Prince of Chaos

Chapter 197 Draft
In the palace garden, the throne of Emperor Wanli is placed in the middle, the phoenix chair of Empress Dowager Li is above the seat of Emperor Wanli, and the seat of Empress Wang is next to Emperor Wanli.

A big colorful shed was set up at the place in front of them. At this time, fifty beautiful women who filed in were waiting to be summoned at the Shunzhen Gate.

Sun Xian looked at the venue that was almost prepared, and then glanced at the hourglass. The time was almost up.

Sun Xian first asked Emperor Wanli and Queen Mother Li for an order.

"Queen, it's almost time for the emperor."

Emperor Wanli said to Empress Dowager Li: "Mother, you can start."

Empress Dowager Li replied: "The emperor decides."

Then, Emperor Wanli said to Sun Xian: "Let's get started."

After receiving the order from Emperor Wanli, Sun Xian immediately shouted to the people outside: "The emperor has a decree, to announce that the crown prince Xiunu will have an audience."

After hearing Sun Xian's voice, the beautiful girls standing at the Shunzhen Gate couldn't help but get nervous.

The fateful moment has finally arrived.

All the show girls could not help but straighten their bodies, waiting for the final interview.

At this time, an eunuch holding a roster came to Shunzhen Gate. He opened the book in his hand and began to call names in order.

"Liu Yingying, daughter of the Liu family of Huaiqing Prefecture in Henan Province, Guilan, queen of the Wang family of Jinan Prefecture in Shandong Province, Qian Qiaoqiao, daughter of the Qian family family in Jiaxing Prefecture of Zhejiang Province, Sun Lanfang, daughter of the Sun family of Hejian Prefecture in Beizhili Province, and Li Shuxiu, daughter of the Li family family in Baoding Prefecture of Beizhili Prefecture. .”

The rule of "selecting three" this time is to interview five beautiful women at one time. These five beautiful women will be lined up in front of Emperor Wanli and Empress Dowager Li, and then Emperor Wanli and Empress Dowager Li will check or ask some questions. question.

Finally, after interviewing the fifty beautiful girls, Emperor Wanli and Empress Dowager Li will choose their three favorites among the fifty beautiful girls.

Looking at the wave after wave of show girls being called in, Shangguan Lanxin, who was standing in the show girl team, was nervous and apprehensive at the moment, worrying that she would not be selected, and worrying that she might be selected.

Before entering the palace, her father, Shangguanbao, had high hopes for her, hoping that his virtuous, virtuous and beautiful daughter would earn him a big face back.

Therefore, under such pressure, the 15-year-old Shangguan Lanxin was actually very nervous. She was afraid that she would fail her father's expectations of her, and she was also afraid that she would not perform well and offend the nobles in the palace.

During this time, she has been carefully waiting for today in the palace.Seeing that it was finally her turn, Shangguan Lan felt so nervous that her legs were almost out of control.

In the palace garden, Emperor Wanli and Empress Dowager Li were chatting and laughing about the situation of beautiful women, and Queen Wang also looked at these young and beautiful beautiful women with a smile on her face.

"Emperor, do you have any favorites for these beautiful girls?"

Empress Dowager Li asked Emperor Wanli while looking at the picture scroll information in her hand.

After Emperor Wanli heard Queen Mother Li's question, he took a sip of the fairy happy water and said with a smile: "My son thinks everything is pretty good. Which girl does the queen mother take a fancy to?"

Empress Dowager Li smiled and said: "Aijia's eyes are blurred. I don't know how I survived. Looking at these beautiful girls, Aijia remembered the situation when he entered the palace. These beautiful girls How young they are."

Emperor Wanli said with a smile: "My mother, you are serious. You are not old at all now."

Empress Dowager Li said: "There is no one who is not old. In the fifth year of Wanli, when the Ai family chose you, you were only a child of thirteen or fourteen. Now your prince is so old in a blink of an eye. I have chosen a concubine. The Ai family will naturally grow old."

Emperor Wanli replied: "My mother, you will live forever, don't be afraid."

Empress Dowager Li looked at the chubby Emperor Wanli, she smiled and said: "Okay, okay, the Ai family will obey the emperor's will, and the emperor will not bother the Ai family when the time comes."

Emperor Wanli said with a smile: "How dare I, my son, I hope from the bottom of my heart that my mother will live forever."

While Emperor Wanli was chatting with Empress Dowager Li like this, Shangguan Lanxin finally stepped into the colorful shed in the palace garden.

The five beautiful women stood in a row and saluted the three people including Emperor Wanli Emperor Li, Empress Dowager Wang and Empress Dowager Wang.

"The courtiers see the emperor, empress dowager, empress empress."

Emperor Wanli looked at the five beautiful women who came in again, and said, "Let's get flat."

Then, the five show girls stood up nervously, with their heads slightly lowered.

Empress Dowager Li looked at the five graceful girls and said, "Raise your head."

The five beautiful girls answered softly: "Yes."

Then, each of them raised their heads gently.

Empress Dowager Li, Emperor Wanli and Empress Wang glanced at the five beautiful girls.

Empress Dowager Li immediately took a fancy to Shangguan Lanxin who was standing among the five people.

She looked at Shangguan Lanxin's timid and timid appearance, as if she had seen her original appearance all at once, and she couldn't help feeling fond of this beautiful girl in her heart.

Empress Dowager Li asked Shangguan Lanxin, "Where are you from?"

Shangguan Lanxin, who was still standing timidly, heard Queen Mother Li's voice, and she replied nervously: "Mr. Chenchen is from Zhending Mansion in Beizhili."

After hearing Shangguan Lanxin's answer, Empress Dowager Li said, "Okay, okay."

Then they didn't ask any questions, and then the five show girls left in order.

After Shangguan Lanxin's beautiful girls left, Emperor Wanli looked at Empress Dowager Li, and asked curiously, "Could it be that Empress Mother likes this Shangguan Lanxin?"

Empress Dowager Li said: "This child looks pleasing to Ai's family."

Hearing Queen Mother Li's comments, Emperor Wanli and Queen Wang secretly wrote down the name of Shangguan Lanxin.

Then continue to interview the show girl.

Finally, after nearly two hours of interviews, the interviews with fifty beautiful women were over.

Next, Emperor Wanli and Empress Dowager Li decided to select the final three crown princes and concubines.

Empress Dowager Li stopped the movements in her hands at this time, she looked at Queen Wang and asked: "Queen, which beautiful girl do you think is better?"

After hearing Queen Mother Li's question, Queen Wang got up and bowed to Queen Mother Li: "After returning to mother, I feel that everything is fine."

After hearing Queen Wang's answer, Empress Dowager Li laughed, "That's not possible. There is only one concubine of the crown prince, and they are all very good. How can I choose?"

Queen Wang said: "My son is dull, and his eyesight is not as good as that of my mother. Which girl do you think is suitable to be Chang Luo's main concubine?"

Empress Dowager Li could tell that the Empress Wang didn't intend to make a statement.So, Empress Dowager Li turned to Emperor Wanli and asked, "Which girl does the emperor think is suitable?"

Emperor Wanli was not as cautious as Wang and Empress. Emperor Wanli took a sip of the fairy happy water and said: "I do have a few of my favorites, but I don't know if my son's eyes are the same as those of my mother's."

Empress Dowager Li smiled and said, "So what if it's different? Could it be that the Ai family can still refute the emperor's face?"

Emperor Wanli chuckled: "Of course, the queen mother will not refute the minister. It's just that the matter of choosing a concubine for Chang Luo is more important, so the minister also wants to hear what the queen mother thinks."

Empress Dowager Li also heard the meaning of Emperor Wanli. Emperor Wanli has a fancy girl, but he will not express his opinion on who the concubine chooses.He is going to give Zhu Changluo the right to choose his concubine to Empress Dowager Li.

Empress Dowager Li also understood this meaning, so she was not hypocritical.

Empress Dowager Li cleared her throat and said, "The crown prince's concubine can't be sloppy, and she will be the empress of Daming's mother in the world. Therefore, the Ai family is very entangled. But no matter how entangled, Chang Luo can't stop marrying a wife. After all, Ai’s family is still waiting to embrace a great-grandson for four generations.”

Hearing what Queen Mother Li said, Emperor Wanli and Queen Wang both laughed.This makes sense.
