Chapter 703: Recruiting Relatives (3)

Remember [Lewen] for a second, a person who does not rely on his appearance

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Tianci got what he wantedβ€”a candidate credential.

The quota of 300 people for the princess to recruit relatives has been decided, even if Xiao Tianci is the third prince of Dongwan Kingdom, if he wants to participate, he must follow the rules, not to mention that he doesn't want to reveal his identity at the beginning.

The candidate voucher is the proof of the 300 shortlisted candidates, a bamboo slip three inches long and one inch wide. The order is engraved on it, and on the obverse are number one, number two, number three...... The back is engraved with a delicate pattern, and the word 'voucher' is written in the middle.

"Third Prince......" This is the entourage's name for Xiao Tianci to conceal his identity when he went out, and he said flatteringly: "This certificate was bought by a subordinate from a Xiucai, two hundred taels of silver!" He began to ask for 500 taels, but his subordinates gave him a good beating, and he sold it for 200 taels. ”

Xiao Tianci doesn't care who he buys it from, as long as he achieves his goal. Looking at the voucher number in his hand, twenty-seven, he nodded: "Well, it's good, if this son succeeds, I will reward you heavily." ”

"Thank you, Third Prince." The attendant was busy.

Soon, the auspicious time had arrived, and with the melodious and low voice of Hong Zhong coming from the three-story red building, it reverberated endlessly, and the audience was silent. A celebrant eunuch dragged out his voice and said, "The auspicious time has arrived, and the competition for recruiting relatives has officially begunβ€”β€”"

Everyone's attention is on the high platform, this is an important time to see the real chapter, who has any talents, all to show today, if you don't have a little confidence, I'm afraid I don't dare to come.

Wen Changde, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was personally ordered by His Majesty to preside over this recruitment competition, and he was naturally under a lot of pressure.

Standing on the high platform, he was dressed in an official uniform, majestic and majestic, and read out the rules and items of this competition: "This recruitment is intended to select a horse for the eldest princess, in line with the principles of openness, fairness and justice, and is divided into three schedules. Today's first assessment, the test is the candidate's connotation, demeanor, appearance, bearing, etc., by His Majesty and Niangniang and others in person, the princess finally decides. Are you ready? ”

But all the candidates who want to marry the princess have almost become cross-eyed in the back constituency one by one, and they will not give in to each other, if they don't care about their identities and occasions, they are afraid that they will already be in a mess.

Before the competition, no one knew how to recruit relatives, but everyone naturally guessed and inquired. Choosing a son-in-law is the same as choosing a horse, in fact, there are only a few conditions, the key is to see whether the princess herself looks at it or not. Now when they heard the content of the assessment, everyone hurriedly sorted out their appearance, hoping to leave the best impression on the princess.

Wen Changde, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, called out the order of the candidates, and the top five candidates walked up one by one.

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, staring directly at these five people.

Five young men, of different sizes, tall, short, fat and thin. But whether it is dressed or dressed, it is obvious that some people have put a lot of thought into it, and some people are holding folding fans and looking personable. Some people hung jade pendants on their waists, looking very graceful, and some people wore jade crowns and dark robes, and someone in the crowd called out: "Look, Lord Chu Wang!" ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone's eyes were on the candidate in the dark robe, and when they saw it, they burst into laughter.

Where is the king of Chu?

It's just a candidate who imitates the clothes of Nalan Ye, the king of Chu, seven feet tall is not short, but that face is completely different. With cold eyes and a high nose, thin lips and pursed lips, he is obviously trying his best to imitate the charm of Nalan Ye, but it looks like it is nondescript, just like Dong Shi's imitation, but it is the opposite effect.

"Haha, look at that number five! Isn't this dress clearly showing the Lord of Chu, hahahaha...... This person is so shameless, Lord Chu can also learn casually? Don't look at what you look like! ”

Someone immediately looked at the candidate booklet in his hand and shouted loudly: "Isn't this Liu Yu, the son of Boss Liu of Wenxuan Pavilion?" Unexpectedly, he also ran for the election, obviously he is determined to win the princess! ”

As we all know, it is an open secret that the third princess Nangong Wan'er favored Nalan Ye, the king of Chu. It's just that the King of Chu finally married Luo Qingluan, the princess of Chu, and the two have a deep relationship, and the couple have a deep relationship, which is not something that outsiders can shake at all. Even if she is a princess, she can only end up with the result of 'the goddess has a heart, and the king has no dreams'.

But obviously, the No. 5 candidate named Liu Yu took a fancy to this, thinking that the third princess liked the king of Chu, so he dressed up as the king of Chu, hoping to get a different look from the princess. Otherwise, with his status as the son of a bookstore owner, it is simply impossible to stand out from the crowd of candidates.

With the credit of silver, Xiao Tianci also successfully squeezed into the rear constituency.

Sitting in the seat, he completely replaced the talent named Huang Guan, with a sneer on his face, looking at the five opponents on the stage with disdain. With such a good look, he is not even worthy of being an opponent for him, he stared at Nangong Wan'er on the high platform a few times, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that people were more fancy, noble and lovely, and he couldn't help but think about it.

"This idiot wants to pretend to be the king of Chu, and he doesn't pee to take care of himself, is he worthy?"

Xiao Tianci said coldly: "The princess is not blind, for this kind of opportunistic and shameless person, I am afraid that the first one will be eliminated." ”

As for the other four, he didn't take a few more looks, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

"In the first round, no one was selected."

Sure enough, soon, Wen Changde, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, announced the results, and immediately burst into amazement and laughter. In front of everyone's eyes, the five candidates all lost in the first round, their faces were colorless, and they were about to end up in disgrace, but they heard Wen Changde say in a deep voice: "No. 5 Liu Yu, stop." ”

Everyone was stunned, and then they heard him say with a straight face: "The princess has an order, Liu Yu openly pretended to be the king of Chu, and with ill intentions, he immediately canceled the qualification for the competition and dragged it down to replay the 20th board." ”

What, when everyone heard it, the audience was in an uproar.

Before Liu Yu, the candidate in the dark robe, could react, he had already been rushed up and dragged down by the two forbidden soldiers on duty. begging for mercy was miserable, and the hearts of the people who were stimulated trembled, it turned out that it was still dangerous to participate in the recruitment of relatives, maybe it angered the princess, and the end was twenty boards, beaten to death!

"Well deserved!" Xiao Tianci tugged at the corners of his lips.

Although he didn't know that Nangong Wan'er liked Nalan Ye, the name of the King of Chu was like thunder, and even his father was deeply afraid of it. There are idiots who dare to dress up as Nalan Ye, trying to get the favor of the princess, it's like a brain in water and looking for death!

What is there to be proud of as an imposter, isn't this a clear slap in the face of the princess?

After a burst of wailing and screaming, the faces of everyone in the rear constituency were already a little more solemn, knowing that this selection was not so simple. But there are almost no people who want to quit, after all, wanting to marry the princess is the result of their careful consideration. Soon, the second group of five candidates came on the field again, and for a moment, this time it turned out to be two people, seven and nine.

Xiao Tianci's gaze fell on No. 7, and his brows furrowed.

This man actually looks like a dog, and he is obviously a fierce enemy!

Hurriedly flipped through the booklet in his hand and counted to the seventh number, Xiao Tianci was unhappy, and a pressure hit: "Wang Xiuhan, now twenty-one, or last year's palace test champion?" Hehe, this identity ......"

Well, it is the first opponent he has encountered, the maiden nephew of the Queen Mother of Western Chu, although he is not as good as the three princes of Dongwan Kingdom, but the opponent's home status can be regarded as a tie with him. And this Wang Xiuhan also looks white and clean, with a little white face, don't be fascinated by his appearance.

Touching his face, Xiao Tianci had a little more confidence, and he was not bad!

Secretly remembering Wang Xiuhan's name in his heart, Xiao Tianci remained silent, waiting for his number to be called.

In the crowd below, Xiao Yuqi's face was not good, and his mood was a little heavy.

I don't know when, he didn't know when the third brother Xiao Tianci was separated, now there are many onlookers, finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, how can it be so simple? Two entourages have been sent to find it, for fear that Xiao Tian will give it in case, but Xiao Yuqi has no hope at all. His third brother has always loved to join in the fun, and he doesn't know where this will go.

At this moment, the next round began on the stage: "The sixth group, five candidates on stage!" ”

Where do you still have the heart to watch the princess choose a son-in-law, Xiao Yuqi just wants to find Xiao Tianci quickly, who knows that he glanced at it inadvertently, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was stunned on the spot.

The man on stage...... Isn't it Xiao Tianci who he can't find? He actually ran up to recruit relatives?

What the hell is going on?

Xiao Yuqi looked at Xiao Tianci on the stage with a cold face, and made it clear that running for election was not a joke. After questioning a few of his entourage, he stood with his hands in his hands, exuding a coercion all over his body. The people around him didn't know why, they just felt cold all over their bodies, and they unconsciously stayed away, and a blank space formed around Xiao Yuqi.

"Say!"

Leng Sensen's words read out from Xiao Yuqi's thin lips: "What the hell is going on, why...... Will the third prince be on stage? Who instigated it? He swept his gaze, like a sharp blade, and several of his attendants shuddered.

The heart is bitter, they have been following His Royal Highness the Prince, who knows when the third prince ran away, and what kind of recruitment of the three princesses of Xichu was going to participate! They don't know what's going on!

At this time, someone cautiously glanced at Xiao Yuqi and said in a low voice: "Big, eldest son, subordinates...... The subordinates heard from the third prince that they were going to participate in the selection of the third princess......"

"Did he go on his own?!"

Xiao Yuqi said angrily: "You don't stop it, if something happens to the third son, you can take it?" ”

The man hurriedly said: "The eldest prince, there is no way for his subordinates, the third prince said, if he is chosen by the princess of Western Chu, the third prince will be the master of the Western Chu Kingdom." In this way, even if the third prince does not ask the princess of Chu, the princess of Chu will take the initiative to treat the third prince, because ...... Because for the sake of the three princesses......"

When Xiao Yuqi heard this, he laughed and laughed.

So that's the reason?!

He, the third brother, actually had this idea because he didn't want to ask Luo Qingluan for treatment, or because he couldn't ask for it. As long as he becomes the master of Xichu, Emperor Xichu will not let him have a hidden illness for the lifelong happiness of the third princess.

In this way, it is bound to let Princess Chu come to help the third brother heal!

"Actually...... He actually ......" Xiao Yuqi's anger suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

He also thought about asking Xiao Tianci to go to the Chu Palace's mansion to meet the princess of Chu and the king of Chu first, with a sincere attitude, and then he talked to the side to see if he could invite the princess of Chu to help. But now that it's like this, it seems that all the previous plans have been messed up.
