What jiejie? What meimei? Part II

Bai Yu could roughly remember Ouyang Feilong’s thirty-two consorts’ names. They were all promoted from second consorts and concubines to royal consorts. Out of all of them, only two-second consorts became high-ranking consorts: Zhao Ninghua, who was Gui Fei, and Mu Qilin, who was De Fei.

Three were promoted from concubines to Pin level consorts due to their families’ standings. The rest twenty-seven were ranked as Jie Yu, Mei Ren, and Cai Ren, with nine people of each title filling the maximum limit.

Bai Yu was not too well-versed in the ranks and titles within the inner court. Still, she knew enough to be amused by Ouyang Feilong’s assignment. If his two-second consorts were not bestowed with a marriage by the emperor, then they would never be consorts ranked as Fei. As for Pin level, consorts would have to thank their fathers who served in Ouyang Feilong’s army. And the rest of the twenty-seven women seemed to be haphazardly put into the available slots.
