Thinking of this possibility, Feng Ruozhao silently made a decision in his heart, a decision that would be good for both himself and Hongzhou. Oh no, it should be said that it was a decision - to cling to someone powerful!

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will arrange it right away. Ask the Master of Ceremonies to put these three noble ladies at the end. It will be convenient for Your Majesty to issue an edict to grant their marriages then." Feng Ruozhao closed the booklet, explained her intention to leave to the emperor, then bowed and went to make arrangements. As for the others, the emperor would make arrangements himself, so it was not her concern.

The emperor looked at the people following him and felt that they were too numerous and impolite, so he said, "Xinpin, please send the two children back to their respective palaces. Concubine Hua and Concubine Rou will follow me to the main hall to watch the ceremony."

After hearing this, the three concubines and the two little kids were speechless. Which family would let the original wife watch when choosing a new bride? Only this dog emperor could do such a thing! Alas... If the empress dowager was in better health and the queen was a good person, I don't know how much trouble would be saved.

"Yes." The three concubines responded helplessly.

Although Fubao and Hongyao were extremely speechless, they even re-labeled their own royal father in their hearts.

"I'll take my leave." Lu Yingfeng bowed politely and prepared to leave.

"Your sons will take their leave," said Fubao and Hongyao, and they looked at their mothers hoping for the best.

The emperor nodded slightly, signaling that they could go down.

After Lu Yingfeng easily left Jiangxuexuan with the two little kids, the emperor looked at Concubine Hua, with an unknown emotion swirling in his eyes. It was unknown how long he looked at Nian Shilan before the emperor turned around and looked at Yu Ying'er with a gentle look in his eyes, and held Yu Ying'er's hand.

"Let's go. I believe Concubine Jing is ready. Let's go in and wait." The emperor pulled Yu Ying'er, then realized that he was too partial, so he quickly turned around and pulled Nian Shilan with his other hand, "Shilan, follow me."

The emperor was very happy with the two women hugging each other, one on his left and one on his right. He did not let go of their hands until they entered the main hall.

After all, he still had to give some face to the host Feng Ruozhao, so he chose to sit in the main seat with Feng Ruozhao, while Nian Shilan and Yu Ying'er sat on the left and right in the second row.

"The beauty pageant has begun. Call the first row of beauties into the palace." The eunuch in charge of this matter stood in front of several masters and shouted.

As the eunuchs sang and shouted, a line of people walked in. There were a total of six people in this line, namely Xilin Gioro, Guaerjia, Majia, He, Lin, and Xu.

Those who were mixed with the Manchu and Han military flags either came from large families or had fathers or brothers serving as officials in the court, and their official positions were no lower than the fourth rank.

The emperor took a quick look and was not interested. They were all ordinary and could not arouse his interest. Moreover, there was no stunning woman in this line, so he was lazy and looked at Yu Ying'er from time to time, who was very curious about every new concubine, doting but helpless.

In the end, Feng Ruozhao asked a few questions and gave them a chance, but he still failed to arouse the emperor's interest. Therefore, no one in the first row was selected and they left the stage regretfully. They were rewarded with fifty taels of silver and a jade pendant produced by the palace as participation prizes.

The second row, the third row... one row after another, the emperor finally only introduced three new sisters into the palace, namely the gorgeous An Jia Yusu, the silly and cute Kang Ningyue, and the incompatible and cold new type Sun Yudai.

When she saw Sun Yudai, Yu Ying'er's eyes lit up, and she sighed that Sun Yudai was a bold character among the protagonists. She was the one who dared to cuckold the emperor in such a bright and clear world! The emperor kept Sun Yudai because of the excitement and surprise in Yu Ying'er's eyes and her cold temperament.

Before she knew it, she had reached the last row, and Yu Ying'er finally saw the true faces of Dong E, the wife chosen by the emperor for the third prince Hongshi, and the princesses Zhong and Tian.

Dong E was dignified and elegant. Her appearance was slightly inferior to that of Zhong, but her demeanor made it clear that she was a noble lady raised in a large family. No wonder the emperor identified her as the candidate for Hongshi's legitimate wife at first sight after looking at the album.

Mrs. Zhong was a pretty lady, while Mrs. Tian's appearance and figure were considered good looking in the eyes of the older generation. The emperor took into account Hongshi's love for beauty as a man and his desire for offspring, so he chose a wife who could handle the situation well.

At first glance, this combination does not treat Hongshi unfairly at all.

After the emperor asked a few questions personally, he immediately ordered that the third prince be named Prince Hui, and that Dong E be appointed as the third prince's legitimate wife, who would enter the palace on the eighth day of March next year; and that Zhong and Tian be appointed as princesses, who would enter the palace one month earlier than the legitimate wife.

Dong E, Tian, ​​and Zhong knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, thank you."

The three of them were actually a little confused. They originally thought they would enter the palace to serve an old emperor, but they never expected to pick up a prince's younger brother as their husband. The girls who came to participate in the selection this time were all over sixteen years old, older than Hongshi, so they were sisters, right?

However, in the eyes of the three, entering the harem and entering the prince's mansion are the same, they are all about being wives and concubines of the royal family. The prince's mansion is always much simpler than the imperial palace, so they were considered to be sent to the prince's mansion to be better than they expected.

The emperor waved his hand gently and asked the three people to stand up and leave. This selection ended successfully.

After the selection was over, the emperor left first because he had to go back to the Yangxin Palace to draft imperial edicts and handle affairs, making the entire Jiangxuexuan suddenly quiet, with only three masters left.

"Sister would like to congratulate sister first." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Yu Ying'er walked to Nian Shilan and said to Feng Ruozhao.

This congratulation made Feng Ruozhao a little confused. She was not the mother of the Third Prince, so what was there to congratulate? Thinking of this, she asked in confusion, "What do you mean, Sister Roufei?"

"On the way to Jiangxuexuan, the emperor said that he intended to promote you to Imperial Noble Consort and have you take charge of the harem on behalf of the Empress. I would like to congratulate you and ask you to take care of me and Concubine Hua in the future." Yu Ying'er subconsciously stood in front of Nian Shilan, protecting her and blocking her tightly.

Nian Shilan was trying hard to stick her head out from behind Yu Ying'er to tell her that with her around, she didn't need Feng Ruozhao's care at all and she could take good care of Yu Ying'er herself.

But the more Nian Shilan moved, the more Yu Ying'er hid her. She even turned her back to Nian Shilan and reached out to hold her back to comfort her.

Feng Ruozhao watched the two's little movements and secretly sighed that they had a really good relationship. However, regarding the Imperial Concubine's matter...

"Sister, you're joking. Not to mention that the imperial edict from Imperial Noble Consort Jin hasn't been issued yet, sister has Noble Consort Hua to take care of her, the emperor loves her, and she's Prince Hongyao's mother. Why would she need my care in the palace? I want to be closer to sister." Feng Ruozhao smiled very gently.

Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Nian Shilan finally got past Yu Ying'er and couldn't help but say, "Jing Guifei is busy on weekdays, so she doesn't have time to get close to us. This newcomer should discuss her position and palace with the emperor as soon as possible after entering the palace, right? We won't bother you any more."

After saying that, Nian Shilan pulled Yu Ying'er and walked towards Yikun Palace angrily.

Yu Ying'er was helpless and helpless. She was dragged by the strong Nian Shilan and ran all the way. She ran so hard that tears were about to come out. They finally arrived at Yiku Palace. If she ran any longer, Yu Ying'er's legs might be broken.

After all... there were still two injections to go. After all this ordeal, Yu Ying'er's face turned pale and she looked bloodless. Nian Shilan was so scared that she didn't care about being angry anymore and quickly called someone to invite Wei Lin over.
