CHAPTER 486 (2): PERSONALLY RECEIVE
The soldier at the lead immediately knelt with one knee as he deferentially bowed, “Paying respects to Prince Hao. This subordinate will report to His Majesty.”
Only when he heard a soft affirmative from within the carriage did the soldier dare to stand up and run towards the imperial palace.

Inside the Golden Throne Room, Ning Lianchen was seated on the Dragon Throne while dressed in his Dragon Robes[1] and gazing at the officials kneeling in the hall.
The officials had submitted a memorial for the Imperial Beauty Selection to proceed right away. In it, they had also requested for the daughter of the Chief Minister of War to enter the palace again. Not only that, they had also requested for Imperial Physician Fang’s daughter to enter the Female Selection Palace as well.
After selecting eight daughters from the officials to fill the imperial harem, they would choose two more women from among the commoners to pacify the civilians.
Ning Lianchen’s eyes were cold as he slapped his right hand against the armrest of the Dragon Throne, abruptly standing up. “Are all of you threatening this Emperor?”
Emperor Father began taking in women into the imperial harem when he was 15; made love to his first woman when he was 16; had his first child when he was 17; appointed an empress when he was 18; and had his first child die when he was 19. The same has been true for every past emperor of Nanzhao; they follow the rules and regulations.
But I don’t want to be forced to do things!
The officials lowered their head and unanimously chorused, “This humble subject doesn’t dare to, may Your Majesty reconsider.”
Ning Lianchen softly chuckled. “This Emperor insists on not doing what you want; we’ll discuss the matter of filling the imperial harem next time! If anyone still stubbornly wants to submit a memorial, he will be executed on the spot!” His voice was icy cold and firm.
The officials received a massive shock, with many of them quickly exchanging glances with one another. A moment later, the Chief Minister of War took the lead in stepping forth and bowed. “The Ning Imperial Family has hardly any descendants, and Your Majesty is the only one left after the Eldest Imperial Princess passed away during the tumultuous wartimes. By filling the imperial harem, we can bring a celebratory atmosphere to Nanzhao, as well as stabilise the court. After Prince Yun passed away, many generals and soldiers under him refuse to submit to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty reconsider.”
With the Chief Minister of War leading, the other officials concurred. “May Your Majesty reconsider!”
