The black-bellied highness, the evil concubine

Chapter 134 Selection

Eight years have passed, during these eight years, Murong Yi had imagined countless times that he and his sister would meet again, but each time, there was only endless disappointment left.

This time, I just hope that I will not be disappointed again.

Similarly, he was also aware of Zhuge Jingyao's pain of waiting, and he didn't want Zhuge Jingyao to know about it before he fully confirmed it. After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Wen Ran, Wen Ran, I only hope that you are her.

If not, it would be difficult for Murong Yi to explain why when he saw her, it was as if he saw his own sister. That feeling cannot be deceived.

However, if it is true, it has only been eight years, even if there are eighteen changes, why is her true appearance so different from that of her younger sister?

Thinking about the appearance of my younger sister back then, and then corresponding to Wen Ran's face, the two seem to have nothing in common, except for that pair of equally beautiful eyes.

When Xiao Qi was young, she was a little fat, her face was always fleshy, no matter how much she didn't eat, no matter how much she ran around, she didn't lose a single bit of weight.

However, Murong Yi and Zhuge Jingyao just like this little 'meatball' who will follow them everywhere at any time, especially Zhuge Jingyao likes to pinch her little face every now and then, but every time he pinches her gently, as long as he pinches her After finishing this fleshy little face, His Royal Highness will be in a very good mood, even if he has just been reprimanded by His Majesty or the Queen, he will be very happy again.

Back then, the falsely named 'Prince' who had no rights suffered in the palace beyond the imagination of outsiders. After General Murong's family returned from the border, his treatment was slightly better than before. Miss Murong followed him every day, how could everyone dare to bully this highness.

Zhuge Jingyao knew that the little guy who couldn't even walk steadily at the beginning really liked to follow him. She was pure and innocent, and only had him in her eyes. No one else could compare her kindness to him.

Murong Yi suddenly thought, if his sister could lose weight, would she be more similar to Wen Ran?
Tomorrow is December [-]th, it's time to make a deal with that person.

On December [-]th, in the Yuhua Palace in the palace, hundreds of beauties were already well-dressed, waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince to arrive.

Among these hundreds of people, no matter they are generous and decent, or they are Xiaojiabiyu, or they are all beautiful.

Last time when King Xuan was choosing a concubine, the Empress Dowager and Concubine De were present, and the Empress Dowager also took a lot of trouble, but this time it was the Crown Prince's turn to choose a concubine, the Empress Dowager did not ask any more questions, the main reason was that she was not close to the Prince It's because this time the queen still has the full power to control it. If she came to intervene, it would be really bad.

The queen had already taken her seat early, and Concubine Li brought Concubine De to join in the fun. Seeing Qi Junfei smiling all over her face, the queen always felt that she was planning something in her heart.

"The emperor is here!" There was a sound, His Royal Highness, the protagonist, hadn't come yet, but he didn't expect to welcome His Majesty.

His Majesty's presence in person shows that he attaches great importance to the selection of concubines by the crown prince.

"The concubine sees the emperor!" One queen and two concubines got up at the same time and saluted Zhuge Yuan.

Zhuge Yuan dismissed the ceremony with a wave of his hand, then sat down in the upper seat, and asked the queen, "The crown prince has not come yet?"

Han Qingshui nodded and said, "The emperor should be coming soon."

Sure enough, the emperor was the most eccentric, Concubine Li smiled and said: "Sister, it's better to send someone to urge you, it's not good to miss the time to choose the crown princess!"

"Sister Lao is concerned, the prince has always been measured, he must be coming soon!" Han Qingshui smiled gently.

The eyes of the two women sparkled, and their smiles were full of fighting.

Among them, Concubine De seemed more gentle and gentle.

The moment the queen finished speaking, Zhuge Jingyao entered the palace, and Zhuge Jingren and Wei Qing also came together.

As soon as the two of them appeared, the girls who had lowered their heads turned their heads slightly, wanting to take a look, but they couldn't be too blatant, and His Royal Highness walked so fast that they couldn't see clearly at all.

After Zhuge Jingyao and the others saluted Zhuge Yuan and the others, they took their seats.

Wen Ran, who had already returned from Murong Mansion, stood coldly behind His Royal Highness, looking at the dense crowd of people in front of him, Wen Ran couldn't help but feel a headache for His Highness.

Does Your Highness really want to choose?

But even though there are so many school-age girls here, among them Murong Yue and Leng Qianxue are the most eye-catching. Both of them are superior to the rest of them in terms of temperament and appearance, so they are naturally outstanding.

Compared to Murong Yue, the Empress prefers Leng Qianxue or Yu Qianqian. If she wins Murong Yue, she will be able to win the Beitang Mansion, and the power left by the Murong family, so the future status of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be shaken.And Leng Qianxue is just a miracle doctor, even if she has high abilities and no power, how can she help the prince?

As for Yu Qianqian, her grandfather is highly respected, but apart from his grandfather, there are no other powerful figures in the Yu family, and now they are almost the same as ordinary small families.

Zhuge Yuan was also quite conflicted in his heart at this time. First of all, he was inclined towards Yu Qianqian. The teacher's granddaughter was well-behaved and lovely. Needless to say, she was virtuous, and the prince should have such a woman by his side to take care of him.

But Murong Yue, after all, is the only blood left by the Murong family, and she is also Beitang Hu's righteous sister, so the value of marrying her seems to be higher.

There are also a few other women who are not outstanding, but their family backgrounds are not bad, and they are also good.

It was rare that the prince finally agreed to choose the princess concubine, Zhuge Yuan imagined that he shouldn't have so many demands, as long as he liked it, no matter who it was, Zhuge Yuan could agree to it.

"His Royal Highness, can we start?" the eunuch in charge asked the prince respectfully.

Zhuge Jingyao nodded.

This item is naturally beautiful.

Of course, His Highness the Crown Prince can't see so many people, so King Xuan and Lord Wei Xiaohou are here to serve His Highness the Crown Prince.

King Xuan's speed was extremely fast, as soon as this person came up, the pen in his hand had already been drawn.

Lord Wei Xiaohou was a little slower, and often had to stare at it for a long time. He didn't know the aesthetics of His Royal Highness, and after thinking about it, the superior candidate he selected was a bit unexpected.

In the end, according to the two of them, there were 39 upper-class people, 43 upper-middle class people, and the rest of the middle-class and lower-middle class people were all eliminated.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the second culinary competition.

The remaining 82 people have to cook two dishes within half an hour within the time limit, the good ones will be kept, and the bad ones will naturally miss the competition for the third item.

The 82 people rushed to the imperial dining room. Although they had learned a lot of cooking skills, most of them were still a little flustered when they arrived at this scene. Cheating is possible.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drank tea leisurely, not in a hurry at all.

"Brother Huang, you seem to like drinking tea more and more recently?" King Xuan also whispered to His Highness the Crown Prince when he was free.

According to His Highness the Crown Prince's temperament in the past, even in such an occasion, he is still very likely to directly hold the wine glass. Now King Xuan really rarely sees him drinking, and even drinking with his family has become very rare up.

Zhuge Jingyao took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "If you are used to drinking nineteen-brewed tea every day, then maybe you will forget the joy of drinking too!"

"Then it seems that I will go to your house to drink nineteen cups of tea in the future!" Zhuge Jingren said with a smile.

Wen Ran stood behind the two, her expression unchanged.

Half an hour has passed, and the 82 beauties have already brought the results of their hard work, but not everyone's results are exquisite and delicious.

As soon as Zhuge Jingyao stretched out his hand, Nineteen had no choice but to stand up.

The people responsible for the second item are Lan Nineteen and Wei Xiaohou Ye.

As for eating, Wei Xiaohou is of course more willing to serve. Compared with the first round, this round, he is obviously more handy.

Nineteenth went up, glanced at the dishes on the first table, turned around and left.

"Lord Lan, are the things I cook so ugly that you don't even move your chopsticks?" That person is King Yu, the granddaughter of Zhuge Yuan's uncle, whose status is considered noble. It's because I can't hold my breath.

Wen Ran turned back and said indifferently: "Don't you even know that His Highness doesn't eat meat?"

Lan Nineteen is a first-rank official, even if King Yu is here, he has to be courteous, not to mention that the girl in front of him is just his granddaughter, Lan Nineteen's tone is enough to give her face.

This person is really ridiculous, even if he came to run for the crown princess, he should inquire about the prince's preferences, but he doesn't even know the fact that the prince is a vegetarian, so he has the nerve to stand here?
The girl's face changed instantly, full of disappointment, because she herself was too careless.

Under the double strict selection of Lan Nineteen and Wei Xiaohou, in the end, among the 82 people, only 21 people were raised.

Among the 21 people, Murong Yue, Leng Qianxue, and Yu Qianqian were still among them.

It seems that the three of them really prepared carefully.

Everyone was very curious, among these three people, who could make the crown prince favor him?

These three items are compared to planting flowers.

There are three large flower pots in front of everyone, two small flower pots, a basket of soil, and ten flower seedlings. If they want to plant these ten flower seedlings with their own hands, one of them will be planted. can not be less.

These ten flower seedlings seem to be similar, but they are of different varieties and sizes. It is not just random planting, you have to think carefully.

Those daughters of gold, each of them filled the mud with their own hands, and some of them frowned tightly, looking at their hands full of mud, there was no word of enjoyment in their expressions.

The three with the most conflicted expressions were directly disqualified by the crown prince.

Murong Yue and Yu Qianqian are calm and elegant flower growers, and they can't see any flaws.

Leng Qianxue, on the other hand, really enjoyed this moment very much, and her smiling face was even more brilliant and beautiful, which made many people admire it in their hearts.

Wen Ran didn't look at them, but unconsciously looked at Zhuge Jingyao, as if wondering who he would choose?
