"I wanted to talk while eating. Since it's a festival, we don't follow the rule of not talking after eating."
Xiao Yuchen smiled slightly, "Since you are worried, I will make it clear.
"It's just about organizing the talented girl competition for the princess. Let's have fun during the New Year and it has nothing to do with government affairs. Don't be so nervous, adults!"
"Excuse me for your trouble." Wen Jin nodded and thanked him in advance.
So that’s what happened!
No wonder there are rumors in Kyoto that Prince Huai has been obsessed with the princess, and he is obsessed with it.
It seems the rumors are true.
"Prince Huai really loves the princess!"
"What a wonderful story! What a wonderful story!"
King Huai wanted to pamper the princess, so they came to listen to the fun and have a good meal!
This is a gluttonous feast that cannot be eaten anywhere else!
eat! If you don’t eat, you won’t eat for free!
Several adults "expressed their feelings" and stepped into the palace one after another.
Outside, I can already smell the aroma of the pot.
Entering the house, the scent is even stronger.
"This name is antique pot." Xiao Yuchen showed how to eat the pot.
"The pots in front of you are all mandarin duck pots, half spicy and half tomato. Whatever you want, whatever!"
Xiao Yuchen’s “brunch” is the pot.
Although I never get tired of eating hot pot, I can’t afford to eat it twice a day.
After taking a few bites, he stopped with his chopsticks, picked up the white jade melon on the side, and started eating it.
"Huh? This melon is sweeter than previous years. Is it stored in the cellar on Zhuangzi?"
Xiao Yuchen asked Wen Jin.
Wen Jin nodded slightly, "Yeah..."
At first, several officials who remained reserved tasted the mutton and vegetables cooked in the butter pot.
It’s spicy, let’s take another bite of refreshing fruit!
Tsk! This taste will not change even if the gods come!
"Is there an empty seat? Which adult is not here?" Wen Jin asked.
"The Minister of Rites declined." Xiao Yuchen said.
The other five ministers all shook their heads secretly at this time, laughing at the Minister of Rites for being too cautious!
The Minister of Rites refused to come. It must have been to avoid suspicion, fearing that people would say that he was in cahoots with King Huai for personal gain!
King Huai is so heroic and short-tempered now, how can he still have the energy to form cliques and pursue selfish interests?
The Minister of Rites missed a meal in vain, a delicious meal that is hard to see anywhere else!
If after dinner, you can pack another piece of melon and fruit to take back... wouldn't it make your family happy too?
The five ministers who came were thinking happily.
Xiao Yuchen cleared his throat, "I invite you here today because I want to invite you to be the mentors of the five teams in the Talented Girl Competition!
"There are four judges for the competition, including two mysterious judges, Mr. Qi and Mrs. Shen."
The five ministers put down their chopsticks and looked at King Huai suspiciously.
"Team mentor?"
They looked at each other, what is that?
Wen Jin explained: "Five adults select the talented women they value and form a team of thirty people.
"Then, the five adults formed an army and sent out troops to fight. After layers of selection, we will see which talented woman can win the title in the end.
"The five gentlemen are both generals and commanders-in-chief, and they are also their bosses."
Snap...
An adult's chopsticks fell on the food table.
He has already eaten two plates of food and two plates of meat...can he vomit it out?
Listen, why is this so mysterious?
Is it really apolitical?
"Oh, most of these talented women are not rich!"
"I am an official of the imperial court! To be a mentor is unethical! It is unbecoming!"
"Yes, this makes everyone in the world laugh when they see it!"
The five ministers shook their heads.
"Why don't you ask who the two mysterious judges are?" Xiao Yuchen said with a smile.
Everyone was startled and asked quickly: "Who is it?"
Xiao Yuchen took a bite of the melon and chewed it slowly.
"The mysterious judges can't say anything for sure. They can't say anything until the day of the competition!"
"..."
Then you still mention it!
But everyone thought again, "Well, could it be..."
Could it be the Holy One?
So they have to follow the will of the Holy Spirit?
"Today, there are about three hundred talented women in total. There are only about fifty of them, and they are the most famous women in the flower house.
"The rest are the daughters of concubines and concubines from various families, and their families are innocent." Wen Jin explained.
Xiao Yuchen laughed and said, "Why are you so nervous? The court has already gone on holiday! This is the New Year, it is entertainment, not going to court."
"This is only a few days of excitement during the New Year. When the annual holiday is over, the excitement will be over."
The tense mood of several people was relieved by Xiao Yuchen's laughter.
But...if it has nothing to do with politics, why does it have to be just a few of them?
Isn’t it enough for Mrs. Shen, Mr. Qi and others to be judges?
What kind of team mentor do you want?
“Some of these girls have real talents, and some may just be joining in the fun.
“So we need a few mentors with precise vision, strength and courage to select talented women with real talents and practical knowledge.
"This way the game will be more exciting and more enjoyable to watch!"
Wen Jin seemed to see their doubts and explained calmly.
"Oh..." Several nodded.
Wen Shangshu frowned, "I have to work hard during the New Year. Although it is lively, it is also tiring..."
What he wants to ask is, what benefit does the time and labor have to them?
Everyone understood and looked at Wen Shangshu with a half-smile.
“First of all, after forming a team, the votes of each team belong to each team.
"Finally, the bonus for becoming the leader will be distributed and used by the team mentor."
After Wen Jin finished speaking, he asked someone to take out the account book.
"This is the voting support record of the top-ranked talented women in the past two days."
"Hey, five million votes per person! That's five million dollars?!"
There is not much difference between first and second place.
It can be said that within the top twenty, there is not much difference...
One person can get five million dollars worth of votes...a team, thirty people! How much is that?
"Of course, part of the money must be used to pay taxes." Wen Jin said.
The expressions of the five adults changed slightly.
It turns out that she still pays taxes!
No wonder the emperor turned a blind eye!
No wonder I heard that the imperial censor was planning to participate in a performance of King Huai, but the performance was discontinued!
"Do you have any other concerns?" Xiao Yuchen smiled slightly.
"Uh... by holding these women in such high regard, doesn't it seem like overly elevating women's status?" the Minister of Punishment said, holding his chin.
"If the whole country follows this trend...where will it put the dignity of men?"
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
Just listen to the antique pot, gurgling and bubbling.
Wen Jin's heart tightened...
The true purpose is discovered!
She just wants to improve the status of women!
But there is no intention to trample on the dignity of men...
"Hmph!" Xiao Yuchen's face sank and he slammed the table.
When he smiled, everyone felt the atmosphere was relaxed.
At this moment, everyone immediately fell silent.
"Are you disparaging this king?!" Xiao Yuchen said sharply.
The Minister of Punishment frowned and quickly stood up and left the dining table.
He knelt down and saluted, "Xiaoguan... I have absolutely no such intention!"
This Rakshasa Prince!
He grimaced, but he was still so scary!
Who said he was a hero short of breath?
That didn't hit the point that he cared about...
The atmosphere was tense, and no one dared to breathe.
Xiao Yuchen suddenly burst out laughing, "I am joking with you!
"Look, I have great respect for the princess. There are rumors that I am 'sexy and stupid'. Has it really affected my majesty?
"Do you dare to trample my dignity under your feet?"
