Why she was chosen as the crown princess

On the other hand, in the large mansion of the city lord, a woman was pacing back and forth. She was looking at the setting sun with a worried look on her face and turned to look at her husbands, "What are we supposed to do now? How can you all not pay attention to what your daughters were doing!?" 

Ruan Xingmian was really worried. Everyone thought that the reason she was delaying the matter of offering the special techniques to the empress was because she was waiting for the right time and offer but the truth was that the second her daughters got wind of the fact that the empress wanted the secret techniques of their family, they actually fought over it and tore the book into three halves before running away with each half that they took.
