Chapter 222

Du Yunhan and Han Mingyi look at Du Xiaoli and don't know what benefits father-in-law Shan says.

Du Xiaoli shrugged and said, "the emperor promised me a condition if I won, as long as it wasn't too much."

Promise her a condition, which is much better than giving money directly. As long as the requirements are not excessive, the content can be very broad!

It seems that Han Mingze still knows the truth that "if you want a horse to run, you must feed the horse".

"It's hard for you to let father-in-law Shan go so late." Du Xiaoli took a ingot of silver, stuffed it into father-in-law Shan's hand and said.

Father-in-law Shan took the silver and said, "Miss Du, your strength is well known. You have no way back when this decree is issued. You might as well look forward and win the game and get a bonus! You are ready for tomorrow's game. I have to go back and reply to the emperor, so I won't disturb you."

Father-in-law Shan said that, saluted Han Mingyi and them, turned and left. The two fathers-in-law hurriedly followed. Han Mingyi winked at lenger, and lenger followed out.

"Grandpa Shan, it's so late that I'll take you back."

"Then trouble the cold second bodyguard."

After father-in-law Shan and them left, Du Xiaoli sat down on the stool and threw the imperial edict on the table. Father Shan is right. The imperial edict has been given to her. She has to go if she doesn't go. Instead of perfunctory, it's better to have a good game and win the thousand liang of gold and the emperor's promise!

"There is no saying of open cities in the ancient peace talks. If we can open a city on the border of Beiyuan state, it will be of great benefit to Fengming state," Han Mingyi said. "The emperor will certainly not give up this opportunity if he can let the other party open a city without spending troops."

"I know," said Du Xiaoli. In the previous society, she also knew about the opening of trade ports at the beginning. She could also analyze the current national conditions, so she could understand Han Mingze's ideas. "Now we have to play well and get the emperor's promise, otherwise white will be used. By the way, what's the origin of the Zhen guohou?"

"Zhao Zhen? A former little prince. The royal family of Beiyuan kingdom was in turmoil, the emperor died suddenly, and Beiyuan kingdom was in chaos. It was even worse when he was fighting with us. When he was so embarrassed, he invited those who started the unrest to a banquet, killed all those people at the banquet, sent someone to assassinate those leaders who didn't come, and then got the military talisman , they sent troops to arrest all those involved in the unrest, quickly calmed the unrest, and pushed the 12-year-old prince to the throne. Many people thought he would directly ascend the throne, but he chose to coerce the emperor to order the princes. "

"He's so powerful, why don't he be the Emperor himself?" Du Xiaoli didn't understand.

Since ancient times, men have yearned for rights. Zhao Zhen has strength and ability. With such opportunities, he can stand on his own as king. Even if he does, no one dares to say anything.

"I don't know. Maybe he doesn't care about the position, or it's just that he wants to go up." Han Mingyi shook his head and said.

"Alas, I don't care about him now. Do you know what his cousin's unique skill is?" Du Xiaoli asked.

"Well, I sent someone to inquire. Zhao Zirui is really the best at calligraphy, but her best is dancing, and she can dance and paint at the same time." Han Mingyi replied.

"Is this her unique skill?" Du Xiaoli asked.

"Yes," said Han Mingyi, "how about winning?"

"I haven't seen her dance, and I can't tell the result yet. Since she draws, I'll try drawing, too. I don't know if I can compare her." Du Xiaoli said realistically.

"Well, just jump, and don't worry about anything else." Han Mingyi comforted.

Du Xiaoli took a heavy breath and said, "I know, Dad, brother Xiaoyi, you all go back. It's time to rest so late. I also want to prepare for tomorrow's game."

"What do you need to prepare? Do you want my help?" Han Mingyi asked.

"No, no, I can handle it myself. Go back." Du Xiaoli waved and drove Du Yunhan and Han Mingyi out.

After Du Yunhan and Han Mingyi both left, Du Xiaoli gave orders to Xia yuan and practiced things twice. The dance directly shocked Xia yuan and Yingge. She didn't go to bed until dawn to eliminate fatigue.

Since Han Mingze asked her to participate in the competition, she doesn't have to worry about other arrangements. Sure enough, early the next morning, Meng Weiren came to Du Xiaoli.

"Uncle Meng, are you here so early? It's still a while from the beginning of the game." Du Xiaoli came to the living room and saw Meng Weiren standing with a negative hand.

"Well, I received a decree last night that the emperor asked you to participate in the dance competition. I have arranged it. I specially came to inform you. We will transfer Chen Yue's quota to you, so you are the last to play. In the 16th, you can come later," Meng Weiren said.

"Thank you, uncle Meng." Du Xiaoli asked Meng Weiren to sit down and let Xia yuan serve tea. He asked, "Uncle Meng, I don't know when Zhao Zirui of Beiyuan state will play?"

"The fourteenth one is just two ahead of you." Meng Weiren said, "I heard that your game with her is related to some things between the two countries. Come on. It should be no problem with your strength." "uh huh, I'll try my best." Du Xiaoli said with a smile. "Jiang Zhuo will be married in a month. After the competition, go and see her more when you are free." Meng Weiren suddenly said. "I will, and I don't want to give up sister Jiang Zhuo. Although I haven't been in the capital for a long time, I have always been taken care of by sister Jiang Zhuo. I'm lucky to meet her," Du Xiaoli said. "It's also Jiang Zhuo's luck to meet you before he gets married. Well, you're ready. I'll go first. The emperor and the Duke of Beiyuan state may come today. You should also pay attention not to pass too late." Meng Weiren got up and said. Du Xiaoli stood up and said, "thank you, uncle Meng. I'll be there early." she went late and returned early in previous competitions because she didn't have to participate in the competition. But not this time. She must not be as casual as before. After Meng Weiren left, Du Xiaoli waited in the yard for a while. Before the game began, Fu Yalan came with her piano. "Xiao Li, why did you call me in such a hurry?" Fu Yalan asked the servant girl to put the piano on the table and asked. "I have something to ask you for help..." as Meng Weiren said, Han Mingze and Zhao Zhen really came today, along with some important officials in the DPRK. Many ministers attended yesterday's dinner, so it's not a secret. Although we have some opinions on linking national affairs with the college competition, for example, Du Yunhan has been holding his face to see who owes him money, but the matter is a foregone conclusion. We can only hope that Du Xiaoli can beat each other, Even if you don't win the first place, you have to suppress Zhao Zirui of Beiyuan state.
