Chapter Twenty-Six: Martial Arts Tournaments Recruit Relatives Need to Fight
"When I'm done with what I'm going to do...... Naturally, I'll leave. "Yu Ziying's black bead pupils are pure and calm, which makes people not dig out a trace of suspicion.
"Do you want me to help you?" The young man who got the promise was not too happy in his heart, but on the surface, the corners of his mouth were curled reservedly, revealing a precipitated and soft smile, he stretched out his palm and rubbed the top of her hair, his voice was clear and gentle, full of humanistic care like a bosom brother.
"No, you have things you need to do, so you don't have to go out of your way to accommodate me, I'm not weak, don't you believe me?" Yu Ziying doesn't understand a man's heart, and at this moment, he is childish and serious, but he despises her when he says this.
Seeing her admit the truth, she immediately raised her hands, and after a flattering smile, she said with a tiger's eyes: "It's the fault of the angry brother, the baby sister's strong ability can be called a hero of the country, no, a generation of grandmasters, Wen Neng Anbang, Wu Neng Dingguo, where is weak, even if this small body stomps his feet, there is a tiger's back and bear's waist, who dares to underestimate you, your angry brother must be the first to refuse to forgive him!" β
ββ¦β¦ Small body? Yu Ziying stared at him expressionlessly, her eyes shining.
Nu deliberately showed an innocent and aggrieved expression, and wondered: "Could it be ...... Is it a big body? β
Yu Ziying's forehead snapped and protruded with the word "well".
"Height is not the standard used to evaluate everything......" Yu Ziying explained halfway through the words, but when she saw Nu's slightly surprised expression, she realized that her voice was a few degrees higher than the usual volume, and she stagnated, she calmed down her emotions, and Fang Shen said: "I will grow taller...... I won't always be small! β
Although she didn't "snort", she was indeed arrogant.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man turned around and walked away with heavy steps.
- Don't talk about it, it hurts my self-esteem too much.
Angry looking at the figure of the beautiful woman who fled away in anger, he was dumbfounded, angry?
Where did he understand that the height difference that he had been secretly loving was actually the reverse scale of the small mushroom cool, and now it was okay, and he finally stole an opportunity to meet privately from under the noses of Emperor Jing and others, and now he was messed up by his blindness and cheapness.
"Baby, baby sister, why did you leave...... Wait, cough cough, that angry brother apologized, although I don't know what I did wrong, but I am willing to apologize, I admit all my mistakes, wait......"
Angry stretched out Erkang's hand.
- Let's talk about it again, he is willing to give up his self-esteem and beg for mercy.

I don't know what kind of reference criteria the two adults of the Dao Rite Department and the Household Department used to select the marriage partners for His Majesty Emperor Jing, but it is obvious that the two of them are taking the route of not ordinary pit people.
The envoys of various countries were panicked at the beginning of the trials, especially since they signed the clause of reluctantly cutting meat on the spot, their hearts have been pulling out the cold and cold, they want to interfere and are afraid of muddying the relationship between the two alliances, and if they don't interfere, they can only watch their princess being tossed miserably by the event, and they can't bear to look at it directly.
In other countries, the draft girls fill the harem either by their appearance or by virtue and art, which is really harsh, subtle, and fetishe, at most they are to pick a tall, short, fat, thin, facial features, hair, skin, waist, neck, shoulders, back, teeth...... Or a little bit of power and a door or something, which can be completely accepted.
Well, Chaoyuan Country is not a nationwide draft girl, but directly raises the level that everyone can hardly hope for, and selects the princesses of various countries in the entire Jiuzhou Continent plate.
But I have never heard of this kind of rough selection method of trying out under the sun and crossing the lake to test perseverance, isn't it more noble and cherished? How can he do the opposite, the more noble the more ruined!
- No one can understand Emperor Jing's feelings.
At best, this is called examination, and at worst, it is called rubbing (torturing)! Even the sons and daughters of ordinary families do not have such rules for treating women as men.
The envoys and princesses of various countries are also angry and dissatisfied with this in private, but what can they do? Even if they don't do it for themselves, they must learn that people have to bow their heads under the eaves just for the sake of the people who are waiting for them to return with glory.
In fact, when they chose to marry Chaoyuan Kingdom, they had already imagined all kinds of unbelievable things, after all, Emperor Jing of Chaoyuan Kingdom was one of the seven sins of greed in Jiuzhou.
In recent years, although he temporarily took off his sword and armor and retreated to the second line because he ascended the throne to work for the emperor, the legend about him when he was the Marquis of Tsing Yi has been circulating in the rivers and lakes.
Can you expect to be a daughter-in-law to a perverted, murderous man with some kind of loli puppet quirk?
No matter how attractive his appearance is, no matter how eye-catching his family background is, this can't change his innate nature.
Silently light a piece of wax for the princesses of various countries.
ββ
"Your Majesty is preparing to choose the queen, and you haven't revealed the news yet?"
"No...... It's a bit of a move. β
"I can't wait for this matter to be the master, so let's announce it as soon as possible according to His Majesty's instructions."
"Hey, I know ...... way"
"Also, the rules that we will discuss and formulate together next are best targeted to brush off some arrogant small countries, I am a powerful country, how can I let the emperor marry a princess of a small country as the queen."
"Well, you're in charge......"
"In addition, we must also carefully consider the various targeted conditions put forward by His Majesty, and we must not be wronged by His Majesty."
"Okay, that's it......"
"Yang Shangshu, what's wrong with you? He looked uneasy. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was sitting on the ground frowning, only to find that the Hubu Shangshu had been weak just now.
Tobe Shangshu didn't know where Lu Dao was going, and shook his head with a gloomy face: "It's okay...... Well. β
"Well, what are you sighing for, but what are you embarrassed about?" The Rite Department Shoshu looked at him strangely.
"You say, is there really a ...... in this world" Tobe Shangshu was made restless by Princess Bao Dai's words at the moment, seeing that someone asked, he was about to talk from the bottom of his heart, but when he thought that this matter involved his reputation and family affairs, he felt that his throat seemed to be blocked with something, and it was difficult to speak, so the words came to his mouth and turned a corner: "...... Ahem, do you think there are thirty-four princesses left now, which one best meets the standards of His Majesty? β
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu couldn't see that he was deliberately changing the topic, and the preface didn't match the afterword, for fear that he would encounter something difficult to speak, but since he didn't want to say it, then he naturally couldn't ask any more questions, so he went downhill.
"These thirty-four princesses are of the highest quality in all respects, I have checked privately, basically none of them can meet all the descriptions of His Majesty, and it is still possible to pick out one or two when they are disassembled, but to merge all the conditions into one person, I haven't seen anyone for the time being."
Tobe Shangshu reluctantly lifted his spirits and muttered: "Maybe Your Majesty doesn't really fancy anyone, no matter what, let's try to get closer to the conditions listed by Your Majesty." β
"Well, Your Majesty neither likes the daughter of the irritable, nor the daughter of the hippie smile, nor the daughter who is too tall, nor the daughter who is obsessed with his appearance, then look at the twenty-nine of them are basically in line, and only the princesses of the five countries are too tall to be eliminated, as for the personality problem, I think it needs to be tested to be verified."
"Your Majesty doesn't like to be irritable, doesn't like hippie smiles, likes perseverance and indifference, calm and calm like a mountain, this must be described as a quiet and steady daughter, you can see it in daily life, and I am afraid that it is pretending to cater to it, what question does such a woman take to test?"
"Since His Majesty didn't give instructions this time, I might as well do it according to my own ideas."
"Do you have an idea?"
"Well, even if you have a calm personality, as the mother of a country, you need to have a bit of skill, so it's better to compare ...... Play chess. A chess game is not enough to see wisdom, and playing a string is not enough to see sorrow. β
"Good, very elegant."
"Ahem...... Your Majesty has already promised Princess Yan Wushuang, so it is naturally difficult for us to choose those who are too ......."
"It's too rough."
- It's no wonder that His Majesty Emperor Jing chose to leave it alone, if he asked, it would be a group of wailing everywhere.
ββ¦β¦ But whether it is too much to play chess alone is not innovative, in the first batch of selection of the fittest, they have already tested their four arts. β
"Do you have a better idea?"
"It's better to do this, the remaining thirty-four princesses must have their own strengths, why don't we let them play their best, and show what they are good at, the winner accepts the challenge, and the loser steps down."
"You mean they're going to do it themselves?"
"That's right."
"Okay, that's a great way!"
ββ
When the envoys of all countries were waiting for the results on the shore of Taihu Lake with the lotus fragrance and green greenery, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites had already handed the examination questions and specific matters discussed together to Emperor Jing for approval.
Soon, the thirty-four princesses all changed their clothes again, or dignified and generous, or delicate and lovely, or enchanting, or slender and slender all kinds of styles stood on the water platform in different ways.
Ordinary people often delusionally think that if they can get one of the stunning beauties in this life, they will be able to be unshakeable for a lifetime, but now the thirty-four stunning colors are displayed together, which only makes people dizzy and distracted.
On the high platform, the ceremonial officer took the test scroll handed over and clearly read the rules of the next competition.
The rules are basically a form of competition.
It is similar to the martial arts recruitment, but there are more changes in the content.
The content of the competition generally gives the following references, such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers, tea, of course, you can also choose other skills to participate, but generally speaking, the royal family and nobles, except for the eight skills, there is really no skill to master.
First of all, choose a champion to take the stage, this champion needs to accept the challenge questions proposed by others, if she wins, she will continue to be the champion, or if she loses, she will be eliminated, and the winner will take her place as the champion to meet the next round of challenges.
For example, if a princess of a certain country wants to test her piano skills with the champion, if she wins the champion on the piano path, then she is the champion of the next round, and the loser is eliminated directly.
Therefore, it takes a party that is very confident in itself and skilled in everything to dare to be the first to come to the stage as the champion.
But it has to be said that the first person to be the master can be said to be an adventure, or it can be said to be an opportunity.
The person who dares to be the first to come to the stage, just like the person who dares to eat the first to eat crabs, can always be remembered and impressed.
So even if a timid princess hears this, her heart is ready to move.
Mu Lige in the pavilion Xie was not good when he heard the test piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, hops and tea.
He stared at the "Mu Xiaofeng" with a wooden expression in the midst of all the beauties, he knew that the four "Mu Xiaofeng" about qin, chess, calligraphy and painting had a knack for it, but she didn't know anything about the four items of poetry, wine and tea, and let her go up to be the master, it was completely the same as going up to be abused in turn!
He pinched the celadon cup in his hand to powder, his eyes were shining, but his face always had a gentle and elegant smile.
- A good draft, partial life into a skill competition to recruit relatives, does Chaoyuan really plan to play their brother and sister to death?!
Compared with Mu Lige's sad and dark mood of wanting to take revenge on the society that day, the mood of the envoys of all countries changed from a dark and damp corner to a sunny and warm spring.
They almost cried tears of joy...... TMD's draft, which has been crazy since entering Yanjing, can finally become normal again!
- But they are naΓ―ve!
No matter what they calculate, they can't count it, if Emperor Jing doesn't interfere, this draft competition will not be normal.
How did they know that this so-called normal game of Lu Dao would eventually become unrecognizable because of a person who never played cards according to reason.
