Chapter 37
Before entering the palace, Qianru secretly drew up a statement and hid it on her body.

There may be an accident in everything. In order to prevent the two good sisters from being affected by bad luck, she pretended to be nothing.

Facts have proved that this is the right thing to do.

In such a big scene, even Zhao Xian'er, who has performed in the palace several times, looked tense, let alone Xiangxiang.

This girl always wanted to go to the toilet, but Zhao Xian'er refused, she was so nervous that she was about to cry!
Qianru had no choice but to go with her.

The toilet in the palace was far away, and the two of them ran several times, sweating profusely and putting on makeup.

She was still touching up her makeup when she was about to appear on stage, Zhao Xian'er was so anxious that she almost twisted their ears.

Fortunately, the performance went smoothly and there was no mess.

Just when Qianru was about to submit her petition, Xu Huaishan, Duke of Rongguo, stood up suddenly, disrupting her plan.

"Worthy of being the famous 'Three Beauties of Allure' in the capital, with three outstanding sensuality and artistic skills, it really deserves its reputation! Such a beauty, why doesn't the emperor bestow marriages on meritorious soldiers?"

All the civil and military officials present were erupting immediately!

mixed reviews.

The censor Hu Yong stood up and retorted, "Mr. Rong Guo's words are wrong! No matter how beautiful the three beauties are, they are just Goulan women. How can they be given to the meritorious soldiers?"

Gui Wanglang said with a smile: "Master Hu, why is he so strict? He is not suitable to be a royal wife, and maybe he can't even be a concubine!"

After finishing speaking, the military officers sitting behind him all laughed and stepped forward to beg the emperor for a reward.

There are only three beauties, but hundreds of generals are begging for them.

One by one rolled up their sleeves and wanted to fight for it by force.

Seeing that the emperor nodded his head, Qianru was about to disobey her order, but she was dragged down by Zhao Xian'er and Xiangxiang covering her mouth.

"Stupid! Don't say that our status is humble, even if it's a noble daughter of a family, a princess princess, who can stop the emperor from rewarding you?" "We can't sell a lifetime of art, what if we are lucky enough to meet a good husband?"

"Only the main wife can call her husband a husband, and a concubine is just a slave. No matter what, I, An Qianru, will never be a concubine! If something happens, I will take care of it myself. Don't follow me."

After finishing speaking, she grabbed the oranges on the nearby table and threw them at the two generals who were competing, disrupting the situation.

The emperor was furious and ordered someone to bring her closer.

"You are so brave, you dare to attack my beloved general in front of the imperial court."

"Can a few oranges smash them? Are they made of tofu?"

King Luo accidentally laughed out loud, and hurriedly pretended to be drunk to cover it up, but it caught the emperor's attention even more.

"What's wrong with you?"

King Luo straightened his clothes and stepped forward solemnly, "Brother Huihuang, this woman is the daughter of the late imperial censor Antai. She is quite courageous and has witty words."

"You said she was pissed at me with witty words? I think you are gloating!"

The emperor grabbed the orange and was about to throw it at King Luo, but was dissuaded by Queen Shen.

Seeing that the emperor's complexion was better than before, Qianru seized the opportunity to exonerate herself.

"My servant heard that a virtuous monarch loves his people like his sons, covers them like the sky, and tolerates them like the earth. Although the servants are humble, they are also the subjects of the emperor. When the servants made mistakes, the emperor beat, scolded and killed them. The servants did not complain, but May the emperor be merciful and give the servants a chance to express their feelings."

"What a sharp mouth, I want to hear what you can say!"

Qianru straightened up without being humble or overbearing, and bowed to the emperor three times, "In ancient times, marriage is not a matter of following the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers."

"Heaven and earth, the king and the teacher, the king is before the kiss"

"Propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, etiquette cannot be discarded! I am promoting a great country, and I should pay more attention to etiquette. Today, the emperor treats slaves and maidservants with low status and disregards the ceremony of marriage. In the future, someone will disregard the ceremony of the monarch and his ministers. Which is more important? Please also ask the emperor to give up the ceremony." break!"

Seeing that Hu Yong was about to step forward again, the emperor hurriedly raised his hand to let Qianru get up.

"You are not joking, I will definitely give you this marriage! But since you have reminded me to obey the rules, I will summon your parents here."

Zhao Xian'er is an orphan, Qianru has no parents, and Xiangxiang was abandoned by her parents when she was still a baby, so she doesn't know where her parents are.

The emperor wanted to give a marriage again, there was no other way, Qianru had no choice but to hand over the prepared petition at this inopportune time to divert her gaze.

After the emperor read it, he sneered a few times and made things difficult for her, "If the general who ranks first in the competition picks you, I will decree to re-investigate the cause of Antai's death."

Zhao Xian'er saw that Qianru wanted to refute, so she quickly gagged her and dragged her back.

Xiangxiang was frightened just now, and hugged her tightly, not allowing her to run around again.

She could only watch helplessly as one general after another stepped forward to compete.

These people played very seriously, and it didn't seem like a point-and-shoot discussion at all.

I don't know who lost more.

Fighting, fighting, the old Gui Wang Changsun Ji rolled up his sleeves and went into battle in person.

No one dared to really fight him, and Changsun won the final with ease.

Just when he was ready to ask for the reward, Shangguan Yuan came belatedly to compare with him.

"General Shangguan, why do you want to ask for a reward instead of asking for a reward for missing the banquet time?"

"Returning to the emperor, the final general was ordered by the prince to arrange troops and horses, so he was late, no."

"When did this king give you such an order?"

Just when Shangguan Yuan could not refute, a veteran general led a group of generals to stand up to testify for Shangguan Yuan, forcing King Gui to change his words.

Qianru took a closer look and found that the old general's appearance was somewhat similar to Princess Luo's Xiao Lian'er. She immediately understood that the competition just now was between King Luo and King Gui.

When things developed like this, she could only pray silently, no matter if it was Gui Wang who won or Shangguan Yuan who won, don't choose herself.

Although Gui Wang Changsun Ji was once a famous general, but he has been pampered and respected for many years, and he is old, so he is no match for Shangguan Yuan.

The winner will be decided soon!
Although many people are not reconciled, they have already played and lost to King Gui, so they can only admit it.

"Shangguanyuan, Qingcheng Sanbeauty, who do you want?"

Shangguan Yuan didn't look at it, and said directly: "An Qianru."

Qianru was startled. He had chased her for several blocks with a gun when they met last time, so why did she want to marry her now?
On the contrary, the emperor was overjoyed, and ordered someone to show her petition to Shangguanyuan.

"She accused you of murdering her father, Antai, but you want to marry her. How interesting!"

"That case is recorded in the Dali Temple file, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the last general. The last general had a friendship with Antai, escorted him to Gui County, and almost died. All this, Master Hu, the censor, knows about it."

"If someone dares to sue you before the emperor, it must be groundless. Since the emperor has made a promise, the case of An Yushi should be retried."

King Gui actually stepped forward to advocate a retrial. Is this a thief calling for a thief?

Qianru was a little confused, but her purpose of submitting the petition was not only to reverse the case for Antai, but also to use Antai's case to reveal the truth about the Anhou Mansion case.

However, no matter what, King Gui's targeting of Shangguan Yuan was beneficial to his plan.

Therefore, when the emperor asked, she narrated everything she saw in the secret room of Shangguanyuan's small private house, as well as what Shangguan's old lady said.
