The eldest princess looked at Concubine Yan and suddenly said loudly, and He Jingjing looked at the eldest princess strangely.

It stands to reason that the eldest princess should hate Concubine Yan to the core, after all, she is a woman who has sat down so many monstrous disasters, and even suppressed the eldest princess a lot, blowing a lot of pillow wind for the emperor.

Why does the eldest princess still sympathize with Concubine Yan?

"Do you know why Concubine Yan hasn't been able to ascend to the position of queen for so many years?" The eldest princess asked He Jingjing a question, and He Jingjing shook her head.

Although He Jingjing knew that going further meant more rights, he also knew that it was definitely not just the emperor's favor to sit in that position.

"Why?" He Jingjing asked curiously.

"Concubine Yan's family was a general in Zhennan in her early years, and after the war, the status of the military general was not as good as before, and she was suppressed by the first emperor, and now it is gradually declining. ”

After listening to the eldest princess's explanation, He Jingjing understood. After all, this kind of thing is very terrifying, wasn't Zhao Kuangyin the master of high merit back then, and the yellow robe was added?

The person who has military command is very terrifying, and the emperor has to guard against it. He Jingjing also understood the approach of the first emperor.

"So Concubine Yan doesn't have the support of her mother's family, and she is still a breath away from the queen?" He Jingjing asked.

"Yes and no. After eating a piece of candied fruit, the eldest princess looked at He Jingjing and continued with a smile: "The emperor actually doesn't know anything. ”

He Jingjing looked at the emperor, and just as the emperor also looked over, the eyes of the two met in the air, and the corners of the emperor's mouth tugged.

It's been a long time since anyone dared to look at themselves like this, and the last time was this girl's father?

"Although Concubine Yan's mother's family is now in decline, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and the forces of the DPRK and China are intertwined, and Concubine Yan's strength cannot be underestimated. ”

The eldest princess continued to add, and He Jingjing nodded to indicate that she still understood these truths.

The two talked for a while, and the venue suddenly fell silent, and He Jingjing knew that the main event was coming.

"Thank you for coming today, mainly for my son's choice of concubine, and thank you for sending your good daughter. The emperor said some high-sounding words, and the already nervous ministers who sent their daughters over became even more nervous.

The queen clapped her palms, and the girls who participated in the selection of concubines came to the main hall accompanied by music.

"Girls, follow the queue. A grandmother came out and said to the girls, who stood in line with the rehearsal procession, waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come and choose a concubine.

"Go ahead. The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mechanically came to these girls, looked at them one by one, and the moods of those ministers and concubines also rose and fell with every pause of His Royal Highness the Prince.

The girls who had been ignored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince all tried to keep smiling, but the tears in their eyes kept rolling.

Every girl in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks at it very seriously, which makes those ministers never find faults, and the unsuccessful ministers have no spirit with their heads drooping.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stopped in front of one person after seeing all the girls.

He Jingjing laughed wildly in her heart after seeing the girl's face clearly, Cai Shishi!

"What's your name?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked with an "affectionate" look at His Royal Highness the Prince's face.

"Folk girl Cai Shishi. Cai Shishi saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually stopped in front of herself, and only stopped in front of herself, and started talking to herself, and she was a little trembling when she spoke.

"How long have you been in the capital?" asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, it's been a few days. Cai Shishi's face was so red that she was about to drip water.

"Are you still used to eating and lodging?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince continued to care again, Cai Shishi felt that she was about to faint, and continued to answer His Royal Highness the Prince's questions with difficulty breathing.

This kind of question and answer lasted for a while before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left and returned to his place.

"Son, what is there to be satisfied with?" the emperor touched his beard and asked His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Back to my father, the child has no way to make a decision, and the girls are fine. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said respectfully to the emperor.

The emperor was still very satisfied with this answer, but the expressions of Yan Ruyu and Concubine Yan were gloomy and terrifying.

Yan Ruyu and Concubine Yan had already killed Cai Shishi hundreds of times in their hearts, originally thinking that they had found a sought-after player to deal with He Jingjing, but who knew that they would lead a wolf into the room!

This Cai Shishi actually went to seduce His Royal Highness the Prince!

There are so many official ladies on the scene, which one doesn't have to have Cai Shishi's good background and good appearance, but she only asked Cai Shishi and only talked to Cai Shishi!

Concubine Yan felt that her lungs were about to explode.

"Emperor, let's go and see more and communicate more with the girls. The emperor said to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded, and slowly walked in front of these girls.

Today is just a primary election, and there is no need for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make a decision in person, those many things naturally have a grandmother who knows how to do them, and all His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to do is to talk to these girls.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw that Yan Ruyu's face was about to sink down, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt funny in his heart. But without any expression on his face, he came to Yan Ruyu's side and looked at Yan Ruyu deeply.

And when Yan Ruyu came to his side when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to him, the muscles of his whole body tensed, as if he was going to be out of breath in the next second.

Yan Ruyu was ready to answer His Royal Highness the Prince's questions, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left without saying a word, and even looked back at Yan Ruyu a few times.

He Jingjing looked at the performance of her imperial brother, and her heart was about to laugh.

In modern times, this is definitely the level of the Oscar statuette!

If he didn't know the inside story, He Jingjing would definitely think that Yan Ruyu and Cai Shishi were both favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, so it's no wonder that these two people don't have any suspicions!

"Eldest princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really powerful. He Jingjing sighed to the eldest princess in the eldest princess's ear.

The eldest princess didn't answer, but picked up her teaglass, but the smile on her lips couldn't hide anything.

This preliminary test is almost over here, and the next thing is for the emperor to announce that everyone will eat and drink together.

After all, it is not easy for the ministers to enter the palace to participate in a banquet, and Concubine Yan's expression has also rejuvenated under the manipulation of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it looks a little better.

But this person already has a grudge against Cai Shishi in his heart.
