Empress True Colors

The "elites" in the stands have been working hard since Jing Hengbo arrived.

Most of them have been taken care of by the imperial court, whoever can win the queen's attention and make Zuo Qiumo fall out of favor, the whole family will be rewarded by the imperial court.

What's more, the queen herself has a variety of styles and is rich in the world.

What's more, Her Majesty the Queen seemed careless and lacking in interest. But I never forget to turn my head and look back once in a while, with a charming smile and affectionate eyes, which can seduce people who have just been disappointed, and ignite the fire of hope in an instant.

Jing Hengbo slowly looked at the introduction of the selected candidates in her hand, and glanced at the stage from time to time. Of course, she knew that most of these openly recruited candidates were recommended by the Luoyun royal family. So she was just going through the motions to see if there was really someone worth recruiting before trying to find a way.

The first few are all sons of the Luoyun rich family, so there is no need to talk about it.

There are also a few who are not clearly marked, and they seem to be from the Jianghu, which she put aside.

There were two that aroused her interest. One was named Qiu Jinfeng, who had a wonderful "yin and yang eye". It was said that as a member of the Wengui clan who was the best at witchcraft and poison in the Luoyun tribe, he was still an outlier in the clan and couldn't learn witchcraft. Tongshen, yin and yang ghost hexagrams, but born with a pair of eyes that look at the world with the left eye and the underworld with the right eye. Jing Hengbo became interested in a line of small characters under his introduction, "The left eye sees the texture and heart of a person during the day, and the right eye sees ghosts and resentments in the past at night."

It's fine to look at ghosts and grievances, but isn't it similar to small perspective to look at people's texture and heart? A pair of eyes is like X-rays, everything in the world is unobstructed in front of those eyes, and can be seen through at a glance.

If there is such a person, it would be like having a four-dimensional B-ultrasound, the development of the child, and what is wrong with Gong Yin's body, wouldn't it be clear at a glance?

It's just that this person's background is a bit embarrassing for Jing Hengbo. This family originally migrated from the Fushui Department, and has inextricable connections with a certain family in the Fushui Department, and her relationship with the Fushui Department is not worth looking forward to. Using such a person Be careful.

The other person's resume is much simpler, and his name is Ye Qi. A native of Yunnan County. Born in a medical family, he is good at poison and medicine, and a lot of people praise how good this person is, with extraordinary demeanor. If it wasn't for the phrase "good at poison and medicine", Jing Hengbo wouldn't even take a second look.

The King of Luoyun, Ge Shen, said that he was ill and did not come. The Minister of Rites led a group of subordinate officials to accompany him, and introduced the "extraordinary deeds" of the "preliminary husbands" to the Queen. First, he strongly recommended those few Children of the family. It can be seen that the Luoyun tribe has put in a lot of effort. Out of the ten members, four are from aristocratic families, and all four of them have wealthy industries under their names. Even better, the four men's industries were mainly related to jewellery, cloth and fur, spices and crafts.

Needless to say, this is yet another sugar-coated cannonball aimed at Her Majesty. Everyone knows that Jing Hengbo is not greedy enough to become a queen, and he still has to do royal business. He says that he will devote himself to the beauty of women in the wilderness, but in fact, his goal is specifically for women's wallets. The Queen's Ladies' Emporium has a great relationship with the above items. In the future, no matter whether it is to open up commercial frontiers, find the best craftsmen, or acquire secret recipes from various places and learn from others to maintain its leading edge in the industry, such heroes will be needed.

I have to say that when Jing Hengbo heard that these people had some secret recipes and unique craftsmanship, their industries were famous inside and outside Luoyun, and they had a deep understanding of related industries in Luoyun and even Dahuang, he was really moved.

Seeing her move, the Rites officials worked harder, and began to recommend those candidates from Jianghu. It is said that they were born in Jianghu, and most of them have official status in the Luoyun court. One is the head coach of the Royal Forest Army who is born with great strength. One is the son of the owner of a certain villa who is good at organ formations, and he has a false title of enshrinement in the palace. A name is called "Luoyun", dare to use the name of the family, naturally there are two brushes, this one's brush is lightness kung fu, it is said that it is really like floating clouds flying down, not surprised at all. Secretary Li said that it is suitable to protect His Majesty's safety at close range. Doesn't Her Majesty think that it is faster to escape at a critical moment? The other one is Luoyun this year's champion in the martial arts examination. It is said that he is invulnerable to swords and guns. According to the officials of the Rites Department, he is most suitable to charge for the queen. Her Majesty the Queen felt that this kind of sword was just right.

Although Qi Sha was giggling and laughing, the piles of sweet potatoes sold in baskets in the market, Jing Hengbo smiled and seemed to agree, but he had to admit in his heart that these people were of good quality. As a queen, she also knows the importance of talents. The Henghalberd Army is constantly expanding its army, and recruiting talents is a top priority.

The official of the Ritual Department speculated on her expression, and said cautiously: "These are all momentary choices. The real elite talents among Luoyun men, Yunwen Yunwu, have extraordinary talents. Your Majesty's harem is still empty, so it is better to accept such talents together Of…"

"No!" Tianqi came out of nowhere, and said sternly, "The queen's harem, how noble, how can cats and dogs be stuffed in it? You Luoyun are not the most powerful of the six kingdoms and eight tribes, you are everywhere. There are more than a dozen fortresses, what about the rest of the vassal tribes? The queen can afford to support such a large group of people, but we still can't afford to serve them!"

Jing Hengbo stared at Tianqi in shock, when did this guy become so sharp-tongued? And how many people in her harem are none of his business? Shouldn't he be concerned about whether Gong Yin has acne on his face?

Thinking of Gong Yin, she suddenly remembered that Tianqi was Gong Yin's dog's leg, could it be that he came to defend the master? Looking around, I didn't see the white stake.

In fact, she swept across the venue when she sat down, and she still couldn't see it now, so she couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Her Majesty the Queen is actually very hypocritical. Although she will not admit that today's well-dressed dress has something to do with someone, but at this moment, she can't see someone present to appreciate it, and she is immediately angry.

"I think these are all very good." Jing Hengbo deliberately opposed Gong Yin, and lazily said, "It's not impossible to accept them together..."

Official Luoyun, who was embarrassed by Tianqi's words, immediately lifted his spirits, and stared at Jing Hengbo with blinking eyes.

Suddenly, a white shadow flashed, like a snow shadow falling, brightening everyone's vision.

Before people could react, they only heard an uproar from below, and when they looked again, there was suddenly another person on the empty chair beside Jing Hengbo.

Seeing that person, the uproar in the arena suddenly subsided, the hustle and bustle gradually quieted down, and even the breathing seemed to be slowly restrained, hiding it carefully and properly. All the disturbances are in front of the compelling quiet ice and snow temperament. Feeling their own flashy and dry, people subconsciously disperse their breath in the world, fearing that they will desecrate the coolness and coldness that suddenly hit their hearts.

The eight people on the stage stared blankly. When I saw the queen alone, I felt that her brilliance would obscure the light of all men in the world. However, at this moment, this almost introverted person exists quietly, and no one can ignore it. The most beautiful and harmonious painting.

Except that Her Majesty's complexion doesn't look very good...

Gong Yin didn't look at anyone, sat down next to Jing Hengbo, and said lightly: "It's not impossible to take them together, as long as it's not a cat or a dog."

The corners of Jing Hengbo's eyes almost flew up - what is he doing here? Want to stir up trouble again?

The Rites official stared at the chair in shock, not understanding how this person suddenly appeared?

Gong Yin sat calmly, with a straight back, a tight neckline, and a straight and delicate chin on the neckline. Looking up, the lip line was also straight as a line, neither happy nor angry, but naturally mighty.

Watched by his clear and cold eyes, the official of the Ritual Department swallowed all the reprimands, and couldn't help but quietly took two steps back.

Jing Hengbo started to sneer.

There was a little secret joy in her heart, and a little bit of anger, which made her smile look bright and fierce, with a murderous look.

"These talents, I think they are all very good. They are also rare talents in Dige. How come they become cats and dogs when they come to this man's mouth?"

"That's right." The official of the Rites Department hurriedly said, "Who are you? Why do you ridicule your face and say that you are a cat or a dog?"

The eight people over there cast angry glances, and there are two Jing Hengbo's favorites, but it is said that they haven't arrived yet.

"I'm here to run for the election." Gong Yin didn't even look at the person in front of him, nor did he explain the last question.

Jing Hengbo's eyes lit up, and he immediately lowered his head and ate something to cover it up.

"The candidate has been decided, and no one is allowed to insert it at will!" The official was relieved when he heard that he was running for the election, and roared, "Go away."

Then he rolled away.

No one saw Gong Yin make a move, but the man in white clothes like snow glanced at him, and the official suddenly slipped and rolled all the way down the stage.

When he slammed into the wooden corner of the steps and groaned loudly, Gong Yin said slowly, "There are not many soldiers, but fine soldiers."

The implication is that compared with him, those are all cats and dogs, there is no need to collect them all, just choose the best one.

He was already packing up the snacks at Jing Hengbo's table and putting them into a bag he had prepared. From the looks of it, the old man felt that he came and sat down for a while, and his attitude showed that this matter could be over.

Gong Yin is very confident, because he knows that no matter what Jing Hengbo's purpose is, no matter how she treats him now, choosing a husband is definitely not really choosing a husband.

Then why let such a group of unknown people surround her? Doesn't she know that this will bring danger to herself?

This matter, in the past, might really end.

After all, Jing Hengbo was used to seeing Bingshan, not Gong Yin who was carrying her cloth bag to collect snacks for her. Bingshan used to pay more attention to her, and she felt that spring was here.

But now...

"If you want to stand for the election, follow the rules." Her Majesty the Queen knocked on the table unceremoniously, snatched back the cloth bag containing the snacks, reached into it, took out the Poria pancakes that were not there before, chewed them with satisfaction, Then he squinted at the next door and said, "This group of people can stand here because they challenged them one by one. Mister, the cowhide is not blown out. If you want to run for the election, you have to prove that you have the qualifications first?"

Gong Yin was silent, and looked at Jing Hengbo, the word "qualification" sounds really stinging.

Women are really magical creatures. They are wild and enthusiastic when they are chasing, bold and decisive when they are sleeping, turn their faces and be ruthless after getting up, give you everything, and pretend not to know each other after goodbye.

Why didn't I find her so difficult before?

However, that little depression disappeared immediately when he saw the beautiful red lips and the snow-white pancake that suddenly disappeared between the lips.

Poria pancakes are a specialty of Luoyun, but the most delicious one is in a back alley. He accidentally saw people crowding and vying to buy them. The one who obviously hates crowds and smoky shops suddenly squeezed in for some reason.

At this moment, seeing her snow-white teeth viciously biting the cake into pieces, accompanied by the same vicious eyes like flying knives, I suddenly feel that this life is happy, because she is by my side, because she is rolling her eyes, and because she eats him. Although the pancakes I bought seemed to be eating the meat of my enemy, I quickly reached out to touch another piece after eating one.

He was a little dazed—this is the fireworks in the world of mortals, this is the warmth of the world, this is the life of ordinary men and women laughing and laughing—even dedication is sweet, and suffering is also sweet.

Suddenly, she felt that as long as she could live like this and be so natural for a lifetime, it would be fine even if she did some things that she used to disdain, for example, seriously running for election.

"You want me to prove that they are cats and dogs?" He pursed his lips and looked at Jing Hengbo.

Jing Hengbo thought about it, and added another one, "You are not allowed to use martial arts, who is your opponent in terms of martial arts?"

Gong Yin was noncommittal, and asked again: "If it proves that they are all cats and dogs, you don't want them?"

Jing Hengbo glanced at him, and said in a drawn out voice, "No...impossible."

She admired Gong Yin, whose face was a bit dark, with satisfaction, and then slowly said: "I must have someone, as for the rest of the places... I'll save you, I don't want all of them, there is one left, and I will compete for it myself." Pointing her finger Gong Yin, "Including you."

The eight people on the opposite side bowed together, "Your Majesty, this person has repeatedly insulted us, please allow me to challenge this gentleman."

"Please go ahead." Jing Hengbo waved his hands with a smile, "Don't compete in martial arts. Besides, I want whoever can make him suffer."

Underneath, Pei Shu's dark face showed sunlight, and he felt that seeing Gong Yin's expression at this moment was really a great joy in life.

Gong Yin didn't speak, just took the tureen and drank tea casually, and said indifferently: "It's best to recommend the strongest of you to come out and solve it at once. The sun is very hot."

The hot sun didn't affect him, but Jing Hengbo's face was flushed. He watched, always afraid that she would suffer from heat stroke.

His seemingly indifferent but contemptuous tone has always been very irritating. The eight people's faces were ashen, and they got together according to their backgrounds. After a while, each side pushed out a person, walked to Taichung, and clasped fists at Gong Yin.

Jing Hengbo kicked the leg of Gong Yin's chair, and Gong Yin waved his hand, and the faces of the eight people turned from blue to purple.

Jing Hengbo stared at him, wanted to say something impolite, thought about the real identity of this person, and suddenly shut up.

For him, sitting here is an exception, and competing with these people is even more wronged. If it wasn't for her, why would he be willing to appear in the eyes of countless people as "running for the king's husband"?

The first one who came out was a representative of a family's son, tall and handsome, with good eyebrows, hidden three points of arrogance, and smiled coldly at Gong Yin's "arrogance", and said: "Since I don't compete in martial arts, I only want the queen's heart. Then what I'm waiting to compete with should be what the queen likes."

Gong Yin raised his hand, motioning for him to ask a question.

Jing Hengbo listened, but felt that this angle was tricky. These four people knew her strengths well, and they were also good at these fields, so even she couldn't help worrying about Gong Yin because they only knew about state affairs. Are those women playing?

"I want to ask, sir," the man asked like a cannonball, "how many women's shops are currently opened by Her Majesty the Queen, where are they located, and how much are they costing? What kind of business is the main business of the shop? What are you not good at, what are you most in need of, and what are you most afraid of?"

Jing Hengbo raised his eyebrows.

This question may seem common, but it is difficult for someone who is not proficient in this field to answer it accurately. In particular, Gong Yin was born noble, he didn't care about the type of worldly affairs, and he was disdainful of being polluted by the world. Martial arts, don't talk about political affairs, regardless of words, just talk about some women's things that men look down on the most. Sure enough, businessmen are the most cunning and shrewd.

Looking at the audience, Pei Shu was frowning with a dazed look on his face.

Pei Shu stayed by her side all day long and didn't care about these trifles, let alone Gong Yin, who never saw the end of the dragon?

Immediately after she heard Gong Yin say without pause: "She opened two companies in the open, and one company in secret, and is still planning one in private. I don't need to answer the open ones, and I don't need to tell you about the secret ones. If you have to ask, it's just one." Fragrance word, correct or not is judged by the Queen. The shops she bought are all very good, and the market price is no less than a thousand taels of silver, but the more expensive ones are those beauty products that add exotic flowers and herbs and deep-sea pearls, only from tortoiseshell The transportation cost of bringing in the deep-sea mud is equivalent to the annual income of an ordinary shop in God's Song, and dozens of top craftsmen are used for just one crystal lamp in the hall. The monthly income of the shops in the best part of the city. So the total value of the shops is difficult to estimate. Your question seems like a spy, why should I tell you? Her shop is good at all things that make women beautiful, but it is not good at how to make those who accompany their wives The aristocratic men who came here are also interested; what they need most is the special formula and design that conforms to the folk customs of various places in the wilderness, and has special characteristics. , quietly cooperating, secretly forming an alliance, in the name of running for the king's husband, secretly trying to get close to the queen, looking for opportunities to kill the vitality of the store or **** the core secrets of the women's store—" He stopped, and in the shocked silence, he raised his eyebrows expressionlessly To the other person, "I'm right, right?"
