After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

It was a good thing for Queen Wang that Lin Shaojin married Xiao Yunni, who came from a humble family. This way, the Zheng family and the King of Yue would not be able to form an alliance, and the Eastern Palace would have one less threat.

Queen Wang felt a little relieved, but she did not completely let down her guard...

When choosing a concubine this time, the Queen initially suspected that the Queen Mother wanted to win over Ning Moyu the most, but Ning Moyu's hand was broken and Lin Shaoshu didn't react at all, so it wasn't her!

And Wang Luoluo had already taken refuge in their Wang family, so the rest of the answer was obvious.

Zheng Shu, the external official that Lin Shaoshu actually won over was the Zheng family in Jinling!

The Zheng family that replaced the former top clan in Jiangnan...

Queen Wang hated Lin Shaoshu and the Queen Mother's scheming. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: she must not let Zheng Shu win in the remaining three competitions.

Wang Luoluo is her confidant. If she can marry into Prince Heng's mansion, she will be able to monitor Prince Heng and foil the Queen Mother's plan, killing two birds with one stone.

While thinking, she whispered a few words to her confidant...

Before the second match began, Xiao Xuetang saw Xiao Yunni rushing over with a murderous look on her face, and quickly grabbed Lin Xun's arm.

Xiao Yunni was originally planning to bring charges against him, but when she saw Lin Xun beside Xiao Xuetang, she was so scared that she stopped.

He could only use his eyes to accuse her, and gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Xuetang, just wait for me!"

Xiao Xuetang touched his nose guiltily and moved closer to Lin Xun.

Lin Xun was slightly happy that Xiao Xuetang took the initiative to approach him, but he turned around and saw the eye-to-eye fight between the two girls. He said helplessly, "You deliberately let Xiao Yunni participate just now. Was it intentional?"

Xiao Xuetang still had Lin Xun as his backer, so naturally he didn't hide anything. Lin Xun asked in confusion: "Why do you want to do this? Are you trying to use Xiao Yunni to stir up trouble?"

It has to be said that Lin Xun knew Xiao Xuetang quite well in some aspects. He knew that although Xiao Xuetang was someone who always wanted to create chaos in the world, he never did anything useless.

Xiao Xuetang said quietly, "Do you think Xiao Yunni is capable of stirring up trouble in Jiufan Mountain? Asking Xiao Yunni to participate is, at best, just my attempt to fish in troubled waters and help others achieve their goals."

Xiao Yunni met the wrong people in her two lives, but Lin Shaojin was deeply in love with her.

Now that Xiao Yunni has lived a new life, she is still confused. Although Lin Shaojin has come to her senses, his attentiveness has never been to the point. Xiao Xuetang simply takes the opportunity of the concubine selection banquet to make things work for both of them.

Xiao Xuetang is now an ordinary person. She no longer thinks about deep hatreds or tragic love in past and present lives. She just wants the people she loves around her to have a happy ending.

Lin Xun lowered his eyes and saw the smile on Xiao Xuetang's lips. It looked a little silly, but it made him inexplicably moved...

Just when the atmosphere was just right, a head suddenly popped out between the two of them!

Lin Shaojin happened to hear what Xiao Xuetang said, and was grateful in his heart, and hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you, little aunt."

Lin Xun...

When Lin Shaojin met Lin Xun's cold gaze, he felt a chill on his back and quickly ran to find Xiao Yunni.

While the fight was going on here, the result of the second game on the Phoenix Stage came out. The winner was not Zheng Shu, who was previously famous in Little Penglai, but the little-known Wang Luoluo!

Zheng Shu's face looked a little ugly. Seeing that her cousin Lin Shaojin didn't care about her at all and was only concerned with flirting with Xiao Yunni, a fool who had no redeeming qualities except for his face, she became so angry that she almost couldn't maintain her gentle appearance.

"Miss, calm down."

"This chess game is not your forte, you will have to show your skills in painting later."

Xiaohe, the maid beside Zheng Shu, hurriedly tried to comfort her, and she finally calmed down her anger.

When the third match started, the one competing was Danqing...

Wang Luoluo, who had already obtained a branch of phoenix flower, and Zheng Shu, who was quite talented, became the focus of everyone's attention.

Queen Wang glanced at the maid beside her, and obviously felt that Wang Luoluo was a sure win, so she was in the mood to talk to Xiao Xuetang.

"Ms. Xiao, don't forget the bet you made with me."

"Now Xiao Yunni and Wang Luoluo have each won a round. If Luoluo wins this round, then you, Miss Xiao, will lose. Don't forget what you promised me."

Listening to Queen Wang's smug voice, Xiao Xuetang said calmly, "Your Majesty, it's only the third game. It's too early to say this now."

Queen Wang looked at Xiao Xuetang with disdain and said, "You are just being stubborn."

But Queen Wang was still in a good mood. After all, Emperor Yonghui was here today, and as long as Wang Luoluo won, she could grant the marriage on the spot.

By then, Lin Shaoshu's princess will be hers, and she can keep an eye on Lin Shaoshu's every move. If Xiao Xuetang loses, Lin Xun will have to help the prince.

In this trip to Jiufan Mountain, Donggong is the biggest winner!

Under Queen Wang's ambitious gaze, the third ink painting competition ended...

It’s still Wang Luoluo’s painting of butterflies flying through peonies, and it wins!

Wang Luoluo's and Zheng Shu's paintings are similar, both are pictures of flowers, but Zheng Shu's picture of flowers has a good structure, but the colors are very gaudy and cannot compare with Wang Luoluo's elegant and coordinated one.

Even if you are not a master of painting, it is obvious which one is better between Wang Luoluo and Zheng Shu's paintings!

No one expected that Wang Luoluo, who did not participate in the Xiao Penglai competition and only knew how to flatter Wang Yueying, would make a big splash and win two games in a row.

"I've never heard of any famous children of the Taiyuan Wang family, but I didn't expect that their daughter is such a prodigy."

"Yes, Wang Luoluo picked two branches of phoenix flowers. It seems that Princess Heng must be hers."

Some people also said sourly: "What kind of genius is this? He is just leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade."

Everyone can tell at a glance who this big tree is...

However, after the Taiyuan Wang family came to Beijing, they began to curry favor with the Eastern Palace. If Prince Heng marries a daughter of the Wang family, it would not be a marriage, but an enemy, right?

But today's Phoenix Terrace competition was authorized personally by the Empress Dowager to the Empress, with the Emperor Yonghui's blessing.

If Prince Heng refuses, it would be tantamount to disobeying the order.

Amid the mixed reactions from the crowd, Wang Luoluo raised a secret smile and looked at Zheng Shu...

Zheng Shu's face turned pale, and she burst into tears. She knelt before Emperor Yonghui and said, "Your Majesty, someone has tampered with my painting tools. Please investigate."

Before Emperor Yonghui could speak, the empress angrily shouted, "Shut up!"

"I personally ordered people to prepare these painting tools. Do you think I am framing you?"

Zheng Shu was immediately frightened and pale, and said, "I dare not."

The Queen snorted heavily and said, "Ms. Zheng, you have to accept the loss. Don't make excuses if you are not as skilled as others. Think about what happened to Ning Moyu..."

Thinking of the embarrassing scene of Ning Moyu having his hand crippled and being dragged away, Zheng Shu shuddered and dared not mention the frame-up anymore.

However, Xiao Xuetang noticed that the sleeves of the eunuch behind the queen were stained with some cinnabar powder.

Adding cinnabar to pigment can change the color.

Just as Xiao Xuetang was lost in thought, Queen Wang could no longer conceal her pride and was about to prepare for the fourth match so that Xiao Xuetang would accept defeat with conviction...

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Princess Jiuge, who had been silent, stood up and said, "Queen, can I participate in the last game?"

The queen was a little surprised, and even the eldest princess couldn't help but ask, "Why, Princess Jiuge also has a crush on Prince Heng?"

Jiuge said: "Your Highness, Princess, I am not interested in Prince Heng, but His Highness the Prince Regent."

"So, in the last match, I want to compete with her!"

Everyone followed Princess Jiuge's provocative gaze and looked at Xiao Xuetang beside Lin Xun...
