Except for the designated tribute, Liju presented a large number of rare treasures, auspicious animals and rare birds, and delicacies as usual, which made the officials of Dacheng Kingdom quite proud.

When the last program dedicated to the beauties started, the men who were blushing and slightly drunk, and whose official uniforms were a little messy, were shocked immediately, and they all sat upright.A pair of eyes, as big as copper bells, stared straight at the dark night outside the hall, as if they wanted to see through the drizzle curtain, so that they could quickly see the beauty of this year.

Speaking of which, since Concubine Yihui entered the harem, the current emperor has canceled the part of presenting beauties. This year, Liju will be able to present beauties, and it will be Guan Tang—oh, no, now he has resumed his royal name, Shangguan Tang— insist on this.The emperor, who had only one favored concubine by his side, agreed to Shangguan Tang's request.

Under the scorching eyes of everyone, a pink tip slowly emerged from the steps outside the hall, and then it became bigger and bigger. When it was all in front of people's eyes, they could tell that it was a lotus flower that had not yet bloomed.Underneath it was carried by dozens of strong men with bare upper body, the jumping flames imprinted on the well-textured muscles, and a strong sense of strength came oncoming.

The huge lotus was placed in the middle of the main hall, and the men did not leave. After scattered around the lotus, they took off the long drum, a special musical instrument hanging from their waists.As the drum beats slowly, the lotus petals slowly open layer by layer.When all the petals are in full bloom, a mist with a strong floral fragrance floats out of it, spreading everywhere.After the smoke was blown away by the cold wind blowing in from outside the hall, everyone could clearly see several girls in colorful clothes standing, sitting or lying in the middle of the lotus.

Fair skin, ruddy face, autumnal eyes, slender waist less than a handhold...all of them attract the attention of men.

Tianxiang bit the chicken leg, looked around the hall, and then fell on the "man" who didn't say a word, bumped him with his elbow, and asked: "There are so many good-looking girls surnamed Feng. Can't you even look at it?"

The person who was hit put down the cup in his hand, glanced at the place where the performance was being performed, and said expressionlessly: "Except for being a foreigner, what is the difference between the performance and our country?"

Tianxiang couldn't help twisting her face when she heard the words, and said after a long while: "You, you are really a piece of wood, no wonder the former... never understood the style."

Facing the princess who yearns for the Jianghu wholeheartedly but came back because of her, she was not moved at all; faced with learning to be a qualified wife for her, she was not moved at all;

Such a person, what is not wood?Even wearing a matching outfit is better than staying still, which is frustrating.

Feng Suzhen glanced at her indifferently, without expressing anything.

Could it be that this princess would forgive her if she really explained her style to other women?

Heh, to say that she is a piece of wood, this princess may have missed herself.

Suddenly there was a sound of gasping, Tianxiang let Feng Suzhen go temporarily, and quickly poked her head to look.

The young girls who were originally in the middle were lifted by the man, carried off the lotus platform, and danced around the huge lotus with their respective musical instruments.In the vacant middle position, a small bright yellow lotus pod with stamens was exposed.

The lotus pod grows gradually, and when it reaches a certain size, several plump lotus seeds squeeze out from above and roll down onto the petals.When everyone wanted to see what the lotus seed was made of, another bigger lotus seed appeared on the lotus pod.This lotus seed did not roll down like the other lotus seeds, but slowly opened and stretched out. With the drumbeat becoming more and more urgent, the "lotus seed" twisted on the table for a while, and finally stretched out suddenly. It was a person, or a woman.

"This man looks familiar." Tianxiang was about to touch her chin, but remembering that the chicken legs were full of oil, she put her hands on her knees and stared intently.

"You know me." After Feng Suzhen glanced at it, she turned her attention to Shangguan Tang who was opposite.

Shangguan Tang seemed to have sensed it, turned his head to look at Feng Suzhen, raised his glass as a signal, and drank the wine in one breath.

With a slight smile, Feng Suzhen also raised her wine glass in return.

"I know? Who is it?" Tianxiang thought and thought, but couldn't figure it out, and asked Feng Suzhen again.

"Guan Guan, Guan Tang's younger sister."

Tianxiang was taken aback, and looked at the girl in an exotic costume on the stage, dancing like no one else, with a happy smile on her face, like a butterfly flying among flowers...

With a low curse, Tianxiang grabbed Feng Suzhen's cuff and asked her angrily: "Why is she here? Did you know she was back? Why is she dancing this dance? Did you dance for you? Did you hide it?" Now that I'm in touch with her..."

"Brother Shaomin, how come Princess Tianxiang is right?"

Shangguan Guan, who jumped over at unknown time, leaned sideways in front of Tianxiang's table. From outsiders' perspective, she was talking to the princess, but they didn't know that she was actually looking for the princess' consort.

"You!" Tianxiang was furious, and was about to speak, but Shangguanguan twisted his body, and slid in front of the emperor as soft as if he had no bones, so Tianxiang could only hold back his breath.

Feng Suzhen sighed inaudibly, looked up at Shangguan Tang, and saw the expression on his face that had nothing to do with me, she knew that she was in the carriage just now, and when she asked him why Shangguan Guan didn't come, he abruptly changed the subject .

——What a mess.

Feng Suzhen wanted to hit someone a little bit.

Youdao means that all wishes come true, and it didn't take long for Feng Suzhen to have a reason to beat someone up.

After the dance, Shangguan Tang stepped out, stood in front of the emperor of Dacheng Kingdom, and introduced Shangguan Guan's identity—Princess Yuqing, the twelfth princess of Liju Kingdom.

I don't know if it was an illusion, the moment the title was announced, Shangguan Guan turned his face slightly, and glanced in Tianxiang's direction.

Tianxiang's complexion was not good, she looked down at the delicious food and wine in front of her, unable to whet her appetite.

Therefore, when Shangguan Tang asked the emperor to let them compete with the generals of the Dacheng Kingdom for some unknown reason, Feng Suzhen had the idea of ​​"new and old grudges" with Shangguan Tang, so as not to see each other for too long. See, the other party no longer remembers who fell under whose sword that day. Although the victory was unarmed, in just a short moment, the outcome was decided early.

Liju obviously came prepared, the warriors on stage were all the teenagers who had just carried the lotus.There is excitement and disdain hidden in each face, sometimes mixed with hatred, it seems that there is no return.

Because of their young age, Dacheng Kingdom can't really send out general-level generals, and if they say it, it makes people laugh at Dacheng Kingdom for bullying the subordinate countries, which is really a loss of face for the big country.The emperor threw the question to a group of ministers, and the ministers who were fascinated by the beauty quickly sat upright. After some discussion, it was decided that the children of each martial arts would compete on behalf of the Dacheng Kingdom.

Or how to say that the children of the aristocratic family have good eyesight and low skills, and they sent out the established next patriarchs for the families who performed in front of the emperor. After losing three games in a row, the remaining children were unwilling to compete in the competition.Although Ligu warriors did not dare to kill, swords have no eyes, and seeing blood and breaking bones is unavoidable.

Shangguan Tang sat on the seat with his arms folded, watching the competition in the field expressionlessly.Shangguan Guan went down to change into a decent dress and came back, sitting dignifiedly next to Shangguan Tang, his eyes drifted to Feng Suzhen who was opposite from time to time, but it was a pity that Feng Suzhen was so focused on the competition that she never looked at her.

No. 4 The son of the family of Dacheng Kingdom was knocked down again, and rolled around in the hall with his broken leg in his arms, crying and howling, regardless of his appearance. The emperor was so angry that he waved his hands to be carried down.

Seeing this, all the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and never dared to let their heirs play again. In case of a disability or something, wouldn't it be ridiculous in the future?

The emperor was furious, he could see what the group of old foxes were planning, but it was a time to fight for the face of the country, but they only cared about their own petty profits, it was really hateful!What's even more hateful is that I can only lose my temper and have no deterrent effect on them.

"Your Majesty, I request you to have a try." A youthful voice suddenly appeared at the outermost part of the hall.

"Who is talking? Come forward." The emperor heard that someone was willing to continue the competition, his expression returned to normal, and he asked the speaker to come forward.

A young man who was not too tall and wearing the armor of the palace guards stood shyly under the high position, biting the bullet and accepting the scrutiny from all directions.

"Are you the son of the He family?"

The young man knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "The undersigned is Yue Su, the son of General Yue Xiu, who is now under the command of General Zhongyong, and is responsible for guarding the palace."

"He was originally Yue Xiu's son, but he only entered the palace this year?"

"Yes, the first year of the bid is the fifteenth, and then I participated in the recruitment in the palace. Fortunately, I was selected."

In fact, Yue Su didn't need to be assessed, because his father was a general and had a hereditary system, but he had to wait until he was twenty before he was eligible to register for military service.Yue Su entered the palace as soon as he reached the minimum age of military service, it should be out of admiration for the general, he didn't want to wait another five years, even if he had to undergo a rigorous assessment, he had to enlist in advance.

The emperor has a good impression of Yue Su who wears a helmet and can't see his face clearly, but Yue Su is too young and inexperienced. Although his father also rose from a small follower to a general, he may not be as powerful as his father , so there is some hesitation.

Yue Xiu, who heard the wind, hurried over from the inspection point not far away. When everyone thought he was here to plead guilty and wanted to arrest his son, Yue Xiu knelt in front of the emperor and said in a loud voice: "I don't teach you a humble job. Good boy, let him disturb the emperor rashly, it is a crime for me! But I still want to ask for a fight for my son, I hope the emperor will allow it!"

"Oh, General, are you so confident in your son?"

"Yes, my son has not stopped practicing martial arts under the strict requirements of the humble job. I practice three-nines in winter and three days in summer. The humble job is very clear to Xiaoer."

At this time Tianxiang had forgotten the previous unhappiness, looked at Yue Xiu's son curiously, and couldn't help but said: "Father, you can let this kid go up and try, anyway, he lost four times..."

"Tianxiang!" The emperor's chest felt swollen and painful, this Tianxiang is really a pot that can't be opened or lifted!

Tianxiang said dissatisfied: "Yes, father, these children can only show their fists and legs, why don't you let the general's son try it, the tiger father has no dogs, how do you know he can't do it?"

The emperor was so angry that he couldn't speak, and felt that what Tianxiang said was reasonable, so he raised his hand and agreed to Yue Xiu's request.

After Yue Xiu thanked the emperor, he secretly thanked Tian Xiang, Tian Xiang only smiled, to avoid suspicion.

Feng Suzhen looked at everything calmly, Yue Xiu remembered, but she didn't know that after so many years, he had become Tianxiang's confidant.

Princess is really not easy.

It's just that she is more concerned about one question, why is Yue Xiu's son called Yue Su?It can't be that their family likes to give their son some softer names, right?

If there is a chance, I still have to ask, otherwise she will always feel that it is not that simple, which makes her a little uncomfortable.
