On a day off with fine weather and warm winds, the selection of disciples participating in the Four Nations Competition was held under the expectation of many disciples of Lanshan College.

On this day, Lanshan Academy was very lively, in addition to the disciples of Ling Ze's class, there were also male and female disciples without spiritual roots in the Nine Heavens class, and many disciples came to watch the battle.

Since Cao Lan was discovered because of her favorite Li Shu, she rarely went out except for going to the hall, and she didn't plan to go to the academy to join in the fun this day, but Li Yuerong went to Cao's mansion in person early in the morning and drove her all the way to Lanshan College.

When the two arrived at the shooting field, the game was about to begin.

"Fortunately, it's not too late," Li Yuerong smiled and glanced at the competition platform in the distance, and walked forward with Cao Lan in her arms, "Lan'er, I said you, you should go out for a walk more, it's easy to get stuffy when you're always stuffy in the house." ”

Cao Lan tugged at the corners of her mouth lightly, and a touch of loss flashed in her eyes.

First there was the matter of Xufu, and then she went to the palace to pay New Year's greetings and was ridiculed by Concubine Shu in public, and now the nobles in the noble circle as long as they see her, they all point fingers, and she doesn't want to come out to meet people at all.

I just hope that time flies so that everyone can forget about those things.

Today, Li Yuerong personally went to Cao's Mansion to find her, which made her feel a little flattered, and she followed her to the academy with the possibility of being ridiculed.

"Yuerong, you really don't blame me?"

Mo said that Li Yuerong was a sister in her house, and after learning that she actually liked Li Shu, she couldn't help but laugh at her in private.

The forces behind Li Shu are hostile to their Cao Mansion, and as the daughter of Cao Mansion, she has such a thought, which is extremely stupid.

Li Yuerong knew what she meant, hugged her affectionately, and said with a smile, "Lan'er, I don't like to hear you say this." We are good sisters, how can we say such a life? ”

"I remember the day of the San Lang Banquet," Li Yuerong had a teasing smile on the corner of her mouth, "Lan'er, you won the note of the second prince, do you remember?" ”

How could Cao Lan not remember?

She still remembered that her heart was beating wildly at that time, and she couldn't wait to find Li Shu right away.

Being able to draw each other's names at the event of both Depot, isn't this a marriage appointed by God?

Even Ouyang Cen is married to Cheng Lanyuan, doesn't this prove something?

Every time she dreams back at midnight, she regrets why she had so many worries and missed the opportunity.

Li Yuerong saw Cao Lan's immersion in thoughts, so she said to herself, "If you knew that Lan'er liked the second emperor brother, you would definitely be encouraged to look for him at that time." Maybe you'll both get the treasure, and that's a good time to be a good couple. ”

When these words came to Cao Lan's heart, she looked at Li Yuerong with gratitude in her eyes, and couldn't help but speak, "Yuerong, I ...... with the second prince, you know, we are impossible at all, it's just my wishful thinking." ”

"Lan'er, don't say that," Li Yuerong was glad that Cao Lan finally had a sign of honesty, striking while the iron was hot, "Emotional things are involuntary, if you want to blame the old Yue, don't you say?" ”

Cao Lan was stunned.

"However," Li Yuerong said again, "I think it's not impossible for Lan'er and the second emperor brother." ”

Cao Lan was stunned at first, and then her eyes lit up slightly, "Yuerong, what do you mean by this?" ”

Li Yuerong saw that Cao Lan was so urgent, and secretly said in her heart that her mother and concubine were really like gods.

She came to find Cao Lan today, and it was really the instruction of Concubine Liang.

Concubine Liang said that even if so many things happened, Cao Lan was still afraid of Li Shu.

That's true.

The undercurrent in the court is surging, the waves are weird, if Cao Lan really marries the second prince's mansion, it may not be unfavorable to the Cao Mansion.

During the New Year's greetings, Concubine Shugui lost Cao Lan's face in public, and the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was definitely not harmonious.

With Cao Lan's chess piece in the Second Prince's Mansion, there may be a day when it can be useful.

Even if you really don't need it, it's just a chess piece, just throw it away.

Otherwise, with Cao Lan's admiration for Li Shu's rumors, she would not have played a role in the Cao Mansion faction.

It's better to put it to good use.

"Fathers have their position," Li Yuerong sighed, "I can't understand the mood of our children, but there is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts, Lan'er, you have to remember that I will always be on your side to support you and help you." ”

Cao Lan shook Li Yuerong's hand with emotion, her eyes were slightly red, "Yuerong, thank you." ”

At this time, the disciples who participated in the competition, at the urging of the Master, went to the competition platform separately.

The competition was divided into four venues, corresponding to four events: magic, alchemy, formation, and talisman.

Xu Jinglin and Li Chu jumped onto the talisman competition platform.

There were seven disciples who participated in the talisman competition, and the two of them were the favorites to win the event.

is a rare handsome man and beautiful woman, and after both came on stage, the audience shouted and booed.

Xu Jinglin was smiling, generous and unashamed.

"Li Chu, do you guess that the two of us were selected to participate in the Four Nations Competition today?" Her red lips opened slightly, and her voice was not loud, which happened to fall into Li Chu's ears beside her.

Li Chu smiled calmly and did not respond.

Xu Jinglin said again, "Why don't we make another bet?" I'm betting on the two of us to win the top two, do you bet or not? ”

Li Chu couldn't help but smile and glanced at her, "Don't bet." ”

"Oh?" Xu Jinglin smiled slightly, "Don't you dare to bet with me today?" Why is that? ”

"I know that I will lose, so I naturally don't gamble." Li Chu shrugged, "Those who know the times are Junjie." ”

Xu Jinglin was so amused that the corners of her mouth rose even more, and her eyes looked at Li Chu brightly, "I only found out today that you are a person who knows the times." ”

"Lan'er, look over there." Li Yuerong, who took in the expressions of Xu Jinglin and Li Chu on the stage, took Cao Lan and walked a few steps faster, "You see Xu Jinglin on stage, she seems to be very happy, and I don't know why?" ”

Speaking of Xu Jinglin, Cao Lan was unhappy and reluctantly looked away.

After looking at it for a moment, he couldn't help frowning.

Xu Jinglin's gentle eyes when she looked at Li Chu were ......

Cao Lan's expression froze, staring suspiciously at Xu Jinglin's smiling appearance, thoughtful.

"Xu Jinglin is very talented in talismans?" Li Yuerong didn't seem to notice Cao Lan's abnormality, "She actually went to the competition." ”

"I heard that the Fourth Emperor Brother is proficient in talismans," she said again, "I don't think he and Xu Jinglin are quite familiar, and the two of them talk and laugh." ”

"They are classmates in the same class," Cao Lan replied casually as she thought about things absentmindedly, "and there are familiarities." ”

Could it be Li Chu that Xu Jinglin likes? That's why you turned a blind eye to her repeated overtures?

Cao Lan's heart was pounding violently by this thought, and bursts of unknown secret joy surged into her heart.

She stared straight at Xu Jinglin, revealing her first hearty smile today.

And Li Yuerong on the side took in her expression and smiled contentedly.
