Originally, it was supposed to be announced on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival who would be chosen as the imperial concubine. However, due to the incident on the Qixi Festival, Huangfu Quan, under the advice of the Empress, issued the imperial edict ahead of schedule!
On the twelfth of August, the imperial edict was issued.
Liu Yan'er, the second daughter of the Grand Chancellor's Liu family, was selected and honored as the Crown Princess!
Miao Linglong, the legitimate daughter of Duke An, was bestowed the title of the Crown Prince's side concubine!
This was groundbreaking news!
At that time, Liu Shimei was in the Fusheng Pavilion, having just finished examining a patient. She was about to return to her consultation room to see what her silly dog was up to when she came from the gynecology area.
