Chapter 50
The next day, Zeng Xiaoxiao secretly called on the queen under the pretext of coming to the harem to deliver things.

"Meet the Empress."

"Get up!"

As soon as the queen dismissed the concubines from the harem to pay her respects, she immediately received Zeng Xiaoxiao.

"Empress, look, this phoenix hairpin was made for you specially by me, do you like it or not." Zeng Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly, and began to squeeze the queen's shoulders without any hassle.

It seems to be familiar with the road.

"Your way is better."

The queen narrowed her eyes comfortably, with a faint smile on her lips.

"Empress, how is it?" Zeng Xiaoxiao asked impatiently.

"no problem."

"If I go out, doesn't that mean success?" The queen raised her eyebrows and smiled triumphantly.

"But you have to prepare well. The emperor asked you to compete with Princess Heshun. There are five skills in total. You will have to compete in seven days."

"Oh no, besides today, there are six more days."

"I'll give you the content and requirements of the competition later, take a look carefully."

After the queen finished speaking, she looked at Zeng Xiaoxiao sympathetically.

Seeing the queen's performance, Zeng Xiaoxiao also knew that the competition with Princess Heshun would definitely not be too easy.

"Empress, don't worry, I will be fine."

Zeng Xiaoxiao couldn't admit cowardice.

If you admit cowardly before it even started, isn't that in vain letting down the empress's efforts for her?

"That's good, I can bet you win."

The queen didn't say much, and hurriedly explained a few words before letting Zeng Xiaoxiao go back.

The emperor is so shrewd, if he sees that he and Zeng Xiaoxiao are conspiring together, he will definitely go crazy.

In Prince Zhong's Mansion.

"Qiu'er, come and tell me about female workers, embroidery, tea tasting, flower arrangement, and poetry."

Zeng Xiaoxiao hasn't come into contact with this since time travelling.

On weekdays, Zeng Kaizhi treats her like a pet, she learns if she is willing, and does not force her if she does not want to.

Anyway, just two words, "happy".

"Miss, aren't you the best at these things? Do you want a servant to tell you?"

While busy with work, Qiu'er talked to Zeng Xiaoxiao.

She is sorting out the accounts of Huangcheng Roast Duck these days.

Originally, she only had to be responsible for serving the young lady on weekdays.

Who knows that during this time, the lady asked her to learn to read accounts.

Although I don't know anything, but fortunately the young lady taught her by hand, she is not too stupid, and she learned it very quickly.

"I haven't been in touch for a long time, and I'm unfamiliar."

Zeng Xiaoxiao casually found an excuse and evaded it.

"Ah? It's okay to be unfamiliar. Others think you don't know anything. You've taught yourself in private anyway."

Qiu'er quickly made calculations and said something casually.

"But now I want to compete with that Princess Heshun. If I lose, my marriage will be gone, and my father will be ridiculed by the world."

Zeng Xiaoxiao sighed, his eyes full of worry.

Alas, it's all because I was playful when I was a child, and I didn't learn a single skill.

It is too difficult to win three out of five games.

"Then hurry up and invite the teacher to teach." Qiu'er finally raised her head, feeling the seriousness of the matter.

"It's too late, there are still six days."

Zeng Xiaoxiao said helplessly.

Female craftsmen and embroidery are two things I can't do myself.

But flower arranging, poetry and tea tasting can be learned temporarily.

I used to go to college by myself, and the teacher of the flower arrangement class said that I was talented.

As for poetry, I have been deeply influenced by the nine-year compulsory education since I was a child, and I just open my mouth to talk about poetry.

When it comes to tasting tea, my father is good at it, so why not let him teach me?

Zeng Xiaoxiao couldn't help feeling that she was really smart.

Now it's no problem to win three out of five games.

"Hey, Qiu'er, do you know Princess Heshun?" Zeng Xiaoxiao knew little about her.

She hoped to hear some news from Qiu'er.

At least be prepared.

"All I know is that she seems to be the number one talented woman in the imperial city." Qiu'er thought for a long time before uttering such a sentence.

"Miss, when you lose, I won't look down on you!" Qiu'er said excitedly.

As soon as the words came out, Qiu'er realized something was wrong, and quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

"Bah, bah, miss, I said the wrong thing." Qiu'er was teary-eyed, with a lovely and pitiful look.

"You have to say: Miss will win."

"do you know?"

"Wait for me to compete, you will cheer hard."

This little girl is really childish.

Zeng Xiaoxiao was not angry, she would not lose her temper to the person who took care of her because of such a trivial matter.

Suddenly, she remembered something.

If she guessed correctly, Princess Heshun does not belong to this era.

why?Maybe it's because of the "dead Barbie fan" she blurted out at the beginning.

Or, she can also make lipstick to please the queen and queen mother.

Although the production is not as exquisite as her own, she can make it successfully.

Thinking of this, she looked forward to the competition six days later.

Perhaps, after the written test, she can be more sure of Princess Heshun's identity.

When she was not sure whether she and she were on the same boat, this competition really helped her a lot.

Perhaps, she can know how to travel back?
I have been here for so long, I guess my parents must be very uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'm going to find my father."

When I thought about it, there was still something I hadn't done.

Zeng Xiaoxiao left a word and walked towards Zeng Kaizhi's study.

In the study room, candles were lit all night long, and inside the window, two figures were sitting together, discussing the tea ceremony.

Outside the window, the withered and yellow leaves fell one by one, and the cold wind blew the bare tree trunks.

In the house, the old and the young talked more and more vigorously.

Before I knew it, it was already morning.

"It's late, Dad, I'm going to rest."

Zeng Xiaoxiao devoted himself to the tea ceremony, and before he knew it, it had been several hours.

It turns out that tasting tea is really not that simple.

Fortunately, I am interested and understand quickly.

Not boring.

"Okay, go to bed early. Father will continue talking to you after the court tomorrow." Zeng Kaizhi said happily.

My daughter never liked to hear these things before.

It seems that she has completely changed her temper.

Not bad, sure enough, the daughter will follow her father after all.

After Zeng Xiaoxiao returned to her room, she rummaged through the boxes.

Although Dad talked a lot today, he was very patient.But there are still many places that I don't understand.

"found it!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao took the lamp and finally found a book called "Ancient and Modern Tea Ceremony".

Sure enough, the owner of this body is a talented woman.

He is knowledgeable and knowledgeable.

Smart and eager to learn.

Zeng Xiaoxiao put the lamp in his hand on the table next to him, and began to look through it.

"Oh? Is there something else between you?"

What caught my eye was a dried saffron, although it was a little yellow, but the color was still beautiful and eye-catching.

Saffron?How could she have such a thing?

Zeng Xiaoxiao threw away the saffron and read the book with peace of mind.

Not long after, she picked up the saffron again.

No, this is someone else's stuff, how can I just throw it away?

Thinking of this, Zeng Xiaoxiao put it back into the book.
