The Choice Queen's
TCQ 11: Final Round



Li Fengran really had no spirit anymore to advance to the fourth round. The failures that he planned all actually managed to amaze people.


Now, it was difficult for him to make any more plans. The final round was in sight, if he made the mistake of stunning people again, his life was completely finished.


The fourth round of the finals for this election competition was held in the royal hunting arena. Again no one really understands why the Queen arranged the last two innings with a test of physical skill.


A layman of short thought would think Queen Donghao was selecting a warrior.


In the fourth round, all will be ordered to hunt prey. This hunt is not a real hunt, but it looks like a festival. There will be some servants and eunuchs whose backs are fitted with the names of animals.


After that, the participants had to catch them and put a red stamp on the hand as proof. Each name has a different value.


The flag of the match is already flying. Fei Jia, Shen Lihua, and Su Min with a fiery spirit began to search for their prey.


Meanwhile, Li Fengran was walking unsteadily, with absolutely no interest. After reaching the forest, he sat under a tree, biting a blade of grass and throwing small stones.


“Let them win. Li Fengran, you must fail! Hoam...”


Li Fengran yawned. Drowsiness suddenly came attacking. His body is really tired. Fortunately, the pain from the blow had lessened.


Under the shady tree, Li Fengran fell asleep. He let the other three participants hunt easily and gathered more.


But, his sleep did not last long because someone stepped on his foot. Li Fengran was aghast. In front of him, a female servant who became the symbol of the hunt stared at him unblinkingly.


Li Fengran had a bug for a while, then leaned his body on the tree trunk and ignored the female servant.


“Go. I have no intention of hunting you.”


The waiter gasped, his eyelids flashing a few times. Instead of running away, the maid instead crouched down in front of Li Fengran while thrusting her hand. “Nona, can you give me a stamp?”


Li Fengran opened his eyes. “For what?”


“I don't want to be the hunted material of other participants. Miss can stick my hand if Miss wants.”


“Is this some kind of offer?”


“Not. This is a request for help.”


Li Fengran hesitated, but then took out a red stamp and tasted the servant's hand. The waiter was happy, after saying his thanks, he immediately left.


Li Fengran closed his eyes again, sleeping for a while until the allotted time ran out.


When the three sticks of incense burned down and the sun was about to set, Li Fengran had just walked out of the forest. Signs along the way helped him return to the hunting grounds.


There, Fei Jia, Shen Lihua, and Su Min had already arrived first. People are waiting impatiently.


Li Fengran stared at the ranks of bureaucrats that were at the front. There was only Ling Sui and a few ministers.


It seemed, Nangong Zirui did not take part in the assessment of this last round. Good, thought Li Fengran. That guy won't get him a high score again.


“Let's calculate the acquisition value each participant gets. Fei Jia, fifty points with the symbol of the forest deer and two rabbits.”


“Su Min, sixty points with the symbol of two forest deer.”


“Shen Lihua, eighty points with the symbol of one tiger and one deer.”


Li Fengran had already revealed his smile. This time, he would get a blessing from his value that was far below theirs!


“Li Fengran..” The Minister of Regional Affairs hung up his remarks. “Hundred points with the symbol of a phoenix!”


Li Fengran was dumbfounded, it was fortunate that Xiang Wan was quick to hold him back. God, why is his fate so unlucky!


Maybe he got a hundred and did nothing! Phoenix symbols? Where did he get that symbol from when he himself slept the entire time of the hunt!


Wait up! The waiter, it turns out that the servant was a phoenix symbol!


The waiter looks unusual. Li Fengran regretted that he had placed his red stamp on the servant's hand. The sky and earth seemed to fall upon themselves.


Among those two people, there was only one person who could become Queen Donghao in the future. Ling Sui felt that these two women were very potential with their own uniqueness and talent.


If the position is a draw, then an additional round is needed to determine who deserves to be the candidate of Queen Donghao and who will be sent home. Ling Sui whispered to the Minister of Regional Affairs and told him to announce an additional round.


“Miss Shen Lihua, Miss Li Fengran, Queen Donghao's crown is only one piece. I hope both misses will be willing to follow the final selection to determine who deserves the makhota,” Ling Sui said.


“Your Majesty, Your Majesty does not need to bother adding to the round. I think the crown is more suitable to be worn on the head of Miss Shen Lihua from Zichuan.”


Li Fengran's statement shocked everyone, including Shen Lihua himself. Although she wants to be queen, it does not mean that she will accept the gifts of others.


Shen Lihua was educated in the royal family since childhood, her competitive spirit has been ingrained since the first time her father raised her to be a princess. That statement, of course, will not be accepted.


“Your Majesty, I want to compete fairly. Miss Li, please humble yourself to follow the final selection with me,” Shen Lihua said.


In this way, his pride was saved and whatever the outcome, he would not be a subject of conversation because of receiving opportunities from others.


Li Fengran rolled his eyeballs lazily, clucking small. This person, Li Fengran was happy to give him an easy path, but instead wanted to go through a difficult path.


Ling Sui smiled, then ordered the two ladies to return to the palace to follow the final selection.


They returned to Linglong Palace. The final round of the competition for the election of the future queen was made using the rules of Donghao Royal Palace.


What was contested this time, was returned to the wishes of Queen Donghao. For the final round, Ling Sui used the court lady's tatakrama as competition material.


After all, the person who becomes the queen will face many people and fall into the affairs and problems of the kingdom. At the very least, she should still have good female skills and ethics.


The Minister of Regional Affairs asked the waiter to bring two tables along with a set of tea brewing equipment. Li Fengran and Shen Lihua each gained one spot in the middle of the hall. The time allotted for this competition was half an incense stick.


When Shen Lihua started brewing tea, Li Fengran was speechless. He just looked at the tea makers without interest.


In the real state, jobs like brewing tea and drinks are only done by certain people, or by those who work in cafes or bars. As for what his art looked like, Li Fengran really did not know.


“I should brew it like this? Or like this? Hey, how do I weigh it?”


Li Fengran flipped through the equipment several times. As half the incense sticks were about to run out, Li Fengran poured the powdered tea into a cup, added sugar and brewed it with hot water without regard to the dosage.


He also stirred it originally. The tea is flavorful, but it doesn't look special.


“Nona Shen, Miss Li, please serve her tea,” said Minister of Regional Affairs.


Shen Lihua and Li Fengran advanced before Ling Sui. The Donghao Queen who had been smiling all day welcomed the two of them.


Everyone should give the tea to Ling Sui to try the taste. Shen Lihua was very confident, she advanced first and thrust her tea at Ling Sui.


“Your Majesty, please,” he said. Ling Sui accepted it, smelled it, and started drinking it. His expression looked very satisfied.


When it was Li Fengran's turn, I don't know what happened, his legs suddenly tripped. Apparently, the tip of his clothes was stepped on by Shen Lihua. Li Fengran knew, but he deliberately did not care about it.


This will be a golden opportunity for him. Li Fengran put extra force on his legs, until his body was pushed forward and almost fell down. Her steeping tea instantly spilled over her hands and part of her skirt.


“Aaahh!” said it. Ling Sui and the others were startled, as soon as they stood up to see what was really going on.


“Your Majesty, please forgive. I snagged the tip of my clothes and accidentally spilled the tea. Your Majesty, please Your Majesty be merciful,” he said again, then after that Li Fengran knelt down.


Ling Sui sighed. He knew this woman did it intentionally. He immediately approached her, telling her to get up. “What is your hand hurt?”


“No, Your Grace. The water is not too hot.”


Thanks to this incident, Li Fengran would definitely get a small grade. There was no replay or second chance, as the selection process had already reached the final stage.


The end result will be set soon and Donghao will soon have a new queen candidate. At the moment when people were deep in thought, Li Fengran was precisely laughing very loudly in his heart.


He could leave this palace immediately!
