C55 Part1

....

Concubine Qiao patiently said:

"Even if I had told you, what could you have done about it anyway?

Are you still thinking to violate your Emperor Father's will?"

She said earnestly,

"Zhaohua, although your Father spoils you, this marriage is a major event and he won't allow a man too old to become your Consort Husband.

Your Emperor Father will definitely recruit a man who is both talented in civil and military affairs, and you can wait with great hope to get married."

Murong Chang bit her lower lip, and her delicate white face stubbornly strained.

Concubine Qiao looked at her daughter's expression, sighed secretly, and continued:

"Zhaohua, although you have been favored by your Emperor Father, and can enjoy all the best benefits of glory and wealth in this world, you must also take the corresponding responsibility to it!

You must obey His Majesty's arrangement and get married obediently.

Listen to me, just go back to the Sleeping Hall and rest."

'This Daughter of mine was spoiled by His Majesty, and grew up stubborn and self-willed,...

I wonder if anything will happen this time...'

"Who will supervise the competition for the Recruitment of the Consort Husband?"

Murong Chang asked nonchalantly, with her eyes shining with determination.

"What are you planning to do?"

Concubine Qiao felt a bad premonition and was uneasy.

"Who will supervise it?!"

"...It's your Prince Brother, His Highness."

Her voice hadn't settled yet, and she saw her Daughter rushing out the Palace like a whirlwind.

She sighed anxiously.

'This Daughter of mine has always been so mindful and so stubborn.'

Although she was her mother, she could only rely on her daughter in many cases for her status in the Harem.

....

The East Palace.

In the study room, Murong Ci was reviewing the list of famous children and young talented officials handed over by Minister He Guang, from the Ministry of Etiquette and Rituals.

She reviewed and screened the origins, talents and character of these men, and eliminated those with obvious flaws and unworthy behaviors.

The Literary Test was set two days later, and the test questions were undertaken by Murong Ci.

Suddenly, there was a noise from outside.

"Princess...Princess Zhaohua, you can't go in..."

Qin Ruo's voice rumbled.

"You lowly dog minion, get out of my way!"

Princess Zhaohua's fierce raging voice rebuked.

Murong Ci reluctantly put down the roster,

'Princess Zhaohua really came at last...'

Although Murong Ci had told Qin Ruo and Ruyi in advance, not to let Princess Zhaohua come in, in case she had come to see her, she also knew perfectly well that Princess Zhaohua couldn't be stopped so easily.

Murong Chang rushed in, as if bringing wind and thunder, and the study room got darker and darker.

Seeing His Royal Highness waving her hand, Qin Ruo reluctantly withdrew.

"Prince Brother, you had promised this Sister of yours to help me, so why are you stabbing me in the back now?"

Murong Chang screamed and asked, as if she had eaten explosives!

A cloud of anger exploded like thunders in the surging sky had exploded into a broken well, which turned devastated and miserable!

Because she had rushed all the way to the East Palace, and because of her violent anger, her face flushed and her smooth forehead was covered with sweat.

"Why would the Princess Sister say so?

How could this Prince hurt you?"

Murong Ci said unhurriedly.

"You said that you wanted to help me persuade the Emperor Father to marry the Royal King, but the result is this?"

She crackled and asked, anxiously like an ant on a hot pot.

"Why are you now doing a Consort Husband Recruitment?!

Prince brother, how could you do this to me?"

"Princess Sister, as your Older Brother, this Prince naturally hoped to help you marry a wise man.

This Recruitment was not proposed by me to the Emperor Father, but someone else.

I'm just supervising it under the Emperor Father's indication and request."

"It wasn't the Prince Brother?!

Then, who exactly suggested it?"

"Don't you know that there are many Concubines in the Harem, but the Emperor Father only listens to one person...?"

"......"

"It was Concubine Xiao!"
