The empress dowager took a sip of tea before placing the teacup on the table. She smiled confidently and said happily, "My son, is your mother so easily fooled by your younger brother? This Dowager only promised that if the Prime Minister's daughter wasn't proficient enough, she wouldn't force him to marry her. However, This Dowager didn't say that he wouldn't allow another girl to marry him. There is no shortage of talented women in our Qiankun Country. My son, you should ask all the ministers to gather her young daughter for a contest. When the time comes, the first three ladies will definitely tell him to choose one. "
Zuo Rongyi's eyes could not help but shine brightly as she clapped and praised, "Imperial Mother, you really have the confidence to win. But, Imperial Mother, your imperial decree has already been passed down. What if the Prime Minister's daughter doesn't have control over it? "
The empress dowager looked meaningfully at the emperor's left hand as she smiled gracefully.
Cold sweat trickled down Zuo Liyi's back as she said with a bitter face, "Imperial Mother, you can't be thinking of us taking her as our imperial concubine, right?"
The empress dowager held in her laughter. "Your son is still the smartest."
"It can't be. Why is it me again? Other people are so good at being emperors, why do I feel like I've always been on that ship?"
"Hehe, your expression is so funny! "My son, if you're not willing, then let's hope that the Prime Minister will choose the golden bird!" The empress dowager stood up and glanced at Zuo Rongyi before allowing her servant to support her into the inner chamber.
"Imperial Mother, you!"
The empress dowager benevolently turned her head to look at the crazed Zuo Wanli. It seemed as if she was saying, "Wishing for your own blessings!"
Zuo Lianyi yelled, "Someone come!"
"Your majesty!" A servant ran in.
"Tell the Prime Minister that his daughter must make it to the top three of the Grand Scholar Competition in seven days' time, and then rush to the Concourse of the Underworld. It's just that I am deeply afraid of the Empress's love."
Zuo Rongyi's meaning was very clear. If one didn't have talent, they wouldn't deserve to be an imperial concubine. They could only enter the harem, but he definitely wouldn't pamper anyone other than the empress. That was to say, he couldn't be chosen and could only be left alone for the rest of his life …
"What?"
"We'll compete in seven days! If she doesn't enter the top three, she will be reduced to being an imperial concubine! "Damn it, this Fifth Prince really deserves to die. Killing a thousand knives to mess with my grandma, I don't believe that I, a modern man, can't defeat him!"
"I'm going to die from anger, I'm going to die from anger! I was prepared to live peacefully with you, but now it seems like you didn't know how to appreciate kindness. Just you wait, I, Yao Sisi, will make you cry and never commit suicide!"
Yao Sisi had been busy for nearly an hour now, and couldn't even be persuaded. The Prime Minister couple had no choice but to bring a couple of ladies away. The only ones left in the Warm Pavilion were Yao Sisi and a servant girl, Yuanbao.
"Yuanbao, how about you give me a response?" Yao Sisi angrily shouted. Yuan Bao helplessly stood up and looked at Yao Sisi, saying, "Miss, what did you tell me to say? If I say I lose, you say I lose. If I say I win, you say I lose. "From what I see, young miss has an extremely noble status regardless of who wins or loses. She would never be able to get one no matter how long she pleads."
"Yuanbao, go tell Daddy to buy me a Jade Zither. It records the game's broken board score that has never been deciphered by anyone. "Wait and find me a few tailors to make my clothes."
Yuan Bao looked at Yao Sisi with doubt flashing across his eyes. He seemed to want to say something, but seeing Yao Sisi's urging gaze, he trotted out.
Yao Sisi smiled, "Hmph, isn't a competition just a game? Top three, Zuo Rulan, you brat, I've decided to let you know just how amazing I am. " Ye Zichen picked up a pen and drew on the side according to the style of Chang'e's snow-covered pleated skirt in the new version of Journey to the West. He didn't want me to have a relationship with the royal family. Mother said that as the wife of the royal family, it would be very difficult for her not to be locked in the palace compound for the rest of her life. Now it's a chance, if her appearance doesn't pass then she might not have to marry the prince or anyone else in the royal family. Although the Prime Minister's manor had its share of food and wine, it was impossible for them to earn as much as they wanted. Therefore, she definitely wanted her to shine so brilliantly that day that Zuo Rulan Fan would be "terrified by the sound of her voice".
On the seventh day, my mother brought over a set of Chang'e Immortal Dress that I designed myself. A few days ago, Yao Jiajia and Shui Qiubai were officially engaged, so this time, Yao Jiajia only went to watch and did not display her talents. Originally, she could have avoided it, but Yao Sisi said that only by doing this would people know that there were two daughters in the Prime Minister's Estate.
Brother: His name is Yao Shichang. He is 22 this year and has a wife. The father of Shui Qiubai, the President of the Board of Justice, was of the same official rank as the father of the Second Brother. His name was Yao Yifan, and he did not like being a government official this year, so he was very talented in business. His second brother had gone out to deal with the shop yesterday, and now only his eldest brother was home.
She ate breakfast hastily in the Warm Pavilion, and when she trotted to the door, she saw her brother already waiting there.
Elder Brother Yao Shichang was wearing a milky white robe today, with only the collar embroidered with auspicious clouds and a suet hairpin on his head. He appeared so spotless that even the sun was shining in front of him, his slender and elegant fingers holding onto the reins of his horse. She had never seen such an elegant and picturesque man, completely different from the man in black from that day. Although she had already met him a few days ago, she couldn't help but be addicted to him. If this handsome guy wasn't her backer's brother, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't eat grass by the side of the rabbit, she would definitely have made him his backup.
Seeing that his sister had released the reins, Shi Chang walked to Yao Sisi's side and said with a doting voice, "Sister, why have you taken so long to come out? Mother told you to be a little uglier, right?" There was not a single hint of blame in her voice, but she was actually a bit worried.
Yao Sisi nodded her head emotionally. She had truly picked up a treasure. There was not a single person in the Prime Minister's estate who didn't treat her well. She really didn't know if the previous TV show was just to fool people, or if the people here were being protected too simply.
"Big brother, I'm not ugly at all. I've already become an ugly duckling standing with big brother, a Sky Immortal level character. Besides, if I'm too ugly, it'll attract the attention of others, no?" Big brother, you should worry more about yourself. Be careful not to get entangled by beauties during the banquet. Sister-in-law will get angry. " Yao Sisi pulled her big brother's arm with a coquettish tone.
"You mischievous ghost spirit." A slender finger pointed at the spot between Yao Sisi's eyebrows. Turning to look at her mother and wife, Zhang Xuan smiled in embarrassment.
"Big brother, you have to hurry up and hug mother's biological grandson with sister-in-law." I really look forward to it, big brother, you have to do your best. " Yao Sisi would never forget to tease from the side.
"See if I beat you up today." Yao Yifan was being chased by Yao Sisi, who was running towards the door with a slightly flushed face. The sounds of laughter and begging for mercy suddenly rang out.
