Jin Yuqi felt a little irritated by his mother's words. He growled at the air,"Ruthless, come out!"
Almost immediately, two burly men appeared beside him. Their expressions were serious and cold. It was obvious at a glance that they were twins. They wore the same black clothes and black shoes. They were invisible guards specially responsible for protecting the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, what can I do for you?" His elder brother Wu Qing lowered his head and asked.
"Accompany this king to practice swordsmanship." As soon as he finished speaking, his body stretched out and he had already leaped a few steps away. His lightness skill was getting more and more advanced.
"Understood!" The two of them said in unison.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the Crown Prince was in a bad mood, he would drag the two of them to practice swordsmanship to vent his anxiety.
Under the personal supervision of the Empress, the news of the consort selection seemed to have grown wings. In less than half a day, it spread throughout the streets and alleys of the Jinliu Country, and the entire country began to be restless.
When Jin Yuxuan returned to his residence, he recalled the argument he had with his father in the morning court and was furious. When the maids and servants in the residence saw their master's dark face, they all kept quiet, afraid that they would get into trouble if they were not careful.
"Your Highness, why are you so unhappy today?”When Princess Consort Liu Shifei heard the news, she rushed to the Flower Hall and dismissed the maids around her. She spoke to her husband face to face,"Could it be that you've been bullied by someone?"
Liu Shifei was personally chosen by Jin Yuxuan to be the first wife. She was beautiful and knew how to think for her husband. She could be called a confidant. Seeing that she was the only one in the hall, she said,"Humph, it's all because Imperial Father is always biased towards the Crown Prince.”
Martial Consort Liu did not mind." Those who achieve great things do not care about trifles," she said." Your Highness, why do you have to brood over such a trivial matter?" Come, drink some tea and calm your heart." After saying that, she personally poured tea for him.
Jin Yuxuan took a sip of tea and calmed down.""You're right. It was just a moment of bluster.”
Liu Shifei smiled and sat down beside him. She asked,""Is there anything important today?”Usually, as his wife, she still held the title of military advisor. It was precisely because of this that her position was so stable. Rui Wang had many concubines, but she was the most valued.
Jin Yuxuan sighed." Sigh, the Crown Prince is going to choose a concubine. Is this considered a big deal?"”
"It's only right and proper for the Crown Prince to choose his wife. However, what makes me curious is, what kind of woman can catch his eye?" Liu Shifei smiled faintly.”
" He already has a lot of women," Jin Yuxuan said bitterly." Does he still need a crown princess?"”
"Men treat women like women treat clothes. They never feel that there is enough!”Liu Shifei explained.
"Hehe, will you be jealous?”Jin Yuxuan asked.
"What are your plans, Your Highness?" Liu Shifei asked.”
"What do you have in mind?" Jin Yuxuan's eyes lit up.”
Liu Shifei's eyes moved as she continued,"I have an aunt who sent a letter a few days ago saying that her husband died a few days ago and she suddenly felt that she had lost her support. She wanted to bring her daughter to seek refuge.”
"What do you mean?”
"That's right. As long as my cousin is smart enough, she'll be a good chess piece."”
Jin Yuxuan thought for a moment and said,"Although that's the case, the Crown Prince is not an idiot."”
Liu Shifei snorted and replied,"Hmph, it all depends on one's own efforts! He's not stupid, and we're not fools either.”
Jin Yuxuan finally smiled and praised,""No wonder I chose you as my concubine. You're indeed a husband's wife! Haha."
"Who asked us to be husband and wife?" Liu Shifei lowered her voice and said,"Besides, I want to have a taste of being an empress!”
Jin Yuxuan laughed dryly.
"Alright, I'll prepare a letter immediately so that they can set off as soon as possible.”Liu Shifei stood up.
Jin Yuxuan looked at her and nodded."Great, I can rest assured that you'll do your job.”
Scholar Murong's residence was in a simple and elegant hall. Murong Youdao, who had just returned from court, had changed into a set of light clothes. However, there was not the slightest expression of joy on his face. He had his hands behind his back as he paced back and forth, sighing endlessly.
"Old Master, why are you feeling uneasy after returning from the palace today and always sighing? Could it be that something major had happened in the imperial court?”His wife, Mrs. Gao, asked with concern when she saw her husband's strange expression.
Madam Gao's eyes revealed infinite love and tenderness. Outsiders could tell at a glance that they were a loving old couple.
"There is indeed something big!" Murong Youdao said deeply.
"What is it? You might as well say it, and we can also have a countermeasure.”Mrs. Gao was in her forties this year, but her charm was still there. It was vaguely visible that she must have been a beautiful and moving woman in the past.
"The Crown Prince is about to choose the Crown Princess. The Empress had already decreed that all unmarried women in the country who had reached the age of sixteen would have to participate in the Crown Prince Consort selection. Our Yan 'er is eighteen years old and hasn't gotten married yet. She's also a candidate. But she…" Murong Youdao shook his head and said,"Alas, this old man is so upset about this matter that I don't know what to do."”
Murong Youdao was six years older than his wife. He was in his fifties and was in good health. He was a famous scholar in Jinliu Country. He had read a lot of books and had a lot of beautiful articles. However, when it came to marriage, he had times when he was in trouble.
Madam Gao calmly said,"Hehe, I was wondering what it was. Master, you're such a smart person, but you're confused at this time."”
Murong Youdao looked at his wife and asked,""Oh? How do you know?"
"Master, don't be upset." Madam Gao slowly said," Yan 'er is talented and intelligent. I think she will have a good idea. We might as well call her over first and then make a plan."”
"That's right, I was too impatient.”Murong Youdao patted his forehead. She had always been calm and quick-witted. She would definitely have a good solution.”
Madam Gao said to the maid standing behind her,""Qingfeng, quickly go and find the young lady. Tell her that there is something important to discuss.”
The maid called Qing Feng had a delicate and clean appearance. She was wearing a pink dress and a green gown. She had two cute buns. She was Miss Yan 'er's personal maid. Because Xiao Cui, who had been serving Furen for the past two days, had asked for leave, she was transferred to serve Furen.
"Yes, Madam!" Qing Feng accepted the order and left.
Qing Feng used his fastest speed to search for the young miss. Although the Scholar's Residence was not as magnificent as the Imperial Palace, it was still one of the top three buildings. There were also small bridges, flowing water, and pavilions.
Qing Feng quickly went to the young lady's boudoir, but there was no trace of the young lady in Rong Ya Pavilion. He then went to the old master's study, but he still could not find any trace of the young lady. She listened carefully, but there was no sound of zither in the air. It was obvious that Miss was not playing the zither. Qing Feng, who understood the young miss very well, immediately thought of the last place, which was the garden in the residence.
