The post-election ceremony is initially scheduled for one month. Within this month, all the beauties need to compete in a series of specialties such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, dance music and musical instruments, female celebrity chefs, etc., in order to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages. Then be taught the rules and etiquette of the palace to achieve perfect standards. The survival of the fittest is repeated, and the emperor personally decides who will be the queen. There is only one queen, and if there is a favorite among the other beauties, the emperor can be retained, and the rest will be sent out of the palace.

On the first day of the four arts competition attended by An Ronghua and Xia Huaijin, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are the most basic talents to have.

The cross corridor of the Splendid Palace, the beauties sit in four rows, a stick of incense is limited, and they create a poem and painting.

An Ronghua and Xia Huaijin parted ways from the center and inspected the two roads. Xia Huaijin walked to Qin Sujin's table, although he was Qin Sujin's brother-in-law, in fact, Xia Huaijin only knew that there was someone but did not know him.

Xia Huaijin was only attracted by Qin Sujin's painting brushes, her slender jade hands, swaying ink into mountains, splashing ink into water, dotting ink into stones, the brushing of the pen tip outlined the picture of trees, and the painting process of flowing clouds and rivers was fascinating.

Qin Sujin devoted himself to painting and never told Xia Huaijin that he also looked at the name tag on the desk and realized that she was Qin Ke's niece Qin Sujin.

Xia Huaijin continued to patrol forward, discussing painting skills, and no one was better than him.

On the other side, An Ronghua didn't see a stunning painting, so he had to shake his head and sigh. When An Ronghua looked up into the distance, he saw another road where no one was patrolling, but he saw that someone seemed to have a small movement, so he walked over quickly.

Xie Jinshu is not good at calligraphy and painting, but she painted at will, and when she saw that the time was almost up, and no one was paying attention, she carefully pulled out a scroll painting that had already been prepared from her wide sleeve, intending to pretend to be her own creation.

With a "snap", a ring ruler pressed Xie Jinshu's scroll, and she looked up in surprise, only to see An Ronghua's complicated smile.

"What are you doing?"

"I, I'm naturally painting like everyone else!" Xie Jinshu panicked.

"Then what is this?" An Ronghua held up the scroll with a ring ruler.

Xie Jinshu's eyes were confused, but he still looked at An Ronghua and said in a threatening tone: "I am Xie Jinshu, the daughter of the general......"

"Oh, it turns out that you are the eldest lady of the Xie family. An Ronghua pretended to suddenly realize, "The Queen Mother is your aunt, the emperor is your cousin, and the Marquis of An Guo is your grandfather, I'm not wrong, right?"

Xie Jinshu thought that he had succeeded in the battle, so he even rose in arrogance. The beauties on both sides also began to think about it.

"Sure enough, where the family background and status are, you can ignore the rules. ”

"Shut up!" An Ronghua ordered, Xie Jinshu completely thought that she was overwhelmed by her background, "Even if you don't see anything, I don't blame you." ”

An Ronghua suppressed the anger in his heart and took the scroll from the ring ruler, Xie Jinshu proudly reached out to take it, but An Ronghua pinched it into a paper ball and smashed it on the ground in front of everyone, which was equivalent to giving Xie Jinshu a hard slap.

"Who is not a relative of the emperor and a descendant of important ministers, but I am entrusted by the Queen Mother to manage the post-election affairs, and I must be treated equally, fair and just. An Ronghua is powerful but also has a bit of compassion, "Let's remember your first offense, don't punish you, if you commit it again, you will not be forgiven!"

"If I get you out too early, my mother, who thinks you are strong in everything, will not give up and spare you. "What An Ronghua thinks in his heart.

An Ronghua stepped on the paper ball and left, Xie Jinshu vomited a stomach, but he couldn't diverge.

The two arts of calligraphy and painting, which were personally tasted by the talented painters in the palace, Qin Sujin's work "Picturesque Rivers and Mountains" stood out and was praised by many people, even An Ronghua agreed.

"This Qin Sujin won the first battle, the prince must be very happy for this little niece, right?" An Ronghua asked quietly.

"The king didn't. Xia Huaijin denied it.

"But I saw that the prince had been stuck in front of her for a long time, why?" An Ronghua asked again.

Seeing that her painting skills were really exquisite, the king unconsciously took a few more looks. Xia Huaijin told the truth.

An Ronghua believed that Xia Huaijin was not lying to herself, but she didn't know if Qin Ke would blow the wind in Xia Huaijin's ears and say good things for her niece.

"It's time for this king to ask you, since you caught General Xie's daughter behaving fraudably, why did you let it go privately?" Xia Huaijin asked seriously.

An Ronghua didn't expect the feng shui to turn so fast, it was difficult to say for a while.

"I, because ......"

"Ben* you are not forced by power, there must be a reason for you. Xia Huaijin was full of trust in his words, turned around and walked along the corridor.

An Ronghua was flattered, but relieved.

"Why do you believe me?" An Ronghua ran up.

"Because, the Queen Mother believes in you. Xia Huaijin said sincerely.

An Ronghua stopped, neither is Yue, nor is he unhappy.

"Forget it, believe in me because of me, and forgive you. ”

Qin Sujin won the jackpot, and naturally many beauties approached her in the past.

"The first talented woman in the imperial capital really deserves her name, and your "Picturesque Landscapes" is simply amazing. Tao Jing exclaimed.

"I am the most fond of calligraphy and painting, and if you sisters practice diligently, you will be able to surpass me. "Qin Sujin is very humble.

"It's nothing remarkable, and those court painters have no more than that's the vision. Xie Jinshu came from outside.

"The daughter of our general, the niece of the Queen Mother, and the emperor's cousin are in the limelight today. Tao Jing scoffed.

Xie Jinshu was ridiculed by the whole family, and while he was angry, he also found a good reason to suppress Qin Sujin.

"You only know that I am the daughter of the general, the niece of the Queen Mother, but I don't know that someone is an uncle, but I am the prince of Jin who presided over the post-election ceremony. "Xie Jinshu is obviously targeting Qin Sujin.

"Prince Jin was appointed by the Empress Dowager and appointed by the emperor's personal decree, if you dare to say that he is suspected of favoritism, but you can question the vision of the Empress Dowager and the emperor?" Qin Sujin refuted.

Xie Jinshu is more than willful, and he lacks foresight, but he can't match Qin Sujin's calm and composed.

Fuqin has always been a must-learn art for all women, if it is boring to listen to one person play, An Ronghua has a good idea.

When dinner was approaching, An Ronghua secretly ordered to go down and ordered someone to send her food to Xia Huaijin together, and he went elsewhere first.

"Lord Wang, tomorrow's two arts of piano and chess, I don't know what you think?" An Ronghua obviously had something to say.

"If you have any ideas, please tell me about them. Xia Huaijin saw what she meant.

"I think so, there are so many beauties, it takes time to listen to them play the piano one by one, but if you let the palace luthier assist as the examiner, you can't rule out the suspicion of bribery in advance. Moreover, the rules of the piano test are stiff, and any beauties can practice a piece of music by themselves, which is a must, so they can't really understand their piano skills. An Ronghua dictated a bunch of disadvantages in an orderly manner, and got to the point, "So I came up with a novel rule that would not only save time, but also test their real piano skills, and be fun." The rule is a group of four beauties, and then arrange a person with excellent piano skills, the main piano plays, the four beauties must follow its tune, the main piano can change the tune at will, if there is a stop or wrong play of the beauties, it is a clumsy piano skill, only good and not leaky, proficient in a hundred songs, can stand out. ”

"Your unexpected idea is new, interesting, and feasible. Xia Huaijin agreed.

"Then you just said yes. Ahn Yonghua's excitement is not just the joy of having his idea recognized.

"But the one who presides over the harp......"

"Naturally, it is the prince who is in charge!" An Ronghua was full of interest.

"No, I can't. Xia Huaijin immediately vetoed.

"Why not?"

"The king said that he would no longer play the harp. Xia Huaijin was resolute.

"But you stroked the piano in the palace that night, and broke the strings, I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, you don't want to deny it!" An Ronghua was aggressive.

"That's because you sent the harp to this royal house without permission. Xia Huaijin tried to defend himself.

"It's you who can play the piano, what else can you say!" An Ronghua was simply overbearing.

"If this new law is not established, the palace luthiers can be used as the main piano to control the rhythm. ”

"How can those piano masters in the palace have your superb piano skills!" An Ronghua said, déjà vu.

"Anyway, this king won't play the harp anymore, so you'll stop it. Xia Huaijin hesitated rather than hesitated, and bluntly refused.

However, An Ronghua is not a person who gives up easily, during the time she was a Gu girl, she even faded away from the shell of the queen mother and practiced new skills.

"The Queen Mother, you don't know from afar, you trust the prince so much that you entrust him with all the power to do the big things after the election, but the prince is not willing to contribute to you even a little sacrifice, but just sit there and play the piano, he is reluctant to agree, so that those imaginary beauties can get through the trick and become your unique daughter-in-law!" An Ronghua is playing exaggerated acting skills all over his body, "This is understandable, he is choosing a daughter-in-law for you and not for himself, so he naturally doesn't want to trouble himself!"

"Don't talk about it. Xia Huaijin reminded.

"Queen Mother, you are looking at the wrong person!" An Ronghua was even more exaggerated.

"Shut up!" Xia Huaijin seemed to be fierce.

An Ronghua was out of control, and pounced directly on Xia Huaijin, saying, "You dare to murder me!"

Xia Huaijin had a helpless expression, pressed An Ronghua's shoulder and twisted her body, only to see the eunuchs and palace maids delivering food outside the door, bowing their heads one by one and saying nothing.

An Ronghua was suddenly embarrassed, she had already lost face in front of Xia Huaijin, but in front of other palace people, she still cared about her image as the queen mother.

An Ronghua immediately stood upright, and all the true and false emotions in his eyes dissipated.

"Why don't you remind me. An Ronghua gritted his teeth.

"The minions have come to deliver food. The palace people were worried.

"Come in, let go out!" An Ronghua commanded with a word.

After all the minions left, An Ronghua Fang breathed a sigh of relief and asked Xia Huaijin, "I must have been embarrassed just now, right?"

"There is no prestige. Xia Huaijin said in one sentence.

"It's all your fault, you have to compensate me for the loss of face. An Ronghua said with a hundred thousand righteous words.

"How do you want this king to compensate?" Xia Huaijin asked.

"It's very simple, two words, Fuqin!" An Ronghua has made up his mind.
