My system is three thousand years ahead of schedule

Queen Mother Li was obviously very happy when she saw the emperor's arrival.

There was still a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

In order to appease the Queen and several noble concubines, she had put a lot of thought into this. Now that the Emperor of Zhou is here, she can pass the blame to the Emperor.

Queen Mother Li sat at the head of the table. After her servants brought plates of food made from precious spiritual objects to the table, she greeted everyone to eat with a smile.

Cheng Guang just couldn't understand the psychology of Emperor Zhou, and didn't know why he suddenly let him go. But at the same time, he didn't dare to stand out again and kept his head down silently as a jobber.

The food at the family banquet was all delicious, but when it was dead but not completely dead, it was basically tasteless.

"Guang'er, this is your favorite Bazhen chicken. Many nobles in Kyoto like this bite. It is said to have the effect of aphrodisiac and replenishing the spirit. Eat more."

Wu Yuemei introduced it softly, and put the chicken that was as bright as a treasure into Cheng Guang's bowl. It was white and red inside, quite delicate.

It's outrageous that chicken in this world can look like this.

Emperor Zhou glanced over at the same time.

Cheng Guang's heart was slightly shaken, so he responded and quickly finished the food Princess Yuemei brought him.

If no one knew that he was pretending to be the prince, he would still have the shamelessness to call him mother or grandmother, but now under the attention of the Emperor of Zhou, Cheng Guang felt guilty and panicked.

Perhaps he was nervous and confused, his body was tense and his expression was slightly stiff.

Cheng Guang knew that if he continued like this, even if the Emperor of Zhou didn't say anything, he would probably behave differently from the previous princes and be exposed.

His body began to relax.

Cheng Guang's fate at this time was not in his control, and he had to continue to hang out in the circle of this big shot, which made him suffer every moment.

Emperor Zhou's eyes did not stay on Cheng Guang for too long.

After a quick glance, he looked away.

Wang and Queen Xu on the side saw that the time was almost up, so she said: "Your Majesty, seeing that the blood pool is about to open, the decision on the selection of the prince has been delayed again and again. Now it is better to make a decision as soon as possible."

Queen Wang started the topic, and everyone at the banquet put down their bowls and chopsticks, and their eyes fell on the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty.

It seemed that he wanted to know who the Emperor of Zhou would make the crown prince.

I saw Emperor Zhou taking a sip of tea slowly, looking around, and finally landed on Queen Mother Li.

"Queen Mother, which child do you think you like more?"

Empress Dowager Li waved her hand and said: "Don't ask the old woman about the emperor. I think any of the children and old women are good. I am also very confused about who should be chosen. The emperor should decide for himself."

Emperor Zhou smiled and shook his head, then said: "I do have a candidate in mind."

After Emperor Zhou's words fell, everyone present except Empress Dowager Li, Princess Yuemei, Cheng Guang, and Wu Ling, who seemed heartless and a doormat, all felt faintly in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, who do you have in mind?" Queen Wang asked what everyone wanted to ask the most.

Everyone stared at the majestic face of the Great Zhou Emperor, probably hoping to see whose face the Emperor's eyes would eventually fall on.

I saw a smile on the corner of Emperor Zhou's mouth, and suddenly stretched out his hand, slowly pointing at the most inconspicuous Wu Ling in the corner.

"It's her."

"Wu Ling, come here."

At this time, Wu Ling, like Cheng Guang, was still busy cooking. Whether it was the emperor's family banquet, or the battle between the prince and the blood pool, she thought it had little to do with her.

When he heard the emperor calling him, Wu Ling's first reaction was that he heard wrongly, but there was silence in his ears, and the air seemed to freeze a bit.

She noticed something was wrong and raised her head in confusion, only to see everyone on the table looking at her.

Look at the Emperor Zhou's eyes again, soft and full of majesty.

"What happened to my father?" Wu Ling was stunned.

"come over."

When Wu Ling saw Emperor Zhou shouting again, he did not dare to act too presumptuously in the eyes of everyone, and hurriedly stepped forward while carefully keeping a distance from Emperor Zhou.

The scene was eerily silent at this time.

Princess Yuemei and Cheng Guang were okay and were not greatly touched, but the others looked at the scene in front of them as if they were sluggish.

Under the attention of everyone, Wu Ling obviously felt extremely uneasy, lowering his head as if he wanted to bury it in his chest.

"Emperor, why did you choose her? She is still a woman..."

Empress Dowager Li was also shocked at this time and expressed doubts.

At this time, only Empress Dowager Li dared to ask this question. The others did not dare to question the emperor's decision, even if they felt turbulent in their hearts.

Emperor Zhou stood up and put a hand on Wu Ling's shoulder.

"I chose her, of course, for a reason."

"First, I have checked with the Star Watcher to check everyone's luck, and she has the shadow of the Ziwei Emperor Star in her destiny."

"Secondly, the concentration of her royal bloodline is extremely high, comparable to mine after two blood pool baptisms."

"As for women..."

Emperor Zhou paused, patted Wu Ling's shoulder again, and then sat down again.

"Isn't the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Xuanwu, a woman?"

After Emperor Zhou finished speaking, the air solidified again.

Many people's faces became stiff. Even the gentle Queen Wang didn't know what to say for a while, and her face turned slightly dark.

And a group of princes and princesses who were not well-off were even more happy and angry, and expressed them directly.

A young prince could not help but mutter: "What qualifications does a bumpkin from the countryside have to be a prince? If she can be a prince, she might as well let my servant be the prince."

As soon as the young prince said these words, the face of the imperial concubine beside him changed slightly and she quickly covered his mouth.

"Xu'er, don't talk nonsense, shut up."

"Isn't that what it is? My father made the choice completely blindly." The prince seemed to have said it unintentionally.

But whoever was present was not a human spirit, but the imperial concubine who wanted to express her dissatisfaction with the Emperor of Zhou through the prince's childlike words.

And this also touched the eyebrows of Emperor Zhou, who frowned slightly and said, "Palm mouth."

After the words fell, a figure suddenly appeared behind the noble concubine.

Everyone's eyes narrowed slightly, and before they had time to react, the bodies of the noble concubine and the young prince were held up and dragged directly out of the palace.

Soon, there was a slap in the face outside the hall.

The young prince screamed like a slaughtering pig.

Everyone present watched silently without making a sound.

In his heart, he secretly cursed the imperial concubine and her young child as idiots.

Originally, the emperor was acting like this because he wanted to support Wu Ling as the crown prince. Although the reasons listed were very convincing, they only needed to understand them rationally and move them emotionally.

With the advantage of having his children grow up beside the emperor, he might be able to change his mind.

But it's fine now.

It gave the emperor a chance to establish his authority and at the same time express his determination to everyone.

Cheng Guang looked at Wu Ling, and then at Emperor Zhou, whose face was watery at this time, and he couldn't see through any of his emotions, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He was not surprised by this result.

After all, he knew that Wu Ling was the future Empress of Zhou Dynasty.

He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt that the direct reason why Emperor Zhou didn't directly reveal his identity as the fake prince was that he had a good relationship with Wu Ling.

Sure enough, Cheng Guang's guess was verified in the next second.

I saw a smile suddenly appear on the face of Emperor Zhou, "What do you think of Wu Ling being the prince? If you have any opinions, please tell me directly. I will follow the good advice."

At this time, even Queen Mother Li could not speak.

She is the only one who can question the emperor, but the emperor's decisive look now clearly means that he has been chosen in advance, and she cannot change the emperor's mind.

Simply keep silent.

Queen Wang and other noble concubines also lowered their eyebrows and remained silent, seeming to express their dissatisfaction in silence.

"It seems that no one has any opinions. Boy Guang, do you have any opinions? What do you think of Wu Ling, whom I am optimistic about?" Emperor Zhou then turned his attention to Cheng Guang.

Cheng Guang's heart was slightly shaken, and he secretly thought that indeed, indeed, the emperor deserves to be the emperor. If the real prince were here, he would probably not respond, or he would directly accuse the emperor of being blind.

But he is a fake prince and can only follow the emperor's wishes.

"Of course my uncle has very good taste. Wu Ling looks like an empress at first glance. It is perfect for her to be the crown prince and take charge of the East Palace."

Cheng Guang said this under the attention of everyone.

The voice just fell.

Emperor Zhou then put his hands together and smiled, "Okay, everyone has heard it. My nephew has said so, so it's settled."

Cheng Guang's status is extremely high, and in a sense, he represents the position of the future Zhenguo government.

Any prince who gets Cheng Guang's support will most likely become the next emperor, let alone any young prince.

A hammer is fixed.

The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty did not expose Cheng Guang, perhaps the purpose was to use it here.

Cheng Guang was also quite impressed and thought to himself that the emperor had seen through his identity as the crown prince's substitute today and used it temporarily. But if he hadn't found out that he was a fake, how would the emperor have pushed Wu Ling to the East Palace position despite all the opposition? .
