"So, the emperor usually chooses his concubines from official families?"
"That's been the case throughout history." Ye Zi'an put down the towel, sat next to the bed, and explained, "That kind of large-scale selection occurred once or twice in the previous dynasty, but that was for selecting palace maids."
Yang Chuxia tilted her head and said, "According to you, being an official doesn't seem to be that great. If you pass the Advanced Scholar exam and become an official in the future, isn't our daughter in danger? Having to participate in those beauty contests? What if it happens to coincide with the selection period? That would be terrible luck."
"Haha..." Ye Zi'an was momentarily stunned at first, then burst into laughter.
"What's so funny?"
"My dear, aren't you worrying about something too far in the future?" Zi'an laughed. "Before worrying about the selection, shouldn't we first have a daughter?"
