Chapter 807 Shock
Luo Qinghan: "What is running with the ball?"
Xiao Xixi touched her belly and said, "I'm just going to run away with the baby in my belly and never come back."
Luo Qinghan: "How far can you run? If you run ten miles, you will die."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
I almost forgot that I now share a life with him.
Not to mention running away, she would die even if she ran away.
Xiao Xixi sighed: "It seems that I can't experience the excitement of running with the ball in the storybook."
Luo Qinghan: "If you want excitement, just have more children. There is nothing more exciting than having children in this world."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
Forget it, she gave up.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
The storytelling competition has also entered the final judging stage.
Xiao Xixi finished reading all the storybooks that had been collected, and Concubine Li and Concubine Yao also read a lot of them.
The three of them gathered together to discuss which storybook was better.
Concubine Li likes to read happy stories, while Concubine Yao likes to read sweet stories.
Xiao Xixi can read any kind of writing, as long as it is well-written. However, if she has to choose, she still prefers writing with unique ideas and bold themes.
Because of their different preferences, the three people had different opinions.
To be fair, they decided to find someone to judge.
Xiao Xixi found the emperor without hesitation and asked him to help choose the best one.
The book that Luo Qinghan finally chose was a book called "Travels of the Four Directions".
This book tells the story of a Taoist priest who travels around. He records everything he sees and hears on the road and writes it down in this book.
It can’t really be called miscellaneous notes.
After all, what it writes is very serious, and it involves a lot of knowledge related to religion.
If it is described as a movie, it must be classified as a documentary.
Xiao Xixi would never watch this kind of movie.
She glanced at Luo Qinghan silently.
"You don't believe in religion, do you? This storybook contains many religious stories."
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "I don't believe in religion, but that doesn't stop me from learning about it. Only by understanding it can I know how to deal with it."
Xiao Xixi was speechless.
You are truly worthy of being the king of a country!
Although Luo Qinghan gave a strong reason, Xiao Xixi still refused to choose "Four Directions Travel Notes" as the final winner.
She left the palace to find Luo Yechen and asked him to choose the one he thought was the best from those storybooks.
Luo Yechen had already finished reading these stories.
He gave the title of a book without hesitation.
"I like "The First Man" the most!"
Just by listening to the name, you can tell that this is a story about a chivalrous hero.
Xiao Xixi read this storybook and was deeply impressed by it.
This story tells the story of a young master from a wealthy family who, by chance, obtains a long-lost martial arts manual. With this manual, he successfully dominates the martial arts world and becomes the greatest hero in the world, unprecedented and unrivaled.
During this process, the hero practices martial arts, upgrades his skills, slaps the scumbag in the face, and at the same time gains one girl after another.
That’s right, this is a real stallion article!
The author of this article is also a talented person. Every time he writes about the male protagonist practicing martial arts and bullying the scumbag, he just mentions it briefly. Every time he writes about the male protagonist picking up a girl, he describes the process in great detail.
After reading the whole article, I can only feel the feeling of four words——
The aroma of meat is everywhere.
Although Xiao Xixi likes to read this kind of erotic novels, she doesn't like stallion novels.
Therefore, in her mind, this book "The First Hero" can only be considered upper-middle quality, not top-quality.
Luo Yechen, however, particularly liked this storybook and praised it highly, and threatened to meet the author of the storybook in person. He also wanted to print the storybook and sell it in a bookstore.
He believes that there will be many people who like this story as much as he does!
Xiao Xixi refused to select "The First Hero" as the final winner.
Luo Yechen immediately became unhappy.
"Such a good work, why can't it win? There must be something wrong with your vision!"
The two argued for a long time about who would be chosen as the winning work.
In the end, no one succeeded in convincing anyone else.
Seeing that they were arguing so hard that their faces turned red, Bu Shengyan made a suggestion.
"Since the opinions of the two of you alone cannot select the best work, why not let more people make the choice, and let the minority obey the majority. The work with the most supporters will be the final winner, how do you say?"
At the moment, Xiao Xixi and Luo Yechen could not find a more suitable method, so they could only adopt Bu Shengyan's opinion.
As a result, the rules of the storytelling competition were temporarily changed.
Luo Yechen had all the storytellers in the city gathered together, and then distributed the participating scripts. He asked these storytellers to tell these stories in various teahouses and taverns every day. After five days, a unified vote would be held, and the story with the highest number of votes would become the final winner.
His Royal Highness the King of England was very generous and gave each storyteller a heavy silver ingot before the lecture began.
After the game, each of them will get two silver ingots.
With the money, these storytellers were naturally very excited and told stories with great enthusiasm.
The people had heard about the storytelling competition a long time ago, but they never expected that the final result of the competition would be decided by them.
This feeling is quite fresh.
For a time, the storytelling competition became a hot topic in the city, and even the noble families had heard of it.
Everyone can't help talking about this matter when they get together and chat. Those who don't know about it don't even have a chance to interrupt during the party. They immediately feel like they are being outdone. After returning home, they naturally have to catch up on the news in this regard to avoid the embarrassing situation of not being able to get a word in next time.
As a result, more and more people are paying attention to the storytelling competition.
Unconsciously, it gradually overshadowed the negative impact of the Xixiang Pavilion fire.
Five days passed in a flash.
It’s time to vote.
Every teahouse or tavern has a voting box. Any customer who has consumed food in the teahouse or tavern can put a piece of paper with the title of the book they support into the voting box.
In order to prevent cheating and disruption, there are people guarding each ballot box.
At night, all the ballot boxes will be collected and sent to the British palace.
Luo Yechen and Xiao Xixi sat nearby, watching the servants count the votes.
The story that received the most votes was "One Hundred Ways to Kill a Scumbag".
Xiao Xixi: “…”
Luo Yechen: “…”
Luo Yechen was shocked.
Why is there such a strange book title?
What’s even more strange is why this kind of book received the most votes?
If he hadn't sent people to supervise the entire voting process, he would have suspected that there was some shady deal going on.
Xiao Xixi was also shocked.
This storybook was written by Concubine Li, and the name of the storybook was also chosen by Concubine Li herself.
Although there is nothing wrong with her writing style and rhythm, there are actually many scripts that are better written than hers.
Why did she win in the end?
What happened to the people in Shengjing City?
Why did they choose a story that is full of complaints from its name to its content when there are so many wonderful stories to tell?
