Time Travel: The Useless Prince, First Destroy the Princess

Chapter 38 It’s time to choose a concubine for the crown prince

"Your Majesty, I salute you!"

Liu Zhi picked up her white jade cup, filled it with wine and toasted Liu Yan.

Liu Zhi's skin is white with a rosy glow, making her look even more charming.

Liu Yan laughed, picked up the cup and drank it all.

Liu Zhi carefully filled Liu Yan's glass with wine.

"My dear! You should drink a few more cups today!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Liu Zhi understood what Liu Yan meant.

Liu Zhao listened to the conversation and it seemed that Liu Yan was really good at having fun!

Drink to liven things up, but what should I do tonight?

The palace maids were dancing gracefully in the middle of the hall, each of them looking so charming that Liu Zhao couldn't help but feel his mouth dry.

If it really doesn't work, should I find a maid to release him like Tang Dan said?

I feel like my body can’t hold on any longer!

He took a deep breath, stood up and picked up the glass.

"Father, your son also respects you!"

Liu Yan nodded and asked, "Has the Buddha appeared in your dreams recently?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, no!"

"That's fine, but Father is very pleased with the changes you've seen in the past few months!"

As Liu Yan spoke, he finished the wine in his glass first.

Liu Zhao finished drinking and slowly sat down.

"My beloved! What do you think of Zhao'er's recent performance?"

Although Liu Zhi was close to Liu Zhao, she did not go to the East Palace to see Liu Zhao unless there was something important, due to palace rules.

The information about Liu Zhao being possessed by Buddha was actually given by Liu Yan.

"Your Majesty, I think the Buddha is truly powerful. Zhao'er will surely become smarter and smarter soon!"

"Auntie, I toast to you!"

Of course Liu Zhao couldn't forget Liu Zhi, so he stood up and bowed.

She is his closest supporter.

Therefore, she was not called "Empress Dowager", but was called "Auntie", a very intimate title.

"Toast me?"

Liu Zhi was obviously a little surprised, as if she didn't have this etiquette.

"Zhao'er is toasting you, just drink it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Drink less! Don't make a fool of yourself in front of so many people!" Liu Zhi did not forget to tell Liu Zhao before she finished drinking.

"Yes, auntie!"

Liu Zhao was very grateful to Liu Zhi. If it weren't for her, Sima Yu would still be staying in the Eastern Palace.

Maybe he is still sitting with me drinking at this moment, that would be terrible!

Liu Zhi just sat down after drinking.

As expected, Sima Yu cannot be thought of.

Liu Yan then asked Liu Zhi, "How long has the Crown Princess been in Jinyuan City?"

"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess passed away on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and today is exactly four months!"

"Oh no! Liu Yan is not going to let Sima Yu come back!"

Liu Zhao's heart sank.

Liu Zhi's heart tightened, and she said casually, "Your Majesty, it's been four months. The climate there is cold, and the Crown Princess has suffered a lot. Let the Crown Princess return to the palace!"

"You're right. The conditions in Jinyuan City are poor. It's time to come back!"

Liu Yan looked at Sima Bei who was drinking alone not far away.

"It's completely over!"

Liu Zhao didn't expect that Liu Zhi would be the first to ask Sima Yu to come back. What does this mean?

I can't stop it.

The power of a fierce woman is equivalent to ten killing weapons.

And Sima Yu is the best of the fierce women.

If she comes back, I will find a way to kill her!

Anyway, she has high blood pressure, so it shouldn't be difficult to kill her.

No poison, no husband!

Liu Zhao gritted his teeth and knew that he would not be able to live unless Sima Yu disappeared.

"Then I dare to ask Your Majesty, would you like to set a date? I can bring people to bring her back!"

"She's so proud, it's a joke that you, the queen, have to pick her up!"

"Your Majesty, after all, the Crown Princess's move to Jinyuan City is related to me. I, I feel uneasy!" Liu Zhi gently wiped the corners of her eyes.

Liu Yan looked at Liu Zhi with a complicated expression.

Then he said, "Logically speaking, four months is enough to punish her, but Zhao'er has been reading Buddhist scriptures recently. If she returns to the palace, it will have a huge impact. So, she should stay for a while longer!"

"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess has been in Jinyuan City for several months. Perhaps her personality has changed!"

Liu Zhi continued.

“It’s easy to change a country but hard to change one’s nature!”

Liu Yan's expression changed.

"I've known the wife of the Duke of Qi since she married the Duke of Qi. In decades, I've never seen her act virtuous. Like mother, like daughter. This saying is absolutely true!"

"Then, should we let her stay in Jinyuan City?"

"Yes, no matter how poor the conditions in Jinyuan City are, it is still the imperial palace after all!"

"Yes, Your Majesty is wise!"

Liu Zhi said slowly.

"Damn, I scared you to death!"

Liu Zhao felt relieved and was almost so excited that he wanted to kneel down and kowtow a few times to express his excitement.

After Liu Zhi finished speaking, she gave Liu Zhao a cunning look.

Liu Zhao understood instantly that Liu Zhi's move was to retreat in order to advance!

It seems that this aunt is quite scheming!

"However, Zhao'er is always bored in the palace alone. I think it's time to find him a concubine. He can also have a companion and can't always stay with Tang Dan!"

Liu Yan frowned. His previous reminder to Liu Zhao was completely useless.

For four months, Liu Zhao neither looked for Xie Chan nor the maid.

This is not possible!

If he doesn't go looking for one, then I can only find one for her myself.

Otherwise, when will the task of continuing the family line be completed?

"Your Majesty, find a Crown Prince's concubine for Zhao'er?"

Liu Zhi was a little surprised.

What was even more surprising was Liu Zhao. He didn't let the Crown Princess come back, but found a Crown Princess for himself?

You won’t find another ugly one!

Liu Zhao nodded and said, "The candidate for the Crown Princess this time must be the daughter or granddaughter of a second-rank official or above present. She must be beautiful, gentle and virtuous, well-versed in the "Legitimate Women's Code" and well-educated."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Liu Zhao almost applauded!

My heart is pounding unconsciously!

I vaguely guessed Liu Yan's idea, which was to leave a descendant!

Then Sima Yu will not come back?

"Your Majesty, but where is the Crown Princess?"

Liu Zhi was a little hesitant.

She could only mention Sima Yu and did not dare to mention Sima Bei.

"The Crown Princess is still the Crown Princess! The Crown Prince's Concubine is still lower than her! Besides, if I want the Crown Prince to marry a concubine, do I need to ask her?"

"Yes, Your Majesty! It was my fault for not thinking it through!"

Liu Zhi couldn't help but glance at Sima Bei.

"Duke Qi won't say anything!"

Liu Yan saw Liu Zhi's worry.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Liu Zhi agreed casually, adhering to the request of not asking about political affairs.

"I'll leave this to you! The wedding will be held after October, and let Song Xian choose the date!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After saying this, Liu Yan turned to Liu Zhao and asked, "Did you hear what the emperor and your aunt said?"

Liu Zhao pretended to be terrified and said, "Your Highness, I heard it!"

"That's good. This time, Father will choose a good one for you!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Liu Zhao immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.

I don’t know who will be chosen?

But according to Liu Yan's request, and Liu Zhi's personal selection, it shouldn't be bad this time!

So, who is sitting below? Could he be his other father-in-law?

I couldn't help but feel a little longing.
