Chapter 303 Do You Look at People but Not Faces?

Chapter 303 Don't you look at people?

Xiaoman came out, looked at the surprised look on everyone's face, so she smiled, and in front of everyone, saluted the emperor, queen mother, empress and others one by one.

"Master Yongxi County, I greet the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor. Greetings to the queen mother..."

Although Prime Minister Ren already knew that Mu Yexiao and the emperor were brothers, but at this time, he saw that the one recommended by Mu Yexiao was an underage child.

It's okay to be a child, but she's still a woman, it's simply out of place, she couldn't help but glared at Mu Yexiao: "Master Xiao, are you joking?"

"On such an important occasion today, you actually made such a joke. Going to the battlefield is a man's business. What kind of thing is it if you let a female doll participate?"

Mu Yexiao just raised his eyebrows: "Prime Minister Ren seems to have a big opinion? Talented people, why should you stick to men and women? In the eyes of this king, the Lord Yongxi is both civil and military."

"Why can't I recommend her? Besides, the competition has not started yet, are you going to be timid before the battle? Such a person is also worthy of the battlefield?"

After a few words, the people who were recommended were fuming with anger, and one of them, who was tall and thick, stood up directly: "Prince Xiao, Jiang Qiang is the one recommended by the Duke's Mansion."

"Although you are the God of War in our Great Zhou Dynasty, Prince Xiao, you are not afraid of a woman, my lord."

Everyone nodded in agreement, it was just a woman, of course she was not afraid, Qian Jiujiu curled her lips: "Since you are not afraid, let County Lord Yongxi participate."

"It's also good to convince you to lose."

Everyone glanced at Concubine Xiao, all of whom dared to be angry but dared not speak out, and argued with King Xiao, they dared! But Princess Xiao, after knowing that Princess Xiao likes to throw people into the latrine.

Everyone was really worried about losing face, so they stopped talking. Seeing this scene, Mu Yexiao and the emperor looked at each other, only to realize that they were in the capital.

The most intimidating one was actually not Mu Yexiao, nor the emperor, but Qian Jiujiu, both of them were speechless. After Qian Jiujiu finished speaking, he looked at the crowd and remained silent.

I couldn't help but wonder: "So if you don't speak, it's a tacit consent. It's good to have done this earlier, if people have to waste a lot of words, there will be a delay. Now that you have acquiesced, let's start."

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched. Originally, he thought that to send a woman to the battlefield, what he had to face was the viciousness of the ministers, but he found out.

All the officials are worth a thousand ninety-nine, after all, in the hearts of everyone, only women and villains are hard to raise! As for Qian Jiujiu, it can be said that both of them stand together.

Especially in terms of the performance of Qingling County Lord, it is definitely the case. The emperor coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment: "Okay, let's start."

This matter has been agreed a long time ago, and it was handed over to Xian Wang Mu Yezhe to preside over it. After all, many people present had recommended talents, but Xian Wang did not.

Moreover, Xian Wang's fairness is obvious to all in Kyoto. After all, Xian Wang liked to hold some poetry conferences before, and the final results were all fair and just.

Standing on the edge of the ring, King Xian took a look at those who came to compete: "Actually, our selection is very simple. The first essay test, everyone knows, is a great general."

"It's not that if you are good at martial arts, you can sit on it. He needs to know the art of war and strategy. These questions are all posed by everyone. Let's start answering the questions."

On the martial arts arena, tables were quickly moved up one by one, and then those recommended talents sat on them and began to answer questions, and Xiao Man sat in the first row.

Qian Jiujiu watched the people below begin to answer the questions, and tilted his head to glance at Mu Yexiao: "Mu Yexiao, are you thirsty? Let me make you a pot of tea."

"Recently, when I had nothing to do, I studied the tea ceremony. Do you want to see this princess perform for you?"

Everyone heard Qian Jiujiu's words, the corners of their mouths twitched a few times, please, Princess Xiao, the occasion is very important, it's not the time for you to make tea.

If you want to show affection or something, can you go home and slowly show affection with your prince. Of course no one dared to say it, after all Qian Jiujiu's Maokeng stunt was very powerful.

Mu Yexiao was very cooperative, no matter what Qian Jiujiu wanted to do, he would support him, and looked at Qian Jiujiu with a smile: "Just as long as Jiu'er is happy."

have to! Everyone curled their lips for a while, can you take a look at the occasion if you dote on your wife? They were either air, or the emperor coughed twice.

"Princess Xiao, don't you mind making an extra pot of tea?"

Hearing the emperor's cough, all the ministers thought that the emperor wanted to stop it, but who would have thought that the emperor would actually say this, and everyone fell down! Looking at the empress dowager again, the empress dowager also looked at Qian Jiujiu with a smile on her face.

Qian Jiujiu moved very quickly, stood up, turned and left, and soon came back again, when she came back, there were two teapots on the tray in her hand.

First, it was served in front of the emperor, looking at the emperor and the queen mother: "Your majesty, queen mother, please drink tea."

After finishing speaking, he returned to his seat with the tray, and Mu Yexiao saw Qian Jiujiu approaching, so he reached out to take the tray and put it on the table.

Qian Jiujiu poured a cup of tea for Mu Yexiao, and when the tea just came out, a burst of fragrance spread throughout the exam venue, and some people who were writing hard all raised their heads.

Looking towards Qian Jiujiu, the tea tasted very fragrant, as if it was tempting people to drool all the time, but Mu Yexiao didn't show it at all.

Secretly, he saw everyone's performance in his eyes, took a sip from his teacup, and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Jiu'er's tea art has really improved a lot."

Qian Jiujiu pouted: "Is it just a lot of growth? I thought it was a lot."

Listening to the conversation between Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao, all the ministers couldn't help feeling angrily in their hearts. Could it be that King Xiao often drank such good tea in his residence?

Unexpectedly, he was still not satisfied, the ministers who liked to drink tea were almost beating their chests in anger, and there were also cheeky ministers who came to Qian Jiujiu's side.

"The old minister has met Princess Xiao, so I don't know if Princess Xiao's tea can be cut off. The old minister has no other hobbies, but loves tea very much."

Qian Jiujiu looked blankly at the minister who was speaking in front of him: "Are you always?"

Qian Jiujiu had never seen the veteran who was speaking in front of him, and Mu Yexiao coughed twice: "Old Qi, don't worry, there is some tea, and I will order it to be sent to your house later on."

"I really didn't expect that your old man will come back today."

Old Qi got the tea as he wished, so he said with a smile: "This is a big event today. It is related to the war at the border of the country. Naturally, we need to pay attention to it."

After hearing this, Mu Yexiao just echoed: "That's true."

Elder Qi is very colorful, he left directly after getting the tea leaves, but Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao: "Who is this Elder Qi?"

Mu Yexiao was funny: "He is a veteran of the three dynasties. He used to be a cabinet minister. Although he has retired now, he has a high status. It's just that after Mr. Qi retired, he hasn't been out of the house, so it's normal if you don't know."

Qian Jiujiu said oh, generally, the elders of several dynasties are very powerful characters, and the best thing is to rely on the old to sell the old, no wonder Mu Yexiao didn't want to say anything more.

Mu Yexiao didn't know what Qian Jiujiu was thinking, otherwise, he would definitely have laughed out loud, but chatting and drinking tea here is really relaxing and happy.

It’s hard for those who are drooling when they smell the tea, and they have to rack their brains to answer the questions. The main reason is that the tea is too fragrant.

Time passed quickly, and I heard King Xian's voice: "Time is up, hand it in, and then we will have a martial arts competition. To be fair, we will draw lots."

"Everyone is divided into two groups, and the person who draws the same number as you is your respective opponent."

After finishing speaking, I saw two guards coming up with a cardboard box each, and King Xian's voice sounded again: "You guys want to pick out what's in that box."

"The number of words drawn depends on the number of words. The first one will go to the ring, and then the second and third..."

The moment King Xian spoke, the two teams had already started to draw lots, and when King Xian said that they could go on stage, the person who got No. 1 from both sides had already stood up.

It was a man with the appearance of a white-faced scholar, and a burly man. Of these two people, one was dressed in white, and the one in white was a white-faced scholar named Bai Chen.

A burly man, dressed in black, named Lin Yi. Qian Jiujiu looked at the two people so funny: "Mu Yexiao, you look at the two people, isn't there a contrast?"

The corner of Mu Yexiao's mouth twitched: "What did you think of?"

Qian Jiujiu shook his head: "What did I think of? You look at two people, one is so white and the other is so black, what a coincidence."

Mu Yexiao was speechless for a moment, and cast a glance at Qian Jiujiu: "Do you only look at people by their faces?"

Qian Jiujiu's face was straight and confident, as if you were talking nonsense: "Don't you look at people but not faces? Then what are you looking at?"

Mu Yexiao, who was irritated by these words, almost said, if he is a person who looks at faces, when he sees Qian Jiujiu's face at first, he can't kill her directly!

But if you say this, the consequences will be very serious, Mu Yexiao dare not say it! I can only nod my head in agreement: "You say yes."

Qian Jiujiu frowned, always feeling that something was wrong, but Mu Yexiao's face was calm, and he couldn't see anything, forget it, leave him alone, maybe Mu Yexiao really doesn't look at people's faces?

Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu suddenly felt a little strange: "Mu Yexiao, do you know what I look like?"

Mu Yexiao gave Qian Jiujiu a blank stare: "Of course I know, you are right in front of my eyes, and I'm not blind."

Qian Jiujiu shook his head: "No, if there is a chance later, you can draw a portrait of me."
