Houmen's wife

Chapter 35
Look closely at the dimples at the corners of her mouth, but she is full of confidence.

The queen stood up, "This is a word for sure." She smiled and looked at Qi Yue. Once a woman's hair is shaved, it is tantamount to violating the seven rules and will never be able to marry.

Qi Yue was startled, she wanted to stand up and stop the bet, but seeing Nian Qing throwing a gentle hint, she could only suppress the uneasiness in her heart and watch the competition.

However, when Shi Yinran and Yanling were flipping through the ledger to check what went wrong, Nian Qing sat aside, drank tea, and ate the freshest grapes.

Yanling was nervous again, and she couldn't see her being so carefree, so she immediately shouted: "I haven't come up to check the accounts yet!"

Nian Qing raised her brows slightly, and she also learned to lie on the recliner, with a charming look in her eyes, "I promised to let you have a stick of incense, lest you make a lot of excuses and don't want to be concubines."

Nian Qing picked up the pen and paper. There were three ledgers in total. She skimmed them and started to write.

Seeing that she didn't use abacus, everyone immediately became curious.

She drew a table, and the things were quickly listed in it, and she quickly calculated in her mind.

After a while, the first book was put aside.

The people present couldn't help standing up, wanting to see why she was so fast.After another brush, the second book was put aside.

Shi Yinran only felt a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, she couldn't control the corners of her eyes to look at the paper on Duanmu Nianqing, but, far away, she couldn't see it clearly, only knew there was a frame.

When the third book was put aside, Nian Qing laughed, but she was not in a hurry to announce the answer.He just stood aside with his arms around his chest, waiting for the results of the two of them.

Yanling has already started to feel dizzy, she can only feel that there is something wrong with the last few pages, but if she has to search carefully, the project is huge, and she really can't find a convenient way.

Shi Yinran finally found out, and began to make calculations, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth. "A total of 39, 410, [-], [-], [-]."

Huang Daopo smiled, but still shook her head, "It's almost."

Having said this, Yanling grasped the account book in her hands even more, and for some reason she became a little flustered.It seems that what Nian Qing said will really become a reality.

After a stick of incense passed, Nian Qing clapped her hands and stood up.

Everyone in the audience started to stare at her, and the empress dowager nodded, not to mention whether Nian Qing would see this foolishness, but her unruffled aura should not be underestimated.

Nian Qing stepped forward, "The total is 39 four taels and five dollars."

Huang Daopo nodded, smiled and said, "That's right."

The audience was in an uproar, Yanling didn't know when she dropped the pen in her hand.She just felt cold and cold, and a sentence echoed in her mind, "I can only be a concubine in this life." She was so stupid, how could she make such a bet, how could she lose.

Shi Yinran's body shook, her feet retreated uncontrollably, and hit the table behind her, she was stunned, "How could it be? Why?"

Nian Qing didn't reply, but wrote on the paper.

Everyone was puzzled. When she wrote the paper in two and handed it to Jiang Qianrong, Jiang Qianrong's expression changed, and he handed it to the emperor with his head down.

It was written on the paper, "Because Shi Yinran and Yanling hated the concubine's daughter and spoke viciously, without any virtuous attitude, they disrespected in front of all the civil and military officials in the world in Yongjun Palace. They felt that the emperor dared not bully the emperor, so they followed It is said that in this life, I will only be the concubine of others. If there is any violation, the nine clans will be destroyed with the crime of deceiving the emperor. Seal it with a jade seal so that it will not be lost to the people of the world and be trusted."

The emperor narrowed his eyes coldly, how could this 16-year-old woman in front of him be so ruthless, forcing himself to put a jade seal on such a bet?

The queen was at the side, but she read these words word by word. General Shi, who had been silent for a while, suddenly stood up, stepped on the table with his toes, and the table shook suddenly. It pinched Duanmu Nianqing's neck.

Nian Qing looked at General Shi coldly, but sneered in his heart, if he was not convinced, why didn't he come out and stop him early in the morning, hum, villain!
"Stop!" Duanmu Junye slapped General Shi away with his palm, and immediately there was a red streak on General Shi's muscular arm.However, no one sympathized with Nian Qing who had just obtained fresh air. In Dajin, no concubine dared to challenge the concubine daughter. The women in Dajin were gentle and kind. She dared to make such a bet, she must have a heart like a snake.They looked at Duanmu Nianqing with contempt, their faces were full of anger.

Nian Qing didn't look at those people, but knelt down with hands folded.

"Please seal the emperor!"

Immediately, the Yongjun Palace fell into silence.The Empress Dowager was so angry that she pointed at Duanmu Nianqing and scolded, "Too frivolous! It's nothing!" She wanted to continue cursing, but Marquis Anping gave her a cold look.

The emperor took a deep breath, if he stamped his seal, General Shi and the others might not accept it. "Why don't you let them go?"

Nian Qing knelt down but sneered, "If I lose this match, would the emperor care about my black hair?"

The air seemed to flow slowly again.

The emperor was stunned, his eyes rolled, she was right, if she lost, General Shi Yongchang would definitely not let her go.In order to balance the world, he can only sacrifice her. If she does not marry in her whole life, the royal family will not lose her.

But is this what she wants?

Nian Qing sneered, looking at those dignitaries who regarded her like a snake, how could she want to offend others, if she didn't do this, the bullying would keep coming like a wave, how could she stop it?She wants to tell these aristocratic families that she is young and not someone who can be trampled on at will.

Duanmu Junye was also angry. He thought his daughter had done too much, but seeing the emperor's expression now, he was afraid that Nian Qing would lose. He would not say a word, why is his daughter treated so differently from others!He suddenly came together, held Duanmu Nianqing's hand, and saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty, I don't know why the Emperor treats my Lingyun Palace so differently. I am afraid that the late emperor made a mistake and named my ancestor as Lingyun King." It's just empty talk, let me suffer such humiliation in Lingyun Palace today, my hereditary title, the emperor, can take it away."
