Seeing Lan Ziyue's frightened look, everyone immediately understood Zhou Lingwei's intentions, this was to compete with Princess Ziyue.

The audience started a new round of discussions, praising the third princess for her intelligence and bravery. Bei Xiao Nan gave the third princess a high-five without any scruples, and even the crown prince, the second prince, the third prince, Ximen Yuqing, Jin Pengzhan, and Jin Haoran all nodded in agreement.

Zhou Changan is very proud of his daughter. Concubine De was even more overjoyed, and the queen and the concubines also covered their mouths and smiled.

Lan Ziyue was difficult to ride a tiger for a while, she didn't want to admit defeat, and she didn't dare to take risks, so she had to grit her teeth and stand there, betting that Zhou Lingwei didn't dare to really hurt herself.

Who knows, Zhou Lingwei did not hesitate, wrote down Lan Ziyue's location, asked the palace maid to help her tie a black scarf, held the sword in both hands, and the tip of the sword rushed straight towards Lan Ziyue's face.

Seeing that the sword was coming towards her, Lan Ziyue's eyes widened in disbelief, but this happened like this, seeing that the sword was coming at her face impartially, she hurriedly flashed to the side.

Zhou Lingwei kept rushing forward, and was about to rush off the high platform, but Zhou Tianqi suddenly appeared in front of her, held her steadily, took the sword in her hand, helped her take off her scarf, and said with a rare smile: "You won!"

Lin Wan couldn't help but smile, of course she knew that this sentence was said to herself.

The audience burst into earth-shattering applause for a long time.

Zhou Tianqi, Lin Wan, and Zhou Lingwei each returned to their seats, as if nothing had happened.

Only Lan Ziyue was still standing in the middle of the arena indignantly, unable to step down.

The applause stopped, the audience was quiet, Zhou Lingwei stood up again, and smiled at Lan Ziyue and said, "Princess Ziyue is strong in martial arts, and Lingwei admires her very much. The result of the competition is not important, and Brother Qi and I don't have anything to do with Princess Ziyue, Lingwei thinks that she is opportunistic, so she won this competition. Fortunately, this palace banquet is to welcome the envoys of various countries, everyone is happy, just take it as a show, please don't take Princess Ziyue to heart. After speaking, he nodded slightly to Lan Ziyue and sat down slowly.

The officials in the audience were also secretly proud and proud of the wise and brave third princess.

"Okay, this matter is over, no one is allowed to mention it again, and the dinner continues!" The emperor opened his mouth to reveal the matter, and Father-in-law Qi hurriedly let the two dancing girls who were sitting on the stage get off the stage. The music starts again, and another group of dancing girls takes the stage to perform.

The officials in the audience began to drink and dance again, as if they had really forgotten what had just happened, Ximen Yuqing on the stage was still staring at Lin Wan with interest, and anyone with eyes could see that he was very interested in Lin Wan.

And although Zhou Tianqi didn't show it on his face, he was already eager to break Ximen Yu's body into pieces.

Seeing that everyone was not paying attention to herself, Lan Ziyue glared at Lin Wan fiercely, turned around and returned to her seat, and poured the wine fiercely.

Lu Manting turned sideways, took Lin Wan's hand, and said abruptly: "Sister Wan'er, my sister was also in a hurry just now, don't be angry with me." ”

Lin Wan shook her head and said with a smile: "Sister is well-intentioned, sister understands, how can I be angry with you?" and then whispered in Lu Manting's ear: "My sister was scared just now, and her clothes behind her back were soaked." ”

Lu Manting covered her mouth and chuckled. Lin Wan summoned the palace maid and asked her to take her to change clothes.

Lu Manting hurriedly got up and said, "I'll go with my sister." ”

Lin Wan pressed her shoulder and stopped: "No need, sister sit in peace, sister will come back in a while." ”

Lu Manting saw that Zhou Tianqi on the other side was looking at this, her heart jumped, her face was slightly red, she nodded, and sat down again.

Lin Wan followed the palace maid out of the main hall, Qingtong and Wang Qi were waiting outside the door, and the four of them bypassed the main hall, only to see that behind the palace was a large garden, and a row of side rooms in the garden was specially used for the female dependents to rest and change clothes.

The palace maid sent the three of them to the door of the wing room, and Lin Wan sent her back. Qingtong was guarding at the door, Wang Qi accompanied Lin Wan into the wing, Lin Wan changed out of palace clothes and put on a much more comfortable skirt, the light blue in the moonlight made her even more beautiful.

Out of the wing room, Lin Wan didn't want to go back to the palace banquet, and took Qingtong and Wang Qi for a walk in the garden. The State Banquet Palace under the night sky is brilliantly lit, but in the distance is a shadow of buildings, and rows of green bamboos are planted in the garden, which are all soothed in the night breeze, one by one, slender and long, straight to the sky.

There are not many ladies in the palace banquet today, so there are no others in this garden, only a few palace maids are boiling tea in the ear room. Lin Wan walked for a while, and although he didn't want to return to the banquet, he still had to go back.

Walking out of the bamboo forest, he saw a woman in red walking quickly towards him with unsteady steps, just looking at her figure, Lin Wan had already recognized that it was Lan Ziyue.

Qingtong stood in front of Lin Wan in a flash, preventing Lan Ziyue from suddenly making a move.

Lan Ziyue stopped and snorted coldly: "Miss Lin Qi, where do you not meet in life, you and this princess are really fateful." Miss Lin Qi is very smart and has a good conversation, and this princess also appreciates it very much, and she has the heart to get acquainted. As he spoke, his voice turned strong and said, "But, why can't Miss Lin Qi get along with this princess everywhere?"

Lin Wan didn't know how to answer this, it was true that Lan Ziyue didn't deliberately trouble herself every time, but she happened to embarrass her friends every time, and she had to be in the limelight, it was really not what she wanted, Lin Wan smiled slightly, and said: "Why did Princess Ziyue say this? The little woman really admires Princess Ziyue very much, seeing the stalemate of the scene, she racked her brains to help Princess Ziyue break the siege, and she has no intention of embarrassing Princess Ziyue." ”

"You!" Lan Ziyue was speechless for a while, gritted her teeth and said, "What a sharp-toothed girl, look at how this princess breaks your mouth!"

As he spoke, he waved his palm and slapped it on Lin Wan's face, Lin Wan was motionless, and Qingtong was ready to attack.

"Princess Purple Moon. A big hand suddenly appeared, grabbed Lan Ziyue's wrist, and made her unable to move, only to see Ximen Yuqing hook her lips and smile, squinting at Lan Ziyue and saying: "The dignified third princess of Nanyue, take revenge on Miss Lin Qi in private, this word spreads, it can be very detrimental to the reputation of the princess." ”

Ximen Yuqing's words are mean and uninhibited, Lan Ziyue has already been taught, seeing that he is standing up for Lin Wan, although he is angry, he has to force it down, and snorted coldly: "This princess went to the wing room to change clothes, but she was unexpectedly collided by these few minions who are not long-eyed, and she was drunk, and she didn't see it clearly, it turned out to be Miss Lin Qi, it was a pure misunderstanding." He turned to look at Ximen Yuqing and said mockingly: "However, this is the garden where the ladies change their clothes, I don't know what Prince Ximen is doing here?"

Ximen Yuqing smiled, not embarrassed at all, and said half-truthfully: "After this prince saw Miss Lin Qi come out, Princess Ziyue also came out, thinking that Princess Ziyue was going to find Miss Lin Qi to be angry, so he thought about rushing to the hero to save the beauty, but he didn't think about it, but it was the heart of this prince's villain." The words changed, and he said: "However, I happened to see Princess Ziyue do it, and I happened to be fortunate to help the two resolve the misunderstanding, and it was not worth the trip."
