Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

But just as she was about to put pen to paper, she remembered something else.

"Did all the young masters from noble families participate in this election?"

"It should be. As soon as the news came out, I heard that all the young masters in Kyoto went to the restaurant to discuss the election. Now the whole Kyoto is very lively."

Bi Tao heard the gossip, and it was not a secret in the harem.

"Then you should definitely attend, brother, to broaden your horizons."

"My Lord, you have seen a lot, but I think you should be the one to take part in this election. Maybe you can make a splash. Otherwise, you are not well-known in Kyoto. Last time, when you went to the Yuwen family to propose marriage, you lost to the son of a coachman."

Bitao couldn't help but mutter.

She had heard from others that even if she could not be appointed Grand Marshal by the Emperor in the end, if she could stand out in the competition, she might have a chance to pursue a career in government in the future.

Shen Zhishu couldn't help but laugh when he heard her mumbling.

What does this have to do with anything? It's totally unrelated.

But she really shouldn't have stopped her brother from running in this election.

When she started writing, she wrote a letter home and specifically encouraged her brother.

In just two days, the general election began.

Led by the imperial guards, all the young masters of noble families entered the Yingwu Palace.

Shen Zhishu also followed the emperor to the palace.

There are also the Queen and Concubine Wan.

She looked at the cold and majestic emperor walking in front of her, and thought of what happened this morning.

Early in the morning, eunuch Zhou Defu came personally to convey the order, asking her to come and watch the election, which would be lively.

But is it coming?

The emperor only looked at Concubine Wan.

She glanced at him repeatedly but got no response, so she couldn't help but lose interest.

It was such a waste of her careful dressing up; the Emperor seemed to have no interest in her recently.

Maybe I'm tired of it.

She sighed, sat down, and looked at the stage.

My brother stood among the young men. Apart from anything else, his appearance was very outstanding.

The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

"I heard that Concubine Xian's brother has been traveling around the world for many years. I think he is quite good at martial arts."

Just this one glance.

Su Rong's gaze instantly turned over.

It seemed like she was paying attention to her movements all the time.

"My brother just likes to travel around. His martial arts were taught by a martial arts master, so he doesn't have much talent."

She said this very modestly.

"If that's the case, he probably doesn't stand a chance in this election."

Su Rong hates such casual and modest people. In her opinion, they are very hypocritical.

"There are hundreds of young masters from aristocratic families in the audience, but there is only one Grand Marshal, and they may not be able to pass the test. I think many of them are here just to train themselves."

Of course there is no chance, because you have already chosen them.

Shen Zhidan smiled.

"If everyone in the Yan Dynasty is like Concubine Xian, who doesn't like fighting and has no desire to win, I'm afraid there will be a lot of cowards."

But Su Rong's words were sharp.

Isn't it just mocking her in both explicit and implicit ways?

"Or maybe Concubine Xian is ambitious but is too ashamed to say it out loud? I don't think being ambitious is a bad thing. If a person lives his life without any desires, what's the difference between him and a rotten fish?"

These words seemed to be scolding her.

"Everyone present, if you just want to join in the fun, or to gain experience, then leave quickly. I don't need cowards who are afraid to fight, and the emperor will not let someone who doesn't have the belief that he will win serve as the commander-in-chief to attack the frontier."

Without waiting for Shen Zhishu to reply, she immediately stood up and raised her voice so that everyone could hear.

It was as if all the insults against Concubine Xian were announced to the world.

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to Shen Zhishu.

The whole place was silent.

How could she not be embarrassed at this time?

But what about Su Rong?

She is high-spirited and proud.

It seems like the proudest person I ever was is back.

She was once in agony after losing Yan Chu's love.

But it seems those days are gone.

She hated the sight of Su Rong like this.

So she stood up and walked up to her calmly.

"Your Highness, I will follow your instructions and change my ways in the future. I will not be a coward."

Then he calmly glanced at the people on the stage.

"Can you hear me clearly? The Emperor and Empress are looking for strong people who are determined and brave enough to fight in this election. Please show your full strength and let the Emperor see it."

In addition to his eldest brother, there are also some familiar young masters.

But when she saw Choi Jung.

No, now he should be called Su Zheng.

The young master of the Su family is here too?

Did he actually come to participate so blatantly?

At that moment, she seemed to understand Su Rong's purpose this time.

Is this the beginning of Su Zheng’s training?

She's really adaptable.

But in a trance, she seemed to see a pair of familiar eyes again.

When she subconsciously tried to look carefully, she couldn't find him in the crowd.

Looking around, it's not like that at all.

So she was really crazy, and at that moment she actually saw Dao Ran, the shameless monk, in the crowd.

Then Yan Chu stood up and walked to her side.

“This election will officially begin.”

He said nothing, and Zhou Defu, who was standing beside him, deliberately lowered his voice to make it sound a little rougher.

Then there were rounds of beatings, marking the beginning of the general election.

"Does the Emperor have anyone he likes?"

Although he came to her side, he was unusually cold.

This made Shen Zhishu very uneasy. He always felt that the things he had fought so hard for seemed to be quietly slipping away.

"Shen Jie is a man of both civil and military talents. He is an upright gentleman."

Shen Zhishu was a little confused by this one sentence.

So the person the emperor favors is my brother?

His vision is not that good.

"But he cannot be the commander-in-chief of this expedition, and he is not suitable for marching and fighting."

When Shen Zhishu was about to speak, Yan Chu added another sentence.

So you knew it.

"You're not wrong. He came here just to gain some experience."

But when the subject changed, Shen Zhishu looked at him in surprise.

"emperor……"

"Okay, if you want to watch the fun, sit back down."

Shen Zhishu just wanted to ask him if he was comforting himself.

But the next second, it was like a basin of cold water was poured over me, and I felt chilled to the bone.

Why did she come here, just to watch the fun?

Following the sound of drums, Yan Chu was seen walking towards the stage.

"My lady, please return to your seat."

Shen Zhishu was still in a daze, so Zhou Defu walked up to her and reminded her in a low voice.

She suppressed her loneliness and returned to where she was just now.

"Don't take this to heart, Concubine Xian. You and the Queen have known each other for a long time, so you should know her best."

Wanpin quietly moved to sit beside her.

Opening your mouth is comforting.

But it just sounds like that.

Knowing her best, of course she knew that Su Rong was deliberately trying to make her unhappy.

"The Queen is a person of true character. She hates those who are hypocritical and pretend to be weak. I think she misunderstood you and thought you were hypocritical."
