Chapter 2 The Crown Princess 2
One month later,
On this day, at the pilgrimage temple.
In the center of the main hall stood row upon row, ten rows of men with outstanding looks and extraordinary bearing.
These men were all the eligible, unmarried men from the households of the ministers of the Luo Dynasty.
The Empress summoned them so that Luo Xi and three other princesses of similar age could choose their ideal husbands.
Luo Xi is the Crown Princess, so naturally she gets to choose first.
Luo Xi stood up and walked down.
Everyone else stood properly and very reservedly.
There was only one person who was particularly "lively," and Luo Xi couldn't help but notice him.
This man is Pei Huai, the youngest son of General Pei.
When Pei Huai saw Luo Xi come down, he stared at her intently, hoping that she would choose him as her royal consort.
As Luo Xi passed by him, he even winked at her in a very proactive way.
It would have been one thing if he had just blinked, but he also whispered to Luo Xi, "Your Highness, Your Highness, choose me, choose me, okay?"
"I'm super obedient."
People around:
obedient?
Pei Huai truly had no "understanding" of himself whatsoever; he was completely unrelated to the word "obedient."
He was involved in almost every fight and brawl. His exploits were well-known in the capital.
Him? Obedient? Who would believe that!
Luo Xi: "........."
She wouldn't listen to me.
Finally, Luo Xi walked past Pei Huai and went back.
Pei Huai was extremely disappointed; he stood there dejectedly.
Luo Xi looked at them from all angles, but she still felt that Pei Huai was more to her liking.
Finally, Luo Xi walked up to Pei Huai again.
When Pei Huai saw Luo Xi standing in front of him again, his eyes lit up several degrees, and the corners of his mouth even curled up slightly.
After looking around and choosing, does the Crown Princess still think he is the best and the most suitable for her?
Luo Xi stared at Pei Huai for a long while.
She thought that if Pei Huai had a tail, it would be wagging happily right now...
She looked at the Empress, pointed at Pei Huai, and said, "Mother, let's choose him."
Luo Xi didn't dislike Pei Huai. Besides, his family background was quite good.
Although people are... a bit slow, they are still easier to control than those who are smart.
Pei Huai had absolutely no idea what kind of person he was in Luo Xi's heart; he was still grinning happily.
The more I look at it, the sillier it seems...
Empress: !!!
She glanced at Luo Xi, then at Pei Huai, who was grinning somewhat foolishly. Finally, she looked at Luo Xi, hesitant to speak, "Xi'er, are you... are you sure you want to choose him?"
Pei Huai: "........."
His smile froze when he heard the Empress's words.
What's wrong with him? He's very capable, okay?
He stared intently at Luo Xi.
She absolutely mustn't change her mind.
Luo Xi: "Yes, it's him."
The Queen remained silent for a long while, and finally, she nodded.
Pei Huai's tense heart finally relaxed.
It scared him to death.
He was terrified that the Empress would not allow the Crown Princess to choose him as her husband.
Other princesses: !!!
Pei Huai?
He's notorious for causing trouble.
Luo Xi chose him to be her imperial consort?
Isn't she afraid that he will turn her Eastern Palace upside down?
However, they were happy to see it happen.
After Luo Xi made her choice, it was the eldest princess Luo Yan's turn to choose.
Luo Yan went straight to Li Yang, the second son of Prime Minister Li.
"Mother Queen, I choose him."
When the Empress saw that Luo Yan had chosen Li Yang, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Then she nodded.
The other two princesses looked rather displeased when they saw that their favorite consorts had been chosen by Luo Yan.
Finally, the third and fourth princesses respectively chose the eldest son of Grand Tutor Song and the second son of Minister Li as their consorts.
