Time flies. These days, Mu Liangyuan did give Tang Yu time to think as he said, and did not disturb her too much.

The retired emperor and the empress dowager also rushed back two days before the selection.

The emperor abdicated early and took the empress dowager to travel around. This time he came back because Mu Liangyuan said he had a lover.

This really surprised the two of them.

They know what their son is like in their eyes better than outsiders.

The people all know that His Majesty is wise and brave, has good governance, and is a benevolent ruler of all ages. Indeed, these two people have to admit that their son Mu Liangyuan has been scheming since he was a child. He is so scheming that even his biological parents cannot understand what this child is thinking.

The ministers also did not know and only thought that Your Majesty's merits and virtues would last for thousands of years.

Only those who are close to him know the indifference in Mu Liangyuan's bones. This is why the emperor insisted on sending Mu Liangyuan to the battlefield when he was teaching him.

One is to exercise martial arts and defend the country. As a monarch, you must understand the suffering of the people and the pain of the soldiers. If you want to be a wise monarch, you must know these.

Secondly, he hoped that Mu Liangyuan, after having seen the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the people displaced by the war, would have a compassionate heart.

The final outcome is unknown, but on the surface, Mu Liangyuan is indeed an impeccable and wise ruler.

Cining Palace.

Since his return, the retired emperor has been living in the Cining Palace with the empress dowager and her husband.

At this moment, you two looked at each other in confusion.

The Queen Mother looked puzzled. "You said, Yuan'er is... I always have a bad feeling. Which girl does Yuan'er like? He won't reveal a single detail when I ask him."

The Emperor said as he massaged the Empress Dowager's shoulders.

"I don't know, but I think Yuan'er knows it himself. As old people, we should just watch. Maybe this is the first time that this young boy has fallen in love with a woman, but he is too embarrassed to say it out loud."

"Who knows, he might be among the beauties who will be selected in two days. Well, let him be. After all, he has never done anything out of line in all these years."

The Queen Mother also nodded. In short, she didn't have many requirements for her daughter-in-law. As long as she was not morally corrupt or extremely ugly, she would not be picky.

Another day has passed, and there is only one day left until the draft.

Tang Yu was still locked up in Jiawanju and couldn't go out. She thought that during this period only Mu Liangyuan would sneak over the wall to see her.

I didn't expect Tang Huan would come to my door.

Tang Yu was sitting in front of the dressing table. Xiao Tao was putting her hair in a bun when Xiao Yuan walked in angrily.

"Miss, that shameless Tang Huan is here to cause trouble again. She is dressed up glamorously, as if she is going to be a concubine. I really don't know where she gets her confidence from. I hope she is not chosen. I hope Your Majesty is a discerning person and will not be deceived by this woman's appearance."

Zhou Niannian was playing with the Nine Rings puzzle. Kids of this age don’t quite know how to solve it, so they were just playing with it in their hands.

Tang Yu looked at Zhou Niannian's round little face and winked at Xiaoyuan, telling her not to say these things in front of the child.

To avoid any impact in the future.

Xiaoyuan immediately covered her mouth and kept silent. She was so angry that she broke the rules.

Xiao Tao inserted the last hairpin and said, "Miss, should we meet or not? Tang Huan is here to show off. I always feel that she is a little weird. The old lady and the general seem to be possessed by a demon and believe everything she says.
