With Hu Fei's constant persuasion, Zhuzhu got married soon and became pregnant three months earlier than Wenyu.

Now, the two of them had more topics to talk about, and they would talk endlessly whenever they saw each other. Even if they didn't see each other every day, they would send their maids to send things to each other.

Hu Fei really treated Zhuzhu as a treasure, and everything he ate and used was extremely luxurious. Moreover, everything was in duplicate, so Wen Yu benefited a lot from it. Her health was not bad, and she was only uncomfortable for half a month, and then everything was back to normal.

Unable to let go of Jiang Pingting, he looked for Zhuzhu, wanting to take her to watch the talent show together and support Jiang Pingting.

"Once we go there, any pretty lady will be compared to a lump of dirt." Wen Yu said arrogantly.

Zhuzhu nodded and said, "That's right, we can't let them get too arrogant!"

So Wen Yu took Zhu Zhu with her. The two young pregnant women, dressed in gorgeous clothes, were glowing. Qi Wu and Hu Fei were still worried, so they got a bunch of people to follow them.

With this, how could he not be able to calm the situation? In the end… he failed to calm the situation!

After Wen Yu paid her respects to the Empress Dowager and the Queen, she sat down and looked at the beauties displaying their talents below. At a glance, she saw the two of them.

He could not help but turn around and ask the Queen softly: "Where did this come from?"

Jiang Pingting chuckled and whispered back, "The one on the left is Guo Baihui, and her grandfather once worked with my grandfather. After Lord He left, there was a lot of demand for her to join the cabinet. The one on the right is Feng Shu, and her great-grandmother was the Princess of Jianye, and her great-grandfather was the Marquis of Jingping. They are both dead now, but her grandfather and father were also capable."

"This really proves the saying: Keeping her in the boudoir, unknown to the world!" Wen Yu murmured.

The Empress Dowager didn't come during the initial election, and today was her first time sitting here. At this moment, everyone was thinking: Such a person of character and appearance has never been seen or heard of in the social circles of the capital. It seems that the family deliberately hid it when the situation was unclear.

Now that the new emperor is young and secure in his seat, he should let them go to fight for the future of the family. No wonder the selection of concubines could not be suppressed. I guess these old foxes must have been instigating them behind the scenes!

Wen Yu shook her head secretly: Old fox! It seems that her two moves are shallow after all! Looking closely: Guo Baihui looks like a beautiful flower in the world. Her skin is delicate and white, as if she has never been exposed to the sun. She has thick hair and three-part and five-part eyes, which are very well-proportioned. She has a gentle smile on her face and clear and pure eyes. She holds a pen in her hand, revealing a white wrist, which is chubby. She is actually a small-boned body with flesh.

Most importantly, he is also very good at painting peonies. The colors are bright, the petals are full... the painting is like the person.

Feng Shu...beautiful and quiet, with a temperament like an orchid, and her every move is in accordance with her nature, natural and unpretentious. "She plays the piano very well, and is also good at chess!"

Wen Yu was so shocked that she lost her confidence. "How about comparing with Yi Bai?"

The Queen gave her a reproachful look and said, "How many people in the world can compare with Yi Bai? Even the Emperor Retired dared not watch him play chess with Mr. Hu. It was too exhausting and he couldn't stand it!"

Having said that... these two women are different from me and Zhuzhu. They are really from a family with a solid background, cultivated with care and money!

Looking back, the girls who were originally good have been suppressed and have no color at all.

The Grand Empress Dowager was a discerning person. She thought: If this girl enters the palace and gives birth to a son, he will be a threat to Huanlang... No children have been born in the palace for many years, and she is at an age where she likes children the most. She treats Huanlang no worse than Jiang Pingting.

A few people watched today's content in a depressed mood and asked the showgirls to leave.

The Grand Empress Dowager did not regard Wen Yu and Zhu Zhu as outsiders, and directly said to Jiang Pingting: "Queen, if these two women enter the palace... I am afraid it will cause unrest. If you want them to be eliminated, I will do it for you, right?"

Zhuzhu nodded vigorously.

Wen Zhu thought: It would be okay to control things in advance.

But Jiang Pingting said, "Thank you for your consideration, Grandmother. However, since they are so outstanding, their reputations must have spread. If they are rejected like this, there will probably be people who say that we are fooling the emperor. Then, it will cause unnecessary trouble."

"But……"

"Grandmother, every generation has talented people. According to the rules, elections are held every four years. We don't know what will emerge in the future. Let nature take its course!"

The Empress Dowager sighed: It seems that only if her son is the emperor can she be safe! "This is the only way for now. Don't worry, with me here, no one can surpass our Huanlang!"

…

Li Qihuan finally saw the girl in the talent show.

Sure enough, the two outstanding ones made his eyes light up and he nodded with great satisfaction.

Now, he can do whatever he wants to a great extent, and this feeling is very pleasant! Thinking of having such a beautiful woman by his side soon, he is excited...

It would be nice if I could leave one for Qi Wu. However, they were born in good families, so they could only be concubines for Qi Wu. These two were not meant to be concubines! Except for me!

He glanced at the girls at the back, then turned and whispered to Jiang Pingting, "Queen, among those at the back, are there any daughters of fifth-rank officials who have good looks and talents?"

"Your Majesty, these girls are all outstanding. What do you think?"

"Oh. Originally, this selection would also choose a concubine or a concubine for the young men of the royal family."

"I know about this. I have consulted various governments before and have come up with some drafts." She looked down at the list in her hand: "How about you take a look?"

"No, no. Just follow the conditions I gave you just now. Just look at me."

Jiang Pingting was wondering, how could the emperor, who was so anxious and cautious, be more excited than seeing two beauties? Suspicious, she pretended to look at the crowd and said casually, "You mentioned some conditions, and there are some good ones. I just don't know who the emperor...specifically pointed out?"

Li Qihuan rolled his eyes: Humph, I won’t tell you!

"Point at me first!"

Seeing him like this, Jiang Pingting became more cautious and pointed at two of them.

But Li Qihuan was not satisfied: "She doesn't look that good!"

"No, no, change another one!"

Jiang Pingting smiled: "My eyesight is not as good as yours, but if you tell me who you want to give it to, it will be easier for me to look at it with a target in mind."

Li Qihuan was in extremely high spirits, his eyebrows were flying, his eyes were rolling around, and he had a constipated expression on his face, but he just refused to say anything.

"If we talk about the best, it's Miss Guo and Miss Feng. I just don't know if you are willing to let them go."

Li Qihuan thought: I am willing to do it, but their backgrounds are much higher than Wen Yu's, and it will be difficult to explain to the Guo and Feng families. The key in my heart is that if I don't tell them, it will be difficult to pick them. Tell them? My queen is Wen Yu's best friend, and it would be bad if I leaked the news in advance.

"No..." He answered, and then looked around the crowd again. Suddenly, he found a round-faced girl with two dimples when she smiled. She looked quite heroic. He pointed at her and asked quietly, "Who is that girl with a round face... the one wearing a narrow green skirt and wide-legged pants?"

Jiang Pingting said: "Her father is a fourth-rank loyal and brave general. The girl's name is Zhang Ruonan. She is a good swordsman!"

Li Qihuan touched his chin. This girl is not bad. She is heroic and simple. She is quite different from Wen Yu. If you can't beat her, then do the opposite! That's the idea! He smiled like a rat stealing oil.

Jiang Pingting understood that he was going to plot against Qi Wu and Wen Yu.

Sure enough, the emperor called Qi Wu and his wife and said seriously that he would choose one of the concubines to be Qi Wu's concubine. It just so happened that his wife was pregnant and there was no one to serve her.

Qi Wu was startled. Before Wen Yu could say anything, he shook his hands repeatedly: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I appreciate it. But I don't want this concubine!"

Li Qihuan's face darkened and he turned to look at Wen Yu: "Wen Yu, what did you say!?"

She said in a gentle tone: "Your Majesty. Since ancient times, the emperor has granted marriages, but not concubines. You are the emperor, and you have spoken, so I must obey. How about this, I will divorce Qi Yang and give up my position as the principal wife, and then you can grant me a marriage, okay?"

"Ayu!" Qi Wuxian was anxious: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Are you trying to scare me?" Li Qihuan narrowed his eyes, looking very majestic.

"I dare not. Isn't this just helping you to relieve your worries?!"

Li Qihuan looked at the Queen with gloomy eyes. The Queen lowered her eyelids slightly and pretended not to hear.

"If I really want to share your worries, you should take it back happily!"

Qi Wu looked unhappy: "Your Majesty, Ayu is pregnant, please don't let her worry!"

"What a joke! What's the rush? She's just a concubine. Are you planning to take no concubines in your lifetime?"

"Yes, he will never be able to take a concubine in this life!" Wen Yu raised her chin.

"You!" Li Qihuan had never expected that Wen Yu would dare to contradict him like this. "What are the seven reasons for divorce? Huh? Jealousy, you know? It's only natural for a man to take a concubine!"

"If a cow refuses to drink water, why do you force its head down? Ask it, does it agree?"

"I don't care whether he agrees or not. If I give you a reward, you should take it back happily."

You and I stumbled over each other...

Finally, Li Qihuan got anxious: "Wen Yu! Don't think you are fine! He married you out of helplessness. He told me that it didn't work out with Qin Lianyue, so it doesn't matter who he marries!"

"Your Majesty!" Qi Wu was shocked.

Jiang Pingting was also startled: "Your Majesty!"

When Wen Yu heard this, she stood up and looked at Qi Yang intently: "Qi Yang, did you say this?"

Everyone was shocked, and Li Qihuan was very proud, "Qi Yang, tell me, did you say that?!"

Qi Yang really did say that! But at that time, one, he had not yet developed feelings for Wen Yu. Another, he was entangled with the emperor in front of him and couldn't get away, so he just said something to fool him. This was a premise, but he was not good at speaking, and he couldn't explain it after saying "I" for a long time.

Wen Yu was furious now and left with her sleeves swung.

Qi Yang: “Ayu!” He went up and pulled her.

Wen Yu pushed him hard angrily and hit him again: "Let go!"

Li Qihuan stood up excitedly: "Why did you hit him?"

Qi Yang glared at the emperor angrily, "Ayu, I..." Seeing Wen Yu walking away without listening, he was afraid to use more force on her, so he didn't dare to pull her hard. But he didn't dare to let her walk like this, so he followed her happily: "Ayu, it's not like that... It's really not... Don't be angry, don't get yourself hurt by anger."

Li Qihuan pointed at their backs and said, "He... Look at this useless guy. What's the big deal? Let's divorce him, but he still wants to divorce her! That's enough for her! Qi Wu and I will decide!"

The Queen said calmly, "Your Majesty, Wen Yu is pregnant, and they are living a happy life together. Why do you have to interfere?!"

"What's wrong with her being pregnant? Who invited her? She was just given a concubine! Is it that serious? Look at her temper, she even hits people! Look at Qi Wu's lack of ability? Why should you be afraid of her?"

"Your Majesty, why are you afraid? Can't he just like her and care about her feelings?"

"You!" The emperor pointed at Jiang Pingting and said anxiously, "What do you mean by like or not? A man should build a career to support his family, while a woman should pass on the family line, respect the elderly and take care of the household! Like...what do you mean by like? Humph! No wonder you two are so close, you are a couple who don't know the rules!"

"Yes! I am not talented and well-educated, ugly and dull, and cannot handle this important task. Your Majesty, please choose someone else who is more capable!"

After saying this, the queen also left.
