Chapter 244: First place, Uranara·Wuge
Everyone gathered around him immediately.
Another young eunuch shouted in the martial arts field: "The results of the martial arts test are out."
Some parents were waiting impatiently and said, "I'd better tell you quickly, I'm so anxious."
"The emperor hasn't come yet, so it's useless no matter how anxious you are."
…
Just as he was talking, a voice came from outside: "The Crown Prince has arrived!"
"The Crown Princess has arrived!"
The prince joined hands with the princess, the newlyweds came over full of joy.
The Crown Princess had a rosy complexion, and her expression was both dignified and tinged with the charm of a first-time wife. She was naturally unparalleled in beauty for the moment.
Everyone salutes.
"Everyone, get up." The prince waved his hand casually, turned sideways and said something in the ear of the princess.
The Crown Princess nodded and responded with a smile, and the Crown Prince walked into the study room first.
Shi stayed and looked at everyone with a smile, nodding in greeting.
Finally, his eyes fell on Si Fujin, who was standing behind Concubine De. She walked elegantly towards Concubine De.
The other concubines exchanged glances silently.
After seven years of planning for the wedding, the Crown Princess finally entered the palace as scheduled.
According to the wishes of the emperor and the empress dowager, since Concubine Wen Xi died and there was neither a middle palace nor a high-ranking concubine in the harem, it was natural that the palace power should be handed over to the first prince of the Qing Dynasty and the future empress.
Previously, the palace power was equally divided among the four concubines. There was no guarantee that they would not join forces to retain the palace power they had held for many years.
Concubine Hesheli of Chuxiu Palace said coolly to Minbi: "It's a pity that Concubine De has just become the first of the four concubines. How long has it been before she is about to hand over the power in her hands? From now on, Empress Minbi will I don’t know if I can still sit firmly as the head of Chengqian Palace.”
When Shi became the crown princess, she was also a member of the Hesheli family.
Compared to Concubine De, who had no friendship with her, the Hesheli family naturally preferred the Shi family.
Shi is young and needs assistants when she first enters the palace and takes power, so isn't she ready-made as the concubine of Chu Xiu?
Naturally, Concubine Min saw through Hesheli's thoughts, and she just said softly: "Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. No matter what, I just obey the emperor's will and obey the arrangements."
The implication is that these are not things Hesheli can decide. So what can she do if she wastes her words?
Hesheli hit a soft nail and snorted coldly.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Crown Princess just nodded to Concubine De, and the two of them bowed.
...then there was no sound.
The scene of the fight that everyone expected did not appear at all.
Concubine De even gave way to the top position for the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess stood next to Si Fujin, taking half a step back.
It sounded like someone around him took a breath.
Lu Pheasant just looked at the familiar magnolia hairpin on the crown prince's hairpin.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and looked at each other with a smile.
The prince quickly came out of the study room, cleared his throat and said: "Khan Ama was going to patrol the Xindi and Haikou Road this morning. He was a step late, so he ordered me to come over first. Today's test results have been copied and sent to Qianqing Palace. .”
After saying this, a young eunuch came forward to post the list.
Parents once again rushed forward, but the list was too small, and not many people could squeeze in to see it.
This is not outside the palace, where servants can look at the list.
As nobles, they still have to be somewhat decent.
The examiner, who was wearing an azure official uniform, came out of the study room and began to read: "The total results of the competition among the brothers are as follows... The fourth place is the eleventh brother."
Everyone looked at the people in Yikun Palace.
Brother Eleven felt embarrassed and wanted to leave, but Concubine Yi grabbed him: "The emperor hasn't come yet, where do you want to go?"
Yinxun had no choice but to droop his face and lower his head with shame and anger in his eyes.
Concubine Yi comforted him and said: "It's not like you really know how to rank. Anyway, your haha beads are indispensable. What are you afraid of?"
The examiner continued: "Third place, Fourteenth Brother. Second place, Thirteenth Brother. First place, Twelfth Brother."
Someone laughed and said, "Could it be based on my brothers' rankings?"
"Can you count? That means you have to be in front of the eleventh brother."
"Yes, yes, I can't count."
…
When Brother Eleven heard this, his face flushed even more, turning green and white for a while, looking unnatural.
The Thirteenth Brother and the Fourteenth Brother looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes, and then tacitly pounced on the Twelfth Brother: "I didn't expect, Twelfth Brother, you are hiding so much!"
"That's right, it must have been an extraordinary performance in the literary test. Neither Thirteen nor I beat you."
The twelfth elder brother was stunned on the spot. Did he take first place?
"Am I actually number one?"
"Woof! Woof!" Silver Blade, who was guarding behind him, responded to him softly, seeming to be happy for his master.
Brother Twelve hugged Silver Blade: "Did you hear that? I won first place! Are you happy for me?"
Brother Thirteen and Brother Fourteen were stunned on the spot. We treat you as a brother, but you share happiness with Gouzi first?
Fine.
So they each ran towards their dear mother-in-law.
Min Bin praised her thirteenth brother very much.
Yinxiang bowed his head very humbly.
Brother Fourteen was also a little embarrassed: "Well, I, I only got third place."
Concubine De's eyes were full of gentleness: "You are the youngest and haven't learned as long as your brothers. It's not surprising that you lost to them."
Some people couldn't help laughing.
The fourteenth brother is indeed the youngest, and there is an eleventh brother who ranks at the bottom.
Brother Si also said: "You have been very serious these days, and time will witness your efforts in the future."
It was rare for Xiao Shisi to hear encouragement from his own brother, and his face turned red for a moment, and his chest stopped shrinking.
However, Lu Pheasant glanced at Wuge worriedly, as she would not be able to squeeze in with the female relatives.
Shi said gently: "Don't worry, you'll hear it soon."
At this time, the prince saw Shi's position and frowned. Why was she staying with Si Fujin again?
Shi noticed it, and after saluting, she returned to the prince and said something in his ear.
The prince put away his obvious displeasure.
Lu Zhi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Sister Shi was quite capable, but she was deaf... there was something!
On the other hand, every time she tried to coax her sweetheart, she got further and further away.
The examiner continued: "Haha, the top twenty candidates will be ranked. The twentieth place... the tenth place... the fifth place..."
Some are happy and some are sad.
After listening to it for so long, I still don’t have a name for Wuge.
Finally, the examiner read out the last name: "First place, Uranala Wuge."
Brother Si immediately smiled at Fujin: "Look, Wuge really lived up to everyone's expectations."
Wu Ge, like Brother Twelve, was stunned, and then he said happily: "I did it, sister, brother-in-law, I did it!"
Lu Pheasant gave his brother a big affirmation.
She just seemed to see Amma and her two brothers passing by in the periphery.
As infantry commanders and imperial guards, it was not surprising for them to sneak over and take a look.
She also said that she could just leave it to her. Even Enie never let her enter the palace. In the end, she didn't care about her youngest son.
Concubine De also praised: "Wuge is awesome!"
Wuge lowered his head. Concubine De was so gentle, unlike him who was crying in a hurry.
There was the sound of whipping outside.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Kangxi arrived and seemed to be in a good mood. After everyone was leveled, he asked the examiner: "How is it? The results are out. Can we start selecting candidates from each other?"
The examiner was about to nod...
But a clear voice sounded from below: "Your Majesty, I want to report that Ulanara Wuge is cheating."
