Chapter 3535 Beauty?Matchmaker?
"Are you so sure that I'm interested? Tell me quickly, if I'm not interested in a penny later, be careful I'll pull your ears!" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

Da'an Wen Er smiled, coughed lightly, adjusted his tone on purpose, and said: "The first thing is that in two days, Luo Fengtang, the army protecting the country, will return to Beijing to report to the emperor."

"What? Your brother-in-law will be able to return to Beijing in a few days?" Yang Ruoqing's surprise score was even higher.

Da'an corrected with a smile, "Sister, the 'two days' I use here does not mean a few days, but two days in the precise sense."

In order to strengthen Yang Ruoqing's cognition, Da'an deliberately raised two fingers.

Yang Ruoqing happily stared at Da'an's two delicate fingers, the more she looked at it, the more cute the scissors hand gesture was!
"Great, if he doesn't come back, I will almost not recognize him." She joked.

Da'an also smiled, and at the same time, there was a trace of distress in his eyes.

The elder sister's words seem to be a joke, but the bitterness hidden behind this joke can only be understood by herself and the closest people around her.

"Sister, when you came from Nanmen Street in the capital, did you see that there were lights and festoons on that road?" Da'an asked again.

Yang Ruoqing recalled it carefully, then nodded.

"Yeah, the street is really clean, the tree trunks on both sides of the street, and the doorways of those shops are all hung with red silk and satin uniformly,"

"Xiaoduo, Xiaojie and the others also guessed whether this is a rich family's wedding, so the whole street is decorated like that, so festive!" she said.

Daan smiled.

"Two days later, my brother-in-law will park the army at a place hundreds of miles away from the capital, and then bring a team of guards into the capital to face the saint for a return."

"At that time, the city will be capitalized from Nanmen Street. This time, my brother-in-law will pacify the southwest, sweep away the local rebels, and give a heavy blow and warning to those neighboring countries that are about to move,"

"Neighboring countries once again bowed their heads and proclaimed their vassals, and sent protons and letters of surrender, gold, silver, jewelry, famous utensils, precious toys, beauties, etc., and accompanied my brother-in-law to Beijing to face the saint."

"Emperor Qi Long Yan is very happy, and ordered to reward brother-in-law. The Nanmen Street will be decorated with lanterns and festoons to welcome brother-in-law's triumphant return."

"Now all the people in the capital know the prestige of brother-in-law. Whether it's at the banquets of the ministers and dignitaries, or the poetry clubs of the students and Qingliu, or in the small and large circles of the capital, there are two things that are hotly discussed. Among them One is that my brother-in-law has made great contributions to pacification and returned triumphantly, as for the other..."

Yang Ruoqing's ears were pricked up just as she was listening, just like that cat.

Da'an suddenly stopped talking, which made her anxious, scratching her ears and cheeks.

"Your brother-in-law is now a man of the hour, and the appraisal has been completed. What about the other thing that attracted everyone's attention?" She hurriedly asked.

Da'an unhurriedly picked up the tea bowl beside him and took a sip.

"Well, Runrun has a good throat, so hurry up and talk after you're done!" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

Da'an smiled, moistened his throat, put down the tea bowl and sat up straight, and continued talking.

"This other matter has nothing to do with us in the slightest, but because it's a happy event for someone else's family, I heard that we have a chat after dinner." He said.

"Emperor Qi issued an imperial decree at the beginning of the year to choose a concubine for His Highness the Crown Prince. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has drawn up the criteria for selecting a concubine. The scope of selection will be in the capital, so as not to disturb the states and counties below."

"At that time, the decree was sent out at the end of the first month, and in mid-February, a thousand qualified girls signed up for the audition."

"After layers of screening and elimination, there are still fifty beautiful girls who are still being trained in the palace."

"Thirty of the fifty show girls will be eliminated by then, and the remaining 20 will be the finalists."

"At that time, the emperor and queen will choose the candidate for the crown princess, and after deliberation with the three elders of the cabinet, a decree will be given to marry her."

"The candidates for the two crown prince's side concubines will be decided by His Royal Highness the crown prince himself."

Hearing Da'an's words, Yang Ruoqing's eyes widened in surprise.

"Oh my god, isn't it too exaggerated to choose the crown princess?" she said.

"Choose three out of a thousand people. This is only the selection scope in the capital. If it is expanded to the lower states and counties, the admission ratio will be even more difficult than when you took the number one prize!" she said.

Of course, the appearance, knowledge, words, deeds and qualities of the Crown Princess and the two side concubines who have been screened out to outsiders must not be picked.

Moreover, the family background must be good, either a prince or nobleman, or a civil and military official, or a clean family from a clean family...

"Wow, there are so many beauties, Qi Xingyun is lucky!" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

In my mind, I couldn't help thinking that I was still a bachelor at the age of 26. I heard that His Royal Highness, who doesn't even have a bed warming maid in the mansion, will hug left and right, what kind of scene will it be?
The most difficult thing to bear is the grace of a beauty. He was not close to women in the past, but now he is rolling in a pile of fat and powder. He who is used to vegetarian food suddenly becomes greasy. Will he suffer from indigestion?
Where there are women, there is war, not to mention that these women are fighters among women, even if they look silly and sweet, they are also scheming inside.

They fight openly and secretly, and fight for favor, will Qi Xingyun be able to resist it?

Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing found it very interesting, hahaha...

If Qi Xingyun knew that she was brainstorming all kinds of embarrassing things about his marriage, how would he feel?

East Palace, in the Prince's study.

"Ah!"

A loud sneeze resounded through the study room, causing his hand to hold the pen to shake, and the ink on the pen tip fell and landed on the nose of the beautiful image drawn on the white paper in front of him.

Qi Xingyun raised his eyebrows as he looked at the ruined scroll of beauties in front of him.

"Eunuch An, how do you look at the beauty?" He asked the middle-aged eunuch standing beside him.

Hearing this, Eunuch An bowed and followed Qi Xingyun's guidance to look at the picture of a beauty spread out on the desk.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, the corner of Eunuch An's mouth twitched fiercely, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

The well-behaved beauty suddenly turned into a matchmaker with a mole on her nose.

"Your Highness, this, this..." Eunuch An didn't know how to speak.

This picture scroll, together with several other picture scrolls on the desk that I haven't had time to open to see, was sent over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The twenty beauties in the picture scrolls are all beautiful women selected by the emperor for His Highness the Crown Prince. The future crown princess and two side concubines are all in the twenty picture scrolls, but the candidates have not yet been determined.

"This girl looks more suitable to be a matchmaker, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent her picture scroll to the wrong place?"

Beside the desk, Qi Xingyun leaned lazily on the grand master's chair, lightly tapping the armrest of the grand master's chair with his fingers, with a teasing tone.
