C217 Internally selected candidates (1/2)

Of course, no one dared to speak carelessly to him. If she were to speak carelessly, the empress might even change her hat. No one dared to take risks with the previous empress's matters. It was practically a forbidden language within the palace, and it was a sore point for the emperor.

”It really is the same old.” It really is the same old. Beside Mu Ru Yue, Feng Chen said calmly. However, she couldn't hide the disgust in her eyes. He must be thinking of that Princess Thousandleaf who died with hatred all those years ago, his mufei?

Mu Ru Yue tugged on his hand and thought to herself, ”Tell me, what is the empress thinking?”

”I was just trying to make use of this to make the Crown Prince sick. It has nothing to do with us. ” Feng Li said.

”It seems to be true, but I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy. The empress doesn't seem to give up that easily.” Mu Ru Yue frowned as she tried to draw Feng Chen's attention to her.

He didn't want him to think about his mother again.

Feng Chen thought about it for a moment. She also felt that what Murong Yue said made sense, so she tugged her hand. ”No matter what, don't leave my side today.”

”Alright.” Mu Ru Yue smiled in satisfaction.

At that moment, the empress dowager suddenly spoke up. ”Aunt Yu, is the auspicious hour ready?”

”In reply to the Empress, the auspicious hour is approaching.” Aunt Yu replied. The empress nodded her head in satisfaction, then said to the crowd, ”Ladies and gentlemen, the auspicious hour has arrived. The Crown Prince's Feast for the selection is also about to begin. The matter of the consort selection this time was all thanks to His Majesty's trust.

That's why I invited the Peerless Grand Princess and the Concubine Mei to come together to choose our beauties. The three ladies that the three of us chose were ultimately chosen by His Highness the Crown Prince.

The imperial edict had already been prepared, only waiting for someone to fill it in with her name. After today's banquet, it was time to celebrate for the crown prince and the future princess' consort. Tonight, the Imperial Palace will also stay for the girls who are not convenient to leave. ”

The empress's words stunned everyone. It was rare for so many people to live in the palace. With such a large scale, it was hard to say if there would be anyone who would try to assassinate her.

However, it was a good thing for everyone.

Everyone thanked the empress.

Feng Chen frowned. ”What does the empress want to do?”

”An Xin, I will be fine. If someone truly harms me, I will also bite off a piece of their meat.” Mu Ru Yue whispered viciously into Feng Chen's ear. Feng Chen wanted to laugh. His wife didn't seem to know what fear was.

”I don't want you to bite other people's flesh. I only want you to live peacefully.” Live in front of me. Feng Chen didn't finish his sentence. He looked at Mu Ru Yue and his heart became increasingly chaotic.

There was no doubt that he liked Mu Ru Yue. However, this feeling of liking him had also caused him to gradually become less and less like himself. He wanted to leave her at home, to stop her from seeing others, to stop worrying about anything. For him alone.

This feeling was undesirable, and if so, he and she would only walk down a path of separation. After all … This person didn't like him that much from the start. However, it was precisely because he understood this that he started to think about it more and more.

It was like a strange circle. He couldn't get out no matter what. He could only watch as she leisurely stood at the edge of the circle, looking at him.

How could Mu Ru Yue know these thoughts in Feng Chen's mind? At this moment, she was still thinking how she should explain it clearly to Feng Qing in the future and try her best to erase her grudge with a smile.

The bell rang out once more. This time, there were only three ringing bells. These three ringing bells also symbolized the official start of the wedding banquet. Seeing that the selection banquet had already begun, the crown prince still hadn't arrived yet. The empress's expression changed.

Without batting an eyelid, he asked Aunt Yu, ”How's the crown prince doing?”
