I traveled all over the three thousand worlds just to meet you

Chapter 49 The Peerless Concubine (13)

The news about the sale of the concubine's house and the expulsion of the government doctor by Prince Zhao's mansion was quickly spread. After knowing the whole story, many people thought that the concubine of Prince Zhao was really jealous and not a virtuous woman.

In ancient times, it was quite normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Hearing these news, Qin Li didn't even frown. Her due date is coming soon, and now she has no time to talk to those people.

Qin Li gave birth to a girl within a few days.Seeing that the child was not a son, some people pointed and gossiped during the third baptism.

"Tell me about this concubine, who gave birth to a son for the son after five years, and still doesn't let the son take a concubine, really..."

"Yes, yes, men, all have three wives and four concubines."

After the three baptisms, Cuiyu returned to Qin Li with an unhappy expression on her face. Qin Li took the child and saw that Cuiyu could hang a bottle on her mouth, and looked at her amusedly: "Who made our Cuiyu angry?"

"Miss, those people are talking about you again! There are still several young ladies who are giving Shizi a wink, and they almost jumped on him." Cuiyu's eyes were red with anger. miss grab!

Qin Li's smile faded: "These people still don't give up?"

"Yes, miss, they also said that you were unlucky and gave birth to a girl."

"Cuiyu, don't be angry, go, let people go to various mansions to deliver greeting cards."

"Miss, they said you, and you still treat them to dinner?" Cuiyu was in a hurry.

Qin Li looked at her and raised a smile. Although the smile was pretty, it made people tremble.

"Pass the greeting card and tell all the ladies that on the fifteenth day after March, the concubine will host a banquet, including piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, dancing, martial arts, riding and archery, medicine and poison, any of which can be challenged. You can participate, as long as there is one item that exceeds mine, I will personally welcome her into the house and become the prince’s concubine!”

"Miss, you!" Cuiyu's eyes widened in shock.

"You have no confidence in me?"

Cuiyu grabbed Qin Li's sleeve, "Of course I have confidence in Miss, but Miss, why give them a chance to become famous for nothing."

Qin Li patted her hand: "How can there be such a good thing? All women who sign up for the competition will enter the palace if they succeed, and if they fail, they are not allowed to marry in the capital."

She would convince the men who coveted her that they would lose, and she would never see her man again for the rest of her life, so she could only marry far away.

The young lady raised in a wealthy family in the capital wants to marry high and continue to show off her might in the capital.For them, this is the heaviest blow.

"Miss, you are so smart!" Cuiyu was happy.

"Go ahead and report to the concubine mother. If the concubine mother has no objection, then go prepare."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

The news from Prince Zhao's Mansion shocked the whole capital. Some people were inevitably disappointed and gave up after hearing about the conditions behind, but many people were still eager to try.

Qin Li raised her leisurely for three months, and within three months, her figure quickly recovered, and finally on the fifteenth day, there were Yingying Yanyans in the palace, and there were women from all families.

"Let's not say anything extra, this morning there is a four-item competition of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, is there anyone who can challenge me?"

The six women stood up, Qin Li nodded, and the girl in charge of the documents took out six contracts, stating that if she wins, she will enter the palace to be a person next to the prince, if she loses, she will have to leave within a year. If you marry a foreigner, you cannot stay in the capital.

Seeing that the six women were so serious, they hesitated a little. One woman hesitated for a while, saluted and sat back.Qin Li laughed, did they think they were joking?
This woman seems to be exempt from marrying far away, but in fact she lost both face and face.Of the remaining five people, two chose Qin, and the remaining three chose chess, calligraphy and painting.

"Even if they collided, then you two decide who is better, and the winner will be compared with the Crown Princess."

The two women looked at each other, and both saw hostility in each other's eyes.Not to be outdone, the qin competition is simple. Two people play the qin together and play different pieces. If one loses and follows the rhythm of the other, it is a loser.

They played the piano well, and after a stick of incense, the winner was decided.The victorious woman's face was terrified, and the losing woman's face was ashen. She lost before she could compete with the crown prince, and now not only could she not marry the crown prince, but she had to marry far away, she couldn't bear it for a while and passed out.

Qin Li watched coldly, and let the servant girl take him away, then looked at the winning woman: "Which family are you young lady?"

"The daughter of the Minister of Rites, Jin Yaoyao!" Jin Yaoyao looked proud.

Qin Li glanced at her in surprise. The ones who were kicked out three months ago were the concubine Aunt Jin and the concubine's daughter of the Minister of Rites.Why is the legitimate daughter here now?Does the daughter of the Jin family really like to be a concubine in Prince Zhao's house?

Withdrawing her thoughts, Qin Li nodded: "Let's start."

Putting his hands on the piano, Qin Li played a majestic battle song. Jin Yaoyao's piano skills are really good. The two of them stalemate for a moment, Qin Li changed the tone, Jin Yaoyao's hands trembled, and the sound instantly became chaotic.

Her face suddenly turned pale, and she looked at Qin Li in disbelief.Qin Li just smiled, and didn't look at her again: "Let's go next, the young lady playing chess can come up."

The chess player was Li Zhuzhu, a concubine from Jing Zhaoyin's family, and she played well. Qin Li had a rare encounter with an opponent, and she was very happy to play chess. She attacked again and again, making Li Zhuzhu's face pale, and finally gave up crying.

The book compares poems and characters, with peach blossoms as the theme, I wrote a poem. At any rate, Qin Li traveled through several worlds and was a good student. Deep light makeup. The spring breeze breaks the heart and blows off the white clothes."

—From Yuan Zhen's "Peach Blossom"

The girl Bishu is only 14 years old, how could she write a work better than this poem that has been handed down for a hundred years?

The girl Bihua's complexion was not good-looking, she hesitated again and again, and asked the girl beside her to find Cuiyu, Cuiyu whispered something to Qin Li after hearing this, Qin Li nodded slightly, and after the girl went back, the girl went forward apologize.

She said that she was instigated by others and felt that she had the ability to compete with Qin Li. Now that she is ashamed to see the talent of the concubine, she is willing to withdraw from the competition, and is willing to make a painting for the concubine on the spot, and will marry far away within a year.

Qin Li held the painting, looked at the back of the woman leaving and smiled: "This is a smart person, who lost face but regained it."

"Miss, didn't you just say that the girl who gave up the game is stupid? How can she be smart?"

Qin Li shook her head: "The first one to surrender without standing up. The world will only know that she wants to be a woman who has no guts to fight. Even if she doesn't leave the capital, she will attract people's attention and find a good marriage. This is stupid. And this girl, She took the initiative to dedicate the painting to me, and let everyone see that her painting skills are indeed top-notch. Even if she marries far away, there will be a good family to propose marriage for her nephew who has been released. When the time comes, the husband-in-law will help her, and she can still come back, so she is very smart. "

After completing the competition of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting all morning, four crying young ladies were helped down one after another, and one of them gave up without competing. For a moment, everyone was a little frightened. How could this princess know everything?
