What the person behind the curtain said was sincere and righteous, and Fang Xu was so angry that he almost tore the veil in his hand.
"You wait aside for now, wait until others have finished competing, and then make a decision."
A wave of the hand behind the curtain decided Xie Li's life or death.
Xie Li's face didn't look very good, but he still held back his temper, bowed in agreement, and stood aside.
Fang Xu's face darkened, and he sat on the stone bench thinking about countermeasures.
When she was at a loss, she met Xie Li's eyes again. The latter gently shook his head at her to signal her to calm down.
Seeing his son's calm and calm appearance, Fang Xu also calmed down his thoughts.
That's all, she can still trust Xie Li's IQ.
The remaining four groups simply went through a few tricks to determine the winner.
"Madam, Mr. Shao is still inside." Su Zi stood behind Fang Xu and whispered.
Fang Xu raised his chin slightly and his eyes fell on Shao Yunzhi not far away.
Just now she saw clearly that the other groups were simply passing a few moves, but this boy from the Shao family was the only one who used ruthless moves. In order to win, he even used underhanded moves.
Fortunately, the boy he was competing with noticed something was wrong and left the field after showing his weakness. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known how he would have been dealt with.
Xie Li also noticed something strange about this group and felt a little wary.
"Five winners have been decided here, plus Mr. Yongcheng, there are six people left."
The little eunuch came out with Fusheng in his arms, with a smile on his face, "The next step is Biwen. They are still in pairs. The princess will make a pair. The one who answers first wins."
The six people understood the rules, and Xie Li consciously walked to Lian Yan's side.
As soon as I got closer, I heard him muttering to the side.
"It's over, it's over, I don't have the brain, what should I do now!"
Xie Li glanced at him and stood there calmly.
"Hey, Xie Li, are you right?" Seeing him coming, Lian Yan looked excited and asked as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Yes." Xie Li didn't look at him, looking straight into the distance.
"Then can you take me with you?" Lian Yan's eyes lit up instantly and he asked in a low voice.
Xie Li glanced at him suspiciously, "Master Lian, you and I are rivals."
"What's wrong with you?" Lian Yan tsked lightly, with a nonchalant look on his face, "I can tell, you clearly don't want to stay here. Just now the princess asked you to stay, but you weren't even half happy."
Xie Li didn't say anything, just thinking that he was a second-generation grandfather who was favored by everyone's wealthy family.
This kind of character, at best, is straightforward and frank, but at worst, it sounds like his brain has been kicked by a donkey.
"What Young Master Lian said is absolutely true." Xie Li stopped looking at him and stood up straight, "But even though I don't want to marry the princess, I can't hide my clumsiness."
Although he was just a princess choosing a son-in-law, with so many people watching, if he acted stupid, wouldn't he have the reputation of being the second young master of Yongcheng Houfu who was not good at literature and martial arts?
Once passed down to ten, ten passed down a hundred, how will he enter the court in the future?
Xie Li sighed softly and ignored the sighs of the people around him.
After a while, the little eunuch took the bamboo slips and threw out the pairs one by one from the person behind the curtain.
Lian Yan was the first to fail to keep up and ended up looking defeated.
Fang Xu watched Lian Yan return to his mother and was severely criticized.
"You scold!" Mrs. Lian twisted Lian Yan's ears, with an angry look on her face, and cursed in a low voice, "I told you to study hard, but where did you go? You didn't complete the order given by your father. , just wait for the punishment!"
Lian Yan was pinched so hard that he begged for mercy, "Mother! Mother, I know I was wrong!"
Mrs. Lian snorted, but still couldn't bring herself to say anything else. She loosened her hand from holding his ear and gently rubbed it for him, "You debt collector, you don't have such a big heart when you grow up. I really I owed you something in my previous life!"
Lian Yan knew he was in the wrong, so he lowered his head and said nothing.
The pairs were thrown out one by one, and the young masters present felt more and more tired and gave in one after another. Only Xie Li and Shao Yunzhi were left on the field.
Xie Li looked a little surprised and glanced at Shao Yunzhi on one side.
He didn't expect that this boy was so talented.
Shao Yunzhi noticed his gaze, turned to look at him, then sneered and spat on the ground.
Xie Li couldn't understand his sudden malice, so he just thought he was insane and didn't take it to heart.
"It's up to the two of you to answer this last question." The little eunuch pretended to be mysterious and read in a loud voice, "There are many mountains and green mountains."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Yunzhi's face instantly turned pale and he was shaking like chaff.
It was obvious that he couldn't handle it.
Shao Yunzhi secretly glanced at Xie Li, expecting that he would also give an empty question.
Xie Li's expression didn't move at all. After thinking for a moment, he opened his thin lips and said loudly, "The water is blue, the water is blue, the water is blue, the water is curved."
Right!
Fang Xu's lips curled up slightly, his back straightened, his brows and eyes filled with pride.
Look,
Look at her unrelated son, how awesome he is!
Seeing Xie Li's fluent answers, Mrs. Lian couldn't hold back her temper. She raised her hand and pinched Lian Yan again, "You bastard, look at me!"
Lian Yan looked excited, clenched his hands into fists, cheered for Xie Li, and then looked at his mother with a smile, "Fortunately, Xie Li won. I didn't look down on Shao Yunzhi when I came here, so I got out my bad breath, so happy!" "
It was obvious that he didn't take his own mother's words seriously.
Mrs. Lian sighed heavily and could only recite silently in her heart: She is the one who gave birth to her, and she deserves to be angry to death.
"Master Yongchenghou wins."
Shao Yunzhi stood aside, his face full of reluctance, his tightly clenched fists trembling.
"Then...it's you."
The gauze curtain was slowly opened, and the appearance of the person behind the curtain was reflected in everyone's eyes.
The girl is wearing an orange gold-woven fairy skirt, a lotus-colored shawl, a gold hairpin on her head, and green dots on her forehead. She is full of nobility, and her appearance is pretty and cute, but the arrogance between her eyebrows has been weakened a bit. Very cute.
Fang Xu looked at her and couldn't help but be speechless.
This is Dayan's most favored ninth princess, Yuan Mi.
"Your name is Xie Li?" Yuan Mi had a cold face, his eyes lingering on his face, his disgust deepening.
She really didn't understand why the mother-in-law made up her mind to marry this man.
Although he is the legitimate son of the Hou family, he is still the second legitimate son, and his father is dead!
Not only is there a widowed mother above, but there is also an eldest sister-in-law. She is really depressed!
Yuan Mi has never been able to hide his emotions since he was a child, and now he is even more angry and speaks in a more aggressive tone, "Tell your mother to prepare more betrothal gifts and arrange them from the West Market to the East Market, otherwise..."
Yuan Mi smiled coldly, "Be careful what I punish you for!"
Fang Xu: Grass!
She really can't stand her bad temper anymore!
Fang Xu slapped the handkerchief on the table, and just as he was about to stand up, he heard his son's voice.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to accept the princess's order." Xie Li clasped his hands in his fists and said softly, "I can't bear to look down here, but I have my own heart. I hope the princess will forgive me."
"You...do you belong to someone else?" Yuan Mi found it funny, "You're such an ugly guy that you deserve to like someone else. It's really interesting. What's that person's name?"
