I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

While the young masters were talking, the door of the bedroom opened and a figure in white tights walked out.

Gongsun Wan'er had a stern look on her pretty face, with a hint of a sneer hanging on her thin lips.

The young masters, led by Yan Guichao, quickly clasped their hands and bowed,

"Greetings, Miss Wan'er."

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Miss Wan'er has become even more beautiful. She is truly so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of their chests, geese drop to the ground, and the moon hide in shame."

"Yes, yes, Miss Wan'er is so beautiful and graceful that I can't help but want to compose a poem after seeing her."

"Miss Wan'er is naturally beautiful, with a face as beautiful as a flower. Words cannot even begin to describe her beauty."

These young masters showed off their literary talent and flattered Gongsun Wan'er to the utmost, and they even wanted to kneel down and lick her white boots.

Shen Changgong stood with his hands behind his back, motionless, without saying a word.

Those young masters thought to themselves that this commoner was really an old-fashioned fellow. Not only did he not have any literary talent, but he also didn't know how to curry favor with others.

Don't you know how thick Gongsun Wan'er's thighs are? She's the Empress's chief steward and personal bodyguard. She handles all the Empress's affairs, big and small. She's her most trusted confidant!

What a short-sighted old-fashioned person!

Gongsun Wan'er looked at him coldly and said slowly,

"Are you finished?"

"what?"

"Hurry up and stand still. His Majesty is coming. Be smart and no one is allowed to speak without His Majesty's permission.

Whoever Your Majesty gives the Jade Ruyi to will be the Emperor's husband and will become Your Majesty's principal wife and the first man.

understand? "

"understood."

Everyone nodded quickly.

After saying that, Gongsun Wan'er looked at Shen Changgong who was standing far away and said unhappily,

"Why are you standing so far away? Are these people going to eat you?"

Shen Changgong responded with a brilliant smile and said,

"That's not the case. It's just that these people said that I was too poor and would make them dirty. I was not worthy to stand with them. So I stood a little further away to avoid being contaminated by my poor and poor air."

Those people's eyes widened instantly.

No, buddy, are you playing?

We can say whatever we want in private, but you are saying this in front of the Grand Chamberlain. You are not giving us any face at all. Are you trying to flatter us in front of His Majesty?

Gongsun Wan'er is your Majesty's eyes and ears. If this gets to your Majesty's ears, how will he view us? How will he view you?

Where are the ways of the world, buddy?

Gongsun Wan'er glared at Shen Changgong fiercely, and then said,

"Stand here."

"Yes, Master General."

Shen Changgong stood next to those young masters.

Gongsun Wan'er turned around and went to invite the empress.

A moment later, the empress, wearing a red dragon robe, slowly walked out of the palace, and everyone outside the door knelt down.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone stood up and looked at the empress.

The empress held a jade ruyi in her hand and swept her eyes over everyone's faces.

The five young men all looked excited and tried their best to appear handsome, free and easy, yet respectful.

Longing for the favor of the empress.

After all, who wouldn't want to have children with the empress? Who wouldn't want the future emperor to have their own blood flowing in his veins?

That's something that can benefit several generations.

Only Shen Changgong looked up at the sky, sometimes moving his hands, sometimes taking a break, sometimes standing at attention, looking very unstable.

I was still silently saying in my heart, "Don't choose me, don't choose me"...

The empress's eyes swept across everyone, finally stopping at Shen Changgong's face, with a graceful smile on her lips.

Shen Changgong frowned and retreated behind the crowd.

He hid himself behind Yan Guichao without making a sound.

Gongsun Wan'er placed her hands on her lower abdomen and said respectfully,

"Your Majesty, the candidates have all arrived. Please set the questions and select the right person."

"No need, I already have someone in mind."

The empress walked out slowly.

The five young masters in front were stunned when they heard this. Wasn't the test about literary and military strategy, poetry and song? Why didn't they give any questions?

Your Majesty, do you already have a man you like in your heart?

who can that be?

The five of them jumped up at the same time, showing off their charm, hoping that Her Majesty the Empress would choose them and make themselves and their families prosperous.

The empress walked in the direction where Shen Changgong was.

But in front of him, there was a swallow returning to its nest.

Can't see me, can't see me...

Shen Changgong muttered to himself.

Finally, the empress stopped in front of Yan Guichao.

Shen Changgong breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Guichao was ecstatic, his pupils dilated, his breathing quickened, and he stared at the stunningly beautiful Empress, unable to believe it. He knew he had the greatest hope, but when this moment really came, he almost had his blood boiling.

He had already begun to imagine what the name of his future child with the empress would be.

He looked at the empress, and the empress looked at him.

Finally, the empress spoke.

"excuse me."

"Thank you very much...ah?"

Yan Guichao blurted out his thanks to His Majesty, but was a beat slow to react.

He looked at the empress in disbelief, and found it difficult to accept this matter for a moment.

The empress doesn't want to choose him, but wants him to give way?

He involuntarily stepped aside and looked behind him.

Only then did he realize that the peasant had come behind him without him noticing.

The empress wants to choose this commoner?

Shen Changgong also found it hard to believe, but that was the fact.

The empress took another step forward and handed the jade ruyi in her hand to Shen Changgong.

"I choose you."

Shen Changgong was confused.

No, beauty, are you blind?

The five people next to him are all handsome and elegant, knowledgeable, proficient in both civil and military strategies, and are all children of aristocrats.

You don't choose from the five phoenixes, but choose me, a country chicken?

Gongsun Wan'er was confused.

No! Your Majesty, how could you choose that lecher? How could flowers be stuck in cow dung? How could a dragon be paired with a pheasant?

If this guy becomes the emperor's husband in the future, he will definitely take revenge on me!

The five young masters around him were also confused, especially Yan Guichao.

That expression, as if he had eaten twenty years of stored rat shit, was extremely ugly, especially the sidelong glance he gave Shen Changgong, as if he wanted to cut him into pieces.

The empress looked at Shen Changgong, staring blankly and not accepting the jade ruyi, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Why, Master Shen doesn't accept the Jade Ruyi, but he despises me? What's the crime of defying the emperor?"

What did Master Shen say today at the parade grounds: exterminate three clans, or exterminate nine clans?

Looking at the playful look in the empress's eyes, Shen Changgong sighed and took the jade ruyi.

Now that things have come to this, let’s take it one step at a time.

The empress turned around and walked towards the bedroom.

Gongsun Wan'er said expressionlessly,

"The Emperor's husband, Shen Changgong, stay. The rest of you can go home."

"Wait a minute, I have something else to say!"

Yan Guichao shouted loudly.
