Li Jiajing gradually became familiar with the daily work of serving the emperor, and during this time she pleaded for mercy to rescue Qingyi.

Qingyi begged for mercy and wanted to follow Li Jiajing.

Gao Feng asked the emperor for permission, and Qingyi began to serve Li Jiajing specifically.

Qingyi agreed on the surface, but in fact she was furious. One day, she would trample her under her feet. She had seen herself in the most miserable state, so why should she still serve Li Jiajing?

In the golden autumn of October, the weather was clear and crisp. The best people from the south had already gathered in the capital.

With the order, the first competition officially began in the school martial arts field.

The emperor and his courtiers occupied high positions, and opposite them were the common people, to whom some people were allowed to enter.

The two people in the field fought fiercely. After a standoff that lasted for a stick of incense, the winner soon emerged, and then another group of contestants came.

Helian Cheng watched, nodding silently. The Southerners were simply too numerous; this time alone, there were no fewer than a hundred of them. Judging from the first match, both of them were the real deal.

The morning competition is over, and ten winners have been selected. We will take a break at noon and continue in the afternoon.

After half a month of continuous competition, ten winners were finally selected. Although it was just a simple duel.

Helian Cheng arranged for three of the winners to stay in the court, and the rest to stay outside the court to see their respective achievements.

Whether from the south or the north, as long as they serve this dynasty, they can be promoted.

Helian Cheng returned to the palace happily.

Qingyi looked at the emperor and quickly performed.

"Your Majesty, have some tea."

Helian Cheng looked at Qingyi busying herself while Li Jiajing stood there like a wooden statue, and was very angry.

If someone had brought Li Jiajing to her, she would not have been able to seize the opportunity.

Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Qingyi smiled proudly at Li Jiajing.

Today Helian Cheng treated Qingyi differently. Qingyi took the lead in many matters and pushed Li Jiajing aside.

In the evening, return to residence.

Qingyi came back and saw that Xi Jiajing had already returned.

Patting his shoulder, he said, "Oh, I'm really tired after a hard day's work. Jiajing, go get me a basin of water so I can soak my feet."

Li Jiajing didn't indulge her, "We are of the same rank, you are not qualified to order me around."

"you."

Qingyi thought that this was only the first day, and she felt insecure and could only hum.
