In the afternoon, the envoy of the royal court of the herd yuan asked for an audience outside the Jingpei Palace, and Lin Qitan was extremely satisfied with Ri Moshu's reluctance to get involved in the Yifan rumors, and now promised to go to Pinxuan Tower the next day to practice for Ri Moshu.

After the envoy left, Lin Qitan thought about it again and again, and finally didn't want Ri Moshu to notice the rights and wrongs in the palace, so he asked Wu Huansheng to inform Gu Liuying, Lin Jianzhi, Lin Yiren, and Lin Yinyin, and let the four of them go to Zuiganmen with him tomorrow to watch the fight.

Soon, King Zhe and Lin Juyao's car was finally belatedly escorted by Yulin Jun, and Lin Yinyin learned that his father was assassinated outside Yifan City yesterday.

Lin Yinyin has always been spoiled by Lin Juyao, and has never had any care, this time at first glance, when he saw that the guards of King Zhe's Mansion were depressed and scarred, he suddenly realized that his father almost gave his life for himself, and he was shocked for a while, and cried in a dark light. Lin Juyao couldn't bear to be sad about his beloved daughter, so he had to describe the scene of yesterday's attack as if it was not in the slightest danger, which made Lin Yinyin's emotions gradually calm down.

When Lin Yiren visited Lin Juyao, he wanted to ask about the details of the assassination, but when he saw Lin Yinyin's nose red from crying, he looked frightened, so he had to swallow his thoughts.

After settling Lin Juyao, the people of Jingpei Palace began to be busy with King Zhe's dust-washing dinner. At the same time, the palace lamps were lit one after another, in the side hall dedicated to feasting and drinking, Lin Qitan sat on the throne in bright yellow civilian clothes, Gu Liuying sat next to Lin Qitan, Lin Jianzhi, Lin Juyao, Lin Yiren, and Lin Yinyin sat on both sides in turn, the food was picturesque, the wine was like a spring, the guqin was rippling, the skirt was fluttering, and the scene of singing and dancing was leveling.

"I heard that you were a little frightened yesterday?" Lin Qitan took a sip of wine and said to Lin Juyao.

"Yes," Lin Juyao said respectfully, "The younger brother didn't notice the plot for a while, and he had to worry about the imperial brother in his busy schedule, and the younger brother was really ashamed in his heart." ”

"When I left Xiao'an, I sent someone to ask you if you wanted to accompany you, and you replied that the matter of Yinyin was decided by me, why did you suddenly think that you were coming again?"

"Brother Chen......" Lin Juyao's expression was slightly gloomy, "Brother Chen's mother who dreamed of Yinyin the night before...... I can't get over it for a while......"

"That's it. Lin Yitan knew that Lin Juyao recalled the relationship between husband and wife in the past, "It is normal for you to worry about Yinyin's lifelong event, since you are here, let's see the battle of the future son-in-law with your own eyes in Yifan." ”

"Thank you, Brother Huang. Lin Juyao stood up and saluted.

"Today, only my family is here, so I don't have to be too formal. Lin said.

"Yes. Lin Juyao was about to sit down, and Lin Yinyin on the side said crisply, "Uncle Huang, I want to sit with my father, and I also ask Uncle Huang for permission." ”

Lin Juyao's expression was straight, "Yinyin, don't make a mistake in front of the emperor." ”

"It's all said to be a family banquet," Lin Qitan waved his sleeves and said to Lin Yinyin, "I'm right." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Huang!" Lin Yinyin got up happily and sat down beside Lin Juyao with her skirt.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Lin Juyao was obviously very pleased, and hurriedly asked the maid to change snacks, fruits and vegetables for Lin Yinyin, and all the choices and choices were the preferences of the beloved daughter. Lin Yinyin suddenly smiled, and there was a rare pleasant atmosphere of family gathering in the side hall.

Seeing Lin Juyao licking the calf deeply, Lin Qitan couldn't help but sigh in his heart...... thinks that back then, he also longed to get the attention of his father, but in the eyes of his father, it seems that there will always be only that elegant and upright figure.

Lin Yitan is not as good as Lin Yiran, whether it is the father, the queen mother, or the brothers, they all seem to have reached such a cognition. But Lin Yitan is not convinced, Lin Yiran has no means, will not win people's hearts, is not decisive enough, his temperament is too soft, he is not an emperor's talent at all, why does he have the great rivers and mountains of the country, why does he have the most beautiful woman in the world?

Lin Yitan was only born a year later than Lin Yiran, in fact, the status of the two mothers is comparable, and what he is short of is only one year.

"Father, Uncle Huang has also seen Brother Su......" Lin Yinyin's laughter interrupted Lin Yitan's thoughts.

"The emperor has issued an edict," Lin Juyao glanced at Lin Yiren who was sitting diagonally opposite the case, "The leader of the martial arts competition is the county horse of Zhe Wangfu, and that Su Zhuoyun is not the one who can be a county horse just because you like it." ”

Lin Yiren lowered his head and sipped his wine, as if he was deaf to the conversation between Lin Yinyin and Lin Juyao.

"Uncle Huang likes Brother Su very much. Lin Yinyin pouted dissatisfied.

"Then he must have the ability to win the championship," Lin Jian said, "Otherwise, wouldn't the Emperor's holy decree become an ornament?"

"That's what the prince said. Lin Juyao slowly bowed his head.

"I heard that there are several powerful characters in the martial arts competition?" Lin Qitan looked at Lin Jianzhi.

"Yes," Lin Jianzhi said respectfully, "Erchen just got the report, saying that among the three people who won today, Su Zhuoyun is indeed included, in addition, there are Shen Yunpeng from Xiling Palace and Gu Xiaofan from Yilanmen. When the last name was spoken, Lin Jianzhi glanced at Lin Yiren, intentionally or unintentionally.

The cup in Lin Yiren's hand froze slightly...... Gu Xiaofan...... Gu Xiaofan...... Gu Xiaofan turned out to be among the three winners...... Already out?!

"Xiling Palace?"

"Sister Gu?!"

Lin Qitan and Lin Yinyin spoke at the same time, the former frowned, and the latter exclaimed in amazement. Beside Lin Qitan, Gu Liuying looked at Lin Yiren, and a thoughtful look flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Yinyin," Lin Juyao hurriedly stopped, "What kind of system is it to be shocked in front of the emperor!"

"That Sister Gu...... Uncle Huang has also seen it. Lin Yinyin whispered.

After this disturbance, Lin Qitan remembered that Gu Xiaofan was the girl she saw in the ring that day, "What's the matter? The little girl surnamed Gu is so powerful, she has passed so many levels in one round?"

"That's her luck," Lin Jian's way, "At first, she and Bai Jiqing, the second son of Bai Mansion, took advantage of a group and passed a level. Later, the opponent he met either repaid the favor, abandoned the game, or was poisoned and could not be compared, and won a few games in a daze. ”

"Seven of the fourteen people won yesterday, and three more won today's competition, along the way, she won't always win by luck, right?" Lin Qitan said in surprise.

Erchen also felt that this matter was rare. "Lin Jian's way," in yesterday's competition, that girl and Linghai Gang's Nangong Ji played against her, I heard that she was going to lose, who knew that Nangong Ji actually rescued her in crisis, and the result gave her a chance, so that girl won again. ”

"What about today?" Lin asked.

"Today, everyone who competes has to compete with two people, and those who lose two rounds are out. Unexpectedly, the girl met her own senior brother in the first round, and her senior brother seemed to feel that even if she won, it would not be glorious enough, so she simply praised Uncle Wang for governing Yifan properly, but she didn't fight and got out of the fight. "The way of the forest stream.

"The ...... of the public" Lin Qitan picked up a grape and put it in his mouth, "What did he praise King Zhe?"

"It is probably to praise Uncle Wang for being kind and charitable, virtuous and respectful, such as a white crane in the clouds, jade and pine, no one in the court can stand out, such a person who is so bright and beautiful, but he can't see his demeanor, which is a pity...... Etcetera. "The way of the forest stream.

In the side hall, Lin Yinyin was overjoyed when she heard this, but Lin Juyao became more and more uneasy.

"Brother Wang is really famous and well-known. Lin Qitan sneered.

"The younger brother rarely asks about Yifan's affairs, and the people in the rivers and lakes are just talking. Lin Juyao said in fear.

Lin Qitan picked up another grape and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully without squeaking. In the side hall, there was a suffocating silence.

"I don't know how Gu Xiaofan won the second game of today's competition?" Lin Yiren said suddenly.

Lin Jianzhi looked at Lin Qitan, and Lin Qitan said excitedly, "Say." ”

"I heard that in the second round, that girl was playing against Qiu Yanqi of Qiuyi Villa, who knew that Qiu Yanqi's blade was inexplicably broken in two in the competition, so the battle situation became what it is today. "The way of the forest stream.

"I really didn't expect that there would be a girl among the people who won the championship......" Lin Qitan shook his head.

"Father doesn't have to worry, according to Erchen, tomorrow Gu Xiaofan is by no means the opponent of Su Zhuoyun and Shen Yunpeng. ”

"So, among Su Zhuoyun and Shen Yunpeng, there will always be a county horse who will become King Zhe's Mansion?" Lin said.

"I just need Brother Su. Lin Yinyin held her cheeks and pursed her mouth in dissatisfaction.

"The appearance and kung fu of the two of them are first-class and good, and Yinyin doesn't seem to be too wronged to find such a county horse. "The way of the forest stream.

"How come the prince has never heard of anything related to the Xiling Palace and the assassins?"

Lin Jianzhi was slightly stunned.

"Does the prince want Shen Yunpeng of Xiling Palace to become a county horse, or does he want Su Zhuoyun, who has some friendship with the Xuan Palace, to become a county horse?"

Lin Jianzhi finally sensed Lin Qitan's anger towards him.

"Father," Lin Jianzhi hurriedly bowed, "There are some rumors in Yifan City, but Father must not listen to such a short and long-term and misunderstanding his sons." ”

"Misunderstanding?" Lin Qitan said angrily, "The woman you raised outside Prince Xiao'an's Mansion is a member of Xiling Palace, a Jianghu sect, either placing people next to the prince, or trying to place them in King Zhe's Mansion, without any intentions, what do you want to do with such a layout?"

"Father!" Lin Jianzhi was eager to plead, but was coldly interrupted by Lin Qitan, "I will never let Shen Yunpeng win the championship, as the crown prince, you also need to do it yourself!"
