At this moment, there were forty-five girls in their youth who were outstanding and talented, anxiously waiting for the results of the second game.

As the saying goes, as long as there are women, there will inevitably be 'wars', not to mention that there are dozens of women sitting or standing in this huge side hall, so it is really strange to have a little verbal dispute.

Fortunately, they also know how to pay attention to the occasion, even if there are some quarrels, they will keep their voices relatively low, and try their best to control their slightly anxious emotions, so the scene will not get out of control.

Wen Xueying and Wen Ziling sisters didn't listen to Mrs. Wen's words, and resolutely chose what they thought was the right path, completely ignoring Father Wen's hard work for them.

These two women were born in the Xiangfu, even if they have the name of the Xiangfu concubine on their heads, but because they met a good housewife like Mrs. Wen who does not criticize them, they are based on all the food and clothing they have since their mother's womb, and even etiquette and upbringing, etc., without exception, they are not made according to the specifications of the concubines.

Fortunately, they are not only born with a good face, but even their brains are very good, plus although they are ambitious and vanity, they are very ruthless to themselves, and they are willing to work hard and hard.

Otherwise, their sisters would not have the qualifications to go to various banquets on behalf of the Prime Minister's Mansion to participate in various banquets before Concubine Mi crossed over, and they would not be able to earn such a good reputation for themselves.

Since beating Concubine Mi became 'good' in their eyes, and they ended up losing miserably in confrontations again and again, the two of them completely recognized their identities and didn't dare to be big in front of Concubine Mi anymore.

Especially after Mrs. Wen, who could support them and make the decisions, was sent away, and even the mother who took them was sent away, they were originally ready to shrink their heads and count the time in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they found that they had made up too much of their own brains, not only Concubine Mi was too lazy to take care of them, but even the other people in the Prime Minister's Mansion did not have any intention of embarrassing them.

Of course, there is only one prerequisite for them to enjoy the previous treatment, that is, to be obedient, otherwise what the government can give them can naturally take back and not give it to them.

The luck of the first game to draw lots for their sisters was good, and the women who were drawn to the same group with them had a fairly wide vision, and they didn't throw their faces because there were people in the group who they didn't like to have preconceptions, and after deciding what to perform, they actively rehearsed again, found out the shortcomings and then practiced.

Sure enough, the three groups that were directly eliminated from the game were the three groups that had the most quarrel and the most discordant performance when they were preparing in the side hall before.

With the cruel reality of the almost bloody lesson in front of them, after the second draw grouping, there was no need for anyone to stand up and mention something, they all knew in their hearts that instead of having time to quarrel and quarrel, it was better to seize the time to practice one more time, after all, they were in the same group and had the same goal, that is, to win.

If their group can't win, it will undoubtedly give other groups a chance to win, and it will not be difficult to make a choice.

Compared to the chaos of the first team game, the performance of the girls in the team game in the second game is simply blinding, and they have all paid for it in order to qualify for the finals.

Time always flies in the process of waiting, but before the announcement of which group of promotions is made in the main hall, not only can they not break in, but even their personal maid movements are restricted.

After the fifteen winners of the final game were selected by everyone in the hall, Gonggong Zhang wished that he had three heads and six arms, and there were too many things to prepare, and he felt that his head was not enough.

Fortunately, Concubine Mi saw that he was really flustered, so she gave him an idea, and Gonggong Zhang, who had always been active, suddenly opened his mouth, thanked Concubine Mi and thanked him, and then retreated to work outside the main hall.

However, this time his speed was obviously several times faster, saving a lot of time to come out, and Emperor Xuan was very satisfied with this.

In this way, everything in the main hall was arranged, and Gonggong Zhang squeezed out a little time to arrange for two little eunuchs to go to the side hall to pass the word, and ordered with a calm face and very straightforwardly: "You also heard what you said in the hall just now, don't go around any circle when you go to the side hall for a while, just explain the rules of the evaluation of the finals to the ladies inside, and let the group of fifteen young ladies who are the first to go on the stage prepare, and go to the stage in the hall after receiving the sign." ”

"It's Father-in-law Zhang, and the minions can save it. ”

"If the ladies in the side hall are noisy, don't contradict them, just let them go to the palace and say to the emperor if they are not satisfied, if they really don't want to participate in the promotion competition, let them just say abstain. ”

"It's Grandpa Zhang. ”

"Hurry up and go!"

When the two little eunuchs went to the inner side to say the new judging rules, after a short silence, they immediately broke out all kinds of sharp voices, seeing this scene, the two little eunuchs subconsciously trembled, secretly thinking: No matter how beautiful a woman is, it is really too terrifying.

"Please also pay attention to your own demeanor, your own image, do you want to lift the roof like this?" Even if they were afraid in their hearts, they didn't dare to offend these daughters with their humble status, but the errand given to them by Zhang Gong Bus must not be messed up.

"Although singing and dancing are being staged in the hall at the moment, if you make a louder voice, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to hear the voices of your young ladies?"

When these two sentences fell as soon as they came out, the faces of the most noisy ones suddenly stiffened, and then they lost their voices as if they had been choked by the neck, and their faces changed so badly.

"After all, so many people in the entire palace have to vote for the young ladies, and the young ladies still have a great chance of winning, so why make a fuss about losing their demeanor and demeanor to make people laugh in vain. ”

"What's more, the performance of each young lady just now is excellent, the best is perfect, and the selection is also very fair, isn't it that the young ladies have no confidence in themselves and feel that they are inferior to other young ladies?"

As long as the position of the agitation method is pinched, it is very useful for both men and women.

These women, whether they are born or concubines, they were born as daughters of official families, all of them are extremely proud, and they have never lacked self-confidence, how can they admit that they are inferior to others.

"Youlao, two little fathers-in-law, came to pass the word. "Even if the identity of Prince Pang Yan's concubine is a sure thing, as a Pang daughter, she will definitely not be able to sit back and enjoy her success, so she can only participate in the competition and strive for the chance to win the championship.

She had good luck in the first and second games, and the ladies who teamed up with her were also very good, but this gave Pang Yan convenience at the same time, and also gave Pang Yan a strong sense of crisis.

There are so many excellent women, but there are few noble positions, everyone is competing for that position, if she doesn't work hard, she will be pressed down, which will not only lose her face, but also humiliate the Taishi Mansion, and her grandfather will definitely not spare her.

"The two fathers-in-law have worked hard, this is a little bit of my young lady's heart, not much is just a tea money. Zhu'er, the personal maid who got Pang Yan's signal, stepped forward with a decent smile and stuffed a not small purse into each of the two little eunuchs who came over to pass the message, in order to pave the way for the later selection.

The palace is a place that can't be underestimated by anyone, even the little eunuchs who are struggling at the bottom have their own connections with the little palace maids, not to mention that these two little eunuchs are serving by the side of Gonggong Zhang.

If she gives these two little eunuchs a good impression, when she enters the palace to vote later, if she is lucky, maybe there will be more eunuchs and palace maids who voted for her promotion, how could Pang Yan miss this opportunity.

"Slaves, thank you Miss Pang for the reward. ”

"The two fathers-in-law don't have to be polite, we have nothing to prepare, and we can get a sign at any time to enter the palace with the father-in-law to participate in the selection. Pang Yan was originally very good-looking, although not as gorgeous as Pang Fei, but her temperament was better than Pang Fei, especially when she smiled, she felt unusually kind, which made people involuntarily have some convincing in her.

No one is stupid to be able to stay in the side hall until now, seeing that Pang Yan seized the opportunity, they missed the opportunity, although they were dissatisfied and angry in their hearts, they did not do anything other radical.

As for stuffing purses for the little eunuch like Pang Yan, they didn't do it anymore, and even if they gave it in this case, they couldn't make up for anything, so it was better to keep that little silver to do something else.

"The ladies of the first group are all lined up, and then receive the sign representing your identity, and then walk into the main hall in turn to participate in the selection, and the ladies of the second and third groups are also ready to hurry, and it will be your turn to play soon. ”

After the half-pillar incense, a group of young ladies temporarily led by Pang Yan walked into the main hall in turn with a rather delicate peach wood card, and a gust of incense wind must blow where they passed, which caused many people to take a deep breath.

"Consider the two teas, and then write down the five numbers you selected, and Grandpa Zhang is personally responsible for collecting them, and the speed must be fast. ”

"It's the emperor, and the ministers understand. ”

According to Concubine Mi's meaning, what kind of number plate does it be, just write the name, but she forgot that in ancient times, a woman's name could not be leaked at will, it was just a name, and sometimes it was often related to a woman's reputation.

"Ah Mi, which five have you written?"

Finding that Mo Yan's voice sounded in a low voice in her ears, Concubine Mi glanced up at him opposite, and asked rhetorically in a secret voice: "Which five more did Xiran write?"

"It's for the husband to ask Ah Mi first, and Ah Mi has to tell the husband first. ”

"What do you want to play?"

"I didn't play anything, I just wanted to see how tacit the understanding between my husband and Ah Mi was. ”

Concubine Mi raised her good-looking eyebrows, the speed of writing the number plate in her hand did not decrease at all, and her tone was quite disdainful and said to Mo Yan: "Hmm, Xi Ran is sure that I will not change it again." ”

"Little bad thing, what kind of person are you as your husband. Mo Yan snorted coldly, he was a little angry that Concubine Mi didn't believe him, obviously he was talking in the air, but inexplicably made Concubine Mi have the illusion that Mo Yan was talking close to her ear at the moment, and her white little face couldn't help but be dyed with a touch of red.

"Just say it. ”

After listening to the five number plates read out by Concubine Mi, Mo Yan's slender sword eyebrows first frowned, then loosened, and then said with a hint of unwillingness: "We chose four of the same, but we have different opinions on the last one." ”

"Don't worry, aren't there two groups below, let's continue to compare. ”

"Good. ”

Soon the selection ended, after the first group retired, the fifteen young ladies of the second group stood in the center of the stage in turn, from Emperor Xuan to the courtiers and the ladies in the palace all picked up the pen again and quickly wrote on the paper.

After a while, the selection of the third group was also announced, and the young ladies retreated to the side hall with apprehension to wait for the results, while Gonggong Zhang received the will of Emperor Xuan and commanded a group of people to be responsible for counting the final results.

Except for the five people selected in the first group, Concubine Mi and Mo Yan had a disagreement on the last one, in the second group and the third group, the five number plates they picked out were exactly the same, only the order of ranking was different.

"Your Majesty, the final selection results have been counted, please take a look at the emperor. ”

Emperor Xuan took the booklet handed to him by Gonggong Zhang, opened it and looked at it, and went through the names of these successful ladies in his mind, with a touch of deep thought in his eyes.

"Well, that's good. After reading it, Emperor Xuan closed the booklet, and instructed Gonggong Zhang in a deep voice: "In order to show fairness, Gonggong Zhang will announce the number of votes for each of them." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Father-in-law Qin. ”

"The minions are here. ”

"You go to the side hall to announce the list of fifteen successful promotions, and then prepare a pillar of incense for them, if there is any doubt about the selection results, you will send a copy of the voting results of each of them to the side hall for them to see. ”

"The minion will go to the side hall to announce it. ”

Seeing the figure of Gonggong Qin disappear from sight, Emperor Xuan said in a deep voice to the little eunuch who was serving beside him: "Let Si Le Fang move the prepared piano to the stage and place it properly." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Wait. ”

"Concubine Mi, this is ......"

"Your Majesty, not everyone plays the guqin for a long time, since it is just a competition of piano skills, why not let the little father-in-law make an extra trip, go to the side hall and ask those young ladies what instruments they are good at, and then ask Si Le Fang to bring the prepared instruments to the stage. ”

"Pick their best instrument?"

"Only by picking their best can they distinguish the winner from the loser, otherwise the first person to win the pending will be easier to pass, no matter how you want to win, you have to take some real skills!"

"Do as the county lord says. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will go and pass the word. ”

Soon, in the center of the main hall, there were people from the Si Le Fang who held all kinds of musical instruments, including five guqins, three guzhengs, four pipas, one gonghou, and one each of Changxiao and jade flutes.

Concubine Mi's good-looking brows twisted slightly after seeing these six musical instruments, and the sound of Xiao and the flute will be suppressed as soon as they appear, unless the person who plays the Xiao and the jade flute can always stick to their hearts and not be affected by other sounds at all, otherwise they will definitely be eliminated as soon as they make a sound.

"Since they have all picked the instruments they are good at, why don't the emperor designate a piece for them to play at the same time. ”

"Specify a tune, does Concubine Mi have any good suggestions, I would like to hear from you. ”

"Don't embarrass me, the emperor is not that elegant person, this kind of thing is better decided by the emperor. ”

"You girl, I really can't do anything about you. Emperor Xuan shook his head with a smile, his deep gaze fell on King Han's face, and he said seriously: "King Han, it's up to you to designate a tune." ”

"The phoenix seeks the phoenix. King Han was already stared at by some women in the palace, and his face was very ugly, and when he saw that Emperor Xuan attracted everyone's attention to him, he spit out these three words coldly and indifferently.

Isn't this a disguised wedding banquet, those women who are so strong in your fight for me hate to marry very much, in this case, King Han has reason to believe that playing the phoenix at this time is definitely not him embarrassing them, but it is just fulfilling their original intention.

"Ahem... Well, this piece is good, and it's very appropriate. Emperor Xuan twitched the corners of his mouth, and said a little involuntarily.

Which one is this bastard singing?

How could he have a sense of immediacy that he was about to be calculated by his own son, this is too weird.

"What do you think?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Han has a very good repertoire, very good. "Although everyone who attended this banquet knew what the ultimate purpose of this banquet was, there was no one like King Han who pointed it out so bluntly.

Didn't you see that the prince of Chu Xuan and the prince of Anping and the lord of Lejun didn't poke it so directly, His Royal Highness the King of Han was really embarrassed.

"What does the queen think?"

"Just play this phoenix, the man should get married, the woman should get married, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. "A confrontation made her almost unable to get off the stage, and Empress Dowager Liu was so aggrieved that she wanted to die, and she didn't dare to die lightly.

"Are you all ready?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the courtiers and others are ready. ”

"Let's get started!"

In order not to be disturbed by their opponents, none of the fifteen women on the stage wanted to be squeezed down, and they all wanted to take the leading position.

Pang Yan's dancing is not as good as her sister's, but she plays the piano with one hand and the zither with the other, looking at the aristocratic circle of Xingdu City, except for Concubine Mi's cousin Mu Guogong's eldest daughter Mu Yueyi can compete with her, no one else can hide her edge.

As for Concubine Mi's eldest sister Wen Xueying, who also advanced to the final final, although she has the reputation of dancing and painting, her piano skills are very ordinary, and Wen Ziling, who has extraordinary piano skills, was eliminated in the second selection.

If it was a one-on-one competition of piano skills, Wen Xueying would not have lost so quickly and admit defeat, at least she could still fight, but more than a dozen piano notes were intertwined, and her fingers were on the strings and she didn't know how to move.

Playing one wrong note will be followed by a second note, and then her momentum and piano tone will become weaker and weaker, until she is completely suppressed, and she cannot find the slightest sense of existence.

Thinking that there was still a chance to win two or two PKs in the future, Wen Xueying didn't want to continue to be so embarrassed, so she simply closed her eyes and withdrew her hand, maintaining the posture of sitting on the stool, waiting for the end of this piano competition.

With the first one to give up, there was a second one after a while, and the third, the long Xiao and Miss Chen and Miss Ma who played the jade flute surprised Concubine Mi.

I thought that the two of them would lose the fastest, but I didn't think that they would be able to persevere, but they all withdrew from the front five, and the two of them were defeated and withdrew from the competition one after another.

The remaining eight are the contest between the guqin and the guzheng, and the battle is much more intense, but Pang Yan has been very stable and firmly occupies the first place, as long as she does not make a mistake, then it is a sure thing that she will win first, and the latter will not be able to surpass her.

When the last note fell melodiously, Pang Yan got up generously, and said softly with a smile: "I agreed." ”

"Congratulations to Miss Pang Er for being the first to enter the pending seat, and you can take a seat in the hall to watch the PK duel of the other fourteen young ladies. ”

Pang Yan first smiled and saluted Emperor Xuan, and then bowed to everyone in the hall, and then gracefully retreated to her seat and sat down, her mother Sun patted the back of her hand, and said softly: "Yan'er, you have done a good job, your grandfather is very satisfied." ”

"Smoke won't disappoint grandfather. The hand under the long sleeve was tightly bent into a fist, Pang Yan never thought that she was inferior to Pang Fei, and would never give Pang Fei a chance to press on her head again, so even if she wanted her to sacrifice herself, she would make Pang Taishi feel that she was more valuable than Pang Fei to cultivate and use.

Even if he is a chess piece to be manipulated by others, Pang Yan must be a valuable one, and will never allow himself to become a pathetic and unpromising outcast.

"You've been smart since you were a child, and your mother believes that you'll make the best choice. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Next, tell Gonggong Zhang what you are best at, he will first make a statistic, and then group them according to what you are best at, for the sake of fairness and in order not to let you have regrets, the two PK take the way of dance to dance, chess to chess, and piano to piano. ”

It was rare that Mo Yan was in a good mood to receive Emperor Xuan's words, and the dark magnetic voice was so soft that it seemed to be able to pinch water, but it revealed a sense of alienation that rejected people thousands of miles away, making people dare not approach him lightly.

"So at this time, you have to make the most correct choice, and use your skills as soon as possible, otherwise you won't have a chance to use it again. ”

"Hehe... Well, the first two games are just games, and this one is very interesting to the lord of the county. Concubine Mi rubbed her jaw with a smile, and her mood looked very good.

"Has Gonggong Zhang been divided into a group?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the minions have already been grouped, I don't know if the emperor wants to see it?"

"No, you can announce which two are in a group, and then let them draw lots to decide the order of appearance. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

About half a pillar of incense or so, Ran Runyue, the eldest daughter of Mu Wangfu, and Wu Yunong, the left deputy capital, were the first to appear, and the two sides competed in chess.

Then the second appearance was the competition between Wen Xueying and Geng Liguang, the second daughter of Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, Wen Xueying's reputation for dancing and painting is not fake, her dance and her paintings have been taught by famous teachers since childhood, and they have been diligent and hard to practice over time.

It can be said that for Wen Xueying, no matter which one her opponent picks, it will not cause any burden to her.

"County Lord, this is what you want. "Mama Sakura hasn't been away for a long time, and it's thanks to Concubine Mi that she has a powerful intelligence station, otherwise it will be very difficult for her to see this information in a short time.

"What was that Geng Liguang's reputation in Star Death City in the past?"

"Back to the county lord's words, Lord Geng has two daughters-in-law, the eldest daughter has a very good reputation in the circle, but she has been engaged to a marriage contract since she was a child, and the second daughter has been raised in the deep boudoir very mysteriously, and even the number of times she participated in the palace banquet is pitiful, but the slave maid heard that this Miss Geng's peony flower is painted amazingly. ”

"It's funny that he's a good painter. ”

"This Miss Geng is good at painting, and almost no one in the outside world knows about it, and it is not yet known who has better painting skills between her and Miss Xue Ying this time. ”

"Don't worry, let's take our time. ”

"Yes, Lord Shire. ”

The next five groups, one group compared calligraphy, one group compared poems, one group compared pairs, the remaining two groups of one of the two groups of fighting, the other group added a new difficulty, while dancing while stepping on the rhythm to fill in the words for the poems on the screen.

The last of these seven sets of duels seems to be the most difficult, and if it succeeds, it will definitely attract the attention of the audience, but if it fails, I am afraid that the subsequent competitions will not have to continue.

Playing chess, painting, calligraphy and poetry can all be played at the same time, and pairs and fighting dances are put to the end.

Chess, painting, calligraphy and poetry are all very good at judging the winners and losers, and these competitions ended quite quickly.

"Mama Ying, what's wrong with that Luan Junyu?" Concubine Mi frowned, always feeling that the woman had a sense of déjà vu, and couldn't help but pay more attention to her.

And the person she had a disagreement with Mo Yan was not the one named Luan Junyu.
