Chapter 703

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Tianci got what he wanted - the candidate certificate.

The number of 300 people for the princess to recruit relatives has been set. Even if Xiao tiancigui is the Third Prince of Dongwan state, he should follow the rules if he wants to participate. Moreover, he doesn't want to expose his identity at the beginning.

The candidate certificate is the proof of the three hundred finalists, a bamboo slip three inches long and one inch wide. The order is engraved on it. On the front is No. 1, No. 2, No. 3... There are exquisite patterns engraved on the back, and the word "voucher" is written in the middle.

"Third childe..." this is what the attendant called Xiao Tianci's concealment of identity when he went out. He flattered: "this voucher was bought by his subordinates from a scholar, two hundred Liang silver! He began to ask for five hundred Liang. His subordinates gave him a good meal, and he only sold two hundred Liang."

Xiao Tianci doesn't care who bought it from, as long as he achieves his goal. Looking at the certificate number in his hand, he nodded: "well, you did a good job. If you become a young master, you will be rewarded."

"Thank you, third childe." The attendant is busy.

Soon, the auspicious hour had arrived. With the melodious and low voice of Hong Zhong from the three-story red building, it echoed continuously, and the whole audience was silent. A eunuch of Si Li lengthened his voice and said, "when the auspicious hour comes, the recruitment competition officially begins -"

Everyone's attention is on the high platform. This is an important time to see the real chapter. Who has what talent and ability should be displayed today. If you don't have some confidence, I'm afraid you don't dare to come.

As the Minister of rites, Wen Changde was personally ordered by his majesty to preside over the contest. Naturally, he was under great pressure.

Standing on the high platform, he was dressed in official clothes, dignified and luxuriant, and read out the rules of the competition in a loud voice Project: "this recruitment means that the eldest princess selects her son-in-law. Based on the principles of openness, fairness and justice, it is divided into three schedules. Today's first assessment is to test the connotation, behavior, appearance and bearing of the candidates. It is up to her majesty and empress to see each other in person and the princess to decide. Are you ready?"

However, those candidates who want to marry the princess have looked at each other one by one in the back constituency and almost become cockfighting eyes. If they didn't care about their identity and occasion, they would have fought together long ago.

Before the competition, no one knows how to compete in recruiting relatives, but people will naturally guess and inquire. Choosing a son-in-law is the same as choosing a son-in-law. In fact, there are only a few conditions. The key depends on whether the princess can see it or not. Now, as soon as they hear the assessment content, they immediately tidy up their appearance and want to leave the best impression on the princess later.

Wen Changde, the Minister of rites, called out the order of the candidates, and the top five candidates went up one by one.

The people immediately brightened their eyes and stared at the five people.

Five young men of different statures, tall, short, fat and thin. But no matter what they wear or dress up, they obviously have some thoughts. Some people hold folding fans and look elegant. Some people wore jade pendants around their waist, which looked very elegant. Others wore jade crowns and black robes. At that time, someone in the crowd called out: "look, Lord Chu!"

There was a uproar in the crowd. Everyone's eyes were on the candidate in the black robe. When they saw it, they immediately burst into laughter.

Where is the king of Chu?

He is just a candidate who imitates the night clothes of King Nalan of Chu. Seven feet tall is not short, but his face is very different. Cold eyes, high nose, thin lips and tight lips are obviously trying to imitate the charm of Nalan night, but they look like neither fish nor fowl, which is the opposite effect.

"Ha ha, look at the number five! Isn't this dress clear to learn from the king of Chu, ha ha... This man is shameless, and the king of Chu can learn it casually? He doesn't look at his appearance!"

Someone immediately looked at the candidate booklet in his hand and shouted, "isn't this Liu Yu, the son of boss Liu of Wenxuan pavilion? Unexpectedly, he also ran for the election. Obviously, he is determined to win the princess!"

As we all know, it is an open secret that Nangong Waner, the third princess, admires Nalan night, king of Chu. But the king of Chu finally married Luo qingluan, Princess of Chu, and the two people had a deep relationship and a deep husband and wife relationship, which could not be shaken by outsiders at all. Even if it is a princess, it can only be the result of "the goddess has a heart and the king has no dream".

But obviously, the No. 5 candidate named Liu Yu is interested in this. Thinking that the three princesses like the king of Chu, he dressed up as the king of Chu, hoping to get a different look from the princess. Otherwise, with his son as a bookstore owner, it is impossible to stand out from many candidates.

Thanks to silver, Xiao Tianci also successfully squeezed into the back constituency.

Sitting on the seat, he completely replaced the scholar named Huang Guan, looked at the five opponents on the stage with a sneer. He stared at Nangong Waner on the high platform for a few eyes. The more he looked, the more he felt that people were more beautiful and noble, and he couldn't help thinking.

"This idiot wants to pretend to be the king of Chu without peeing and taking care of himself. Do you deserve it?"

Xiao Tianci said coldly, "the princess is not blind. For such unscrupulous and opportunistic people, I'm afraid the first one will be eliminated."

As for the other four, he didn't look more and didn't take it to heart at all.

"In the first round, no one was selected."

Sure enough, soon, Wen Changde, the Minister of rites, announced the results, and immediately started to marvel and laugh. In full view of the public, the five candidates were defeated in the first round. They were ashamed and had just come to a gloomy end, but Wen Changde said in a deep voice: "No. 5 Liu Yu, stop."

When they were stunned, they listened to him with a straight face and said, "the princess has an order. Liu Yu openly pretended to be the king of Chu with ulterior motives. He immediately cancelled his qualification for the competition and dragged down to hit the top 20 boards again."

What? The whole audience was in an uproar.

Liu Yu, the candidate wearing a black robe, had not reacted. He had been rushed up and dragged down by the two forbidden troops on duty next to him. The people were shocked when they begged for mercy. It turned out that it was still dangerous to take part in the marriage recruitment. If you could annoy the princess, you would end up with 20 big boards and kill them alive!

"Deserved it!" Xiao Tianci pulled his lips.

Although he didn't know Nangong Waner liked Nalan night, the name of the king of Chu was like thunder, and even his father and emperor were deeply afraid of it. There are idiots who dare to dress up for Nalan night and try to get the favor of the princess. It's crazy to die!

What's a fake to be proud of? Isn't it a clear face to beat the princess?

After a burst of wailing and screaming, the faces of the people in the rear constituency have become more dignified. They know that this selection is not so simple. But few people want to quit. After all, they want to marry the princess after careful consideration. Soon, the five candidates in the second group played again. For a moment, they passed two people this time, No. 7 and No. 9.

Xiao Tianci's eyes fell on No. 7 and his eyebrows wrinkled.

This man looks like a dog. He is obviously a strong enemy!

Quickly read the pamphlet in his hand and count it to No. 7. Xiao Tianci was unhappy, and a wave of pressure hit him: "Wang xiuhan, now 21, is still the number one in the palace examination last year? Hehe, this identity..."

Well, it's the first opponent he met, the nephew of the Empress Dowager of Western Chu. Although he can't compare with the three princes of Dongwan country, the other party's home status can also be regarded as a draw with him. Moreover, Wang xiuhan also looked white and white, with a small white face. The princess should not be fascinated by his appearance.

Touched his face, Xiao Tianci had more confidence, and he was not bad!

He secretly remembered Wang xiuhan's name in his heart. Xiao Tianci was silent, waiting to call his number.

Among the crowd below, Xiao Yuqi's face was not good and his heart was a little heavy.

I don't know when the third brother Xiao Tianci was separated. He doesn't know. Now there are many onlookers. Finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. How can it be so simple? Two attendants have been sent to find it for fear that Xiao Tianci might give it in case, but Xiao Yu and Qi Gen didn't hope. His three younger brothers have always liked to join in the fun, and I don't know where they will go.

Just then, the stage began the next round: "group 6, five candidates on stage!"

Where are you still in the mood to see the princess choose a son-in-law? Xiao Yuqi just wanted to find Xiao Tianci quickly. Unexpectedly, he inadvertently glanced at him, and his eyes were cold and stunned on the spot.

The man on the stage... Isn't that Xiao Tianci he can't find? He ran up to ask for a marriage?

What the hell is going on?

Xiao Yuqi looked at Xiao Tianci proudly on the stage with a cold face and made it clear that running for the election was not a joke. After asking several attendants, he stood with his hands down and exuded a sense of coercion. People around him didn't know why. They just felt cold all over and unconsciously kept away. A blank area was formed around Xiao Yuqi.

"Say!"

The cold words read out from Xiao Yu Qi's thin lips: "what's going on, why... The third childe will be on the stage? Who encouraged it?" His sight swept like a sharp blade, and several of his followers shuddered.

They are crying bitterly. They have been following the crown prince. Who knows when the third prince ran away and went to attend the marriage recruitment of the three princesses of Western Chu! They don't know what's going on!

At this time, someone took a careful look at Xiao Yuqi and whispered, "eldest and eldest childe, subordinates... Subordinates heard the third childe say they were going to participate in the selection of the three princesses..."

"Did he go by himself?"

Xiao Yuqi said angrily, "you don't stop. If something happens to the third childe, can you bear it?"

The man hurriedly said: "eldest childe, my subordinates can't help it. The third childe said that if he was elected by the princess of Western Chu, the third childe would be the son-in-law of Western Chu. In this way, even if the third childe didn't ask the princess of Chu, the princess of Chu would take the initiative to treat the third childe, because... For the sake of the princess..."

When Xiao Yuqi heard this, he was neither laughing nor crying.

That's why?!

His third brother, unexpectedly, gave birth to this idea because he didn't want to ask Luo qingluan for treatment, or he couldn't. As long as he became the son-in-law of Western Chu, the emperor of Western Chu could not help but have hidden diseases for the lifelong happiness of the three princesses.

In this way, Princess Chu is bound to help the third brother heal!

"Unexpectedly... He unexpectedly..." Xiao Yuqi's anger suddenly disappeared, unable to cry or laugh.

He also wanted to ask Xiao Tianci to go to the king's house to meet the princess of Chu and the king of Chu first. Be sincere. He would talk about it from the side to see if he could ask the princess of Chu to move. But now it's like this. It seems that all the previous plans are in a mess.
