After Yu Ying'er's rebirth, she became addicted to teasing Concubine Hua

"I'm fine. Ying'er is right. I shouldn't be angry at such a person. If I had discovered earlier that Concubine Qi was such a person, I would never have let her raise Hongshi. Hongshi would have developed such a stupid character and only knew how to make me angry all day long." Although the emperor was full of reprimands when talking about Hongshi, he also knew that his third son, although a little stupid, was also a sincere person.

At least he would never do anything to harm his brothers or offspring, which was in stark contrast to himself.

The emperor thought about how he had either executed or confined most of his brothers after he ascended the throne, which gave him the reputation of being a man with bad relations with his brothers, and he was almost recorded by the censors and left with a bad reputation for eternity... No! I am right, the eighth, ninth, and tenth brothers were all traitors who attempted to rebel, so why shouldn't they die?

Yes, they deserve to die! I am an emperor born in accordance with heaven, the Son of Heaven, with inviolable majesty. Those who dared to challenge my majesty should pay the price.

After experiencing betrayal and stabbing in the back by his brothers, even though the emperor listened to Hong Yao's advice and re-employed his brothers, he was still secretly on guard against them everywhere. It seemed that he was delegating power, but in fact, almost all power was still firmly held in the emperor's hands.

Among this group of brothers, if we really want to say who the emperor trusts, then it is only his thirteenth brother, the one who has followed him around since he was a child and supported him unconditionally.

"Ah..." The emperor couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong with the Emperor?" Yu Ying'er coaxed him patiently, but in fact she wanted to glare at Nian Shilan and Lu Yingfeng who were watching silently on the side. Why did she always have to coax the Emperor while they were just watching the show?

Ahhh! I want to be the one watching the show too!!

The emperor patted Yu Ying'er on the shoulder, feeling very relieved. He knew that there was only one person in the world who cared about him so much, besides his thirteenth brother, there was only his own Ying'er.

At this moment, the emperor completely forgot about his own children who had stayed up countless nights to research medicinal foods for his health and also researched medicinal foods to prolong the lives of his tools. All he had in his eyes were his beloved brothers and his beloved young wife.

"Ying'er, you understand me best! I..." When the emperor thought of Yu Ying'er who was still only a concubine, he felt that Yu Ying'er was wronged. It was impossible to make her the queen, but it would be too eye-catching to jump to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort. "I plan to promote Noble Consort Jing to Imperial Noble Consort and you to Noble Consort after the selection is completed. I will let Noble Consort Jing take charge of the six palaces on behalf of the queen, and Noble Consort Hua, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Xin will assist her."

The emperor was willing to dote on Yu Ying'er and promote her position, but he would never allow her to think about that power all the time. He remembered that whether it was Yi Xiu or Nian Shilan, they originally loved him the most, but after they touched that power, their love for him was completely mixed with impurities.

The emperor was pouring out his heart to Yu Ying'er here, completely forgetting about Nian Shilan, Lu Yingfeng and the two little kids who were standing beside him.

Nian Shilan was very unhappy when she saw that the dog emperor was holding Yu Ying'er's hand and getting closer to her. She said directly, "Your Majesty, you should go to Noble Concubine Jing to discuss the selection. Now that Concubine Qi is under house arrest, there are some changes that need to be handled by Your Majesty and Noble Concubine Jing together. For the rest, you should make plans after the selection is over."

The emperor frowned when his thoughts were interrupted by Nian Shilan. He found that Nian Shilan seemed to like to refute him more and more recently and make her own decisions. How could she be the same Shilan who only thought about herself in all aspects all the time?

As expected... Ying'er is still the one I like the most.

"I understand. You come with me. Concubine Qi is under house arrest. As Hongshi's stepmothers, you can also give me some advice on Hongshi's choice of a wife." The emperor suddenly realized that the three people present were all from Nian Shilan's faction. Nian Shilan's faction was becoming more and more powerful in the palace, and they could only support Hongyao. Now was a good opportunity to test them.

Nian Shilan was speechless, and then she thought of what the emperor had just said to Li Jingyan, and said directly: "The selection of the prince consort and the wife for the princesses and princes should be decided by the emperor and the princesses' mothers. At the very least, it should be decided by Concubine Jing and the emperor who are in charge of the selection. Even Concubine Qi, as a mother, cannot interfere, so how can we, as concubines, give opinions?"

These words made the emperor's mouth twitch slightly. You are using my words to reply to me, but I am the emperor, and what I say is what it is.

"I asked you to go with me to help Concubine Jing. I didn't really let you choose. Let's go." The emperor took Yu Ying'er's hand and turned to go to the venue of this talent show - Jiangxuexuan.

Nian Shilan stamped her feet angrily, and followed Lu Yingfeng without paying any attention to her. Lu Yingfeng felt as if she was dragged along, and she didn't want to be dragged along. Not to mention that she was not interested in the selection of talents, she was not happy to be chosen as the wife of the Third Prince, saying that she was not worthy!

But... Lu Yingfeng looked at Fubao and Hongyao who were looking at him eagerly, and followed them with the two little kids helplessly.

In Jiangxuexuan, Imperial Concubine Jing had prepared early, and even remembered the details of the beauties from each family in the book. After all, she was the host now, and the selection this time was not as grand as the selection in the first year. The ones who could participate in this selection were either the legitimate daughters of aristocratic families or those recommended by aristocratic families. There were only a hundred people in total, which she could remember.

"The Emperor has arrived, Concubine Hua has arrived, Concubine Rou has arrived, Concubine Xin has arrived, the Sixth Prince has arrived, and the Third Princess has arrived." The eunuch sang the names of several people in one breath and almost couldn't catch his breath.

After that, Concubine Jing paid her respects to the Emperor, and then the concubines greeted each other. After all the necessary etiquette procedures were completed, Concubine Jing handed the book to the Emperor: "These are the 100 noble ladies from aristocratic families who are participating in the selection this year. Please take a look, Your Majesty."

The reason for reviewing them is to ask the Emperor whether he wants to choose a candidate for the Third Prince's wife from among them. Then, during the selection, he will see their performance on the spot and make a final decision.

The emperor took the booklet and began to look through it. There was information on 100 beauties, which was not too many, but not too few either. The emperor looked through it for a long time before closing the booklet and handing it back to Concubine Jing.

"I think Xilda's daughter Dong'e is very good. Dong'e is dignified and generous, and she is worthy of being Hongshi's legitimate wife. As for Zhong and Tian, ​​they can be promised the title of princess. The rest can be left alone." The emperor stated his decision calmly without even consulting his superiors.

The wife chosen by the emperor for Hongshi this time was from a prominent Manchu family, but her family had average influence in the previous dynasty, so this marriage could only be considered average. As for Zhong and Tian, ​​they were daughters of Han army flag officials, and their family backgrounds were just average, with nothing outstanding about them.

What's more, the emperor did not choose a concubine this time. The meaning is very clear. In the future, the concubine will be chosen from these two princesses. Let's see who can grasp it.

Such an operation undoubtedly told everyone that choosing this wife's family for Hongshi might not be able to provide any help to Hongshi. It was also the emperor's reminder to the family that silently helped Hongshi behind the scenes that it was time to stop.

Feng Ruozhao was not stupid either, so he naturally understood the meaning of the emperor's words. Looking at the book in his hand, he seemed to understand something. He looked at Yu Ying'er who was standing next to the emperor, and then he realized that among the several princes still alive, Hongyao's chances of winning were too great.

The winner is here.

When Feng Ruozhao thought of the emperor's favor for Yu Ying'er and Prince Hongyao's excellence, it seemed... everything made sense.
