War God of Great Swallow, his archery skills were naturally outstanding. Although he had not shot an arrow yet, everyone's expectations were already very high.

Shan Liancheng raised his bow and arrow to aim at a direction far away, but did not release the arrow.

Yun Qixi held her hands together, and silently observed from the side. To be honest, the three people in the competition weren't doing very well. After all, the emperor's reward wasn't too tempting. Although Shan Jingyan was somewhat interested, he was, after all, not an expert, unable to attract attention.

Shan Liancheng did not shoot after a long time, causing the spectators to become a little anxious. Shan Jingyan looked at him and smiled gently, "Third Brother, Jing Yan does not care about winning or losing, I only felt an itch for a moment, I am not afraid of losing."

Shan Jingyan seemed to always be a sensible and considerate person, giving people a warm heart. When he looked over, Yun Qixi smiled at him, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

Shan Liancheng squinted his eyes, aimed straight at the target, and suddenly shot two more arrows out, three arrows shooting at the same time.

Everyone's eyes turned towards the direction of the arrow. Their eyes were wide open as they went silent.

The War God of Great Swallow, the Prince Jin who could attack anything on the battlefield, had actually failed.

Shan Jingyan looked at this result and gently frowned. Imperial Concubine also seemed to be disappointed. And Shan Ziyin, after staring blankly for an instant, started to laugh.

"Third brother, this time you seem to have lost your standards. What about it?" Could it be that you don't want to get married? "

With that said, Yun Qixi looked towards Shan Liancheng. Although she was surprised that he missed, but she did not think that it would be like this. Now that Shan Ziyin had reminded her, she was somewhat suspicious.

Could it be that Shan Ziyin's words were correct?

"Jing Yan actually won?" After a long while, Shan Ye finally opened his mouth.

Although he was surprised by this result, he was still calm.

Even though Shan Ye was present, the surrounding people could not help but discuss softly. This result was simply too unexpected.

The empress was a little happy, but also a little proud.

Only Shan Liancheng remained calm and collected, as if everything that happened in the competition had nothing to do with him. He only said, "It's Jing Yan who has improved."

Shan Ye said, "But we have yet to wed Jing Yan, how about we exchange your reward for something else? Jing Yan, what do you want?"

Shan Jingyan smiled faintly, "Royal Father, it was pure luck that this son won against my two brothers. This son doesn't want anything, so I ask Royal Father to choose a day for my two brothers to get married."

Shan Ye didn't ask any further and only said, "Originally, the fifteenth of the eighth month would have been given to Lian Cheng and Qi Xi, but now, Lian Cheng has lost to Zi Yin … …"

"Royal Father." Shan Liancheng's loud voice interrupted Shan Ye's words.

Yun Qixi's heart jumped, she did not know why, but seeing Shan Liancheng's serious look, she was inexplicably nervous.

Shan Liancheng did not look at Yun Qixi, he only took two steps forward with a calm expression and cupped his hands towards Shan Ye, "Royal Father, please retract your orders."

His words were like a bomb that had been dropped. Everyone was dumbfounded.

What did he mean by retracting his orders? Is it to retract the imperial edict of changing the date, or to retract the imperial edict of bestowing marriage?

"Lian City, what do you mean?" Shan Ye's face suddenly darkened, his voice cold.

Shan Liancheng's expression did not change, and said: "Royal Father, please withdraw the order to grant the marriage."

The entire audience was quiet, Yun Qixi felt countless gazes shifting towards him.

Although she was the one who begged him to reject the marriage with the Emperor, and logically speaking, this should be the scene she would love to see the most, but when this moment really happened, her heart actually felt strange. Especially last night, when he had kissed her so passionately, he had opened his heart to her for the first time and told her many things that could be called secrets.

Yun Qixi welcomed all kinds of gazes with a smile on her face. She wanted to let everyone know that Yun Qixi did not care. However, what she did not know was that there was a hint of weakness in her smile that she did not realize.

Shan Ziyin slightly narrowed his eyes, glanced at Yun Qixi, and then looked at Shan Liancheng with his hands behind his back. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking about.

Shan Jingyan's expression had a trace of surprise, his eyes drooped, his eyelashes covering his blinking eyes, his expression was extremely complicated.

"You better be able to explain why." Shan Ye replied solemnly.

As the center of attention, Shan Liancheng's expression did not change, his expression remained calm, the resolution between his brows could be seen clearly, and he said with a steady voice, "This son only wishes to be killed in battle, I do not dare to think about my own daughter's relationship, so I humbly request Royal Father to retract the order and cancel this marriage."

Dead silence!

Shan Jingyan looked towards Yun Qixi with a slightly worried gaze. Yun Qixi's disappointment was clearly written on her face. Although he didn't want to marry him, she had always known that she was pursuing an equal and free marriage, knew that they were two people that couldn't possibly intersect.

But the scene of their lingering in the grass was so clear that his breath seemed to be lingering around him.

Qing Li was smiling, a kind of triumphant smile, she really did not know what kind of expression she had right now. She had always prided herself on being free and easy. It was unknown since when she had been unable to do so. Damn it!

This grandpa is also just a normal man. Oh, right, so those few kisses should actually be a normal reaction of a man. So how stupid was she to remember things so clearly.

"If he doesn't marry, how about me?" An absolutely familiar voice broke the silence.

Yun Qixi suddenly looked over, and saw the person slowly walking closer, how could the word 'surprise' describe him?

He wore a black brocade robe with a five-clawed python dragon hanging from the golden thread. It was a white jade crown with a pair of eyes as large as the stars.

Step by step, he walked in front of Yun Qixi and smiled at him.

"Qixi, let's calculate, how many days have we not seen each other? It's been ten days already, why do I feel as if it's been more than ten years? "

Yun Qixi stared at him in a daze, unable to say a word.

"Who are you?" Shan Ye asked in displeasure.

He turned his head back, and politely lowered his head to Shan Ye, "Prince Xiliang Chu Lingyun greets Your Majesty.

Yun Qixi was stunned!

He had always felt that Yun Qi's background must be extraordinary, but no matter how hard she tried to guess, she never thought that he would actually be from Prince Xiliang. She had once heard the citizens of the Great Swallow discussing, saying that the Prince Xiliang was the most beautiful man in the world, and in terms of Great Swallow, only the Prince Jin could compare to him.

At that time, she was very curious about what this Prince Xiliang looked like, but she didn't think that he would actually be by her side.

Prince Xiliang actually came to the Great Swallow to be a beggar, and Prince Xiliang even washed his period pants and sent her some Jiang Tangshui. Why was it that the more he thought about it, the more incredulous he found it to be?

She said in a daze, "Yun Qi?"

Chu Lingyun turned her head, replying her with a warm smile, "Yes, I am Yun Qi."

"Even if you are from a Western Lion Aristocrat Clan, to dare to propose to me, the Emperor of Great Swallow, I'm afraid that it would not be proper etiquette, right?" Shan Ziyin was extremely unhappy as he disdainfully asked.

Chu Lingyun did not pay attention to Shan Ziyin, but looked towards Shan Liancheng and asked with a lazy smile, "Prince Jin, long time no see, have you recovered from your injuries?"

Shan Liancheng's expression had become somewhat stiff the moment Chu Lingyun appeared. Now that he had heard Chu Lingyun's sloppy tone, his expression immediately became somewhat difficult.

"So you're Ling Yun. How is your royal father and mother?" Shan Ye's tone softened.

From the looks of it, and Shan Ye's attitude, could it be that his Great Swallow was related to Xi Liang?

Chu Lingyun replied, "Thanks to you, they are all well."

"I haven't seen your mufei in quite a few years." Shan Ye suddenly sighed.

At that time, Yun Qixi thought that it was yet another grand tale of the emperor. It was only later on that she found out that Chu Lingyun's mother was once a princess of the Great Swallow, and was the current emperor's cousin.

"Mufei often misses the emperor as well." Chu Lingyun said, and then said, "Ling Yun truly likes seventy percent of it, I hope that Your Majesty can grant my wish."

The plot became too quick, and everyone accepted their incompetence.

However, there were two people who were very happy to see this change. One was Qing Li, the other was Yun Lanyue. After all, if Yun Qixi really married Xi Liang, they would be one less eyesore.

Shan Ye was still silent and had not replied yet when Shan Liancheng spoke first with a face as hard as steel, "Of course not."

Chu Lingyun raised her eyebrows, and laughed, "Didn't Prince Jin just ask the Emperor to end the engagement? In that case, I can naturally make other choices in seventy percent of the time to become the Western Lion Princess, I definitely won't let her suffer even the slightest bit."

Yun Qixi suddenly felt like laughing, laughing like she was a spectator, as if the person they were talking about was not him.

Shan Liancheng frowned slightly, and said, "My Great Swallow is strong, so why would I need to go through such a marriage drama like it was a ban from a king?"

Chu Lingyun shook her head lightly, and said with a smile. "Don't get angry. Xi Liang and Great Swallow are on good terms, so of course we won't meet face to face. It's just that I've been in love with Qi Xi for a long time, but I heard that Qi Xi was first annulled by the crown prince, and now Prince Jin was annulled.

Chu Lingyun's bright eyes carried a smile, but that smile still felt a little cold. Her lazy voice continued, "Could it be that all of you think that just a woman can make you swing around?"

After hearing what Chu Lingyun said, even Yun Qixi herself felt that she had been wronged.

And looking at Shan Ye's expression, it was presumably because of Chu Lingyun's words that touched her, and with the relationship between the two countries, he could not just reject Chu Lingyun. He looked at Yun Qixi with a hint of guilt, and sighed: "This matter is unfair to an innocent girl, Qi Xi, you can pick your own way. If you do not want to break the engagement, then you can even break Lian Cheng's legs, and we will also allow you to marry me.
