Chapter 62: Promotion

As soon as the sky was bright, the Queen Mother's Luanfeng Hall was full of people, all of whom were the ladies who were going to participate in the promotion today.

Twelve people are divided into two times, a group of six people, in a trapezoidal seat arrangement, the winner of each level will be deducted one point, the one who does not win will not be scored, and the last one who will be awarded three points will be promoted.

said that he was discussing the reason for the promotion, but it was just to fill in the gaps for Zijue's lack of being close to women.

Everyone knows that Zijue is not close to beauty, so these women, palace people, or concubines have no heirs.

has no heirs, is there a chance to please Zijue, so how can there be a chance to be promoted?

If you don't get promoted, this reincarnation, the annual draft, wouldn't they all be women?

If so, what other official eunuch is willing to send his daughter out to ask for the sadness of this lonely life?

Therefore, the queen mother set up this seat, so that the world must not use Zijue's eccentricity to criticize the imperial city and the king of this dynasty, and then shake his throne.

You know, a king can be uneducated and unfamiliar with military science, but he must not be unpopular with the people.

If you lose the hearts of the people, I'm afraid that you won't be able to continue to stay on this dragon chair.

The Queen Mother is Zijue's biological mother, and she has to think about her future, although Zijue has been called the king, but she can't look at the bleak future, and the mother naturally wants to pave the way for her son.

Level 1: Jean

Each girl will report to the Decision Division one day in advance according to the instrument they want to use, and the general manager will procure it for them.

Qing Yao handed over the zheng, Hua Li handed over the flute, since I was a child, I watched Jingchen play the flute, and I also learned some fur in the posture tone, although I can't blow the tune, but it's still okay to pretend.

In addition, it is easy to use spells to make a random tune.

Fei Su handed over Xun, which is rare, but it is not strange for Fei Su to have such a girl.

Qing Yaohua and Fei Su happened to be divided into a group, and there were three other young ladies, namely Pipa, Xiao and Drum, and the six of them played a song "Liangzhou Ci" together.

Qing Yao had heard of it a long time ago, but Hua Li and Fei Su looked at each other, Hua Li didn't say anything, Fei Su didn't ask about the boudoir since she was a child, she didn't know, and she was never interested.

The two had to follow Qing Yao's tune, and barely made some sounds.

The other three ladies are like fish in water, with a clear division of labor, and they happen to live in the same dormitory, and they happen to have different musical instruments, so they have already planned it, and the division of labor is clear, simple and clear.

Qing Yao alone drove the tone of the two, very nervous and heavy, no way, since they live in the same dormitory, they must support each other, at least not infighting, and the estrangement between Hua Li and Fei Su will be eliminated as soon as possible.

Coincidentally, Fei Su has a little study of the flute, but she prefers Xun more, she knows the posture and fingering of the flute, but this "Liangzhou Ci" is depressed and frustrated, refreshing and simple, and then look at Hua Li's head scratching posture is extremely out of tune.

I don't know how she made such a sound, this makes Fei Su really curious, besides, the mouth of this flute and the place where the flower is away from the breath can be said to be the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth, is it because his own research has deviated?

But at this time, there is no room for cranky thoughts and suspicions, after all, it is difficult to protect yourself, so it is better to take care of the present first.

The other three young ladies also had ghosts in their hearts, and when they found the flaws of Fei Su Huali and the two, they sped up the rhythm, Qing Yao could barely keep up, and Hua Li and Fei Su were like wild horses that could not control the tune in their hands, and then they also disrupted Qing Yao's rhythm.

The three of them were sweating profusely, and they didn't know how to redeem it, at this time, a young boy quietly poked his head out from the gate of the Luan Feng Palace, took out one of his jade whistles and blew it indiscriminately, disrupting the tune of the whole song at the moment before Qing Yao was in chaos.

At this time, the three young ladies couldn't hear each other's rhythm, and they were also confused, and "Liangzhou Ci" instantly became a pot of porridge.

The six of them hurriedly knelt down and apologized for their misguided behavior and demanded punishment.

The father-in-law also shouted: "Who is so bold and rude? Disturbing such an important tournament system? ”

"Me!" The young boy jumped up and ran in with a whistle: "Mother, is my song "Liangzhou Ci" still beautiful? ”

The Empress Dowager's originally serious expression suddenly became kind: "It's Le'er!" Beautiful, naturally beautiful, sit quickly. ”

It turned out that the young child's name was Jimole, and he was the youngest son of the Jimo royal family.

"Get up!" The Queen Mother said to the six young ladies: "In this piano competition, because the music disturbed the beautiful music of all the people, it has been a tie, and they are all scored. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie." Although the three people felt that it was unfair, it was not easy to refute it.

Ji Mole sat next to the Queen Mother, and her childish face was really cute.

Level 2: Chess

The name of this game is "樗蒲", and the "樗蒲" uses a total of five dice, called "Wumu", and the shape is also very strange, roughly like ginkgo, with a square shape in the middle, and a pointed polyhedron at both ends. Each dice is dyed black on both sides and white on both sides, some of which are carved with a "calf" pattern and some with a "pheasant" on the white surface. These five ginkgo biloba dice can be counted in ten permutations.

"Lu": All five woods are black, counting as sixteen chips;

"Pheasant": two pheasants and three black, counted as fourteen chips;

"Calf": two calves and three whites, counted as ten chips;

"White": The five trees are all white, which is counted as eight chips.

The above four are called "Guicai", and there are six kinds of miscellaneous colors below: "open", "plug", "tower", "bald", "pouting" and "pounding".

When playing chess, you can roll the expensive chess piece and knock out the opponent's chess pieces to pass the level by yourself.

However, when the drinking order is carried out, it is generally to take two sets of "five woods", that is, ten dice to roll together, and decide how much to drink according to the number of colors thrown.

Since everyone wants to be able to throw a prize, when a shot and ten dice spin in the bowl without stopping, most people can't help but shout "Lu, Lu, Lu" or "pheasant, pheasant, pheasant", so "Hulu drinking pheasant" has become synonymous with "Pu" and even all board games.

This kind of chess method is a new trick, and it is mostly in and out of the folk chess game, but what the queen mother has to test is the ability of the ladies to adapt on the spot.

It is not surprising that these ladies should not be familiar with this kind of play, most of them are Go, backgammon games, and they will definitely panic.

And what the Queen Mother wants is this ability to play on the spot.

Twelve people, divided into six groups, play in pairs, and are managed by professional people in this chess game, supervising and inspecting.

In this regard, Qing Yao has suffered a loss, Master Su never allows himself to go out at will to play with others, let alone this kind of play.

But Hua Li and Fei Su are different, Fei Su has often secretly studied this kind of chess game with his good guards since he was a child, and Hua Li happened to be divided into a group with Fei Su, and it is easy to fool the past with spells, even if he will not win, he will not deduct points.

The first group is Fei Su and Hua Li, the two do not give in to each other, Hua Li uses spells, follow Fei Su's steps, she has long seen that Fei Su knows this kind of chess, so she draws a gourd and follows his pace to play chess.

At this time, Fei Su still had doubts in his heart, Hua Li's chess method was chaotic on the surface, but in fact, he was taking it step by step, thinking that Hua Li also studied his chess game rules, thinking that this was Hua Li's own strategy.

In fact, it was just a mistake to follow Fei Su's steps with a spell, which created the illusion of a city.

And Hua Li knew by observing Fei Yin's expression and the anxious and breathless appearance that he was on the right move, so he calmly continued to follow Fei Yin's steps.

In the end, he took advantage of Fei Yao's rare suspicion to win this chess game, and Qing Yao's opponent happened to be not good at this kind of chess game, so they both drawn, and only Hua Li got one point, but who would have thought that Hua Li didn't even know how he won.

Le'er found the clue and saw that Hua Li was not a simple person, so she smiled with interest, just like when Yan Ling first knew Xiao Yu.

Level 3: Books

"Book" is calligraphy, which is not a problem for all young ladies, including Hua Li, since a big stroke of the pen, there is a skimming, on a piece of paper, there is a big character vigorously placed there.

Hua Li also used spells to skillfully combine the essence of the fonts of several other young ladies, and wrote a dusty word for "dust".

And Qing Yao's characters are unique, small and exquisite, with beautiful handwriting, and a pair of "Pipa Xing" is mentioned on the huge paper, which is even more brilliant.

Fei Yu made a difficulty, he had never been able to practice calligraphy, and the ink on the inkstone was everywhere, and everyone's anger dissipated.

In the end, only one point was recorded for Hua Li and Qing Yao, the others were recorded as a draw, and Fei Su needed to deduct one point.

The fourth and final level: drawing

Twelve people painted at the same time, and they all painted the first person in their hearts.

Many of the young ladies painted their fathers or mothers, and a few painted emperors they had never met, which almost made Le Er laugh out loud.

Fei Su drew his childhood playmate, and Qing Yao painted Jing Chen.

But Hua Li painted a boy who thought he was wearing a blue cloak, with a dignified appearance, a white jade pinned to his waist, and a small butterfly flying around him.

Qing Yao finished painting early, because Jingchen's appearance had already been engraved in her heart, and she could draw it with a pen.

Looking left and right, I couldn't tell that the person on the painting was Jingchen, and I couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't what she likes Xiao Luo?" Who is this white-faced little student? ”

In fact, this person doesn't even know who Hua Li is, but it seems that he has seen it a long time ago, but it seems that he has never seen it, but every time he recalls or meets this person in a dream, he has a different feeling in his heart, or luck, or reluctance, or regret, but he never remembers who he is.

Twelve people stood in a row, all holding up their own paintings, thick and colorful but just right, Le'er personally came down to comment, promised to those who painted their parents, and looked at the few who painted the emperor: "Have you ever seen my imperial brother, how do you know that he is so handsome?" ”

"We have heard of the king's deeds, and we must be so, and we have never deviated." The women who painted the emperor were flattering, which really made Le'er look at it.

He looked at Fei Su again, nodded, and motioned for a note.

But he liked the two ink paintings of Hua Li and Qing Yao very much, and quietly showed a smile.

Fei Su was already lagging behind, not to mention that he had deducted a point just now, of course he couldn't swallow this breath, so he argued: "We are all parents and playmates, or the king, how can you paint a handsome little student, and my sweetheart has entered the palace, I'm afraid there will be violations." ”

Before Hua Li could refute, Le'er helped to defend: "Eh? It's not right for Miss to say this, who doesn't know who doesn't know that my eldest brother is not close to women? This time, the concubine is just going through the motions, isn't Miss serious? Why not have a sweetheart? Don't let my eldest brother have the notorious reputation of a living widow, but it is as dangerous as Miss, be careful because Miss has made the eldest brother bear the name of a faint king. ”

"Fei was stunned, and asked the third prince to forgive his sins." Fei Su knew that he was out of proportion, and quickly knelt down.
