The black-bellied highness, the evil concubine

Chapter 128: It's Dec. 1 ([-])
After being the crown prince for so many years, Wen Ran would be surprised if it was said that Zhuge Jingyao didn't have the heart of an emperor.

"Your Highness, are you serious?"

Zhuge Jingyao raised his eyes, looked at Wen Ran, and said with a light smile, "Of course I lied to you, even if you are an emperor, are you stupid to be the prince?"

How could he surrender the country that was defended with the blood of the Murong family like that?
Even though he said so, Wen Ran always felt that what he said just now was not a joke, but His Royal Highness is so smart, how could he give up this easy-to-get country?

"Nineteen, you seem to be shrewd, but you are always so naive!" Zhuge Jingyao said this sentence to Wen Ran suddenly, then turned and left.

Innocent?

When I was young, my elder brother said that she was too thoughtful, and instead she lost some of the innocence that a child should have.

In front of her master and senior brothers and sisters, she has always been calm and sensible. Everyone would only praise her for being cute, but never said these two words to her.

This is the first time someone used these two words to describe her, Wen Ran felt very surprised.

What did Zhuge Jingyao mean by these words?
It was really hot summer when it first came, but now, autumn has passed and winter is coming, and it is already December in a blink of an eye.

All kinds of rumors that were unfavorable to the empress and the prince in the imperial capital have long since dissipated, and no one dared to mention them again, but there are some things that, even though they are not mentioned in words, are still firmly in mind.

On the third day of December, the emperor finally persuaded His Royal Highness to choose the princess.

It's just that His Royal Highness has three requirements, one is to be beautiful, the other is to cook delicious food, and the third requirement is to be able to grow flowers.

As soon as these three conditions were fulfilled, all the women in the imperial capital were even crazier than when King Xuan was choosing his concubine. The high-quality rouge gouache from Yanzhizhai was sold out in an instant, as well as the restaurants with the best taste in the city. All the chefs were invited to Fuchu as professors.

Every flower farmer in every household is like a guest these days, and everyone is quite respectful to them.

Those who have daughters or nieces of suitable ages in their families should not pay more attention to this matter.

Apart from these three conditions, the crown prince has no other requirements.

No matter whether you are from a poor family or a daughter of the grass and lakes, as long as you can catch Zhuge Jingyao's eyes, the crown princess is yours.

Of course, His Majesty still added one more condition, that is, the age of the candidate must be between 15 and 19 years old.

In one day, there were no less than a hundred people who signed up for the election of the crown princess.

The prince is the future emperor, which woman doesn't want the position of the future queen?

Even if you don't know enough, you have to try it once.

The registration period is only three days.

From the morning of the third day of December to the dusk of the sixth day of December, a total of 370 seven people signed up for the election, and almost all the women of the right age in Xianling City who had not left the cabinet were included in this roster.

"I didn't even know there were so many daughters-in-law in Xianling City!"

One of the civil servants in charge of the registration couldn't help sighing as he looked at the densely packed names on the roster.

Another civil servant said with a smile: "There are already so many people in Xianling City alone. If you add those selected from various places, it seems that His Highness the Crown Prince will be picky."

"His Royal Highness is so blessed!" Everyone said enviously.

It was almost time, and they were about to pack up their things and hand over the roster to their supervisor.
