"Father...Emperor, you want to find another mother, you are bad..."

The little boy had a stern face, put his hands on his hips and glared at Chu Tianze. Although he was young, he already had the demeanor of a prince.

Chu Tianze was speechless, "You are such a smart kid, when did father ever say he wanted to find another mother…"

"Father, you are evil..."

Bai Chuxiao frowned, "Lanxiang, how could the little kid say these things..."

"Master, no one taught the young prince. He probably thought of something when he heard us discussing the arrangements for the banquet..."

"Well, keep a close eye on him from now on, and don't let anyone with ulterior motives instigate Baozi to talk."

"Yes!"

"You little brat, if you keep talking nonsense, your father will throw you to your second uncle's house." Chu Tianze picked her up and said viciously.

"Sister, I want to go find my sister. Father, you are so bad..." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince flapped his hands and tried to break free from his clutches.

Bai Chuxiao looked at the daily scene between the father and son, and suddenly gave up the idea of ​​​​troubling those people. It would be better to play with Baozi instead of wasting time. However, since the words were already said, forget it. It would not be a bad idea to just use a gentler approach.

Three days passed slowly. The banquet venue was set up in the outdoor imperial garden. There were just a few tables and some snacks. After all, Bai Chuxiao didn't really want to entertain these people.

Bai Chuxiao arrived late after the palace maids led the ladies from each family to their seats.

"Your humble servant, your humble servant pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen," and everyone bowed in unison.

"Get up!"

Some young girls raised their heads cautiously and looked at the queen who was said to be able to go to the battlefield...

Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "Everyone, please take a seat. I hope you all know the purpose of my summoning you to the palace."

"The Queen is virtuous and generous, and is as capable as any man. We, the court ladies, admire her."

Bai Chuxiao took a sip of tea and began to talk nonsense, "It is my duty to select concubines for His Majesty. I am very pleased that you are so cooperative. But do you know why His Majesty was unwilling to fill the harem before?"

"Queen, this..."

Bai Chuxiao continued, "Every family is eager to send their daughters to the palace, which only makes His Majesty feel that they are not doing practical things and are only trying to use their daughters to get a job. Everyone knows His Majesty's temper, he hates this the most, so..."

"Please show me the way, Queen..."

Bai Chuxiao smiled, "So, I have thought of a way. If you really want to help Your Majesty to have more children, I will welcome you. But there are two conditions."

The ministers' wives looked at each other in bewilderment. Some of the girls who really had feelings for Chu Tianze became active. As long as they could enter the palace, there was nothing they would not agree to.

Bai Chuxiao glanced around and smiled, "Everyone can enter the palace, but their fathers and brothers are required to resign by default, and no one in the family is allowed to serve as an official in the court within three generations."

"What...this..." The ministers were horrified.

"I believe that all the young ladies who came here today sincerely want to enter the palace to serve His Majesty, so I think you will not mind this condition..."

"Your Majesty is joking..." The ministers looked embarrassed and smiled awkwardly. Just as Bai Chuxiao said, they sent their daughter in just to gain a good future. If she couldn't be an official, why send her in?

"Could it be that all of you ladies brought your daughters here just to emulate the concubines of past dynasties?" Bai Chuxiao said with a smile.

"The Queen has misunderstood. It's just that the Queen and His Majesty are a loving couple. How could we send our daughters in here to disturb the Queen? We came here today just to bring our daughters here to learn from the Queen's demeanor." Everyone quickly changed their words.

"Is that so? That's a pity." Bai Chuxiao sighed slightly. Isn't Chu Tianze a very popular person? No one is willing to give up their official position and enter the palace. Her second condition was in vain.

Just as he finished thinking, someone asked tentatively, "The Queen just said there are two conditions. What is the other one?"

Bai Chuxiao looked at them in surprise, then raised her eyebrows and smiled, "The first one is that three generations cannot be officials. The second one is that after entering the palace, you must serve as my slave for three years. When I feel that you understand the rules, I will grant you a position to serve Your Majesty..."

At this point, all the smart ladies lowered their heads. Who would dare to come in with such conditions? No one would know when you die as a servant. Although you may say that the queen's conditions are harsh, it is also the right thing to do to enter the palace and serve the queen. No one can find fault with it.

Looking at the group of people who had become speechless, Bai Chuxiao curled her lips and smiled, "If you are interested in entering the palace to serve His Majesty, I can agree to your request immediately. If you are here just to visit me, please go back."

"Um... we, the servants, will not disturb Her Majesty the Queen..."

"I'm leaving now!"

"My maid, please retire!"

They all bowed together, wishing they had wheels under their feet so they could leave here quickly. They finally understood that this Queen was not selected for His Majesty, but was just taking the opportunity to warn them. If they didn't leave, their lives would be in danger.

"Since you are not interested, I will not force you. Qingshuang, please see us off."

It would be useless for the queen to just say these two conditions, so Bai Chuxiao asked Chu Tianze to bring out the imperial edict at the morning court the next day.

As expected, after the imperial edict that daughters entering the palace for three generations could not serve as officials was issued, ministers in the court never mentioned the selection of concubines again.

The queen is good at fighting and the crown prince has been appointed. They are refuting the imperial edict and clamoring for a beauty contest. Doesn't this prove that they are officials who want to rely on their daughters to get to the top and do nothing about their work?

Once the matter was settled, everyone in the imperial city was filled with joy, and even the arrogant young masters became low-key.

However, Daxia has been at war for the past two years, and vitality in various places has not yet recovered, so Chu Tianze is not in a hurry to recover the northwest.

And just like that, another two years passed.

Inside the Bixiao Palace, a little boy in a black brocade robe was arm wrestling with a little girl with two pigtails, which made Chu Tianze hold his forehead with his hand.

"Xiaoxiao, is it really appropriate to teach a five-year-old child to arm wrestle?"

Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "Do you understand entertainment games?"

Although Murong Changhuan is only a few months older than Chu Jingce, he is taller and stronger than him, so our Crown Prince lost the arm wrestling competition!

"Baozi, you are too weak." Murong Changhuan shook his head.

"Sister, my name is not Baozi, my name is Jingce!" the strong little boy protested.

"Just call yourself Baozi. Any objection is useless, right, godfather and godmother?"

Chu Tianze waved at her and said with a smile, "Our Huanhuan is right!"

Chu Jingce, who was white and plump, felt very aggrieved, "Mother, Ah Ce doesn't look like a steamed bun at all."

He knew that buns were round and had stuffing inside…

Bai Chuxiao looked him over and for a moment she was at a loss for words of comfort. Jing Ce seemed to have really grown into a dumpling. What should she do...

Chu Tianze saw what she was thinking and grinned, "Come here, little brat."

The Crown Prince took a few steps back cautiously. Chu Tianze said grimly, "How old are you? Look at your weight. Calling you a dumpling is an exaggeration..."
