Chapter 163

With a clatter, the long sword fell to the ground, and Hanson's face was as gray as death.

As if he hadn't seen him admit defeat, Nalan night was filled with cold. He just started with a gentle hand and held his long sword towards him again. The previous delivery, Hanson screamed in pain. He only said expressionless, "can you admit defeat?"

Must admit defeat!

If you don't admit defeat again, I'm afraid his life will be sent here. At this time, Han Xun couldn't afford to lose face. He clenched his teeth and snorted, "admit... Admit defeat, I admit defeat..."

Shua -- the long sword was drawn out according to the trend and brought out a touch of blood in the air. Nalan closed the sword and hugged his fist at night, with a light hook on his lips: "accept."

The sharp pain in the wound almost made Han Xun stand unstable. Ignoring everything in front of him, Han Xun quickly ordered his acupoints and turned and strode down the stage. The lonely and gray back is bent, heavy and depressed.

Stunned for a moment, there was thunderous applause at the scene. Not only the people around, but also many officials in the Western Chu Dynasty saw it one by one.

Duke Li's excited face turned red. He rushed to the stage with a sharp voice and said, "the contest between the North Vietnamese emperor and the king of Chu, the winner, his Highness the king of Chu!"

The emperor of Western Chu nodded happily, stroked his long beard and said, "yes, yes, I'll say. As long as there is Ziqing on the stage, he must win. As expected, he lives up to my hope."

"Your Majesty has a good opinion." Imperial concubine song smiled and said, "the king of Chu is the God of war of Western Chu. Even if he is Han Xun, the emperor of North Vietnam, he is not his opponent. No wonder the king of Chu has resigned his military power for so many years, but the soldiers still listen to his orders. It is really worthy of being the king of Chu."

The emperor of Western Chu changed his face and gave a deep, um, sound. Imperial concubine song suddenly felt general and quickly apologized: "my concubine made a mistake, your majesty forgive me. My concubine meant that even if the king of Chu came out sick, he would go all out and be loyal."

After listening to this sentence, Emperor Xi Chu's face eased a lot. In addition, he was really happy and did not investigate.

So far, the man's martial arts competition is over, and then it's the woman's turn to take part in the literary test. After grandpa Li said on the stage, let the ladies who got the list of contestants prepare well and start immediately.

Soon, there was a commotion in the viewing area below. Countless young women whispered and talked. Some were even more nervous. They didn't know how they would perform later. Some young men looked curiously and wanted to know who was the first to take the stage.

"Qingluan, you'll be there in a minute." Nalan, who had just finished the competition, looked at Luo qingluan with great concern.

After eating another jujube and drinking another mouthful of tea, Luo qingluan wiped the corners of her mouth and said contentedly, "well, don't worry." In fact, she didn't want to participate in the literary examination before, but two days ago, Queen Wang sent someone to the king's house of Chu to ask if she was ready to play the music. Luo qingluan knew that she was afraid she couldn't get rid of it.

But at that time, she was nervous about Nalan night's body. She didn't think too much. She only said to the eunuch that she was ready to let the queen rest assured. Later, she couldn't. It seemed that she had to participate.

But in Luo qingluan's heart, the victory or defeat doesn't mean much. She likes to talk. Since the queen asked, she can't brush her face and play a song. According to her piano skills, even if she can't get the first place, she won't be the last, just in the middle.

"Why, don't you want to be the first?" Seeing Luo qingluan's indifference, Nalan night was a little curious.

He, a little woman, has always been arrogant. Although he seems calm and independent of the world, he knows her best. But unexpectedly, she was not interested in showing off in front of the public this time.

Luo qingluan glanced at the front and said faintly, "don't you know that big trees attract wind?"

She was looking at Nangong Waner just now.

At this time, Nangong Waner was staring at her and Nalan night. Although her expression was harmless, it was always uncomfortable to be stared at so directly. Luo qingluan knows that Nangong Waner likes Nalan night. Naturally, she doesn't want to show off in the literary test, which will cause the princess's jealousy. It's better to do more than one thing. Isn't it good for her to earn more money with this spare time?

What's more, besides Nangong Waner, there is a Xiao Ning jade! Who knows if they will make any calculations when they compete?

I didn't expect that marrying a man would be so popular. If it weren't for herself, Luo qingluan would never agree. But now, she's married. Nalan night is also good to her. That's it.

The palace people removed the weapon rack on the test platform and replaced it with curtain palace yarn suitable for women's competition. They also decorated a one person high vase on the platform with several blooming Begonia flowers, which has a unique flavor.

The first scene of the text test began.

The first scene of the women's group is dancing, which everyone is used to and likes very much.

There are far more women than men in the competition. Whether they are the daughters of the Western Chu or the princesses of other countries, as envoys, they will do their best to perform when they come all the way to the eastern Qin Dynasty.

The first one on the stage was Da Si Le of Dongwan state, a woman of double ten. Although she is not a famous girl, she attracted public attention as soon as she played.

The graceful figure looks forward to the brilliance when raising hands and feet. The dancing steps are light as if stepping on the snow, full of flexibility and freshness. The music sounded and danced lightly. The exquisite makeup brought her more pleasing beauty. The audience couldn't turn their eyes and even exhale.

The outcome of the literary test is different from that of the men's group. It can be seen at a glance that it needs to be selected by some highly respected people. Sitting in the observation seat, Emperor Xi Chu was naturally one of the judges, as well as the leaders who came to the Congress of the four countries this time, such as crown prince Xiao Yuqi of Dongwan state, crown prince Lin Yixuan of Southern Wei state, and Emperor Han Xun of North Vietnam.

In addition, there are some famous Confucianism and scholars in the Western Chu Dynasty, who have the right to one vote. This is also the advantage of each host country. After all, in any case, domestic judges are always easy to favor their own people at the critical time. However, this has long become an unwritten rule, and everyone acquiesced.

After a dance, the big Si Le of Dongwan country got 17 swabs from 20 judges, which was pretty good.

The flower swab is specially made of the best peach blossom paper. It is painted with exquisite patterns and dazzling colors. If a judge likes a contestant's performance, he will throw a flower in his hand.

She didn't study women's literary examination before, because Luo qingluan was not interested. At this meeting, she knew that it was signed by everyone. Looking at the flower swabs that Nalan Ye didn't throw out in her hand, she smiled and said, "why, do you think the girl danced badly just now?"

Nalan night looked at her smiling, said she was jealous, but smiled, said she was not jealous, but it was puzzling. He shook his head and smiled faintly: "I didn't see it. How do you know if she danced well?"

"Hmm? You didn't see it?" Luo qingluan was surprised.

Holding her spring onion like little hand, Nalan night stared at her watery apricot eyes, and the corners of her lips raised a radian: "look at my qingluan little lady, it's too late. How can I go to see her?"

"You......" unexpectedly, Nalan night didn't forget to flirt with her. Luo qingluan flew a blush on his face, quickly retracted his hand, patted him, and pretended to be angry: "Nalan night, you are one of the judges, so irresponsible?"

"Do you want me to look at her instead of you?" Nalan stared at her at night.

"What are you looking at..." his eyes became more and more hot. Luo qingluan couldn't stand it in broad daylight.

This man is really more and more presumptuous. He's not alone. He unexpectedly... Suddenly, Luo qingluan's heart jumped. What's the matter with him? Are you used to his ridicule and teasing and acquiescence? Otherwise, some people here can't say these words. Can't anyone?

Does she have a crush on Nalan night unconsciously?

Fortunately, soon, another woman on the stage performed. Luo qingluan took the mechanism to the stage and ignored Nalan night. He couldn't help shaking his head. The little girl was shy again.

Since he didn't want to win, Luo qingluan gradually relaxed and focused on the stage.

Although she didn't recognize the second contestant, she didn't hinder her appreciation of her beautiful dance. She looked very seriously. She didn't even bother to pay attention to Nalan night next to her.

Soon, the second girl who participated in the competition got the result of 15 swabs, and Nalan night still didn't vote.

When the third woman who went to dance appeared, Luo qingluan was obviously serious. As soon as his eyes were frozen, his body stopped for a few minutes. Nalan had been paying attention to her. He didn't feel his eyes moving and looked at the stage.

"This is Bai Yixuan, Princess Xuanji of the southern Wei Dynasty. Do you know Ziqing?" Nangong Yu, the second prince beside him, said with a smile.

After waiting for a moment, he saw that Nalan night didn't speak, and he didn't mind. He still said, "although Bai Yixuan is a princess, she is only the adoptive daughter of the Lord of the southern Wei Dynasty. However, just looking at her appearance, she is indeed the most beautiful woman in the southern Wei Dynasty."

He nodded as he said, "I don't know how beautiful her dance is. Will she get the first place?"

He raised his eyebrows and Luo qingluan said, "why, the second prince has a crush on her? If you like it, it's better to be the second prince's imperial concubine?"

Unexpectedly, Nangong Yu didn't deny it, but his face was a little embarrassed. Then he said, "no, I'm just listening to people. Princess Xuanji is deeply loved by the Lord of the southern Wei Dynasty and wants her to marry the Western Chu. I'm afraid it's impossible."

Listen to this, is Nangong Yu really interested in Bai Yixuan?

Luo qingluan couldn't help but be surprised. She didn't know when Nangong Yu moved his heart to Bai Yixuan. In terms of time, he didn't see Bai Yixuan several times, did he? Did you just like it? When did they meet and what did they say? Why didn't she know at all?

Thinking of Bai Yixuan's personality, Luo qingluan looked positive: "if so, it's best. I was joking just now. The second prince is not the person talking behind my back. Princess Xuanji is really not suitable for you. You don't like it. If you want to, you'd better take advantage of the competition to see more other women. If you meet someone you like, you can marry a princess."

With that, Luo qingluan's eyes turned and fell on Nalan night.

Unfortunately, she found that Nalan night was staring at the stage and was absorbed.
