Chapter 660 Oh
As long as the beauties from all over the country met the requirements, they went to the imperial city one after another.
Because of the long distance, I can’t celebrate the New Year at home.
The main reason was that many beautiful ladies from the prefectures and counties had to leave half a year in advance in order to keep up with the trends in the imperial city. They had to go and see what was popular there.
It was the end of November when the eldest daughter of the Ye family entered the imperial city.
She went shopping with her maid, looking at the new things in the imperial city.
"After all, it is more lively and luxurious than ours."
"Yes, miss, look at the clothes that people wear on the street. They are so exquisite. We should find a reliable shop to make some clothes for them."
The Ye family now has property in the capital, so they can live in their own home when they come.
It’s just that most of the family members are not here, which is also the cleverness of the Ye family.
After Empress Dowager Ye passed away, they returned to their hometown one after another.
Ye Lingzhen nodded: "Okay, but there's no need to rush, we have our own shop. We should take a good look at what people are wearing, we should look at people of the same age."
"There's no need to rush. There will surely be banquets held in other mansions later. You will know everything when you attend one of them." The girl said with a smile.
Sure enough, a few days later, the second princess held a plum blossom viewing banquet.
There was a patch of plum blossoms in her princess mansion, and they were in full bloom.
She invited many noble girls who had just arrived in the imperial city, and also invited all the princes.
After the eldest princess gave birth to her eldest daughter, she has now recovered. Not only did she come by herself, she also brought her fourteen-year-old sister-in-law.
The second princess did not favor one over the other and brought the daughter of Han Yue's elder sister.
But the girl is only eight years old, she just came here to take a look and gain some experience.
The Second Princess was of noble status, so naturally everyone would give her face when she held a banquet.
Everyone arrived early, and soon the princess's mansion became lively.
The boys are now chatting and playing with the prince consort in the front yard. When the time comes, they will go to the garden at the back together.
The second princess likes plum blossoms, and half of the garden at the back is covered with plum blossoms.
It is so beautiful at this time.
The second princess appeared in a bright red dress embroidered with gold and a phoenix holding a treasure. She had her hair in a high bun and her hair was naturally adorned with precious and gorgeous pearls and jade.
She has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and her demeanor is dignified yet lively.
Ever since she got married, many people knew that the second princess was of noble birth but had a playful personality.
The prince consort was also happy to play along, and in less than a year, he had already traveled all over the imperial city.
There are also wonton soup stalls where two people can eat together late at night.
Knowing this, the ladies and grandmothers who came today will have an idea that the second princess doesn't like to be rigid and old.
After greeting each other and taking their seats, someone asked, "I know those people in front of the princess, the second prince's wife, the third prince's wife, but who is that woman? She looks like she is from the royal family."
"Hey, don't you know this? This is Princess Wei. They just got married in October. Did you see that child? That was brought by Princess Wei."
"Oh my, although this second marriage is nothing, but this... Prince Wei is still young, this is really..."
"Keep your voice down. After all, the current Prince is different from the past. The Emperor values this one very much."
"That's right, the emperor didn't say anything and even personally granted the marriage. Maybe Xie is a good woman."
"That's right. To this day, the Yu family still gets red-eyed whenever they talk about the Xie family. They say the Xie family is great and their Yu Zhi is a bastard."
Several ladies were talking in low voices.
Soon, the prince consort and his entourage arrived.
The leader is naturally His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Qi Yan came over and smiled: "We are late, so we asked the second sister and everyone to wait."
The second princess laughed at him: "What's so fun in front? There are so many beautiful girls here, why don't you take a look?"
Everyone hurriedly stood up and paid their respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the princes.
"No need to be polite. Today is my second sister's flower-viewing party. Don't worry about me." Qi Yan still didn't really call himself the king.
"Since you said so, let me arrange everything today." The second princess said with a smile.
"Of course. This is not a court session. Second sister is the most beautiful and she has the final say." Qi Yan said with a smile.
The second princess laughed out loud at the praise.
"Okay, then don't waste today. Let the ladies of each family see the abilities of you guys. You are all going to get married, so if you don't have the ability, it won't work."
As she spoke, she asked someone to bring pens, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as a lot of other things.
"We have to appreciate the flowers, but we also have to have the skills."
Everyone responded with a smile.
Today's move is actually to ask all parties to prepare before the draft.
To be precise, the selection process in the Dayi Dynasty was quite relaxed.
For example, if a girl is engaged, she can participate in the beauty pageant if she wants to, as long as her partner is not dead or she is sick.
Of course, the royal family generally still has to choose, and people like this usually can't reach high positions.
The girls also boldly looked at the young boys of the royal family.
Not only those in the royal family, but also the tutors of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the tutors of the princes.
There are also young princes and young masters in the royal family.
When everyone was free to enjoy the flowers, the brave ones dared to go up to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Ye Lingzhen also went there. She was curious about who the Crown Prince was.
Before coming to the imperial city, her family told her that she might be here to compete for the position of Crown Princess.
So, she was very curious.
Qi Yan was polite to the girls, but he was the crown prince after all, so after the girls paid their respects, he did not dare to say much.
The same goes for Ye Lingzhen.
She thought to herself, I heard that the Crown Prince looks like the Emperor? So this is what the Emperor looks like.
Qi Yan was naturally reminded and saw Ye Lingzhen.
He smiled and said, "It looks good."
Ye Lingzhen is indeed prettier than Pei Jun. She has a small face the size of a palm, and her eyebrows and eyes are curved when she smiles.
But it can also be seen that he is not a soft-hearted person.
It is no longer the case in the past. The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince no longer dare to get ahead of the Crown Prince.
No one can stop my father from favoring the Ye family.
The flower viewing banquet ended perfectly that day.
In the evening, Han Yue talked to the princess.
"I see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also satisfied with Ye."
"I guess he is satisfied. Father didn't like the girl from the Pei family. I guess he disliked her because she was not strong enough. He also felt that the girl from the Cui family was not suitable."
The girl from the Cui family is indeed too bookish.
"The Shen family, Concubine Jing herself is not happy. So we can only look for someone outside. The Ye family is suitable."
"Father loves the prince." Han Yue said.
"Yes, my father loves him very much. I heard from my mother that Concubine Jing said early on that no matter which family the prince belongs to, it depends on his own willingness."
"Didn't your mother treat you the same way?" Han Yue said with a smile.
The second princess laughed and said, "If I had let my father choose for me earlier, would I have met you?"
"Then elope when you meet me." Han Yue suddenly knocked the second princess to the ground.
