Don’t Show the Son

Lin Xiu is a little confident in herself, but self-confidence is not arrogance.

Give him a year, and he can narrow the gap with Zhao Lingjun, but he will definitely not be able to catch up. After all, she is so talented and has practiced more than ten years earlier than him.

But in another three years, when the Tianjiao list is updated next time, he will no longer be afraid of Zhao Lingjun.

I'd better bet with Lingyin next time.

The two were walking on the street, and a group of people came in front of them. Although those people had faces and clothes that were very similar to those of the Daxia people, they talked in a chattering voice. I took a look at them.

As a language genius, Lin Xiu understood that she was praising them for their good looks.

Zhao Lingyin looked back and said, "Strange, why did these people come so early?"

Lin Xiu asked, "Who are they?"

Zhao Lingyin said: "It sounds like the language of the Wuji Kingdom and the Fusang Kingdom. I don't know which one it is. Not everyone can participate in the Great Tournament of the Nations, but they must first participate in the Small Tournament to obtain the qualifications to participate in the Grand Tournament. But it's not yet Xiaobi's time..."

Lin Xiu understood that only those who have achieved enough rankings in the lower level competitions are eligible to participate in the big competition.

This rule is reasonable. It cannot be that everyone can participate in the big competition, and it will be completely messed up.

Among the countries in the mainland, only the five great dynasties can organize small competitions. The small countries around them have to go to the five great dynasties half a year before the big competition to obtain the qualifications to participate in the big competition.

The Great Competition of the Nations is held once every three years by the five dynasties in turn. The last Great Competition was held in Daxia. According to the usual practice, next year's Great Competition will be held in the Daluo Dynasty.

There are many small countries around Daxia, bordering them are the Western Regions, Nanyue, Nanzhao, Beimang, Borneo, etc. Fusang Kingdom and Wuji Kingdom are two island countries in the sea. Among them, there are Western Regions, Nanyue, and Nanzhao. There are also Wuji who are obedient, such as Fusang, who is superficially obedient, but actually harbors ulterior motives, and does some small tricks from time to time.

To some extent, the countries around the five dynasties are their vassals, and any one of the five dynasties also has the power to dominate the surrounding countries.

It’s nothing more than thousands of years of wars between countries for their interests and resources. They found that this is not the way to continue, and decided to sit down and discuss problems in the future, so as not to start wars easily, thus forming the continent today. pattern.

In other words, the original war existed in the form of Dabi.

The result of the competition will affect the distribution of resources in the mainland in the next few years, so even the five dynasties pay special attention to the competition.

Zhao Lingyin turned to Lin Xiu and said, "So, don't think about next year's big competition. The most important thing right now is to stand out from the small competition in a few months and get the qualification to participate in the big competition."

Lin Xiu asked Lingyin, "Will you participate in this competition?"

Zhao Lingyin said: "Although it is certain that you will not be able to enter the Tianjiao list, you can gain insights and accumulate experience."

Lingyin's talent may not be inferior to geniuses from other countries, but she is too young, she is only 18 years old now, she can still participate in three big competitions, while most of the people on the Tianjiao list have only been on the list once Chance.

The second time, they will not be able to participate because they are older than the limit.

Like Zhao Lingjun, who participated in the big competition for the first time at the age of seventeen and won the top spot in the list of Tianjiao, there are not many existences since ancient times.

Lin Xiu has to hurry up and practice, and try to advance to the earth rank before the big competition. In this way, he will be in the top ten of the Tianjiao list, and he will be sure.

When Lin Xiu and Lingyin returned home, Qin Wan had already prepared the meal, and Lin Xiu hadn't eaten a few bites when she saw Zhu Jin walking in from the outside.

Lin Xiu asked in surprise, "How do you know I'm here?"

Zhu Jin smiled and said: "There is nothing I don't know, Your Majesty asked you to enter the palace, you should eat quickly, and return to the palace with me after eating."

It doesn't seem to be an important thing to have time for him to eat, but the dog emperor is really, if there is anything he can't finish just now, he must be let into the palace again.

After quickly eating a bowl of rice, Lin Xiu followed Zhu Jin into the palace and came to a certain palace in the middle palace.

This seemed to be the place where the dog emperor was tired from dealing with political affairs and took a rest. At this moment, besides the dog emperor, there were pretty widows in the palace.

The Widow looks prettier than ever.

Her skin is well maintained. She is in her early thirties, but her skin is as delicate as that of a woman in her twenties. Her eyes are watery, and her face is still slightly flushed.

Lin Xiu is someone who has been there, of course she knows what is going on with this flush.

He complained in his heart, he was working hard in Xue's house just now, but the dog emperor was enjoying it in the palace, it was really unfair.

Emperor Xia looked at Lin Xiu and said, "I want to expand and expand the harem. You know what kind of women I like, so I plan to appoint you as a draft picker. Do you have any objections?"

The dog emperor's harem has more than twenty concubines, and it still needs to be expanded, which is really enviable.

I am only a wife, and I am still a superficial couple. If I want to marry a woman who truly loves each other, I will encounter many obstacles. Thinking of this, Lin Xiu feels a little unbalanced.

However, he still nodded and said, "I have no objection."

The emperor wants to choose a concubine, the process is much more complicated than his concubine, and it is not possible to marry whoever he wants, often the Ministry of Rites initially draws up a list of beautiful women, and then the court conducts a primary selection, after a round of screening, and then Send the selected person to the palace, and the queen or the imperial concubine will pick the final candidate. He has no right to decide the whole process.

Therefore, it is best to choose the type he likes during the primary election.

Over thirty years old, big breasts and hips, mature appearance, is the type that the dog emperor likes.

Emperor Xia looked at the pretty widow, and said to Lin Xiu: "You will take your mother out of the palace with you later. I have already arranged the affairs outside the palace. You just need to select her as the finalist in the primary election, and the next thing will happen. You don't have to worry about it."

Lin Xiudao: "I understand."

He felt like a pimp, the emperor's selection had to be done in secret, if word spread out, the dog emperor would be ashamed to be the emperor, so not only should this matter be completed, but the fewer people who know about it, the better. From this point of view, The position of draft envoy really belongs to him.

Lin Xiu suddenly thought that this time it was the dog emperor who asked him, so he could strike while the iron was hot and ask him to do a little favor.

The obstacle for him to marry Caiyi now is not Zhao Lingjun, but his parents.

They won't listen to Lin Xiu, but they will listen to the dog emperor.

If the dog emperor grants him a marriage, wouldn't the matter be settled satisfactorily?

Lin Xiu took the opportunity to say: "I also have a small matter, I would like to ask His Majesty."

Emperor Xia said without hesitation: "I don't have any silver, nor do I have any house."

Lin Xiu quickly said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, this time I don't want money, and I don't want a house. I just want an imperial edict from Your Majesty, an imperial edict to grant marriage."

Emperor Xia was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Give me a marriage, who do you want to marry, the one from the Xue family is impossible."

Lin Xiu explained: "It's not Ning'er, it's Caiyi..."

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said: "That's not okay. I just gave you a marriage with Zhao Lingjun a few months ago, and I gave you a marriage. Whether I am the emperor or a matchmaker, there is no need to mention this matter..."

When leading the pretty widow out of the palace, Lin Xiu complained in her heart, "The dog emperor is not particular at all, letting himself do things one by one, never being polite, not even saying thank you."

I begged him, but asked him to write a few words, but he refused without even thinking about it.

He'd better pray that next time something doesn't come to him.

After leaving the palace, Lin Xiu led the pretty widow back to her residence.

Along the way, the common people couldn't help talking when they saw them.

"This girl is so beautiful, no wonder the third young master of the Zhang family will take a fancy to her."

"Those adults came out very early, why is she only leaving the palace now?"

"It should be stayed by His Majesty to understand the case."

"Your Majesty is really a benevolent king who manages every day and pays so much attention to the affairs of ordinary people..."

...

Lin Xiu sent the pretty widow home and found many suspicious figures around her house. He even saw an old beggar in the corner and a street peddler. It seemed that he didn't need to worry about her safety anymore.

It was getting late at this time, and Lin Xiu also returned to the house.

Early the next morning, Zhu Jin came here and brought Lin Xiu to the Ministry of Etiquette. He had already been named a draft envoy, and the Ministry of Etiquette should cooperate with him to complete the audition and preliminary screening of the beautiful women as soon as possible.

Today Lin Xiu had something to do in the morning, and Zhao Lingyin didn't go to the School of Abnormal Arts. After breakfast, she came to see Zhao Lingjun.

She had already heard about what happened yesterday. She walked down the street holding Zhao Lingjun's hand and asked, "Sister, when did you wake up for the sixth time?"

Zhao Lingjun smiled and said, "Not long ago."

Zhao Lingyin said with emotion: "It's only been five years since you awakened last time. So, after ten years, wouldn't it be possible for my sister to be promoted to the heaven rank?"

Zhao Lingjun shook her head and said, "It's not that easy. Practice depends on chance. The bottleneck of the sky is not so easy to break through. There are many people who have been trapped in the bottleneck for decades."

Zhao Lingyin said: "I believe my sister can do it."

Zhao Lingjun looked at her and said, "Don't talk about me, what about you, are you confident that you will be promoted to the rank before the next competition?"

Zhao Lingyin stuck out her tongue and said, "It's very difficult. If Dabi is postponed for another year, there is still a possibility."

With her original talent, she still needs to practice for four to five years before she can hope to advance to the earth rank. Although these days her practice speed has doubled due to the combination of ice and fire, it is still impossible to advance to the earth rank within a year.

Zhao Lingjun thought for a while and said: "In winter, you and I will go to Daluo. It is best to advance to the ranks before the Dabi. In this case, you can enter the Tianjiao list, which will be beneficial to your future practice. Great benefit."

In the next three years, the geniuses who have entered the list of geniuses in each country will be able to obtain extremely huge cultivation resources, and the gap between them and ordinary geniuses will be further widened.

The two sisters walked around the street for a while, Zhao Lingjun seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked, "Lingyin, do you know where the Pear Garden is?"

Zhao Lingyin was stunned for a moment, then secretly glanced at her sister, and asked, "You, what are you going to Lihuayuan for?"

Zhao Lingjun smiled slightly and said, "I have nothing else to do now, I want to listen to the music."

Ewha Garden.

Today's Lihuayuan is still full of guests.

Caiyi was singing on the stage when she suddenly felt something and looked towards the door.

Two extremely beautiful women walked in from the door hand in hand. One of them, Caiyi, was acquainted. They met once in Lihuayuan. She even misunderstood her as Lin Xiu's wife, and the other...

When she saw the woman, Caiyi panicked for no reason, and even her voice trembled.

At this time, the woman's eyes also looked at the colorful clothes on the stage.

The moment their eyes met in the air, they both guessed the other's identity.
