Jun Linzhao went to the queen's palace without changing into his smart clothes. When he arrived, he saw his father, the emperor, and his mother talking together. The atmosphere was harmonious, and the two looked very affectionate.

His father, the queen, and his mother have always had a good relationship, so this kind of heartwarming scene is normal in his eyes.

Entering the hall, Jun Linzhao immediately walked towards them.

Walking forward, he bowed and saluted.

"My son, I would like to send my regards to my father, the emperor and my queen."

Seeing her son coming, Jiang Xianyun stretched out her hand, and she took her son's hand. "Zhao'er is here. Looking at the sweat on your forehead, are you going to the martial arts training ground again?"

Jun Linzhao smiled and nodded slightly. "Yes, Queen Mother. I haven't practiced riding and shooting for a few days. I just practice casually. Father, Queen Mother, do you have anything to discuss?"

Jiang Xianyun nodded slightly: "Yes, your father and I just want to ask you what you think about your marriage. You should know that as the crown prince, you should decide on the crown prince as early as possible. The minister of the DPRK proposed to let you It’s not just once or twice that I choose a concubine.”

"Can Zhao'er be the girl he likes?"

Jun Linzhao shook his head. He had always focused on his studies and state affairs, so he had no time to see any girl. "My mother, the queen, and my son, I don't have a favorite girl. I don't have any objections to the selection of the crown princess."

He said and looked at his mother. "It's up to you, Queen Mother, to take care of this kind of thing. I believe that the Crown Princess Queen Mother has chosen for me will definitely be good."

She was very happy to be trusted by her son so much.

"The queen mother can give you a choice, but in the end it has to be based on your own wishes. After all, you are not living with the queen mother, your wife is living with you, and it must be what you want. You tell the queen mother what kind of marriage you want. The Crown Princess? The Queen Mother can arrange it for you."

What kind of man does he want to marry?

Jun Linzhao thought for a while and said: "You are both good-looking, gentle and virtuous, neither arrogant nor impetuous. It would be better if you are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and know the art of war. The lonely princess must be smart, and not do such trivial things. You will cry and cry to your death, you cannot take the lead when things happen." He was telling the truth. The Crown Princess, who will be the Queen after he succeeds to the throne, has no ability, how can she take up this position.

For example, when foreigners came, his princess was so timid that she couldn't even speak clearly. A country that is obviously strong will be seen as weak in the eyes of others, which is detrimental to the development of the country.

Jiang Xianyun also understood.

Beautiful-looking, dignified and dignified, and able to take matters into his own hands. Her son is indeed a qualified prince. She nodded slightly, "Okay, I understand what you mean. The Queen Mother will choose a suitable candidate for the Crown Princess for you according to what you said. Then you can choose the one you like from these people. What do you think?"

Jun Linzhao's face turned hot. He slightly cupped his hands and said softly, "It's all up to the queen." Before that, he actually didn't care much about his marriage. After all, as long as he could be as gentle and virtuous as his mother, that's all. However, now I am actually looking forward to it.

His father's harem only had her mother and no other concubines. His father and mother had a good relationship, and having been influenced by them since childhood, Jun Linzhao actually felt that such a life was quite good. He doesn't want to marry so many concubines in the future. If his backyard becomes a mess in the future, it would be terrible to think about the scene.

In the words of the Queen Mother, where there are women, there is war. Even if the wife is generous enough, who would want her husband to go to another woman's room? Unless the wife is thinking about another man and doesn't care at all, there will definitely be conflicts.

For example, in the past dynasties, those emperors married so many concubines and gave birth to so many children. In fact, most of them died before they grew up, and a few of them finally grew up safely. The reason for this was what her mother called the palace fight.

If you have children in the future, you can't sacrifice them in some palace battle. Therefore, in his own opinion, he wants to live with someone he likes. Just like the father and the queen, that's fine.

In this way, the matter of choosing a concubine for the prince was put on the agenda. The emperor personally issued a decree for the prince to select a concubine. Whether they were officials working abroad or serving in Beijing, all those with unmarried girls between the ages of fourteen and eighteen in their families were required to participate in the election. As for those who are already engaged but not yet married, they cannot run for election.

As soon as the imperial edict came out, the whole Yunjing suddenly became lively. If you become a princess, you may become a queen in the future. His Royal Highness is talented in both civil and military affairs and handsome, so of course they are willing to marry him.

No, in order to become the Crown Princess, many people are ready to show off their talents. Even those who have always hidden their secrets and clumsiness don't plan to hide it this time.

There are many people running for election, but there is only one person for the position of Crown Princess. Those who think there is hope will definitely want to fight for it. There are also many people who feel that they have no hope. Although they participated, they have no hope at all. They are just going to go through the motions and stand in front of everyone.

Everyone probably has an idea of ​​who will be selected. After all, they have heard about which girls are outstanding.

Most of the girls participating in the election this time are legitimate daughters from various aristocratic families. Those who let concubines run for election were because the legitimate daughters in the family were already married, or there were no concubines.

There are three rounds for the crown prince to select his concubine, and most of the candidates will be rejected in each round. Until the final fifty selected, ten will be selected by the queen. In the end, the one who received flowers from the prince was the princess.

The prince's selection of concubines is similar to the emperor's selection of concubines. Those selected will be examined by the nuns in the palace. Not only that, there should be no birthmarks on the body, and one needs to be truly fair-skinned, beautiful, with a slim waist and wide buttocks. The most important point is that the imperial physician must be healthy and free of any disease when diagnosing the pulse.

The previous ones were all the normal procedures for selecting a concubine, except for the last one, which required good health and a pulse check by an imperial doctor, which was required by the prince.

Now that he has made a choice, he must choose to be in good health. He does not want his future princess to be sick, and wind and rain can kill half of her life. If you are too weak, it will be very dangerous if you have children in the future. Instead of waiting until then, you should avoid this situation from happening in the first place.

After more than ten days of careful selection, only thirty people were left. The fifty people were originally designated, but because there were imperial doctors in charge, those with weaker bodies were eliminated. On the contrary, several daughters of military generals' families, although not particularly outstanding in appearance, were deliberately kept because of their extremely good health.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked for the selection of a healthy one, so those responsible for selecting the concubine were inevitably overthinking.
