Chapter Ninety-Five: The Final Competition
Shangguan Feibai quickly stepped into the study, locked the door, and crouched in front of the desk, finally unable to bear the torment in his heart, bowed his head and groaned, and let out a sleepy beast-like roar in his throat, low and lonely.
After a long time, Shangguan Feibai soothed his mood before opening the door of the study, but saw Zuo Xiangling sitting lonely on the steps in front of the door, and couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, how could he take care of himself, he didn't care about Zuo Xiangling's emotions at all, and now he should be sad.
"How are you? Then go to dinner, I'll make you sour noodle soup to eat. ”
Hearing the sound of the door opening behind her, Zuo Xiangling smiled sideways, facing the light like a beautiful elf all the time.
Shangguan Feibai nodded subconsciously, and his face finally felt a little warmer.
The next day was the second exam, which was written by the queen herself, and she personally supervised and reviewed it, and everyone couldn't help but cheer up the spirit of twelve points.
Compared with the trickiness of the first game, this second game is much more normal, which is the painting in the qinqi calligraphy and painting.
This is not too stressful for Zuo Xiangling, although the people who stayed behind are basically rich ladies who were born in famous families, there are few who can't draw.
But as a chef, she will mix this painting skill in her pastry homework, so she is still a little sure, at least she will not be eliminated.
However, she didn't know how to paint this ancient ink painting, and before becoming a chef, she had studied sketching for a while, so she decided to use this sketch to compete.
But this kind of pencil that did not have a sketch in ancient times, Zuo Xiangling had to retreat to the next best thing and use the coal after the fire as a paintbrush.
Regarding Zuo Xiangling's request, the palace maid beside her couldn't help but be surprised, and finally asked the queen to find coal from the kitchen.
Originally, Zuo Xiangling thought that she would have a better chance of winning if she drew the queen, but that time she almost died under the hands of the queen when she entered the palace, so she was reluctant in her heart, and finally saw a pot of good-looking five-color dragon claw chrysanthemum, so she used this chrysanthemum as a reference.
When the queen reviewed it, she was really taken aback when she saw Zuo Xiangling's paintings, this chrysanthemum was lifelike, if it weren't for the smell of charcoal, she felt that she would believe that this was a pot of ink chrysanthemum.
In the end, although Zuo Xiangling did not win the first place, her results were not very bad, at least she entered the top five, and only the queen knew the reason.
The third game was a bit casual, and they were asked to draw lots, ask each other questions, and the one who answered more won.
The road is narrow, and Zuo Xiangling is on the same page with Chengyu again.
"Let's get the question out."
Zuo Xiangling looked at Chengyu angrily, neither of them is convinced, and if they collide together, they will definitely fight for you to lose and I will win.
"This song is only because there is a heaven, and it is an idiom."
Not to be outdone, Chengyu glanced at Zuo Xiangling, but Zuo Xiangling raised his eyebrows when he heard this, guess the lantern riddle? At this point of difficulty, it's not that the previous grades were not good, so I deliberately put water on her.
"Extraordinary."
Zuo Xiangling replied lightly, her expression was indifferent, just like the game street, there was no sense of urgency at all.
"The doctor prescribed you three pills and told you to take one every half hour, how long will it take for you to finish them?"
Since Chengyu has come out of the lantern riddles, Zuo Xiangling is not too embarrassed by her, so she simply makes a brain teaser about the lantern riddles.
"An hour and a half."
Such a simple question is easy to ask, is Zuo Xiangling his three-year-old child?
Chengyu glared at Zuo Xiangling angrily, as if to say, it was too simple.
"Wrong, it's an hour, eat one at the beginning of an hour, eat one at half an hour, and eat the last one after half an hour."
Zuo Xiangling thought to herself, this game is finally a little easier, dealing with the IQ of a child like Chengyu, you can win by playing casually, it is simply stress-free.
Hearing Zuo Xiangling say this, Chengyu suddenly realized, and the eunuch recorded on her side also made a note under her name, and couldn't help gritting her teeth and saying the next topic.
These riddles are memorized by her for a long time, she has a bad memory since she was a child, and she hates reading the most, the first test of the book, she thinks of herself as Princess Jing, and finally memorized it, this riddle is the most easy to remember, but she also didn't sleep all night, and memorized it all night.
She didn't believe it, the results of her hard work all night would make Zuo Xiangling guess all right, and she would not be able to guess Zuo Xiangling's question.
The reality is often cruel, there are several questions in succession, Chengyu did not follow, although Zuo Xiangling did not guess all of them, but he also guessed more than half of them, in comparison, Chengyu seems to be bound to lose.
Seeing the timing incense that was about to burn out, Chengyu remembered that she was about to cry, if she continued like this, she would be eliminated, this was the last round, and there would really be no chance after elimination.
She is about to watch her Yunyuan brother marry someone else!
No, she can't!
"Last question, what is the maximum number of eggs a person can eat on an empty stomach?"
Looking at the hot sweat between Chengyu's nose and forehead, Zuo Xiangling couldn't help but soften, she could understand Chengyu's mood at this time, but she was not so generous, and gave Shangguan Feibai to others, they fell in love with the same person, but because of their different positions, they had to decide a winner.
"I, I don't know, I don't know......"
The previous question was not answered, and the urgency in Chengyu's heart was superimposed layer by layer, until she was overwhelmed, tears swirling in her eyes, but she stubbornly did not fall.
"One, because eating one is not an empty stomach."
Saying the answer, Zuo Xiangling didn't know whether she was relieved or achieved her goal, and at the same time, she felt relaxed, as if she was missing something.
Hearing Zuo Xiangling's answer, Chengyu couldn't help but cover her mouth and sit down, Zuo Xiangling subconsciously went to help the eunuch who recorded it, but they all opened their hands.
Zuo Xiangling just stood there like that, watching Chengyu hug her head and cry, not feeling good in her heart.
Until the end of the third competition, Chengyu's whole person was different, he didn't speak with red eyes, and he didn't have his usual liveliness and cuteness at all, it really seemed like a different person.
Zuo Xiangling didn't dare to look at it, so she had to wait for her final results, the final results were very good, ranking in the top three, the other two, one is Yan Congyun, the other is someone she doesn't know, what is Sun Panxia, the name is very good, and it is a standard lady at first glance.
Just three days when she was anxiously waiting for the holy decree in the palace, Zuo Xiangling was simply restless, she didn't think about tea and dinner, Shangguan Feibai couldn't help but laugh at her when she saw it, but she didn't even want to say a word of rebuttal.
Chengyu's crying that day made her feel faintly uneasy in her heart, if she lost Shangguan Feibai, it would be so sad, after all, this is the first man she wants to rely on when she comes to this world.
