In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Seeing his 'sweetheart' Qingying finally appear, the Fourth Prince was so excited that his heart and eyes were filled with her that he didn't even see Xiyue's face. He put down his purse and turned to pick up Qingying. Xiyue immediately activated her Word Spirit skill and said three words to the Fourth Prince: "Grab Ruyi!"

It was the first time that Xiyue activated the Word Spirit skill. She didn’t know if it would be effective without a subject and object. She could only hope that the Word Spirit skill could know the specific target of the action through her thoughts.

As soon as Xiyue finished speaking, the Fourth Prince, who had already walked to the front row of the beauties and was about to pass by Fu Cha Langya who was standing in the front row, paused, and with a dull look in his eyes, he reached out to grasp the tail of the jade ruyi in Fu Cha Langya's hand, and pulled it hard. The jade ruyi, which symbolized the Fourth Prince's position as the legitimate wife, was pulled out of Fu Cha Langya's hand.

Fu Cha Langya raised her head in disbelief and looked at the Fourth Prince who had done something to take back the jade ruyi. The shocked looks of the people around her made Fu Cha Langya feel humiliated and she cried uncontrollably.

Along with Fu Cha Langya's tears falling, there were also extra gold coins in the face-slapping system. Xiyue's eyes suddenly lit up. Using the Word Spirit to indirectly slap someone in the face was also considered a slap in the face. That was great!

After the Fourth Prince snatched the jade ruyi, he realized what he had just done. Concubine Xi was almost mad at Hongli's behavior. Before she could speak to help Hongli, Qingying suddenly shouted, "Hongli!"

The conscious mind that Hongli had just awakened was instantly dispersed by the "call" of true love. The Fourth Prince showed a pleasant smile and walked quickly to Qingying. While handing her the jade ruyi with tender eyes, he announced: "Princess Qingying, you are smart and clever. You are the legitimate wife. I grant you a ruyi."

As he spoke, Hongli looked at Qingying expectantly, motioning her to take the Ruyi. However, Qingying started to act hypocritically again, not only refusing to take it, but also saying, "I'm here to help you with your evaluation, why are you giving me this?"

As the plot progressed normally, Hongli continued to hand over the Ruyi in accordance with Qingying's words, while emphasizing: "I gave it to you as promised."

However, Xiyue rolled her eyes at the smug look on her face that she couldn't hide, and then activated her skill at Qingying, "Throw Ruyi!"

Qingying continued to say, "I was just kidding." She was reluctant to take it. As Xiyue's skill was activated, when Hongli said, "What, you don't dare to take it?", Qingying finally took Ruyi. But before Hongli could fully smile, Ruyi was thrown heavily to the ground by Qingying.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became weird, and everyone's eyes involuntarily looked at Ruyi on the ground, and then shifted to the Fourth Prince's face on the side. Seeing the Fourth Prince's face as dark as ink, everyone tacitly shifted their gaze again, looking at Qingying who threw Ruyi and rejected the Fourth Prince.

Qingying had returned to normal at this time. She didn't know why she dropped Ruyi just now. She opened her mouth and was about to explain something, but she didn't know how to explain. Now she really had no way to defend herself.

All the beauties who came to participate in the beauty pageant in Jiangxuexuan no longer felt the disappointment of being rejected. Their minds and eyes were filled with the "big show" in front of them. Even Xiyue, the instigator, was not in the mood to check how many gold coins had just been deposited into her account. Instead, she was watching the joke of the Fourth Prince with interest.

"The Fourth Prince, who values ​​his reputation the most, was humiliated by his 'sweetheart' like this. I wonder if his feelings for Qingying will be affected?" Xiyue thought gloatingly. "It shouldn't be. In the plot, there are many cases where Hongli was turned down by Qingying or later by Ruyi. Wasn't it Hongli who took the initiative to seek peace every time?"

Concubine Xi was the first to react. She was unhappy that Hongli did not listen to her and got involved with Ulanara. He even snatched Ruyi from Fucha Langya for Qingying, and offended Fucha, whom she was supposed to win over.

Now Qingying actually dared to trample on Hongli's sincerity in front of so many beautiful girls. Concubine Xi was so angry that she ordered the palace servants to ask Qingying to leave immediately.

Without waiting for the palace servants to make a move, Ah Ruo rushed forward quickly, picked up the Ruyi and put it in Qingying's hand, and knelt down to apologize to Concubine Xi: "Concubine Xi, please calm down. Our princess's hand just trembled a little, and she didn't mean to drop the Ruyi given by the Fourth Prince!"

At this time, Qingying finally had a way out. Following A Ruo's words, she squatted down to apologize, saying that she didn't know why her hands were shaking and she dropped Ruyi. Then, without waiting for Concubine Xi to reply, she looked straight into Hongli's eyes and said, "Hongli, believe me, I really didn't mean it."

Seeing Hongli and Qingying flirting with each other in front of everyone, the emperor arrived. Before he asked about the results of the selection, he glanced around and found Qingying. The emperor frowned in dissatisfaction: "Qingying? Didn't I not allow you to enter the palace? How did you get into this selection?"

The emperor's words were like a powerful slap in the face of Qingying. She felt humiliated as if someone had done something to her. Her eyes were filled with tears but she pouted her lips stubbornly and refused to let the tears fall.

The face-slapping system thought about it again at this time. Xiyue checked it quietly, but found that Qingying's face-slapping value had increased, and she was suddenly a little puzzled.

It was normal that Fu Cha Langya's slapping value increased when Hongli snatched back Ruyi. After all, this time was more exaggerated than the plot where he just took back Ruyi, so Xiyue was not surprised at all that a slapping value would occur. Later, when Qingying threw away Ruyi, Hongli's slapping value increased, and even Fu Cha Langya's slapping value increased as well. Xiyue didn't find it strange.

But the emperor only said two words, and Qingying's face-slapping value increased. What does it have to do with me? It can't be that Qingying felt embarrassed because everyone present knew that she came "specially" to participate in the Fourth Prince's selection and lost the opportunity to show off? And I just happened to be there to witness her embarrassment, so I got Qingying's face-slapping value?

Xiyue's guess was half and half. The right half was that Qingying felt ashamed after her thoughts were exposed by the emperor's words. The wrong half was not because Xiyue happened to be there, but because the fact that Qingying was banned from entering the palace by the emperor was ultimately related to Gao Bin's memorial, and Gao Bin wrote the memorial because of Xiyue.

This can also be considered an alternative indirect slap in the face!

Qingying didn't answer, and the emperor didn't continue to make things difficult for her. He just announced that the results of the selection for the Fourth Prince did not count and asked Qingying to leave the palace immediately.

After Qingying was sent away, Xiyue and the others were also arranged to be sent out of the palace. Soon, with the news that the Queen had committed a serious mistake and was under house arrest, the Emperor's decree granting the Fourth Prince a marriage also arrived.

Fu Cha Langya was chosen by the Emperor and Concubine Xi to become the legitimate wife of the Fourth Prince Hongli. And because Xiyue's purse was not taken back during the selection at Jiangxuexuan, Xiyue also received an order from the Gao family to marry the Fourth Prince Hongli as a concubine.

Qingying's family was worried about Qingying's lifelong event. Two princes were choosing wives, and Qingying was not selected. What kind of family could she marry in the future? At this time, the eunuch came to announce the decree, saying that Qingying had been named the Princess of Prince Bao. Although Qingying's family was a little disappointed that she was not a concubine, they were still relieved. Qingying's lifelong event finally had a destination.
