Lord Shangshu, who has been responsible for selecting concubines for the palace for many years, has been severely criticized by the palace: his vision is getting worse every year.
Lord Shangshu was in a depressed mood and went to the Tang Mansion to enjoy the flowers and relax. When he met the daughter of the Tang family, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Master Tang, if your daughter participates in the selection of the concubine, the palace will be very satisfied."
Tang Qiao was sweating profusely: "My little girl doesn't like life in the palace."
Lord Shangshu said with a smile, "When choosing a concubine in the palace, women of the right age among the people have no right to say no."
Tang Qiao wiped his sweat and said, "My little girl has been betrothed to someone else."
Lord Shangshu stroked his sleeves and left.
The daughter of the Tang family and the only son of the Xie family got married more than ten years ago. Later, the Xie family was demoted due to being slandered in the officialdom. The whole family moved out of the capital and lost contact. Now Tang Qiao told the matter in a hurry, but he didn't know how to bring up the marriage with the Xie family again. Unexpectedly, the Xie family's son came to Beijing to take the exam and proposed marriage, but the daughter of the Tang family, who had never left home, ran away from the marriage without even meeting her future husband...
