Chapter 254 Sauvignon Blanc 11
Xihe Palace is Ling Xi's palace. The name Xihe was chosen by King Hao Ling himself, representing King Hao Ling's expectations.

In the hall, Ling Xi was holding a bamboo slip and looking at the detailed information of the women from noble families who came to participate in the companion selection.

Ling Xi tapped on the bamboo slips, clicking on a name, his eyes slightly lighting up.

Fangfeng Yiying? The youngest daughter of the Fangfeng clan. Her cultivation was not very high, but she inherited the abilities of her ancestors. Her archery ability was the best among the Fangfeng clan's generation, and she was more talented than her elder brother Fangfeng Zheng.

It is rumored that Fangfeng's ancestor was an unparalleled archer who once shot down the sun. He was a brave and unparalleled marksman in the wilderness.

It’s just that Fangfeng family is not as good as before. It has been going downhill year after year and has fallen behind the big families for a long time.

But the children of Fangfeng family in this generation are quite good. The eldest son Fangfeng Zheng is steady and down-to-earth, the youngest daughter Fangfeng Yiying is extremely talented. Only the second son Fangfeng Bei is now addicted to gambling and has no knowledge or skills.

The head of the family, Fangfeng Xiaoguai, did not neglect his daughter's thoughts, and he also paid attention to the training of Fangfeng Yiying. The family was quite harmonious.

When clicking on Fangfeng Yiying's name, Ling Xi had some ideas in his mind.

Putting Fangfeng Yiying's name aside, Ling Xi picked up the next bamboo slip.

She Shuhui, the daughter of She clan, one of the six major clans in the Central Plains, was intelligent, dignified, gentle and lovely.

Ling Xi held the bamboo slips in his hand, and he felt a certain fondness for this Miss Xie. She was a girl from one of the six clans, and had a close relationship with the Tushan clan. She was Tushan's cousin, but she wanted to be a companion to Princess Haoling.

Fangfeng Yiying and Xie Shuhui are very suitable for the role of companion study.

She came from a clan, but not one of the four major clans, so she would not arouse the four major clans' vigilance. She could even reach a cooperation with Tushan clan through She Shuhui.

Fangfeng Yiying is obviously a good candidate for martial arts training, and She Shuhui has a gentle personality. These two, one literary and one martial, should be able to cooperate well with each other.

At the same time, a commoner must be added as a reading companion, so that the selection of reading companions can come to a perfect conclusion.

She can't offend either side and has to keep things fair.

He looked at some more information about the women from noble families who came this time, but he didn't see anyone more outstanding than Fangfeng Yiying and She Shuhui, so he put down the bamboo slips.

Three days later, Ling Xi took An Nian to the selection venue.

After all, it was they who wanted to choose a study partner, and as princesses, the two sisters naturally had to show up.

Ling Xi took An Nian's hand and walked calmly and leisurely to the high platform.

Ling Xi wore a red dress embroidered with gold edges, while An Nian wore a princess's dress with a white background and gold embroidery. The two sisters were particularly eye-catching on the stage.

Especially Ling Xi, who was born cute and fair. Although she was young, she had a strong aura. One glance would reveal that she was of extraordinary status.

Some of the people present were not fools. When they saw Ling Xi, they naturally realized that she was the second princess of Haoling, the future King of Haoling.

This companion selection was organized by Ruoshou. Facts have proved that Ruoshou is incredibly capable. Although he is young, he did an excellent job without any mistakes.

Ling Xi and Anian came to the scene and took a look around. Ling Xi gave all the young women present some spiritual chicken soup and encouraged them. After all, to be her study partner, one must have enough ambition to support them.

She doesn't want a study partner who, after staying with her for a long time, just walks away and gets married without caring about anything. That would be a waste of time for her.

A woman without ambition will not stay with her for long. As for the selection process, it is divided into literary and martial arts tests, and in addition, the specialties of those people will be examined.

The selection questions were set by Ling Xi, but she didn't take care of other things. Rushou and Qin Mang would take care of those people's affairs.

And the final result was indeed as Ling Xi had thought at the beginning. She Shuhui and Fangfeng Yiying were indeed carefully trained by aristocratic families and should not be underestimated.

In the literary test, She Shuhui ranked first, Fangfeng Yiying ranked second, and in the martial arts test, Fangfeng Yiying was the undisputed first. Both of them had their own characteristics and were equally matched.

There is also a god, a commoner named Qianxun, who is unexpectedly good at formations. She defeated her opponents with the help of formations and achieved considerable results. She is also good at casting skills, such as weapons and shipbuilding.

This surprised Ling Xi. She seldom met people who were good at formations, so she took Qianxun as her study companion.

From then on, all three study partners for her and Anian were selected.

All parties were quite satisfied with this result. There were two women from aristocratic families, so naturally the families had no objection.

Choosing a commoner like Qianxun also met the common people's demands, which also made the people of Haoling satisfied and felt that they were not deceived, and also gave the Haoling royal family a good reputation.

Both father and daughter are equally satisfied with their three study companions.

The three study companions came to Ling Xi and Anian, and they began to study with Ling Xi and Anian. Ling Xi and Fang Feng Yiying had similar personalities, so they became closer.

However, because Anian was obsessed with the plot of Long Aotian, he preferred the weaker-looking Xie Shuhui, and thought of himself as the kind of Long Aotian who sympathized with women, which made Ling Xi laugh and cry.

Fangfeng, Yiying and the other two are all very intelligent, so learning is not difficult for them.

Ling Xi, on the other hand, began her plan to develop Hao Ling.

Ling Xi is determined to conquer the Great Wilderness, so there will be a war between Hao Ling and Xi Yan in the future, which is unavoidable.

In this case, Ling Xi must make preparations early.

Today, Hao Ling's national strength is actually weaker than Xi Yan's, but Hao Ling also has advantages that Xi Yan does not have.

That is, King Xiyan is old, while King Haoling is in his prime. King Xiyan's promising sons and daughters are all gone, and now only the incompetent fifth and seventh kings are left. Therefore, King Xiyan's only choice is the grandson Xiyan Xuan, who is now held hostage by Haoling.

After a long time has passed, when Xiyan Xuan returns to Xiyan, it will be a battle for power and Xiyan will be in turmoil.

However, Hao Ling does not have the same problem as Xi Yan. King Hao Ling will fully support Ling Xi in doing anything. Ling Xi can develop Hao Ling without any scruples with the support of King Hao Ling.

These one or two hundred years are Hao Ling’s opportunity to accumulate strength.

Ling Xi found books on papermaking and shipbuilding technology in the collection of books in the space. These books were obtained from an unknown world in the past. Anyway, the technology was very advanced, far exceeding the current level of skills in the Great Wilderness.

She gave the papermaking and shipbuilding techniques she had found to King Hao Ling, asking him to make samples first and then promote them to other places in Hao Ling.

This was Ling Xi's first battle against the clan, which had always been proud of the various books and exclusive skills it possessed.

At that time, there was no such thing as paper. All records were made on bamboo slips, but bamboo slips were heavy and difficult to carry.

If Hao Ling invents paper, it will be a big blow to the clan. The common people will have a way to learn, and their power will be greatly enhanced.
