Su Ying asked everyone to get up.

"All of you must have rested for the past few days. The second round of tests is actually not difficult. It depends on your eyesight."

Su Ying waved his hand, and the waiter came up carrying a table. On the table were three identical cups, and there were three small balls of different colors, red, yellow, and blue, on the side of the cups.

The ladies all looked at the things on the table curiously, and some of them couldn't help but smile with determination.

There is a folk trick in Beijing, which is to put these small balls into a cup and then change the position of the cup, and then guess what color ball is in which cup.

A few young ladies who liked to play looked at each other. They already knew the tricks of this kind of tricks, and they could answer no matter what Su Ying asked.

After the waiter put down the table, Zhou Qing said: "You ladies have also seen these small balls. The rule of today's game is to guess the balls. The ladies only need to see the condition of these balls clearly after the game starts, and then answer the question of your empress. Questions are enough, and those who answer correctly will be able to enter the next round of competition."

Sure enough, they guessed right!

Su Ying propped her forehead with her fingertips, and said lazily, "If you are ready, let's start."

"yes."

Zhou Qing stepped aside and let a little maid come forward, and before starting, the little maid put the balls in front of everyone to let them confirm, "All the ladies have seen these balls clearly, they are red, yellow and blue. There are three balls, no problem?"

The ladies shook their heads, "No problem."

"Okay, the servant girl will start."

The palace lady put three balls of different colors into the cups, and then quickly started to turn the cups. All the movements were completed under the eyes of everyone.

"When the ladies say stop, the slaves will stop."

"stop!"

The maid quickly straightened the three cups with both hands and then pulled them away.

"Your Majesty, you can ask questions now." Zhou Qing walked up to Su Ying and spoke softly.

"Well, my question is, how many balls are there in this cup, and what color are they?"

As soon as Su Ying finished speaking, the inner hall was in an uproar.

Is the queen releasing water for them on purpose? Just now everyone saw that the maid put three small balls into the cup, and there were three small balls in red, yellow and blue!

But the question Su Ying asked was too easy, so easy that they were not sure the answer was this.

There must be fraud in this, maybe one or two or even three balls were taken out when the maid turned the cup!

Yes, it must be so!

"You all have thought it through clearly." As soon as Su Ying finished speaking, the maid came up with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and asked them to come forward one by one to write their own answers.

"Don't whisper, after all, it is your competitor who is communicating with you now."

As soon as these words came out, the inner hall was instantly so quiet that a needle could be heard falling, and everyone silently wrote down their answers.

Originally thought it was an extremely simple exam question, but who knew that Su Ying did not follow the routine at all, and everyone's hearts were in suspense before the answer was revealed.

"Your Majesty, all the ladies have written down their answers."

"En." Su Ying responded lightly and straightened up, asking the maid to open the teacup to reveal the answer.

The maid got Su Ying's order and then dropped her hands back to open the three teacups one by one.

When everyone saw the three balls lying quietly on the table, they were stunned and speechless.

The queen didn't let the maids do any tricks, she really just put water on them!

All the young ladies wanted to pound the ground in annoyance!

Su Ying asked the maids to read everyone's answers in public, and almost no one wrote the correct answers. At the end of the reading, only three people got it right.

Su Ying glanced lightly across the faces of those annoyed ladies, "Do you still remember what this question is about?"

The lady who won one of the pink dresses stood up and said, "Ms. Hui, you said from the beginning that the test is about eyesight."

Su Ying nodded slightly, "That's right, it's eyesight. I don't know if the rest of you are blind. Didn't you see those three balls?"

Everyone: "..."

"Okay, let's all go back, the three of you just wait for my palace to send someone to pass on a message to you."

The faces of the three winners all showed delighted expressions, "Thank you, Madam, I will retire."

A group of noble ladies withdrew unwillingly.

"I think the queen is clearly playing with us, she just doesn't want us to enter the palace!"

"That's right, how could there be such a thing in the draft before? All the rules let the queen say that she is dead. The emperor has no chance to see us at all. How do you know that the emperor will not want to keep us?"

"That's all for us, no matter what Yun'er is, she is the eldest granddaughter of Lord Jingguo, the most talented woman in the capital, and her appearance is even more charming. It would be a pity if she couldn't enter the palace."

Among the young ladies, a figure stood out from the crowd. She had black hair in a high bunch, and she only wore a pearl as an embellishment on her smooth and full forehead, but it was precisely this simple dress that brought out her extraordinary temperament.

On her round oval face is a pair of bright red phoenix eyes, and under her upturned and small nose is a ruddy cherry mouth. This appearance is paired with an elegant dress. At first glance, she looks like a fairy down to earth. It's too beautiful to dare to desecrate.

It's just that there is a trace of melancholy in the brows of such an out-of-this-world beauty.

"The emperor is here..."

The high-pitched singing made all the ladies excited.

Apart from the rare palace banquets, this is the first time that they have been able to have such close contact with the emperor.

If you can get the emperor's blue eyes at this time...

Everyone retreated to both sides and bowed to salute.

Chu Yun retreated to the palace wall and slowly bent down, but when she bowed, because of the slippery feet, she staggered and fell into the snow.

She was startled, but still managed to get up calmly.

In an instant, a piece of bright yellow clothes appeared in front of his eyes.

Chu Yun raised her head helplessly, and met a pair of abyss-like black eyes, deep in the eyes seemed to be a pair of soul-stirring hands, pulling all her mind away.

Chu Yun only heard a low voice coming from her ear, which shocked her, "Get up."

Before Chu Yun regained consciousness, that figure had disappeared before her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, someone stepped forward to help Chu Yun up, "Miss Chu, are you alright?"

Chu Yun came back to her senses, and turned to look in the direction where the figure left, eager to pursue it, but the person had already disappeared from sight.

"Miss Chu, how are you doing?"

The lady who usually played well with Chu Yun saw that Chu Yun was silent, so she yelled again.

Chu Yun really came back to her senses this time, only to realize her gaffe just now.

"It's so dangerous, I almost fell on the emperor just now."
