Tang Dynasty: Consort Wu? Your Majesty, please address her as the Crown Prince's Consort.

Li Chengqian, who was not far away, also noticed this scene.

"Hey! This is going to be interesting, Elbow! Let's go check it out!"

After saying that, Li Chengqian pulled Wu Meiniang and Li Qingya toward Su Wan and the others.

When the women saw that it was Li Chengqian who had come, they quickly bowed.

"This humble woman greets Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Hmm! No need for formalities. What brings you here?"

Upon hearing Li Chengqian's question, the woman surnamed Wang immediately began to cry.

"Your Highness, you must stand up for me and for the Wang family of Taiyuan! I only had a verbal argument with her, but she actually hit me without warning."

And those three of them, they actually teamed up with Su Wan to bully me!

Her fragile, tearful appearance, combined with her disheveled state, made her look incredibly pitiful, as if she had suffered countless injustices.

Upon hearing her words, Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

The woman in front of me even made a point of mentioning the Wang family of Taiyuan, as if she was afraid I wouldn't know she came from the Wang family of Taiyuan.

However, Hou Xiaoyun couldn't stand it anymore after hearing this.

"What nonsense are you spouting?! You were the one who started the insolence and mockery of His Highness the Crown Prince. Sister Su was merely speaking up for him, and instead of showing remorse, you insulted her!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Li Chengqian raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Wan with a gentle expression.

Their eyes met in mid-air. Looking at Li Chengqian's warm and handsome face, Su Wan subconsciously avoided his gaze for only a moment, a blush rising on her cheeks.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is clearly a brave and skilled warrior, fighting for the people of the Tang Dynasty. How can you be called a reckless brute? Your Majesty is clearly a hero!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian was also stunned for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on his lips as he stepped forward and appeared in front of Su Wan.

The two were so close that Li Chengqian could even hear the other's rapid breathing.

"Do you really think I'm a hero?"

"Yes...yes!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Good! Well said!"

Snapped!

Li Chengqian laughed as he swung his hand behind him.

The slap landed hard on the face of the woman surnamed Wang behind them.

A red handprint quickly appeared on the other half's face.

The latter was stunned by the slap, and his eyes were full of disbelief as he looked at Li Chengqian!

When she looked up at Li Chengqian, she met his cold and murderous eyes, and sweat instantly soaked her back.

"Heh! What a fine example of the Wang family of Taiyuan! Since when have the Wang family of Taiyuan been able to speak ill of me like this in private?"

Pfft!

As the eldest daughter of the Wang family of Taiyuan, she had been pampered since childhood and had never seen such a terrifying gaze before. She was so frightened that she fell to the ground with a thud.

"Your Highness...Your Highness! This humble woman would not dare!"

Upon seeing this, Li Chengqian slowly withdrew his imposing aura and then put on an innocent look.

"What are you doing? Anyone who didn't know better would think I was bullying a woman. That slap was a lesson learned. You can get out now!"

Upon hearing Li Chengqian's order to leave, the eldest daughter of the Wang family was not angry at all; instead, she felt as if she had been given a new lease on life.

She scrambled and stumbled towards the exit of the Imperial Garden, looking like a stray dog.

Although Li Chengqian did not actually intend to punish her, the Wang family of Taiyuan had completely lost face.

With the interlude over, Li Chengqian turned his attention back to Su Wan and the others.

"The Su family of Wugong—daughters of the Duke of Wei, the Duke of Lu, and the Duke of Ying—I never imagined you'd all end up together!"

"Your Highness is too kind. It was several young ladies from duke families who stepped forward to help!"

The speaker was Su Wan, whose gentle voice was like a spring breeze, and whose every move exuded elegance and grace.

She's much more pleasing to the eye than those arrogant women from prestigious families.

Meanwhile, Li Ling'er looked at Li Chengqian with curiosity, and the latter, noticing Li Ling'er's gaze, couldn't help but smile.

"After looking at me for so long, what do you think of me?"

"Yes! It was indeed impressive! Father said Your Highness was incredibly brave, daring to charge His Majesty's Xuanjia Army with just a dozen men!"

Li Ling'er spoke frankly, her eyes filled with inquiry as she looked at Li Chengqian.

Li Xinran and Hou Xiaoyun, standing to the side, also looked at Li Chengqian with curiosity.

Whether in modern times or ancient times, what woman doesn't like handsome men?

Moreover, this handsome man is the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also brave and skilled in battle. He has good looks, high status, and great abilities.

Seeing the looks in their eyes, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile, and then shamelessly said:

"Since you all like me, then all four of you can become my wives!"

Upon hearing this, the four people froze in shock.

"Your Highness...you're being far too blunt!"

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, even the usually carefree Hou Xiaoyun and the seemingly cold Li Ling'er couldn't help but blush.

They hadn't expected the Crown Prince to speak so bluntly and explicitly.

Wu Meiniang and Li Qingya behind him couldn't help but open their mouths in surprise.

Wasn't today supposed to be the selection of the Crown Princess? How come four were chosen all at once?

Just then, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun arrived late, and everyone quickly bowed to them.

"This humble woman greets Your Majesty and Her Majesty the Empress!"

"Hehe! No need for formalities, please rise!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

……

Then Li Shimin led Empress Zhangsun to Li Chengqian and the others and asked:

"How is it? This time I'm letting you choose for yourself. Is there anything you like?"

"This is the selection of a principal wife, so don't you dare mess things up for me!"

Upon hearing his father's words, Li Chengqian immediately pointed to Su Wan and the other three beside him and said with a smile:

"Father! I want all four of them!"

Upon hearing this, both Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were taken aback.

"Four...four?! You've got your eye on four?!"

Upon hearing his unfilial son's words, Li Shimin was completely dumbfounded.

No?

I gave you the task of choosing a Crown Princess today, okay? What the hell do you mean by choosing four?

Seeing his old man's shocked expression, Li Chengqian couldn't help but show a helpless look.

"Oh! Your son doesn't want to choose only four. Every single one of them is beautiful, and I like them all. If you agree, I'll compromise and marry them all."

"Mainly, I was thinking that since today is the selection of Crown Princesses, it wouldn't be appropriate to marry them all at once, so for now, I'll just choose the four I like best!"

"You son of a bitch! You want to marry them all? I don't even have that many concubines, and you're acting like you're doing me a disservice?"

Upon hearing his unfilial son's words, Li Shimin immediately broke down.

You'd still feel wronged even if I married you all? You have no shame at all! How could a man like me, who cares so much about his reputation, have given birth to such a shameless bastard like you?
