Farmer's counterattack is busy with farming

Chapter 412 It is a blessing to be able to eat
Empress Lin raised her head, and the female officer beside her stood up, holding a list in her hand, and said loudly: "Prince Ran is a noble person, and there are many good ladies who are willing to marry Qin and Jin with him, but Prince Ran's concubine is only Can be the only one. Here today, I will select a beauty with excellent appearance and character."

The crowd held their breaths.

Then the female officer began to read the list.

"Li Shangshu's daughter, Li Shuyuan; Zhang Yushi's daughter, Zhang Jingshu. Ning Xiangguo's daughter, Ning Chengcheng..."

Ning Chengcheng blushed slightly, stood up, walked lightly with lotus steps, walked to the middle of the hall, and stood with the other two ladies.

Her appearance is as delicate and beautiful as a flower, coupled with her elaborate attire, she attracted several rounds of applause from the outer hall.

Ning Chengcheng was proud, then raised his chin slightly reserved.

The female officer paused, and waited for the hall to quiet down before continuing to read: "Ning Xi'er from the Ning House, Fu Jiamin from the Zhennan Marquis House, Cao Yushan from the Cao Family from Jiangnan, Tang Rong from the Tang Family from Xiangbei..."

After hearing this, Ning Xianxian looked at Tang Ting: "Is she from your family?"

Tang Ting squeezed her teacup and said lazily, "Yes, the daughter of my second uncle's family. I just answered the call and came to try my luck."

"Sister Tingting, why don't you participate?" Princess Wumian asked curiously.

"I..." Tang Ting snorted, "I don't want to steal from Xiaoxian'er."

"En?" Wu Mian blinked, looked at Ning Xianxian, understood, and smiled, "My little uncle is not a thing...ah, no, my little uncle is a thing..."

The more she talked, the more chaotic she became, and finally she simply smiled and said: "Sister Tingting, you are wise, don't look at the excitement of the election here, whoever he is, if he can't fall into the eyes of my little uncle, even if the father forced him to marry him , it's useless."

"Hmph." Tang Ting shook her head, "Why do women want to marry? Is it because money is hard to spend, or is the wine bad?"

Ning Xianxian snatched the wine glass from her and said, "You're drunk."

"Give it back to me." Tang Ting snatched it back and gave her a push, "Go, go, I'm reading your name."

At this time, the female officer was thinking: "... Princess Changning Ning Xianxian, although she did not sign up before, the Queen Mother allowed her to participate. Please come up Princess Changning."

Ning Xianxian put down the cup and walked to the middle of the hall under the eyes of everyone.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but she always feels that since she came to this palace, it seems that someone is looking at her.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to stand up, she quickly scanned the inside and outside of the hall, and her eyes met the pair of eyes outside the hall.

Those were a pair of eyes that were somewhat sinister and impenetrable.

Ning Xianxian could not forget these eyes.

It belonged to one person - Mo Lin'an.

The moment he looked at Mo Lin'an, Ning Xianxian suddenly understood.

The person who kidnapped Liang Yingqiu must be him.

Mo Lin'an raised the cup in his hand and showed her a meaningful smile.

Ning Xianxian lowered her eyes, retracted her gaze, and turned to face the empress dowager and empress empress.

The female official said: "There are thirteen ladies in total. Since they really couldn't make a choice, the Empress Dowager specially asked three questions. Whoever can win will be the future concubine of Prince Ran."

The girls couldn't help being shocked.

The female officer put down the list, picked up another piece of paper, and said, "The first question, eat."

eat?
Everyone showed question marks.

The female officer didn't care about everyone's gaze, and continued: "It's a blessing to be able to eat. This first question is about the appetite of the ladies of the school."

puff!
Tang Ting spat out a mouthful of water.

Is this really the scene of choosing a concubine for a prince?
than appetite...

This is too... child's play.

Everyone secretly glanced at the Empress Dowager.

The empress dowager looked calm.

So everyone also calmed down.

Why don't you just eat?

How fair, let's speak on our own merits.

No one objected, so the female officer waved her hand, and thirteen small tables were brought up.There are three pots on it.Uncover it, a pot full of sauced pig's trotters, and another pot, a roasted whole lamb.The third pot, rice...

Everyone was stunned.

This is to do something!
Women in Dazhou regard weakness as their beauty, and their appetite is smaller than that of a bird. After eating so much, they are still alive.

What's more, those roasted whole sheep with pig's trotters... how indecent it is to eat in public, and it's too damaging to the image!

Miss Duan, the daughter of the family of the chief official in Fengjiang, complained: "I don't like to eat these, it's so ugly."

Empress Lin glanced at her, seemingly displeased.

But she is the daughter of a big official in the frontier, and in that kind of marginal place, she is equivalent to a princess there. The court has to coax her, and Empress Lin is not good at reprimanding her, so she said: "Food is the most important thing for the people. Your father is the court Minister, as his daughter, you shouldn't be like this."

The female official said: "If you don't want to eat, you can quit and give up the game."

Miss Duan bowed her head, not daring to speak any more.

The female officer glanced around: "Since no one has any objections, let's start. Weigh after a stick of incense, and whoever has the least leftover will win. The last three will be eliminated."

The atmosphere finally became so tense.

The female officer was very satisfied, and said: "Burning incense, let's start!"

Ning Xianxian looked at it, only a pair of chopsticks.

The other twelve people started to eat like crazy.

Zhang Yushi's daughter was the fiercest, holding a pig's trotter with one hand, tearing off a lamb leg with the other, gnawed a pig's trotter, and ate a piece of mutton.Mouth stuffed to the brim.

She ate it all, and Li Shuyuan, who was hostile to her, was not far behind, tearing off two lamb legs and eating them in big mouthfuls.

Perhaps they disliked the fact that these two dishes were too greasy and ugly, so Ning Chengcheng, Ning Xi'er, and Fu Jiamin all chose to eat rice by coincidence.

Rice is also very filling.

Soon Ning Xier's eyes went straight from eating, and the rest of them were not much better, all of them were forced into their mouths.

Ning Xianxian admired it around, and then said to the female officer, "My lord, can I have a knife?"

The female officer raised her eyebrows: "What are you doing?"

Tang Ting shouted from below: "Xianxian, it's okay if you can't eat, but you can't hurt yourself~"

Everyone giggled and laughed.

"Bah, what nonsense are you talking about!" Wu Mian glared at her.

Ning Xianxian explained with a smile: "I like to eat the meat slices."

"Oh, since that's the case, it's okay." The female officer generously ordered someone to bring a delicate little knife and handed it to Ning Xianxian.

Holding the knife, she cut off a thin slice of meat directly from the sheep, and said to the female officer, "It would be even better if there is sauce."

Female officer: "..."

Li Yanjun and Mrs. Mu also kept watching. Seeing this, they laughed in a low voice: "Xianxian is worthy of being born to my sister-in-law, and she is as picky about eating as my sister-in-law. It's just that this is not the time for picky eaters. It seems that I will be the last one. It's over."

Li Yanjun said with a blank face: "You should care more about your daughter, my daughter doesn't need you to talk too much."

Mu Shi curled his lips and said in a low voice: "I really think I'm eating at home, and I need sauce..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the female officer actually asked someone to bring a plate of sauce and put it on Ning Xianxian's table.
