I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 251 General Election 5

"I am your personal maid now, so let's not discuss anything else for now."

Although Xin Youran had a lot of questions in her head to ask Leng Yue, they were interrupted by the arrival of the Empress and the Imperial Concubine.

"The Queen has arrived~"

"The Imperial Concubine has arrived~"

Then everyone followed suit and saluted.

The queen looked around. Today's protagonists were the Crown Prince, Prince Jing, and Prince Ning. However, the one who showed up was the Crown Prince, who usually would not attend, while the other two princes were nowhere to be seen.

"Where are Prince Jing and Prince Ning?"

"My Lady, they are already on their way!"

Eunuch Liu was extremely panicked at this time. His subordinates couldn't find the two princes no matter how hard they tried. One was the Queen's biological son, and the other was the Imperial Noble Consort's biological son. Each one was more advanced than the other. What else could he do?

The queen felt a headache after hearing this. Her son, Prince Jing Mu Yubai, was clearly going against her!

She had planned everything for him in this election, but she was nowhere to be seen at the last minute.

Ever since he had a big fight with her over the Crown Prince Mu Yuan, he hadn't wanted to get close to her...

"Bring the people here quickly!"

"This election was originally organized for them, and they are so unruly!"

The Empress just started to scold, but the Imperial Concubine was not happy.

Isn't she clearly scolding her Rui'er? When is it her turn to give orders to her own son?

"Empress, do you know why you age so quickly?"

"Too easily angered."

"You are the mother of a country. You must take good care of yourself. If you pass away one day, others will suffer."

The imperial concubine covered her mouth and laughed as she spoke.

The Empress was so angry that she almost vomited blood on the spot. This little bitch has been so arrogant for so many years, just relying on her father, the Marquis of Dingguo!

Didn't that old fellow retire? Now he's jumping out again, how can His Majesty tolerate him?

Don't worry, it won't be jumping around for long.

The Queen gave the Imperial Concubine an ambiguous look and said, “Let’s see how arrogant you can be then!”

Soon, Prince Ning and Prince Jing appeared at the banquet together.

Seeing the two of them coming together, the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine glanced at each other.

When did they become so close?

Queen: "Now that everyone is here, let's begin."

She had already known yesterday that Crown Prince Mu Yuan had brought a woman of unknown origin into the palace.

She even brought the man directly to see the emperor. Strangely, the emperor didn't say anything. She couldn't get angry, so she just turned a blind eye.

There are too many strange things happening today. The wise king who did not come to visit His Majesty for eight years went to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity today, and now he appeared at the election banquet at an inappropriate time.

Have to guard against it.

Even the emperor is wary of his brother-in-law whom she hasn't seen for a long time, so she naturally has to ask his opinion first.

"I wonder if the wise king has anything else to remind you?"

The virtuous king did not expect to be named by the queen. He really should not have come here, but in order to avoid the emperor, he came here with his wife and daughter.

"I only sent Princess Xian and Princess Yunqi here to watch the fun. If you have any questions, just ask Princess Xian."

"I will leave now."

As the virtuous king spoke, he glanced at Tong Wan. Their eyes met, and each understood the deeper meaning.

Only then did he leave the Imperial Garden.

The Queen had no choice but to ask the same question to Princess Xian, the woman she hated and feared the most in her life.

"My prince said that Yingying and I are just here to join in the fun, and everything will be arranged by the Empress."

Listen, such an important matter is just a fun thing in her eyes!

The queen felt a lump of foul air stuck in her throat and had difficulty swallowing food.

But she couldn't reveal anything, so she gave the order and began.

The first item is the test of court etiquette.

The women who participated in the election had to come forward one by one for the princes to observe their appearance, demeanor, temperament, walking posture, sitting posture, way of saluting, etc.

The female candidates are all working hard, as each of the three princes is crucial this time.

Being favored by a fortune teller is a great blessing, and your ancestors' wealth and glory for the rest of your life depend on the present.

After they finished showing off one by one, the Queen saw Xin Youran still standing stupidly beside the Prince.

What an unruly wild girl!

"That girl, since you are here, I will give you a chance to compete on the same stage."

How could she be qualified to be here based on her family background?

Mu Yuan laughed when he heard this. Should his woman be grateful for the opportunity you gave her?

"Thank you for your concern, Empress Immortal. She is..."

He was just about to say that Xin Youran was his Crown Princess and there was no need to bother arranging things for her. He came here just to inform her and choose an auspicious day to get married as soon as possible.

Afterwards, he would ask for an imperial decree from the emperor to grant the marriage.

Before that, he wanted to clear his Youyou's name, overturn the case of the family of the Great General, and let her marry him openly as the daughter of the Great General.

But before he could finish his words, Xin Youran stopped him. She smiled and replied, "Then I, Xin Youran, would like to thank the Queen for her kindness."

She had spent an entire night studying and watching other candidates' presentations, so she couldn't let her time go to waste.

Don't you all want to see her make a fool of herself?

We can't let others down, right?

She walked confidently among the other candidates.

Xiahou Rui was getting anxious. Why was this different from the plan?

Leng Yue couldn't do anything with her. She insisted on getting a set of maid's clothes and insisted on being Xin Youran's maid.

What is Xin Youran trying to do now?

She winked at Mu Yuan frantically, but he didn't get it at all.

The imperial concubine was a little worried that her son might have eye disease.

After the first court etiquette test eliminated a few people, the second talent show began.

Xin Youran had some understanding of the matter through the scientific popularization given by the housekeeper last night.

It's nothing more than some talent shows like music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's not about competing for the first place. It should be okay if you just do it for the time being.

The final choice must still get Mu Yuan's approval, she is just taking this opportunity to have some fun.

When she returned to her seat to prepare for her talent show, she realized that something seemed to be missing beside her. Where was Leng Yue?

This guy is still so unscrupulous and elusive in the palace, which makes me feel a little uneasy.

At this time, a dignified and beautiful woman came forward to pay her respects to the Queen. She had curved eyebrows and eyes, which was very pleasing.

"Empress, Minghui has a suggestion. Miss Xin is so favored by the Crown Prince, so she must have something extraordinary. Why not let her start the second round of talent shows so we can all learn a thing or two?"

Xin Youran was sitting there obediently, but someone actually asked her to make a fool of herself and even to be the first to do so, so impatient.

Princess Minghui, thank you.

She had originally wanted to refer to the talents of other female candidates, but now she has no reference at all and is completely lost.

"It's hard to believe that Minghui is so understanding that she gave up this first place ranking to someone else."

"Then Miss Xin, let's get started."

Just come as you say?

It sounds like the first spot to play is not something that can be obtained easily.

Sure enough, someone started chirping quietly again.

"This bitch is so lucky! Princess Minghui is so generous! She and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are obviously the best match!"

"That's right, they are childhood sweethearts, they are inseparable and have a very good relationship."

"Cheng Yaojin shows up unexpectedly and ruins someone's marriage!"

"Looking at her attitude, what good talents can she have? Just wait and see her make a fool of herself."

……

Xin Youran, who was a little at a loss at first, became more energetic after hearing them chirping in front of her!

"Alright, thank you Princess Minghui and Her Majesty the Queen for your kindness. I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

"Then I'll show you a sword dance~"

After thinking about it, she is the number one female assassin in Daliang Kingdom, so naturally she has to show what she is good at.
