"Alright, I'll go now."

With a pat on his head, the little eunuch scampered off.

Currently, in the Elegant Heir Palace, standing in front of the Emperor's concubines was the second group of beauties.

The first group of beauties was not very pleasing to the eyes. Though the Emperor did not express anything, the Empress took this opportunity to deliberately mock Jiang Ning.

As expected, not a single one from this group was retained.
