Chapter 23: The Competition

"But you have already lived in the Dingwang Mansion, and you are still the daughter of the pavilion, are you so disregarding your identity?" The eldest princess asked loudly, her face turned slightly blue, as if she wanted to press her head Liu Nianru and Duan Bailan.

"Yes, although Miss Liu does not admit her feelings for this king, this king is pleased with her. Now that he already has a sweetheart, he never dares to disappoint his sweetheart and provoke the county lord again. Duan Bailan answered.

He glanced at Liu Nianru, as if he was smiling, as if he was angry.

Everyone in the audience was shocked, as if they didn't expect Duan Wang Ye to confess openly. Especially General Liu was the most excited, Duan Wangye was a quasi-son-in-law in his opinion.

Liu Nianru was also shocked, her mind turned, thinking that since Lu Gong was the prime minister's person, and Qingling was the prime minister's daughter, she thought that there were many entanglements of interests in this. Duan Bailan was so angry, could it be that she blamed her for ruining his plan?

She didn't know much about the chastity of ancient women, so she replied cooperatively: "The courtiers are reserved, I don't know that the prince also admires each other as much as I do, and the courtiers naturally like the prince."

After saying this, she glanced at Duan Bailan, and saw that his face had softened a lot, but she was thinking in her heart that she would have to pay something more for Duan Bailan when she turned around, and she would work herself to block the muzzle of the gun for her.

"Since that's the case, then Qingling, you should step aside, don't mess around." The emperor glared at Qing Ling, and his tone was much heavier, which was unquestionable.

The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief, and Qing Ling had to bow her head and retreat. Duan Bailan also retreated to his seat.

Seeing that the emperor no longer pursued it, Liu Nianru breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to Duan Bailan and said, "You still want me to block the gun for you, it really scared me just now, fortunately the emperor did not give me a marriage."

Duan Bailan poured Liu Nianru a glass of wine, and said as a matter of course: "How could he let me unite with General Liu, wouldn't it be more difficult to get rid of me?" Everything is just a way out, old fox. ”

Their voices were very quiet, but they were not afraid of others hearing them, especially after witnessing the embarrassing scene of the rejection of the county lord's marriage proposal, they all began to flatter and say how beautiful the Qingling county lord's dancing was, and they were not conspicuous.

But the emperor didn't intend to let her go like this, but took the initiative to mention it: "This daughter of the Liu family must have something extraordinary, which makes Duan Aiqing value her so much, Miss Liu might as well come out and show her talent."

"Back to the emperor, on the dancing posture of the courtiers and daughters on the talent, the courtiers are less than one-ten-thousandth of the county lord, this time I will not be ugly." Liu Nianru had just sat down for a long time, and when she heard the emperor mention herself again, she hurriedly got up and replied.

She was a little surprised, she was not famous, and when it came to others, the princes and nobles above the court did not know how many, why she was always shouted by the emperor.

"I heard that Miss Liu is training soldiers and horses for Duan Aiqing, and she can't lose to that man in terms of momentum, but is there such a thing?" The emperor raised the corners of his mouth, as if he admired her very much.

"It is true. But I'm not training for the prince, but for Da'an and the emperor. Liu Nianru secretly hated this person's trouble, and had to say something, so she had to pretend to be honest.

She knew that this matter could not be hidden from the emperor, and those spies alone should have already passed on the news.

She just didn't expect that the emperor would be so concerned about this matter.

"Hahaha, sure enough, she is worthy of being the daughter of the general, and I am going to have a female general." The emperor was overjoyed, and asked kindly: "Then would you like to show what kind of ability you have to teach those soldiers to believe in you."

These words couldn't help but make others look at Liu Nianru a few more times. They are all hot-blooded men, arrogant, and it is not easy for a woman to convince those soldiers.

It was not her intention to become the target of the public, she pondered for a while, and replied respectfully: "I just heard how my father trains soldiers on weekdays, and read some military books, and follow the rules.

General Liu was a little puzzled, he remembered that Nian Ru had never been interested in these things, and it was really strange that he was suddenly able to enter the barracks.

"Do you know martial arts?" The emperor asked quietly.

"The courtiers have lived in a deep house for a long time and have never practiced martial arts." Liu Nianru replied.

I only heard the sound of broken porcelain coming from the pavilion, and the emperor snorted a few times from his nose: "Liu Nianru, do you know that you have committed the crime of defrauding the king!" You know how to do martial arts, and you have shown it, so why did you deceive me? ”

Liu Nianru's heart was shocked, and she knelt down immediately, how many heads of state she had assassinated, all of them were majestic and strategic, but only this emperor could make her heart tremble.

"Your Majesty, Nianru has indeed never practiced martial arts." When General Liu heard the crime of bullying the king, he hurriedly stood up and said, his forehead was already sweating like rain.

Now that the emperor has already picked out what he said, he has made it clear. Then if she pretends to be continued, it will not be her Liu Nianru's style, but she said generously: "The courtiers don't know what the emperor means by martial arts, it's just that the courtiers like to exercise on weekdays, and their bodies are stronger than ordinary people."

Killer is to keep training and constantly challenge the limits of one's body. She knew that a person with strong martial arts like Duan Bailan had internal strength, but she had never learned it, and there was no internal strength in her body.

"The body is different from ordinary people? Would you like to show it? The emperor said undoubtedly.

Duan Bailan's brows were twisted together, the emperor's unrelenting attitude to Liu Nianru made him a little unhappy, and he just wanted to find an excuse to help Liu Nianru stop him. But I heard Liu Nianru say crisply: "Yes."

She didn't change her clothes, and walked straight to the guards beside the emperor, only they had swords in their hands, and that was to protect the emperor.

She took a few steps, like a ghost, and drew her sword from the guard's scabbard, and the guard had barely reacted when she had already reached the middle of the stage.

"Your Majesty, this-" The guard who was pulled out felt a little embarrassed, and he didn't know when this person arrived at his side, it was clearly a well-trained Ouchi guard, but he was approached by a woman, such a humiliation...... looked at the emperor hesitantly, hoping that the emperor could help him get the sword back.

But the emperor just raised his hand and asked him to watch Liu Nianru's performance quietly.

There was no sound of the piano, and no one said to start, Liu Nianru Wu performed a sword dance from the beginning.

Stepping on micro steps, as if drunk and drinking, the posture is soft and powerful, and the angle of a sword is often unexpected, making people wonder if this is really an action that people can do?

With the sound of the clanging sword, Liu Nianru danced faster, and the blue water sleeves flew up, like butterflies falling in the wind, but with a tenacious force.
