eldest daughter Guo Mengxue and Wang Ke’s second daughter Guo Ningxue.

Guo Lin, Wang Ke and Ding Jing all had serious faces, wondering what they were thinking about. Guo Wen, Guo Mengxue and Guo Ningxue looked at each other boredly.

A burst of panicked footsteps came from the west, breaking the solemn scene.

Then, two figures appeared in front of everyone.

Guo Yixue returned to women's clothing, wearing a simple light green dress. Half of her black hair was fixed with a small hairpin, and strands of hair were scattered around her forehead.

"Dad, aunt, mother, Yixue is late." There was a slight breath in her delicate voice.

"Humph." Guo Lin made a single sound from his nostrils and glared at her displeasedly.

Wang Ke looked at her disdainfully, his tone mixed with disgust, "You also know that you are late, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Sit down quickly, Yixue." Ding Jing said calmly, seeming to listen to Wang Ke's words.

"Yes." Guo Yixue obediently lowered her head, bowed, and sat next to her cousin Guo Wen.

Guo Lin glanced at everyone, and then said, "Since everyone is here, let me start talking." He paused, picked up the tea next to him, took a sip, and then said, "The Queen Mother has made an order.

, I want to hold a concubine selection banquet for the Third Prince."

Third Prince?

Guo Yixue, Guo Mengxue and Guo Ningxue looked at each other. Isn't the third prince the stupid prince that everyone knows?

It is rumored that he played with fire and his face was burned, and his originally beautiful face turned ugly. It is rumored that he was hit on his foot by a flower pot and became lame. It is rumored that he went to the kitchen to play with a knife and cut off two of his own fingers. It is rumored that...

Anyway, the rumors say that the third prince is stupid, ugly and lame, which is not good at all.

But the rumors are just rumors and no one has confirmed the truth.

"Ahem, the court officials are required to have daughters who are unmarried, unengaged, and over the age of sixteen to attend the concubine selection banquet." He raised his eyes, looked at the three daughters, and said slowly, "Which of you meets the criteria?

condition?"

Not married?

Passed all three.

Not engaged?

Guo Mengxue breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had gotten engaged to the second son of the Mei family a few days ago, so she finally didn't have to attend the silly prince's concubine selection banquet.

Over sixteen years old?

Guo Ningxue secretly rejoiced that she was over fifteen years old and not yet sixteen.

"Mengxue?" Guo Lin cast a confused look.

"Did Dad forget? I got engaged to the second son of the Mei family a few days ago." Guo Mengxue said unhurriedly.

"What about Ningxue?"

"Dad, I'm not yet sixteen years old." Guo Ningxue said irritatedly.

"Where's Yixue?"

The corners of Guo Yixue's mouth twitched. If she remembered correctly, she was not married, not engaged, and was seventeen years old...

Lotus standing next to her gently touched her arm.

Guo Yixue sighed helplessly, "I meet the conditions."

"Okay," Guo Lin stood up, "then prepare for the concubine selection banquet to be held in three days."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the other courtyard.

The aunt Wang Ke stood up, glanced at her up and down, and then sneered, "Don't worry, I won't choose you."

Guo Mengxue stood up, supported Wang Ke, and left.

"Don't worry." Guo Ningxue snickered, looked at her with gloating, and then left too.

Ding Jing stood up and said in a calm tone, "It's okay to choose, just be prepared." After that, she left.
