"Liangdi, let's forget it." Ruxi said.

After Qin Zhao saw his painting, he couldn't bear to look at it directly.

She really can't paint, even if she doesn't sleep or work hard, she can't make much progress. So the best way is to avoid your own shortcomings.

But if you really want to paint, can you be surprised and win Wu Xirou?

She was very, very eager to avenge the humiliation of the year.

"Don't study anymore, let me think about it." After Qin Zhao finished speaking, he walked out of the study.

She had learned sand painting, and she might be able to use it in a hurry, which seemed to be the only way to solve the problem.

Although she didn't know if there would really be a talent competition in the future, she felt that it was always good to be prepared, so she confessed to Baoyu like this.

Baoyu didn't know why his master had such an explanation, but he also tried his best to do everything Liangdi wanted.

Zhao Mansion.

Wu Xiyu heard that Wu Xirou was going to enter the palace to participate in the party prepared by Concubine Shu, and she was a little jealous.

"Does the lady know that my sister will also attend the party?" Wu Xiyu asked deliberately.

Concubine Shu has never liked Aunt Guifei, even so, how could she allow Wu Xirou to participate in such a party. Everyone should understand that this gathering is just a gathering of all the women of the right age to warm up for the crown prince's choice of concubines.

Wu Xirou is her sister, Concubine Shu has no reason not to know, she even let Wu Xirou enter the palace, she really can't understand what Concubine Shu is thinking.

"This time, Aunt Guifei didn't interfere in this matter, since Concubine Shuniang asked my grandmother to take me into the palace, she naturally knows my identity." Wu Xirou's eyes flashed slightly.

Qin Shuang also told her before that she had received an invitation from Concubine Shu, and she was still thinking about how she could enter the palace together, but she didn't want news to come from the palace and let her enter the palace with the Qi family.

This lady is really a wonderful person.

Wu Xiyu's face changed slightly: "Is it Concubine Niangniang who asked her grandmother to take you into the palace?" ”

"Exactly." Wu Xirou smiled slightly: "Concubine Shu should know my identity, but she still asked me to enter the palace, I think she is also a broad-minded person." ”

Wu Xiyu scoffed.

Although she has dealt with Concubine Shu few times, Concubine Shu doesn't look like a broad-minded person no matter how she looks at it.

"Then sister, just behave well, if my sister can become the crown princess, I, who is a sister, will also be happy for my sister." Wu Xi's language is insincere.

Of course, Wu Xirou heard that Wu Xiyu's words were insincere, but she didn't break it.

This sister of hers boasts of her beauty, and the concubine aunt has always only liked Wu Xiyu, and treats Wu Xiyu as the crown princess in training. It's a pity that Wu Xiyu was not angry, and in the end she only became a good woman, and finally "died".

The hope of recovering the Wu family fell on her head.

She will never repeat the mistakes of Wu Xiyu.

Wu Xiyu and Wu Xirou seem to be very harmonious on the surface, but in fact, they each have ghosts, and neither of them looks down on each other.

On the other hand, Qin Shuang, who was in Qin's house, also received that Wu Xirou was also on the invitation list of Concubine Shu on the evening of the ninth day of the first month.

At first, she thought she had heard something, "Are you sure your mother heard me right?" ”

How could Wu Xirou also be on the list of invitees?

Didn't you say that Concubine Shu didn't like Concubine Wu? Wu Xirou is a member of the Wu family and the niece of Wu Guifei, how could Concubine Shu know that Wu Xirou's identity is special, and let Wu Xirou enter the palace?

This time, Concubine Shu selected so many famous ladies to enter the palace to get together, which is nothing more than to have a general impression or understanding of the concubines who participated in the princess selection test before officially selecting the princess.

Wu Xirou can also enter the palace, which shows that Concubine Shu does not shy away from Wu Xirou's identity as the lady of the Wu family.

"You regard Wu Xirou as a friend, but she is plotting behind her back to become the crown princess, now you have to be clear, if she also participates in the princess selection test, she will be your opponent." Xu reminded.

She was afraid that Shuang'er was still facing Wu Xirou.

Although Wu Xirou was close to the Qin family when she was in Yongzhou, as long as she stood in the way of Shuang'er, she had to get rid of this competitor without mercy.

"I know." Qin Shuang took a while before replying.

She and Wu Xirou are both well-known talented women in Yongzhou, and the two have a good reputation in Yongzhou, but in terms of background, she is definitely not as good as Wu Xirou.

It's just that she now has the support of Princess Ronghui, and I heard that Princess Ronghui has a good relationship with Concubine Shu, maybe Princess Ronghui can help her say a few words in front of Concubine Shu.

As for the rest, it is up to her to fight and grab it.

If Wu Xirou gets in her way, she will definitely not be merciful.

Xu talked to Qin Shuang for a long time this night, and Qin Shuang wrote down everything that should be remembered. Even with Wu Xirou, a strong opponent, she is not afraid.

On the tenth day of the new year, Qin Shuang got up early in the morning, and then entered the palace early under the leadership of Princess Ronghui.

Of course, there were many people who entered the palace earlier than her, but everyone handed over the sign at the fixed palace gate and waited for the instructions of the concubine, and she was familiar with the palace because she had the eldest princess Ronghui to lead the way.

Naturally, other people also saw this scene, and they were speculating about whose famous daughter this was, and it was actually brought into the palace by Princess Ronghui herself.

Later, when it was learned that Qin Shuang was the daughter of Shang Jia, everyone was silent at this time.

Which of them is not from a rich family? And most of them are nobles in the capital, and now they will be pressed by Qin Shuang, the daughter of a businessman, which makes people feel angry.

In fact, Wu Xirou is also among these people.

Of course, she saw the picture of Qin Shuang entering the palace in a high-profile manner, but she felt that it might not be a good thing to be too high-profile and public. Since it is the selection of the crown princess, it is not only the talent, but also the character and behavior.

There are many eyes and ears in the palace, maybe from the moment they stand in front of the palace gate, someone will stare at their every move, and it is always a good thing to be low-key.

She has always had an idea, and she is even more calm and relaxed at the moment, quietly waiting for the summons of the nobles in the palace.

Qin Zhao also got up early today, and she had just finished washing, and Baoyu came in and told her about the nobles waiting outside the palace.

Qin Zhaowan smiled: "Didn't you say that all the women wanted to enter the palace to attend the party, how did they become noblewomen?" ”

Seeing that Qin Zhao was still in the mood to joke, Baoyu couldn't help but be a little curious: "Isn't Liangdi worried?" ”

"What is there to worry about. As long as it's not Qin Shuang or Wu Xirou as the crown princess, I don't think other women are a problem. The smile on Qin Zhao's face faded: "Those two women want to be the crown princess?" I'm going to do sabotage, but I'm afraid I can't! ”

"Isn't Liangdi going to choose the crown princess?" Baozhu heard the crux of the problem.

"I used to think so, but now I think that anyone can be the crown princess, but it can't be these two women. I'm already very satisfied. Qin Zhao disagreed.

She can't stop Xiao Ce from marrying a wife, anyway, this matter must be settled, it is better to settle the dust as soon as possible.
