It was dusk, and everyone was waiting quietly in the courtyard of the outer imperial dining room, with a solemn atmosphere.

Youshi, Yan Chuan appeared on time, glanced at everyone with his sharp eyes, and said expressionlessly: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time, the results of the second round of the competition have been counted, and the list of ten eliminated is announced now. Please come out if you read the name." List."

Not a list of winners, but a list of knockouts?Yan Chuan's character is really unpredictable, making it difficult to guess.

Everyone's faces suddenly showed nervousness, and they prayed in their hearts that their names would not be read out of Yan Chuan's mouth.

Yan Chuan saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, opened the booklet, opened his mouth lightly, and read out the first name: "Zhao Lan."

Zhao Lan was a tall, thin, middle-aged man. He didn't seem to believe that he was eliminated. He was taken aback for a moment before standing up, with an expression of disbelief still on his face.

There was almost no pause in the middle, and Yan Chuan immediately read out the second name: "Shen Yao."

Shen Yao was chubby, and when Yan Chuan called his name, a look of disappointment flashed across her face, she sighed slightly, and stepped forward.

Afterwards, Yan Chuan called six more names one after another, and the people whose names were called all stood up with disappointed faces. Fortunately, Xie Mingyu's name has not yet appeared.

Now there are eight eliminated, and the last two are left. The people whose names were not called all breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yan Chuan nervously.

Stared at by everyone, Yan Chuan remained calm, without any emotion on his face, and slowly called out the next name

: "Cai Ming."

Cai Ming lives in the same attic as Xie Mingyu. He is tall and tall. He was No. 30 in the first round of the competition. After hearing his name, he showed a clear look of loneliness.

Next is the last knockout.

Yan Chuan said lightly: "Meng Fang."

Meng Fang also lives in the same attic as Xie Mingyu. He has passed the age of knowing his fate. In the first round, he was No.7. He was eliminated unexpectedly, but Meng Fang remained calm after hearing his name. The appearance, can not see any emotion.

So far, all ten eliminated have been announced.

Xie Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know how high she was ranked in this competition, she finally advanced smoothly.

Lu Xing also advanced smoothly, with a relaxed smile on his face, while others were not paying attention, he winked mischievously at Xie Mingyu.

Seeing this, Xie Mingyu couldn't help smiling.

The ten eliminated quickly left the courtyard under the leadership of the eunuch, went back to pack their things, and they would be sent out of the palace within an hour.

Yan Chuan put the brochure in his sleeve, and said indifferently to the remaining 27 people in the courtyard: "Congratulations everyone for winning. The third round is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. The top [-] winners will be selected and the seven will be eliminated. June For summer, the third round of the competition will be a dish with the theme of 'summer', please think about it when you go back, and look forward to your performance the day after tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left without stopping any longer.

After hearing that the theme of the next competition is "Summer", everyone is gearing up for a big fight.In the previous two competitions, the topic was decided temporarily before the competition. The time was in a hurry and I did not fully display my cooking skills. Now I have a day to think about it, and I secretly vowed to make a dish that is full of praise and win A seat!

As the ten knockouts left the palace, the results of the second round of the competition quickly spread outside the palace. After yesterday, there was another wave of enthusiasm. Everyone talked about the competition in the palace.

Among them, the most entangled ones were the people in the gambling house. They used the game in the palace to openly gamble, betting on whether Xie Mingyu would beat the crowd and win No.1 again, so as to make a lot of money.As a result, Gong Nei didn't play cards according to the routine, and only announced the list of eliminated players, without ranking the winners at all. The casino had no way to judge the outcome. I had no choice but to return all the gambling money in full, and it was a big oolong.

Shen Yan has been reading in the study room since he finished school. He said it was reading, but he was actually waiting for the results of the competition in the palace.

If he didn't know the final result of the game, he couldn't sleep at all.

Fulin went out early to inquire about the news. At night, he knocked on the door with a happy face and came in, excitedly saying: "Master Yan, the results of the second round of the competition have come out, and the palace has only announced the list of ten eliminated. There is no name of the young master! The young master has successfully advanced!"

Shen Yanzhi immediately felt relieved when he heard the words, and murmured, "That's good."

Fulin smiled and said: "The young master is so powerful, he will definitely win all the time. Although the palace did not announce the winner's ranking, maybe the young master will be the first one this time."

Shen Yanzhi couldn't help laughing after hearing the words: "Don't say this outside, it's not good if people hear it. It's okay, it's too late for you

The one on board is still going out to inquire about the news, let's go rest first, and have to get up early tomorrow. "

Fulin responded with a smile, opened the door and went out.

Knowing the result of Xie Mingyu's successful promotion, Shen Yanzhi's heart fell to the ground, and he calmly reviewed the homework taught by Mr. Bai Rili, then packed his books and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

Lying on the soft bed, Shen Yanzhi held Xie Mingyu's middle coat in his arms, smelling the smell left on the clothes, tiredness gradually rose, and soon fell asleep.

Yi Hengqi copied the Jingjing Sutra for a whole day in the small study in Concubine Li's courtyard, and finally missed it twice. In order to leave the palace earlier, he got up early to continue copying before dawn the next day.

Until it was broad daylight, and the morning light streamed in through the open windows.

On the table was a stack of fine rice paper, densely packed with small characters.

The font is lively and handsome, just like the person.

Yi Hengqi finished writing the last stroke with a calm breath, threw the brush into the inkstone that had run out of ink, shook his sore arms, stretched fiercely, and sighed happily: "Finally finished copying."

After tidying up the rice papers on the table full of Qingjingjing, Yihengqi didn't waste any time, and left the study with a face full of joy, and hurriedly went to see Concubine Li for business.

"Mother Concubine, good morning!" Yi Hengqi didn't want the servant to inform him, he lifted the curtain of the inner room happily, revealing a lively face.

Concubine Li was sitting on the couch drinking ginseng tea, when she saw Yi Hengqi walking in grandly, she frowned slightly: "How many times have I told you, be more prudent, why don't you listen? distance."

Although it was a reprimand, there was a slight smile in his eyes.

Yihengqi smiled strangely: "I'm in a hurry to see my concubine. Also, I've already copied the ten Qingjing Sutras. Please have a look at my concubine."

As he spoke, he handed over a thick stack of rice paper, and the servant who was waiting on the side took it respectfully.

Concubine Li couldn't help being surprised and said: "Oh, you copied quickly this time, it used to take four or five days to finish copying."

Yi Hengqi smiled triumphantly: "That's natural, in order to go out of the palace to play earlier, I got up early in the morning to copy, mother concubine, please check it quickly."

Concubine Li sighed: "You did your best to be able to go out of the palace to play, and even your usual tired look disappeared. It's fine, there is no need to check, the concubine mother believes in you."

Yihengqi immediately beamed with joy, turned around and was about to run away, but suddenly remembered what Concubine Li had said to him just now, stopped in his tracks, and pretended to salute Concubine Li: "Thank you, concubine mother, the son will go first Retire."

Concubine Li covered her lips and smiled, forced a stern look, and reprimanded: "Don't be naughty when you leave the palace, remember you can only stay outside the palace for two days, if you don't return after the time limit, the concubine will punish you severely. "

Yihengqi laughed happily, leaving behind a sentence of "Mother and concubine is not willing to part with it", and left in a hurry.

In the evening, when Shen Yan got into the carriage after school, Fulin replied to him through the curtain: "Mrs. Shen sent a girl over in the afternoon, and asked the young master if he could go there after school. Look..."

Shen Yanzhi paused when he heard the words, lightly brushed the tassels on the jade pendant around his waist, and said lightly: "Okay, let's go directly." Mrs. Shen's house is fairly well-repaired, and there are a few maids who take care of her carefully. I also bought a cook with good craftsmanship, and stewed some supplements for her from time to time, and her complexion gradually improved, and she became more ruddy.

Seeing Shen Yanzhi coming, Mrs. Shen showed a smile on her face: "Yanzhi, you are here."

Shen Yanzhi smiled and asked, "Mother, what's the matter with you calling me here?"

Mrs. Shen said: "It's nothing serious, I just want to chat with you. There is lily and mung bean porridge stewed in the kitchen. I'll serve you a bowl and try it."

? "

Shen Yanzhi nodded and smiled: "Thank you, mother."

The girl quickly brought in a cup of porridge, and Shen Yanzhi took a sip. There was a faint sweet taste in the mouth, it was cool and refreshing, and it was delicious.Shen Yan sipped the porridge one mouthful at a time, and Mrs. Shen chatted with him absent-mindedly.

Shen Yanzhi saw that Mrs. Shen was worried, and said with a smile: "Mother seems to have something on her mind, but is there anything you want to tell me?"

Mrs. Shen looked at the girl in the room, and said: "You guys go down first, our mother and I can speak our own words."

Shen Yanzhi put down the cup, and said with a slight smile, "What's the matter? Why do you have to send the girls away?" Mrs. Shen forced a smile, and said slowly: "Yanzhi, you are also 16 years old this year. , is there any girl you like?

"

Shen Yanzhi suddenly understood, and said in a low voice: "Mother is worried, I have no plans to get married yet."

Mrs. Shen immediately became anxious when she heard the words: "I have no plans to get married? How can this be done? You are not young anymore, if you don't talk about getting married, you will have to

delayed. "

Shen Yanzhi smiled lightly: "Where is the delay? My brother is one year older than me, isn't it the same thing that hasn't been married yet? Mother is too worried."

Mrs. Shen paused when she heard the words, with a distressed look on her face, and sighed: "How can this be the same? He... your brother is distinguished, and he runs a shop that is so profitable. As long as he wants to get married, he will never know How many girls are willing to marry him. Besides, I don't want you to get married right away, you can get married first."

The smile on Shen Yanzhi's face gradually faded: "I know mother is worried about me, but please don't mention the matter of getting married. Now I live a very good life and am content. Besides, my brother is still in the palace, so I don't care about it." Think about this kind of thing, let's talk about it after brother leaves the palace."

Mrs. Shen took a deep look at Shen Yan when she heard the words, she hesitated to speak.

Shen Yanzhi said lightly: "Mother can just say what she wants to say."

"You..." Mrs. Shen seemed ashamed to speak, she raised her eyes to look at Shen Yanzhi, and saw that his expression was calm, she still asked with teeth: "What is your relationship with Xie Mingyu?"

Shen Yanzhi smiled lightly: "Mother asked, where did you hear any gossip?"

Mrs. Shen shook her head: "I guessed it myself. You and him...were a little too close when we got along."

Shen Yanzhi didn't deny it, and smiled slightly: "Well, it's just what mother thought."

Mrs. Shen was just guessing at first, but she didn't expect Shen Yanzhi to admit it. She couldn't help but widen her eyes, with a shocked and incredible expression on her face: "You... how could you do such a thing!"
