It can be said that the attire and jewelry of female officials are even better than those of some low-ranking concubines, so becoming a female official is not something that can be done easily.
In this world, there are many women who do not wish to become concubines of the Emperor, but the selection process is unavoidable. Some women with excellent looks might be chosen by the Emperor, so those who don't want to become concubines will participate in the examination to become female officials.
The examination for female officials is extremely strict because they are to serve either the Princess or concubines of Second Rank or above, whose identities are highly esteemed. Unlike palace maids and eunuchs who only need to attend to people, female officials are expected to keep company with concubines or princesses, providing them with interlocution and enlightenment.
