Bab 363: 171: Prince Rong slapped his mother's face

The Palace issued a decree that on the sixth day of the second month, all the eligible maidens would enter the Palace for selection and stay in the Merits Palace.

Su Xinyi knew about the Merits Palace. After she received the decree, the Grand Madam called her over and told her, "Your mother should have told you about this trip to the Palace. Seek not to achieve, but to have no errors. Do not stand out in any situation. We all hope you will come out of the Palace safe and sound."
