"Don't," Fu Yuanyuan hurriedly shook his hand, "the game is ready to accompany you, there is no need to be on this occasion." ”

Tong Lu smiled and patted Fu Yuanyuan's shoulder heartily: "It seems that you don't plan to show your hand in chess, that's okay, let's find time to play chess another day." ”

Chang Xishu asked on the side: "Yuan Yuan, which other competition do you want to participate in?" ”

"I'm not going to participate," Fu Yuanyuan was slightly puzzled, "Why do you have to participate?" ”

Chang Xishu and Tong Lu looked at each other, and after a while, Chang Xishu covered his mouth and smiled: "It seems that Yuanyuan, your father and mother really love and care for you." ”

Fu Yuanyuan became more and more puzzled, and only after some careful questioning did he learn the reason.

It turned out that the reason why the nobles from various provinces enthusiastically participated in the elite banquet, in addition to many of them wanting to show their talents, some of them had to participate because of the requirements of the elders in the family.

For example, Tong Lu.

"My mother said that if you don't get a good ranking at the elite banquet, you won't let me go with my father to practice martial arts."

Tong Lu, as a girl from the General's Mansion, her mother can tolerate her learning kung fu on weekdays, but she can't tolerate rumors that she is just a vulgar girl with strong martial arts.

Therefore, entering the Elite Women's Club is a bargaining chip that Tong Lu uses to exchange with her mother.

The same is true for Chang Xishu, as a girl from the queen's family, she has no reason to escape.

After hearing this, Fu Yuanyuan looked at the two girlfriends with sympathy: "I will cheer you up." ”

The elite banquet was held in the imperial garden, and when the nobles were almost there, the queen mother came with a group of harem concubines.

The queen lady was graceful and luxurious, looked at the nobles in the field gently, and said elegantly and calmly: "The elite banquet is one of the major events held by the royal family every year, aiming to encourage and select talented girls, and be a model for Daqi women......"

After a speech, the queen mother smiled softly and announced the official start of this year's elite banquet.

After the words fell, Concubine Hui, who was standing on the side, coughed lightly and answered with a smile: "The girls who participated in the elite banquet this year in this palace are very good, and it is really my great luck." For this year's elite banquet, the palace has a proposal, I wonder if it can get the queen's permission? ”

The queen's eyelids twitched, and she looked at Concubine Hui quietly, didn't she have all kinds of proposals in what year?

It would be strange if there were no proposals this year.

"In previous years, it was all four competitions of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and every year, I always felt that there was a lack of freshness."

Concubine Hui smiled unhurriedly, and when she saw everyone in the audience listening, she was proud, "Why don't we have something new this year?" ”

"I wonder if Concubine Hui has any new ideas?"

The queen smiled indifferently.

"Why don't you take your sister and sister to lead a team, and the ladies in the field will each choose a team and compete?"

Hearing this, the queen frowned invisibly: "If you are divided into two teams for the competition, will the result be team-based, or individual-oriented?" ”

"The purpose of the elite banquet is to select talented noblewomen," Hui Guifei said, "Naturally, it is still mainly personal." It's just ......"

"The winning team will be rewarded by the younger sister or the older sister, what does the sister think?"

The queen sneered coldly in her heart, Concubine Hui said this, is it possible that she still expects her to fight with her in front of everyone at this time?

What kind of system does that become?

Concubine Hui doesn't want to be faced, she still needs face after being a country.

"Since my sister has this proposal, you might as well give it a try."

Concubine Hui was overjoyed, and her gorgeous eyes looked at the noble girls in the field: "Since the queen mother agrees with the opinion of the palace, then the palace and the queen mother will each be a team." It is up to the nobles present to choose, and the noblewomen who choose the main palace are asked to stand on the left, and the noblewomen who choose the queen's mother are invited to stand on the right. ”

As soon as he said this, the audience whispered for a while.

Hui Guifei's proposal, to be honest, really embarrassed many people.

Although the Zhenguo Mansion is strong in the court, and the families of many of the nobles in the field have openly and secretly defected to the Zhenguo Mansion, it is really difficult for them to make a clear posture at the elite banquet.

It's not okay not to choose Hui Guifei, but standing on Hui Guifei's side in public, that is to lose the face of the queen's mother.

The queen mother is still the middle palace lady in the end, after the country of Great Qi.

They are very flustered about doing this.

It's a pity that there are no elders accompanying them at the elite banquet, and they can't even find someone to ask for advice.

For a while, the concubines and concubines of each province got together and discussed in a whisper.

Concubine Hui sat on the side of her head, looked at the queen with a smile on her face, and laughed in her heart: I will let you see who is strong and who is weak, fight with me?

The queen hooked her lips shallowly, but she was thinking in her heart that Concubine Hui, who had always been able to hold back, made this scene today, was it purely to save her face, or did she have other plans?

The Zhenguo Mansion is powerful, and there is no doubt that there will be more noble daughters who defect to Concubine Hui.

But if it is spread out on the bright side like this, Concubine Hui is not worried that the emperor will be displeased if he knows?

No matter how strong the Zhenguo Mansion is, it is still far from the point where it can cover the sky with one hand.

Concubine Hui made this move, wasn't it because of the incident that happened in the palace yesterday?

In this way, it is really impulsive to find the field.

Even so, she didn't mind being a little wronged.

After touching the time of a stick of incense, Concubine Hui raised her voice and urged: "Please also make a good choice of noble girls to come out as soon as possible." ”

With such an urging, the nobles had to step forward silently.

Soon there were twelve noble girls standing on Concubine Hui's side, and there were only five on the queen's side.

Seeing this, Concubine Hui covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and smiled: "It seems that you nobles are afraid that they will not dare to join my sister's team because of the prestige of the queen's mother." ”

The queen's face turned slightly blue.

"How can this be good? In the competition of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, at least two people must participate in a competition, and the number of people on the queen's side is far from enough. ”

As soon as the words fell, two more noblewomen in the crowd walked out and silently walked towards the queen's camp.

I saw that the two of them were shy, and bent their knees at the queen mother: "Queen mother, our talents are not good, and I hope that the mother will not blame." ”

The queen smiled gently: "It's okay, just do your best." ”

At this time, Concubine Hui's team was twelve people, and the queen's team was seven people.

In the field, Yinbao couldn't help but reach out and push Fu Yuanyuan: "Girl, isn't it time to save the country and save the people!" ”

When Fu Yuanyuan heard this, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Squinting at the anxious Yinbao, she said in a low voice: "I don't think the queen is in a hurry at all, obviously she doesn't take the competition too seriously." ”

"That's not going to work," Yinbao couldn't help but stomp her feet, "How can the queen mother, as the lord of the first palace, lose?" The storytellers in the teahouse don't talk like that! ”
