Lin Chunhuan did not think that entering the Eastern Palace was a good path. Strictly speaking, it would be better to marry into the General's Mansion.

But this is the path that Ji Qianying chose herself. As long as it is her own choice, it is the best for her!

Xiao Cen was silent for a while, and finally sighed and held her hand, "If you want to help the second daughter of the Ji family, there are other ways, but if you offend Old Wei because of this matter, Ah Huan, this is not a wise decision."

"I do want to help her." Lin Chunhuan raised her head, with stars in her eyes, "But if this action will implicate the prince, then outsiders are naturally not more important than our palace. I am still clear about this."

"I was just thinking that if they were all beauties, it would be the same as if there were no beauties. This way, if the prince encounters those who use beauty traps in the future, he won't fall into the trap so easily... So, I will just replace a few of them."

Xiao Cen was confused by Lin Chunhuan's words "They are all beauties, which means there is no beauty". Just when Lin Chunhuan was about to take out Ji Qianying's portrait, he suddenly said, "Wait!"

"What Ah Huan said is not entirely unreasonable!"

Xiao Cen hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "You're right, my method never worked before, maybe this is the reason."

"I have been too strict in selecting the women around the prince, so that the prince will lose his focus as soon as he sees a woman who is even slightly good-looking. This is not right... Ah Huan is more thoughtful!"

Without waiting for Lin Chunhuan to say anything, Xiao Cen actually put Ji Qianying's portrait back on his own.

"Your Highness... aren't you afraid of offending General Wei?"

Seeing Lin Chunhuan's cute confused look, Xiao Cen laughed and said, "There is no question of whether I offend him or not. Besides, the whole world belongs to the king. If the prince wants someone, can't a minister snatch him away?"

Seeing Xiao Cen talking in front of her, Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips and smiled softly, saying nothing.

She just wanted to see if this man could really be so generous when the prince wanted to snatch the goose from him. If so, then she would have been wrong.

When the process was halfway through, Duke Zhongguo also came with Princess Xuanji. It was a rare occasion that men and women were seated together, with ladies and courtiers sitting in one room. The men were all gentle and elegant, and the women were all dignified and virtuous, all of whom she had never seen before.

After casually dealing with a certain marquis' wife, Lin Chunhuan lowered his eyes and looked through the remaining portraits, "Next one, please come in."

"Lin Chu Nuan, daughter of the provincial governor, is seventeen years old!"

Following a shout, a slender figure slowly appeared in front of everyone.

The discussions in the hall, which were not noisy to begin with, suddenly became quiet. Everyone was silent, and their eyes were looking at Lin Chunhuan and Xiao Cen's expressions intentionally or unintentionally.

Xiao Cen was fine. After all, he knew from the beginning that Lin Chu Nuan would appear, and he had anticipated the scene at this moment. However, he already knew the prince's attitude in advance, so he remained calm.

As for Lin Chunhuan, the portrait has always been in her hands, so she naturally knows very well when Lin Chunuan will appear.

At this moment, she had a smile on her face and looked at Lin Chu Nuan in front of her with a calm look, making it impossible to tell what emotions she was feeling in her heart.

Everyone present here is a smart person in the capital.

Lin Chu Nuan asked her elder sister to marry in her place, and the fact that she had a close relationship with the Crown Prince was unknown to others, but could be hidden from the royal family.

The person who is now choosing a concubine for the prince is the one who refused to marry in the first place. The success or failure of the marriage all falls into the hands of the eldest sister who is used as a substitute.

Such a scene... is so exciting!

There was total silence in the main hall, but the ladies looked so excited that they almost flew off the sky!

But Lin Chu Nuan was still unaware of it.

She didn't know that the Crown Prince was not present at today's concubine selection. She only knew that everyone in the room was someone she needed to make friends with, and they were all people who had a say in the capital city.

The attention of these characters is now on her alone!

This realization made Lin Chu Nuan so excited that she couldn't stop trembling, as if all her wonderful life would become a reality today!

She knelt on the ground skillfully and dignifiedly, bowed her head, and did it perfectly, "My daughter Lin Chu Nuan, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince was not there, so the person sitting in the first seat was naturally Xiao Cen. He looked at her appraisingly. It had to be said that even though the people that Lin Chunhuan had carefully selected were all considered very beautiful, Lin Chunuan's face was still very outstanding.

Moreover, this person had dressed up carefully today, and even looked a bit more pure and divine, Xiao Cen asked himself.

If he had seen Lin Chu Nuan today before meeting Ah Huan, he would not be moved, but he would indeed have a good impression of such a girl.

It’s no wonder that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, regardless of his status, personally rushed to the Lin family to support Lin Chunuan.

Xiao Cen took a deep breath and looked away.

"Second sister is young after all. Her injuries healed so quickly. I really couldn't tell at all."

A soft and gentle voice sounded from above, sounding somewhat familiar.

Lin Chu Nuan was not surprised. She had known for a long time that the selection of the prince's concubine had been handed over by the emperor to Prince Pingyang, and even someone as unrelated as Princess Xuanji could come.

What's more, Lin Chunhuan is now the Princess of Pingyang.

Lin Chu Nuan slightly tightened her hands in salute, and only then did she raise her head.

Not seeing the crown prince, her whole body tensed up for a moment, and then she turned her gaze to Lin Chunhuan who was smiling gently at the side, "My daughter greets Princess Pingyang."

"I haven't seen you for more than a month. The princess has become more beautiful."

"It's just... isn't it today that the Crown Prince is choosing a concubine? Why is the Crown Prince..."

"Princess Pingyang is such a gentle and quiet person, why is Miss Lin so talkative?" Before Lin Chu Nuan could finish her words, Princess Xuanji was already waving her handkerchief, her eyes showing some impatience, "Just do what you are supposed to do. Whether the prince is here or not, how can you, the daughter of a minor official, have any say in that!"

Lin Chu Nuan bit her lip slightly, lowered her head to hide the unwillingness in her eyes, and replied softly, "The county lady is right."

"I don't have the heart to teach you a lesson!"

Princess Xuanji glanced at Lin Chunhuan a little unsurely, and was slightly relieved to see that she was still smiling, "Forget it, let's see what position the princess assigns you."

what?

Lin Chu Nuan suddenly raised her head and stared at Lin Chun Huan, "You mean the position?"

"This is the prince's harem. How can a woman like you have the qualifications? Why should you decide my position?" Lin Chu Nuan refused to kneel. She stood up and stared at Lin Chun Huan fiercely, "I don't accept it!"

"You are a lowly thing whose father doesn't love you and whose mother doesn't want you. Who gave you the right to do this?"
