Even if the eighth prince doesn't want to marry Li Jing'er again, but going into battle is a matter of face, and he is also a face-saving person, how could he deliberately lose so badly?

He said bitterly in his heart: "It's that Qiu Pingyang, he is so powerful, haven't you seen a few people who were ousted by him before?" I'm going to fight him off, and I can't fight back at all, okay? ”

Qin Ran was suspicious, turned his head and glanced at the stage.

Qiu Pingyang is as his name suggests, his figure is like Pingyang, he is stiff and thick, as one of the players in today's competition, his appearance is really indecent.

"Who is this man?" Qin Ran was curious, "Is he so powerful?" ”

"He's the fourth's staff." Qi Xiao suddenly answered, and his eyebrows frowned slightly at the direction of the competition platform: "It does have some strength." ”

"What's the use of having strength, looking so ugly." Qin Ran felt sorry for Li Jing'er in his heart, thought about it and asked: "By the way, you said that he is the staff of King Wei, so if he wins the competition for a while, will he marry Li Jing'er, or will King Wei marry Li Jing'er?" ”

Qi Xiao never thought that she didn't even know this, she sighed twice in disgust, and looked away with an expression that she was too lazy to talk to her.

At this time, the king of Chu said: "Naturally, Qiu Pingyang married himself, and the competition has always paid attention to the rules, whoever wins the competition on stage will be the son-in-law." ”

However, whether Qiu Pingyang is a son-in-law or King Wei is a son-in-law, the result is not much different. can be favored by King Wei and let him come to power, Qiu Pingyang is definitely not just a simple staff, he must also be King Wei's henchman.

His henchman is a beauty, and he has the power behind the Prime Minister's Mansion, why not?

Qin Ran understood this time, turned his head and glanced at Qi Xiao, but he was still relieved: "At that moment, will you take the stage yourself, or will someone else take the stage for you?" ”

The corners of Qi Xiao's lips hooked slightly: "Guess." ”

Qin Ran: "......"

If she could guess, she'd ask a fart!

The half-day jousting soon came to an end.

Qiu Pingyang lived up to his strength level and held on all the way to the end from halftime to the end of the stage as a single person.

Seeing that the competition was about to end, but Qin Xiu hadn't shown up yet, Qin Ran didn't want to lose his trust, and he was worried that Li Jing'er would think too much in his heart, so he didn't continue to talk to Qi Xiao and the others, and hurried back to the stands in the women's area with Sprite.

As soon as I came back, I saw Li Jing'er looking depressed.

"Li Jing'er, are you okay?"

As soon as Qin Ran came back, Li Jing'er's maid couldn't wait to come forward and ask: "Miss Qin, is your eldest brother coming to participate in the competition today, this competition is almost over." ”

Qin Ran took a breath and glanced at Sprite.

Sprite hurriedly said: "Zhongyi went to the palace early in the morning to find someone, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

After Li Jing'er heard this, her face became even more sad.

On the competition platform, Qiu Pingyang stood there alone, it seemed that all the contestants who had signed up had finished the competition, and he was already winning, just waiting for the time to come back and bring back the beauty.

The more Qin Ran looked at it, the more indignant he became, and slowly walked to Li Jing'er's side, stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, with me, even if my eldest brother doesn't come, I won't let you marry that person." ”

Li Jing'er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pulled: "What are you going to do?" ”

Qin Ran's eyes showed a touch of cunning, and he only said two words: "Make trouble." ”

-

There was only one last pillar of incense left in the competition time, and the housekeeper of Xiangguo Mansion ordered someone to light a pillar of incense, and said that if the incense was exhausted and there were still no new players to sign up for the challenge, then Qiu Pingyang would be the final winner.

As soon as the housekeeper stepped down, Qin Ran came to power.

There was no shortage of princes and nobles at the scene, and as soon as she took the stage, the cheers in the stands continued.

"Miss Qin, don't you want to participate in the martial arts competition too?"

"That's not good, the Prime Minister is recruiting a son-in-law, not a daughter-in-law."

"Miss Qin, do you still want to hold a martial arts competition and choose a husband for yourself."

……

The voices of questioning and ridicule were endless, and Qin Ran only regarded it as a deaf ear and smiled.

After everyone's voices were quieter, she raised her head and swept around everyone.

"I'm not here to participate in the competition, I'm not here to pick a husband for myself, I'm here to feel sorry for everyone."

As soon as the words fell, someone present asked, "What do you regret, what do we have to regret?" ”

Qin Ran looked at the crowd making a speech: "Let me ask you a question. ”

"Ask, ask, as long as you can ask, we can answer."

The atmosphere was quite warm.

Qin Ran smiled: "Do you think Miss Li Jing'er is not beautiful?" ”

"Beautiful!"

"Isn't it beautiful?"

"Beautiful!"

"Do you want to marry her home?"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes." ”

Qin Ran breathed a sigh of relief: "I want to marry home, why are there so few people who come to the stage to compete?" ”

Everyone whispered: "It's not that you don't dare to go on stage, but you can't win if you do." ”

"I'm on, the key can't be beaten."

"Qiu Pingyang is too powerful, he can't afford to provoke him."

Qin Ran pointed to the young man who shouted the loudest in the audience: "Did you come up to fight?" ”

The man was suddenly named, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he shouted louder: "Don't dare to go up, I can't beat Qiu Pingyang." ”

Qin Ran became angry when he heard this: "You haven't come up to fight yet, how do you know that you can't beat it?" ”

The man wanted to explain something, but Qin Ran stopped looking at him, turned his head and walked to the other person: "What about you, have you fought on stage?" ”

The man shook his head: "Hit, after ten moves." ”

Qin Ran glared at the man with disgust: "Seeing that you are still full of confidence in speaking now, you must not have the heart to fight, right?" ”

The man choked for a moment and burst into laughter.

The atmosphere of the scene was aroused, but seeing that a third of the incense was burned, Qin Ran was a little anxious: "I think you just don't have a strong desire in your heart, otherwise how could you admit defeat so quickly?" There is still no one who wants to compete on stage, and it is still too late to sign up. ”

Everyone on the stage was eager to try, but when they thought that it was Qiu Pingyang standing on the stage at this moment, they had no confidence again.

In the stands, Qi Xiao and the others were also confused.

The Eighth Prince stared at the stage with a puzzled expression: "Seventh brother, what does Qin Ran want to do?" ”

Qi Xiao frowned slightly, thoughtful.

It's not hard to guess what Qin Ran wants to do, but he must not want to see Qiu Pingyang become the final winner, right?

Although he also kept a hand, he could let Liang Ji come to power and win the competition, so that in the future, the Prime Minister would be able to withdraw from the marriage directly without any worries, but Li Jing'er is his cousin after all, and it is not good to withdraw from the marriage.

Therefore, until the last moment, he was really unwilling to push Liang Ji out.

But now it's okay, Qin Ran has stepped forward in front of him, he wants to see how far she can go for Li Jing'er?
