After being bound by the system, Bai Yueguang and I reunited

Night falls.

Chao Ge was lying on the soft couch, holding a piece of paper in his hand and a cup of tea beside him. The fragrance of tea was overflowing and refreshing.

Nan Shiqi knelt on the chair next to her, carefully checking the information she had collected from nowhere.

Chao Ge opened his palm and spread out a piece of rice paper, which was filled with dense words.

"This is the information about the princes of Qi State, including the other princes. My subordinates have sorted it out."

Nan Qi’s voice sounded.

"Ah."

Chaoge replied nonchalantly: "Just take a look."

She was done listening to those little things anyway.

"……Oh."

He laid out the rice paper and started browsing.

There are six princes in Qi State. Except for the prince, the remaining five are all concubines.

The prince's biological mother died young. Although he was favored by the emperor, in the past few years, most of Emperor Qi's thoughts were on his younger son.

Among them, the third prince, on the surface, seems to be a poor little boy who has no mother and no love from his father.

There is no title, no palace, and only a fourth-rank position in the household department above the court.

According to the etiquette system, when a prince goes to court, he should be of third rank or above.

Therefore, some officials sympathized with the third prince.

The fifth prince, the son of a noble concubine, had a strong mother's family background and was favored by the emperor.

He also strives for success, at least on the surface, there is nothing wrong with him.

The remaining six and nine princes, their biological mothers were of low status, and they themselves were not outstanding.

And the eleventh prince was too young, only four years old, and he had no ability to compete.

Judging from this situation, the only ones suitable for marriage are the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince.

"If the sixth prince and the ninth prince do not hide their strength, then the only people in Qi who are most likely to ascend to that position are the prince and the fifth prince."

Chaoge's attention was no longer here. Her eyes scanned the room inch by inch, searching for the wine flask hidden by the secret guard.

Nan Shiqi sighed softly.

"Your Highness, you have drank nearly five bottles of strong liquor today. You cannot drink any more."

"I asked you to analyze the situation in Qi. What are you talking about?" Chaoge suddenly turned cold and pretended to scold him.

Nan Shiqi calmly raised the piece of paper again, "Your Highness, give up, you won't find the wine."

"Hmph, who's secret guard is as presumptuous as you?" Chao Ge turned his head away, keeping out of sight.

If her consciousness wasn't too powerful for this small world to bear, she would have found it long ago.

Could she, the majestic Princess of Chaoge, be controlled by a little mortal named Nan Qi?

When he noticed that Chao Ge turned around, he closed his eyes uncontrollably and dug his nails into his palms.

After a long moment, he showed a wry smile.

Yes, no secret guard is like him.

You can walk on the road openly without being a shadow.

Not only do you have new clothes, you can even eat at the same table as your master.

In some small things, Chaoge always obeys him.

He was almost delusional.

In Chao Ge's eyes, he is special.

Because of this, he became increasingly unwilling.

****

The banquet was held in the Imperial Garden. On the surface, it was hosted by the imperial concubine, but in fact, it was ordered by Emperor Qi himself, so Chao Ge naturally wanted to go.

The scenery here is excellent, with flowers blooming and fragrant.

"Your Highness..." Nan Qi looked at Chao Ge hesitantly.

"Afraid that I will be bullied?" Chao Ge raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry, no one can bully me."

After saying that, she took the lead and stepped into the flowers. Not long after, she heard the sound of playing around.

The people gathered here are all the dignitaries and ladies of Qi State.

They were in groups, chatting with each other.

Many of them know Chaoge.

Because the scene of directly killing people at the palace banquet was really impressive.

Seeing Chao Ge coming, they all fell silent as if they had suddenly suffered from mute syndrome.

However, many female relatives are taking a peek at Chao Ge.

It is said that the emperor has already decided which prince he will marry Princess Chaoge to. Although there is no imperial decree for marriage, the emperor's intention is already very obvious.

"I heard from my brother last night that His Majesty favors the third prince."

A girl lowered her voice and gossiped quietly with her sisters.

"Why did I hear dad say he is the fifth prince?"

"Also a possibility."

"It won't be His Highness the Crown Prince anyway, right? Your Majesty will never let a princess from another country become the Crown Prince's concubine of Qi."

"If we choose the third prince, will we offend the Southern Kingdom?"

"Probably not. I heard that Princess Chaoge is not favored in the Southern Kingdom, so she was sent to marry her!"

"Look at the way she kills people," the girl said, and couldn't help but tremble, "Can she look like she's not favored?"

When the topic reached this point, all the ladies tacitly stopped talking.

I really don’t dare to say it anymore.

Chao Ge first went to the imperial concubine, completed the polite social interaction, and then sat in his seat, motionless.

She was wearing a white skirt today, with contrasting red as the hem and waistband. Her hair was pulled up loosely and only decorated with a simple wooden hairpin.

It's simple, but it doesn't hide its beauty.

Begonia flowers blooming on the side hang slightly above her head and sides, making her look like a flower fairy.

If her temper and methods were not taken into consideration, marrying such a beautiful and distinguished woman would be both eye-catching and profitable.

Thinking of Princess Chaoge's purpose of coming to Qi, everyone turned their attention to the princes.

The prince was distracted and didn't know what he was thinking.

The fifth prince's eyes fell on Princess Chao Ge, his eyes shining brightly.

The third prince still lowered his head and had a cold face.

The Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince looked at each other and talked in low voices.

The imperial concubine seemed to have recovered from the shock at the palace banquet. At this moment, she smiled gently and introduced the princes to Chao Ge in a low voice.

"Princess Chaoge, in terms of eldest son or daughter, the third prince is the eldest. In terms of seniority, the prince is naturally the eldest."

"But the third prince is now twenty-two. He has not yet married a wife, and there are not many caring people in the palace. This is really worrying for Your Majesty."

The imperial concubine chuckled lightly and said as if unintentionally, "This child, when I asked him about it, he said that he wanted to choose the one he loved to be his wife, and that he wanted to be a couple for the rest of his life!"

"Among the princes, he is the most infatuated."

It was a rare opportunity for Chao Ge to drink openly. At this moment, while the imperial concubine was chattering away, half a bottle of wine had already been consumed.

Listening to the obviously pointed words, she swung her wine glass and said, "What about the prince and the fifth prince?"

The imperial concubine's expression froze, and she quickly regained her composure.

"The prince does not have a wife now, but he does have a maid at his side."

"As for Xiao Wu, it's hard for a mother to say," the imperial concubine smiled tenderly, with a mother's indulgence for her child, "He was not in good health in the early years, so I made the decision to welcome his childhood sweetheart and grow up together. My cousin comes in."

"But it's just a side room. If the princess can like my gangster, he will be really lucky."

After the imperial concubine finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly remember something and added another sentence.

"But don't worry, princess. Although the two children are close, as long as the princess comes in, she will definitely not be able to get past you."
