"Your Majesty."

Lin Chunhuan put one hand on the back of Xiao Cen's hand, easily suppressing his rising anger, "The prince really didn't do anything to me. What matters now is the prince's selection of a concubine. You are the person in charge, so don't go too late."

"Let's get going first."

Looking at Xiao Jinan's fiery eyes, Lin Chunhuan smiled indifferently and ignored it completely, but shrank his body. In the eyes of the taller Xiao Cen, that look was blatant fear.

"Xiao Jinan, you are so rebellious and yet your mother still pleads for you. If I were you, I would at least put away the resentment in my eyes and behave obediently at this moment."

Xiao Cen’s words made Xiao Jin’an freeze.

Then he lowered his head to cover up all the inappropriate gazes.

Sure enough, whether in the last life or now, Xiao Jinan's fear of Xiao Cen is simply engraved in his bones and he can't get rid of it easily.

In response, Lin Chunhuan just watched coldly.

Even though she didn't know what happened to Xiao Jinan later or why he appeared here, a person like him would never achieve anything great in the future.

"Ah Huan, let's go." Xiao Cen took Lin Chunhuan's delicate little hand and held it in his palm. "Although the emperor asked me to be the person in charge this time, I am a man after all, and I don't understand the matter of selecting concubines."

"I can still rely on you then."

Lin Chunhuan was actually a little nervous about this. In her previous life, she had never experienced any big scenes, let alone being in charge of such a big event. In this life, except for the wedding day, Xiao Cen had never taken her to meet many people.

Lin Chunhuan is aware of his own abilities.

Just as she was about to say no, Dong Ling'er came forward with a cloak and put it on her softly, tying the straps deftly in her hands. "If the princess is afraid of hard work, can you let me accompany you?"

Dong Ling'er blinked.

When he saw her, Lin Chunhuan felt relieved.

Although Dong Ling'er has not yet become the most powerful businessman in Yun Country in this life, he still has the vision and knowledge he had before his property was confiscated.

With her around, at least nothing big will happen.

Xiao Cen didn't care about it, and looked like she would leave it all to Lin Chunhuan. Seeing this, she stopped being timid and just nodded to Dong Ling'er, "Okay, you can go with me this time."

The prince's selection of a concubine was naturally a grand event.

Of course, the so-called selection of concubines was just a formality. The positions of the Crown Princess and the Crown Princess had already been decided. The rest of the people could only strive for positions like Liang Di/Liang Yuan at most.

As for Cheng Hui/Zhao Xun and the like, they were a means for the prince to win over local officials. There were many women who, even if they entered the Eastern Palace, might never see the prince in their entire lives.

As for Fengyi, who was of a lower status, she was also the prince's woman, but to put it bluntly, she was just a maid in the Eastern Palace, and the kind of maid who could be pulled onto the bed at any time.

A decent palace maid could be released from the palace at the age of 25 and live the life of an ordinary citizen.

Relying on the rewards from the nobles in the palace and one's own savings, one is not that rich, but one can always live a safe and smooth life, so there is still hope.

But these dozens of Fengyi did not have this opportunity.

They will be the prince's women all their lives. If the prince ascends the throne, they will be lucky enough to be favored a few times and then become the prince's real master with beautiful women and talents when the six palaces are conferred.

For those who are unlucky, Baolin Cainu will be their destination for the rest of their lives.

Lin Chunhuan didn’t understand this before. She always felt that there was nothing wrong with entering the palace as a concubine. Even if she was not favored and could never see that man again in her life, so what? She could just live her own life behind closed doors.

But life in the Rose Garden made her understand a lot.

Although Xiao Jinan did not treat her harshly on purpose at that time, even if it was just like that, it would still arouse Qingcheng's jealousy. In Qiangyuan, no one dared to disobey Qingcheng's words.

Therefore, she had no charcoal fire in the winter, and the leftovers she ate in the summer became sour and smelly.

She will never be able to walk out of the door of that small courtyard in her life. She has no favor, no background, and even no money. Perhaps there are kind people in the rose garden.

But good people also need to survive, and no one bought her vegetable seeds.

No one would hand her a book.

The first year was fine. She looked forward to it day and night, thinking that life was still passable. But as time went on like this, people would gradually collapse and go crazy in the absolute silence.

Although I don’t want to admit it.

But on the day when Qingcheng slandered her for having an affair with the groom, she felt somewhat relieved. Lin Chunhuan breathed steadily and looked at the crowd outside the hall, which was almost bustling, with no ripples in her eyes.

She was happy because someone finally talked to her.

She is the Crown Prince's Consort!

Just because they were not favored, they had such a hard life. However, those concubines could never cross the palace walls that were like a chasm in their entire lives, and even death was a luxury.

Suicide by a concubine was a serious crime punishable by the execution of three generations of her clan. How tragic it was.

How ridiculous.

"Your Majesty, do you really want me to choose a concubine for the Crown Prince? Isn't this inappropriate?" Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips, "If I don't choose well..."

"No problem."

Xiao Cen smiled gently and said, "The portraits you have are all people the prince wants to win over. Their identities are all similar. Just pick the ones you like. It doesn't matter who you choose."

Looking at Xiao Cen's smiling eyes, Lin Chunhuan was touched and immediately lowered his head to look at the portrait in his hand.

Sure enough, I saw Lin Chunuan’s face in it!

"Your Majesty...this..."

Lin Chunhuan looked up hurriedly.

Except for the prince's one principal wife and one concubine, Xiao Cen delegated power to her in all other positions.

Now Lin Chu Nuan's portrait is among them. To put it simply, whether she will enter the Eastern Palace or be eliminated, and whether she will be a concubine or a concubine, it is almost up to her alone to decide!

Although it would be better if Xiao Cen also stamped it before it would be valid.

But would Xiao Cen refute her decision? Especially when that person was Lin Chu Nuan!

Xiao Cen smiled, "The prince came to me after the last incident. This time, it is his apology to you, Aunt Wang."

"Don't be nervous, Huan. Just do what you want."

Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips and stared at Xiao Cen who was in the upper position for a long time. Finally, she slowly withdrew her gaze, although her first reaction was indeed rejection.

But if you think about it carefully, it is unnecessary.

The prince asked her to make the decision, but in fact he was just testing her attitude.

If Lin Chu Nuan were to become a Liang Di, she would be the concubine with the most noble status in the Eastern Palace besides the Crown Princess and the concubines. Even if she was not favored during the reign of the Emperor, she would at least be a concubine and be worthy of being the head of a palace!

If she had another child, she might even be able to become one of the four concubines.
