Chapter 239: The Royal Ball
Lin Yan only took these two things that were useful to him, as for the gold coin card and the second-order spirit beast crystal nucleus, he didn't take another look, especially for that gold coin card, he was not interested in it at all.
For gold coins, he can have as many as he wants.
You know, he still has a batch of Zhuji Dan and seven Blood-Melting Spirit Pills on his body, as long as he takes them out for auction, there will be a large amount of gold coins in his account without any suspense, and he will continue to refine more.
Seeing that Lin Yan finally agreed, Liang Yuexuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't think about what the black metal card she paid meant.
"Your Highness, why do you have to ask me to be your bodyguard?" For this question, Lin Yan always wanted to know the answer.
"Because I'm going to leave the imperial capital for a while, and I don't want to attract anyone's attention, if it is naturally easy to find a bodyguard from the royal family, it is also easy to cause misunderstandings, and you have nothing to do with the royal family, and you have a very high vigilance, so I think you are the most suitable person. ”
Liang Yuexuan said seriously, at this moment, she has no princess spirit at all, and her attitude is also very serious.
"Oh, where is Your Highness going, and can't be escorted by the royal family?" Lin Yan was even more surprised, and at the same time needed to understand what environment and challenges he was about to face.
"Have you heard of the Lingxiu Sect?" Liang Yuexuan suddenly mentioned there.
The three words "Lingxiu Sect" are not unfamiliar to Lin Yan, and he has not forgotten the threat to himself that woman haughtily threatened him before she took Xiao Yingxue away.
"Of course I know, it is known as one of the five major sects in the Wasteland. Although he didn't have a good impression of Lingxiu Sect, Lin Yan remained calm at the moment, but a ruthless color flashed in his eyes.
"It seems that you are not so lonely and unheard!" Liang Yuexuan smiled with satisfaction, and continued, "The place I am going back to this time is the Lingxiu Sect, because it will become very lively, and I also want to take this opportunity to see what the legendary five great sects are like, and I also want to see how talented the legendary Heavenly Pride Girl is!"
Without waiting for Lin Yan to speak, she continued: "Because it is one of the five major sects, and it has a bad relationship with the royal family of Qingliang Kingdom, it is not possible for the royal family to send a master to protect me, and I also want you to compete with their geniuses, so that those sects know that we also have geniuses in the secular world!"
It turns out that her real purpose is this.
However, Lin Yan was more concerned about whether the "legendary pride of heaven" she was talking about was Xiao Yingxue, "Who is that pride of the sky?"
"Don't you really know?" In response to Lin Yan's question, Liang Yuexuan was very surprised this time, "You should be from Qingluo City, haven't you heard that there is a Xiao Yingxue in your Qingluo City?"
How did she know the relationship between Lin Yan and Xiao Yingxue, she only knew that Lin Yan had a father who was a criminal in the imperial court, but she didn't mind that.
Of course, this is also because Lin Yan is not like other aristocratic teenagers, not only looking at her eyes full of possessiveness that she doesn't like, but also always flattering and flattering, making her feel that Lin Yan hates and is reliable.
What's more, she and the man in black in front of her inspected Lin Yan twice in a row, and found that he did indeed have a strong vigilance and could deal with possible threats.
Sure enough, it's Yingxue!
Lin Yan's heart moved, trying to stay calm, "You mean Xiao Yingxue, of course I know, but why Lingxiu Sect is about to become very lively, does this have anything to do with her?"
"Of course there is, because her master has already sent an invitation to the geniuses of the other four major sects, saying that she has already reached the ninth level of condensation qi before she is sixteen years old, and it only took three months to cultivate from the sixth level of condensing qi, and she will soon build a foundation, and also said how beautiful she is, and she wants to take the opportunity to choose a Taoist companion!"
Liang Yuexuan's tone was more or less unconvinced, and her pretty face unconsciously revealed a trace of disdain.
After all, she herself is also a peerless beautiful girl who is as beautiful as a fairy, and she has already reached the ninth level of condensation before she is sixteen years old, whether it is talent or beauty, she thinks that she is no worse than Xiao Yingxue at all, so there is a strong contrast in her heart.
"What? Choose a Taoist couple!" This surprised Lin Yan, the so-called Taoist couple is actually a partner, that is, it is equivalent to a blind date, how can this make him not angry!
Damn! Really hateful! At this moment, his eyes radiated with intense anger, and it was difficult to even control it. Of course, he didn't think it was Xiao Yingxue's own idea, but the idea of that disgusting woman.
"Huh, why did you react so strongly, do you know Xiao Yingxue?" Liang Yuexuan naturally noticed Lin Yan's abnormal expression.
"Of course, in fact, she is my fiancée!" This is not a secret, Lin Yan also thinks that there is no need to hide it, and it makes him more confident when he says it.
"What are you talking about, she's your fiancée!" At this moment, Liang Yuexuan was stunned, and her eyes looking at Lin Yan were also full of scrutiny and curiosity......

For hundreds of years, the people of Huangzhou will celebrate every harvest in various forms, and naturally singing and dancing are indispensable.
This custom spread to the upper nobility, but the form of dance also changed, from a simple celebration to a display between young men and women for the sake of emotional exchange, and then to a means of communication between men and women.
Not only women are very fond of dance, but many young men are also very enthusiastic about dance, because dance does have too strong seductive power, because everyone is very eager to be noticed by everyone, and dancing is the best way to attract everyone's attention with a low threshold, so all aristocratic young men and women are extremely enthusiastic, and even married men and women can't resist the impulse in their hearts.
For this reason, the nobles often held various forms of balls, and this occasion evolved into an important social opportunity, which was highly valued.
For example, when encountering a major festival in the Qingliang Kingdom such as the Qingwu Festival, the royal family will inevitably hold a large-scale celebration ball, and this kind of ball is also the most important social activity of the nobles of the imperial capital Fengtian City, which is indispensable to be absent.
At this moment, in a splendid palace, countless men and women have arrived, and this is the place where the royal ball is held, but the protagonist of the ball, that is, Princess Tanyue, has not yet appeared, so everyone did not start dancing, but just chatted with each other.
Most of these men and women are unmarried, of course, there are also many middle-aged men and women, they are all important ministers of the court and the heads of major families, all of them are also dressed in gorgeous costumes or colorful long skirts, each with a warm and charming smile on their faces, and they talk about a variety of topics.
And the protagonist they were looking forward to, Princess Tanyue, was busy in her bedroom at the moment, because she needed to change her clothes, and as for Lin Yan, she was helplessly waiting stupidly outside the dormitory.
"Woman, isn't it just to change clothes, do you need to waste so much time, it's really troublesome!" Lin Yan had been waiting for several teas, and he was already impatient about this, and even had the urge to rush in.
Of course, he still resisted not being so reckless, if he dared to break into the princess's bedroom, not to mention that this behavior was extremely rude, it would also be a major blow to the princess's reputation.
But just when he couldn't bear it anymore, he saw a gorgeous and charming moving girl standing in front of him beautifully!
A moon-white palace dress skirt makes her extremely holy, graceful and delicate, and her curves are beautiful and moving!
The eyebrows are picturesque, pretty and noble, the eyes are full of waves, the appearance under the soft smile is beautiful, and the graceful and beautiful light is compelling, which is a rare beauty in the world!
At this moment, her cheeks were red, her cherry lips were plump, and her big watery eyes flashed with the magic of seduction.
Her jet-black hair was still a little damp, obviously she should have taken a bath, but this made her full of a bit of coquettishness, and at the same time, it was even more pleasant, completely beautiful and flawless like a newly blooming snow lotus!
An emerald green jade ring gently and casually curled the three thousand green silks, but they still hung down to her waist, and with the gentle swaying of her head, the soft hair swayed slightly, flowing and very charming.
However, Lin Yan was not in much mood to appreciate the incarnated fairy in front of him at the moment, he had already noticed that Liang Yuexuan's hair was still exuding a faint mist, and immediately understood, so he said with a little reproach: "Your Royal Highness Princess, no wonder you are so rubbing, it turns out that you actually took a bath, isn't it just a dance party, is it necessary to be so troublesome?"
Just now, he was still happy, but when he heard Lin Yan's words, Liang Yuexuan's pretty face suddenly fell, and she snorted coquettishly, "It seems that you are really a dirt bun, this kind of dance is very important, do you make this princess like a mountain village girl!"
said, and looked at Lin Yan's dress, "You are barely strong, but you are definitely not as handsome as the other boys, they will definitely dress up one by one, and they will dress like gorgeous peacocks, because this is a rare opportunity for them." ”
"Opportunity?" Lin Yan immediately understood, and smiled slightly, "Hehe, if you can win the favor of Her Royal Highness the princess with just one outfit, it is simply a fool's dream!"
"You're right, I haven't seen what kind of handsome guy this princess has, and a few of them have achieved glory and wealth by virtue of their own efforts, if it weren't for their background, I'm afraid they would be no different from ordinary civilians. Liang Yuexuan is obviously dismissive of most of the princes and grandchildren.
Lin Yan shook his head slightly, "What His Royal Highness Gongzi said is just some unenterprising children, but as far as I know, there are still many noble children who are not like that, after they have obtained the key training of the family, whether it is their own quality or cultivation, they are extraordinary, coupled with a high starting point, they will achieve great gains in the future, and a very small number of them will achieve higher achievements than their parents." ”
This was not Lin Yan's imagination, but a conclusion based on the experience of his previous life.
Because the vast majority of civilians have very low vision, especially lack of understanding of human nature and society, and are unable to look at problems from a higher level, it is difficult for their children's awareness to be improved.
On the contrary, those children who have been trained in large families can acquire comprehensive knowledge of human nature and society at an early age, know how to obtain everything they want, have a higher vision, a larger vision, a more far-sighted way of thinking, and know how to communicate with others, so their achievements in the future are limitless.
People are poor and short-sighted, and this sentence is indeed true in many cases.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to see the problem a little deeper! You actually know this!" Liang Yuexuan obviously didn't expect Lin Yan to have such a deep insight, which made her also have a new understanding of Lin Yan, and her beautiful eyes kept scanning Lin Yan's body, as if she wanted to see him through.
"Where, it's just a feeling!" Lin Yan smiled faintly, although he was appreciated by this beautiful princess, he was still very natural and would not be complacent, and then changed the topic, "It's not too early, let's rush to the dance scene as soon as possible, it is estimated that everyone has been waiting for His Highness for a long time!"
"Well, then we'll go over now!" Liang Yuexuan nodded, and then suddenly thought of something, "But you have to be more careful in a while!"
"Why did Your Highness say this?" Lin Yan was slightly stunned.
"Although you grabbed that token, there will definitely be many noble sons who are very angry with you, including the elites you mentioned, you have to face their challenges!" Liang Yuexuan seemed to smile, and she was quite proud, and even faintly looked forward to it, as for what she was looking forward to, I am afraid only she knows.
Lin Yan shrugged his shoulders and didn't seem to care much, "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!"
"I appreciate your style!" Liang Yuexuan admired Lin Yan's spirit very much, "Since you are my dance partner, let's walk into the dance together!"
Lin Yan naturally did not twist and pinch, but walked side by side with this noble and beautiful princess very generously, all the way to a palace......
————
The palace is called Yuehe Hall and is also the first choice for the royal family to host various large-scale events. The momentum here is magnificent, the eaves are blowing the clouds, the majestic and magnificent, the whole hall is decorated with gold and jade, with pearls and emeralds between them, it seems to be extremely luxurious and lewd, and the poor are extremely ingenious.
Everything here can no longer be described as luxurious, it is completely super luxurious!
Lin Yan sighed in his heart, such a palace doesn't know how much people's fat and people's ointment to squeeze!
Liang Yuexuan, who was on the side, noticed that Lin Yan's expression was full of strangeness, and couldn't help asking, "How is it, this palace is very beautiful!"
"It's not just beautiful, it's a paradise on earth!" Lin Yan said very politely, he knew very well that if he said something unpleasant, he was afraid that it would make the princess very unhappy, and this would not be good for himself.
Later, when Lin Yan and Liang Yuexuan walked into the Yuehe Palace, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Look! Princess Tanyue has finally appeared!"
"Princess Tanyue is really a pure angel, a fairy in the sky, and no beautiful words are enough to describe her beauty!"
"She's definitely a goddess to me!" ......
Especially those young rule children, looking at Liang Yuexuan one by one, their eyes were full of strong hope, and even the corners of their mouths were about to flow out of their mouths, of course, there were people who dreamed of her......
However, people also noticed Lin Yan, and many people also pointed fingers!
"Hey, who is that, who dares to blatantly walk with the beautiful and pure Princess Tanyue, it's really a bad scenery!"
"He's a celebrity, don't you know, at yesterday's Qingwu Festival, he was in the limelight and snatched most of the prizes, including the token for dancing with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and also got a fief rewarded by the royal family!"
"Is he worthy of dancing with Her Royal Highness the princess like that, what a toad wants to eat swan meat!"
"Who says no, believe it or not, don't look at him to come out on top, but if you want to dance with Princess Tanyue, you really have to face a lot of challenges, it is said that there are already many people who are eager to challenge him in public!"
"That's really exciting, I hope to put on a good show!" ......
Sure enough, just as people were expecting them, a handsome young man suddenly jumped out of the crowd and shouted at Lin Yan: "Despicable guy, you don't deserve to come here, get out!"
