Jiang Ning limped out of her quarters one day and entered the Jiang family's second courtyard, just as the Emperor was selecting a concubine for Prince Yu.  Noble ladies from high-ranking families put in their best efforts to participate in the selection, but the flower fell on Jiang Ning, who was merely there to watch the spectacle.  Jiang Ning was confused.

When Lin Zizi was pregnant and the Imperial Physician diagnosed the baby as a girl, Jiang Ruobai and Lin Zizi joyfully chose four newborn girls from their servants' families. They asked the families to raise them well as they were intended to be companions for their legitimate daughter in the future.

Jiang Ruobai had a keen eye, indeed the four girls grew up beautifully, particularly Xiachu, who was clever and composed, and greatly liked by Lin Zizi.

Later, their rightful daughter went missing. Even when Lin Zizi was devastated and mentally unstable, she still treated these girls, prepared for her daughter, very well.

When Jiang Ning returned, these girls naturally became her companions.
