"Master, please forgive me. I have caused trouble for the Mo family." Wu Meiniang said with a look of shame.
Meton shook his head and said, "You are Mo Jiazi's younger brother, and the Mo family will always be your most solid support. I am also at fault for this. If I had not given Li Zhi hope, things would not have come to this point."
If he had not lamented their marriage in their previous life and deliberately let them discover the pendulum effect together, there would not be the current deadlock.
Seeing this, Princess Changle had no choice but to say, "Since you have made up your mind, I will go to the palace tomorrow and plead with my mother. I hope this matter will end here."
"No! Don't interfere. This matter is caused by Mei Niang, so let Mei Niang solve it herself. Tomorrow, I will go to the palace to ask for forgiveness from the Empress. "Wu Meiniang said fearlessly.
For ordinary girls, how could they dare to face Empress Zhangsun directly, but Wu Meiniang was determined to go to the palace alone and ask for forgiveness from the Empress. This courage alone was admirable.
"The Mo family will support you in this matter. As long as you don't agree, no one can force you to marry." Meton solemnly promised.
"Thank you, Master and Mistress!" Wu Meiniang nodded with tears in her eyes, bowed and turned to leave.
Looking at Wu Meiniang's leaving figure, Princess Changle said helplessly, "I persuaded Mei Niang not because Slave Zhi is my younger brother, but because if this marriage doesn't work out, I am afraid that some people will misunderstand the Mo family."
Meton was not moved at all and said, "If the Mo family is as flattering as the Confucian family, it will not sink for thousands of years. The monogamy system is the idea of the Mo family passed down for thousands of years. Marriage is voluntary, which is what you and I fought for together. As my disciple, it is natural for her to uphold this marriage law. This is her destiny, and also her struggle against destiny."
This time, it was not only Wu Meiniang challenging the imperial power, but also the conflict between the ideas of the Mo family and the imperial power.
The next day was the day of Prince Jin's concubine selection.
The entire harem was in an uproar. His Royal Highness Prince Jin was the legitimate son of Empress Zhangsun. He was a favored prince, not to mention that His Royal Highness Prince Jin had a slight chance of succeeding the throne.
Other than the Lanling Xiao Clan and the Taiyuan Wang Clan, almost all the other aristocratic families had sent their daughters of marriageable age. In an instant, the Administrative Hall was filled with beauties, and the most eye-catching among them were Xiao Hui 'er and Wang Qiang.
"Congratulations, Your Highness. The Lanling Xiao Clan is the descendant of the previous dynasty's Empress Xiao. The Xiao Clan is a famous Empress' clan and has many beauties in their clan. Xiao Hui 'er is even an outstanding talent of this generation. It is said that her appearance is not inferior to the current Empress Xiao." Zheng Chonghua smiled and said in the Li Zheng Hall. She had once been chosen by the royal family in a similar situation. Now, she could not help but feel deeply moved.
"Xiao Hui 'er is indeed as beautiful as a flower, but in terms of family background, Wang Qiang is slightly better, and her appearance is not inferior to her." The middle-aged lady beside her said. She was Tong' an Great Elder Princess, the younger sister of the Retired Emperor Li Yuan.
Tong 'an Great Elder Princess married into the Taiyuan Wang Family and was Wang Qiang's great-aunt. This time, the Wang Family did not hesitate to ask Tong' an Great Elder Princess to take charge of the selection for Prince Jin's concubine.
Empress Zhangsun nodded with a smile, but she was quite anxious. Prince Jin's concubine selection was about to begin, but Princess Changle and Wu Meiniang had not appeared yet.
"Where is Changle?" Empress Zhangsun asked with a frown.
"This servant has already sent a palace maid to inform the eldest princess. Calculating the time, it should be about time." A palace maid replied.
Tong 'an Great Elder Princess was the first Elder Princess, and Changle was the current Elder Princess. If the second Elder Princess, Princess Pingyang, had not died early, the three Elder Princesses would have been a much-told story.
"Changle has done a good job these years, and I have heard of her in Taiyuan."
Princess Changle presided over the Red Cross Society, and she was famous both in the imperial court and in the public. Tong 'an Great Elder Princess's praise was well-deserved.
"Don't worry, Great Elder Princess. I'm afraid that Elder Princess is persuading the future Princess Jin!" Zheng Chonghua answered. She supported Xiao Hui 'er, while Tong' an Great Elder Princess supported Wang Qiang. Zheng Chonghua did not mind making trouble for her.
Tong 'an Great Elder Princess frowned and said, "What's there to persuade? She is lucky that Prince Jin likes her. The Wu Family was born in a humble family, and she was lucky to be the disciple of Changle. Prince Jin is Changle's younger brother. Isn't it a good thing to tie the knot?"
Tong 'an Great Elder Princess was implying that Wang Qiang and Li Zhi should also tie the knot and strive for the position of Princess Jin for Wang Qiang.
Zheng Chonghua chuckled and said, "Great Elder Princess, you don't know that the Mo Family doesn't like to tie the knot. Tie the knot doesn't necessarily tie the knot."
Zheng Chonghua countered by saying that Wang Qiang was tied the knot, which resolved the advantage of Wang Qiang's relatives and fought for the opportunity for Xiao Hui 'er.
"Alright, today is the day of the Jin Prince's consort selection. Whoever the Jin Prince fancies will be the Jin Prince's consort. Everything will be decided by the Jin Prince." Empress Zhangsun raised her eyebrows and spoke in a clear voice.
"Good. Now young people advocate marriage voluntarily, and they don't like our arranged marriage." Tong 'an Great Elder Princess sighed and sneered in her heart. Ordinary people might get married voluntarily, but it might not work at all in the imperial family. Marriage was the eternal melody of the imperial family.
"It depends on Prince Jin's opinion."
In the Lizheng Hall, a group of beauties couldn't help but feel happy. That was to say, as long as Prince Jin liked them, they would also have a chance to become the Princess Jin even though they were from poor families.
"Wishful thinking." Wang Qiang rolled her eyes slightly and knew the plan of these beauties. The noblest aristocratic family in the world was the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. All men in the world were proud to marry a woman with the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. How could these deep-rooted ideas be changed in a short time? Her only opponent was Xiao Hui 'er.
Xiao Hui 'er's heart moved slightly. Since marriage was carried out voluntarily, all men and women in the world needed to meet each other before marriage. During the short contact with Prince Jin, she clearly felt that Li Zhi, Prince Jin, looked at her passionately.
"It's not clear who will win." Xiao Hui 'er smiled coquettishly and thought in her heart.
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a palace maid came forward to report.
"Princess Changle wants to see you! No, a woman with Princess Changle's token comes to see you. "The palace maid reported.
"A woman with Changle's token?" Empress Zhangsun's heart moved, and she suddenly had a candidate in her heart.
"Let her in!"
Following Empress Zhangsun's order, everyone's eyes were focused on the main entrance of the hall. Soon, a beautiful figure appeared in front of everyone.
"Ah!"
However, when the crowd saw this woman, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. This woman was dressed boldly. She was dressed in a modified black robe that accentuated her curves. It was a world of difference compared to a beauty dressed in palace attire. Her exquisite makeup and flirtatious orange-red hair gave her a different kind of charm.
"Blazing Red Lips!"
At this moment, the most appropriate word flashed in the hearts of the beauties. Even Xiao Hui 'er, who was secretly called a vixen by the beauties, couldn't compare to this woman.
"There's a Hu woman participating in the selection?" Many beauties muttered secretly.
"No! She's the eldest senior sister of the Mo family, Wu Meiniang! " Xiao Hui 'er withdrew her flirtatious expression and said with a solemn expression. The Wu Meiniang she saw was valiant and valiant, and had the aura of a woman who wasn't inferior to men. However, the Wu Meiniang in front of her was the opposite extreme. Flirtatious, seductive, dangerous, and all kinds of temperaments mixed together, making people unable to resist.
"Why does she have red hair? Wasn't it red before?" Wang Qiang said in disbelief. She, who was deeply educated in Confucian ethics, couldn't accept Wu Meiniang's style.
"What's so strange about that? The Daoist secret hair dyeing technique can dye white hair black. Naturally, it can also dye black hair red." Xiao Hui 'er snorted coldly.
"I see." Only then did the beauties come to a realization. They looked at Wu Meiniang's red hair with disdain and yearning. This kind of hair color was too stunning.
"This subject, Wu Meiniang, kowtows in salute to Your Majesty the Empress." Wu Meiniang walked forward and bowed.
"Traitorous Sutra!"
"She's playing to the gallery."
Zheng Chonghua and Great Elder Princess Tong 'an were also in an uproar. No one had expected that Wu Meiniang would be so bold to rebel against the royal family.
Looking at Wu Meiniang's flirtatious appearance, Empress Zhangsun couldn't help getting angry and questioned, "If you want to annoy me in this rebellious way and give up the opportunity to enter the palace, I think you've achieved your goal."
When the emperor was angry, millions of corpses would be killed. However, as the empress, Empress Zhangsun was also infuriated, and all the concubines were frightened.
"This wild girl usually relies on Princess Changle's favor. This time, she has angered the Empress. Even Princess Changle can't save you." Great Elder Princess Tong 'an seemed to be watching a good show. Wu Meiniang lost the position of Princess Jin, so Wang Qiang had the opportunity to take charge of the whole Princess Jin.
