Quick Travel: Saving the Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Role

Chapter 274 Cannon fodder in the novel about the female leader (17)

The empress promised Li Changhuan that she would not choose a husband for her for the time being, but the queen did not agree.

To him, Li Changhuan was not only his daughter, but also the crown prince of Northern Yan. The other princesses should have granddaughters in a few years, but she still had no heirs. The king and queen were so worried that they stayed up day and night. So they took advantage of the New Year holidays to find an excuse to invite young men of marriageable age from the families of officials in the court into the palace, in order to choose a concubine for the princess.

Of course, if the princess and the prince could be chosen directly, everyone would be happy.

Li Changhuan was a little impatient when he was invited over by the palace servants of Shangyang Palace. When he saw the colorful people sitting in the hall, he felt overwhelmed and turned around to leave.

The two palace servants who were serving the Queen came over quickly and whispered, "Your Highness, the Queen is doing this for your own good. His Majesty has also agreed to this matter. Your Highness, please stay and take a look. If you don't like what you see, it's not too late to leave, so as not to make the Queen sad."

The Queen took great pains to gather these young men for her to see, but now she leaves without even taking a look. Where is the Queen's dignity as the mistress of the harem?

After hesitating for a while, Li Changhuan finally went back and sat down.

Soon, the queen and several of the palace's most senior attendants came in together. Seeing Li Changhuan sitting obediently in the front, he felt relieved.

He was not close to this daughter. The empress had high hopes for her, and the Yang family also placed their hopes on her. He was in the middle and had to maneuver around to get more help for her.

Even though these were just his self-righteous "help".

"Greetings to the Queen, may the Queen live a thousand years."

"Your son greets the Queen Mother and wishes her the best of health."

"Everyone, stand up." The Queen took the main seat at the head of the table, and the other servants also sat down according to their positions. The Queen then spoke, "I invite all the gentlemen to the palace today. You should all know what I mean. Huan'er, you are not young anymore. Your eldest sister is only ten years older than you. She will have a granddaughter in two years, but you still have no daughter. Your father is worried about this..."

Li Changhuan wanted to run away again.

Since the Queen couldn't force her directly, she always used this attitude to make her submit.

She always had a tough attitude towards others, but she could not treat the emperor and empress equally. Firstly, there was the father-daughter relationship, and secondly, there were so many eyes watching her in the Censorate, and she did not want to make things difficult for the empress.

"Choose two young masters to take back today. If you have good news within three months, I will not force you anymore."

Li Changhuan couldn't help but think of Wuyou when he heard this.

These days, I don’t know if he has...

"The Third Prince has arrived!"

Everyone sitting in the palace looked towards the door.

A woman in her twenties wearing a brocade robe and jade belt walked in from the door, followed by two palace maids.

He walked closer and bowed to the Queen: "Your son pays homage to the Queen, may you live a thousand years."

"Le'er, get up quickly."

The father of the third princess Li Changle died early. At that time, Yang Fuqing had just become the queen and had no children of her own, so she took the initiative to take the third princess to raise her.

Not long after Li Changhuan was born, he was taken to the empress and had never been close to him since childhood. In contrast, the third princess was closer to the queen.

Of course, it is one thing for the Third Princess to be filial to him, but Li Changhuan is his biological daughter, and he would not be foolish enough to help the Third Princess.

Unless something happens to his daughter.

Li Changhuan had been assisting the empress during the New Year's Palace Banquet. In her spare time, she would pull Wuyou to the couch and fool around. She didn't pay much attention to her sisters. She had forgotten most of the dream.

Now that I have seen the Third Princess, I recall some things from my dream.

She bowed to Li Changhuan and said, "Princess, sister."

"Third sister." Li Changhuan was very cold to her.

Li Changle looked at her indifferent profile and thought of the gap between them. While she blamed her mother for being unfair, she also couldn't help but feel some disgust towards her.

She knew from a young age that she was not the Queen's biological daughter, but the Queen was innocent and treated her very well, so she had thought about fighting for the position of crown prince.

However, the Empress did not allow it.

During that period, she only went to the Queen in the harem. Not long after, the Queen became pregnant. Emperor Xuanzhen was a king who maintained the status quo and had complete control over the previous dynasty and the harem. She was just a child at that time and had no time to do anything. The Queen had already given birth to Li Changhuan.

After that, Li Changhuan stayed with the empress for a long time, and they had even less chance to attack her.

Li Changhuan entered the study at the age of three. Her tutor was a great scholar of the time, and her martial arts teacher was a champion marquis. They all said that she was a genius, rare in a thousand years. The empress also placed the heavy responsibility of unifying the world on her.

Until now, no matter how they smear her reputation outside, it cannot change the fact that the empress has high hopes for her to succeed the throne.

Unless she dies.

Li Changle's eyes flickered.

The queen didn't notice anything was wrong.

Li Changhuan has always been rather cold-tempered, and he's used to it.

"Le'er came here today, but I heard that I wanted to add a few people to the mansion to choose a prince for Huan'er? You sisters have a large family in your mansion, but only the two of you. One of you is not interested in men, and the other has only one concubine. The others are not presentable and have no heirs."

There are several young servants in Li Changle's mansion, but as he said, they are not presentable. There is a concubine who came to the mansion two years ago, and she is still not pregnant. The queen has urged her several times. When he met her today, he immediately had the idea of ​​picking two for Li Changle.

Li Changle smiled and said, "Today we are selecting a concubine for the emperor's younger sister, so I will not get involved."

She swept her eyes across the group of people, lingered briefly on one person, and then looked away.

Li Changhuan also looked in that direction.

The prime minister's legitimate son.

The man in her dream who became her legitimate husband and then colluded with Li Changle and eventually killed her.

She just glanced at him lightly and looked away.

Xiao Yanzhi below was a little nervous.

The purpose of his coming was to make the princess look at him with a sidelong glance and welcome him into the palace.

However, the rumors about the princess made him feel fearful.

The princess was cruel and ruthless, killing people like crazy.

The Queen looked at Li Changhuan and said, "Huan'er, is there anyone you like? I think the young master from General Lin's family is quite good. I heard that he has been in love with you for a long time."

His voice was not loud, and many people below did not hear it.

I didn't dare to speak out what I heard.

Li Changhuan didn't even bother to take a look: "I don't like it."

"What about the son of the prime minister? And the son of the governor you rescued is also very good. I won't force you to appoint a legitimate ruler. At least appoint a concubine and a servant ruler first, so that I can feel at ease."

Li Changhuan thought to himself, I don't know what he is thinking.

She stood up and said, "I don't like it, so don't worry about it, father and queen. As for the issue of heirs, I will make my own decision, so don't worry, father and queen."

If you work hard on Wuyou, maybe you will get it.

The king and queen seemed a little angry at the beginning, but suddenly felt relieved after hearing the last sentence.

There are his people in the Crown Princess's Eastern Palace, but they are all controlled by Li Changhuan. Everything he can know is what Li Changhuan is willing to let him know.

As for Wuyou's affairs, even Emperor Xuanzhen knew very little about them, let alone his harem.

She was nearly forty when she had a legitimate daughter, and Li Changhuan is less than twenty years old now. As long as she is safe and sound, she is not in a hurry.

Having a legitimate daughter too early may cause trouble in the future.

After all, once you become a mother, you don’t want to be someone’s daughter anymore.
