Chapter 43 Palace Exam
The stone cutter has obviously cut countless stones. When the stone knife falls, the subtle feeling will tell him whether the knife is expected or not.

For the small stone handed by Zhao Erdong, he only cut it once. When he made the second cut, the slight touch from the blade told him that it was there.

The stone material is not big at all, and the stone-cutter master is very skilled. After a while, a piece of red spar appeared in front of everyone.

The same red spar, the size seems to be about the same, everyone thought, could it be that the two had a tie?
The stonecutter weighed the two crystal stones in his hand, pointed to Zhao Erdong's and said, "This little girl's crystal stone is a little bigger, she wins."

How could the mouse-eyed man be willing to admit defeat, and immediately pointed at the stonecutter's shop and yelled, all kinds of dirty words and gibberish spewed out, and even threatened to meet the emperor and begged the emperor to speak.

The master of the Lingshi hall couldn't help but support his forehead, thinking that it's fortunate that this guy lost the game, otherwise it would be a very headache to work with this kind of person in the future.

The mouse-eyed man was finally thrown out by the guards, and the Lingshi Palace returned to calm again. The master of the Lingshi Palace stroked the sparse beard on his chin, and said to Zhao Erdong, "Young girl, you have to work hard. It was just a fluke. Next time My luck may not be so good."

Zhao Erdong raised his head and looked at the master of Lingshi, who was a head taller than her. This person was only about thirty years old, and he could get into the position of master of the hall, either because he was very capable or had someone behind him.

And this person in front of him, when he saw the fourth prince, was full of flattery, flattery, no strong demeanor at all, presumably he must rely on the person behind him to take the position, the more this kind of person, the more careful he should be , this kind of person has no strength of character, and is very happy when things happen. As the saying goes, a gentleman is easy to resist, but a villain is hard to guard against.

Zhao Erdong smiled brightly at the Hall Master of Lingshi, "Thank you for the pointer, Er Dong will definitely go all out to live up to the Lord's high expectations."

People who follow other people's buttocks all the year round and flatter them naturally like to be flattered by others.

The Master of Lingshi Hall nodded in satisfaction. He likes smart people who can judge the situation and the situation. This Zhao Erdong is not only proficient in the art of appraising treasures, but also a martial arts practitioner. After being defeated this time, and he can find a position for her in the palace, is he afraid that she will not serve him in the future?

After the first round, only nine people remained in the imperial court.

According to the rules, nine people need to form two groups for the second round, but nine is an odd number, and only one person can form four groups.

When drawing lots in groups, Zhao Erdong was very lucky to get a bye under the ingenious arrangement of the master of Lingshi Hall.

In other words, Zhao Erdong does not need to participate in the second round, but can directly enter the palace competition.

The palace competition is supervised by the fourth prince. As long as you perform well, even if you don't get the first-grade appraiser in the imperial court, you may be kept in the palace by the fourth prince, and you will be appointed a second-rank and third-grade appraiser. The salary is also very considerable.

The Master of Lingshi Hall raised his hand and patted Zhao Erdong's shoulder lightly, his shining eyes were full of meaning.

Zhao Erdong leaned back and smiled back, his face was full of gratitude, when he lowered his head, the gratitude dissipated, and he sneered.

After the second round, including Zhao Erdong, there were only five players left.

As the day went by, the palace match was scheduled for three days later. In order not to cause any accidents, the five treasure appraisers were arranged in the guard house far away from the harem.

Fortunately, there were many female imperial guards in the imperial guard residence, and Zhao Erdong's check-in was not inconvenient. As soon as she entered the imperial guard residence, she began to inquire about the eldest brother of the imperial guard who recruited her into the palace.
