Chapter 407: Flat Sand and Falling Geese
Because Ling Shaofeng put forward the request to let all the noble girls and sons participate in the preliminary competition for the sake of fairness and justice, and received the full support of all the girls and boys who participated in the preliminary competition, and King Xu and Ye Shizi took the lead in agreeing, therefore, there is no doubt that there is a result.

The emperor agreed to Ling Shaofeng's proposal, and allowed the children of these ministers of the court, plus the prince and princess, a total of about fifty or sixty people to participate in the preliminary round immediately, and strive to complete the preliminary round before noon, so that the semi-finals and finals in the afternoon can be held normally.
is still in accordance with the rules of the competition just now, a group of ten girls, a group of ten teenagers, respectively, draw the repertoire to play, and then win or lose a song, and if you can play the song completely, you will be considered to have passed.
The children of this minister's family are indeed a little more powerful than ordinary people's families, and their family conditions are superior, and most of the families have hired masters or luthiers to train them, and some of the teenagers have even entered the highest institutions to study, so there are not a few people who are quite good at the piano.
After the first round of competition, very few people are not strong in mind or not good at the piano, and in the men's and women's groups, they all played the music completely nine times out of ten, and passed the preliminary round.
The young ladies and sons who had not passed the preliminary round left the venue angrily, and did not forget to stare at Ling Shaofeng who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game.
The next round of the competition was also nine times out of ten, and only a very small number of daughters and sons failed to pass, which made the eyes of the young ladies and sons of ordinary people and merchants' families shine with such a light.
In the last preliminary round, the women's group consisted of Ling Shaofeng and Ye Lin, the eldest lady of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, the second miss Ye Bi, the eldest miss Ouyang Xiruo of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the second miss Shu Lanyue of the Taiwei Mansion, the eldest miss Han Weier and the third miss Han Xiaomin of the Xinyang Bofu, Fan Jinyu, the Miss of the Zhongwu General's Mansion, Fang Qingqing, the eldest lady of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and Jiang Zhiling, the eldest lady of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Officials, a total of ten people are counted as a group.
The women in this group are all noble daughters of the important ministers' families, except for Han Weier, the eldest lady of Xinyang Bofu, who is a concubine, and the others are all concubines, and they are all eldest daughters, with noble status.
Among them, except for Fan Jinyu from the Zhongwu General's Mansion and Fang Qingqing, Jing Zhaoyin's young lady, all seven young ladies gave Ling Shaofeng a challenge letter.
As the young lady of the Zhenguo General's Mansion who held the military power of Dongzhao, Ye Bi walked in front of Ling Shaofeng arrogantly, "Mrs. Ling looks good, I don't know if I will have such a good mood after a while!" ”
The General's Mansion has always been infinitely beautiful, when has she ever been so embarrassed, even if she Ye Bi doesn't like King Chen, she can't allow Ling Shaofeng to snatch the position of Princess Nachen, and she must win today's battle for the sake of profit.
Ye Lin, the eldest lady who walked in front of Ye Bi, looked steady and dignified, with gentle eyebrows and fortitude, turned her head and gently glanced at the fierce Ye Bi, "Second sister must not be rude!" The little sister is reckless, forgive me! ”
The corners of Ling Shaofeng's mouth hooked slightly, and he elegantly stroked the pale green water sleeves, his cold eyes were quiet and clear, and he greeted Ye Lin, who was light and graceful, ignoring her inquiring gaze, "Miss Ye is polite, this concubine has always been broad-minded, and she won't take it to heart!" ”
"You ......" Ye Bi heard this sarcastic words, how could she hold back her anger, raised her hand and pointed at Ling Shaofeng and wanted to make a move, but Ye Lin grabbed her and pulled Ye Bi's hand down in an instant.
"Haven't Princess Chen heard that taking oneself without asking is no different from a robber!"
How could Ye Lin not hear that the meaning of Ling Shaofeng's words was that her two sisters were narrow-minded and challenged her for the so-called drunken joke-like verbal marriage contract.
But the truth is that the verbal marriage contract does exist, if it weren't for the eldest brother who entered the palace to ask the emperor to administer justice, suddenly changed his mind and changed the marriage contract to a drunken joke in the name of his grandfather's drunkenness, how could she Ling Shaofeng have the opportunity to become the palace of King Chen.
At this time, several of the young ladies had already walked to the venue of the competition, and each chose a place to sit down, and the eunuchs put the piano they liked on the wooden table in front of them.
The emperor and the empress and others on the stage in the distance also saw the scene of the confrontation between the two young ladies of the Zhenguo General's Mansion and Ling Shaofeng, and even the eyes of those prime ministers and captains flashed with meaning.
The official presiding over the game saw that all the sons of the men's group on the other side had already sat down, while King Xu and Ye Xuan were sitting firmly on the wooden bench, and they didn't mean to come forward to help at all.
"This ......"
The presiding official looked up at the top of the platform, and saw that the emperor didn't speak, so he could only wait anxiously, thinking that the emperor was really tolerant of Princess Chen.
When Ling Shaofeng heard the word 'this', he swept to the embarrassed presiding officials, swept over the people who were whispering around him, and finally fixed his eyes on Ye Lin and Ye Bi who were blocking her.
"Concubine Ben agrees with what the eldest lady said, and taking it without asking is no different from a robber. If Concubine Ben is not mistaken, that day in the Chenwang Mansion, when the concubine met the two for the first time, hundreds of subordinates and guards in the Chenwang Mansion can prove that the concubine has clearly asked, I don't know if the eldest lady and the second lady remember. ”
Speaking of this, Ling Shaofeng no longer paid attention to the two of them, spared Ye Lin and Ye Bi, who were dressed in gorgeous clothes and their faces had changed abruptly, walked towards one of the empty wooden tables, and casually pointed to one of the three guqins resting on the side, and then sat straight to the empty position in the middle.
Ye Lin, who looked stiff, listened to the light footsteps behind her, but the memories in her ears were like thunder.
"It's okay! I just suddenly want to take the liberty of asking the young ladies of the ministers' families if anyone is willing to enter the palace of Chen as a concubine and help King Chen handle all the affairs of the palace! ”
"Since you look down on King Chen so much, why don't you give me the position of Princess Chen?"
Ye Lin kept replaying these two sentences in her mind, and Ye Bi, who was extremely arrogant just now, looked very ugly, and recalled in her mind that when they were invited to the Chen Palace, Ling Shaofeng did ask their opinions in front of the guards of the Manwang Mansion, but at that time they both denied the marriage contract.
As soon as the sharp-eyed little eunuch looked at the veiled and powerful Princess Chen, he immediately ran over and carried the guzheng to the palace of King Chen.
Shizi Ye Xuan saw that his sister was faced, and thousands of people were looking at them curiously, and immediately said, "Eldest sister, second sister, you are not seated yet, the game is about to start!" ”
Ye Lin and Ye Bi came back to their senses, pressed the surging in their hearts, raised their feet into the arena of the competition, glanced at the remaining two pianos, pointed at one indifferently, and walked to Ling Shaofeng's side and sat down.
The official presiding over the competition saw that Princess Chen had already entered the table, and the others were already in place, so the little eunuch walked to King Xu's side with a bamboo tube and asked King Xu to draw the repertoire of the competition.
As for the side of the girls' group, the most noble Princess Chen, Ling Shaofeng, drew lots.
Ling Shaofeng casually took out a piece of Di and gave it to the little eunuch waiting beside him, and casually glanced at the track written in ancient Chinese on it.
"Does Princess Chen know this song?" (To be continued.) )
