She is a crazy woman, he is a crazy guy, raising a kid together with a smile

The Fengyu Kingdom has always respected the empress, and Nanxingyuan is the new empress.

When the empress ascended the throne, court officials urged her to appoint concubines to the harem and give birth to royal heirs as soon as possible to expand the family.

Nan Xingyuan was so annoyed by the urging that she had no choice but to issue an imperial decree to hold a beauty contest. All court officials whose families had men of the right age had to go to the palace to participate in the contest.

Beijing Rong Family——

"I won't enter the palace! How can a man of seven feet tall enter the palace to be a male concubine? Wouldn't it be a joke for the whole world?"

Rong Si, the second young master of the Rong family, refused outright and said he didn't want to enter the palace for the selection at all.

"A Si, there is nothing we can do about it. The imperial decree has been issued. Your elder brother is already engaged to General Shen's second son, Shen Li, so he cannot enter the palace for the selection. Your sister A Yue is not of the right gender, so you have to enter the palace for the selection."

Madam Rong looked at Rong Si helplessly, hoping that he would listen to advice and enter the palace for the selection.

"Yes, Ah Si, if you go to the palace, the queen may not necessarily like you. If you are not chosen, you can come back and continue to be your eldest master." Prime Minister Rong also persuaded Rong Si earnestly.

Rong Si got a little angry when he saw them saying this one by one.

Is this the only way?

He didn't want to enter the palace at all. He just wanted to be a playboy. It would be so comfortable to eat, drink and have fun every day. Why did he want to enter the palace to be a male concubine?

"But what if that extremely ugly lady covets my beauty? Wouldn't I have to give myself to her?" Rong Si frowned worriedly.

"Who told you that my lady is extremely ugly? My lady has a rare good appearance. It's not an exaggeration to say that she is a beauty. I'm not wronging you at all. On the contrary, it's you. My lady may not be attracted to you, so don't worry."

Hearing what her son said, Mrs. Rong said with great disgust.

With Lady Jun's looks, if she were an ordinary girl, she would have been approached by matchmakers a long time ago. It is only because of Lady Jun's identity that she has not yet gotten married.

When Rong Si heard what Madam Rong said, he became even more unconvinced and decided to go meet this lady!

"Okay, then I will go to the audition. If the lady is ugly, I will definitely find ways to get her eliminated!" Rong Si vowed secretly.

Prime Minister Rong and Madam Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Rong Si had relented.

Fortunately, he agreed to go, otherwise if he escaped the draft and was found out, his whole family would be executed!

On the day of the selection, Nan Xingyuan was dressed by her personal maid and then went to the imperial garden to personally select a male concubine.

Originally, she had handed over full responsibility to her two royal brothers, but they insisted that she participate in person. She had no choice but to go to the Imperial Garden in person.

She sat on a high seat, with two princes beside her for reference.

Half an hour had passed, and Nan Xingyuan still looked uninterested.

"You've already looked at more than twenty of them, but your royal sister still doesn't like any of them?" Nan Xingyuan asked in a low voice.

"Royal brother, they are all mediocre and vulgar. I really look down on them. Why do the sons of these ministers look like this?" Nan Xingyuan said with a look of disgust.

"Royal sister, don't pay too much attention to appearance. Inner qualities are equally important. For example, Zhao Tongli, the young master of the Zhao family, is very talented and handsome. Why is he still not to your liking?" Nan Xinghe also joined the ranks of persuading.

"You mean Zhao Tongli? I grew up with him and I treat him as a brother. How could I let him enter the palace as a male concubine?" Nan Xingyuan waved her hand, feeling that it was inappropriate.

Nan Xinghe and Nan Xingyuan looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Let the next batch in." Nan Xingyuan looked at the young eunuch and signaled him to continue summoning Xiu'nan for an audience.

Rong Si was among this group of handsome men, and together with him was Chu Ci, the son of the Minister of Rites. His talent and appearance were widely known in the capital.

But Rong Si was very disdainful:

It's just a facade. How can it compare to this face of mine?

Just as they were thinking about it, they heard the eunuch asking them to step forward and introduce themselves one by one.

"Chu Ci, the son of the Minister of Rites, greets the Lady, the First Prince, and the Second Prince—"

"Oh? You are Chu Ci? I heard that you are quite talented in the capital, why is your name not on the list for this year's palace examination?"

Hearing Chu Ci's name, Nan Xingyuan became interested and asked.

"Your Majesty, I was delayed for some reasons and was unable to take part in the imperial examination this year. Naturally, I will not be on the list for the palace examination." Chu Ci replied in a low voice.

Hearing this, Nan Xingyuan did not ask any further questions. Instead, he raised his chin and motioned for the next Xiu Man to come forward.

"I am Rong Si, the second son of the Prime Minister, and I am honored to meet the Queen and the princes." Rong Si lowered his head and then saluted.

When she heard Rong Si's name, Nan Xingyuan's eyes lit up. She had heard that Prime Minister Rong's second son was extremely handsome, but it was a pity that he was a boy. If he was a girl, she would definitely be the most beautiful woman in Fengyu Country.

"Look up, let me take a good look at you—"

Hearing this, Rong Si slowly raised his face and met Nan Xingyuan's gaze.

Rong Si was slightly stunned. What a beautiful face. Compared with his own, it was not much inferior. Is this the female monarch?

And after seeing Rong Si's face, Nan Xingyuan also showed a satisfied smile.

After looking at so many men, I finally found one that catches my eye.

"Royal sister, in my opinion, Chu Ci is talented and handsome. You can take him into the harem, one as the queen and the other as the male concubine."

Seeing that the imperial sister's eyes were wide open, Nan Xingyuan felt that there was hope, so he made a suggestion, then looked at his eldest imperial brother, motioning him to say a few words as well.

After watching for such a long time, Nan Xinghe also felt that these two were very suitable and could serve the imperial sister well.

"Royal sister, I think your second brother is right. We can take you into the harem and serve you."

"Since the royal brothers all think they are suitable, then it will be them two."

After saying that, Nan Xingyuan looked at the two of them and announced loudly:

"The son of the Minister of Rites, Chu Ci, and the second son of the Prime Minister, Rong Si, will both be canonized as male lords and enter the palace to accompany me. The rest of the candidates will return home and choose a good marriage. They will not have to enter the palace for selection in the future."

"I, your humble servant, thank you, my lady—"

Those princes who were not chosen were very happy, because compared to being a male ruler of a woman, they wanted to marry and have children instead of being bound by the palace.

Rong Si has not yet recovered from the fact that he was chosen.

Was he chosen just like that? Was he chosen so hastily?
