Tiger Wings

Seeing that the time was almost up, Master Guoshi had to pretend to cough a few times to attract the attention of the whole hall, but the protagonist next to him ignored him, his eyes were wide open as if he was too focused to hear .

Of course it seemed as if, in fact, the Fifth Prince deliberately ignored him, but he couldn't make it too obvious.

The national teacher was bored, knowing that this little thing has not calmed down, and that it was indeed his own slip of the tongue, rolled up his sleeves and said in a serious voice:

"Fifth Prince, please put your hands on the crystal ball."

Concubine Yun and several maids had carefully instructed the specific process of this ceremony before You Xin came. Knowing that this was the first step of the test, they only wanted to make a quick decision under the eyes of everyone.

But...Looking at the pole that was similar to an adult, You Xin knew that he couldn't touch it even if he stretched out his hand, so he really doubted how the previous princes did it.

There is no instruction in this regard in memory.

I had to look back at Lan Lingyi, the man had been waiting for this moment as if, he smiled flatteringly at him, and with a move of his sleeve, the pole was shortened as if shrunk, to a height just suitable for You Xin's height.

You Xin was a little dumbfounded, but he was pulled to touch the transparent sphere, and the moment his fingertips touched the cold surface, a burst of soft light spread out.

Everyone present held their breath, the light milky white air mass lingering near the sphere whetted their appetites, You Xin turned his head and saw the old god Lan Lingyi was there.

The toddler's arm is not strong enough and it hurts after a while, but fortunately, Lan Lingyi is supporting You Xin without any effort.

It took about a cup of tea, but the result was not announced for a long time. You Xin also became a little nervous when he saw many people unconsciously stretching their necks and watching attentively for fear of missing the result.

In the conversation of several people, he concluded that the testing process of the crystal ball varies from person to person. Simply put, if the magic potential is high, the reaction will be fast, and if the aptitude is poor, the reaction will be relatively slow.

It is said that as soon as the fourth prince's little Bai Nen hand was put on it, the magic ball was like setting off fireworks. It was colorful, blue, green and white in turn, and the onlookers were stunned.

You Xin had to think sadly: I can't be a magic idiot.

He hasn't actually touched magic yet, so he won't associate it with his true energy, so it's normal to have such an idea.

In order to prove his idea, You Xin took a sneak look at his nominal grandfather, the old man standing in the row on the left turned a little blue, and the hands touching his beard froze in place.

On the contrary, Concubine Yun's eyes were slightly worried, You Xin was stunned for a moment and turned his head to continue staring at the sphere.

In any case, no matter how bad the result is, it is impossible to escape by leaving now.

Therefore, it is enough to bear it quietly, not to mention that there is a great national teacher next to him, who can always come in handy at critical moments.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and many people realized that the third prince was the worst among the princes tested, but it only took less than half a quarter.

The gloating people could not wait to observe the emperor's expression, but they were disappointed.

It couldn't be more calm, without disappointment or anger, calmly looking at the motionless magic ball, leaning on the seat with a relaxed expression.

The man thought about it again, probably because the emperor had the fourth prince with extremely high magic talent, it didn't matter if the fifth prince was a waste.

After thinking about it carefully, it became more certain that there was nothing wrong. Before this ceremony, the emperor basically did not mention the fifth prince. Compared with the first four princes, the degree of declaration of the fifth prince is really too low.

If it weren't for Zuo Cheng's power to make people jealous, the mother and son would have been forgotten long ago.

Thinking about how many women she envied Concubine Yun when she lived in the palace with cloud and mist stones as the courtyard, she is so cold now.

At this moment, the magic ball finally changed, and the white glow began to thin out a little bit and then dissipated. Most people didn't have any expectations, so they just glanced at the result casually. The ending that they had already known in their hearts still had an accident. I was taken aback again.

Those white awns were gathered in the sphere and disappeared in a flash. The crystal ball returned to the previous transparent and colorless, and there was no change after staring at it for a long time.

Some people stared blankly, as if they couldn't believe their eyes—the Fifth Prince didn't have any magical potential.

Obviously, this is something that the royal family has never done before. It is one aspect of Yaojin to favor martial arts and light magic, but the fact that there are magic idiots is unbelievable.

A crisp sound of jingling awakened everyone, and when they all looked over, they saw a maid next to Concubine Yun hurriedly knelt down to pick up something.

Someone with sharp eyes found a jade bracelet. Obviously, the sound just now was caused by the bracelet hitting the hard ground.

But now how tempting is a little flustered in his heart, so he doesn't have the heart to blame the maid who missed her hand.

Especially Wanli's subordinates were all confused at this time. If the fifth prince was a magic idiot, it meant that he had no destiny for the throne. Hesitation and thinking appeared in the eyes of these people.

In fact, things are not bad. Only some people have the above thoughts, except of course those who have nothing to do with themselves and are just looking for a good show.

Compared with the remorseful, sarcastic and funny group of people, Kuidou and some generals like him have completely different expressions on their faces.

Although the prince's test ceremony is complicated and grand, not everyone can go to this hall. At this time, those who can stand here are all people with high official positions, especially Yaojin's troops are very strict, and there are very few dudes among high-ranking officials Or incompetent people can take office.

In his eyes, his abilities are all first-class, and he definitely has a lot of actual combat experience.

As the commander of the imperial guards, Kuidou was the first to react. He raised his head quickly and looked at the fifth prince who was still standing still. An inconceivable expression suddenly appeared on his usually resolute face.

Seeing his expression, the other generals strengthened their guesses, and their excitement was beyond words.

Wanli was the first to see that something was wrong, and found new hope in despair, even trembling when he asked:

"Commander Kui, what's wrong?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's curiosity was immediately aroused.

Kui Dou frowned and glanced at Prime Minister Zuo, but didn't speak but looked at the smiling national teacher, obviously making a final confirmation.

So everyone in the hall focused their eyes on the man in blue who was talking and laughing from beginning to end.

But the national teacher was very disrespectful, and his thoughts were all concentrated on the fifth prince in front of him, completely turning a deaf ear to him.

When the six gods were in turmoil, the emperor's retreat order came out across the sky, ending the most chaotic test ceremony in history without giving anyone a chance to speak.

Simultaneously issued the decree:

"Master Xuan and the Fifth Prince went to the imperial study to have an audience."

This order was issued even more forcefully, almost at the same time that the emperor left from the back of the palace, Kuidou came in front of the two of them.

"National Teacher, Fifth Prince, please!"

Kneeling on one knee is a perfect salute to show respect. After standing up, he stared at You Xin. You Xin trembled from his too direct gaze. He really didn't understand why this person suddenly became interested in him.

There must be something wrong with the test just now, but he himself didn't see any tricks at all. He looked depressedly at the man who must know the inside story, but he was completely ignored.

"Commander Kui, please be polite."

Lan Lingyi's fake smile really made You Xin want to cast aside, I don't know if this is the usual demeanor of Lan Lingyi.

After watching the group of three people walk out of the hall, the rest of the people came back to their senses, and the whole hall was immediately covered by miscellaneous noises.

Seeing that the person leading the way was the emperor directly under the command of Kui, the inside story was even more thought-provoking, the more I thought about it, the more curious I became, the poor military officer was surrounded by a group of people before he had time to leave, asking what happened just now .

Thinking of His Majesty's decree just now, but not daring to answer casually, it is really hard to tell.

The whole journey was silent, maybe it was because of the small steps of the fifth prince, Kuidou who led the way did not walk fast, on the contrary, he strolled in a completely leisurely manner, the speed really made You Xin wonder if this person was resisting and disobedient intention of.

But he was slightly nervous in his heart, and Kui Dou's sight from time to time was definitely not an illusion.

This man is checking himself again!

The fact of staring at the pressure and insisting on pretending to be a three-year-old child made You Xin physically and mentally exhausted and impatient, especially when someone was already paying special attention.

Seeing that there are still many flowers and plants blooming on both sides, it is not particularly cold. The east wind is still cold, and You Xin, who has always been in poor health, also sweated a lot. The colorful flowers flowed in front of his eyes like an assembly line. , but in the end nothing was left behind.

His mind went blank. It was less than an hour since he saw Lan Lingyi, but You Xin already deeply believed that the appearance of Lan Lingyi would bring earth-shaking changes to his life.

Whether this change is good or bad, he has no foresight and certainty.

Thinking of a more difficult master inside, and thinking of those deep and dark eyes that often shone brightly, You Xin wanted to just sit down on the spot and stay still, at worst, just cry. He must be three years old. It's normal for kids to do this.

Thinking of this, his pace gradually slowed down. It's a pity that someone absolutely knew You Xin's thoughts too well, so he hugged him in his arms and said very considerately:

"The fifth prince must be tired, so let me do my best."

You Xin stared and tried to struggle, but he caught sight of Kuidou turning his head from the corner of his eyes, and quickly gave up all struggles, pretending to cater to Lan Lingyi, yawned, and showed a smirk very professionally.

Lan Lingyi hugged You Xin and raised his eyebrows at Kuidou, Kuidou understood and quickened his pace, and in a blink of an eye the Imperial Study Room was in front of him.
