All twenty talented women were displayed. Musicians and maki from the music shop in the palace performed on stage. There is no computer now, so the scores and votes are calculated manually, which takes time.

A quarter of an hour later, the number of votes was counted. The shopkeeper came to the stage and then the number of votes. The two were converted to the total score. "The first place in the men's group, Mr. Li Xia... The first place in the women's group, Miss Lu Fang, Miss Jiang Wanqiu... The third place in Miss Gu Yuezhen... The seventh place in Miss Chen Lin..."

In addition to the first place, other rankings also have wealth rewards. For these young men and ladies, they did not see this little gold and silver; but Yan Huo drew pictures and asked someone to make medals with the words "Which place is in the talent conference?"

It has nothing to do with money, it is glory, and the talented men and women are very happy. Princess Chengyang announced another good news, "Your Majesty will grant the top ten to exempt one year of taxes." The lady who withdrew from the competition was very upset,

Although the family is not short of this tax and silver, who would think it is too much? This is a real benefit. The talented women smiled reservedly, and their status at home will be improved. Among the talented men, who have the absurd personality, shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

At the beginning, there were only a few people shouting. As they shouted, the audience in the audience also started to shout. The eunuch sent by the emperor to supervise couldn't stop smiling. When he returned to the palace to report his life, he described the scene to the emperor and Queen Shen.

"Thanks to Zi Tong." The emperor patted Queen Chen's hand, and the tax reduction was recommended by Queen Chen.

Queen Chen laughed, "Then you have to adopt it too."

The talent conference ended successfully. The Crown Princess and Princess Su handed over the list. The top 20 women's group were eliminated, and the one who withdrew from the competition was removed from the list. There were only nineteen people. The Crown Princess carefully wrote about the appearance of the nineteen people, the character, family background, and the talents they learned.

Queen Chen looked through it and smiled and said, "It's hard for you to think so carefully. It will be much more convenient to choose others in the future."

"It's all Xiaoxiao's idea." The Crown Princess did not take credit.

"She is smart, and you work hard." Queen Chen was happy and gave a bunch of things to the three of them.

The heat of the talent conference has not yet dissipated, and the official media travels to households and is very busy. The annual Cuju competition has also begun, with the city's events constantly and lively. The merchants are all making a fortune and are overjoyed all day long.

One day at the end of August, Honeysuckle brought back a message, "Young lady, the King of Qin has conferred a concubine."

Yan Hu was shocked. In his early years, the King of Qin and the Princess of Qin were considered loving couples. Later, due to some things, the relationship between the couple faded, but the King of Qin still gave the Princess of Qin the honor of the family. Over the years, except for the Princess of Qin, there were only two concubines who had no children around him. How could he suddenly enthrone a concubine?

"Go and inquire... Forget it, don't go inquire. Danggui will write a post and invite Mrs. Bao Er to come and be a guest." Yan Huo decided to inquire with well-informed people.

But before the post was delivered, Yu Qingqing came to the door, "It's so hot that it's so hot that Qiu Laohu is really skinned."

Yan Huti Po poured her a cup of mint tea, "Drink a cup to relieve the heat."

Yu Qingqing drank the cup and said, "One more."

Yan Hu poured her a cup again. Yu Qingqing didn't drink it this time, and sat down on the couch with the cup. "The King of Qin has conferred a concubine, do you know?"

"I just heard from Honeysuckle and was thinking about asking you over. Ask the reason, you are here." Yan Huo smiled.

Yu Qingqing took a sip of tea and said, "I tell you that Princess Qin has a brain problem."

"What's wrong?" Yan Huo frowned. Could it be that Princess Qin wanted the title of King Qin?

Yu Qingqing sneered twice and said, "A few days ago, Princess Qin went to Princess Zhao's mother's house to attend a banquet. Do you guess what she said was unpleasant?"

"Didn't she go out for social events?" Yan Hu asked.

"Princess Zhao is her sister-in-law. I think she went there because she gave Princess Zhao face. But she might as well not go. She said in front of the wife of Mr. Chen, Jiangnan is so thin." Yu Qingqing rolled her eyes and said.

Yan Hu was stunned, "She was crazy? Why did she say that? Did Mrs. Chen offend her?" Although Yan Huo was mourning at home, he also knew that the new Grand Tutor Chen was from Jiangnan. In the royal family circle, most of the northern women were from Jiangnan, but there were many powerful ministers, and most of their wives were from Jiangnan women. The words of the Princess Qin offended a large number of people.

"Who knows what's crazy about her? My sister-in-law was there at the time. When she heard her say this, she was shocked. Everyone said in private that the banquet would not invite the Princess Qin in the future." Yu Qingqing said angrily.

"This matter has not spread." Yan Huo said with a faint smile.

Yu Qingqing curled his lips, "It's not that there was no transmission, but that you know that you have a good relationship with the princess. No one came to you to spread it. I'm going back to my parents' home. Listen to what my sister-in-law said, otherwise I wouldn't have known about this."

"Is this matter related to the conferred concubine of the King of Qin?" Yan Hu asked.

"Of course it's related. You're really smart and confused for a while." Yu Qingqing stretched out his hand and poked Yan Hu's forehead.

"The King of Qin enthroned the concubine to her to have her housekeeper and go out for social activities, right?" Yan Huo frowned. The princess of the King of Qin was mourned for three years because of her mother's demise, and the filial piety period was almost over. She would definitely ask for the housekeeper's right when she entered the house, but would the concubine be willing to hand over the rights in her hands? The King of Qin was also doing a silly thing.

"The housekeeper probably won't let her take care of it. I guess she's going out for social events." Yu Qingqing speculated.

"In the past few years, it was no big deal for the Princess Qin to not go out for socializing. Is it necessary to enthrone a concubine in order to go out for socializing?" Yan Huo curled his lips.

"There is any other intention to enthrone the concubine in Qin?" Yu Qingqing said with her chin.

"It should be." Yan Huo sighed, feeling that the Qin Palace would be in chaos in the future.

"Do you want to write a letter to the princess?" Yu Qingqing asked.

Yan Huo thought for a while and said, "It's useless to tell Heyi. It's so far away, and even if she comes back now, her concubine has been enthroned. Don't worry her."

Yu Qingqing also nodded with a depressed expression.

"By the way, which family is that concubine?" Yan Hu asked.

"I heard that he is the daughter of a seventh-rank official, whose surname is Huang." Yu Qingqing replied.

The two chatted for a while, then Yu Qingqing said goodbye and went home. Yan Huo sent her outside the second gate and watched her get on the carriage.

The Princess Qin was not clear-headed and talked nonsense for her sister who was jealous of her concubine, which made the King of Qin furious and locked her up in the house and refused to let her go. In order to make her have something to do, she conferred a concubine and let them make a fuss at home. It would be better to make a fuss at home than to make a fuss outside.

As for Mr. Lu, the King of Qin prohibited her from entering and leaving the King of Qin's Mansion, so that she would instigate the Princess of Qin to do something brainless if she had nothing to do.
