When threading a needle towards the moon, there are still seven needle holes, but the needle holes are from big to small, which means that it not only tests eyesight but also craftsmanship.

There are a total of fifteen girls competing in the competition. They are all unmarried girls. Many elders in the family will pick out the contestants on the competition, and then learn about their identities and backgrounds before proposing marriage to them.

Although this is only a show for ordinary civilian girls, some outstanding girls will be noticed by some dignitaries and nobles.

Therefore, the girls who are trying to be clever are also very serious and hardworking.

In the process of competing in cleverness, some girls may not be strong enough and get their fingers pricked by needles, some may choose to continue, and some may choose to withdraw because of shyness.

About a quarter of an hour later, a girl raised the chess piece in her hand, which meant that she had passed through all seven needle holes.

The person in charge immediately went forward to check, and then said loudly: "The one who got it right is Chen Wanwan."

Once the clever contestant comes out, the contest will be over.

The reputation of the clever person will spread throughout Shengjing, greatly increasing his right to choose a spouse.

And you will also receive corresponding rewards.

When the lucky winner walked up to the stage to receive the reward, everyone saw her beauty, which was very beautiful and gentle. Many unmarried men present were moved and came forward to give her their flowers. There were notes in the flowers, which usually mentioned the men's family background so that the girls could get to know them.

If the girl is interested in any of them, she should write back to them.

Of course, there are also parents who give flowers on behalf of their children.

The girls were filled with envy when they saw the winner’s arms full of flowers.

At this time, a nobleman brought a small box of silver ingots and a large bouquet of flowers to Miss Deqiao, and said affectionately: "Miss Chen, I fell in love with you at first sight. This little bit of silver is just a gift. If you are willing to marry me, I will give you another box of silver ingots. Are you willing?"

Such a bold way of courtship shocked everyone present.

Judging from Miss Deqiao's shy expression, she was obviously moved.

After all, the young man has a good appearance and seems to be quite gentle.

"Then may I ask, Mr. Su, are you going to marry my daughter as your principal wife?"

The girl asked in a low voice.

Although she was the daughter of a commoner family, she was born to the main wife, and her parents were very loving and had no concubines. Her parents would never let her marry into a wealthy family as a concubine.

She wouldn't either. All she wanted in her life was to live a simple and peaceful life like her parents, without seeking wealth or fame.

"A girl as gentle, polite and skillful as this should naturally be married to be the principal wife."

Mr. Su answered with a very positive answer, and his words were full of affection.

"Girl, don't believe him. He is lying to you. He just wants to marry you to his dead elder brother as his ghost wife."

Suddenly, a clear and angry voice sounded, causing everyone present to be stunned.

"Xi Meng!"

Lin You was stunned when he saw Xi Meng jumping onto the stage in indignation.

Not only her, everyone else was confused.

The key point is that Shen Yin was not with her.

"Where did this crazy woman come from? This is complete nonsense."

When Master Su was exposed, his expression changed immediately.

"Haha, I just heard you and your mother say this with my own ears." Xi Meng sneered.

[System, is this true?]

[It's true. Xi Meng was angry just now and deliberately avoided Shen Yin. In the dark corner, the mother and daughter didn't notice her.]

[Moreover, in the original plot, after this girl was married to Master Su, she was indeed treated as his ghost wife by his elder brother, and died with regrets.]

[Fuck, this big liar actually dared to blatantly cheat on marriage! Damn it! Bastard! ]

Miss Deqiao was still wondering whether what Ximeng said was true, when she suddenly heard these words.

These two voices sounded in her mind. Could it be that some fairy came down to earth?

"you……"

"call out--"

Suddenly, an arrow shot towards Ximeng. Shen Yinlai, who was in the crowd, narrowed his eyes. He immediately jumped forward with a sword in his hand, waved away the arrow, and fell to the ground holding Ximeng.

For a moment, everyone present screamed and fled in chaos.

On the observation deck, Shen Jing'an subconsciously pulled Lin You into his arms, and Lin Zhan and Commander Lu protected them.

"Escort me!"

Commander Lu shouted, and all the imperial guards gathered around.

"Commander Lu, go help Xi Meng and the Fourth Prince."

Lin You ordered.

There was no such thing in their plan.

"My lady, if I go, who will protect you?"

More and more arrows were shot at the observation deck, but Commander Lu was unwilling to leave.

"Go quickly."

Lin You's face turned cold.

[System, check quickly to see what's going on. ]

【it is good. 】

After Commander Lu left, Lin Zhan and Lin Tianchu protected Shen Jingan and Lin You.

The rest of the people also have their own people to protect them.

But many of the imperial guards had been injured.

A group of people hid in the house.

Some people were so panicked that they fell off the observation deck and hit the people below. Lin You glanced at them accidentally and was shocked.

Shen Jingan held her tightly in his arms and said, "Watch the road."

At this time, the attacks on their side were much less, but the situation on Ximeng's side below was becoming increasingly dangerous. Almost all the arrows were shot at the two of them.

It was obvious that he wanted to kill Ximeng.

Killing Xi Meng in Dasheng would be of no benefit to Dasheng or Xizhou, so the only option is...

[Host, I found out that he is the person Nanchen bought before. He wants Xi Meng to die and start a war between Xizhou and Dasheng.]

[What a great Nanchen, he has quite a few tricks up his sleeve. ]

It's both a Gu and a secret bribe to the killer.

[Does Shen Yu know about this?]

【do not know. 】

[Even Li Fanghua didn’t know.]

When Shen Jingan heard this, his cold amber eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Nanchen, the son of the fake eunuch, haha, I guess you must be feeling bad right now.

After knowing that Nanchen was not the descendant of the Green Emperor, Shen Jing'an secretly ordered someone to write a secret letter about this matter and send it to the Nanyu Kingdom.

By now, it must have been delivered to the Qing Emperor.

Shen Jing'an glanced into the darkness and asked Yan Lu to go to Shen Yinlai.

It is enough for him to have Feiyan Feimie and Yanzhi.

Li Fanghua looked at the chaos with a calm expression and a smile on his face.

It is obvious that this is Nanchen's work.

She has been with Nanchen for so long and knows him very well.

These killers are all from Dasheng. If Emperor An finds out, he will be unable to do anything to the Nanyu Kingdom.

I have to say this strategy is pretty good.

But didn't Concubine Chan say that Emperor An had been poisoned?

Why is there no movement yet?

Logically speaking, Nanchen and his team should have arrived in Nanyu Kingdom by now, and the plan should have been implemented. Once the control of the Gu begins, Emperor An will definitely behave abnormally.

This is indeed a bit strange.

Could it be that Concubine Chan was deceiving them?
