Chapter 322 The Concubine Selection Banquet Comes to an End
The emperor, who had been sitting in a high position, said nothing, but quietly watched the farce-like scene in front of him.
He didn't expect that a good concubine selection banquet would turn out like this.
His original intention was just to choose some smart and well-behaved concubines for his favorite son to take care of him.
His eyes fell on Hua Yanxi's back, with a bit of ambiguity in his eyes.
But this Hua Yanxi is indeed extraordinary. Now he finally knows why she set up these games, not really to choose concubines, but to let him see the true face of these noble ladies.
In the past few days, the ladies have been staying in the palace. He can clearly see what they are like in private and even what they are doing secretly.
There is scheming. If you were in the royal family, if you didn't have some scheming, your bones would have been eaten long ago.
But unfortunately, these people have ambitions, but their skills are not good enough, and they can only do some small tricks that are not worthy of being on the stage.
These people, whose ambitions are as high as heaven and as thin as paper, are not suitable for his family at all.
Either they are kind-hearted and live with his Xiaowu, or they are ruthless enough to protect his Xiaowu. These people do not occupy any of them and are not worthy of his Xiaowu at all.
Not even one-tenth as good as Hua Yanxi.
The emperor was naturally aware of what happened to Hua Yanxi in the Imperial Hospital, which is why he clearly knew their respective situations and did not interrupt what Hua Yanxi said to these noble ladies just now.
In the audience, Hua Yanxi curled her lips: "Of course I can't let you take all the good things. Think about it for yourselves. Should you choose a group to pass and continue the next round of competition, or should you choose to compete with me individually, and the loser will abstain? Let's talk first.
As promised, if we compare individually, I may not have less than you."
When these words fell in everyone's ears, it was as if they were trying to conceal the truth.
Especially Fu Jiaojiao, she didn't believe Hua Yanxi at all. She would be taller than all of them?
How is it possible, unless she cheated.
But if she really believed Hua Yanxi and let her escape, then Fu Jiaojiao would have suffered a big loss.
Fu Jiaojiao whispered to several women with backgrounds: "I think Hua Yanxi must be bluffing, just to let us combine and let her escape. If we are really fooled, her position as the concubine will be ruined."
Just keep it."
"I also think she is lying. How could she earn more than the rest of us? We can't team up, and we can't let them team up. If she is not even as good as the lowest person here, if we agree, won't we let her
Escaped?"
So, a few women with background began to do the ideological work of the remaining people.
It's just that, even if you win this round, you still have no chance of winning against them in the next round. Instead of doing this, it's better to jerk off Hua Yanxi and promise some benefits to these ladies.
Although these young ladies with no background are unwilling to give in, this is just the reality. If these young ladies really want to compete with them for the position of concubine, they really have no chance of winning.
So, everyone agreed.
Fu Jiaojiao now seemed to have secured the position of the princess. As a representative, she looked at Hua Yanxi and said, "Okay, we have already discussed it. We will not form a group. Let's compete as we said before."
Hua Yanxi nodded, with a bit of pity in her eyes: "Let's get started. I'll report my number first. Anyone who surpasses me will stand up."
Afterwards, Hua Yanxi took out the exchanged silver notes from her sleeve: "Ignore the fractions, the total is thirty or twenty thousand."
After Hua Yanxi finished speaking, everyone in the hall stood still. One second, two seconds, more than ten seconds passed, and still no one stood up.
Hua Yanxi curled her lips: "No? Then do I win? Everyone is eliminated?"
After Hua Yanxi said this, Fu Jiaojiao finally spoke and looked at the banknote in her hand in disbelief: "You, how could you make so much money in one day? It's impossible.
ah."
Someone also reacted quickly, pointed at Hua Yanxi and said, "You must have cheated!"
"Yes, the tallest among us are Miss Fu and the others. How can there be anyone more powerful than them?"
Hua Yanxi said: "Being better than you means cheating? What kind of logic is this?"
"Then tell me, how did you earn all this money? We have never seen you making money in the palace. Isn't this your own money?"
Hua Yanxi said: "I won't tell you where you earn it. Let me ask first if none of you ladies earn more than me."
Everyone: "..."
How is it possible? Not to mention that there aren't any among them. Even if they were all added up, there wouldn't be so many.
"No." Fu Jiaojiao said aggrievedly: "Now we can tell you how you earned it. If you didn't earn it in the palace, then you are cheating and you lose."
Hua Yanxi nodded and looked at Fu Jiaojiao: "In fact, Miss Fu also contributed to the money."
"I helped? You can't find an excuse and want to drag me into trouble? When have I ever helped you?" Fu Jiaojiao sneered.
Hua Yanxi said: "I made the rouge and gouache you were talking about just now. Among you, whether you have bought it or paid a deposit, you have all helped me."
"Did you do it? I'm afraid you can't find an excuse. Those things are obviously..." Sister Wan, who had not spoken much, spoke up. In the middle of her words, she suddenly thought of something and froze.
Got there.
Hua Yanxi nodded: "Yes, it is indeed from the Taiyuan Hospital. However, the formula is mine and I cooperated with them. I received these 30,000 taels. If you don't believe it, you can go and investigate.
"
With that said, Hua Yanxi turned around, cupped her hands towards the emperor who was sitting on the high throne and said: "Father, my wife and I have cooperated with the doctors from the imperial hospital to develop these rouge gouache, and we also plan to sell these things outside the palace. This
I still hope that my father will give me permission to start this business, and as for the profit sharing, it will be decided by my father."
The emperor naturally knew about this, and also knew that this thing was a huge profit. Seeing that Hua Yanxi was so sensible and planned to take him with her to make money, he was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face: "We will talk about this later."
As soon as these words came out, it was confirmed that Hua Yanxi's money was earned from a legitimate source, and it was also announced that the concubine selection banquet had come to an end, and no one present was selected.
When the ladies from each family left, they were all devastated, as if they had suffered a huge blow.
They never expected that the gouache they particularly liked would be made by the fifth princess. If they had known earlier, even if they liked it, they would not buy it. It would not be possible for her to contribute to sales. It would be like throwing stones at her.
