C683 Rumor
At the same time, a small carriage slowly headed toward the imperial city. Inside the carriage was an old man with white hair at his temples.0
Beside the old man sat two beauties, one big and the other small, both gentle and virtuous, bringing with them the beauties of noble families, the small and agile, their eyes occasionally revealing lively and mischievous expressions, if Jiang Dong saw them, he would definitely be mad.
The two girls were Elder Qiao and Younger Qiao. When the old man saw the two girls looking out, he couldn't help but say, "Younger Qiao, the envoys from the other countries should enter the capital to pay their respects. Don't cause any trouble."
Younger Qiao smiled lightly and let go of the curtain. She could not help but ask, "Why did we come to the Imperial City? "Father."
Qiao Xuan replied, "I was an official in the imperial court back then. I was invited by my old friend Situ Wang Yun to come to the capital to have a look at the prosperity of the imperial city."
Younger Qiao asked in a crisp voice, "Then how is the talent of Jiang Dong compared to that of the imperial city?"
Qiao Xuan was surprised, but immediately shook his head and laughed, "How can Firefly Fire compete with Haoyue?"
Time flowed on unhurriedly. A month had passed, and the previously bustling imperial city was once again in an uproar. All types of restaurants were surrounded so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. People began to fight and discuss amongst themselves.
This was the day of Princess Wu Tie's selection. The previous time, she had challenged the Human Emperor for the Royal Consort Preliminaries, which made this time's Royal Consort Preliminaries even more different. Even without the Human Emperor, Shen Muqing's current status was like the most watched prince in the imperial city.
This meant that as long as they managed to climb the branch of Shen Muqing, their family would be able to rise to greatness, and their prosperity would deepen. Within the imperial garden, tens of thousands of flowers would bloom, and the empress dowager would sit up straight in her seat.
However, the beauties were not competing with each other. They were all looking forward to it. At that moment, Shen Muqing appeared, wearing a phoenix wing robe and walking on the Lotus Root Starlight Boots.
Beside him was Zhangsun Wugou, who was similarly dressed. Her originally beautiful face was now even more unfathomable, causing all the other ladies in the hall to lose their luster.
Even Zhong Ling, like Wu Meiniang and Lee Shishi, who were the most outstanding ladies in the capital, felt defeated when they saw Zhangsun Wugou. Even Wu Meiniang and Lee Shishi, who were the most talented ladies, felt defeated when they saw Zhangsun Wugou.
In contrast, the empress dowager was rather happy. "Qing`er, Wugou, come quickly and take a seat."
After calling Shen Muqing and Zhangsun Wugou to his side, Shen Muqing leisurely went up to Zhangsun Wugou and pulled her closer. With a smile, he said, "Let's begin."
Her actions seemed barely discernible, but it was enough to let people know that the relationship between the wangfei and the prince was very close. The beautiful ladies that could remain in this stage were all rich and powerful families, and there was no lack of noble daughters.
Shen Muqing's actions just now were a bit humble towards Zhangsun Wugou, but it was clear that Zhangsun Wugou held a high position in Shen Muqing's heart. Thinking of this, all the girls looked at Zhangsun Wugou with envy.
Being Prince of Yan's legal wife was Prince of Yan's favorite dream for all the women in the world. The first selection and the first selection were different, so the first selection was enough.
The latter had to be filtered out step by step, and the latter had to be entered directly into the prince's mansion. Naturally, one had to check out their family background and personality before being able to do so after confirming that there were no mistakes.
