Chapter 24: Heartbeat

The ladies whispered.

Princess Yueyao said angrily: "Xiao Xiaoyu, you don't want to spew blood!" ”

"I'm not talking nonsense, let people know at a glance that my three arrows have obviously been handled, and it is not easy to throw them top-heavy."

Princess Yueyao felt that she had lost face by being exposed in public like this, and immediately wanted to rush over to beat Xiao Xi.

Although Xiao Xixi has no martial arts, it is not difficult to avoid the attack of a little girl.

I secretly thought that this princess was too brainless, if she hadn't been born as a princess, I was afraid that she would have been fooled a long time ago.

"Alright."

A gentle female voice came, and Princess Yueyao stopped moving.

Everyone looked over, and then saluted: "Guifei Niangniang." ”

The person who came was Xiao Guifei.

Seeing Concubine Xiao, Xiao Xixi raised her chin towards Princess Yueyao.

Her backer is here!

"Xiao Yu, don't be rude."

Xiao Xixi immediately shrank beside Concubine Xiao obediently.

"Yueyao, the queen is looking for you."

Princess Yueyao reluctantly followed Concubine Xiao away.

Xiao Xixi was happy in her heart, although Xiao Guifei reprimanded her on the surface, but after all, she was the cousin of the original owner.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the pitching competition. 】

Xiao Xixi waited for two seconds, and found that there was no more, so she couldn't help asking, "Is there no reward?" ”

[It's not a mission just posted, so there's no reward for success.] 】

"I suspect you're cheating on me, why do you want to say it if it's not a mission? Then I'll ignore your reminder in the future. ”

The system also seemed to be worried about Xiao Xi's mess, and hurriedly explained.

[The small department has just added to the host, and the reward has been deducted for the time being. 】

Xiao Xixi couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, as long as you are crooked, then I will lie flat.

Anyway, Princess Yueyao, who started the lead, was not there, and others didn't dare to provoke her.

Even Lu Jiaojiao, who was still arrogant just now, has no one to support her at this time, and her words are no longer so sharp.

"Miss Xiao Er wants to participate in the calligraphy and painting competition?"

Xiao Xixi's eyes fell on Lu Jiaojiao, her appearance was ordinary, her stature was short, and she couldn't wait to write her face full of calculations, and her face was even more fierce than the original owner.

Of course, she couldn't say that the original owner's face was bad, after all, it was exactly the same as what she looked like before she wore the book.

"I won't participate," Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Xiao Xiaorou who was eager to write his thoughts on his face, Xiao Xi said regretfully, "Xiaorou, you go and try it." ”

Xiao Xiaorou, who was silent, suddenly raised her head, looked at Xiao Xixi in surprise, and nodded slightly.

The painting and calligraphy competition, as the name suggests, is a comparison of calligraphy and painting.

Xiao Xiaorou has worked hard in this area for many years, or she gave up martial arts since she was a child and chose a different path from her sisters in the family.

Xiao Xixi watched from the sidelines.

Xiao Xiaorou really wrote a beautiful hairpin flower, and the flower and bird paintings she drew were also very good.

The ladies nodded their heads in praise again and again, and Xiao Xiaorou put all the joy on her face.

However, the euphoria did not last long.

As soon as Fu Qingjiao's calligraphy and painting came out, everyone was amazed.

"I didn't expect Miss Fu to be not only good at piano and chess, but also calligraphy and painting!"

"That's because there was no such opportunity before, and Miss Fu didn't have the opportunity to show it."

Fu Qingjiao had a faint smile on her face, for her, she was the best candidate for Princess Yan, she didn't understand why she had already married King Yan, and she had to hold such a palace banquet to choose a concubine for King Yan.

Fu Qingjiao's mother died early, the Fu family was not the housewife, no one helped to inquire, and she couldn't ask the eldest princess in person.

So in today's competition, she wants to make herself stand out in everything, and she showed herself in the archery and pot throwing competitions just now.

The ladies were chattering, and the voice of the chamberlain came.

"The emperor has arrivedβ€”"

The ladies hurriedly bowed down to salute.

"Let's be flat," Emperor Honghui laughed loudly, "but it's all over?" ”

The lady in charge of the affairs hurriedly replied, "Yes." ”

Emperor Honghui's gaze swept over the nobles, and when he landed on Fu Qingjiao, he couldn't help but jump in his heart.

When the housekeeper saw Emperor Honghui looking at Fu Qingjiao, she thought that he was interested in her calligraphy and painting, so she said: "Miss Fu's calligraphy and painting are really a must, the emperor wants to take a closer look?" ”

Only then did Emperor Honghui realize that he was out of proportion in looking at Fu Qingjiao like this, so he looked at the painting on the desk according to the meaning of the housekeeper.

"Take a look."

The housekeeper took the calligraphy and painting with both hands and respectfully handed them to the attendant.

The chamberlain raised it in front of Emperor Honghui to watch.

Emperor Honghui said that he was looking at the painting, but he was reminiscing about this shocking glimpse.

Unexpectedly, the young lady of Fu Shoufu's family was born so beautiful and moving now.

No wonder it can be called the first beauty in the capital.

Emperor Honghui's mind moved slightly.

He said, "Reward! ”

Fu Qingjiao didn't see the deep meaning in Emperor Honghui's eyes, and only thanked him happily.

Emperor Honghui looked at her with a smile and said to the palace people, "Let's open the table." ”

During the banquet, Emperor Honghui's gaze stayed on Fu Qingjiao.

The queen didn't say much, but she noticed.

At the end of the banquet, the nobles left the palace, and Emperor Honghui and the queen discussed the choice of concubine.

The eldest princess Yongzhao was supposed to come to the banquet, but she couldn't come because she had to deal with some things.

So now the decision is in the hands of Emperor Honghui.

The queen tried to propose: "The eldest princess has already set a marriage for King Yan and Miss Fu, so why don't you choose the candidate for Princess Yan to Miss Fu?" ”

Thinking of that shocking glance, Emperor Honghui's heart moved slightly, and he remembered that Leng Mo Ran had said that he would quit his marriage with Miss Fu......

"Mo'er told me that he doesn't count his family affairs with Miss Fu, and he plans to withdraw from his family."

The queen asked, "Then who does the emperor think is suitable?" ”

"Miss Xiao Er cured Mo'er's eyes, and she has a deep love for Mo'er, so it's better to just be her."

The queen nodded: "What about King Wei?" ”

Speaking of this younger brother, Emperor Honghui sighed: "He has been stubborn since he was a child, so he has to choose a tougher one, and it is good to look at Miss Lu San." ”

……

Regarding Emperor Honghui's decision, the nobles who were leaving the palace did not know.

Xiao Xixi and Xiao Xiaorou sisters walked towards the outside of the palace.

Xiao Xiaorou's mind has been turning rapidly.

The palace banquet has passed, and King Yan doesn't dare to think about it, but King Wei-

During the banquet, King Wei's eyes have been looking at her, perhaps, she can try.

It's just how is she going to get close to King Wei?

If she hadn't been brought by her second sister, she wouldn't even have the opportunity to participate in this kind of banquet in the future.

Can't wait any longer.

"Second sisterβ€”"

Xiao Xixi saw Xiao Xiaorou stop and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"My earrings seem to have fallen in the Imperial Garden."

Xiao Xixi instantly understood that this was trying to do something.

She didn't plan to stop her, as long as she didn't come to harm her, anything else.

But she was still polite: "I'll go back with you to find it, right?" ”

Xiao Xiaorou's eyes flashed with panic: "No need, second sister go back first, I don't know how long I will have to look for it." ”

Xiao Xixi glanced at her and nodded: "Then I will arrange a carriage to wait for you at the gate of the palace." ”

Seeing Xiao Xixi turn around and leave, Xiao Xiaorou breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the nobles were all walking out, and she was the only one who walked back quickly in the opposite direction.

Her steps grew faster and faster, faster and faster.

She wants to find King Wei, this is her only chance, and if she misses this one, she doesn't know how long she will have to wait.

As if favored by God, Xiao Xiaorou didn't walk long before she saw King Wei.

Wei Dynasty glanced behind her, and when she didn't see Xiao Xixi, she asked, "Where is Miss Xiao San going?" ”

Xiao Xiaorou bit her delicate lip, her heart fluttered wildly, and she mustered up the courage to say, "I have something to say to the prince." ”

King Wei lingers in the land of fireworks and willow alleys all the year round, and has seen countless women, looking at Xiao Xiaorou's appearance, he knows that she wants to recommend herself to the pillow.

And his principle is, what is sent to the door in vain, don't be in vain.

"Okay." King Wei said with a smile.
