Now, with the support of the regent, it will be interesting to see how the prince finds an excuse not to choose the crown princess.

Mo Yuankai tried to struggle: "Regent, this selection of the crown princess is not so easy to choose, don't you say?"

Woo woo, he doesn't want to ascend the throne so soon.

Mo Chen ignored him, but looked at the Ministry of Rites Shangshu: "The Ministry of Rites Shangshu has begun to arrange matters related to the crown prince's accession to the throne. When the crown princess is elected, the crown prince will ascend the throne."

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was overjoyed: "Yes!"

His Royal Highness the regent can still suppress the crown prince, they have been talking for so long, the prince refuses to choose the crown princess or ascend the throne.

Mo Yuankai: "......" He felt that he could wait a little longer.

Mo Chen glanced at him lightly.

Mo Yuankai's scalp was numb, and he smiled strongly: "Prepare to prepare, the Ministry of Rites is still good to prepare."

It's best to prepare for a long time.

The Ministry of Rites almost couldn't hold back a laugh: "Yes. Please rest assured, Your Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Regent, the ministers will be ready in the shortest possible time, and nothing will go wrong."

Mo Yuan opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say in front of Mo Chen that he should be ready for a long time: "Regent, do you think there is anything else?"

Mo Chen also mentioned the selection of the crown princess: "Half a month later, the draft of the crown princess will be held, and women of all families of appropriate age can participate, and it is not mandatory."

Mo Yuankai didn't want to struggle anymore, he couldn't move anyway.

The courtiers each wondered if there was a girl of the right age, and if not, whether there were relatives or not. This is a great opportunity not to be missed.

After the end of the early dynasty, Mo Chen and Mo Yuankai sat in the side hall of the Yang Xin Palace.

"This time the crown princess draft, let Zhang Qianqian also participate." Mo Chen said.

Mo Yuankai: "!! Regent, wouldn't that be too scary? Moreover, she participated as the daughter of the prefectural magistrate, which was easy to arouse the dissatisfaction and targeting of other courtiers."

Mo Chen thought of this: "Just say that it was recommended by my princess."

Mo Yuankai scratched his head: "I don't quite understand why the princess regent recommended Zhang Qianqian. She may have a good temperament, but she may not be suitable for the palace."

Mo Chen said, "When you have more contact with her, you will understand. Besides, it's not like you have to choose her as the crown princess."

Mo Yuan lay on the small table with a chatter: "Regent, I don't want to choose the crown princess so quickly, I don't want to ascend the throne so quickly. Let's discuss these two things again?"

Mo Chen couldn't understand his thoughts: "It's useless for you to struggle. And, as soon as you ascend the throne, get acquainted with it."

Mo Yuankai sighed, maybe he should have expected the regent and his wife not to come back so soon, so that he could still struggle.

The news that the prince was going to choose the crown princess spread and caused quite a stir. The school-age daughters of various families are all thinking about coming out in the draft. Even if you can't become a crown princess, it's excellent to be the prince's side concubine or concubine.

However, for Zhang Qianqian, it was a disaster.

"You mean, I'm going to participate in the crown princess draft in half a month?!" Her tone was slightly high, and she couldn't believe what the father-in-law in front of her was saying.

I think she has only been in the west for a few days, her father is just an inconspicuous county magistrate, and she doesn't know any dignitaries, why is she going to participate in the draft of the crown princess? .

It's also weird.

The eunuch said politely, "That's right. Miss Zhang, I hope you will be on time."

He saluted and left.

Zhang Qianqian sat down in a chair, never understanding this. It's really strange, how did she end up in the eyes of those people above?

Looking at the current situation, it seems unlikely that she wants to not participate, or that she will not go because she is sick.

She sighed deeply, worried about what to do next. According to the rules, even if the woman who participates in the princess draft, even if she is not selected, there will be some arrangements.

However, she wants to join the women's army, and she doesn't want to participate in any princess draft.

I don't know if there is a way to solve this matter.

"Sister Zhang!" There is an aunt

Zi shouted outside: "The women's army is recruiting, why don't you hurry up?" If it's too late, there's no chance."

When Zhang Qianqian heard this, where could she take care of this, and hurriedly rushed over as fast as she could. Anyway, let's join the Women's Army first.

Anyway, with her appearance and status, she is absolutely unelectable, so there is no need to worry too much.

And Tang Yingying had already learned about the princess's draft from Mo Chen, and also knew that he arranged for someone to inform Zhang Qianqian: "This girl is a good one, but I don't know if she and the prince have this fate."

Mo Chen helped her take a slow walk: "There is no fate, you just show Zhang Qianqian one more."

He found that after his daughter-in-law was pregnant, she especially liked to be a matchmaker.

Tang Yingying thought about it and said, "What you said is reasonable. What is the attitude of the Prince?"

Mo Chen was quite amused: "The crown prince doesn't want to ascend the throne. According to the rules, when he ascends the throne, he has to take care of everything, and I can take the burden off, and he is stalling for me for this."

Tang Yingying couldn't cry or laugh: "The prince is really ...... He can't escape this time, so he has to be allowed to ascend the throne sooner."

Hearing Mo Chen's hum, she said again, "Originally, we also said that when the crown prince ascends the throne, we will take our father around. Now that I'm pregnant, we won't be able to leave for at least a few years."

"Daughter-in-law, my father can go around alone, but he is looking forward to his grandson now."

The ashes of his mother have been put back in the imperial mausoleum, and he didn't tell his father about it, so there is no need to make his father sad and blame himself.

Tang Yingying felt that this would do, and she touched her stomach: "Speaking of which, since I am a month old, this child is not so tormenting, and I eat it now."

Mo Chen also touched her belly: "My daughter-in-law has worked hard. The child knows that you are working hard, so he will not toss you."

Everything that the daughter-in-law needs to give birth has already been arranged. Next, just wait for the daughter-in-law to give birth in the month.

Tang Yingying quipped: "The child is his father, when I give birth to a child, it's your business."

Mo Chen promised, "Don't worry, daughter-in-law, I will take care of the child."

"Hahaha~~ Do you have a chance?"

「…… Probably, it seems that there is no chance. The father is definitely going to come and snatch the child, and there are also uncles and uncles."

The couple looked at each other and smiled, there were too many people who wanted to take care of children, and it was really not their turn to take care of children.

Half a month later.

Imperial Palace, Weiyang Palace.

Zhang Qianqian came to the palace alone, she secretly observed the surrounding ladies, and found that every young lady was dressed up, and at a glance it looked like a beauty pageant scene, and all the girls were beautiful and incomprehensible.

And she......

She looked at her new clothes, which were not bad, and blinked, this was the new clothes she bought for three taels of silver, in order to participate in today's princess draft, and she felt sorry for her at that time.

But looking at the hidden disdain of the young ladies around her, she walked to the corner and stood unconcernedly, she didn't intend to communicate with these young ladies at all, she just came to go through the motions.

She exhaled deeply and tapped her chest a few times, not nervous or nervous. This is the palace, a place that no one else can dream of, and when I go back, I can write to my father.

She forcibly suppressed the tension in her heart, nervous and cramped, and stood there in a proper manner, thinking about what she would do tomorrow. finally entered the women's army, and she had to work hard to make her father proud of her.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has arrived, Princess Regent has arrived!" The eunuch's shrill voice rang out.

Zhang Qianqian hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted with the crowd: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, and Princess Regent."

"Get up."

The smiling young woman's voice made Zhang Qianqian stunned, why did this voice sound so familiar?

She quietly looked up—

When she saw Tang Yingying, Mo Chen and Mo Yuankai sitting in the first place, her brain was about to explode, the regent princess of the lady who was on the same road with her?! Do you want to be so exciting?

Tang Yingying obviously saw Zhang Qian

Qian, she quietly made a shush gesture, and said to Mo Yuankai with a smile: "The prince looks at these watery flowers, and I don't know which one you will pick in the end."

Mo Yuankai didn't want to pick any of them, so he couldn't help it: "I'm looking at ......."

The rest of his words, in Tang Yingying's gradually cold eyes, turned a corner: "You have to choose slowly, this is not something that can be selected in a while, the princess regent said it, right?"

Tang Yingying was quite satisfied with his words: "What the prince said is true. There are so many beauties, I have picked all the dazzling eyes, and the prince chooses slowly, and he can always pick the one that is satisfactory."

Mo Yuankai's heart burst into tears, and he smiled: "Yes. Princess Regent, why don't you let these young ladies show off their talents? In this way, we can get to know these young ladies as soon as possible."

The old god Mochen was sitting there, he came with his daughter-in-law.

Tang Yingying nodded: "The prince has a good idea." She looked at the young lady present, "I wonder which young lady would like to be the first to come?"

Except for Zhang Qianqian, the ladies looked at each other, all vigilant and guarded against each other, and wanted to be the first to be in the limelight, but they were afraid that they would leave a bad impression if they were not in the limelight.

Tang Yingying and the three of them were not in a hurry, and the three of them said a few words from time to time.

After a while, a young woman dressed in red walked out, and she saluted a little nervously, "The courtiers have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Regent, and the Princess Regent, and the courtiers want to perform a sword dance."

Mo Yuan opened the door accurately, and asked the palace maid to take her down to change her clothes, and let people set up the scene, he turned to Mo Chen and his wife and said, "I haven't seen the sword dance for a long time."

Many young ladies hated this young woman, they should be the first to come forward, so that they could also leave a deep impression on His Royal Highness the Prince, that woman was too scheming.

Zhang Qianqian shrank into the corner, hoping that the princess regent would not be found alone, she really didn't want to enter the palace.

Soon, the young lady changed into a dancing garment, and took her sword, which had no blade.

She bowed, invited the musicians to play, and began to dance with the music.

Her dancing is smart and beautiful, looking like a blooming flower from afar, but—

"If there is less ruthlessness, good-looking is good-looking." Tang Yingying said.
