After Reincarnating, the Ice-Cold Prince Won’t Leave Me Alone

  He looked at the Chinese book in his hand: "As of now, only the Crown Princess and Princess Su are participating in the selection of the priestess."

   After finishing speaking, he looked around at the officials and women sitting in the front row: "The deadline. If there are any other ladies who want to sign up, please hurry up."

  All the female family members shook their heads in unison. Although the Ministry of Rites said that all official female papers above the fourth rank can participate in the election, anyone with a brain knows that this is a fight between the Crown Princess and Su Wangfei?

  The fight between gods and gods, they are not out of their minds, are they okay to join in as cannon fodder?

  Seeing that no one signed up, the clerk of the Ministry of Rites put away the documents and waved to the official who was in charge of running errands behind him.

   Someone came forward with two large baskets, and there were small wooden signs in the baskets. The difference was that the wooden signs in the left basket were tied with red cloth strips, while the right ones were green.

  The clerk of the Ministry of Rites picked up a wooden sign from each of the two baskets, and said to everyone:

   "I will hand out the wooden cards now, and the election will start in a quarter of an hour. The red represents Princess Su, and the green represents the Crown Princess. Because there are too many participants, it is divided into two waves."

   After the words fell, the upright official did not politely ask the opinions of the two parties as usual. Directly let people start to issue signs.

  Feeling being neglected, Su Qing gritted her teeth secretly, and decided to wait until today, and then let this inflexible little official come and go.

   But she wasn't worried at all about what happened next.

  What she really cares about is not offering sacrifices to the goddess, but the high-profile reputation. In her opinion, her selection is a sure thing, and now it's just a formality.

  The people who received the sign couldn't help but look up at Su Qing and Shen Mingjiao who were sitting at the top.

  A red dress like fire, glamorous like a demon, exuding an aura that is not easy to mess with. A fairy in white clothes with a gentle temperament.

   It seems that there is no hesitation in choosing who to choose, but some people look at Gong Jue who is standing silently behind the crowd with his arms hanging. Some thought of what Xu Qing did later in the book, and hesitantly picked up the green sign. In the end, he gritted his teeth and planned to abstain.

  However, there were still quite a few diehard loyalists of Qing or Su Qing, who picked up the green cloth brand without hesitation.

  From the beginning to the end, no one picked up the red cloth sign.

  But at this moment, Shen Mingjiao suddenly raised her head, raised her red lips and smiled brightly at everyone.

  Everyone trembled unconsciously, and the green cloth and wooden signs in their hands fell to the ground with a clatter. However, many people gritted their teeth and clenched the green cards in their hands, lowering their heads and trying to ignore her gaze.

  At this moment, a cool female voice came from next to my ear: "It seems that the soil in the garden is not red enough today!"

  Yun Shu immediately answered with a smile, "Perhaps the moisture of blood is missing!"

  Shen Mingjiao looked at the crowd again, smiling brighter and brighter:

   "It's true, whether those precious flowers and plants can grow well, the nourishment is the key!

   You say, don’t you! "

  It was obviously a normal sentence, but in the ears of everyone present, they could only feel their hearts beating wildly.

  Because in the book, this line appears three times in total, and each time it will be accompanied by a large Shura field, and the scenes become more and more brutal each time.

finally. A timid woman can't stand it. He threw the green card very simply and picked up the red card.

   Someone made a start, and everyone picked up the red card without hesitation.

   Even some of Su Qing's diehard loyalists picked up the red card neatly under her smiling eyes.

  No way, compared to liking Su Qing, obviously his own life is more important.

  Seeing the red wooden cards falling into the basket one after another, Su Qing was dumbfounded.

how so? These people obviously liked her so much just a moment ago. Why did it change the next moment?

  In the end, more than 600 people who participated in the first round of elections all voted red cards, but none of them chose her, Su Qing.

  She couldn't maintain the elegant and calm look on her face anymore, she gritted her teeth and stared at Shen Mingjiao who was indifferent from the beginning to the end:

   "Is that you? What did you do?"

   "You...you hypnotized them so they..."

   No, knowing that Shen Mingjiao knows how to hypnotize, she has deliberately understood it. Even if Shen Mingjiao has some skills, it is impossible to hypnotize so many people at once! And the expressions of these people just now don't seem to be hypnotized...

  She tried hard to recall what Shen Mingjiao said just now, and the way she looked at everyone, she always felt that something was wrong...

  Shen Mingjiao lowered her head slightly, met Su Qing's venomous eyes calmly, and sighed earnestly:

"Su Qing, do you know what it means to be unsatisfactory? In fact, your life is better than many women in this world, but you are just dissatisfied and always want to get everything. But not everything in this world Can be as light as you wish.

  You should know Xu Zhongliang, a former loyal minister! He was just a small county magistrate in a remote county, but he was dedicated to serving the people. In the end, in order to seek justice for the people, he did not hesitate to offend Shang Feng, and was thrown into death row. In order to save him, the people in the small county wrote a blood book written by thousands of people, and they did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to the capital with the determination to beat the drum to sue the imperial court.

   Such a will of the people is absolutely impossible to shake with my little skill. And you want the hearts of the people, but what have you really done for the people?

   If it is true? At most, you contributed money and effort, and contributed a month of entertainment and gossip to the people of the capital.

  So you think you are sought after by thousands of people, and these people like you, which is similar to pursuing an actor and actress! That's why I threatened them casually, and they chose me without hesitation. "

  Although these words contained sarcasm, they were also what she really thought in her heart. However, Su Qing only heard the last sentence.

   "You actually compare me with those lowly actors!"

  Shen Mingjiao was not surprised by her reaction at all, and nodded with a smile: "Yes? You may not be as good as them? They at least rely on their own time to eat, what do you rely on?"

   Facing her beautiful eyes that knew everything, Su Qing almost used all his strength to restrain the urge to rush forward and scratch the face in front of Hua.

  She tried to keep her head calm, although she didn't know what was wrong. But she has to hold on.

  Shen Mingjiao seemed to be impatient, she said to the official of the Ministry of Rites who presided over the election: "Let's start the next wave of elections! Finish things early so you can go home early."

  Su Qing spoke first after she finished speaking: "Princess Su, such a dry campaign is meaningless, why don't we be more special."

  Shen Mingjiao looked up at her, raised her eyebrows with great interest: "Oh, I would like to hear more about it."

   "Let's compete with each other on the talents we are good at, and let the rest of us make the selection."

   Fearing that Shen Mingjiao would not agree, she gritted her teeth and said, "I will take out 10% of all properties under my name as a lottery. If you win, it will be yours. If you lose, I will do the sacrifice to the goddess this time."

  Shen Mingjiao looked up at the sky, dragged her chin and said "Oh" casually:

   "It sounds like I can't lose anything!"

   "Okay! Get ready and start after a cup of tea."

  …

  Different from the hustle and bustle of the Longxing Racecourse, the palace hall was filled with solemnity.

   Today is the half-monthly spring tide meeting, and all officials above the fifth rank of the imperial court will be present.

  At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was a bit stagnant, and there was news from the border, because the winter was coming, Beidi and other nomadic countries showed signs of collective violation of the border.

  This kind of thing is nothing unusual, there will be a little friction at the border every year.

  However, it is said that this time the incident was quite serious. What Feng Lisheng meant was that if it didn't work, he would give them a big deterrent.

   This means going to war.

   All the officials could not accept the news. It will be six years since the Great Xia Kingdom defeated Beidi last time. Why is this going to war again?

  For a while, the court objected everywhere. After all, launching a war is a waste of money and people.

  Jing and Di also felt that it was not time to start a war because of this matter, so they only asked Feng Lisheng to lead people to guard the border.

   Seeing that the officials of the Manchu Dynasty only knew that they were in a corner, the generals headed by Feng Lisheng were not happy. So the two parties started arguing in the hall.

  The Great Court Meeting, which was supposed to end almost at noon, was arguing about this matter for almost a whole morning.

  Jing and Di supported their foreheads with headaches, and asked Su Xiang who was standing in front: "What does Su Aiqing think?"

  Su Xiang had been frowning until now, as if he had encountered something troublesome that he couldn't figure out.

  Ever since he felt rejected by Jing and Di because of what Su Qing did, he has been trying to find a way to remedy it. Right now, he suddenly heard His Royal Highness King Su say that the border is not peaceful, and he was a little stunned for a while.

  Because he hadn't received this news at all before. However, when asked by Jing and Emperor, his expression has not changed at all. It has become an instinct for monarchs and ministers to figure out the holy will over the years. He followed Jing and Di's words and expressed his thoughts.

   As soon as he finished speaking, he was refuted by a group of generals on the opposite side. These generals were no better than civilian officials, and their words were simple and rude.

  Su Xiang frowned and listened. Seeing that it was almost time, the two parties were still getting more and more quarrelsome.

  For some reason, the keenness of being in the officialdom for many years made him intuitively uneasy, and he always felt that something was out of his control.
