After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

The northern border is thriving, and now that the troops in various regions have been replenished, the establishment of a nation is just one step away.

Establishing a Crown Princess as soon as possible will avoid many troubles in the future.

"Go and call them all over."

The old lady gave the order, and a maidservant went to carry it out. In just a moment, Liu Longyue, Luo Wushuang, Dong Xian'er, and He Ya arrived.

"Ge Fei, Mo Lan, you two go over there too."

The old lady waved her hand, and Ge Fei and Mo Lan stood blankly beside the four women.

Then the old lady smiled and waved to Qin Liangyu and Li Xiuning in the military ranks. The two women looked at each other and stepped forward.

Zhang Liang and Liu Bowen almost burst out laughing when they saw this.

Chen Futu glared at the two of them with annoyance.

And so, eight beautiful women stood in the middle of the hall.

Each of the eight women has her own unique characteristics.

Chen Futu's gaze naturally fell on Qin Liangyu, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting affection.

Qin Liangyu felt uneasy under the old gaze and asked, "What does the old lady mean?"

"Zhensu, don't be anxious. The reason I called you here today is to select a candidate for the Crown Prince's wife. Who do you think would be a good candidate?"

The old lady asked the question knowing the answer already.

As soon as he finished speaking, the civil and military officials on both sides couldn't help but laugh.

Anyone in the northern frontier with ears knows that the Crown Prince's favorite war god is Qin.

The idea of ​​the old lady personally questioning the person involved is somewhat abstract.

As expected, Qin Liangyu noticed the teasing looks from the crowd, her pretty face immediately turned red, and she awkwardly clasped her hands and said, "This humble general dares not be presumptuous, but I leave it to the old lady to decide."

Li Xiuning secretly patted Qin Liangyu's waist and winked at her, "Sister Qin, isn't it obvious? The old lady wants an explanation from you, otherwise this matter won't be resolved."

Qin Liangyu's face darkened, and she pushed away the restless little hand.

Liu Longyue, standing to the side, curled her lips, her beautiful white fox face full of coldness and arrogance. As for Mo Lan, Ge Fei, and the others, they all lowered their heads and dared not speak. Only Luo Wushuang scratched her head in the back. She never thought that she could get involved in such a thing. Although it was just a formality, it was too abrupt.

The old lady disliked Qin Liangyu's answer and asked Zhang Liang, "Military Advisor Zhang, you tell me, who is suitable?"

"Ah this..."

Zhang Liang stepped forward reluctantly; he had only come to watch the play, and he was not to overstep his bounds.

Furthermore, among the eight beauties, the least likely is Mo Lan, because she had been with a man before. The old lady included her to give face to the Mo family and also for the sake of harmony in the future of the royal mansion.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang said, "I think it's fine as long as the young master likes it..."

"Military Advisor Zhang truly lives up to his reputation as the strategist of the Northern Frontier; his words are always so pleasing to the ear."

The old lady frowned in annoyance.

Who did Chen Futu like? Who among those present didn't know?

The purpose of summoning Zhang Liang was to ask him how to persuade Qin Liangyu to agree to become the Crown Prince's consort!

Zhang Liangchui had no choice but to secretly wink at Liu Bowen, knowing that it was best not to let a military officer offer his opinion on such matters.

Liu Bowen, however, put his hands behind his back and pretended not to hear.

Zhang Liang narrowed his eyes and grinned, "Madam, I've heard that Mr. Qingtian claims to have foreseen the next six hundred years. Why don't you ask him?"

"Zhang Zifang, you..."

Liu Bowen couldn't hold back any longer.

This shameless bastard couldn't give an answer himself, so he just exposed him. He was just there to make up the numbers!

The claim that he could foresee six hundred years into the future was something Zhu Yuanzhang forced upon him; it's completely unfounded.

The old lady suddenly remembered this and hurriedly called Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen stepped forward reluctantly, while Zhang Liang took the opportunity to retreat back to the train, looking smug.

The generals were struggling to suppress their laughter, but unexpectedly, the two strategists started arguing.

"Replying to Madam, the young master's destined partner is indeed among these women, but as for which one..."

Liu Bowen paused, glancing at Qin Liangyu out of the corner of his eye.

Qin Liangyu pretended not to see it.

Liu Bowen had no choice but to say, "How about we test him?"

These words caused an uproar throughout the room.

Zhang Liang and Yu Qian secretly cursed him as an old fox.

As expected of Liu Bowen, he doesn't want to offend anyone. If nothing unexpected happens, most of the people present will be taken into the Crown Prince's harem. Now, proposing that someone become the Crown Prince's consort would offend others. It's a thankless task, and it would be a miracle if Liu Bowen were willing to do it.

The old lady thought for a moment, then looked at Chen Futu, who had remained silent, and asked, "Son, what do you think?"

"I have no objection to Mother's decision."

"Alright, Mr. Qingtian, Mr. Zifang, and Mr. Yu, please work hard and come up with a plan as soon as possible. We will conduct an assessment in three days to select the most suitable Crown Princess."

"I accept your order!"

The meeting concluded, and everyone left, including the several stunning beauties.

Chen Futu was stopped by Liu Longyue as soon as he stepped out. Her cold, white fox-like face was slightly indifferent. "Your Highness, if I remember correctly, I am your prisoner. How can I be qualified to be the Crown Prince's consort?"

"When the old lady calls you, you should respond. If you displease her, I will never let you off the hook."

"In that case, I will deal with it casually and not offend the Crown Prince and the Old Madam."

Liu Longyue took two steps, then turned back and said, "It seems we won't be able to transport the money for the time being."

"Princess, you'd better behave yourself and not cause any trouble these next few days."

"I have noted it down."

Liu Longyue smiled freely, swayed gracefully, and drifted away, leaving behind a lingering fragrance.

Just as Liu Longyue left, Li Xiuning suddenly ran over and pulled Chen Futu away. Chen Futu asked suspiciously, "Where are we going?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Li Xiuning dragged Chen Futu to a waterside pavilion, where they saw Qin Liangyu waiting in the distance.

Chen Futu's face stiffened, but Li Xiuning gave him a push, "Go quickly, Sister Qin is waiting for you."

Chen Futu awkwardly straightened his robes and came to the waterside pavilion. Qin Liangyu knelt on one knee with her hand on her sword, "Please, Your Highness, retract your order."

"General Qin, why are you doing this?"

"This humble general is devoted to the battlefield and has no desire to marry. I hope Your Highness will grant my request."

"What if I, the Crown Prince, do not agree?"

Chen Futu felt frustrated. Although the system had warned him that the condensed personality was unlikely to be romantic, he was still so incompetent that Qin Liangyu had to reject him.

Qin Liangyu said in a deep voice, "If the young master insists on doing so, this humble general will kneel here forever."

"Then you'll make me kneel!"

Chen Futu turned and sat down at the table, his expression growing increasingly grim.

Qin Liangyu truly knelt there, head bowed, without uttering a word.

Mo Lan, Luo Wushuang, and the others happened to be taken for a walk near the garden by Chen Yuling. They looked at this scene from a distance and couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.

They couldn't understand why Qin Liangyu kept refusing.

Looking at the world, the Crown Prince can be considered a hero of our time. No matter how talented Qin Liangyu is, she will eventually have to get married. Moreover, given how much the Crown Prince values ​​her, if he were to gain the throne in the future, she would undoubtedly be the Empress. Other women would probably be overjoyed, but she absolutely refuses to agree, which is simply outrageous.

Meanwhile, Liu Bowen and others gathered for a meeting to discuss how to conduct the examination.

The generals naturally preferred a martial arts contest, but Yu Qian felt that as the future empress, he should definitely choose someone with exceptional talent, a stable personality, and a broad perspective.

Among the group of women, Qin Liangyu is the most suitable, followed by Li Xiuning and Luo Wushuang, and lastly Dong Xian'er. As for Liu Longyue and He Ya, they are enemies in the Northern Frontier, and Ge Fei and Mo Lan are even less suitable, one having been engaged and the other being a married woman.

The old lady included all the unsuitable ones, clearly eager to establish a consort for the crown prince. Today, no matter what, she must come up with a plan.
