Chapter 477: Do what you think is correct
"What do you mean by that each of them has an influential background?" Liu Hui Ying stared at her ghosts, speechless by their reactions as they told her they couldn't sort out the women participating in the flower selection ceremony.
Li Gang rolled his eyes as he picked up the portraits and then started explaining, " It is as we just said, this woman surnamed Cao? She is the daughter of a Yamen official and her father is a second-grade official, very important.
Next, this woman surnamed Shi is related to the Ji family, I don't think we can skip her and then this woman surnamed Xin is related to your family... I don't think we can skip her." With that he went on and on explaining how every woman was related to the imperial court's official causing Liu Hui Ying to simply stare at him.
"It's not something that we can decide by doing a background check on them," Jia Li wisely remarked from the sidelines as she placed the portrait of a woman down on the table behind which Liu Hui Ying was sitting.
" This has something to do with the current power balance in the imperial court as well as the harem." She paused and then added, " And we have no idea about the balance in the harem or the imperial court as we have never paid attention to it."
Liu Hui Ying was more inclined to leave this place than taking control of the harem. Thus, neither the ghosts knew about the situation in the harem nor did they know what kind of woman should they be choosing as the next concubine.
Liu Hui Ying was in the same situation as she did not understand the power game in the imperial harem because both the Ji and Liu families were going against one another, she knew that one of the families would be offended if she misbalanced the harmony which existed within the court.
" I can't kick her out and I can't kick her out either," Liu Hui Ying picked two portraits in one hand each before glancing at them and then placing them back on the surface of the table with a loud thud. " That old hag really pulled a number on me, did she not?"
Now Liu Hui Ying knew that the Grand Dowager Empress did this to piss her off, that woman took out those who could be taken out easily and without consideration while leaving her to do the hardest part.
Nanny Gong simply stared at the portraits and then placed them down along with the tea before turning to look at Liu Hui Ying who was smiling at her and then said politely, " Your majesty, how can this small servant do a job so important? I am sure as wise as you are...you will definitely make the correct decision, so..." she clenched her fists and looked at Liu Hui Ying with a smile.
" Just hold on and do what you think is right."
With that, she turned on her heels and then turned around to walk out of the study room.
" Nanny Gong!?"
" Nanny Gong!!!"
Liu Hui Ying shouted after the elderly woman but the latter only increased her pace of walking out of the study with the front of her dress clutched tightly in her hands.
" Hah?" Liu Hui Ying stood up from her chair and then walked out from behind the table only to see Nanny Gong's vanishing back as she hurried out of the room entirely. A nerve twitched in Liu Hui Ying's forehead as she screamed, " You have to be kidding me!"
