All the 20 talented women have been displayed, and the musicians and maiko of the palace music workshop have come to the stage to perform, but now there is no computer, and the scores and tickets have to be counted manually, which takes time.

A quarter of an hour later, the score and votes were counted, and the shopkeeper came to the stage to talk about the score first and then the votes, and the two were converted to get the total score, "Li Xia Gongzi, the first place in the men's group...... The first place in the women's group, Miss Lu Fang, and the second place, Miss Jiang Wanqiu...... 3rd place: Miss Gu Yuezhen...... 7th place: Miss Shen Lin ......"

In addition to the first place reward, the other rankings also have financial rewards, for these sons and young ladies, they do not look at this bit of gold and silver; But Yan Hagi drew a picture and asked people to make medals, which were engraved with the words "the first place in the talent show".

It has nothing to do with money, this is glory, and the talented women are very happy, and the eldest princess of Chengyang announced another good news, "Your Majesty has granted the top ten a one-year tax exemption." The young lady who withdrew from the competition was annoyed on the sidelines,

Although there is no shortage of this tax money in the family, who would think that there is a lot of silver? This is a real benefit, talented women smile reservedly, and their status in the family will be improved because of this. Among the talented people, there was a lively character, so he shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

At first, only a few people shouted, shouting and shouting, and the audience in the audience also shouted, and the attendant sent by the saint to supervise laughed from ear to ear, and when he returned to the palace to resume his life, he described this scene to the saint and Empress Shen.

"Thanks to Azusa Tong." The saint patted Empress Shen's hand, and the tax reduction and exemption was suggested by Empress Shen.

Empress Shen smiled, "Then Your Majesty has to adopt it." ”

The talent conference ended successfully, the crown princess and Princess Su handed in the list, the top 20 in the women's group, and the one who withdrew from the competition was removed, only 19 people; The crown princess carefully wrote down the appearance, character and family background of the nineteen people, as well as the talents they were good at.

Empress Shen looked at it and said with a smile: "It's hard for you to think about it so thoroughly, and it will be much more convenient to pick someone in the future." ”

"It's all Xiaoxiao's idea." The crown princess does not take credit.

"She has her brains, you have worked hard." Empress Shen was happy and rewarded a bunch of things to the three of them.

The residual heat of the talent show has not yet dissipated, and the official media are very busy. The annual Keju Contest has also begun, and the city is full of events, lively and lively, and the merchants are making a lot of money, and they are very happy all day long.

One day at the end of August, Honeysuckle brought back a message, "Young lady, King Qin canonized a side concubine." ”

Yan Hagi was stunned, in the early years, King Qin and Princess Qin were also a loving couple, but later because of some things, the relationship between the couple faded, but King Qin still gave Princess Qin the honor of the main family; For so many years, in addition to Princess Qin, there are only two concubines who have not given birth to King Qin, how could he suddenly canonize a side concubine?

"Inquire ...... Forget it, don't inquire, Angelica went to write a post and invited Mrs. Bao to come over as a guest. Yan Hagi decided to ask a well-informed person about it.

It's just that before the post was delivered, Yu Qingqing came to the door, "It's hot to death, it's hot to death, and the autumn tiger is really hot to peel." ”

Yan Hagi poured her a cup of mint tea, "Drink a cup to cool off." ”

Yu Qingqing took a cup and drank it all, "Another cup." ”

Yan Hao poured her another cup, Yu Qingqing didn't drink it this time, and sat down on the couch with the cup, "King Qin canonized a side concubine, you know, right?" ”

"I just heard what Honeysuckle said, and I was thinking about inviting you over and asking the reason, so you came." Yan Hagi smiled.

Yu Qingqing took a sip of tea and said, "Let me tell you, Princess Qin has a problem with her brain. ”

"What's wrong?" Yan Hao frowned, that side concubine wouldn't be canonized by Princess Qin, right?

Yu Qingqing sneered twice and said, "A few days ago, Princess Qin went to Princess Zhao's mother's house for a banquet, guess what she said that she didn't like?" ”

"Doesn't she go out to socialize much?" Yan Hagi asked.

"Princess Zhao is her concubine, I think I came to give Princess Zhao face. But she might as well not go, she said in front of Mrs. Chen's wife that Jiangnan is a thin horse. Yu Qingqing rolled her eyes and said.

Yan Hagi was dumbfounded, "She's crazy?" Why did she say that? Did Mrs. Chen offend her? Although Yan Hagi is filial piety at home, he also knows that the new Mrs. Chen is from Jiangnan. In the clan circle, there are mostly women in the north, but there are many Jiangnan people among the ministers, and most of their wives are Jiangnan women. Princess Qin's words offended a large number of people.

"Who knows what crazy she is, my sister-in-law was present at the time, and when she heard her say this, she was shocked, and everyone privately said that they would not invite Princess Qin to the banquet in the future." Yu Qingqing said angrily.

"It didn't get out of the way." Yan Hagi smiled lightly.

Yu Qingqing pursed her lips, "It's not that I didn't pass it on, but I know that you have a good relationship with the county lord, and no one comes to you to pass it on, and I also go back to my mother's house and listen to what my sister-in-law said, otherwise, I wouldn't know about it." ”

"Does this matter have anything to do with King Qin's canonization of the side concubine?" Yan Hagi asked.

"Of course it matters, you're really smart, and you're confused." Yu Qingqing stretched out her hand and poked Yan Hao's head.

"King Qin's canonization of the side concubine won't be because he wants her to be a housekeeper and go out to socialize, right?" Yan Hao frowned, the princess of King Qin had been filial piety for three years because of her mother's loss, and the filial piety period was almost over, she would definitely have to take care of the housekeeping when she entered the door, but would the concubine be willing to hand over the rights in her hands? King Qin is also doing something foolish.

"The housekeeper shouldn't let her take care of it, probably let her go out for socializing." Yu Qingqing speculated.

"A few years ago, it wasn't a big deal for Princess Qin not to go out to socialize, in order to go out to socialize, is it necessary to canonize a side concubine?" Yan Hagi pouted.

"Does King Qin have other intentions in canonizing the side concubine?" Yu Qingqing said with his chin propped up.

"Probably so." Yan Hao sighed, feeling that the Qin Palace's mansion would be a mess in the future.

"Do you want to write to the county lord about this?" Yu Qingqing asked.

Yan Hao thought for a while and said, "It's useless to tell Heyi, it's so far away, the whip can't reach it, and even if she rushes back now, the side concubine has already been canonized, so don't let her worry." ”

Yu Qingqing also nodded depressedly.

"By the way, whose daughter is the concubine?" Yan Hagi asked.

"I heard that it is the daughter of a seven-rank petty official, surnamed Huang." Yu Qingqing replied.

The two chatted for a while, Yu Qingqing said goodbye and went home, Yan Hagi sent her outside the second gate and watched her get into the carriage.

Princess Qin's brain is not innocent, for her sister who is jealous of the concubine, she talked nonsense, which made King Qin angry, locked her in the house and didn't let her go out, and in order to let her have something to do, canonized a side concubine, let them make trouble at home, how is it better to make trouble at home than to make trouble outside.

As for the Lu Wang's family, the King of Qin forbade her to enter and leave the Qin Palace, saving her from having nothing to do with the Princess of Qin.
