After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor

When Wan Ning heard Mu Xiu asking about how to organize the talent show after the New Year, she was secretly happy. She racked her brains last night and came up with a "good idea" and was waiting for others to ask about it. Just as she was about to blurt it out, she felt that she had to keep it a secret and tease the people in front of her.

So he just picked up the wine glass, stood up, smiled awkwardly, and sat back down, spreading his hands to hold back his laughter, intending to listen to the thoughts of the people around him first: "Look, my mind is so empty at the critical moment. Now is the time to speak freely. Does anyone here have any ideas? This opportunity is rare, don't miss it."

Xiang Wanxuan's sisters looked at each other in bewilderment. They had expressed their ideas during Pei Lan's memorial event, but they were all about the specific preparations, which were all areas they were familiar with and good at. In addition, their previous experiences and education had always told them to talk less, so now that they could express their own opinions, they didn't know how to start.

Seeing this, Wan Ning wanted to find a leader, so she cast her eyes on Mu Xiu who was drinking on the side. He had just picked up the wine glass and before it touched his lips, he saw Wan Ning's expectant and smirking eyes looking at him, so he had to put the glass back and turned his head away as if to escape.

"Prince Mu Xiu," Wan Ning poked Mu Xiu's clothes tentatively, and then said, "Could you please use your professional opinions and rich experience to give us an example?"

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Mu Xiu looked at her angrily, with an expression on his face that seemed to say "Wait for me when you travel back in time". Mu Xiu thought for a moment, and said slowly: "This kind of talent show has an answer from the beginning. As for who to choose and who not to choose, the Queen Mother has already made up her mind, but she is not convenient to say it directly. In my opinion, you'd better inquire about the family backgrounds of the ladies and the clan relationships behind them before the talent show, so as not to make a big mistake by choosing the wrong person. But after all, the talent show is also to choose a partner for the emperor, and his preferences must be respected."

Mu Xiu paused for a moment and stole a glance at Wan Ning's expression, then added: "So we have to find out what the emperor likes and dislikes. If we can choose someone who satisfies both the empress dowager and the emperor, that would be the best. If not, we have to make a choice. If it is difficult to have both, it depends on how you, Princess Le Yan, choose. Fortunately, the empress dowager said that she would select a concubine, but she didn't say that only one person can be selected. If it is really difficult to choose, then good things come in pairs."

After hearing this suggestion and seeing Mu Xiu's naughty expression, Wan Ning knew that he was teasing her on purpose. Not long ago, he advised her to try to accept Ziheng, and now, not long after, he suggested that Wan Ning really find a wife for him, no, two wives. Not to mention that she has already established a relationship with Ziheng, as a modern person, she can't just randomly match people up like this. This idea really doesn't conform to the concept of freedom of marriage and love for a modern person who has received a new education.

Wan Ning looked at Mu Xiu with disdain and shook her head, deliberately saying in a bickering tone: "Prince Mu Xiu has such a strong ability to adapt and adapt to local customs so quickly. I really admire him. But you can't do such a random matchmaking thing. If they are not happy in the future, they will blame me."

"Puchi", Shuiyue laughed out loud, "Princess, you always like to joke. The eldest princess is of noble status, how could anyone scold you?"

"People who care about their reputation will naturally not scold me to my face, but it is inevitable that people will scold me behind my back, and even poke me in the spine!" Wan Ning spread her hands, pretending to be scared, and then went back to the talent show: "But being scolded is a small matter. It is a sin to rashly decide other people's lives and harm these girls."

"Yes, not to mention those far away, just talking about Concubine Ru and the other sisters in Wuming Palace, they all participated in the beauty pageant and entered the palace, but now they have to live in a place like the cold palace. Presumably, the ladies who will come to participate in the beauty pageant next year are also looking forward to life in the palace. It would be heartbreaking if they ended up like this." Zhu Ying had been listening and finally spoke slowly.

It just so happened that Zhu Ying mentioned Concubine Ru and the Nameless Palace. Wan Ning took advantage of this topic to build up the mood before introducing her plan, and to win everyone's approval and support. Wan Ning struck while the iron was hot and said, "Zhu Ying is right. Let's take Concubine Xia for example. She is still young, but she has to spend her whole life in the 'cold palace'. She can't even call a doctor if she falls into the water and gets sick. I don't want to do such a sin!"

"What if she really likes the emperor, and they like each other and respect each other in the future? That's also..." Before Mu Xiu finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. Wan Ning's eyes were as sharp as a knife. Seeing her angry look, Mu Xiu quickly shut up and stopped talking.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Several people around them didn't dare to speak and lowered their heads to pretend to eat. At this time, Wan Tao, who had been silent, broke the silence and brought the topic back: "Princess, you are right. Most relationships in the world are abandoned after being indecisive. This is also the case in the harem. It would be better to have the support of your family or be favored, but there are very few. Most of them are walking on thin ice and walking carefully. Even if you are favored like Concubine Lan, even if you have your sister to take care of you, you still end up like this. If there is a choice, I am afraid that there will be fewer tears in this world."

"Wan Tao is right. Only the matchmaker can arrange couples for each other. I don't intend to interfere." Finally, someone stood on her side. Wan Ning instantly felt more confident and said righteously with her hands on her hips.

"Then how does the princess plan to ask the matchmaker to arrange a marriage for her?" Zhu Zi asked curiously.

Wan Ning suddenly became excited, looked at Mu Xiu proudly and asked, "Prince Mu Xiu, do you know what a transfer relationship is? What is If You Are the One?"

Mu Xiu had understood her intention and picked up the wine glass in front of him, not wanting to pay attention. The surrounding Zhu Ying, Zhu Zi, Shui Yue, on the contrary, were very interested in what the princess said. They widened their eyes and urged curiously: "Princess, we don't know any of this. Please tell us what this has to do with Yue Lao!"

Wan Ning stood up and introduced herself with great enthusiasm: "In the past, there were only selected girls in the selection, and almost only for the emperor to choose a partner. There were also very few people who were favored by the empress dowager and granted marriage. This faced a problem of imbalance in numbers. Secondly, the two parties knew very little about each other, which also buried hidden dangers for their future life together. In view of these two pain points, I suggest that not only should there be selected girls, but also a group of outstanding selected boys, at least the number should be matched."

"Ah——" This shocking suggestion really scared the people around. Zhu Ying couldn't help but ask, "Princess, this has never happened before. I'm afraid the Queen Mother won't agree?"

"It's not time for questions yet. Please wait for me to finish my introduction." Wan Ning said confidently, "Once we get the information of this batch of concubines and showmen, we will do a background check first, such as eliminating those who are married, those with bad reputations, and those with bad tempers. Then, the concubines and showmen who have passed the initial screening will be separated and live in the palace. Without revealing their true identities, we will get to know them separately. After each activity, we will vote until we choose the ones who are compatible with us."

Wan Tao asked thoughtfully, "What should we do if we don't find someone who shares the same ideals as us?"

"Let's set our goal a little lower for now. We'll be successful if we can select three pairs, and we'll give them special gifts. If we really don't get selected, we can only say that our destiny hasn't arrived yet, and we can't blame us. What do you think?"

"It sounds unique and interesting!" Zhu Zi was the first to agree, followed by others.

Wan Ning turned around and concluded excitedly: "This idea is still in its early stages. Since everyone agrees, let's go in this direction! I will write a project plan in the next two days, and we will work together to organize a special talent show. How do you think?"
