first princess

Chapter 9
Guo Rong pointed to the plum trees covered with colorful stripes one after another in the red plum garden, and said with a smile: "This is mainly a literary test, and each question has a corresponding score. Collecting [-] points in the shortest time is the Zhuge of this year's female high school. The three princesses won the first place in the year before last and last year, but this year the three princesses have already said that they will not participate and just watch, so the ladies of all families are eager to try. Get up, Linglong, you have to work hard!"

If Shui Linglong remembers correctly, this year's female high school Zhuge is Shui Lingxi. Shui Lingxi became famous overnight and was hailed as the number one beauty in the Zhou Dynasty. From then on, she stepped into Xun Feng's sight.It's ridiculous to think about it. Before meeting her, Xun Feng had already had a secret love for Shui Lingxi, but he held back and let Shui Lingxi marry the prince. If Xun Feng doesn't like Shui Lingxi, no matter how much Shui Lingxi seduces him, it won't help.

In this life, she will not let them be so happy!

Containing the churning thoughts in her heart, Shui Linglong smiled slightly: "Is there any reward for winning?"

Guo Rong laughed: "Of course there is, but the gift of Ruixue Villa is very mysterious, and it is not announced to the public. You will only know when you get it, but according to my past experience, there has never been a champion who was dissatisfied with the gift." Woolen cloth!"

This is true. Xun Feng's gifts generally vary from person to person. Don't look at them fighting outside, Xun Feng is actually hiding in a corner and watching for a moment. It is no exaggeration to say that Xun Feng has nearly half The contacts were obtained through Ruixue Villa.

During the conversation, the two had gone deep into the Red Plum Garden. There were not only daughters but also princes and princes' children here. Most of the men were on the sidelines, and they could also answer the questions, but no points were scored.The further you go, the more difficult the questions and the fewer people there are.

Under the tree where Shui Lingxi was, there were already many bystanders, including Prince Yunli.

The maid took down the colored strips that Shui Lingxi asked for, and read: "Send someone under the fence to make a living, type a word."

Shui Lingxi nodded and smiled, like silver frost and rain dew, exuding a trembling beauty, everyone looked distracted, and heard her voice sound like heaven: "Hold."

The maid handed the color strip to Shui Lingxi: "Congratulations, Miss Shui, you got another five points!"

Everyone cast envious glances at her. In just two quarters of an hour, she had scored [-] points and was far ahead. It seemed that Zhuge Zhuge was the only one in this year's female middle school.

Shui Lingxi took the colored strips, and looked at Yun Li shyly, Yun Li smiled warmly at her, but Yu Guang couldn't help following Shui Linglong.

Compared with the bustle of Shui Lingxi, Shui Linglong's location is simply "desert", not only because she is a concubine and has poor connections, but also because the big tree she chose is the innermost one, and no one dares to challenge it place.

Guo Rong looked at the bright red "Thirty Points", "Fifty Points", and "Seventy Points", swallowed her saliva, and said, "Uh...these questions are so difficult, the scores are so high."

How could she surpass Shui Lingxi in the shortest time with a low score?

After Shui Linglong declared her family, the maid did not neglect her because she was a concubine. The maid enthusiastically took down the ribbon that Shui Linglong asked for. The title was: There are three big boxes, red, yellow and blue.

The red box said, "I have the apple here."

The yellow box said, "I don't have the apple."

The blue box said, "The apple is not in the red box."

It is known that there is a saying that is true, which box is the apple in?

As soon as the words fell, everyone listened attentively. This topic is much more interesting than reciting poems, composing fus and guessing lantern riddles, but it is also really difficult!The concubine of the Shui family was too overwhelmed to dare to challenge such a difficult question.

At this time, Zhuge Yu strolled over from the courtyard and felt everyone's contemptuous gazes on Shui Linglong. For some reason, he was suddenly very angry!His face turned cold, causing the originally cold temperature to drop a bit, and everyone shrank their necks involuntarily.

Shui Linglong looked at him fixedly, very surprised, why did Zhuge Yu come?Didn't he never go to parties?

"Fantasy!" Zhuge Yu snorted softly, but he didn't feel disgusted by her unscrupulous sizing up. He stood beside her, with his hands behind his back, like a towering mountain, pulling away those who harbored malicious intentions. All eyes were blocked back.

Shui Linglong felt a lot easier on her forehead, it's rare that he doesn't dislike her in such an embarrassing situation, well, she doesn't care about the phrase "Nympho".She looked at the maid: "The apples are in the yellow box."

The maid said in surprise: "Congratulations Miss Shui, you got thirty points!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was boiling!

Shui Lingxi grabbed the hem of the dress tightly, almost tearing it apart, but in front of everyone, she smiled softly, and murmured softly, intentionally or unintentionally: "I don't know if it was a mistake."

The speaker was interested, and the listener was even more attentive. Lu Yiyi's expression darkened, and she said, "Who knows if you've been fooled?"

Shui Linglong said calmly: "First of all, we know that there is only one sentence that is true. The red box says that the apple is in it, while the blue box says that the apple is not in the red box. The two opinions are opposite, which means that one must be true and the other must be false. , no matter who is true and who is false, the remaining sentence must be false anyway.”

The rest is the words of the yellow box - the apple is not there.

The other way around is - the apple is there!

Everyone suddenly realized that it was so!
A hint of admiration flashed across Zhuge Yu's obsidian-like bright eyes, and he looked sideways at her. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she was really beautiful today. The light makeup outlined the outline of the facial features flawlessly, and her natural complexion was excellent. Now that the rouge is on, it is more like clouds reflecting snow, a gust of cold wind blows, and her fragrant hair flies to his face, scratching his heart like a feather, itchy and crisp, making people throb.Gradually, his body became hotter.

Shui Linglong tucked her hair behind her ears, and smiled at Zhuge Yu. When everyone looked down on her, only he stood firmly by her side. What does it matter if he is notorious?She is more inclined to make allies who will never leave in the face of adversity than sanctimonious hypocrites.

Yun Li also looked at Shui Linglong and Zhuge Yu at this time.A humble concubine, a dandy son, stand together but have an indescribable aura.

Shui Lingxi's knuckles turned white from pinching, and her face was particularly pale. She was still fifteen points away from becoming the champion.She must not lose!But just when she was about to answer the question, "shocking news" came not far away!
"Congratulations, Ms. Shui, you got [-] points on this question, and you got it right! You have become this year's female high school Zhuge!"

On a mountain tower not far away, a man in white stood leaning on a railing. His facial features were exceptionally handsome, his thick eyebrows slanted into his temples, his bright eyes were as deep as moors, he was calm and relaxed, and his manner was elegant, but his brows were slightly frowned, showing a slightly sleepy look. The color is dark, but there is also a faint sense of tenacious fighting spirit that is higher than the sky and competing for glory with the sun.

His eyes fixed on the direction of the Red Plum Garden without blinking. The green leaves of the Qiong trees and the red flowers were all over the branches, and she couldn't see her face clearly, only her graceful figure and her skirt fluttered like a fairy.

"Master Shizi, it's time to drink the medicine." Yue Bin handed over a bowl of dark soup. He was the same age as Shizi. Looking in the direction of the distance, he said, "That is the eldest daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, named Shui Linglong, she was the one who broke the Tianlong chess game you set up, I thought it was just a coincidence, how could the noble person in your destiny Is it a woman? When I saw her today, I knew I misjudged her."

"Women may not be inferior to men." Xun Feng coughed a few times, "Is she engaged to Zhuge Yu?"

Yue Bin thought for a while, and replied, "I'm in Hegeng post, and I haven't got Najib yet, so it's not an engagement. If the characters don't match, this marriage will not be possible."

Xun Feng took the medicine bowl and drank it expressionlessly, but his eyes never left the beautiful figure in the red plum garden for a moment.

There is a fish in Dark North, and its name is Kun.It turns into a bird, its name is Peng.The Kun is in the deep sea, no one knows its majesty, but the Peng flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.

Shui Linglong, if I help you go out to sea, can you skyrocket to ninety thousand miles?
Shui Lingxi lost the essay test, and naturally also lost the expectations of most people. The future princess concubine is actually no better than a little concubine, and she even loses a bit of face with Yunli. face.

There will be another martial arts test next, and it will be a game of jiju, that is, playing polo.Divided into the red team and the blue team, each team has five people, and hits the ball into the opponent's goal without being beaten. Although it is a team cooperation, whoever hits the most balls will be the martial arts champion of this session.The martial arts test selects the top ten in the literary test. If someone quits automatically, it will be postponed according to the score. Today, No. 10 just came to Kuishui, and the scores of No. 11, [-] and [-] are all the same, so After discussions between Prince Yunli and the organizing committee, it was decided that the third princess would fill the vacancy.

Red Team: Shui Linglong, Guo Rong, Yao Xin, Wu Xiwen and the Three Princesses.

Blue Team: Shui Lingxi, Chen Xuan, Lu Yiyi, Wu Lianer and Li Caiyun.

When the list of members came out, Zhuge Xi was stunned. He couldn't see that Linglong was so good, and she won the first place in the essay test all at once.She only hoped that the martial arts test would be over quickly, and the effect of the medicine would take an hour to fully take effect, she didn't want Shui Linglong to make a fool of herself in public.

The costumes, bats and horses for the game are all provided by Ruixue Villa. Different from the rooms of ordinary families, there is a special dressing room here. There is a large room, and the right side is divided into several small spaces by curtains and carved wooden boards. Walk through the aisle on the left in your clothes.

Guo Rong pulled Shui Linglong to the changing room, followed by two maids holding their clothes, Guo Rong suddenly turned around and took them with both hands: "I'll do it, you all step back."

"Yes!" The maid handed over the clothes.

"Why bother you? I'll get it myself." Shui Linglong said to pick up the clothes in Guo Rong's hand.

Guo Rong raised her arm: "You are the champion of the essay test, allow me to curry favor with you, okay?"

After speaking with a smile, she opened the curtain and entered the cubicle, put the clothes on the table, then turned her back to Shui Linglong, took out the medicine powder she had prepared, sprinkled it on the inside of the clothes lightly, and said: " The three princesses are in a team with us, our hope of victory is quite high, but if you want to compete for the championship in the martial arts test, you can't just focus on cooperating with the three princesses, I will pass the ball to you whenever I get it, you must score a few more goals ,Understand?"

Her voice was not loud, but she trembled so hard that she couldn't even notice it. After doing this, she walked out holding her own, and said with a smile, "I'm going to change it too, hurry up, it's about to start. "

Shui Linglong nodded with a half-smile, "Guo Rong, you are so kind to me, I don't even know how to repay you."

She smiled sweetly and innocently, but for some reason, Guo Rong shuddered, forced a smile, and entered her cubicle just now.

As soon as Shui Linglong's smile faded away, there really is no free lunch in the world. How can she, a little concubine, afford the olive branch of the Guo family's concubine?But she is not someone who can step on the soles of her shoes, just wait and see!

The competition venue was set on a large lawn to the east of the Red Plum Garden. The third princess had already put on a strong outfit and entered the venue. Even though she was just a substitute, her innate sense of royal superiority still made her become a red star without knowing it. team leader.

She looked at the group of people who rode their horses and smiled pleasantly: "Who is Shui Linglong?"

In the previous life, the fate of the princess of the royal family was not very good. First, she married a mighty general as his wife. Not long after, the general died in battle. The third princess was three months pregnant at the time. When she heard the bad news, she was so sad that she had a miscarriage.The third princess washed her face with tears all day long, unwilling to stay in the capital, so the emperor allowed the third princess to be with the son of Batu, who is close to the Hu country. Unexpectedly, the son of Batu is not a womanizer at all, and there are countless male pets in captivity at home. The third princess became angry from embarrassment. Swinging a sword and killing all the male favorites, Batu was so angry that he lost all reason. He punched and kicked the three princesses, and the three princesses were beaten to death by Batu in this way. He was only 21 years old.And it was that accident that broke the friendly relationship between Da Zhou and Hu State that had been eased for decades. Yun Li went out on behalf of the emperor, trying to get justice for the three princesses, but died halfway under Xun Feng's calculations.

Shui Linglong suppressed her racing thoughts, blessed her body on the horseback, and said: "Returning to the third princess, the subject is Shui Linglong."

The third princess tilted her little head, with a smile on her face as cute as a ceramic doll: "You really can't judge by appearance!"

On the hillside to the east of the venue, there were neat rows of seats, and the audience was all waiting to see, Yun Li and Zhuge Yu were among them.The two sat next to each other, and after a brief exchange of words, the competition began.

Mrs. Wu deliberately alienated the people in Xuan Guogong's mansion, so Wu Xiwen firmly defended Li Caiyun.Lu Yiyi and Wu Lian'er didn't dare to stop the third princess, and they didn't need to stop Guo Rong, so they turned to stop Yao Xin.On the contrary, Chen Xuan didn't talk much, but he was very courageous, and frequently snatched the ball from the three princesses.And Guo Rong did keep her promise, as long as she got the ball, she would pass it to Shui Linglong. Although she was not very accurate in the pass, and Guo Rong had been by Shui Linglong's side during the essay test, everyone naturally looked at them. became friends.Only Zhuge Yu looked vigilant, not optimistic about this kind of behavior.

Both sides knew who their respective seed players were, so everyone cooperated pretty well.

Gongs and drums sounded, only the last 5 minutes left.

Shui Linglong, Shui Lingxi and Yao Xin scored three goals each, Chen Xuan and the three princesses scored two goals each, Li Caiyun, Wu Lianer and Lu Yiyi scored one goal each, and the others scored zero.

Shui Lingxi couldn't help feeling anxious, she had already lost the literary test, she must not lose the military test!How can a cheap girl deserve to ride on her head?She gave Guo Rong a wink, and Guo Rong understood and passed the ball she just grabbed to her by "mistake".

At this time, Shui Lingxi is still far away from the opponent's goal, and the possibility of hitting it with one blow is not high, and there is a danger of being robbed when running with the ball. The safest way is to pass it to Chen Xuan on the opposite side. Xuan has already scored two goals, and if she scores another goal, she will have the same score as her, so she immediately dismissed the idea.

While riding her horse, she dribbled forward with a ball stick, but just as she was about to cross the center line, the third princess hit hard, and the ball flew towards Shui Linglong. Shui Linglong's current situation was similar to Shui Lingxi's before. She was also near the center line, but she resolutely chose to pass the ball to Yao Xin, who was in the best position, even though Yao Xin had already scored three goals.

Yao Xin swung hard, and the ball hit the opponent's goal accurately!

The sound of gongs and drums, the last minute, but the overall situation has been decided.

On the balcony, Yue Bin sighed: "Miss Shui is more open-minded, but Miss Shui is too selfish, so it is said that good people will be rewarded."

Xun Feng coughed for a while, turned pale, and smiled paradoxically: "Those who only think about others and smile away their grievances are fools, while smart people know how to optimize their own interests, which has nothing to do with their minds, Shui Lingxi Lost in not being smart enough."

This is a game set by him himself. Everyone must work together to defeat each other and compete for the martial arts championship.Unexpectedly, Shui Linglong found the Pareto optimization that Shui Lingxi could not find.If Shui Linglong only wants to win the championship, the result is very likely that the ball will be robbed again, and she, Shui Lingxi and Yao Xin have no winners, and neither has the red team and the blue team. There will be no martial arts champions and winning teams in one session, and no one will get the expensive gifts of Ruixue Villa.

So, Shui Linglong is zero, and her teammates are also zero.

But now, even if Champion Wu is captured by Yao Xin, Shui Linglong and the other three are no longer zero.

What a smart and sensible person, and he could hardly wait to see her.

Shui Lingxi was so angry that she almost gritted her silver teeth. Didn't Guo Rong tamper with her clothes?Why is she acting like nothing happened?

Shui Lingxi gave Guo Rong a wink, and took the opportunity to let Guo Rong grab the ball. Guo Rong passed it to Shui Linglong as before, but raised the ball with all her strength. Immediately, the ball flew straight towards Shui Linglong's face go!
