Chapter 88 Three Winners
It is said that people can't be happy and sad, otherwise it's almost enough not to fall down.
Xiang Zixi didn't climb out of this accident this time and fell ill gorgeously.
Originally, there was a whip wound on her back, but later she soaked in cold water and was almost strangled to death. When she finally woke up, she was stimulated by the spirit and drenched by the spring rain. If she was still as happy as Xiaoqiang, I guess it would be abnormal, right?
So, Xiang Zixi's illness lasted for seven days. By the time she could walk on the ground, the final of the food festival was over.
In the past seven days, Jin Haoxuan and Ji Yan did not know if they had reached any consensus. The two never mentioned that incident again. The two tacitly stayed by Xiang Zixi's bedside and took turns to help Xiang Zixi expel the cold air from her body with internal forces to help her absorb the effect of the medicine as soon as possible and quickly recover.
The whiplash on Shen Zhuangmeng's back has been almost healed, so she also took care of Xiang Zixi with Xiao Pangpang and her maid.
So, on the first day after the food festival, Xiang Zixi finally opened her eyes.
"Ah ah————" Before getting out of bed, Xiang Zixi shouted in pain: "What's wrong with me? Why are you weak all over?"
Little fat rushed in with water, quickly put down the basin, and held Xiang Zixi: "My miss, just stay there! You have never been so seriously ill before!"
"Ah, little fat, why are you here? Aren't you at the food festival?" Xiang Zixi's face was painful: "Why do I feel sore all over!"
"My miss, you just remembered this! The food festival ended yesterday! As for your soreness all over, it's because you have had a high fever for seven days!" Little Pang Pang gave her a white look: "I really don't know what happened to you! As soon as I came back, I saw you burning like charcoal! Fortunately, I'm here. If I don't come, who will take care of you!"
Xiang Zixi smiled bitterly, and it seems that he always misses a lot of interesting things! I really didn't expect that I had a fever for seven days! You are really in a hurry!
Shen Zhuangmeng came in with a tea tray: "You finally woke up. It really scared us to death!"
Shen Zhuangmeng picked up a blue and white porcelain bowl, sat by the bed, took a sauce and put a mouthful of porridge to cool it on his lips, and handed it to Xiang Zixi's mouth: "You have just subsided your fever, and you can't eat anything too greasy. Eat some porridge first."
"Thank you, Zhuang Meng!" Xiang Zixi looked at Shen Zhuangmeng with complicated eyes. That day, Shen Zhuangmeng desperately jumped on himself to block the whip for himself. He remembered it clearly! I blocked the whip for her because I was confident in my body, but it was really valuable to let a spoiled lady make such a choice.
"You're welcome! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be implicated by me! Speaking of which, I still want to apologize to you!" Shen Zhuangmeng looked apologetic: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been hurt like this!"
"Don't say that, we are sisters, aren't we?" Xiang Zixi gently held Shen Zhuangmeng's hand: "We are friends and sisters, and we never need to be so polite!"
Shen Zhuangmeng laughed gently and continued to feed Zixi.
"I have good news for you. We are really shortlisted for the top three!" Shen Zhuangmeng sighed: "However, if I had known that I would pay such a big price for being shortlisted for the top three, I would rather not!"
"Why not?" Xiang Zixi ate the white porridge handed over by Shen Zhuangmeng in one bite: "Well, let's completely move the potato market to the capital, so that the market will be bigger?"
"Zixi, do you have any plans?" Shen Zhuangmeng looked straight: "Yesterday, I received a lot of reports that all the clothes of our lady's workshop have been imitated. What a damn stealing!"
"Oh? Is that right? There are really no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings!" Xiang Zixi sneered: "It seems that we should really free our hands to solve this problem!" Zhuang Meng, I'm almost ready. Help me bathe and change clothes. I'm going to meet someone!"
"Who are you going to meet?"
"Xiao Zimo!"
"What are you going to do with him? Now he is very busy dealing with the envoys of the other three countries!"
"Ah, how can I forget this stubble!" Xiang Zixi patted his head: "However, such a thing as making a trademark can only be discussed with him! If you don't look for him, then you can only find Xiahou Junhao! But he is the emperor, how can I find him?
"You, you!" Shen Zhuangmeng pushed his forehead to Zixi: "Have you forgotten me? Have you forgotten what my aunt does?
"Yes! How did I forget! Your aunt has a lot of relationships in the capital. You can introduce a lady through her, and then follow her to the palace to meet the emperor. Xiang Zixi's eyes lit up, and then gloomy: "I didn't know he was the emperor before, but if I knew that he was today's emperor, I wouldn't let him go!"
Shen Zhuangmeng shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
"Because of the food festival, our potatoes are famous this time. I don't know how many people come to ask for * every day!" Xiao Pangpang said with a smile, "But we only ordered potatoes in total, because the food festival consumed more than half, and the rest is only three or two baskets. Miss, if you don't wake up, I don't know what this restaurant will look like!"
Xiang Zixi and Shen Zhuangmeng smiled at each other, and the purpose of participating in the food festival was finally achieved.
It takes a process to cultivate potatoes, and it will take about two months to receive the next shipment. It seems that it is necessary for me to do something more about this potato!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
A man in an official hat stood respectfully at the door: "Is this Miss Xiang's residence, please?"
Nod to Zixi: "I am to Zixi!"
The man in official clothes and hat stepped forward, bowed 90 degrees, stepped forward with a golden silk suit in his hand, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Miss Xiang, Miss He Xi Xiang, Miss Xiang was shortlisted for the top three, ranking second, which is the eye of the list!"
Xiang Zixi and Shen Zhuangmeng looked at each other and were surprised: "You mean, I'm the second place on the list?"
The young man in the official hat replied with a smile, "Exactly! This is the list given to the lady by the monarchs of the four countries. Please accept it!"
Little Fatty quickly took it over and rewarded the young man by the way.
The young man smiled and continued to say, "Three days later, the list of the top three will officially announce the world. At that time, Miss Xiang will listen to the order to enter the palace to thank you! Miss Xiang, remember!"
"You have worked hard!" Xiang Zixi replied with a smile.
Send away the young man in official clothes and hats, Xiang Zixi and Shen Zhuangmeng hugged excitedly and watched together. Both of them burst into tears and couldn't believe that they had won the title of the list!
"No! It's not easy for me to break into the top three at best, which is only under the deliberate operation of others. How did it suddenly climb to the top of the list? Xiang Zixi said puzzledly, "Even if Lin Muyang tries his best to help me, he can only help me advance to the top three. How can he rise to the top of the list all of a sudden?"
Shen Zhuangmeng smiled faintly at the corners of his mouth, glanced at Zixi, and said with a smile, "That's because the nobles in Yao's capital collectively decided to give you all the votes!"
"What? What do you mean!" Xiang Zixi was stunned: "What is the votes of the nobles of Yao Kingdom have been given to me!"
"That's what it means!" Shen Zhuangmeng handed the teacup to Xiang Zixi and said softly, "After the first day of the final of the food festival, the nobles of Yaoguo sent a representative to us and told us that they would give up this year's competition and spare no effort to help us get the top three places. And that representative is Qian Yingying!"
Xiang Zixi's eyebrows jumped: "How could it be her?" The one who doesn't like me the most is probably her?"
Shen Zhuangmeng spread out his hands: "Who said no? However, she was also the first to give up her hand and choose to help you!"
Xiang Zixi laughed. This woman is really fickle! Sure enough, it's an M. Is the tendency to be abused so serious?
"As far as I know, this situation is due to Xiahou Junhao." Shen Zhuangmeng looked at Zixi with a meaningful look: "I didn't expect that he really has a conscience. Although he didn't appear from the end of the food festival, he is still very concerned about you. I heard that you are determined to succeed and use the authority in your hand to help you fulfill this wish."
The heroic face flashed in front of Zixi's eyes and couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, the final result turned out like this. Originally, this was a struggle between the country and the country, nobles and civilians, but this year's food festival completely broke this pattern and resulted in such a result.
It's just because there is an extra Xiang Zixi at this year's food festival!
Shen Zhuangmeng looked at Xiang Zixi's distracted face and felt indescribable. The woman in front of her is indeed not charming, but there are always so many high-profile men who are willing to make their own sacrifices for her. If you didn't understand it before, but the deeper you have contact with Xiang Zixi, the more addicted you will be. What's more, what about yourself, not to mention others?
There are always countless strange ideas in her mind, and there is always unstoppable motivation. That amazing execution and action power made everyone amazed.
"Ah, by the way, we are on the list, so who are the top students and Tanhua this year?" Xiang Zixi suddenly became curious: "Are they all nobles?"
"No hurry, won't you know in three days?" Shen Zhuangmeng said with a smile, "That's good, so we don't have to go to my aunt. We can go to the palace openly!" Ah, I'm looking forward to it! It is said that the palace is beautiful and beautiful, and the concubines are all beautiful!"
Xiang Zixi laughed and said, "The palace is beautiful, but the women living in the inner courtyard of the palace are far from the happiness and freedom we have! In the final analysis, freedom is more valuable!"
"Zi Xi, are you awake?" There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Jin Haoxuan and Ji Yan appeared at the door at the same time.
Xiang Zixi noticed that because of Ji Yan's arrival, Shen Zhuangmeng's eyes lit up in an instant, and her heart couldn't help tightening.
