Chapter 108: Escape from the Inn
Forget the ......"
“……”
The competition is in full swing, and in one round, more than a dozen people were defeated, and the rest were only seven, including Queen Jiang Youxi.
If Jiang Youxi didn't feel that letting everyone stop at the first question would be too much of a slap in the face, he stopped.
"This first question is about talent, so this second question is about morality, right?" Jiang Youxi glanced at everyone present, and when he saw their doubts, he smiled.
went on to say, "What does the emperor think, if he thinks that the concubine's idea is good, then the result of this second question will be decided by the emperor?" ”
"I think it's very good, I don't know, how will I compete in this second round?" Zhao Yu didn't ignore the sly smile on the corner of Jiang Youxi's mouth, since Jiang Youxi wanted to play, why not cooperate with her by herself?
"Virtue is morality, how a person's character is, determines a person's quality or bad, everyone's character is different, and naturally there is no unified standard."
Jiang Youxi observed the reactions of the courtiers while observing them, and most of them nodded in agreement.
"This second question is how about playing freely and showing your most perfect side?"
When the remaining six ladies heard this, they instantly smiled, isn't this a godsend.
Especially Zhao Xunxin and Cao Yunxin, they smiled proudly, and did not forget to give each other a provocative look.
What they didn't know was that behind the two of them, a pair of eyes full of meaning were staring at the two of them.
"I don't know, in this game, does the queen still want to participate?" , Master Taifu suddenly said loudly.
"This palace originally intended to participate, but, in case the emperor only has this palace in his eyes, and he can't see other ladies anymore, won't he block you at that time?"
As soon as Jiang Youxi's words came out, Master Taifu's face was as black as coal, if it weren't for the wrong occasion, I'm afraid he would have gone away a long time ago.
Master Taifu took a few deep breaths, and then suppressed the anger in his heart, "The queen is reasonable. ”
"Let's get started, who's going to come first?" Zhao Yu spoke out at the right time, breaking the atmosphere of Jiaozuo in the imperial garden.
"The courtiers come first." was previously snatched by Zhao Xunyao at the forefront, and Cao Yunxin was not convinced.
Yes, this time, as soon as Zhao Yu's voice fell, Cao Yunxin immediately stood up, with a generous smile on her face, which made it impossible to find fault.
was preempted, Zhao Xunyao stared at Cao Yunxin viciously, Cao Yunxin used to rely on her father to be an agarwood, her eyes were above the top, and she used to bully her with Zhao Xunxin.
It's too late to say anything now, Zhao Xunyao can only pray silently in her heart, Cao Yunxin made a fool of herself in public, making the emperor disgusted with her.
I don't know if Zhao Xunyao's prayer was fulfilled, or yes, I saw that Cao Yunxin had just taken two steps, and the clothes on her body suddenly fell off.
Suddenly, it was too late for Cao Yunxin to cover her clothes, and she directly exposed the pink belly pocket inside, with two mandarin ducks on it.
"Ahh Cao Yunxin's mind was blank, she didn't know what to do, she squatted on the ground with her chest covered, and shouted hysterically, "Don't look, turn around, don't look, otherwise Miss Ben will gouge out your eyes!" ”
The ministers present and the palace maids and eunuchs turned around.
The ladies stared at Cao Yunxin with a joke on their faces, whispering left and right, nothing more than saying that Cao Yunxin was blatantly unclothed in order to attract the emperor's attention, and it was really painstaking......
Especially Zhao Xunyao, otherwise there would be a veil to cover it, and everyone present would be able to prejudice the corners of her grinning mouth.
Zhao Yu glanced at Jiang Youxi vaguely, this was also arranged by Jiang Youxi in the future, but Jiang Youxi shook her head faintly, even if she looked down on Cao Yunxin, she would not use such indiscriminate means.
No one noticed that Lou Yan, whose sense of presence had always been low, had a triumphant smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Cao Yunxin, you can't blame me, if you want to blame, you have to blame Jiang Youxi, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have to do everything possible to get your father's attention."
"Only the more you disappoint your father, the more your father will be able to see my good ......"
Mrs. Cao listened to the words in her ear, and she was so angry that she almost fainted, but Prime Minister Cao took off her coat and let the maids wrap Cao Yunxin.
Prime Minister Cao Cheng's face was as ashamed as a lantern, feeling that their Cao family's face had been lost several times, plus Lou Yan was eliminated in the first round this time, and now, he didn't want to stay here and be laughed at.
"Your Majesty, the queen's mother, Weichen has no way to teach his son, there is such a scandalous thing, and Weichen has no face to stay any longer, Weichen will retire and ask the emperor to fulfill it."
"Well, in my opinion, this matter is strange, Prime Minister Cao Cheng should not blindly criticize Miss Cao, it is better to ask carefully, so as not to be framed by others, if you encounter any difficulties, just come to tell me, I will definitely call the shots for Miss Cao."
Zhao Yu naturally doesn't care how many secrets there are, and this interview still has to be said beautifully.
What everyone didn't know was that just when there was chaos, a little maid present quietly slipped out and hasn't come back yet.
"This matter is related to Miss Cao's reputation, I hope that everyone present can keep silent, otherwise, it will be punished in the name of slandering the royal family!"
Prime Minister Cao Cheng is an important minister, and Zhao Yu naturally has to find a way to appease him and save his face.
"Wechen thanked the emperor, Wechen retired!"
This small episode did not affect the next competition, compared to the scandal of gossiping Cao Yunxin, of course, it is more important to be the imperial concubine.
It seems that God destined these concubines to be not peaceful, no, when it came to Zhao Xunyao, a gust of wind that didn't know where it came from, suddenly blew off the veil on Zhao Xunyao's face.
And Zhao Xunyao's originally small and delicate face actually had a lot of small red bumps, and some of the pimples broke by themselves, forming a thick layer of black scabs, which made others very disgusted.
"No, it can't be, it will be like this?"
Master Taifu didn't expect that her daughter, who was like a flower a few days ago, would become this ghost, and originally thought that without a Cao Yunxin, Xun Yao would be the best candidate for the crown, but it would become like this......
After these two farces, Zhao Yu and Jiang Youxi lost interest, so they used the excuse that they were tired and sent the ministers back directly.
Even though the ministers deliberately did not choose a concubine, no one mentioned it, after all, what happened before is still vivid, and no one wants to touch the mold.
Therefore, the matter of choosing a concubine this time ended without a problem, and for a long time in the future, no one dared to mention the matter of choosing a concubine again.
"I don't know what Cao Yunxin and Zhao Xunyao offended about, and it is really retribution for letting them make a fool of themselves in public."
Until she returned to the dormitory, Jiang Youxi was still embarrassed, she had already thought about how to rectify them, but she didn't expect that it had become a foregone conclusion before she made a move.
"Whatever, it's not right for others to do it, even if they detect any clues, it has nothing to do with us, and it just happens to take our urgent needs."
Zhao Yu is happy and relaxed, sometimes he really wants to leave this throne and take Jiang Youxi around, and he doesn't have to be threatened by those ministers everywhere.
"Yes, I'm happy today, I'll go to the small kitchen to get something to eat, you go and see the children first, the children are bored to death today."
Jiang Youxi didn't think much about it, anyway, their goal was achieved, and they planned to cook and celebrate in person.
……
Outside the customs
Qiao Xin was rescued by Zhao Xunxin, and she was in a coma for several days in a row, and she didn't wake up until today.
"You saved me?" After going through so much, Qiao Xin calmed down a lot and looked at the surrounding environment.
A small thatched house, ventilated on all sides, and the only table was old, and even a leg was missing, so I took this stone and stood on tiptoe.
It's even more dilapidated than the ones I lived in before......
"You don't have to thank me, if it weren't for the fact that you don't know your life well, and you don't have anyone to take care of you, I wouldn't be too lazy to save you." Zhao Xunxin sat at the table, without raising her head, and was doing needlework.
"You've been sent here too? You are still willing to do the work done by these subordinates, I remember that you used to be very arrogant. ”
Qiao Xin stood up and looked at Zhao Xunxin with a smile, as if she wanted to see her through.
If you want to survive here, you have to rely on paying insoles for others, making clothes, and sewing and mending for a few broken silver, barely surviving.
For the work done by this subordinate, Zhao Xunxin couldn't do it at first, but he didn't have half a penny of silver on his body, and he would starve to death if he looked at it.
However, Zhao Xunxin told herself in her heart that she couldn't die, she hadn't taken revenge yet, and she could die in such a ghost place. Let Jiang Youxi be her queen well?
"Why do you laugh at me, we all have the same fate, but I'm not willing to live like this for the rest of my life, I want to go back, I just don't know what the former queen thinks."
Zhao Xunxin has experienced the warmth and coldness of the world in the past few days, and she has been a lot easier, and she no longer wants to be as brainless as before.
When Qiao Xin heard this, she didn't answer immediately, her eyebrows were lowered, and she couldn't see the emotion in her eyes clearly.
Can you really watch Jiang Youxi's slut stand tall and be admired by the world? And you, just like this, died silently in this bitter cold place? ”
"Don't forget, otherwise Jiang Youxi and Zhao Yu, you are the queen of the world, enjoying the glory and wealth, they took everything away from you, are you really willing?"
Speaking of excitement, Zhao Xunxin put something in his hand and grabbed Qiao Xin's shoulder tightly, with madness in his eyes, which made people tremble.
"What are your plans......" Qiao Xin was still very calm, but the hatred in her eyes betrayed her.
"First of all, what we have to do is get out of here, you've been here longer than me, you must know where the defense is weak after all, right?"
