Everyone in the audience was stunned for a moment, even the emperor was puzzled, and he actually wanted to answer these boudoir women, is it too ...... Although there were doubts in their hearts, since the emperor had said so, what could they oppose?

Leng Zixi smiled: "I don't know what the emperor wants to test us?" ”

Baili Muyuan looked at her and said: "If the Huaishui rainstorm bursts the embankment, and the displaced people are lost and their homes are destroyed, what should be done?" ”

As soon as Baili Muyuan's words came out, everyone in the audience was stunned, and even Queen Yuan on the stage had a shocked expression.

As soon as this question came out, Leng Zixi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, where is this question that ordinary ladies can answer, it has already involved the level of national policy, she remembered what Baili Muyuan said to her before, I was afraid that this question was coming at her, so she didn't want to be the first bird.

So Leng Zixi scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is a national matter, we are just women raised in the boudoir, where can we have any good ideas." ”

Baili Muyuan sighed and said, "This question is indeed a bit difficult for you, I just want to know your opinion. ”

He is a little selfish in his heart, this question is actually what he wants to know, all along, the Central Plains due to floods, often lead to the Huaishui burst the embankment, as soon as the excerpt comes up, he asked the ministers to think of a good Huaishui embankment to control the water. Who knew that one by one was like a shrunken turtle in front of these major things, which made him angry. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to ask the clever but deeply hidden woman in front of me. First, I want to test her real talent; Second, if you really answer, then Bin kills two birds with one stone, even if you can't answer, it doesn't hurt.

In his opinion, Leng Zixi's marriage to that ice boy can be regarded as finding a good family, but it is a short reason.

If Leng Zixi can make a name for himself in this matter, then it will be justified.

Leng Ziyan knew that she and Leng Ziqi couldn't answer such a question at all, but Leng Ziyan could ask others for advice. Leng Ziyan's eyes were deep, and she felt that this was an excellent opportunity, so she immediately said: "This matter is more important than sudden, please let the emperor let us think about it." ”

Baili Muyuan nodded lightly and said, "Okay, then after today's banquet, you go back and think about it, and write to me in three days." Then, Baili Muyuan changed his words and continued, "Then the next round of questions will be handed over to the queen." ”

When Empress Yuan heard this, she nodded, "The concubines obey the holy order." Then she turned around, and her majestic appearance immediately appeared, she thought about it sideways, as if she had thought of a good way, and immediately said to Baili Muyuan: "Your Majesty, the literary talent is superior, and the quick thinking of the literary mind does not necessarily mean that the talent is outstanding, if according to the usual comparison, I am afraid that it will be unfair!" ”

Baili Muyuan was stunned, and then immediately smiled: "What is the queen's good way, but it's okay." ”

The queen blessed her body, and said loudly: "The meaning of the courtiers is to hand over the drums to Gonggong Li three times, and each person writes his own topic and submits it, and then the emperor and the concubines according to the difficulty, click on the current top three, and the courtiers ask to answer the question, but the selected top three questions, before someone asks to answer, only report the name of the questioner, do not inform the content of the question, and the courtiers ask themselves to challenge the topic. What does the emperor think? ”

This kind of state banquet selection is just an unwritten rule, it is a determination of intention, and there is no rule that it must be the princess first, after all, the appointment of a concubine is a major event, and there are many places to consider.

Leng Zixi sat in the position and drank lightly, thinking that this queen was very scheming, this kind of comparison, even if the answers behind the answerer are not outstanding, as long as the question is good and rated as the top three, it will earn back enough face, which is better than being crushed. She didn't know what she was doing it for?

She looked at the queen sitting on the upper seat, and saw that the other party had a fair face, and there was no abnormality at all, which made it even more difficult for her to see clearly, presumably this queen is also an extraordinary character. She thinks that even if she can't get the first place, the top three will be fine, but Leng Ziyan is too conceited,

It doesn't matter if Leng Ziyan changes, what if the method changes around? Can you change the fact that she is the first in the imperial capital?

It's just that some people don't want to, Leng Ziqi put her hands on her chest respectfully, bowed her head to the emperor and empress above, and said, "Emperor and Empress Qi, Weichen thinks that it is slightly inappropriate to test the literature again in the third question." ”

Prime Minister Liu Jiancheng stepped forward and bowed.

"Oh? What's wrong? It was Empress Yuan who spoke, I thought that the topic she said would be adopted by the emperor, but I didn't expect that the prime minister would intervene in the middle to refute her proposal, she wanted to see what reason Prime Minister Liu Jiancheng could say.

Prime Minister Liu Cheng continued to threaten without humility or arrogance, "Emperor and Empress, Weichen believes that the first question is already a poetry question, which is a test of the literary talents of the daughters of the ministers, and the second question is a national event, which is a strategy for the Huaishui embankment to control the water, and the intelligence of the courtiers and daughters. And if you want to look at morality, it is none other than singing, dancing, piano and chess. Dancing the piano and chess can cultivate self-cultivation and cultivate sentiment. Therefore, Weichen believes that the third scene should be compared to a talent show. ”

"What Liu Aiqing said is reasonable," After listening to Prime Minister Liu Cheng's narration, Baili Muyuan praised it again and again, and then turned his head and asked Empress Yuan, "What does the queen think?" ”

"Prime Minister Liu's proposal is really good, but everything is up to the emperor to decide." Empress Yuan played the role of a perfect original match from beginning to end, without any opinions, no matter what Baili Muyuan said, she would not refute it, she smiled and smiled, and there was nowhere to find fault.

"Okay, okay, then follow what Prime Minister Liu Cheng said, but this is the order of the competition......" Baili Muyuan finally made up his mind, but this was a little difficult for Leng Zixi, who had never wanted to perform in front of everyone, because she didn't like it, but there was no way, she had to accept it, didn't she?

"Your Majesty, then let's write the names of the ladies who entered the preliminaries just now in a slip of paper and draw lots to decide, okay?"

"Okay, just as the queen said."

Leng Zixi's belly**: Everyone who entered the preliminaries is beautiful, then she is in a catastrophe.

As soon as Leng Zixi thought of it, he heard Liu Chengxiang read: "Leng Ziyan to Leng Zixi!" ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone began to whisper unstoppably, two sisters, a talented girl in the capital, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting; And the other one used to be stupid, even if it is good now, but no matter how powerful it is, how can it be compared with the goddess in their minds, isn't this result obvious?
