After all, although she has the highest status among this group of people, compared with the unmarried famous families in the whole capital, her family background is not obvious. If she wants to rely on her family background to become a concubine, to be honest, she is not qualified.
But if Hua Yanxi vacates this position, among all these noble ladies, she is confident that she will remain the official concubine.
Fu Jiaojiao thought very simply. The daughter-in-law of the royal family cannot be abandoned easily. Even if Hua Yanxi loses the position of the main concubine, the emperor will at most demote her to a side concubine, which does not count as abandonment.
So as long as she is still in the prince's house, she can't take away the dowry. What should be subsidized must be subsidized. In addition, if she pays Jiaojiao to be the princess, then Hua Yanxi's dowry will be left to her to decide.
?
Fu Jiaojiao's words were clear and steady, but the ambition in her eyes was already coming out, and she looked at Hua Yanxi with eyes filled with determination to win.
The expression on Hua Yanxi's face remained unchanged, and she replied with a slight smile: "This is natural. I said in the last round that if you don't pass, I will give up the position of the princess."
Fu Jiaojiao quietly glanced at the emperor on the high seat, and saw that there was no displeasure on his face. She was overjoyed, and her eyes were full of joy, as if she heard Hua Yanxi directly take off the title and wear it on her
The head is average.
However, Hua Yanxi changed her subject and glanced at Fu Jiaojiao: "But now I need to add a bargaining chip. With me as the standard, anyone who does not surpass me will be eliminated in this round. I wonder if other ladies dare to compete with me.
A bet?"
Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar, looking at Hua Yanxi with disbelief in their eyes, as if she had said something shocking.
Fu Jiaojiao's lips moved slightly when she heard this, but she did not speak immediately.
Is what Hua Yanxi said true, or is it just to deceive them and keep her position as the princess?
After coming back to her senses, Fu Jiaojiao thought she had guessed Hua Yanxi's tactic of retreating in order to advance, so she was naturally not afraid. She was about to agree, but was interrupted by several people behind her.
"The proposal of the fifth prince concubine is not fair to us. You are the prince concubine. You have been to the palace several times. It is easy to get a few familiar people. But this is our first time entering the palace. We can't even walk in the palace."
We will all get lost. If we are excluded just because of this, we will never accept it."
"Yes, five fingers can be long or short. It would be unfair to us to make arbitrary decisions based on this alone."
"Although running a house is a must for a woman after she gets married, winning is great, but even losing doesn't mean we don't have other strengths."
They didn't know how much money Hua Yanxi made now, so they were naturally flustered.
People like Miss Fu are naturally not afraid of Hua Yanxi, but those concubines who have no background in the palace and want to marry into the royal family, even if they are just concubines, are naturally not willing.
If Hua Yanxi earns just a little more than them, wouldn't they miss the opportunity to become concubines?
Such people began to join groups to keep warm, and each one of them resisted Hua Yanxi's suggestion.
Fu Jiaojiao turned her head to look at the people who were speaking. Her tone was calm, but there was still a bit of ridicule and superiority in her words.
"This selection of concubines is meant to select the best of the best. It is not about letting everyone use their own strengths. If you can't pass this round, you will naturally participate in the next round. Besides, who said that the winner in this round will be the winner?
There are no other advantages. I think the fifth prince’s proposal is very good and I agree with it.”
There's no point in saying it clearly, you defeated subordinates should quickly pack your bags and go home, don't be embarrassed here.
Several ladies with backgrounds also came to Fu Jiaojiao's side, and their voices of agreement immediately overshadowed those without backgrounds.
Hua Yanxi couldn't help but find it funny when she saw that the people who had originally been twisted into a rope to target her suddenly started fighting among themselves and divided into two factions.
"Miss Fu is right. It is true that everyone has their own shining points, but who can say that there is no one who can do everything?"
When Fu Jiaojiao heard this, she raised her head and raised her chest, as if the person Hua Yanxi was talking about was her.
Since Hua Yanxi was so sensible, Fu Jiaojiao thought that when she became the concubine, she would not embarrass her again.
However, Hua Yanxi didn't really want to help anyone, so she just heard her say: "But it's right for these ladies to have concerns. In this case, it's better to be like this. You can freely combine with each other, and there are not many combinations.
Anyone who earns more money than me will be considered qualified and can proceed directly to the next round of competition. Similarly, even if your combined group still does not surpass me, then everyone in the entire group will be eliminated and disqualified.
how?"
No one expected that things would actually turn around. Isn't this another bright spot in a village?
There are so many of them, and together they will definitely surpass Hua Yanxi.
In this way, even those who only earn one tael of silver can pass.
Fu Jiaojiao suddenly heard what Hua Yanxi said and frowned. Wasn't this a suicide?
Didn't she also promise that if everyone surpassed her, she would give up the position of princess?
The proposal she is making now will not do her any good.
Hua Yanxi doesn't seem like such a stupid person.
Fu Jiaojiao said: "If all of us add up, we will definitely surpass you. Then what you promised before to give up the position of Princess..."
Hua Yanxi smiled and said: "I naturally thought of this and was about to say it. I didn't expect Miss Fu to be so impatient."
Fu Jiaojiao's face suddenly fell and she glared at Hua Yanxi fiercely.
Hua Yanxi didn't care what her face looked like, she raised her lips slightly and continued: "My proposal does not conflict with my rules. Let me explain to you. First, if everyone surpasses me, then I will let you go."
Secondly, all ladies whose combined combination exceeds mine can successfully pass this test, but there is one thing. If anyone in the combination exceeds me, then the first point will be invalid."
Hearing what Hua Yanxi said, who wouldn't know that she was planning something.
Someone couldn't wait to say: "You are too cunning. No one knows how much money you made today. Maybe you didn't make a penny. All of us here made more than you. If the combination
Yes, for example, the one who earns less, but if the one who earns less actually earns more than you, then wouldn’t you avoid it and successfully keep your position as the concubine?"
When Ye Yibai heard these people's smart words, a hint of sarcasm appeared on his lips.
These women must have straw in their minds, and they actually think that Yanyan's family can't make money.
He just waited to see how these people would be slapped in the face.
No matter whether they choose a combination or an individual, they will always lose.
