Chapter 131 Cloud Feather CP Gong Shangjiao 8

"Come in."

Zheng Nanyi, dressed in a white undergarment, got out of bed. Fu Dong carried the clothes, and the maid behind her carried the shoes. The two entered the room.

The clothes and shoes were made by the palace embroiderers after the palace gates had obtained the bride's measurements well in advance.

After Fu Dong helped her get ready, someone brought her breakfast. The breakfast was light and simple, but it tasted quite good.

When the time for choosing a bride arrived, the head matron summoned all the brides to the main hall.

The brides, without makeup and wearing veils, were examined by doctors at the palace gates who took their pulses, assessed their health, and screened for hidden illnesses.

After the doctor finished taking their pulses, the brides took off their clothes, leaving only their white undergarments, and were assessed by the matrons. Afterward, they drank three bowls of secret medicine prepared by the palace to regulate their bodies.

Afterwards, the tokens were distributed. Zheng Nanyi looked at the gold token in her hand, then at Shangguan Qian's white jade token opposite her and Jiang Lili's white jade token beside her.

Shangguan Qian obtained the white jade token through her own schemes, while Jiang Lili was tricked by Zheng Nanyi.

The reason, of course, was her sudden, wicked idea, which also helped the other party evade the scheme of the Wufeng assassin.

After selecting their tokens, the brides dressed and left the hall.

Several brides gathered together to chat, while Yun Weishan sat on the stairs, staring blankly at the gold token in her hand.

Miss Song looked at the wooden token in her hand, then at Zheng Nanyi beside her, and said, "I really envy you. The young master will definitely choose you."

"No, not at all." Zheng Nanyi shook her head, looking at the woman approaching them with a half-smile.

Shangguan Qian walked to Yun Weishan's side and said softly, "Based on my understanding of Young Master Gong Huanyu, he will definitely choose you and not Miss Zheng. Miss Yun, don't worry."

"You know the young master very well?" Yun Weishan asked Shangguan Qian.

Miss Song glanced at Shangguan Qian and Yun Weishan and said coldly, "You're all here for the young master, so how could you not know beforehand? Stop pretending, okay?"

"Miss Yun, don't worry. Even if the young master chooses Miss Zheng, there's still Mr. Gong Er from the Gong family."

"Gong Shangjiao has reached the age to choose a spouse, and he will not have to wait for the next marriage selection. The prestige of Mr. Gong Er is no less than that of the young master."

“Miss Yun is definitely going to be the young master’s wife, right?” Shangguan Qian looked at Yun Weishan, a sharp glint in her eyes.

Yun Weishan remained expressionless, seemingly unconcerned about the outcome of the marriage selection. "I don't care. Mr. Gong Er is a very nice person."

Shangguan Qian rested her elbow on the railing, propping her chin up, her eyes cold and sharp. "No, you can't."

Yun Weishan asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Because... I like Mr. Gong Er."

Zheng Nanyi suddenly interjected, "I would suggest that Miss Shangguan choose someone else she likes."

Seeing the look in Shangguan Qian's eyes, Zheng Nanyi smiled and said, "Because Mr. Gong Er is mine."

"Is Miss Zheng also here for Mr. Gong Er?"

Shangguan Qian looked at Zheng Nanyi. She knew that the person who was replaced by another assassin under Han Yaqi was the second young lady of the Zheng family.

However, unexpectedly, the second young lady of the Zheng family had a completely different face. Clearly, the assassin's attempt to impersonate her had failed.

“That’s not right.” Zheng Nanyi extended her right index finger and shook it gently. “I didn’t come here for Mr. Gong Er. I entered the palace as Mr. Gong Er’s fiancée.”

It's just a formality due to the tradition of choosing a spouse within the palace; the elders, the Blade Master, and the young master all know about it.
