With a bang, the long sword fell to the ground, and Han Xun's face was like ashes.

As if he didn't see him admit defeat, Nalan Ye was full of coldness, and with just a slight hand, the clenched long sword was facing again. As soon as he sent it before, Han Xun screamed in pain. He only said expressionlessly: "Can you admit defeat?" ”

Must throw in the towel!

If he doesn't admit defeat again, I'm afraid that his life will be sent here. At this time, Han Xun couldn't afford to lose face, gritted his teeth and snorted, "Admit it...... Admit defeat, I admit defeat......"

Hmm-the long sword was drawn out, bringing out a splash of blood in mid-air, Nalan Ye put away his sword and clenched his fists, and the corners of his lips hooked lightly: "Accept." ”

The sharp pain at the wound almost made Han Xun unstable, and he didn't care about everything in front of him, Han Xun quickly clicked the acupoints on his body, turned around and strode down the stage. The lonely and gray back was lying down, heavy and depressing.

After being stunned for a moment, thunderous applause rang out at the scene, not only the surrounding people, but also many officials in Xichu, all of whom watched thrilling and exciting.

Gonggong Li's face turned red with excitement, and he rushed to the stage with a sharp voice and said: "The contest between the Emperor of Beiyue and the King of Chu, the winner, His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" ”

Emperor Xichu nodded happily, and kept brushing his long beard and praised: "Yes, yes, I will say, as long as Ziqing plays, he will definitely win, and he will live up to my hopes." ”

"Your Majesty." Song Guifei also smiled: "The king of Chu is the god of war of our Western Chu, even if he is Han Xun, the emperor of Beiyue, he is not his opponent." No wonder the King of Chu has resigned from the military for so many years, but the generals and soldiers in the army still listen to his orders, which is really worthy of the King of Chu. ”

Emperor Xichu's face changed, and he hummed in a deep voice, and Song Guifei suddenly became like this, and hurriedly confessed: "The concubine lost her words, Your Majesty forgives you." The concubine means that even if the king of Chu is sick, he will go all out, which shows his loyalty. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Xichu's face eased a lot, and he was really happy in his heart, so he didn't pursue it.

At this point, the men's martial arts competition is over, and the next turn is the women's literary exam. After Gonggong Li said on stage, let the ladies who got the list of participants prepare well and start immediately.

Soon, there was a commotion in the viewing area below, and countless young women exchanged their heads and talked about it, and some of them became even more nervous, not knowing how they would perform. Some young men looked curiously to know who would be the first to take the stage.

"Qingluan, it'll be you in a while." Nalan Ye, who had just finished the competition, was calm and looked at Luo Qingluan with concern.

After eating another date and taking another sip of tea, Luo Qingluan wiped the corners of his mouth and said with satisfaction: "Well, don't worry." Regarding this literary exam, in fact, she didn't want to participate in it before, but two days ago, Queen Wang actually sent someone to the Chu Palace, asking her if she was ready to play the song to be played, and Luo Qingluan knew that she was afraid that she would not be able to shirk it.

However, at that time, she was nervous about Nalan Ye's body, and she didn't think too much, and only said to the eunuch that she was ready, so that Queen Wang could rest assured. Later, she couldn't, so it seemed that she could only participate.

But in Luo Qingluan's heart, winning or losing is not too interesting, she likes to talk about it, since Queen Wang asked for it, she is not good at saving face, just play a song. According to her piano skills, even if she can't win the first place, she won't be the last, and she is just right in the middle.

"What, you don't want to take first place?" Seeing Luo Qingluan's indifference, Nalan Ye was a little curious.

He, a little woman, has always been arrogant, although she is calm and indisputable on the surface, but he knows her best. But she didn't expect that this time she was in the limelight in front of everyone, and she was not interested at all.

Luo Qingluan glanced at the front obliquely, and said lightly: "The tree is a big wind, don't you know?" ”

Just now she was looking at Nangong Wan'er.

At this time, Nangong Wan'er was staring at her and Nalan Ye, unable to take her eyes off it, although her expression was not malicilent, it was always uncomfortable to be stared at like this. Luo Qingluan knew that Nangong Wan'er liked Nalan Ye, so she naturally didn't want to show off in the literary exam and arouse the jealousy of this princess. More is better than less, she has this idle time, wouldn't it be good to earn more money?

What's more, in addition to Nangong Wan'er, there is also a Xiao Ningyu! Who knows if they'll come up with something to calculate when the time comes?

I didn't expect that marrying a man would be so popular, if it weren't for myself, Luo Qingluan would never agree. But now, married to her, Nalan Ye is also good to her, so let's leave it at that.

The palace people removed the weapon rack on the test table and replaced it with a curtain palace yarn suitable for women's competitions, and also decorated a one-person high vase on the stage, which inserted a few blooming begonia flowers, which had a unique atmosphere.

The first session of the essay exam began.

The first event in the women's category was dancing, which was something that everyone was used to and enjoyed.

There are far more women than men's groups participating in the competition, whether it is the daughters of Western Chu, or the princesses and ladies of other countries, etc., as envoys who come all the way to Dongqin, they will do their best to perform.

The first to play was the great Sile of Dongwanguo, a woman who was in her teens. Although she is not a famous girl, she attracted everyone's attention as soon as she came on the stage.

The graceful figure, the gestures are looking forward to the brilliance, the dancing steps, the light as if stepping on the snow, full of agility and freshness. The music sounded, danced, and the delicate makeup brought her a pleasing beauty, and everyone who watched couldn't take their eyes off it, and they couldn't even bear to exhale a little more.

The victory or defeat of the literary examination is different from that of the men's group, and it can be seen at a glance, and it needs to be judged by some highly respected people. Emperor Xichu, who was sitting in the viewing seat, was naturally one of the judges, and there were also leaders who came to participate in the parliament of the four countries this time, such as Xiao Yuqi, the crown prince of Dongwan, Lin Yixuan, the prince of Southern Wei, and Han Xun, the emperor of Beiyue.

In addition, there are also some prominent Confucians and scholars in Western Chu, who all have the right to vote. This is also the advantage of each host country, after all, in any case, the national selectors always follow people who are easy to favor their own country at critical times. But this has long been an unwritten rule, and everyone has acquiesced.

After the dance, the great musician of Dongwan Kingdom got 17 flower sticks from the 20 judges, which was not bad.

The flower sticks are made of the finest peach blossom paper, and are painted with delicate patterns and dazzling colors. If a judge likes a contestant's performance, he or she will cast a lotot in his hand.

She didn't study the women's literary exam before, because Luo Qingluan was not interested, and then she knew that it was actually voted by everyone. Looking at the flower sticks that Nalan Ye didn't throw out in her hand, she chuckled and said, "What, do you think that girl just now didn't dance well?" ”

Nalan Ye looked at her as if she was smiling, saying that she was jealous, but she was smiling and groaning, saying that she was not jealous, but this inquiring look was incomprehensible. He shook his head and smiled faintly: "I haven't even seen it, how do you know if she dances well?" ”

"Huh? You didn't even look at it? Luo Qingluan was a little surprised.

Holding her little spring onion-like hand, Nalan Ye stared at her with a pair of watery apricot eyes, and the corners of her lips raised a touch of arc: "It's too late to look at my little lady Qingluan, how can I go to see her?" ”

"You ......" didn't expect Nalan Ye to not forget to tease her, Luo Qingluan's face flew a flush, quickly retracted his hand, and slapped him, feigning annoyance: "Nalan Ye, you are one of the judges, so irresponsible?" ”

"Do you want me to look at her and not look at you?" Nalan stared at her at night.

"What to look at......" The eyes became hotter and hotter, and in broad daylight, Luo Qingluan couldn't stand it a little.

This man is really getting more and more presumptuous, and it's not that no one, he actually ...... Suddenly, Luo Qingluan's heart jumped, what was wrong with him, could he have gotten used to his ridicule and teasing and acquiesced? Otherwise, if there are people here who can't say these things, wouldn't anyone be fine?

She shouldn't have unknowingly had a crush on Nalan Ye, right?

Fortunately, soon, there was a second woman on the stage who went up to perform, Luo Qingluan took the opportunity to pay attention to the stage, ignoring Nalan Ye, he couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it, this little girl was shy again.

Since he didn't think about victory, Luo Qingluan's mood gradually relaxed and focused on the stage.

Although she didn't recognize the second contestant, it didn't prevent her from admiring her beautiful dancing, and she watched it quite seriously, and even Nalan Ye next to her didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Soon, the second participating girl got fifteen flower lots, and Nalan Ye still didn't vote.

When the third woman who went up to dance appeared, Luo Qingluan was obviously a little serious. As soon as her eyes froze, her body stopped a little, and Nalan Ye, who had been paying attention to her, didn't notice that her eyes moved, and she also looked at the stage.

"This is Bai Yixuan, the princess of Xuanji of the Southern Wei Kingdom, can Ziqing know her?" Nangong Yu, the second prince beside him, said with a smile.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Nalan Ye didn't speak, he didn't mind, and still said: "Although Bai Yixuan is a princess, she is just a righteous daughter adopted by the lord of the Southern Wei Kingdom, but looking at this appearance, she is indeed the best beauty, and she is worthy of being the first beauty in the Southern Wei Kingdom." ”

He nodded as he spoke: "I don't know how beautiful her dancing is, whether she will get the first place." ”

Raising his eyebrows, Luo Qingluan saw this and said, "What's the matter, the second prince has taken a fancy to her?" If you like it, why don't you ask to be the second princess? ”

Unexpectedly, Nangong Yu didn't deny it, but his face was a little embarrassed, and then he said: "What's the matter, I just heard from people, Princess Xuanji is deeply favored by the lord of the Southern Wei Dynasty, and I want her to marry Xichu far away, but I'm afraid it's impossible." ”

Hearing this, could it be that Nangong Yu really fell in love with Bai Yixuan?

Luo Qingluan couldn't help but be surprised, she didn't know when Nangong Yu was moved by Bai Yixuan, in terms of time, he hadn't seen Bai Yixuan a few times, right? I actually fell in love with it? When did the two meet, what did they say, and why didn't she know at all?

Thinking of Bai Yixuan's character, Luo Qingluan's face turned straight: "If this is the case, then it is the best, what I said just now was also a joke." Second prince, it's not me talking about it behind my back, this Princess Xuanji is indeed not suitable for you, you don't like it. If you have the heart, you should take advantage of the competition to see more other women, and if you meet someone you like, you can marry a princess. ”

After speaking, Luo Qingluan's eyes turned and fell on Nalan Ye.

But unfortunately, she found that Nalan Ye was staring at the stage, looking at it in a daze.
