You were the last concubine for the emperor as he already have six concubines including you. In the palace, the concubines were ranked based on how the emperor's viewing you.

Since you were the last one that become his concubine, you were in ranked six, the lowest ranking concubine and Alice was the highest ranking. Since the emperor still young and attractive... well, of course he thinks he need to have many concubines around his fingers.

And not to complain, every women no matter what status in the kingdom would swoon over him and since he's still young, it make sense that he needs to start producing heirs and which is why he needs to choose a wife and that means, with six concubines he has, he needs to choose one out of six.

On one fine morning where he gather all of his concubines including you to the great hall, you already know what is the reason. All the concubines except for you, wearing tons of make up and dress beautifully so that the Emperor LanShi would choose one of you as his wife and you know you will have the chance to become his wife as Alice the highest will be choose by him.

He stands up and starts walking towards the concubine and you starts to get ready to leave when he choose Alice but you didn't notice that he launched his index finger outwards and lift your chin to make you look at him so your eyes staring at him.

“I choose... you to become my wife.” as he told to the guards to dismissed the other concubines and just leave the two of you in the great hall.
