The moment the King of Shu placed the plum blossom in front of Jiang Si, the scene suddenly became quiet.

And he woke up in this extraordinary silence.

What did he do?

Yes, he followed his man's instinct and placed Lumei in front of the most beautiful girl in the audience.

There is some shame, but more regret. However, no amount of regret can change the fact that it was caused by a momentary impulse.

Although the King of Shu was in turmoil, he managed to keep his composure. He raised his hand, touched his nose lightly, and walked back.

There are still five plum blossoms left to give to five girls. This momentary impulse is nothing.

Despite this, the King of Shu still glanced at Concubine Zhuang out of the corner of his eye, and saw her face suddenly become gloomy.

At this time, Concubine Zhuang was indeed a little confused.

She never expected that her son, who had always been smart and calm, would do such a shocking thing.

How could he give Lumei to the girl who had broken off the engagement with the Duke of Dongping!

After the shock comes the rage.

The angry son was blinded by lust, and the angry concubine was mentally ill and sent an invitation to the girl from the Dongping Marquis's mansion.

All kinds of emotions were expressed on her face, but there was only a hint of calmness and deep eyes. Living in the palace for many years had already made Concubine Zhuang, a woman in a high position, very skilled in this skill, and she could not show her emotions on her face.

Fortunately, among the six candidates for the princess, she was finally chosen as the princess.

The noble ladies watched the King of Shu walk back, feeling disappointed, surprised, depressed, confused, and all kinds of emotions intertwined in their hearts. In the end, they were left with only bitterness: Just because Miss Jiang was born beautiful, the King of Shu gave the first plum blossom to her? This is really unfair. What's the use of beauty? Can it be used to eat, drink, manage the household, or to be a helper to the husband?

Nothing at all, just a natural appearance!

The ladies felt very uncomfortable thinking this, and they tossed the handkerchiefs in their hands here and there, almost torn them into tatters.

At this moment, Yu Jin just wanted to fly over and kick the King of Shu in the chest.

How dare that bastard Lao Liu covet his wife!

Yes, Ah Si is good in everything. This bastard has good taste. But no matter how good his taste is, he can't covet my brother's wife. He is simply heartless!

As the King of Shu approached, Yu Jin gradually calmed down.

Logically speaking, the King of Shu's move was a good thing for him.

He believed that Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Xian were the same kind of people, and would be very upset to see that her son gave the plum blossom to Ah Si. In this way, when he announced that he had chosen Ah Si, Concubine Zhuang would certainly add fuel to the fire.

Ah, still angry.

Why do those blind people despise Ah Si? They will regret it one day!

The hands hanging at his sides were clenched tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hands, but Yu Jin's face was cold and indifferent.

He wanted to see how the King of Shu would commit suicide next. If the second plum blossom was returned to Asi, he really couldn't bear it.

Watching his beloved being picked over and over by other men, Yu Jin deeply realized what it meant to have to endure like a knife in one's heart.

This feels so fucking bad.

The King of Shu came to face Yu Jin, smiled at him and gestured: "It's the seventh brother's turn."

"No need, Sixth Brother can choose one together." Yu Jin said lightly.

The King of Shu declined: "How can this be possible?"

It was proper for the two of them to take turns choosing. If he gave away all six plum blossoms in one go, it would seem that the King of Yan was picking up the ones left over.

This is inappropriate. If word gets out, people will think he is too overbearing.

Yu Jin smiled and said, "Why bother with so much trouble? Sixth Brother should make the choice first and then I can choose. It's too lazy to get up and sit down again and again."

Seeing that he insisted, the King of Shu had no choice but to agree.

Yu Jin watched coldly as the King of Shu returned to the palace maid holding the flowers, pulled out a second green plum blossom and walked towards the noble lady. Finally, he placed the plum blossom in front of Kou Lingbo, the girl from Shouchun Marquis's mansion. Only then did the anger in his chest subside a little.

Kou Lingbo stared at the green plums in the white jade plate in front of him, lowered his eyes slightly, and blushes gradually appeared at his ears.

The King of Shu stared at the delicate earlobe of the girl, and the beautiful yet indifferent face flashed through his mind. He laughed in his heart: Forget it, no matter how beautiful the girl from the Dongping Marquis's Mansion is, an icy beauty is not interesting.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweep in the direction where Jiang Si was.

A rose-red blouse, a plain white skirt, a slender and measured silhouette, and an exquisite profile.

The King of Shu's self-consolation was instantly shattered.

He lied. The Ice Beauty was very interesting! But he just couldn't have her. He was just deceiving himself.

The King of Shu, who had regained his sanity, sighed in his heart and smiled, "You two ladies' performance just now really amazed me. I will give you these two plum blossoms. I think you two ladies and the other ladies will not scold me for having poor taste."

He said it so frankly, and the talents displayed by Jiang Si and Kou Lingbo were indeed the most stunning among the noble ladies present, which made his act of giving the first plum blossom to Jiang Si not so intriguing.

Concubine Zhuang's expression was calm, with a smile flashing in her eyes.

She knew her son was reliable.

Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows, feeling quite regretful.

I thought it would be a joke, but who knew it wouldn't work out.

Concubine Xian has always been wary of Concubine Zhuang.

Although she entered the palace later than her and was not very pretty, she won the emperor's favor just by being able to recite a few lines of poetry, and her popularity has remained until now.

It was a great pity that she had not seen Concubine Zhuang's jokes for many years.

The King of Shu picked up the third plum blossom, looked around, hesitated for a moment, and placed the flower on a white jade plate in front of a noble lady.

The noble lady who received the green plum was delighted, but she tried her best to suppress her joy.

The other noble ladies felt jealous when they saw that the noble lady's family background was not top-notch and her appearance was not outstanding: It was OK that the King of Shu gave the green plum blossom to the dancing Kou Lingbo and the beautiful Miss Jiang, but why could someone else also get the plum blossom?

By comparison, someone is not as good as me.

Thinking of this, the women became excited again.

Since the King of Shu could gift the plum blossom to a noble lady who was mediocre in every aspect, doesn't it mean that everyone has the opportunity?

As the ladies were looking forward to it, the King of Shu gave out the remaining three plum blossoms.

The noble lady who received the plum blossoms was overjoyed, while the noble lady who did not receive the plum blossoms was disappointed.

Yu Jin stood up and took out a green plum from the flower basket of the palace maid in front of her.

The women immediately put away their emotions and waited nervously to see to whom the King of Yan would give the first plum blossom.

Generally speaking, a noble lady who has received the green plum will not receive the plum blossom from King Yan. So among the remaining noble ladies, six will receive the plum blossom, and everyone has a good chance.

Yu Jin strode towards Jiang Si.

"Please accept it, Miss Jiang." The young man holding a flower with a smile put the green plum on the jade plate in front of Jiang Si.

The women were slightly startled, Concubine Xian's smile froze a little, but the King of Shu smiled with understanding after being surprised.

If you are a man, who doesn’t want to stand at the highest position and sleep with the most beautiful woman?

Yu Jin looked at Jiang Si deeply, turned back, pulled out the second plum blossom and walked towards the girls again.

All the girls thought at the same time: Could it be that King Yan would also give the second plum blossom to Miss Kou?

It makes sense that the two princes gave the two plum blossoms to the two girls who performed the best.

Amid all the speculation, Yu Jin stopped in front of Jiang Si again and put down the plum blossom with a smile: "Please accept it, Miss Jiang."
