Chapter 171 Panic

July and August were undoubtedly eventful months, two months that could turn the world upside down in Dayong. News from all over the country was flying everywhere, intelligence was pouring down, and prophecies were sweeping the world.

After the three kings, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, arrived in Suzaku City, the news that the emperor had ordered a selection of concubines spread quickly throughout the major states like locusts.

Just as the heads of the noble families and the women of marriageable age were worried about it, the news that the four kings believed in the auspicious sign from heaven and declared their loyalty to the princess added fuel to the fire, making the situation even more intense and completely disrupting the current situation in Dayong.

The wind was howling, and the generals and commanders from all over the country were watching the changes. The heads of the merchant families could not help but start thinking about countermeasures, fearing that they would be involved in the crime of treason and rebellion, and they acted unconsciously cautiously.

Of course, the most anxious and uneasy ones are the civil and military officials and the major families in the imperial capital. They are worried that the emperor's failure to keep the throne will affect their family interests, that the eldest princess really has the intention of rebellion and will purge the officials in the court in the future, and that the eldest princess and the four vassal kings will start a war and lead troops to attack the imperial city and kill countless people.

Speculations are everywhere, and the aristocratic families that are slightly affected are beginning to get nervous, but the Princess Mansion in Suzaku City is still peaceful and peaceful, as if it is not affected by the outside situation at all.

After the young and gentle and handsome King Xuanwu paid his respects, he looked at the noble and beautiful eldest princess in front of him and couldn't help comparing his own sister with the ninth princess.

In terms of appearance, the eldest princess is the most beautiful in the world, and her beauty is compelling, while his sister is more heroic.

In terms of temperament, the eldest princess is on par with her sister, but she is a little more indifferent than her sister - on the surface, it seems that the sister is more indifferent, because the person in power needs to maintain dignity.

Although the eldest princess looked relaxed and lazy, there was always an indescribable temperament between her eyebrows, as if she didn't pay attention to anything and was indifferent to everything in the world.

The two of them were actually very different.

But no matter what, King Xuanwu admired women with ability and temperament, and thought they were all great people, more amazing than many men.

Yan Qing didn't care about his scrutiny, and said in a light tone: "How old is King Xuanwu this year?"

Ye Jinglan came back to his senses: "Reply to the eldest princess, I am nineteen years old."

"You are still young, no wonder you don't have much dignity."

Ye Jinglan: "..." Is he despised?

"But as a man, and having inherited the title of Xuanwu King, you can't always be so lacking in dignity." Yan Qing took a sip of tea, "I hope your title is worthy of its name."

Ye Jinglan was silent for a moment: "In fact, I don't mind giving the title to my sister, she is more qualified than me."

Although there are very few women in Dayong who are generals, and there is only one precedent of enthroning a woman as king, after a hundred years of inheritance, the Suzaku King City was forcibly changed to a man inheriting the title of king by the previous two emperors.

It is conceivable that Ye Jinglan's idea is almost impossible to achieve.

But things are not absolute.

If the eldest princess in front of him succeeds in ascending the throne, will it be a problem for a woman to be king?

"Eldest Princess Sister! Eldest Princess Sister!" A girl came quickly outside, with a somewhat uneasy expression, "The Emperor is going to select a beauty!"

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became quiet.

Yan Qing slowly turned his head and looked at the angry little girl: "A talent show?"

"Yeah." Mu Dongli nodded, and couldn't help frowning, "I am also among the women of the right age, what should I do? What if I don't go, will I be punished for disobeying the emperor's order?"

"What's the hurry?" Yan Qing reached out and touched her head, "Don't worry, he can't choose the show."
