"I've said before, I'll follow whoever has the ability to make Dasheng strong." Lu Bin remained calm.

"You..." Huang Yuan was furious.

"Just wait for me. I will tell you about this after the competition is over..."

Huang Yuan didn't dare to say the word "Prince".

Lu understood, but he was not afraid.

Huang Yuan paused for a moment, then thought of something and said to Lu: "Have you forgotten what your son did to that woman? Do you think she will let you and your son go?"

Hearing this, Lu Bin's expression changed slightly, and he said with a dark face, "It was your son who did it. My son was just keeping watch outside."

These words once again succeeded in making Huang Yuan speechless with anger.

He could only sit back angrily.

If there weren't so many people around, he really wanted to wake this idiot up with a punch.

In the competition arena, the competition ceremony has been completed, incense is burned, and worship is paid to the founding queen.

Then comes the lottery phase.

There were a total of twenty young ladies participating in the female event this year, not only from Shengjing, but also from other cities and states, who also came individually to participate.

There are five or six more people than in the previous session.

The competition will start according to the numerical order on the draw.

"Those who got first, second, and third place, please stand here. The rest of you, please return to your seats first."

As soon as the old dean finished speaking, several people came forward.

Among them was Hao Jiaojiao, who got third place, which means she was in third place.

Hao Jiaojiao looked at the number three and curled her lips. "This number is not good at all."

The old director of the Imperial Music Academy twitched his gray beard when he heard her words.

But he didn't say it either, because this was the precious great-granddaughter of the old guy in the Hanlin Academy. How could he dare to say it?

"Whoever gets first goes first."

"Wait, can I switch with you?"

As soon as the old dean finished speaking, Hao Jiaojiao said to the first contestant who was about to step forward.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement. She came from another city and was a little nervous to begin with. Getting first place made her even more nervous. It would give her some time to relax if she was ranked later.

Pan Xue's mind was still filled with the image of Lin You being the center of attention just now. The jealousy in her eyes grew more intense, and the fruit in her hand was already broken.

Lin You, is just a girl from the countryside, how could she be qualified to say such things, how could she be qualified to wear that bright yellow, how could she be qualified to be the center of attention!

She should have said those words, and she should have worn that skirt.

Ever since Lin You sat on the dragon throne, she had developed a feeling that her things were taken away by Lin You. Yes, there was always a voice in her ear reminding her all the time that these things were supposed to be hers.

But it was snatched away bit by bit by Lin You.

The only person who was not taken away was her prince.

But the prince is here, so she will definitely be able to get back the things that were snatched away by Lin You.

Thinking of this, Pan Xue set her sights on Shen Yu, but saw that he was narrowing his eyes, staring deeply at Lin You, sinisterly, but with a strong possessiveness.

Pan Xue's expression tensed. Could it be that... even the prince would be snatched away by Lin You?

In the past, no matter how good the prince was to Lin You, there was never any possessiveness in his eyes. But now that Lin You has betrayed him, there is possessiveness in his eyes. Why is that?

Do men like women who play hard to get?

Pan Xue was hurt and wanted to look away, but accidentally met a pair of cold eyes.

It was Shen Xian, her former virtuous brother.

But at this moment, he no longer had the affection he once had for her. Instead, he was filled with deep and unfathomable coldness. Pan Xue was slightly startled and quickly looked away.

Did he discover something?

The fire at Lotus Courtyard a few days ago.

But if he had found out, he would have reported her long ago, right?

Sister Lian is very important in his heart.

Don't panic, stay calm, it's okay.

The most important thing is to compete well.

Pan Xue took a deep breath and focused her attention on the person playing the piano.

But after seeing Hao Jiaojiao's face, I felt even more upset.

As expected, birds of a feather flock together. He was as shameless as Lin You, who actually snatched someone else's stick.

How dare you bring up such an ordinary song for competition, and even be the first to perform it.

After the song ended, Hao Jiaojiao walked back to her seat confidently, waiting for the examiners to give her scores.

There were six examiners in total, three from the Imperial Music Academy and three from the Hanlin Academy.

The full score is 10.

The followers beside the six people took up their score cards in turn, read them out, and then the people behind them took notes.

Hao Jiaojiao's score was six, five, four, four, four, three.

Twenty-seven points in total.

The first three ratings were given by Yuleyuan, and the fourth was given by the former dean of Yuleyuan.

The last three were from Hanlin Academy, including the old dean, the vice-dean, and Leng Yang.

The old dean had never come to the women's party in the past, but he came in person this time because he was criticized last time.

The four points were scored by the vice-president and the old dean. He knew better than anyone what level his granddaughter was.

But Leng Yang's three really surprised him.

He also had a lot of knowledge about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. After all, when he was young, he was also known as a genius boy. Although he didn't play them much after he got older, he never stopped listening.

He felt that his granddaughter's piano skills could get a score of four points.

The deputy dean next to him saw that the old dean looked a little surprised, so he asked Leng Yang, "Master Leng, can you tell me why you gave Miss Hao a three-pointer?"

After asking this, everyone's eyes fell on Leng Yang, and Lin You also looked at him.

In fact, she felt that Hao Jiaojiao's piano skills could also get a score of four.

If she could be more serious, she could probably get five points.

On the other side, Hao Jiaojiao was so angry about Leng Yang's low score that she almost jumped up to question him, but was held down by her mother.

Damn three, she hates the number three the most. If you have the guts, just give it a two!

He is so short-sighted, he doesn't even know what grandpa likes about him, yet he always praises him!

"Miss Hao's piece can get four points, but her piano skills are a bit poor and she was out of tune once." Leng Yang explained gently.

After hearing this, several examiners thought about it carefully and it seemed that he did run away once, but it was only for a moment and did not affect the song.

"Ah."

The old dean nodded and agreed with his approach.

This really deserves a deduction.

Such strictness is fair and just.

When Hao Jiaojiao saw that her grandfather agreed with Leng Yang again, she stomped her feet in anger.

Stinky ice cube, it really can't tolerate even the slightest flaw in its eyes.

However, he'd better be serious with every girl, otherwise, she will never let him go.

The second and third place winners received scores similar to Hao Jiaojiao, but one of them only got second place due to Leng Yang's scoring.

Afterwards, others also scored one point.

Everyone was tired of listening to the songs. So far, no song had given them a new and refreshing feeling.

"Ninth place, Pan Xue."

After the presiding officer's announcement, everyone who had been dozing off became alert.

Although Pan Xue has changed his last name, his piano skills from previous years are still engraved in the memories of most people.
