RISE OF THE DRAGON-TANG DYNASTY NOVEL-SHINGS PERPECTIVE

SELECTION DAY

It was selection day at the palace. All the households are in a stir. I can hear my mom yelling for me. Seeing it is my bride and concubines, I am picking today or to say she is picking. As I get dressed, I think the black and purple robes will do today not to royal, but royal enough. It's going to be fun. At least my friend will be there for the moral support. He is the head of my guard, but still one of my trusted friends. He wouldn't steer me wrong.

I get I am the crown prince and I need to act. Sometimes I dislike the idea of this. I just want one wife and no consorts, but that can't be in the royal family, I guess. All these thoughts going through my head,

As I head to my mother's courtyard, I see all the women there lined up like sheep to the slaughter. I get so board seeing my mother's courtyard of white and red trim everywhere. The trees are in the middle. Sometimes I end up running into them because they are dead in the middle of the courtyard.

"Shuming, any good contenders for me?" I laughed.

"Your Highness, stop with the jokes. If your mom heard you, she would beat me." he said.

The drama begins after this day is over. I said, trying to joke around.

"I am so glad they can't see me. But I can see them." I said

Noticing Shuming was staring at a young woman around my age. I am eighteen years old. She is pretty, with long black hair a wonderful slender figure. I am six feet tall, so she is just the right height for me. She looks like she will hit my chest just right. Just looking at her is getting me excited.

She is so gorgeous. I really want this one to be in my harem.

Find out who I want her to be. I said

"your highness. I know who that is. She is a friend of mine. I am worried about her. She looks a little scared." He said

Find out which selection she is in. Please calm her down. Being anxious

"I will go see; I also want to make sure she is ok." He said.

As he was leaving, I thought about how I really like her. I have never been excited about where my dragon wants to play. I have never been this turned on by a stranger.

"Shing, it is time you need to take your seat." My mom the empress yelled.

"Are you ok?" my father the emperor asked as he looked me up and down

"hello grandson, are you ready for all this?" my grandmother the dowager asked

"I am good. I will be fine." I told them all.

As I took my seat, it was the first round. This is so boring. I'm not interested in them. No one is catching my eye. They want my father instead of me, anyway. Suddenly I see Shuming in the corner of my eye. I waved him over to me.

"she wants to be your consort for sure." He said

"Really, that is great. What is her name" I said.

"her name is Li, Na. She is a good person, but she has been sheltered. He informed me.

Some rows of girls are good looking, some are not. Oh, wait, I know this one girl coming up. She is a royal bitch to say so needy and all about herself. I know she is all about wanting in my father's harem. I looked over at my mom. She doesn't look so happy about this one. If I remember, her name is Chen, Fen.

Her dad is a general or something, not too sure, but her aura is all snobbish. If her hair is black and she has an alright build to her body, nothing too special that sticks out to me. Maybe because of her attitude. I can see my mom and grandmother are not too happy with her.
