There were also rules for selecting people.

After all, if the two sides were to choose a few peerless experts, they would be able to pass through the mountain without much difficulty. Thus, there was no point in competing with each other.

Thus, out of the five, Mo Weinong and Princess Bai Lan could each choose a person who would be of help to them. As long as this person was a girl, regardless of their age or appearance, they could choose even an extreme expert.

As for the other three, they would draw lots and decide.

The name list was prepared by the Emperor Xuanwu, and Princess Bai Lan seemed to have brought Da Meng along to bully Mo Weinong, and she had even actively proposed that all of the names of the people on the list be women using Great Xuan Country.

Which was to say, aside from one of her own people that she could choose, the others who she could cooperate with were all women from the Great Xuan Country.

Since that was the case, no one said anything.

"Although it's just drawing lots, it's not difficult for us to do something about it." The Emperor Xuanwu said.

"…" Mo Weinong looked at him. Senior Brother, you, a stately Emperor of the Great Xuan Country, actually said that you wanted to cheat in front of us? Do you think everyone is blind? How could he slap a princess so easily?

Moreover, Mo Weinong didn't think that she would do well to smoke three princesses. As a Royal Female Envoy, would the princess listen to her?

Mo Weinong laughed dryly, "Your majesty, there's no need. It doesn't matter who it is. Furthermore, regardless of whether she is dead or alive, it isn't too good for her to take the risk. " The concubines would not agree.

Emperor Xuanwu probably knew of her concerns, so he couldn't really force the issue. He could only ask with a frown, "Then there is still one more person you can choose. Do you have any candidates in mind?"

"Yes, there is."

"Who?"

"A cook in my house."

Emperor Xuanwu, "..." He felt like he was hallucinating.

Prince Yan, "..." It felt like there was a generation gap between the two of them.

"You're not joking?" Emperor Xuanwu asked.

Mo Weinong said very seriously, "No, the food made by the kitchen lady tastes very good. If you want to stay deep in the mountains for three days and three nights, and if you want to be self-sufficient, you have to eat better."

Emperor Xuanwu choked, as flames continued to rise.

Just as he was about to be unable to endure it any longer and reject her idea, Mo Weinong still said something that he cared the most about, "Furthermore, she knows martial arts and her skills are not bad."

Although Qin Niangzi's left hand was not that useful, she had been living in the Female Envoy Palace recently, cooking and cooking with the help of a servant girl. Xiao Dong also had people to take care of her, so she could play around by herself.

Since there were still Shen Qian and others in the residence, when they had free time, they would spar with each other. Tang Ziji would also show her the wound on her left hand, which was now much better. Gradually, his martial arts had recovered to the maximum of sixty to seventy percent of his original strength. His right hand's use of the blade had become even more practiced and powerful than before.

Most importantly, Qin Niangzi had a tacit understanding with her, and would not doubt her words.

Sure enough, Emperor Xuanwu was choked down by her last sentence, and he curled his lips but did not speak anymore.

"Forget it. Since you've already made up your mind, I won't speak any further. It's fine if you know what you're thinking. Just speak your mind when the time comes."

"Thank you, your majesty."

Mo Weinong and Prince Yan once again exited the imperial study. It was already late in the night, and the time until dinner was less than two hours.

The two of them headed straight for the Sifang Hall. Prince Yan sat inside the carriage with his eyes closed, as if he was resting.

Mo Weinong thought that Yun Che would have a lot of questions to ask, but she didn't expect him to not mention a single one.

On the contrary, she was somewhat curious, "You don't have anything to ask me?"

"Why is the tiger suddenly so anxious? Throw the person off his back? "

"…" She really asked whenever she wanted to. Mo Weinong pursed her lips, thought for a while and said, "That's right, I did something."

"Who is your cook?"

"Madam Qin Yi."

Prince Yan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her in surprise, "Madam Qin Yi?"

"Yes."

Prince Yan leaned back in his seat and became silent. After a long time, he sighed and said, "I originally wanted to find a good person to help you, but now there's no need."

At the very least, he would be able to relax a bit.

However …

"Are you really confident that you can walk out of the deep mountains? This time is different from the Female Envoy's selection. Once we enter the deep mountains, there won't even be a person who will scream for help. " Furthermore, he had secretly arranged for people to appear in the Female Envoy selection in time if any candidate appeared in danger.

This time, it was truly a matter of life and death.

Mo Weinong knew she was worried, hence her expression became heavy as well. Facing his line of sight, she nodded seriously, "Mn."

It seemed to be because this topic was too heavy that Mo Weinong's expression once again became lazy, "Speaking of which, when Princess Bai Lan saw you today, she seemed to have a face full of regret. There will be a day when your appearance becomes unattractive? "

"All the men in the Great Lie Royal Family are handsome." In other words, Princess Bai Lan was already immune to beauties.

Mo Weinong thought of Luo Shuangcheng and Luo Wenyuan. Although she felt that they were a little inferior to the Prince Yan, they did indeed look extremely elegant and handsome.

Adding on the rumors that the Prince Yan was not going to live past twenty-five years, this made Princess Bai Lan cower in fear. On the contrary, she was more concerned about Mo Weinong, this woman who threatened her looks.

"Not mentioning Princess Bai Lan, General Qin's reaction today is really strange." The Prince Yan seemed to be deep in thought, "You two know each other?"

"I don't know him." Mo Weinong shook her head, "This is the first time I've seen his life story, and it's something that I read about in books."

The two of them chatted for a while longer. The carriage had already reached the Sifang Hall and stopped talking, so the conversation could only stop here.

Luo Wenyuan, Princess Bai Lan and the others had already rested for a while, and were much more energetic now. Seeing the two of them come over, they even enthusiastically invited them to tea.

Princess Bai Lan stared at Mo Weinong for a moment, trying to see if she had any traces of attacking Da Meng from her face.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything.

The group quickly left for the palace. There were many guests at the banquet, and most of them were at least fourth-rank officials. There were also quite a few women.

The female servants were usually entertained by the empress at the harem. Other than Princess Bai Lan, there were also a few sons and daughters of officials and an envoy.

Mo Weinong let Princess Le Chen and Mo Qianzhu bring these people to the harem first, while she brought Princess Bai Lan to the front hall to pay respects to the Emperor Xuanwu first.

It was just that the Emperor Xuanwu had not arrived yet, so the hall was bustling with noise and excitement.

When Princess Bai Lan entered, everyone stopped moving.

However, in the next moment, he heard Princess Bai Lan's clear and happy voice, "Uncle Prince Ji."
