On the high platform, Nangong Qing watched Nangong Wan'er deny it several times in succession, and he knew it even more.

It seems that this girl of his, is very picky! Twenty-five candidates have passed, only two have passed, and the first day of selection alone was so demanding. Moreover, if he hadn't said a few words and pointed out the identities of those two, I was afraid that Nangong Wan'er would also refuse.

"Wan'er, I think some of these candidates are still good, take a closer look, don't be too demanding." He asked with a smile on his face, not stern.

Su Yi nodded and smiled gently: "The concubine thinks this is also the case, after all, it was screened in advance by the Ministry of Rites, and it can't be too bad, even if the appearance is a little inferior, but when a girl marries, the character and talent of the family are the most important." What does the princess think is the truth? ”

Reason? Hehe, they actually reasoned with her, but did they reason with her again?

For Nangong Wan'er, she never thought of choosing a concubine in this recruitment. It's just that the holy order cannot be violated, and she has no ability to disobey, even if she is unwilling, or even disgusted with this recruitment, she can only be perfunctory.

If they really feel sorry for her, they will forgive her, instead of treating her like this now and forcing her. Today's emperor's brother is no longer the eldest brother who was obedient to her, tolerant and gentle......

"What the imperial sister-in-law said is that Wan'er will look good." With a faint smile, Nangong Wan'er's eyes were full of alienation.

From beginning to end, Luo Qingluan and Nalan Ye didn't say anything, anyway, they just came to see the excitement today. Originally, it was mentioned casually, but she didn't expect Nangong Qing to really adopt it, Luo Qingluan naturally knew that her unintentional sentence offended Nangong Wan'er again, but the explanation was useless, and she didn't bother to explain.

Luo Qingluan has also seen the twenty-five candidates in front, and many of them are young talents with good character and appearance. But Nangong Wan'er only glanced at it, then made an excuse and said that she didn't like it, and just passed it. As for the two who passed, one of them was the queen mother's nephew, and the other was Wen Jian, the son of the deputy governor of the Inspectorate, Yu Shi Wen Kangning, or Nangong Qing spoke, otherwise I am afraid that they will also be screened out.

It can be seen that Nangong Wan'er doesn't want to marry at all!

But Nangong Qing's mind has been decided, and among the three hundred candidates, Luo Qingluan also wants to see what reason Nangong Wan'er can find to make this recruitment end without a problem.

Hearing Wen Changde announce that the next group would play, Nangong Qing and the others invariably looked towards the high platform.

The five young men came to the stage one after another, still dressed differently and with different bearings, and stood in place after taking the stage, looking calm. This is the first day of selection, to put it simply, it is the first impression, no matter how these candidates show themselves, as long as Nangong Wan'er says the reason for dislike, such as being fat, short, thin, etc., no one can find a reason to object.

After all, she is nominally choosing a horse for Nangong Wan'er, and her opinion is the most important.

Looking down, Nangong Wan'er was already starting to get impatient. There are more than 300 stinky men, and she has to say the reasons for her refusal one by one, which is really tireless. She didn't want to marry like this at all, she was looked at by these stinky men in front of everyone, like the eyes of a vicious wolf, and she only felt disgusted and disgusted.

Staring at the man standing on the far left, Nangong Wan'er began to comment, and said lightly: "No. 26, it looks dignified, but the clothes are too bad, I don't like it, let's get by." ”

was already accustomed to Nangong Wan'er's pickiness, and Nangong Qing didn't care.

"Twenty-Seven......

Just glanced at this person, Nangong Wan'er was furious.

The twenty-six candidates in front of him, even if they coveted her identity and beauty, were not as shameless as the man in front of them. He stared at her without saying anything, and winked at her!

What a guts!

This man was in his early twenties, white and handsome, and could be called a beautiful man. But with the obscene expression on his face, he knew at a glance that he was a playboy, and he was used to playing with women, Nangong Wan'er had a bad chill, and immediately made a straight face: "It's rude, it's disrespectful to this princess, drag it down and pull out his eyeballs!" ”

"Wait!"

The forbidden army was just about to make a move, but Luo Qingluan suddenly spoke, and his tone was a little surprised.

What a surprise! She's right?

Isn't the man staring at Nangong Wan'er on the high platform Xiao Tianci?! But why did the dignified third prince come to participate in the selection of Nangong Wan'er, the third princess of Western Chu, and didn't receive any news in advance?

Luo Qingluan couldn't help but think more, since Xiao Tianci had come to Xichu, I was afraid that Xiao Yuqi had also arrived, right? Although Honglu Temple said that Dongwan's envoys would arrive in two days, since Xiao Tianci had appeared, it was estimated that they had arrived in advance, but they were not notified.

Nangong Qing and Nangong Wan'er have seen Xiao Yuqi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dongwan Kingdom, but they have never seen Xiao Tianci, the three princes. If Luo Qingluan doesn't make a sound, let Nangong Wan'er drag Xiao Tianci down and pick out her eyes, I'm afraid that the consequences will be serious.

"This man, can't move!" Luo Qingluan said lightly.

Not only Nangong Qing and Su Yi were surprised, they turned their heads to look at Luo Qingluan, Nangong Wan'er's face changed slightly, and then returned to normal, and said unhappily: "Why did Princess Chu say that this person can't move?" He looked at this princess with such a look just now, and it was in full view of everyone, it can be seen that this person's heart is not right, how can such a person be a colt? If you openly insult this princess, you will naturally be punished! ”

Luo Qingluan opened her mouth, Nangong Qing knew that she had a reason, and she wanted to help make amends. He subconsciously glanced at the man below again, but saw that he looked confident and proud, with a smile on the corner of his lips, standing with his hands in his hands, that kind of unstoppable eyes were vividly displayed, and nodded at him, looking familiar.

The words that had already reached his mouth were swallowed back, and Nangong Qing suddenly felt disgusted.

No matter who this person is, it's impossible not to recognize him! is still so arrogant in front of him, the emperor, and has no gentle and polite manners, where is he here to choose a horse? It's clear that he is here to tease the princess and despise the imperial power!

If someone like him is allowed to marry the princess back, it will be an insult to the dignity of the royal family!

"Who is this person?" Nangong Qing said with a calm face.

Queen Su Yi flipped through the list of candidates in her hand, and hurriedly read: "The No. 27 candidate is a Xiucai from last year's township examination, named Huang Guan, who lives in Maoyan Hutong in the west of the city, and is twenty-one years old. Scholarly family, his father was a jinshi in the fifteenth year of the first emperor......"

"Enough, don't read it, it's just presumptuous!"

Nangong Qing's face became more and more ugly, and he thought that what kind of identity was this Huang Guan, he was so bold, but he turned out to be a talent who did not enter the stream! Not to mention that he is nothing at all among the many candidates, even if he is the son of an official, he will teach him a good lesson!

Nangong Qing's face, Nangong Wan'er could see it clearly, and for the first time, she had a feeling of victory.

"What the imperial brother said is that this person is too rude, and he must be punished well!" She laughed.

Even though Luo Qingluan prevented her from punishing this person, her emperor brother really saw it clearly this time, this person could be so shameless and indecent in public, let alone what would happen in private. If she is a princess, if she chooses such a person to be a concubine, wouldn't it be a shame for the royal family?

"Brother Huang doesn't need to be angry, such a person, it's good to drag it down and beat it to death, it's an eyesore in the province."

Nangong Wan'er said as she looked at Luo Qingluan and said, "Princess Chu, it's not that my imperial brother doesn't give you face, it's really this person who is too rude!" The palace recruits relatives and chooses horses, how can this kind of person be disgusting? Come on, drag that Xiucai named Huang Guan down and kill him with a cane! ”

"Your Majesty thinks twice, and listens to me." Luo Qingluan didn't expect Nangong Wan'er to be so eager, so she could only stop it again.

"Princess Chu has to say to this person like this, could it be ......" Nangong Qing's heart moved, looked at Luo Qingluan, and made one last confirmation: "Princess Chu knows this person?" ”

Luo Qingluan nodded: "I have had some dealings, so I can be regarded as an acquaintance." ”

Frowning slightly, Nangong Qing was relieved, finally eased a little, and said loudly: "Okay, since that's the case, give Princess Chu a face, be exempted from punishment, and only disqualify." ”

A person who does such a thing is only disqualified and not punished?

Nangong Wan'er was suddenly unhappy, feeling that she, the imperial brother, is still obedient to Luo Qingluan's words? Even if this person offended her, he didn't even punish her, only disqualified? Her Luo Qingluan's face is inevitably too big.

"It seems that the imperial brother attaches great importance to Princess Chu! Such a shameless person was actually exempted from responsibility because of Princess Chu's intercession. Nangong Wan'er's tone was sour, she looked at Su Yi as she spoke, and smiled slightly: "Forget it, since it is the face of Princess Chu, then the palace will naturally give it, and this person will be exempted from being killed with a cane, but ten boards are less!" ”

"Wan'er!" Nangong Qing frowned.

"Brother Huang, this is my recruitment, this person is rude to me, why can't I punish him? Someone pretended to be the King of Chu before, didn't the palace also give the princess of Chu anger, and also punished him, why didn't the imperial brother interfere at that time? Or does the royal brother not care about Wan'er at all, he just wants to marry Wan'er by making a random selection of relatives and horses? ”

What she said was reasonable, Nangong Wan'er finally showed a suppressed temperament, and Nangong Qing was a little embarrassed to hear it.

Just when he was embarrassed, he could only hear a voice from below, and it turned out to be the one named Huang Guan who was making trouble: "Why hasn't it been selected for so long, is it because this son is handsome and extraordinary, and the princess has already taken a fancy to me?" In that case, let Ben Gongzi go upstairs to see the princess! ”

Wen Changde on the side also waited strangely, the first few rounds only had results in a moment, why did he delay the tea time this time?

Doubts are doubts, but Wen Changde can't allow the candidates to question, his face sank when he heard it, and he scolded: "The princess hasn't made a decision yet, you just wait patiently, don't make a noise!" ”

"I've been waiting for so long, and none of the previous ones were so slow, why is it my turn to drag on so much?"

"Presumptuous!" Wen Changde was furious and shouted: "Come on, drag this person down!" ”

With a bang, the forbidden legions around moved, and they were about to rush to the high platform to surround Xiao Tianci.

"Stop!" A majestic voice came from the three-story Red Mansion, and I saw Emperor Nangong Qing of Western Chu standing up and said loudly downward: "Candidate Huang Guan of the 27th, pass." ”
