What else could the King of Shu say? He could only smile dryly and said, "Of course I don't mind."

He actually felt a little admiration for Yu Jin: Lao Qi was really trying hard for beauty.

As a man with normal body and mind, who doesn't want to marry a stunning woman? However, among the obligations a wife has to undertake, pleasing her husband is only the most insignificant one. Other duties include bearing children, managing the household, serving the parents-in-law... any one of them is more important than the former.

As a princess, she has even more to bear.

His princess must not only be beautiful.

Marrying a virtuous wife and taking a beautiful concubine is the choice a smart person should make.

Lao Qi took out his green plum blossom, which made him feel a little regretful but also relieved.

Marrying a lady from a high-class family would be in line with his mother's expectations and would also be in his best interest.

As for beauties, in the future I can naturally choose a few outstanding-looking concubines according to my heart.

Amid the sluggish and slow gazes of everyone in the room, Yu Jin leisurely returned to his seat and sat down.

Concubine Xian, who had stood up at some point, swayed slightly.

What did this bastard Lao Qi do?

She must be dreaming, otherwise how could she see such a ridiculous thing?

The tingling sensation in the palm of her hand brought Concubine Xian back to her senses, and her face turned pale as if water could drip from it.

It must be a dream. Not only did the bastard Seventh Brother do such a ridiculous thing, he also just went back and sat there as if nothing had happened. Does he really take his mother seriously?

She could already imagine that once today's plum blossom viewing banquet was over, she would immediately become a laughing stock inside and outside the palace, and would also bring shame to the Fourth Prince.

Concubine Xian was so angry that she was shaking, but she couldn't lose face in front of Concubine Zhuang. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Prince Yan, how can you act so recklessly in such an occasion?"

Attributing Yu Jin's astonishing behavior just now to the nonsense of a young man, Concubine Xian thought that if Yu Jin had any common sense, he would know how to step down.

Concubine Xian stared at Yu Jin, her eyes burning with warning.

Yu Jin stood up and laughed loudly at Concubine Xian: "Your Majesty, you are joking. I am not a child anymore. How could I act so foolishly in such a serious situation?"

Concubine Xian bit her lip hard and said word by word, "There are so many girls here who are all gifted by heaven, and the talent show just now was also outstanding. You gave all six plum blossoms to Miss Jiang alone, which is not fair to the other girls."

Yu Jin smiled.

The handsome young man with a cool and clean temperament, coupled with the astonishing action just now.

All the women had to admit that the Prince of Yan was extremely charming.

Is there anything more attractive than a man who is good in every aspect but disdains all other women and only loves one person?

Ji Fanghua looked at the women's reactions coldly, resting her chin on her hand and silently rolling her eyes.

These fools, no matter how good a man is, if he has his eyes on someone else, what does it have to do with you even if he has a thousand good qualities?

What's more, her cousin is just annoying. What's so good about him?

Speaking of which, her third brother is also quite annoying. After all, he is not as interesting as Miss Jiang.

Yu Jin smiled, the sound was neither loud nor soft, but it was particularly clear to the ears of the girls.

He almost sighed as he said, "My Lady, how can there be absolute fairness in this world?"

Concubine Xian was stunned and couldn't express her feelings for a moment.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of a lot of things.

For example, the fourth child who carried all her expectations, and the seventh child who made her wish she had never been born...

No matter how unreliable Lao Qi is, he is right when he says: There is no absolute fairness in this world.

Yes, it was so unfair. She gave birth to two princes, one of whom made the emperor seriously ill at birth. As a result, she not only did not enjoy the glory of having two princes, but was instead subjected to much ridicule and neglect.

Until now, it is worse than Concubine Zhuang who only has one prince and is favored by the emperor.

Yu Jin spread his hands, calmly and frankly: "I think it is most appropriate for me to give these green plums to Miss Jiang. If I give them to other girls for the sake of fairness, wouldn't that be a violation of my conscience? In fact, it would be unfair to other girls, right?"

He paused for a moment and said loudly: "In my opinion, this is not fair, but ridiculous."

Choose a concubine, choose a concubine, choose your sister's concubine, why should his wife be decided by others? He insisted on giving all six green plums to Ah Si, there were no other candidates, let's see how Concubine Xian chooses.

Xian Fei was so angry that her face turned blue: "What is ridiculous? Is this a banquet for selecting talented women? This is a banquet for selecting concubines!"

In a rage, Concubine Xian couldn't help but tear off the fig leaf that veiled the plum blossom viewing banquet.

The women immediately lowered their heads and their cheeks flushed.

Normally, they are all pampered ladies. Even if they are chosen by the royal family, they will still be embarrassed once the truth is revealed.

Yu Jin raised his eyebrows, pretending to be surprised, and then smiled: "If that's the case, then there's no need for me to give the six green plums to the six girls. After all, I'm only one person, and I don't need six wives."

Ji Fanghua couldn't help laughing, and quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, pretending nothing had happened.

Jiang seemed to lower his eyelids to hide the smile in his eyes.

Probably only Yu Qi and his family can make such ridiculous arguments with such self-righteousness.

The women nodded subconsciously after listening to Yu Jin's twisted logic, and then they realized something was wrong: Why are they nodding? The position of Princess Yan hasn't even been decided yet, and it's gone just like that!

Concubine Xian was also dumbfounded, feeling as if she was forced into a desperate situation.

It was unheard of that only one person was chosen at the concubine selection banquet.

If this happened to someone else, she might just laugh it off, but when it happened to her own son, it wasn't so pleasant.

But in such a situation, I couldn't completely break off relations and teach Old Seven a lesson.

Concubine Xian seemed to have been hit by a club. She was so angry that she couldn't vent her anger. She clenched her hands and said, "It's true that you only need a wife, but marriage is always decided by parents and matchmakers, and the royal family is no exception. How can the position of the princess be decided directly by you? This matter still needs to be discussed carefully between me and your father."

Yu Jin was surprised and aggrieved: "My father promised me that my future consort would be happy and contented with me, and my mother also promised the same thing. Why is it that what she promised is different now?"

Concubine Xian paused, her whole body shaking with anger, and she felt as if her heart, liver and lungs were cramping.

The Seventh Old Man was such a bastard, no wonder he came to the palace for the first time that day, it turned out he was setting a trap for her!

Not only was the trap set for her, the foolish emperor had already fallen into it!

When Emperor Jingming was brought up, Concubine Xian was speechless for a moment.

With the emperor's nod, she could choose any noble lady except the girl surnamed Jiang. If the Seventh Lady said she was not satisfied, wouldn't she be put on the fire?

Concubine Xian subconsciously looked towards Jiang Si.

The girl in the red shirt and plain skirt made her feel as if she saw the most beautiful woman in the capital in the past.

Absolutely not!

Even if I have to lose some face today, I can't let the Seventh Brother force me to choose a girl named Jiang as my daughter-in-law!
