The target of the assassination is the fox

Chapter 5 The princess is hard to guess

After going back and waiting for two days, the list was finally released in front of the gate of the palace. There were only 20 people in total, and they had to go to the next round of competition on the second day.Many people were sad and failed, and sighed in front of the notice wall.However, in the early morning of the next day, the open space was still crowded with people, even more crowded than the previous time.

The number of people who join in the fun will never decrease.

The guards formed a wall to separate the crowd and leave a large enough space.The stage has been set up in the arena.I and the other 19 people were arranged to sit and wait.

A long screen was erected under the shade of trees not far from the stage, curtains were hung on all sides of the small pavilion behind the Molan screen, only the graceful figure inside could be vaguely seen, and peonies could be seen through the gaps in the curtains when the wind passed. A corner of the White Crane Palace dress.Maid Fang brought tea in herself, and then stood respectfully by the side of the small pavilion with several other guard maids, waiting for orders with lowered eyebrows.

The identity of the person in the pavilion was obvious, and everyone knew it, but they couldn't hold back the excitement, and cast their gazes over in unison, wishing they could see through the screen and gauze curtains.And those outside the arena who joined in the fun couldn't see clearly because they were too far away, so they had to beat their chests and sigh.

As soon as the hour passed, there were six drumbeats in the arena, and everyone fell silent.The butler slowly walked onto the stage and began to give a speech, expressing the purpose of this competition and its openness and fairness, and thanking everyone for their participation. Scanning the surroundings, I found that many people in the scene were blind-eyed, yawning again and again, or continued to stare at the screen not far away in a daze.

The beautiful figure behind the screen is still sitting upright, her body never tilted, ah, even under such circumstances, she has not forgotten to maintain the royal dignity and dignity at all times.I squinted and looked at the past, imagining the expression of the princess in my mind.Is she really putting away her seductive body and listening carefully to the long and boring speech of the housekeeper?Or... She has already wandered off and even closed her eyes and dozed off... Haha~

I guess maliciously.

But I think the answer is actually more towards the former.Because when I looked over quietly, I could vaguely feel a gaze coming out of it, calmly, as if it had landed on the stage, but for some reason, I had the illusion of staring at it.

It's really interesting... I found myself more and more interested in this unmasked princess, although I have realized that to assassinate this princess may really be the most difficult task ever to complete-this is The sixth sense of being a killer.

However, it is precisely this kind of difficulty that makes me feel excited, just like meeting an opponent in a chess game, encountering a strong soldier in a battle, and feeling refreshed after strenuous effort.Therefore, I am bound to win the position of Princess Princess' close maid!

"Okay, that's all I want to talk about." The butler finally closed the manuscript cheerfully, and after everyone breathed a sigh of relief, he continued: "Then, this competition is very simple. Please show your talents to your heart's content, and finally we will be judged by our Princess Jin'an, and the winner will be served in the house."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.

What does it mean?After talking so much at length just now, I thought that I have to pass a more rigorous written test first, and then accept many tests and so on. In the end, is it so free and even somewhat loose?And... why is it more important to recruit a maid than talent? !

At this moment, the chief steward of the palace spoke again: "We will prepare all the equipment you need to show your talents in the county palace. You can choose them at will, and if you need anything else, you can let us know in advance." Following his words, the gate of the palace was buzzing It was opened slowly, and a pair of guards carrying tables and cabinets came out one by one from the inside. They arranged the things in their hands on the other side of the stage, and placed all kinds of equipment and even ingredients on it.

After many people were stunned, their faces showed panic and bewilderment. It seemed that they were stunned by the accident.But the woman with the wooden sign number one in her hand got up without saying a word and went to pick out the utensils.Unhurried, it seems that he came prepared.

Soon the woman came onto the stage, holding a pipa and sat down on the chair on the stage, raised her plain hand, and tried a few notes, and then there was a sad and melodious "Girlfriend" lingering.

My hands on my knees trembled, and it’s fine to play the pipa and sing, but why is it still a boudoir grievance?Isn't this the favorite in teahouses and restaurants?And what does this have to do with the maid?The princess chooses a maid who can play and sing boudoir grievances, in case one day she travels in a private server and becomes penniless due to an affair, can she use it to make money as a performer?

"Worthy of being the oiran lady of Wanchun Tower...it sounds so good~~" Suddenly there were a few praises from beside me.I turned my head to look at the intoxicated people behind me, stunned.

Oiran... I can't believe it!

It turns out that this woman singing the sad song is a famous oiran lady here? !Why did the Oiran lady come to compete to be a maid, and did her mother in the building agree to participate in the selection? !

What surprised me even more was that the next person on stage, she actually embroidered flowers there for half an hour!And at the end when everyone was shown, the red pink under the festive big red peony gave the cute words to Princess Jin'an and the shy smile on her face couldn't bear to look straight at it!

And the person who appeared next was actually a lady official!I had seen her when I sneaked into the palace that night, she is a gentle and gentle lady, but she is actually a deputy hall master in the princess's love organization!Sure enough, while she was dancing, her little eyes never stopped, and she stared straight at the other side of the screen...

Such an ambiguous atmosphere... This is actually choosing a concubine! !

I just want to flip the table.Having said that, why compare talents?Did Princess Jin'an hire a maid because of the lack of fun around her to pass the time with nothing to do? !

What's even more unbearable is that the originally very serious butler is already eating melon seeds with a smile on his face at the table!And the man sitting next to him with a suspicious blush on his face isn't that immortal Taihe Daoist?Is it really good for the dignified Tsinghua Guan Taihe real person to stare at the girl on the stage so happily and intoxicated? ! !

I closed my eyes and stroked my forehead, my heart was already extremely messy, but I had no choice but to calm down and start thinking about how to deal with it later.Fortunately, there is still enough time, because the wooden sign in my hand is fifteen, and there are still twelve people before it is my turn.

The performance on stage is still going on.

"Little girl Lin Zhi, talent, talent is an abacus." The shy little girl hugged the abacus, flipping through it, and the amount in the account book was accurate.

"I'm the best at rolling dice! You can enjoy Double Happiness if you want it big or small..." The eldest sister who runs a casino in her handsome and heroic family threw the dice into the air neatly and scooped them up with a bamboo tube...

"I know martial arts. I'm known as Kuai Dao Niang. My family has a martial arts gym. I've learned how to use swords since I was a child. I'm also good at carving!"

"I, I am very good at taking care of pets, and I can quickly clean dirty cats and dogs..."

……

Why does it feel like this competition is developing in a strange direction... When the No. 14 girls were about to finish playing mahjong, I stood in front of all kinds of equipment, frowning.It's the first time in his life to perform on stage, how to win in one fell swoop among these wonderful talents... It seems that he can give it a go.

So I finally took the Four Treasures of the Study on stage.Spread out the rice paper, pick up the brush to color, and draw a picture of a beauty in the half stick of incense.

Speaking of which, this is a skill that I only practiced when I pretended to be an artist for a mission a few years ago.In order to assassinate that rich businessman, I don’t know how many portraits I painted for his group of flamboyant and trembling concubines, and how many tofu I was eaten... Cough, I feel so sad.

And the beauty in this painting is made by referring to many portraits of princesses I have seen before, selecting the similarities in those appearances, and imagining them.Dressed in red, with enchanting eyebrows, she is standing by the spring water pool, looking back at you with a smile.

The person in the painting is at least [-]% similar to the princess, and with this artist, it must not be difficult to stand out.I noticed the surprised look on the butler's face when he saw the scroll. He stroked his gray beard and smiled at me, then took it from the guard and held it behind the screen himself.

Heh, it's a sure win out of ten.

I secretly raised the corner of my mouth, but unexpectedly when the result was announced later... I was the last one!

——————————————————————————————————————

One day after a long time—

Fei Hua: Why did the beauty pictures I drew score so low when I was choosing the maid?

A certain princess: Hmph, who told you that your paintings don't look like me at all.

fly:-_-!It's obviously a good drawing...

Princess: Heh, the artist is so good because he has painted many women before!

Feihua: Huh?How did you know? !

Princess: (Gao Leng) I don't know about you... Be honest, did you draw (beep—) pictures of those women a few years ago? !Especially the third concubine... Hmph, if you dare to do something to offend the princess, you, you will swallow this inkstone! !

Feihua: (⊙_⊙)...
