Helian Yu suppressed the urge to yawn, and when he came to his senses, the prince was thanking Helian Su.

Helian Yu was silent, turned around and tugged at Chang Zuo, "What happened just now?"

Chang Zuo replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty has appointed the daughter of the Minister of Rites as the Crown Prince's Consort."

Helian Yu nodded, suddenly realized what was happening, and jumped off the chair.

Daughter of the Minister of Rites.

Liu Qiyue! No?! Didn’t she lose the election?!

"Zhaoyang has any objections?" Helian Su raised his lips, with a hint of ridicule on his solemn face.

The concubines lowered their heads, vaguely feeling the shock on their faces.

The concubines were not surprised. Ever since Princess Zhaoyang returned to the palace, His Majesty's heart has been leaning towards her. As a result, the Crown Prince had to stand aside. I think it was because of her identity as the daughter of the late Queen that Princess Zhaoyang was so confident.

Helian Yu shook his head slightly, his eyes falling on Liu Qiyue who took a step forward, "No."

Sitting back in the chair, Helian Yu fiddled with the pearls on her body.

Although it was Helian Su who selected the concubine and also selected two concubines for the princes, the number of concubines Helian Su selected for the three princes was more than that he selected for himself.

After two hours, it was time for lunch, the palace selection was suspended, and the candidate girls went downstairs to eat.

Helian Yu finally got the chance to escape and jumped into Chang Zuo's arms, "Brother Chang Zuo, fly!"

Chang Zuo tore Helian Yu off his body and said, "Let's eat first. I'm hungry."

"I'm not hungry. Let's go to the Imperial Master's Mansion to eat."

"I'm hungry." Chang Zuo put his sword on his back and carried Helian Yu to the dining hall.

Helian Yu was silent, "Will you die if you starve for a while?"

"No." Chang Zuo kept walking, "But I don't want to starve."

"Brother Chang Zuo, look carefully, I am a princess."

"I know."

Helian Yu clenched his fist and smashed it towards Chang Zuo, grunting angrily, "Put me down."

Chang Zuo said expressionlessly: "You have short legs."

Helian Yu was so angry that her face turned red, "Chang Zuo! I'm going to ask Master to punish you! Make you sweep the streets!"

"Xiao Yu'er, next time you threaten someone, you have to threaten them with beatings, beheadings, or the extermination of all nine generations of their clan." At some point, Helian Chi came out from behind.

Chang Zuo nodded slightly. Helian Chi held a jade fan in his hand and raised it towards Chang Zuo, "Master Chang Zuo, there is no need to be polite."

Helian Yu looked at Helian Chi, "Fourth brother, didn't you go to eat?"

"Aren't you here to invite Xiao Yu'er to come along? The Crown Prince and the Second Prince are also waiting for you in the dining hall." Helian Chi stretched out his hand to Chang Zuo and took Helian Yu into his arms.

Helian Yu reluctantly took the jade fan from Helian Chi's hand and said, "It's so cold, why are you holding a fan to pretend to be romantic? Are you trying to compete with the Second Prince in terms of romanticism?"

Helian Chi raised his eyebrows, and there seemed to be a small hook at the end of his eye. "Xiao Yu'er, this is the jade bone fan that father just gave me. It was given by the emperor, saying that it was for the meritorious service in arresting Princess Zhaoyang."

Helian Yu silently stuffed the fan into Helian Chi's hand and said, "Humph."

Helian Chi carried Helian Yu to the dining hall, and the small garden next to the dining hall was temporarily converted into a dining hall.

The prince and the selected beauties sat in the dining hall of the palace, and in the small garden outside the palace were the beauties waiting for the palace selection in the afternoon.

At this time, the beauties in the small garden were all very polite, behaving in a proper and reserved manner, and trying their best to prepare themselves to be selected.

Helian Chi carried Helian Yu and strode into the dining room, putting her on a chair. "Xiao Yu'er must be hungry. It's a lot lighter to hold her. You need to eat more."

"What would Zhaoyang like to eat?" The prince looked at Helian Yu, fulfilling his responsibility as a brother. The eunuch who came up with the dishes in a gentle voice, the prince gave him a look, asking him to step back, and picked up another crab, "Would you like to peel a crab?"

Helian Yu nodded and looked at the prince rather embarrassedly. He was using his noble and slender hands to open the crab for her. "Thank you, brother prince."

"Xiao Yu'er, try this roasted deer tendon, it's good for your stomach." The second prince Helian Sheng picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks.

The second prince did have a reason, after all, he had something he wanted to ask his master for help.

The prince and Helian Chi, they definitely have a conspiracy!

Helian Yu picked up the serving chopsticks outside and first picked up dishes for the three princes, and then picked up dishes for the newly selected concubine who was sitting at the table.

"Eat, eat. I have to go see my master after lunch." Helian Yu quickened his eating speed.

"Xiao Yu'er, you and I are going the same way, so why don't I give you a ride?" The Second Prince Helian Sheng took the opportunity to speak, not caring about the suspicious looks from the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince.

"But isn't there a palace selection this afternoon?" Helian Yu blinked innocently and said with pity, "Second brother, you can't disobey the order, right?"

Helian Sheng opened his mouth and said, "Send Xiao Yu'er to the Imperial Master's Mansion and then return to the palace, we can catch up."

"Second brother, do you have something urgent to discuss with the Imperial Master?" Helian Chi looked over with a smile, his beautiful eyes trained on the concubine sitting with Helian Sheng, "Second brother, your plate is empty, why don't you serve me?"

Helian Sheng's face darkened slightly, the woman around him was not the one he wanted, but she had to enter his house. He knew what Helian Chi was reminding him of.

"Second brother, you don't look happy? Could it be that you don't like the choice made by father..."

"Fourth brother." Helian Sheng warned.

Helian Chi bent his lips and closed his mouth, and put a piece of pork tenderloin into Helian Yu's plate, "Try it, it's a new dish created by the imperial kitchen, it should suit your taste."

Helian Yu was eating in silence, not wanting to pay attention to Helian Chi and Helian Sheng who were about to quarrel.

The prince spoke at the right time to put an end to the conflict between the two.

As the only one at the table who was eating seriously, Helian Yu was the first to put down his chopsticks.

The prince helped her steady herself, and the young eunuch handed her a cup of tea for rinsing her mouth.

After rinsing his mouth, Helian Yu quickly saluted a few people and ran out of the hall.

Helian Yu was afraid of being caught, so as soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he called out to Chang Zuo: "Brother Chang Zuo! Brother Chang Zuo! Chang Zuo! Are you full?"

The aura is overwhelming.

In the dining hall, everyone had strange expressions on their faces, except Helian Chi, who couldn't help laughing.

"I'll go out and take a look."

"I'll go."

On the surface, the Crown Prince and Princess Zhaoyang are brothers from the same mother. Even if it is just on the surface, he cannot be less than the Fourth Prince.

Helian Chi did not grab it. He sat upright at the table and watched the prince leave the hall.

"Second brother, are you not in a hurry to send Xiao Yu'er away?" Helian Chi stabbed Helian Sheng again.

He naturally knew that the person Helian Sheng loved was of humble status, and he also knew of Helian Sheng's intention to change his fate.

However, he just couldn't stand Helian Sheng and instinctively hated his carefree nature, his ease, and the dominance of his mother's family.

"You——" Helian Sheng's eyes were slightly cold, "Fourth brother, I have no intention of competing with you for anything."

"Did you misunderstand, Second Brother? I just wanted to remind you." Helian Chi poured himself a glass of wine and raised it to Helian Sheng, "I said something inappropriate, so I will drink a glass as a punishment."

"Fourth brother!"

Helian Sheng wanted to stop him, but Helian Chi moved too quickly and the liquid had already gone down his throat.

"Spicy and mellow." Helian Chi chuckled and put down the wine glass. "If the medicine is like this, I'm afraid I won't be unhappy."

"Your Highness, drinking is harmful to your health." The concubine next to Helian Chi spoke and moved the wine pot away.

Helian Chi glanced at her, knowing what she was thinking, and pushed the wine glass away, "Indeed, drinking is harmful to the body."

Helian Sheng looked at him with a complicated expression. His crazy fourth brother actually liked to listen to women's soft words.
