Chu Yuheng, who was outside the palace, heard the news and almost vomited the tea he had just drunk out of surprise.

"What's wrong? What's there to be shocked about?" Yu Wangfei was puzzled. "Isn't it just to choose a concubine for Chu Fei?"

After all, Chu Aotian already has a princess, and he recently gave birth to a son. This child is the eldest grandson of the emperor. If Chu Fei does not work hard, I am afraid that the position of crown prince will be taken away by Chu Aotian.

"Can't you see the relationship between Chu Fei and Feng Zhao?" Chu Yuheng put down the teacup and looked at Yu Wangfei in confusion.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Chu Fei and Feng Zhao had a special relationship. Although Feng Zhao claimed to be Chu Fei's personal bodyguard, those who had been with him for a long time could see the closeness between the two.

Upon hearing this, Yu Wangfei was obviously stunned. Although she could see it, she didn't think it was true. After all, in her opinion, how could the royal family dare to announce to the outside world that they were having a sexual relationship.

"Really?" Yu Wangfei was a little surprised, then calmed down, "I always thought it was just talk."

"Fei Fei." Chu Yuheng smiled brightly, "This matter is difficult to handle."

Yes, what should we do about this?

"Let's go to the Seventh Prince's residence." Chu Yuheng stood up and planned to go and take a look.

The two arrived at the Seventh Prince's residence. Before they even reached the inner courtyard, they heard the sound of Chu Fei throwing porcelain, followed by the sound of a slap.

Chu Yuheng pushed the door open and saw Chu Fei covering his cheek, while Feng Zhao was standing aside, staring blankly at his right hand.

Seeing that something was wrong, Yu Wangfei immediately closed the door of the room to prevent outsiders from seeing the scene inside.

"You hit him?" Chu Yuheng frowned in dissatisfaction, "You know, he is the seventh prince of the Great Chu!"

What a bad omen! He actually dared to hit the prince. He simply doesn't want to live.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness the Seventh Prince. I'm sorry, Your Majesty." Feng Zhao knelt down directly.

The ground was littered with porcelain that was broken by Chu Fei. Feng Zhao's legs fell to his knees among the fragments, and blood immediately gushed out. Chu Fei, feeling distressed, hurriedly helped him up.

"What are you doing? Why are you kneeling?" Chu Fei hurriedly helped the man to the bed and let him sit down.

Seeing this, Yu Wangfei took out the golden medicine he carried with him and went to the bedside to check Feng Zhao's injuries.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have done that. The prince has the right to punish me." Feng Zhao lowered his head, unwilling to look at anyone present.

Chu Fei suddenly stood up angrily: "No matter what, I will never participate in the concubine selection, don't try to persuade me!"

Just now, Chu Fei openly disobeyed the imperial edict because he did not want to participate in the concubine selection and flew into a rage in the room. Feng Zhao believed that this was an imperial edict and he had to obey it.

After all, there is more than one person behind Chu Fei. If Chu Fei disobeys the order, many years of careful planning by everyone will be ruined, so he has to go.

But Chu Fei was unwilling, and the two had an argument. Feng Zhao slapped him in anger, and the slap happened to be seen by Chu Yuheng and Yu Wangfei.

"Shut up!" Chu Yuheng stared at him angrily, "Chu Fei, you are not a child anymore. Have you ever thought about the consequences? What do you want me to do? What do you want the soldiers of Western Zhou to do? What do you want the imperial concubine to do?"

Hearing this, Chu Fei stood there in a daze. He knew the consequences of not going, but if he was forced to marry a woman he didn't love and spend his whole life with someone he didn't love, it would be better to kill him.

Why can't people born in the royal family have their own joys and sorrows?

"If it was you who was choosing the concubine, would the emperor's uncle be willing to go?" Chu Fei looked at Chu Yuheng in a daze.

Chu Yuheng didn't know how to answer him. If he was the one choosing the concubine, he would definitely not be willing to go, because there was only Yu Wangfei in his heart.

Soon, the day of selecting a concubine arrived. The emperor asked the imperial concubine to arrange this matter and summoned all the noble ladies from the city into the palace, including Lu Xiaoting and Su Yunyun.

Although Su Yunyun was sent to a farm outside the city by the Duke of England, the Emperor ordered the Duke of England to pick her up, dress her up, and send her to the palace.

Chu Yuheng was unable to detain Lu Xiaoting any longer, so he had to dress her up and send her into the palace.

Another girl who was summoned into the palace at the same time was Yu Wangfei. Although she was engaged to Chu Yuheng, she was the Princess of Pingle after all. The Imperial Concubine specially selected her into the palace in the hope that she could persuade Chu Fei to choose the Prince's wife as soon as possible.

After Yu Wangfei entered the palace, she saw the noble ladies from aristocratic families sitting in their seats very respectfully, and the women who came today were slightly different from the women who attended the last flower-viewing banquet.

When the imperial concubine saw Yu Wangfei coming, she took the initiative to ask the nanny beside her to invite Yu Wangfei to sit next to her.

Just then Chu Fei walked in with Feng Zhao in low spirits.

He didn't even look at these women. Even when the ladies saluted him, Chu Fei pretended not to hear anything. Finally, Feng Zhao coughed behind him, and Chu Fei reluctantly shouted, "Everyone, stand up."

After saying that, Chu Fei sat directly in his seat. His fearless look on his face gave the Imperial Concubine a headache.

"Begin!" Mammy shouted.

The first item was to test the embroidery skills of the noble ladies, and all the women began to do needlework.

"Mother, can I go out for a while and come back after they finish embroidering?" Chu Fei asked.

He really didn't want to stay here any longer.

"You just sit here and stay today. If you dare to leave, you will no longer recognize me as your mother." The imperial concubine snorted coldly and glanced at Feng Zhao, reminding him not to try to let Chu Fei leave.

If Chu Fei hadn't loved Feng Zhao so much, she would have executed Feng Zhao long ago!

"Yes." Chu Fei bowed reluctantly.

An hour later, the noble ladies finished their needlework. The imperial concubine looked at the embroidered handkerchiefs and admired them very much. At the same time, Yu Wangfei saw Lu Xiaoting's embroidered handkerchief.

It's strange, why is Lu Xiaoting's needlework so exquisite? Didn't she grow up in Xizhou? Shouldn't she know these women's things?

The second item was a perfume-making competition. Obviously, Su Yunyun, a so-called lady from an aristocratic family, could do these things with ease, and Lu Xiaoting was also very good at it.

"Good, good." The imperial concubine took a look at Lu Xiaoting's needlework and incense, "She is worthy of being a heroine of the Great Chu. She can ride a horse, hold a gun and fight to kill the enemy, and she can also needlework, make incense and educate people. Good."

The Imperial Concubine was very satisfied with Lu Xiaoting. Although Lu Xiaoting's behavior at the flower-viewing banquet a few days ago was a little inconsistent, the Imperial Concubine had completely changed her opinion of her now. Moreover, General Lu was Lu Xiaoting's father.

"No." Yu Wangfei said softly, "Your Majesty, His Majesty..."
