The court painters only painted for the emperor and the harem concubines, and other officials and magnates wanted the paintings of the court painters to be rewarded unless they were rewarded, otherwise it was difficult to get the beautiful works of the court painters.

So much so that Yuwen smiled and smiled that there were some knives, guns and sticks in the room, and the only hobby that belonged to women was painting, but unfortunately some painters outside the palace couldn't get into her eyes.

In Yuwen's smiling words, if the court painter's painting is ten points out of ten, then how can she get seven points, and if she wants to buy a seven, eight or lower level of paintings, she is not a great good person!

Shi Yukaoru glanced at Yuwen's wolf-like expression, "I didn't expect you to have this hobby, well, it's not impossible, you don't want to beat me!" ”

She's not welcome to work on this girl!

"Actually, my cousin is really nice!" Yuwen smiled and frowned, and was very discouraged when he saw Shi Yuxun's expression of "It's okay, you keep it", "Okay, okay, I just don't participate!" ”

Shi Yuxun nodded with satisfaction, this Lao Shezi's matchmaking was annoying.

After the last group left the stage, the court painters continued to discuss the selection of the half-ringing square.

A dozen paintings were placed at the forefront, clearly separated from the remaining dozens, and the court painters at the head stepped forward:

"Your Majesty, the Queen, the paintings have been screened, and nineteen paintings have been shortlisted."

"Good!" Helian got up and turned to the sedan chair:

"I wonder if His Royal Highness Qingchen has moved to appreciate the shortlisted works?"

For this cold His Royal Highness Qingchen, Helian Zheng, who has always been extremely deterrent, couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and from beginning to end, he counted the words he said on ten fingers.

"Not necessarily!" His Royal Highness Qingchen looked in the direction of the shortlisted paintings and lightly spit out two words.

Helian is wiping the cold sweat that doesn't exist on his forehead, isn't it true that His Royal Highness Qingchen is just here to make soy sauce!

With a slight salute to the sedan chair, he led the family members to the shortlisted paintings.

After the paintings are screened by the court painters, the princes are asked to confirm that the eunuchs will announce the finalists.

After all, to put it bluntly, this is also a disguised concubine selection competition.

A moment later, the eunuch who had been beside Helian Zheng tore open the duck's throat and announced the finalists.

Sure enough, Shi Yuxun and Yuwen Xiaoxiao were on the list, and Wang Shuyu, the pink-clothed girl at the beginning, and several girls from the previous Shi Yuxun were also on the shortlist.

Among the nineteen places, most of them are the daughters of eunuchs, and the rest are also the daughters of several wealthy merchants in Lingdu.

These finalists are either the second generation of officials or the second generation of wealthy, and they have enough economic conditions to invite well-known gentlemen and professors in various fields to prepare for the top competition.

Therefore, it is okay to want to participate in the top competition, but without material and financial conditions, it is not easy to pass the test and enter the top ten of the three competitions with your own strength.

This is also an era of spelling dads~

After the eunuch was announced, the eunuchs and magnates also moved one after another, walking towards the shortlisted paintings on the right.

After the eunuchs announced their quotas, Helian returned to the palace with the empress, for no other reason than to catch a glimpse of the empty high platform.

Where is there still the shadow of His Royal Highness Qingchen, along with the sedan chair and the four men in Tsing Yi, all disappeared cleanly.

After sitting in danger for a day, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time regretted that His Royal Highness Qingchen did not look down on the people of his Nanling, so he immediately led the queen concubines back to the palace to rest.
