Chapter Seventy-Six: The Princess's Eight-Character Mantra
"Hmph, the one who loses should be the princess!" Ye Ruyan snorted coldly, and the two of them met in mid-air, sparking a burst of sparks.
In the confused eyes of everyone, Lin Xiaoyou smiled proudly: "Has the princess forgotten the rules of our competition? Whoever finishes writing these two pieces of paper within a stick of incense first will win." It's a pity that although the princess started writing first, there is still a short paragraph that has not been written, and although the princess started writing later, she wrote it before you in a stick of incense. Isn't it clear who wins or loses?"
"Princess, you said you finished writing, do you dare to take it out and read it?" Ye Ruyan said suspiciously. No matter what tricks Lin Xiaoyou plays, she will not let her succeed, and she will not want to get by.
"Of course, the princess was originally written specifically for the princess. Lin Xiaoyou said with a meaningful smile.
Xiahou Yichen's phoenix eyes swept to the palace maid next to her, "Didn't you hear what the princess said?
"The slave knows what is wrong. The palace maid shuddered, and hurriedly stepped forward with the other three people, carefully picked up the words written on the table, and displayed them in front of everyone.
It's okay not to look at it, but this time, everyone present changed their faces. I saw four big words written on the two blank pieces of paper: marry a wife and marry a virtuous, and take a concubine. Her handwriting was beautiful and powerful, and she wrote two sheets of paper full.
"Princess, what does this mean? With these eight words, you want to prove that you won?" Ye Ruyan is not a fool, how can he not see Lin Xiaoyu's explicit sarcasm. However, in the future, it is too naΓ―ve to want to send her away in eight words.
"Princess, this princess has made it clear before. This competition is about speed, not the number of words. There is no limit to how to write and what to write, anyway, as long as it is within a stick of incense, whoever writes the two pieces of paper first will win. Do you want to repent?"
Ye Ruyan's face was blue and white for a while, and he bit his lip tightly for a while, and his expression was extraordinarily exciting. At this moment, there was only one thought in her heart: she had fallen into a trick and fell into Lin Xiaoyu's trap. But who can be blamed for this, if she wasn't too conceited, why did she fall to this point. She is unwilling, she is a princess of a country, how can she kowtow to a concubine in front of the public and confess her guilt. Such humiliation, if it is rumored, it will lose the face of their entire Tianjin Kingdom.
"The princess is really calculating. The faces of the envoys of the Heavenly Kingdom were already so dark that they couldn't be darker, and the man in gray clenched the wine glass in his hand and said with a cold face: "Could it be that such a clandestine and tricky trick is the hospitality of your Dragon Shadow Kingdom?"
"Everyone knows whether the princess of this king is cheating or cheating, but does the princess want to rebel in front of everyone?" The smug smile on Xiahou Yichen's face, he didn't need to see how happy he was at the moment.
"Alright. Ye Ruyan tried his best to hide the love in his heart, and glanced at the man in gray to stop him. It's not that she's not angry, it's not that she's not angry, it's on someone else's territory, and it's a competition that she took the initiative to provoke. Now that she has lost, if she continues to make trouble, it will only make others look down on her and Tianjin Kingdom even more. Lin Xiaoyou took advantage of the loophole, but the previous rules also made it very clear, and there was no limit to how to write. It's only to blame her for being negligent for a while, and she was careless about the enemy. "The outcome has been decided, like smoke, willing to admit defeat. β
It's just a little clever, Yin Fengqing smiled slightly, "That's it, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, but the competition that increases the atmosphere, the princess doesn't have to mind, it's up to the point!" The gentle sentence was full of deep meaning, and he smiled and classified the competition as everyone's entertainment, deliberately ignoring the bet set by the two before.
Ye Ruyan is extremely smart, how could he not understand what Yin Fengqing meant. I was secretly happy in my heart, and I was trying to follow Yin Fengqing's steps to avoid the embarrassing punishment. Unexpectedly, someone didn't give her a chance at all, "Queen Mother, is this a threat? or an order?" The lazy voice sounded in front of Ye Ruyan, Xiahou Yichen shook the wine glass in his hand with a smile, his movements were elegant and evil, as if he didn't know what kind of embarrassment his words would bring to Yin Fengqing.
Yin Fengqing's displeased look quickly flashed from his eyes, Xiahou Yichen had changed, no matter what Xiahou Yichen said before, he would only ignore it directly. And now Xiahou Yichen started from the palace banquet, and for Lin Xiaoyou, he refuted and contradicted her again and again, and each time he was more ruthless. After a while, Yin Fengqing barely squeezed out a smile, "Look at this child, he didn't marry the princess when he didn't marry him, but now that he has married the princess, he has protected him tightly, for fear of being bullied." "A person who can gain a firm foothold in the palace where he eats people and does not spit out bones can be a simple character, Yin Fengqing joked with a smile and fun, and easily resolved the embarrassment.
There was a cold light hidden in the slight smile on the corner of Xiahou Yichen's mouth, the night was like smoke and secretly anxious, the original hope was stirred up by Xiahou Yichen, and it completely collapsed, ruthlessly cutting off her back road, forcing her to kneel and serve tea to Lin Xiaoyou.
The people with different expressions in the field, you look at me, I look at you, the strange atmosphere is deadlocked, so that they don't dare to come out. In the oppressive air, Xiahou Yixuan finally spoke, "Queen Mother, I feel that the princess is not an unreasonable person, and she shouldn't be too embarrassed by the princess, so leave this matter to them to deal with themselves!" He seemed to be excusing Ye Ruyan on the surface, but in fact he gave the initiative to Lin Xiaoyu. The night is like smoke, arrogant and aggressive, and she should be made to suffer.
Yin Fengqing's face changed, and she said coldly: "Your Majesty, the person who came is a guest, the fifth princess Golden Branches and Jade Leaves, who have come all the way to our Dragon Shadow Country. Wouldn't it make people laugh at the hospitality of our Dragon Shadow Country? If it is rude in front of others and affects the harmonious relations between the two countries, it will be a big loss because of a small loss. β
The old witch doesn't know which side she is, no wonder Xiahou Yichen is at odds with her. Looking at Yin Fengqing, who was always helping outsiders, Lin Xiaoyou quietly muttered in her heart, got up and said, "Brother Yixuan, what the Queen Mother said is right. The fifth princess is our honored guest, and we can't afford to be rude. The competition just now is just to have fun, there is no need to take it to heart, how dare Xiaoyou really ask the princess to kneel on the ground for me to make tea. As he spoke, he turned his head to Ye Ruyan and said, "Princess, I just offended." β
Her sincere words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, especially the envoys of the Night Ruyan and the Heavenly Kingdom. If she really gave Lin Xiaoyou a tea ceremony today, I was afraid that they would have been drowned by the spittle stars ridiculed by outsiders before they left the Dragon Shadow Country. When she returns to Tianjin Kingdom, a princess who has lost the face of the country, who can tolerate her.
"The princess is serious, and she should thank the princess's subordinates for their mercy. Ye Ruyan also stood up and replied politely.
Yin Fengqing nodded, and said to Xiahou Yixuan with relief: "Your Majesty, you are really not mistaken, Xiaoyou really knows the general situation. β
Lin Xiaoyu smiled weirdly, her words haven't spoken yet, will she praise too early?" "Speaking of which, the princess is also for the prince of my family, and this move is because of deep affection, and everyone understands your intentions." As the saying goes: marry a wife and marry a virtuous, and take a concubine. Although the princess is not as good-looking as the prince, she is also a talented girl who is as beautiful as a fairy. If the princess doesn't dislike it, the door of the palace will be open for you at any time. β
Ye Ruyan just breathed a sigh of relief, and was unprepared to be choked by Lin Xiaoyu's words. When did she become a dignified princess of the kingdom reduced to the point of being a concubine? She has always been high, and at this moment, Ye Ruyan only felt that her self-esteem was trampled under Lin Xiaoyu's feet, and the boundless sense of humiliation spread throughout her body.
"Princess, this king knows that you feel sorry for me, but you don't need to stuff all the messy ugly monsters into the house! This king is not blind, if every morning when he opens his eyes, he sees an ugly monster who is not as good as this king, how can you make me embarrassed. Xiahou Yichen sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Compared with Lin Xiaoyu's abrupt and straightforward sarcasm, Xiahou Yichen's words obviously had a greater impact, not only making Ye Ruyan stunned, but also making those young ladies who had thoughts about him confused. There is no other reason, even the noble five princesses who coexist with beauty and talent are called ugly by him, let alone them.
Xiahou Yichen and Lin Xiaoyou sang and harmonized very tacitly, which made Ye Ruyan's originally red face suffocate the color of pig liver, as ugly as it was. Lin Xiaoyou hit her, but she didn't expect Xiahou Yichen to insert a kick mercilessly, which was undoubtedly a knife in her heart. was so belittled by the person she loved so much, Rao is her previous appearance was elegant, calm, and at this moment, she was also dissipated by the humiliation.
Looking at Xiahou Yichen's seductive face, as well as his careless wanton evil posture in his gestures, Ye Ruyan felt as indifferent as a cold wind. It's just that she wants to hate but can't. If it weren't for her, how could the prince treat her like this? It's best not to fall into her hands, otherwise today's shame will be returned a hundredfold.
"What do you mean, Lord Wang?" The envoys of the Tianjin Kingdom opened their eyes one by one, obviously angered by Xiahou Yichen's words. How could the five princesses of their Tianjin Kingdom become a mess and ugly in his eyes? Xiahou Yichen's move made it clear that he did not take their Tianjin Kingdom in his eyes.
"Everyone, you are angry, the imperial brother has no intention of offending. In the tense atmosphere, Xiahou Yixuan maintained his usual warmth like the wind and said lightly.
Yin Fengqing looked at the culprit who caused Xiahou Yichen to get into trouble expressionlessly, and felt more and more that Lin Xiaoyu was an eyesore. "Chen'er, in front of the VIPs, can't you restrain your temperament a little?"
The old witch is really annoying, fortunately Xiahou Yichen is not easy to bully, otherwise she would not be killed. Lin Xiaoyou frowned, secretly feeling glad for Xiahou Yichen.
Xiahou Yichen put the wine glass in his hand on the table with a "bang", pulled up Lin Xiaoyou and said, "Princess, this king is tired, let's go home." β
"Does the prince want to leave without giving a reasonable explanation?" Seeing that he was leaving, the man in gray disdainfully stopped him.
"Don't be rude. Ye Ruyan scolded softly, thought for a while and said: "Lord, Ruyan is going to the Dragon Shadow Kingdom this time, I don't know if I can borrow it for a few days in the palace." β
"The king's mansion is not an inn. For Ye Ruyan's request, Xiahou Yichen directly and ruthlessly refused, and Lin Xiaoyou, who was beside Lala, reminded: "What do you want?
These words made Xiahou Yixuan a little overwhelmed. It's just once or twice, and every time it makes the night run into a wall, it's always not good-looking.
As expected, although Ye Ruyan felt a little rude, she was not surprised at all. If she is so easy to talk casually, it is not Xiahou Yichen that she has a fancy for.
After hitting the wall again and again, and still not knowing how to advance or retreat, Lin Xiaoyou smiled proudly, "Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute." Hurriedly grabbed him, the good show she had prepared hadn't been played yet, and it wasn't in vain that the night was like smoke. Even if you don't clean up the night like smoke, you can't just leave, what if Brother Yixuan didn't do what she asked her to do?Should she agree?" That, but ......" Lin Xiaoyou thought of the matter of Yin Qiumeng that Xiahou Yixuan had mentioned to her, and hesitated for a while.
"But what is it? This king has been on the road for so long, he is tired, and he is not allowed to go back to the house early to rest?" Xiahou Yichen couldn't help but say and pulled her away.
Forget it, anyway, Xiahou Yichen wants to take a concubine, one is to accept, and two are also to be accepted, she will let it out today, "Wait a minute, Lord Wang, have you forgotten the condition you just promised me?"
"Oh, you figured it out so quickly?" Xiahou Yichen stopped and asked.
"That's right, I like Miss Yin Qiumeng a lot, why don't you take her in and be my companion?" Lin Xiaoyou said with a smile and pointed at Yin Qiumeng.
Quiet, the audience was silent, and following the direction of her finger, the hostile eyes of all the young ladies looked at Yin Qiumeng. Happiness came too suddenly, Yin Qiumeng was stunned and at a loss, she really didn't expect Lin Xiaoyou to speak for her, and the joy was as sweet as honey in her heart. looked at Xiahou Yichen nervously, expecting his answer.
The Queen Mother was slightly stunned, letting Meng'er enter the palace was something she had always been concerned about, but Xiahou Yichen did not let go, and it has been delayed until now. Now Lin Xiaoyou has brought it up in person, what is her intention, what is her intention, isn't she afraid that Meng'er will rob her of the position of princess?
"This is your condition?" Xiahou Yichen chuckled, and his words in a leisurely tone could not hear the slightest emotion. looked at Lin Xiaoyu, and his radiant eyes turned to Xiahou Yixuan again. There were so many young ladies in the field, even if Lin Xiaoyou took the initiative to take a concubine for him, how could he just choose Yin Qiumeng by coincidence? If you want to say that it doesn't matter, he really doesn't believe it.
Xiahou Yixuan did not dodge or dodge, and looked back at him calmly. Seeing that they were about to leave, at the critical moment, Xiaoyou still stepped forward to help him. It's rare for her to be so attentive, knowing that she might offend his imperial brother, and she can choose to help him.
Lin Xiaoyou nodded, his seemingly calm expression was actually extremely nervous. Xiahou Yichen won't turn his face with her, that's bad, what she is gambling on now is the conditions he promised her.
Dead woman, really going to make trouble for him. After a long time, Xiahou Yichen said dissatisfiedly: "Lin Xiaoyu, when did you learn to turn your elbows out?"
Hearing his complaining tone, he didn't seem to be angry, Lin Xiaoyou hurriedly smiled flatteringly, "Lord Wang, you can't go back on the conditions you promised yourself." β
"Got it. Xiahou Yichen snorted coldly, turned his head and said to Yin Qiumeng very unhappily: "Miss Yin will come to the palace by herself tomorrow morning, this king has no time to greet her." With an impatient look, he pulled Lin Xiaoyou and left quickly.
Leaving behind everyone who looked at each other, as well as the ecstatic Yin Qiumeng. She can finally enter the palace, and she can finally be with the prince, Lin Xiaoyu, a stepping stone, is not useless. Since she helped her today, as long as she gives up the position of princess in the future, then she will let her live.
Liu Shuyun was not as happy as Yin Qiumeng, and secretly shook her head, faintly worried about Yin Qiumeng's future. Her daughter, Miss Yan of the dignified Guogong Mansion, is married without saying ten miles of red makeup, and she is extremely beautiful, and now she can't even get her husband's righteous eyes, how can she live in the future? Thinking of this, my heart is sad.
The hateful Lin Xiaoyou, she is her sister, she is not facing her own family, but to outsiders, she is really a white-eyed wolf. Lin Qingyue looked at the excited Yin Qiumeng, and was very unwilling in her heart.
Outside the palace gate, Dongfan was already waiting here in a carriage, Lan Yu was standing next to Xiangqing, and Hai Bing and another carriage were waiting with them.
"See the prince, the princess. When they saw them come out, they all saluted.
Lin Xiaoyou smiled, and just wanted to ask about Xiangqing's injury, but he was pulled by Xiahou Yichen and walked directly in front of them. "Oh, Xiahou Yichen, what are you doing, you light, it hurts me. Lin Xiaoyou couldn't break free from his shackles when he followed behind.
"Noise. Xiahou Yichen ignored it at all, quickly jumped into the carriage, and pulled her up with his hand.
Lan Yu and Xiangqing looked at each other and smiled, and consciously sat in a carriage behind them with Hai Bing and followed them home.
got into the carriage and wanted to stay away from Xiahou Yichen, but he was pulled by him and could only sit next to him. Lin Xiaoyou shook his hand unhappily and reminded: "Don't act, let go." β
Xiahou Yichen laughed sullenly, holding her soft and delicate hand but refused to let go of half a minute. "Little hedgehog who doesn't know the height of the sky, you still have the spirit to mess with me. β
"Of course I have spirit, and when I think of the days when you are in dire straits in the future, my spirit is very good. Thinking of the events at the banquet, Lin Xiaoyu was furious. Damn Xiahou Yichen, didn't he say that he was afraid of guilt, then she had to use her virtuous cultivation to help him accept the beauty. deliberately dragged her into the water, it is not so easy to be a good person yourself.
"Hahaha, Lin Xiaoyu, it's not necessarily who is in dire straits. Those women are fighting the idea of your princess's position, as long as you have the opportunity to enter the palace, you are their fierce rival. You like to make trouble for your old enemies, don't blame me for not reminding you. Xiahou Yichen's relaxed tone was not hurried or impatient, and the light of calculation jumped in the glass-like phoenix eyes. It's just a bunch of stupid women, and he doesn't care about it. Provoke him, and let them disappear quietly is just a matter of effort.
"What am I afraid of? Those women are going for you anyway. If they want to sit in the position of the princess, they have to pass your level first, without your favor, they can only watch and not sit. is saying, the position of princess is not uncommon for me, whoever likes it will take it. I'll just wait to see how you're eaten and wiped clean by them. Seeing that he didn't let go, Lin Xiaoyou turned his back to Xiahou Yichen, leaning lazily against the wall of the car and closing his eyes. As soon as my mind relaxed, I fell asleep tiredly unconsciously.
The little hedgehog is easy-going with everyone, but he is always covered with thorns. Listening to her steady breathing, Xiahou Yichen said a word, reached out to take her, and gently turned her head to lean on his shoulder.
"Xiahou Yichen, you stinky fox...... Xu is body temperature was felt, Lin Xiaoyou muttered in a daze, rubbed against him, stretched out his hand around his neck, and then fell asleep comfortably.
Xiahou Yichen looked at her motionless in amazement, for fear of waking her up, and it took a while before he slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Damn, I didn't even forget to scold him when I was sleeping, and when she woke up, she looked good. Smelling the fresh and elegant fragrance on Lin Xiaoyu's body, Xiahou Yichen only felt that his heart was quiet and serene that he had never felt before. He gently stroked the hair on her shoulder, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised to reveal a smug smile.
