The princess is the only one in Xuanmen, and she is reborn to lift the lid of the prince's coff

After Jiang Xing appeared, the expressions of the noble ladies finally changed.

Their faces, which originally looked like they were visiting a grave, now have peach blossom eyes.

He was originally a member of a royal family, and he had a face that was hard to look away from. He was graceful, elegant, and dignified. He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe embroidered with dragon patterns. Although he looked pale and sick, it made him look even more arrogant and proud.

Song Wu also glanced at him several times. The purpose of her coming today was to find him for something, and she hoped that this man could understand what she meant.

Jiang Xing was really wondering what Miss Song meant by that? With such intense stares, was she interested in him?

It is not impossible.

He also raised his eyebrows at her and gave her a half-wicked and seductive smile.

She was at the Duke's Mansion that day along with the maid, but no unfavorable news has come out since then, which shows she's reliable. Furthermore, she saved me before, and her appearance is exceptional among all the other women...

He was thinking about it when suddenly, he remembered another thing.

"Flying Star."

Feixing hurriedly bowed in front of him.

Jiang Xing's smile faded, and he whispered seriously, "Have Xuan Ge guard the door. Today is the day for the selection of concubines. You must stop my brother and don't let him in!"

Originally, the Empress Dowager was in charge of selecting the concubine today. I didn’t hear that the Emperor would come?

But Feixing still responded and ran out.

The two eunuchs following the Queen Mother glanced at Jiang Xing several times.

As soon as Jiang Xing saw the man's attire, he knew that he was the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department. However, he pretended not to see the suspicion in his eyes since he was in front of the emperor.

He had seen the loving relationship between his royal brother and his wife in the past, so he couldn't say he thought too much about it. If his royal brother came, he was really worried that he would marry Song Wu!

After a delightful dance of colorful clothes and feathered robes, the selection of concubines officially began.

The ceremony is divided into three parts: dance, calligraphy and painting, and musical instruments.

Song Wu suddenly understood. No wonder Song Chuchu burned her hand in the carriage. She didn't want him to stand out at the concubine selection banquet!

But she didn't understand. Hadn't she already decided to take a shortcut and marry Ji Bozhou directly?

Why do you still want to interfere in the selection of concubines?

"First round, dance!" The eunuch's voice sounded: "First, Cui Zhilan, daughter of Cui Miao, the Left Secretary of the Honglu Temple, will perform a dance—"

In the first talent show, Song Wu came in third and Song Chuchu came in fourth.

Lu Yuehe sat quietly beside the empress dowager and raised her chin towards Song Wu. Song Wu knew that this ranking was something she had fought for.

Although he didn't really want to go up and dance, he still nodded to Yuehe in thanks.

Amid the music of chimes and guqin, it was soon Song Wu's turn.

She stood in the center of the stage, and the sound of stringed instruments slowly rose. However, just as she raised her arm slightly, she heard a crackling sound, and her golden silk shirt slipped, leaving a large tear at her shoulder.

Lu Yuehe stood up immediately.

Song Wu's shoulders revealed a large area of ​​snow-white skin, but she did not feel embarrassed. She immediately stopped dancing and knelt down to apologize to the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. My clothes are torn. If I continue dancing, it would be uncivilized. Please allow me to withdraw from this competition."

A hint of pride flashed across Song Chuchu's eyes.

She had picked out the dress and had her mother send it over. Of course, she would not let Song Wu steal the show at the concubine selection banquet.

Although she doesn't want to marry Prince Jin, she has to choose Jiang Xing, and Jiang Xing can't choose her!

So she still has to win this concubine selection.

Jiang Xing frowned.

Now that he has come and married her, how can he just back out?

Lu Yuehe quickly whispered a few words into the Queen Mother's ear. The Queen Mother smiled kindly and said, "That's all right. Go down and change your clothes! It'll be the same when you come back for the next round."

Song Wu kowtowed to express his gratitude and took Sang Luo to the back hall to change clothes.

She didn't bring any clothes with her when she entered the palace today. Now that the empress dowager asked her to change clothes, she was probably only able to borrow one from a palace maid.

Sang Luo went to borrow clothes. Song Wu and others were in the back hall of Jingyang Palace when there was a knock on the door.

She asked sharply, "Who?"

Fei Xing stood outside the door, holding the clothes that Jiang Xing had asked him to bring, and replied, "Miss Song, the prince asked me to bring you some clothes."

Song Wu was a little surprised when she heard Fei Xing's voice. She opened the door and said, "Thank you very much! Could you please bring your prince out? I came to the palace today just to see him and ask for his help!"

Feixing was stunned at first, then quickly left the back hall.

Song Wu changed his clothes, and soon the knock on the door sounded again.

Jiang Xing entered the back hall in a wheelchair and saw the autumn-colored brocade embroidery skirt that Song Wu was wearing. He thought it was a perfect fit and asked, "Miss Song, is it something important that you are looking for me?"

Feixing first checked the back hall, and finally went out and closed the door.

Song Wu moved the stool to the opposite side of his wheelchair and asked: "How long will it take for Your Majesty to send someone from the capital to Longchuan?"

Jiang Xing looked at her puzzledly: "Miss Song's important business is in Longchuan?"

Song Wu nodded, "I participated in the selection of concubines today just to meet the prince. There is an important matter that I need your help with!"

She said seriously, "I have an old friend who is buried in Longchuan. Someone may go and destroy the cemetery in the near future. I hope Your Majesty will send someone to help me guard it!"

Jiang Xing nodded. This matter was indeed a trivial matter to him. "It only takes my people half a month to get from the capital to Longchuan."

Song Wu breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, I'll leave it to you, Your Highness. The other party is from the black market and should have left a few days ago!"

Jiang Xing was actually a little surprised today. He didn't expect that this person who had only met him twice, with a cold exterior and a warm heart, would actually ask him for help!

Seeing that Song Wu was about to leave after she finished speaking, Jiang Xing grabbed her arm.

Song Wu frowned and turned back, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Jiang Xing smiled playfully, "Miss Song, since you asked me for help today, and you already knew a lot of my secrets, how could you not know that I need help too?"

He smiled unrestrainedly, and when Song Wu looked closely, his eyes were clear and bright, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.

Song Wu pulled her arm out of his grasp, and Jiang Xing continued, "Miss Song, do you know how much risk I've taken by coming out of the front hall to see you?"

Song Wu was stunned.

Yes, someone is trying to harm him, so he has to be wary of everyone.

Song Wu's expression eased slightly: "Did the prince find out who harmed you?"

His eyes were like cold stars, and he nodded: "I want to investigate this matter, but I am ill and it is a bit inconvenient. So I need Miss Song's help and borrow your identity."

This was of course no problem for Song Wu, so she agreed immediately.

There were footsteps outside, and Fei Xing knocked on the door outside the palace: "Your Highness, the Queen Mother has sent someone to urge Miss Song."

Song Wu and Jiang Xing had almost finished their conversation, so they immediately took Sang Luo, who was outside the door, back to the concubine selection hall.

The selection of concubines has reached the second stage: calligraphy and painting.

At this time, Song Chuchu painted a picture of koi playing in the water, which was praised by many noble ladies.

Song Wu was surprised. Song Chuchu had no knowledge of calligraphy or painting. This skill must have been acquired slowly in the Marquis' Mansion or the palace in her previous life!

When the Queen Mother saw Song Wu come in, her eyes never left her.

Song Wu also felt that the way the Queen Mother looked at her seemed more confused and scrutinizing than the shock just now.

"Miss Song," the Queen Mother said to Song Wu, "You didn't participate in the dance competition just now, but you should show off your calligraphy and painting skills now, right?"

Lu Yuehe had already helped Song Wu speak twice in front of the Queen Mother. If she brought up the injury on her hand again, the Queen Mother would obviously think that Song Wu was trying to shirk responsibility.

So Lu Yuehe was also worried. Most of the candidates who came to the selection of concubines for Prince Jin, whom the Empress Dowager Aunt valued the most, were not from famous families. Even Song Wu, who finally came, was so reluctant. It was obvious that she would be angry.

But Song Wu smiled faintly, bowed gracefully, and answered yes.
