Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Palace Banquet Competition

Seeing this scene, the queen didn't know what to do, looked at Zhou Tianqi, and wanted to ask him what he meant, but just as she was about to speak, she heard a crisp voice sound.

"Alas, it's all because Princess Ben doesn't like to dance with knives and guns since she was a child, and thinks that it is not a skill that women should learn, so she only learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from her husband, otherwise she can also play with Princess Ziyue. Now, although the princess's brothers are all good at martial arts, it is not easy to compete with a woman, even if she wins the princess, her face is not honorable, this thing is really difficult to do. Zhou Lingwei frowned slightly, as if she was really distressed.

But everyone on and off the stage secretly applauded, only Lan Ziyue was so angry that she pulled out the long whip on her waist and held it tightly, eager to wave it at Zhou Lingwei. But she is not stupid, how can she make such a move on this occasion, she laughed angrily and said: "Then according to the third princess, how is it good? This princess has always been true to her word, if she can't compete with the Seventh Prince today, it will be difficult to sleep and eat." ”

Zhou Lingwei saw that she didn't eat oil and salt, and threw the problem to herself, she was a little annoyed, but she couldn't think of any good way to deal with it for a while.

Lin Wan stood up, walked to the middle of the field, and slowly knelt down in front of Zhou Chang'an on the high platform, his voice was clear, and said: "The courtiers have an idea, let Princess Ziyue, the third princess, and the seven princes compete at the same time, although it is a little dangerous, but Princess Ziyue and the seven princes are highly skilled, and they won't hurt us, I don't know if the emperor is willing to listen to the courtiers?"

Zhou Changan looked at Lin Wan and saw her bowing down, her demeanor was calm, although she was half a head shorter than Lan Ziyue beside her, slender and unassuming, but she would never be underestimated, the firmness and confidence in her eyes made people believe that she could definitely do it.

Zhou Changan showed a hint of interest on his face, nodded and said, "Wan'er stood up and spoke." ”

Lin Wan stood up, smiled slightly, and said, "Emperor Xie!" Then he looked at Lan Ziyue and asked, "Princess Suwen whip is superb, I don't know how accurate it is?"

Lan Ziyue snorted coldly and said, "If this princess wants to take your eyes with a whip, she will never hurt one of your eyelashes." ”

Everyone couldn't help frowning when they heard Lan Ziyue's words, and even Zhou Tianqi, who had been silent, clenched his fists.

Lin Wan didn't mind, and then asked, "In this way, Princess Ziyue is very confident that she will never miss?"

Lan Ziyue didn't know what she wanted to do, and replied impatiently: "This princess has never missed, and she will never miss!"

Lin Wan asked again: "What if I miss?"

"What the hell are you going to say?" Lan Ziyue was finally enraged by her.

Lin Wan smiled faintly and said unhurriedly: "There is a jade hairpin on the head of the courtier, Princess Ziyue may use your whip to take it away, but it won't hurt a hair of the courtier?"

Lan Ziyue finally understood her intentions, and sneered, "This is also a competition?"

Lin Wan ignored her taunts, and said, "If the courtiers hide, the courtiers will lose." If Princess Purple Moon can't do it, Princess Purple Moon loses. If Princess Ziyue did it, and the courtiers didn't hide, they would change to the courtiers, and the rules would be the same. The same goes for the Seven Princes and the Third Princess!"

Lan Ziyue was reluctant to compete like this, but she couldn't find a good reason to refuse for a while, so she pondered for a moment and said, "What is the difference between such a competition and that dancing girl's performance?"

Lin Wan smiled slightly, his eyes were sly, and he said, "Since Princess Ziyue thinks it's too simple, how about the person who takes the jade hairpin blindfolded?"

Everyone present was shocked, if according to the previous conditions, many people could do it, but no one dared to try it blindfolded, not to mention that they were all golden branches and jade leaves.

"Yes, Princess Ben agrees. Lan Ziyue immediately agreed, and continued: "But, if you lose, please ask the Seventh Prince to agree to this princess's request!"

Zhou Tianqi drank tea by himself, and his eyes didn't turn around, as if Princess Ren Ziyue said something, and this matter still had nothing to do with him.

The field was quiet again, Lin Wan sighed lightly, and asked rhetorically, "What if Princess Ziyue loses?"

Lan Ziyue snorted coldly disdainfully, turned her gaze to Zhou Tianqi, raised her eyebrows, full of provocation, and said arrogantly: "This princess also agrees to a request from you, as long as it does not involve the political affairs of the two countries, and does not let the other party harm themselves." What if this princess wins, and so does the demand?"

Zhou Tianqi finally raised his head, glanced at the two women in the field lightly, and slowly got up and walked to the middle of the field to stand still, although he didn't speak, he obviously agreed.

Zhou Lingwei also got up and walked into the field, without any fear, and said firmly: "This princess and Princess Ziyue are in a group. ”

The queen didn't dare to make the decision, turned her head to look at the emperor, the emperor looked at the four young people in the field with half-squinted eyes, and spit out one word: "Quasi!"

Lin Wan curtsied to the emperor, then turned around and asked Lan Ziyue, "Is Princess Ziyue first, or is the third princess first?"

Lan Ziyue said without hesitation: "This princess first!" As soon as the words came out, she found that she had fallen for Lin Wan's plan, why didn't she ask the Seventh Prince? She just thought that if she won first, she wouldn't have to take risks later, but she didn't expect to fall for Lin Wan's trick for a while.

Lan Ziyue snorted coldly and glared at Lin Wan, but Lin Wan didn't care, walked up to Zhou Lingwei, and said with a slight smile: "Third princess, please help you sort out the jade hairpin." ”

Zhou Lingwei smiled slightly, facing Lin Wan, and lowered her body slightly.

Lin Wan tiptoed, pulled out Zhou Lingwei's jade hairpin, inserted it on the top of her head, and only inserted half of it, making it easier to obtain. The movements were soft and slow, her lips moved slightly, and she knew that she was talking to the third princess, but no one could hear what they were saying. But everyone understood that she was doing this because she was afraid that Princess Ziyue would hurt the third princess, even if it was easier to lose the game.

Lan Ziyue glanced at Lin Wan contemptuously, although she didn't know what medicine was sold in Lin Wan's gourd, she was confident that she would not lose.

The palace maid handed a tray with two black scarves and handed it to Lan Ziyue, who took a piece for herself and was about to cover it.

"Princess Ziyue, please take a good look, the third princess will keep this standing posture, you can see clearly, losing the game is a small matter, hurting our princess, but it is a big matter. Lin Wan reminded sincerely.

Although Lan Ziyue was disdainful on the surface, she still looked at Zhou Lingwei carefully again, and said coldly: "If the third princess is injured because of the turmoil, it is not the fault of this princess. ”

Zhou Lingwei remained motionless and gently spit out a word: "Please!"

Lan Ziyue looked at the distance, took two steps forward, tied her black scarf, pulled out the short whip on her waist again, and waved it in the air, making a violent noise, and everyone couldn't help but secretly shrink their heads and close their eyes.

However, Zhou Lingwei was still motionless, seemingly staring intently at Lan Ziyue, but her gaze passed through Lan Ziyue and fell behind her, looking at Jin Haoran with gentle eyes in the distance.

At this moment, no one noticed the intersection of their eyes, and they all waited for Lan Ziyue's whip with their hearts. (To be continued.) )
