Xiao Rou raised her head, a warm look appearing on her face. "Your Highness, I'm your future Crown Princess, you're my heaven. If you fall, what future will I have? "So, even if it's not for my own sake, I still have to give her a good lesson for the sake of His Highness. Otherwise, she would think that this Zhou Dynasty wouldn't be able to hold her."
"However, Lian Ruyue is a cunning person. She has fought several times and each time, she has gained an advantage. If we were to appear now, I'm afraid that we would be implicated once again." Feng Qianyue spoke with foresight.
Xiao Rou nodded. "Your Highness' words are reasonable. We will teach her a lesson, but it would be best if someone helped us. Where can we find such a person in such a short time?"
"Ninth royal brother admires Lian Ru Yue. You can only see who admires Ninth royal brother." Feng Qianyue's voice sounded light and shallow, as if he had inadvertently mentioned it.
When Xiao Rou heard that, she came to a realization and said, "I understand!" Jealousy is the most terrifying sharp blade. I just need to see who has this blade in their hands. "
Feng Qianyue watched Xiao Rou's limping back as she left, and the faint smile on his face instantly froze …
He had always been an expert in love, and was most adept at holding women in his heart before making use of them to let them be his descendants. The former imperial concubine Xuan Fei and Imperial Concubine Lian Fang You were all like this, and only Hui Zhi, who was by Lian Zhaoyi's side, was an accident.
As for Xiao Rou, she was one of the moths in his palm. It was her fate to throw herself into the fire for him.
Feng Qianyue concealed the tiny bit of guilt in the depths of his heart, and his expression became even colder. His heart was even harder —
"Feng Qianyue, don't forget how you came to this place. You don't need to pity anyone … Right now, you no longer have any way of turning back. You only need to step on the bones of tens of thousands of people and walk forward step by step … "
He said this to himself in his heart.
Su Yin supported Xiao Rou back to the high platform. The fight at the Kudong arena continued. Feng Yunzheng was now leading the team.
At this time, a ball was kicked high into the air by Xiao He, causing everyone to be eager to try it out. In the end, the ball landed in front of Feng Ye, who revealed an evil smile and used a beautiful "Lovers' Bend" to kick the ball back to Xiao He.
"Alright!" This beautiful Lovers monster immediately made pearls around the entire arena, causing everyone to exclaim in surprise.
Wonderful! How wonderful! Ye'er's Lovers' Pull is truly marvelous. As expected of someone who has led soldiers to war, it's wonderful, wonderful to the extreme! " Zhou Cheng Di stood up and ordered loudly, "Feng De Gui, give the eighth prince the gold boots that I prepared."
Xu Xianyi was naturally very happy to hear this. She hurriedly stood up and said, "It's all thanks to the emperor's guidance."
"Your majesty rewards the eighth prince with a pair of golden boots!" Feng Degui ran to the center of the field, his shrill voice shouting loudly.
Feng Ye took the golden boots and returned to his horse. He raised the golden boots in his hand and stood on the tall steed, accepting everyone's praise.
He couldn't help but look in the direction of Lianyue, not far away.
The little girl had grown up a bit, and after landing, she became even more attractive. She had a kind of ethereal elegance.
However, this kind of girl didn't belong to her.
It wasn't because he didn't want to chase after her, but because she was stopped by him just as he took a step, forcing him to retreat.
It was said that Lu Jingyao wanted to ask her to marry him, so she definitely wouldn't want to go. Should he take this opportunity to request for a marriage with her father in advance?
He gritted his teeth, turned around, and continued his dance.
Xu Xianfei, who was sitting beside the emperor, noticed the look in Feng Ye's eyes. Her heart skipped a beat as the smile on her face faded — —
Crap, it looks like Ye'er didn't really forget Lian Yue.
No!
Xu Xianfei's gaze turned serious. What should she do before Ye'er gave up? Her gaze uncontrollably fell on Lu Jingyao, who was in the middle of his dance. If this Duke Jiayu were to marry Lu Yuwen off, then she would be able to rest in peace.
He just didn't know what the result would be.
At this moment, while everyone was applauding the eighth prince's excellent plan, Liang Runan from the Liang Prefecture was looking at another person —
The man was graceful and graceful. Even though he had been exercising intensely, his movements were smooth and fluid. He was able to control his movements with ease, not even flailing in the slightest.
When Xiao Rou saw Liang Runan's gaze, she smiled. She had heard from the noble ladies of the capital that Liang Runan had given his book of poems to His Highness on the day of the empress dowager's birthday.
As a renowned and talented girl of the capital, the poems written by Liang Runan were frequently spread. Even the once Crown Prince had publicly praised her talent.
However, the book of poems was not given out. It was said that Liang Runan had spent a long time in seclusion on this matter.
At this time, the first half of the cuju competition had already ended. Feng Ye's team had won two rounds this time.
The Emperor called a halt to his rest.
Lian Yan Qing quickly sent someone to call Lian Ru Yue over — —
"Father, why are you looking for your daughter?" On the other side, Lu Jingyao happened to be looking in their direction.
"So the person that Prince Jiayu wants to marry is you." Lian Yan Qing glanced at that direction, turned around, and said in a low voice.
"Then what is father going to do this time?"
Lian Yanqing was stunned. When Lian Xiyue heard this news, she wasn't afraid in the slightest? Without even a trace of nervousness, he paused for a moment and said:
"I naturally don't want you to marry into the Xiao family. This must be the scheme of the Xiao family and the Lu family. If you were to go, you might not be bullied by the people from the Lu family." Lian Ruyue was the direct daughter of the Prime Minister, and was also so intelligent; she even easily received the title of County Master of First-grade, which was not simple at all. This kind of daughter, he couldn't even plead for, how could he be willing to marry her to Pingzhou?
It did not surprise Lian Ru Yue in the slightest that Lian Yan Qing would make such a decision. This was because she was someone who was of value to the Prime Minister's Estate.
"From the looks of it, I have to get the nine halls to come down and ask for your hand in marriage before I can get out of this predicament." Lian Yan Qing's thoughtful expression as his gaze slowly swept over Lian Ru Yue's face.
Lian Ru Yue chuckled and said, "Father, the one who chased the Ninth Prince out of the Prime Minister's house was you."
Lian Yan Qing's face flushed. "It's not that you don't know the situation back then, but His Majesty …"
"Then why does Father think that the Ninth Prince is the kind of person who would go and summon them when he's gone?" Lian Ru Yue said coldly, "Besides, even father knows Lu Jingyao wants to marry me, yet you sent the Ninth Prince to the emperor at this time to request for a marriage. What do you want the Ninth Prince to think?"
"…" Lian Yan Qing paused. That's right, this was Ninth Prince, not someone beside him. Would Ninth Prince take the risk in front of the Emperor in order to protect Yue'er and not go to Pingzhou?
He frowned deeply and said, "The only thing we can do now is to try our best." As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve.
"What is this?" Lian Ruyue asked.
"I got Doctor Lu to prescribe this medicine. As long as you take it, you'll look like someone who's sick. When the time comes, the emperor will grant you the marriage, and we can refuse." Lian Yanqing said.
Even the medicine had been brought here. It seemed that his father had really made preparations with both hands. He had said that he would ask the Ninth Prince to marry him in order to pry into the relationship between her and the Ninth Prince. After she had rejected him, he had immediately taken out the medicine.
In any case, he would not let the Prime Minister's family suffer a loss.
"Did father think about it? If the reason for my daughter's marriage was because she was sick, then wouldn't I be passed on to someone whose body isn't good and who can't get married? " Lian Ruyue kindly "reminded" him.
Indeed, when Lian Yan Qing heard this, he was stunned. That's right, he wanted to keep this daughter of his because she was useful. But if someone said she was an invalid, who would dare to take her in the future?
When Lian Yan Qing saw that Lian Xiyue was still so calm and assured, he thought to himself, don't tell me that she had already thought of a way to protect herself?
Lian Ruyue looked at the porcelain bottle, then stuffed it back into Lian Yan Qing's hands and said, "Father, I don't need to use my body as a wager to reject Lu Jingyao."
"Then what can you do?" Lian Yanqing asked.
"When the time comes, I only need Father to stand by my side unflinchingly." Even though his father was always scheming and scheming, always thinking for his own sake.
However, she was his direct daughter. Plus, now that Shiya was crippled, the other sisters were not on good terms with him, so he had no choice but to rely on her as his direct daughter. Therefore, they were on the same side, and she wasn't worried at all.
"Don't worry, I won't let you marry into the Lu family. You don't need to worry about what Lian Xiang will say." After Lian Yanqing left, Feng Yunzheng walked over and stood by her side as he spoke.
"I don't have anything to worry about. It's just that I don't want to let someone who disgusts me get away with this. Being manipulated by others in my previous life has already made me hate this feeling. Now, you still want to use me to control my fate, you're just looking to die. " Lian Ru Yue said with a snort.
"You just have to have fun with Eleven and the rest of them. I'll make arrangements." Feng Yunzheng blinked his eyes and somewhat mischievously said, "Baoqing is satisfied."
"No way!" Lian Ru Yue stubbornly looked like a child as she raised her head and said to him, "I also want to come together. I like the feeling of personally taking action."
"Hehehe …" Feng Yunzheng laughed lowly and said, "Alright, are you happy?"
He was really obedient to her.
On the high platform, a pair of fists were secretly clenched. His pair of eyes was fixated on this side. Seeing Feng Yunzheng's smile that was like spring, Liang Runan's heart was filled with an uncomfortable feeling.
"Do you know who gave the horse the jade pendant at the Ninth Prince's waist?" At this moment, a voice sounded beside her ear.
Liang Runan was startled. He quickly turned his head and saw Xiao Rou standing next to her. Liang Runan quickly turned his body, as if he was afraid that someone might see through his thoughts.
She said, "I have seen this jade pendant up close. It was hand-polished, and the quality is not bad, but it was polished very ordinary. It is not compatible with his starved temperament, so it must have been given to me by a very important person.
"No." Xiao Rou shook her head. "Your guess is half correct. It was indeed an important gift, but she is the one!" Xiao Rou looked at Lian Ruyue, who was about to leave the high platform.
When Liang Runan turned his head and saw Lian Ruyue, her heart suddenly tightened, "Lian Ruyue gave it to me?"
Xiao Rou nodded and said, "Yes."
Liang Runan stared at Lian Ruyue's silhouette, his brows slowly knitted together.
"Actually, I heard from the other princes that Lian Fu Yue has been pestering Ninth Prince. Ninth Prince is very passive, so he had no choice but to give in. You should still remember the ugly things she did in Yao City right? She was obviously obsessed with the young master of the Su Family in Yao City, but she said back, that it was my aunt and cousin who framed her, and in the end, they were completely erased from existence. My aunt and cousin were actually wrongly accused. "
