Su Xinyi paused, with a look of surprise on her face, "Really? This is good news."

"It is good news." Zhu Chanyi pursed her lips.

"What's wrong?" Su Xinyi noticed that Zhu Chanyi's expression was not right.

"Do you know about Miss Yan's matter?"

Su Xinyi nodded slightly. There were too many eyes and ears around at this time. Even in Yuanhui Palace, she had to be cautious. She smiled, "Let's talk about this later. Let's go in first."

Zhu Chanyi also stopped talking. Since Xinyi knew, it would be easy to deal with.

Yuanhui Palace was very lively today. Su Xinyi came the latest. It was not because she was arrogant, but because she was not in a good condition now. It was the queen who told her not to rush to come.

After entering the door, she took a look around and didn't find Tu Jingjia here. It should be that she had just found out that she was pregnant, and the queen asked her to stay in the palace to rest.

Below the Empress was Consort Li sitting high up. Su Xinyi felt that she hadn't seen Consort Li for a long time. She thought that Consort Li would be a little haggard because of the Li family's affairs, but she didn't expect that today Consort Li was radiant and dressed very beautifully.

Below the Consort were Consort Qi Xian and Consort Ruan Ming. Consort Qi Xian was very happy that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, and her face was full of rosy glow. Consort Ruan Ming was different. Even though she looked smiling, the fine wrinkles between her eyebrows showed her worries.

Except for the pregnant Tu Jingjia, the other princesses also arrived. Today was really neat and tidy.

Su Xinyi saluted the Empress first. The Empress seemed to be in a good mood today. She asked Aunt Zhao to help her up and said with a smile: "You don't need to be polite. Sit down quickly."

Consort Li looked at Su Xinyi, saw her rosy face, and then looked at her high belly. The smile on her face faded a little.

"The Crown Princess is different with the Queen." Concubine Li couldn't help but say something when she thought about the Li family.

The Li family is in such a mess now, especially the second master Li's family moved out of the Taishi Mansion. This made Concubine Li very suspicious that someone was behind the scenes to sow discord. The first person she suspected was the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace. It's a pity that she has no evidence. If anyone doesn't want the Li family to be good, it must be the Eastern Palace.

Now that the matter of Prince Yi has just passed, Concubine Li dare not do anything else. Her father's illness made His Majesty think of the old relationship and not be too cruel to the Li family. At this juncture, Concubine Li naturally has to live with her tail between her legs.

It's just that she has been a concubine for a long time, even if she suppresses her temper, she can't help but feel angry when she sees Su Xinyi like this.

What are you proud of? I don't know what this baby will be.

Seeing Su Xinyi's belly, she can't help but think of the two children who had miscarried in the Xiangwang Mansion. If... if those two children hadn't been miscarried, they should have been born now. Even if he was a concubine's son, he was still the eldest grandson of the emperor. How could Su Xinyi be so arrogant?

The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it. She also remembered that her son had been known to value women in order to protect Fu Yun. She almost vomited blood. She had been good at planning all her life, but she didn't know how she raised such a useless son.

On the other hand, Su Xinyi was talking happily. She had no idea that Li Guifei's heart was burning on the fire. Even if she knew, she would not care.

Soon, someone came to invite the queen and others to review the concubines.

This year's concubines are not only to add people to the harem, but also to the vacant positions of concubines in the various princes' palaces. There is only one crown princess in the East Palace. Under the crown princess, there are Liang Di, Liang Yuan, Cheng Hui, Zhao Xun and Feng Yi.

Liang Di can be set up for two people, Liang Yuan can be set up for six people, Cheng Hui can be set up for eight people, and Feng Yi can be set up for ten people. Su Xinyi thought that if she replaced a queen who was not friendly to her, she would have all the personnel of the East Palace in one go. It would be really lively.

Fortunately, after her rebirth, she did not dwell on the grudges of her previous life, and she made peace with the Queen. Now she has gained a lot.

Su Xinyi knew what the prince promised her and what the Queen protected her for, but others did not know. Today, people like Concubine Li who did not get along with her were waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Su Xinyi was very familiar with the place where the selection was held. It was in Yangde Palace. If it was true, she was also selected from here to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Returning to Yangde Palace, Su Xinyi was really a little emotional. She thought she was just going to go through the motions at the beginning. Who would have thought that His Royal Highness, the most precious flower in the world, would fall into her hands.

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi couldn't help feeling a little happy.

"What is the Crown Princess laughing at? Are you so happy because you are thinking about adding a new person to the Crown Prince?"

Su Xinyi looked up at the Concubine Li who was speaking. Concubine Li was hoping that she could make a scene today, and it would be best if the emperor was disappointed in her, and then give more people to the East Palace.

How could she let Concubine Li get her wish? She smiled and said, "What the Concubine said is true. Your Highness is busy with official duties all day long. It is really boring for me to stay in the East Palace alone. If I can have more sisters to drink tea, appreciate flowers, and talk, I will be very happy."

Everyone present was stunned and looked at the Crown Princess.

Who knew that Su Xinyi's happy face did not look fake at all. Her eyes were shining, and her expectant look was astonishing.

Zhu Chanyi heard a few words from Prince Rong and probably knew that no one would enter the East Palace, but when she heard Su Xinyi say this, she wanted to cover her mouth. Is it okay to say such words?

What if Concubine Li takes advantage of the situation?

Only the Queen's mouth twitched silently, and she glanced at Su Xinyi. She was also afraid that Concubine Li would really take the opportunity to cause trouble, so she immediately said: "Everyone, please sit down, His Majesty will be here soon."

Hearing this, Concubine Li knew that the Queen favored Su Xinyi, so she couldn't continue to find fault. Her seat was below the Queen, so she walked over and sat down.

Today's seating arrangement was different from the palace banquet. During the palace banquet, the princesses of each mansion followed their mother-in-law, but today, several ladies sat alone, and several princesses sat together. Only Su Xinyi, the Crown Princess, sat at the head of the princesses, very close to the Queen. When she looked up, she could just see Concubine Li opposite.

According to the order of seniority, after Su Xinyi, it was Ji Yun. Tu Jingjia was unable to come today. After Ji Yun, it was Zhu Chanyi, and after Zhu Chanyi, it was You Xiangru.

Su Xinyi had heard Nanny She mention that there were no seats for the princesses, but Concubine Li said, why can the Crown Princess come, but the princesses can't?

Since each mansion has to bring people in, the princesses have to come and choose in person, right? The Queen thought so, so she asked the princesses to come into the palace.

Su Xinyi looked at Concubine Li calmly. Concubine Li's advice was not well-intentioned. First there was Pei Huiran, then there was Yan Ruixue. She was just waiting to see the fun.

Soon, His Majesty arrived with several sons. Everyone stood up to welcome him. The Crown Prince, the princes and the queen greeted each other. After they sat down, Su Xinyi sat next to His Majesty the Crown Prince. She rolled her eyes and put away the smile she had shown to Concubine Li before, pretending to be smiling.

Yan Junchu: ...

My Crown Princess's ability to change her face has become more and more sophisticated from the people in the harem.

Su Xinyi noticed that her fingers were pinched by the people around her, so she held His Majesty's palm in reverse. Maybe it was because they had just come from outside the palace, and it was a bit cold. The two hands, one warm and one cold, were clasped together under the cover of the wide sleeves.

The Queen was talking to His Majesty about the selection. The Emperor nodded slightly and said to the Queen: "Thank you for your hard work, Queen. I still have things to do. Let's start now."

The Queen agreed and asked people to send the beauties into the palace in batches.

This was the first time Su Xinyi had seen a formal selection in the palace. She thought it was quite interesting. The beauties from all over Southern Qi were all willow-browed and peach-cheeked, thin and plump, and beautiful in their own unique ways.

The Queen watched His Majesty look at a woman more, and then she told His Majesty about the origins of the beauties. The Emperor had a blank expression on his face. He looked at them five or six times in a row and didn't keep any of them.

Su Xinyi:...

This vision is really a bit high. She thinks every little beauty is beautiful.

Yan Junchu looked at his Crown Princess sideways. I don't know if it was because she knew that the Eastern Palace would not admit people, but now she was more interested in beauties than anyone else present.

Yan Junchu could feel that his father looked at him differently.

At this moment, the emperor was really scolding his son for being useless. He already had a wife and children, so why did she seem more excited than the prince at the beauty pageant today?

No wonder the prince asked him not to let new people into the East Palace. Although the emperor did not mean to upset Su Chun's daughter, and Su Xinyi's temperament was really different from that of ordinary women, he was thinking that after a few years, when Su Xinyi and the prince's relationship deepened and their legitimate son grew up, he would give the prince another person. By then, Su Xinyi probably wouldn't mind.

However, it was clearly not the case now. Why was his daughter-in-law happier than his son?

The emperor fell into silence. This was completely different from what he expected.

So, the prince still failed to tie the princess' heart, so the princess was more interested in beauties than the prince?

This was not okay.

The emperor had a headache. He had never seen a woman like Su Xinyi.

The emperor was very upset. He was not in the mood to look at beauties. His son was useless, and he, as a father, had no glory on his face.

After watching several rounds, His Majesty's expression became more and more ugly, and no one was left.

The Queen felt that this was not okay. If no one in the harem was left, wouldn't it be her, the Queen, who was not virtuous?

So, the Queen looked at the Emperor and said gently, "Your Majesty, what do you think of Zhao Xiunu?"

The Emperor's mind was full of things in the East Palace. When he heard the Queen suddenly say this, the Emperor's face was not strange, and he said directly: "If the Queen thinks it's good, keep it."

The Queen's expression did not change, and she said to the eunuch in charge: "Keep the card."

Zhao Ying was full of surprise. No one was left in the previous rounds. She thought she had no chance, but she didn't expect that she would be left after a sudden turn of events?

Zhao Ying immediately stepped forward to thank the grace, took the jade card with both hands, and suppressed her joy and retreated with everyone.

The next round of people came in, Su Xinyi glanced, and suddenly saw a woman who looked a bit like Pei Nianwei. Her heart moved, and she thought that this person was probably Pei Huiran.

Pei Huiran and Pei Nianwei look different. Pei Huiran looks more majestic, and you can tell from her demeanor that she must have practiced hard.

From her side, she can't see the injuries on Pei Huiran's face. It's probably on the other side. She can still be so calm even with flaws on her face, which is better than her sister Pei Nianwei.

Just thinking about it, she heard Concubine Li say, "Miss Pei's face is better?"

Su Xinyi thought that she was right. It was Pei Huiran.

Pei Huiran knelt slightly in the direction of Concubine Li and said, "Thank you for your concern, my injury has improved a lot."

Concubine Li said, "That's good. A girl's face is the most important thing. Queen, don't you think so?"

After hearing this, the queen glanced at Concubine Li, chuckled, and replied: "What the concubine said is that girls really need to take care of their appearance." After saying that, she turned to look at Your Majesty, sighed slightly, and said She spoke with some pity, "The accident on Shangyuan Festival hurt Miss Pei. Concubine Ruan Ming has been feeling very sorry. She has already begged the concubine in private and wants to beg Your Majesty to designate Miss Pei to King Wu as his concubine."

Su Xinyi immediately sat up straight, glanced at Concubine Li's face, and saw that her expression changed slightly. She did not look at Ji Yun beside her, but she could also feel that Ji Yun's breathing was quickening.

Oops, it seems that Ji Yun didn't know that Pei Huiran would enter Prince Wu's Mansion, which is interesting.

Concubine Ruan Ming hated this daughter-in-law so much that she didn't even inform her about such a big event in advance.

Even if the Ji family didn't fall, Pei Huiran's background surpassed that of Ji Yun, not to mention that the Ji family has fallen now.

Pei Huiran really entered Prince Wu's Mansion, and Ji Yun's future life would be really sad.

Concubine Li was a little anxious. She didn't wait for Your Majesty to speak before she said, "Empress, Concubine Wu and Concubine Rong had a dispute that day, which hurt Miss Pei. Could it be that the Empress disliked Miss Pei and hurt her face?" So you don’t want her to enter Prince Rong’s palace? Or is it because Princess Rong is unhappy?”

Zhu Chanyi's face turned cold. She tried not to speak, but she was furious. She knew that Concubine Li would not settle this matter easily.

The emperor glanced at Concubine Li, then looked at the queen, "Queen, what do you say?"

The Queen smiled and said, "Returning to Your Majesty, I like Miss Pei very much, but Princess Wu likes Miss Pei even more. She has greeted Mrs. Wu'an Hou early, and Concubine Ruan Ming asked for permission, so I naturally You can’t take away what others like.”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the queen had told her about this before. He looked at Princess Wu very dissatisfied. Ji Gang's daughter was really unkind, and King Wu had chosen her for some reason.

The emperor couldn't reprimand Princess Wu in front of everyone. Wouldn't this make King Wu unable to step down? He had to say with a straight face: "Since Princess Wu asked for it, let's let it be settled."

Ji Yun's eyes went dark, and he had to endure it to avoid fainting.

Although Concubine Li expected that things would not go well, she did not expect that His Majesty would let the Queen get her wish so easily, and her face naturally did not look good.

When the next round of show girls came in, Su Xinyi couldn't hold back the smile on her face when she saw Yan Ruixue.
