Princess Yueyao said angrily: "Xiao Xiaoyu, don't spit on others!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. People can tell at a glance that my three arrows have obviously been processed. They are top-heavy and it is not easy to throw them in."
Princess Yueyao felt humiliated by being exposed in public like this, and immediately wanted to rush over and beat Xiao Xixi.
Although Xiao Xixi has no martial arts skills, it is not difficult to avoid the attack of a little girl.
I secretly thought that this princess was too brainless. If she hadn't been born a princess, she would have been fooled by others.
"alright."
A gentle female voice came, and Princess Yueyao stopped moving.
Everyone looked over and saluted: "Your Majesty."
The visitor is Concubine Xiao.
Seeing Concubine Xiao, Xiao Xixi raised her chin towards Princess Yueyao.
Her backer is here!
"Xiao Yu, don't be rude."
Xiao Xixi immediately shrank obediently next to Concubine Xiao.
"Yue Yao, the queen is looking for you."
Princess Yueyao reluctantly followed Concubine Xiao away.
Xiao Xixi was happy in her heart. Although Concubine Xiao reprimanded her on the surface, she was the cousin of the original owner after all.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the pot throwing competition.]
Xiao Xixi waited for two seconds and found that there was nothing more to come. She couldn't help but ask: "Is there no reward?"
[What was posted just now is not a task, so there is no reward for success. 】
"I suspect you are trying to trick me. Why are you talking about it if it's not a mission? Then I'll just turn a blind eye to your reminders from now on."
The system seemed to be worried about Xiao Xixi's failure and quickly explained.
[The small system has just added a bonus to the host, and the rewards have been deducted for the time being.]
Xiao Xixi couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, "You are the only one who is unreasonable, so I'm going to lie down."
Anyway, Princess Yueyao is not the one taking the lead, so no one else dares to provoke her.
Even Lu Jiaojiao, who was still arrogant just now, no longer has anyone to support her, and her words are no longer so sharp.
"Miss Xiao Er, are you going to take part in the calligraphy and painting competition?"
Xiao Xixi's eyes fell on Lu Jiaojiao, who had an ordinary appearance and short stature. She wished that her face was full of calculations and she looked even more fierce than the original owner.
Of course she couldn't say that the original owner looked bad, after all, he looked exactly the same as before she wore the book.
"I won't participate." Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Xiao Xiaorou, who wanted to express her thoughts on her face. Xiao Xixi said, "Xiaorou, go ahead and give it a try."
Xiao Xiaorou, who was silent, suddenly raised her head, looked at Xiao Xixi in surprise, and nodded slightly.
The calligraphy and painting competition, as the name suggests, is a competition between calligraphy and painting.
Xiao Xiaorou has been working hard in this area for many years. In other words, she gave up martial arts since she was a child and chose a different path from her sisters at home.
Xiao Xixi was watching from the side.
As expected, Xiao Xiaorou wrote beautiful hairpin-flowered regular script, and her flower-and-bird paintings were also very good.
The ladies nodded in praise, and Xiao Xiaorou had all the joy on her face.
However, this joy did not last long.
As soon as Fu Qingjiao's calligraphy and painting came out, everyone was amazed.
"I didn't expect that Miss Fu is not only great at playing piano and chess, but also at calligraphy and painting!"
"That was because there had been no such opportunity before, and Miss Fu had no chance to show it off."
Fu Qingjiao had a faint smile on her face. To her, she was the perfect candidate for Princess Yan. She didn't understand why she had to hold such a palace banquet to select a concubine for him even though she was already engaged to him.
Fu Qingjiao's mother died young, and the Fu family had no matron. There was no one to help inquire, and she could not ask the eldest princess in person.
So in today's competition, she wanted to make herself stand out in every aspect. In the archery and pot throwing competitions just now, she showed herself.
The ladies were chirping when the voice of the chambermaid came.
"The Emperor has arrived——"
The ladies hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Get even," Emperor Honghui laughed loudly, "but the competition is over?"
The grandma in charge quickly replied: "Yes."
Emperor Honghui's eyes swept across the ladies, and when he landed on Fu Qingjiao, his heart skipped a beat.
When the stewardess saw Emperor Honghui looking at Fu Qingjiao, she thought he was interested in her paintings and calligraphy, so she said, "Miss Fu's paintings and calligraphy are truly exquisite. Your Majesty, would you like to take a closer look?"
Only then did Emperor Honghui realize that he was looking at Fu Qingjiao out of proportion, so he followed the steward's wishes and looked at the paintings on the table.
"Bring it here and have a look."
The stewardess picked up the calligraphy and painting with both hands and respectfully handed it to the waiter.
The chamberlain held it up to Emperor Honghui to watch.
Emperor Honghui said he was looking at a painting, but he was reminiscing about this startling glimpse.
Unexpectedly, the young lady from Fu Shoufu's family would be so beautiful now.
No wonder she can be called the most beautiful woman in Beijing.
Emperor Honghui's mind moved slightly.
He said: "Reward!"
Fu Qingjiao did not see the deep meaning in Emperor Honghui's eyes, and just thanked him happily.
Emperor Honghui looked at her with a smile and said to the palace servants: "Let's have a banquet."
During the dinner, Emperor Honghui's eyes frequently rested on Fu Qingjiao.
The queen didn't say much, but she noticed it.
After the banquet was over and the ladies left the palace, Emperor Honghui discussed with the queen the choice of concubine.
Princess Yongzhao was originally going to attend the banquet, but she had to deal with some matters and was unable to attend.
So now the decision-making power fell into the hands of Emperor Honghui.
The queen tried to suggest: "The eldest princess has already made an engagement between Prince Yan and Miss Fu. How about choosing Miss Fu as Princess Yan?"
Thinking of that startling glance, Emperor Honghui's heart moved slightly, and he also remembered that Leng Moran had said that he would break off the engagement with Miss Fu...
"Mo'er told me that his marriage to Miss Fu is irrelevant and he plans to break off the engagement."
The queen asked: "Who does your Majesty think is suitable?"
"Miss Xiao Er cured Mo'er's eyes, and she has a deep love for Mo'er, so why not let her do it."
The queen nodded: "What about King Wei?"
Speaking of this younger brother, Emperor Honghui sighed: "He has been naughty since he was a child, so he has to choose someone tougher. I think Miss Lu San is good."
…
The ladies who were leaving the palace did not know yet about Emperor Honghui's decision.
Sisters Xiao Xixi and Xiao Xiaorou walked towards the outside of the palace.
Xiao Xiaorou's mind has been spinning rapidly.
The palace banquet has passed, King Yan did not dare to think about it, but King Wei——
During the dinner, King Wei kept looking at her, maybe she could give it a try.
But how does she get close to King Wei?
Without her second sister, she would never have the chance to attend such a banquet in the future.
Can't wait any longer.
"Second sister——"
Xiao Xixi saw Xiao Xiaorou stop and asked, "What's wrong?"
"My earring seems to have fallen in the imperial garden."
Xiao Xixi instantly understood that she was trying to cause trouble.
She doesn't intend to stop him, as long as he doesn't harm her, the rest is up to him.
But she was still polite: "Shall I go back with you to look for it?"
There was a flash of panic in Xiao Xiaorou's eyes: "No, second sister, please go back first. I don't know how long it will take to find her."
Xiao Xixi glanced at her and nodded: "Then I will arrange for a carriage to wait for you at the gate of the palace."
Seeing Xiao Xixi turn around and leave, Xiao Xiaorou breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, all the ladies were walking out, but she was the only one walking back quickly in the opposite direction.
She walked faster and faster, faster and faster.
She wants to find King Wei. This is her only chance. If she misses this time, she doesn't know how long she will have to wait.
As if God was blessing her, Xiao Xiaorou didn't go long before she saw King Wei.
The Wei Dynasty glanced behind her and saw Xiao Xixi missing, so he asked, "Where are you going, Miss Xiao San?"
Xiao Xiaorou bit her delicate lips, her heart was beating wildly, and she mustered up the courage to say, "I have something to say to the prince."
The King of Wei has been wandering around the Fireworks and Willow Lane all year round and has seen countless women. Looking at Xiao Xiaorou's appearance, he knew that she wanted to recommend herself to the pillow mat.
And his principle is, don't take it for free if it comes to your door.
