Help!The icy grandpa has moved my heart

Chapter 368 Accuracy
When Qu Fulan and Princess Qing returned to the banquet, the two sides were fighting openly and secretly.

Just after dancing on one side, playing and singing on the other side, and then all the poems and songs are presented.

Those gifted scholars and beauties who performed on stage performed very well, and those who were evenly matched with each other were all very powerful.

These gifted scholars and beauties who can be on the stage already have some talent and fame, plus they have a good family background, otherwise how could they stand out on such an occasion?

But in fact, talented people without family background can also perform on stage, provided that they are particularly talented and get reused.

It is not good for women, without a good family background, there is no condition to learn various skills from an early age, let alone attend such a banquet.

After all, being able to perform on such an occasion is really a matter of face. If a woman performs well, not only will she be famous in the circle, but it will also be beneficial to her future marriage.

The same is true for men, who can gain fame and wealth, which will be beneficial to their career in the future.

And this time the palace banquet also invited many new imperial examination candidates, including Chen Zhengsheng.

When he was still a scholar, he was already well-known in the circle. Later, Qu Fulan held that event, and the later "Zai Huaben" made him shine again. Later, he was admitted to Juren. Although he was not Jieyuan, he was The grades are also good, the master is in his fancy, when choosing to enter the palace, he was chosen.

The poem he wrote just now is very good, even the emperor nodded in satisfaction. This is to leave a good impression in front of the emperor, and it will be of great help to the palace examination in the future, otherwise so many people would not be able to get in.

"Why did Nanny Lai look at you like that just now?"

The seats of Princess Qing and Prince Qing were right next to Pei Ji'an's table, and Qu Fulan and Princess Qing could whisper to each other just by poking their heads.

Hearing Princess Qing's words, Qu Fulan thought about the incident when she bumped into Nanny Lai just now, Nanny Lai looked at her in astonishment, as if she mistook her for someone.

After all, Qu Fulan had never met Nanny Lai, so it was impossible for him to know her, so the other party's eyes could only be explained in this way.

Later, a court lady came and said that the Queen Mother was looking for Nanny Lai, and she and Princess Qing left.

"Maybe they mistook me for someone." Qu Fulan said.

After thinking about it, Princess Qing thought it was possible, so she didn't care about it anymore, and turned her eyes to the stage again.

Because the performances of both sides in the early stage had their own characteristics, and no one would lose to the other, some impatient people couldn't sit still, and wanted to determine the exact winner. A girl dressed in martial arts stood up on the opposite side. Putting his hands on his chest, he bent down and saluted the emperor, then said.

"How boring is it to write these literary poems and songs all the time? It's better to come up with something different."

"What's different? You don't want to have a horseback riding archery, do you? This is not the right occasion."

This is the habitual thinking of the public. When you see someone practicing martial arts, you think that they want to show something related to martial arts.

But the woman said, "Who said it must be archery on horseback? Don't underestimate people, I know a lot of things, I'm afraid you haven't seen it and can't keep up."

"Then tell me what it is? As long as you can tell, there must be someone on our side who can accompany you."

I don't even know what the project is, so let's talk big first, and I won't be afraid of being slapped in the face when the time comes, Qu Fulan thought to himself.

You must know the cultural differences between the two countries. When people really come up with something new, there may not be anyone here who can keep up.

The girl smiled confidently and walked to the center of the arena without any hesitation.

There are some girls with bold and unrestrained personalities in every place, not to mention every country. This girl looks like a person who does not stick to small rules. Look, you know.

The woman first reported her family name, and it turned out that she was a princess from a foreign country, no wonder she was so unrestrained.

"If my next performance is unmatched by others, I will be considered a winner. Then I ask the emperor to agree with us for the purpose of this trip."

The so-called envoys must be sent out on occasion, but it is too casual to agree to the other party's conditions because of a small game.

It's just forced by the situation, if you don't agree, people will say that Da Jin can't afford it.

So the emperor waved his hand and agreed. In fact, he also believed that he had a lot of talents on his side, and it was impossible to lose to the other party.

The princess got the approval, and took out one thing-cards.

That is, poker.

The Jin State often trades with other countries, so it is no stranger to this game. Even the local area has similar entertainment, but it has another name-leaf card.

The "leaf card" is the size of two fingers, 8 cm long and 2.5 cm wide. It is made of silk and paper, and the pattern is printed with woodblock.

It is said that the playing cards in other countries are still transformed from leaf cards.

and so--

"What's new about this thing?" the people of this dynasty asked.

The princess smiled and said triumphantly, "Whether it's new or not, just watch me play for a while and you'll know. Maybe it will open your eyes."

"How to play?" The man thought he was going to play cards in public.

The princess looked at the man with an expression that you really didn't know, "I need someone to sit across from me and take the cards for me. Since you speak so positively, then you come."

What he said seemed to turn people into obedient slaves.

The man was a little angry, but after the emperor nodded, he still went up and sat opposite the princess. What can a mere deck of cards do?

After listening to what the princess said, Qu Fulan who was drinking tea narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene again, why is this scene so familiar?
Sure enough, what the princess did next allowed Qu Fulan to confirm his conjecture.

I saw that the princess first checked the cards for the person on the opposite side, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with it, she began to shuffle the cards in public, even shuffling them three times, then put them on the table, and said to the person opposite, "Now Please draw out a card at random, you can see it yourself, or you can show your people what card it is, but you don’t need to show it to me, and then put it back and reshuffle the cards, please.”

The man randomly drew a card, Seven of Hearts, looked at it himself first, then showed it to the people on their side, and then put the card back.

No need to look down, Qu Fulan knew what the final result would be. In the end, the princess would definitely find out this person's cards accurately, no matter how many times she shuffled the cards.

Sure enough, after the princess shuffled the cards a few times in public, she asked the person opposite, "Now, please name any number from one to fifty."

The man said twenty.

The princess counted out nineteen cards in public, and then spread out the last one in front of everyone, which was indeed the Seven of Hearts.

Not only the eyes of the people on the opposite side widened in astonishment, but even the audience who had seen the hole cards before, also made sounds of astonishment one after another.

"It's amazing, how did she do it?"

"Could it be that she knows magic?"

"It's too powerful, it should be able to spell, it's a god!"

……

Hearing these discussions, Qu Fulan felt speechless for a while, and all the theories about immortals came out. He really wanted to destroy his own prestige by spoiling others' ambition.

I don't even look at the emperor's face turning green.

Because he also thinks that the opponent's game is a bit strong, and he can't find any flaws at all. Looking at the people below, everyone has an eye-opening expression, and he expects them to be able to compare with the opponent?

The princess spoke again, "If no one can challenge, then I will be considered the winner, please—"

"and many more."
