Chapter 130, you can't be low-key
Jin is not the most powerful country in this continent, and the strength of several neighboring countries around it is good, but Jin has an old enemy that is Yan State, and now Yan State is going to have an embassy to Jin State after many years, how can it not shock everyone.
Su Xizhu and these noble ladies are so concerned mainly because they heard that the mission has brought a lot of talented and noble women from the Yan Kingdom on this trip, and they are going to come here to have a "friendly" exchange with the students and nobles of their Jin Kingdom, to put it bluntly, it is a competition.
Jin and Yan are next to each other, the land area of the two countries is not much along, and the military and financial resources are not much different, although there is friction, but because the strength is about the same, the emperor who reigned after several defeats rarely launched large-scale wars.
It's just that no one is convinced of anyone for a long time, and it is easy to be short-tempered and angry, but if you send someone who has been famous for a long time, it is easy to compare the real fire, which is why there is this friendly exchange between young students and noble girls.
After all, winning has face, and losing is just some half-grown children, which is not a shame, but no one wants to lose, so many famous students and nobles have begun to prepare, as the Royal Women's Academy where Shengjing nobles gather, of course, they are the first choice to fight.
"This time I'm fighting on behalf of the Jin Kingdom, don't hide any talent you have." Su Xizhu felt that the eldest princess was connotating her, after all, she didn't sign up for the queen mother's birthday banquet last time but finally performed on stage, the eldest princess would not be grateful to herself for saving the scene, she would only blame herself for keeping a hand.
Su Xizhu knew that she couldn't hide this time, and everyone knew that she was good at calligraphy, so Su Xizhu honestly reported for the calligraphy competition, and she was successfully elected as a representative.
This time, Yan Guo came to compete in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, chess, dance, martial arts and arithmetic, the eldest princess stared at Su Xizhu for a long time and added her name to arithmetic, after all, Su Xizhu is good at arithmetic and is also famous.
"Miss Su San has no opinion? Can you do it? Su Xizhu looked at the eldest princess's smiling face, and her hairs stood on end.
Su Xizhu looked at the people around her and looked at her, the smile on her face was a little stiff, and she could only nod under the gaze of the eldest princess, but Su Xizhu was crying in her heart.
There are nine competitions in total, and she alone wins two, that is, the eldest princess and Zhou Lingxuan do not have this honor, Su Xizhu feels that she is afraid that she is a little too showy, but the eldest princess has already said so, Su Xizhu can only agree.
"Now this list of the palace master is not finalized, if you feel that you are better than the people on the list and can challenge, the masters will be judges, but if anyone does not do their best to let the master see it, then they will be removed from the royal academy.
No matter what you think in your hearts, this time it is on behalf of the country, you must choose the best people, and don't think about any crooked thoughts, if you let this palace know what you have done to be jealous of the chosen person, the words of this palace are here, not only you, but your whole family will be affected. ”
The eldest princess's words made the whole school feel like a cicada, and they also knew what the eldest princess meant, the eldest princess represented the royal family, and they didn't dare to have any crooked thoughts about these little girls, no one dared to challenge the majesty of the royal family, so those who were interested in signing up for the challenge were honestly signing up, and everyone was relying on their strength.
Su Xizhu watched it for a long time and didn't find that anyone challenged her, she was a little embarrassed, it turned out that she was so good
? The classmates are too face-saving.
At this time, other noble girls also discovered that although Su Xizhu is usually inconspicuous, when it comes to real life, Su Xizhu can beat many of them.
Su Xizhu's calligraphy was learned from her father, Su Che is a master of calligraphy and painting, shouldn't they be grateful to Su Xizhu for spreading rumors on the painting, otherwise today it would be Su Xizhu who won the three competitions alone, which makes other noble daughters who have always been talented think?
As for arithmetic, although Su Xizhu is not necessarily the fastest in every class, it is definitely the most accurate, and people who are good at arithmetic have things that they are better at, so for a while, there is really no one who has the ability to challenge Su Xizhu to grab this position with her, so Su Xizhu was sent to the finals speechlessly.
After a series of battles, the list of personnel representing the Jin Kingdom to meet the Yan State Challenge Competition was officially decided, and only Su Xizhu was the only one in the women's Annan Hou Mansion to the finals, and the men's group side, the competition system was different from the women's group, and the test was not so detailed, roughly ten people from each of the civil and military forces, Zhong Lishu and Su Wen were successfully selected, and for a while, the three rooms of the Annan Hou Mansion entered everyone's sight.
Originally, the third room of the Hou Mansion of Annan was so powerful, with a total of one son and one daughter, all of them represented the Jin Kingdom, how could they not know that the children of the third room of the Hou Mansion of Annan were so good?
Old Madam Qi looked at Su Wen and Su Xizhu in disbelief, feeling that she usually neglected the third room too much, and these two children really gave their parents face.
"You have to prepare well, you can't lose the face of our Jin Kingdom and the Hou Mansion of Annan, what do you need to tell your aunt and your mother, the Hou Mansion will fully support you."
Old Mrs. Qi felt very relieved, although her son was not outstanding, but her grandchildren were very good, and even because she was worried about Su Ximei, her heart gradually calmed down.
Emperor Sheng He was stunned when he saw the list handed over by his sister, except for the queen and their nieces, only the name Su Xizhu was more familiar to Emperor Sheng He, I didn't expect that the fat girl would not only make novel food, but also have excellent other talents, but think about it, Su Xizhu's father Su Che is not a master of calligraphy and painting? Su Xizhu has some skills, which should be.
When the envoys of the Yan State arrived, Emperor Sheng He asked Han Zhan to accompany the eldest prince to greet him, and Han Zhan, as the face of the Jin Kingdom, must show his face at this time.
"Welcome the prince of Yan Kingdom from afar." The eldest prince is also the king of Jin, he just got married some time ago, and was officially canonized as the king of Jin, this is the first time he has done an errand as the king of Jin, so even if he tries his best to suppress it, it is difficult to hide his excitement.
King Jin looked at Han Zhan beside him and straightened his waist more and more, Han Zhan is the uncle of the third prince, and he is a natural opponent, so King Jin doesn't want Han Zhan to be in the limelight, especially in entertaining the princes of other countries.
Han Zhan didn't fight when he saw the appearance of King Jin, his attitude was respectful, he did what he should do, and he never showed off what he shouldn't do, but Rao was like this, but the prince of Yan was more interested in Han Zhan, as for King Jin, Prince Yan actually faintly despised it.
Prince Yan's surname is Ji Mingce, who is the favorite concubine of the Emperor of Yan, and has always been a person who speaks the same in Yan Kingdom. For a prince like King Jin, the eldest son of the Jin Kingdom, who can't even mix with a prince, Ji Ce feels that the other party has no future at all.
King Jin didn't know these things
, has been explaining the Jin Kingdom to Ji Ce, trying to show the strength of the Jin Kingdom, and also said how good he is, how much Emperor Sheng He expects from him, if it weren't for his demeanor, Ji Ce would have wanted to roll his eyes if he didn't want to maintain his demeanor.
Su Xizhu was also dragged by Xia Yun to the Risheng Restaurant to watch the Yan Kingdom's mission, and Su Wen was also full of interest, but Zhong Lishu and Jin Yi's expressions were a little solemn.
"Xiaoyun, you see, that person is so tall, his arms are thicker than my legs, isn't he here to fight us? Do we have anyone like him? ”
Xia Yun was shocked when he looked at a black-faced young man riding a batch of black horses, and the young man seemed to feel that someone was looking back at him, and the frightened Xia Yun hurriedly squatted down.
"Look at your cowardice." Jin Yi used a fan to lighten Xia Yun's head.
"Hmph, you have to be cowardly to the Venerable Master's family, and the people of the Yan Kingdom will not give you this royal baby of the Jin Kingdom a pimple of face."
Xia Yun was not convinced, Jin Yi was knocked by Xia Yun a few times in a row, and the angry Xia Yun shouted.
"Brother, I'm afraid your competition is a little difficult this time."
Su Xizhu looked at the Yan Guoerlang below, Yan Guo itself is more martial than the Jin State, and the people are stronger than the people of the Jin State, just because there are many good generals in the Jin State, so they have a draw with the Yan State militarily, but at this time, it is a single martial arts, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Su Wen to take advantage of them.
"Don't worry, with me and Jin Yi, we will definitely beat them to the ground." Su Wen compared his fists, meaning that he was powerful.
Although Jin Yi was pampered and grew up, his family has been a good general for generations, and his family has a family history, even if the Queen Mother is reluctant to suffer Jin Yi, she is also reluctant to lose the stunts at home in Jin Yi, so even if the Queen Mother will not let Jin Yi go to the battlefield, but Jin Yi has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and the learning has never been left behind.
"Are there any famous talents and talented women in Yan Kingdom? Xiaozhu, who are they going to compete against? Although Xia Yun was very happy and proud when Su Xizhu was first selected, he was a little worried when he calmed down now.
"The more famous man who came with the mission this time in Yan Guo is Zhang Yu, it should be the red-faced young man that Xia Yun saw just now, I heard that he was born with divine power and outstanding martial arts, and even many famous generals in Yan Country are not his opponents. It can be described as the first fierce rival.
The other one is Ouyang Yunsheng, he is the closed disciple of Liu Ziru, the great Confucian of Yan Kingdom, I heard that Yan Guo commented that he must be blue in the future, by the way, Liu Ziru's granddaughter Liu Linglong is the leader of the noble girl of Yan Kingdom this time, and she is good at calligraphy. ”
Jin Yi looked at Su Xizhu, and Su Xizhu smiled angrily, "See what I do?" My father is also a master of calligraphy and painting, although I have no reputation, but I am also good at calligraphy, but I am low-key and everyone knows not much. ”
Listening to Su Xizhu's boasting, Jin Yi and the others laughed again, and then Jin Yi introduced several more famous talents and talented women in Yan Kingdom.
"You know a lot." Xia Yun looked at Jin Yi Rushu and admired Jia Zhen very much.
"Otherwise, you think that the palace will casually meet the challenge of Yan Kingdom without knowing anything? What about you when we are you? Not only did we get rid of each other, but they also knew our participants thoroughly. It's not right, I guess there are two people on our side, and they should be very confused. After Jin Yi finished speaking, he looked at Su Xizhu and Su Wen meaningfully.
