The banquet in the palace was very important. It was not only Zhao Nanyu who went in Zhao's family, but also everyone who had official positions in the palace had to go. No one knew who sent out the news that the emperor wanted to take advantage of this birthday to point out marriage for several unmarried princes.

Several princes who were most likely to win the throne of the East Palace were among them.

As soon as the news came out, many high-ranking women who had not yet been married in the capital were moved by the news. The status of a prince was noble. If their family could marry the royal family, of course, it would be a great good thing.

There was only one girl in the second room of the Zhao family. She was not very healthy and often gets sick. So she spent most of these years outside the villa cultivating. In the past two years, she gradually recovered and returned to the capital. The younger sister just arrived this year. The second wife finally persuaded the second master to take her with her.

The two carriages of the Zhao family were parked in front of the door. Song Luan saw this little sister who almost never showed up before she got on the carriage. Zhao Min had a beautiful appearance, and a quiet temperament.

Zhao Min also saw her. She paid her respects and did a greeting ceremony. The tone was distance and alienated, "Second sister-in-law."

Zhao Min was wearing a very festive dress today. She was pretty and nimble with her red skirt, delicate skin, and beautiful features. She had an excellent jade pendant on her wrist.

Song Luan gave her a friendly smile, "Fifth Younger Sister"

Zhao Nanyu didn't seem to care much about this sister. After glancing and nodding, and then said his greetings. He gently clasped Song Luan's five fingers, "It's late. Let's go. "

Song Luan followed him to the carriage. Zhao's house was not far from the palace gate. There were so many officials and family members entering the palace today, so for a while, the gate of the palace was blocked. The carriages parked outside looked like a long dragon.

Song Luan couldn't hold back her curiosity. She opened the window, stretched out her head and looked out. She found that the line was extremely long. She estimated that they had to wait long for their turn. She drew back her face and sat in her position in a proper manner.

In fact, the carriage was actually not big, it was only enough to accommodate the two of them. Song Luan was so bored that she had no choice but to talk to Zhao Nanyu. She asked, "How can Erbo bring Min Hui's sister into the palace today? Does he also want Min Hui's sister to show her face in the emperor to get married with the prince?"

Zhao Nanyu grasped her cool hand, and casually said, "Several princes haven't had any imperial concubine yet. It's not surprising that the second uncle wants to fight for opportunities for this fifth younger sister."

He took a deep look at Song Luan and held her palm harder. There were many people in the world who were obsessed with power, even Song Luan was included. He remembered that she liked the power status of gold, silver, jewelry, and the feeling of being held high.

Song Luan didn't know that the man thought of her past again. She nodded, "I understand, people would climb up high if they had the chance."

Zhao Nanyu sighed, "Yes."

Now that she liked those, he would give them all to her, so that she would not have a chance to escape.

Absolute power means no one can't resist.

Most of the information about the emperor's selection of imperial concubines for his sons came from the palace. It was certain that the emperor deliberately let the information spread among the people. Since ancient times, the princes' marriage had never been a matter of mutual love, but a game between all forces. Today's agenda was suspicious. The candidates must have already been decided to balance the strength of all parties.
