Her big eyes were full of confident light, and she stood there like a natural glow, dazzling.

Chu Mingyang was smiling at it, and Chu Qingning was even waving her little fist and kept shouting for her in Chu Linyuan's ear, like a die-hard fan.

"Good! The girl has courage! ”

Chu Zhen laughed twice, and his appreciation for Ji Yutong also rose instantly.

Looking at Yang Mu, who was still kneeling next to him, he lowered his face again, "Yang Aiqing, like this, are you still satisfied?" ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the emperor is wise!"

Yang Mu is really old-fashioned, at this time, he is stiff in his neck, Ji Yutong really doesn't know how a person with such a character survives in the turbulent court.

"Hmph" Chu Zhen still looked at him and snorted very unhappily, "According to what Yang Aiqing said before, you seem to have the best candidate for the first talented woman in your heart?" ”

Yang Mu didn't answer immediately, but first glanced vaguely in the direction where Ji Wanyun was.

Seeing that she didn't have any particularly disgusted reaction, he bowed his head and kowtowed, "The minister thinks that Ji Wanyun, the concubine of the Marquis of Ning'an, is more suitable, after all, her talent is known to everyone." ”

"Really?"

Chu Zhen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ji Wanyun, and then at Ji Yutong, who was obviously a person in the bureau but looked calm, "Girl, what do you think?" ”

Ji Wanyun is basically recognized as a peerless beauty and talent, for so many years, no one has been surpassing, this Ji Yutong suddenly came out like this, Chu Zhen came back to his senses, and naturally thought of this.

Her opponent is indeed very strong......

"No problem, since the courtier has already said that she can win anyone, then it is anyone, please rest assured that the emperor will not let you down."

Ji Yutong smiled and saluted, his attitude could be described as no one in his eyes.

Originally, there were people who were worried about her because of her talent for songs and music, but now, everyone thinks she is too pampered and arrogant.

After all, she is facing the best woman in the country, her own sister Ji Wanyun!

"Hahaha, girl, you really have such an appetite for me!" Chu Zhen laughed a few times, and was almost so excited that he ran down to pat the table and took her hand to praise her.

He happily took a big sip of wine, and then looked at Ji Wanyun again.

"In that case, Ji Wanyun, do you want to challenge this girl? I promise you that once the winner is decided, the winner will be the first talented woman in my Chixiao Kingdom for the rest of her life, and she will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a mansion in the city. ”

As he spoke, Chu Zhen looked at Ji Yutong with a kind smile, "Moreover, Su Guo, you have a sweetheart, just tell me that I have full authority to help you make the decision, how about it?" ”

Your Majesty, this is ......

Specifically for Ji Yutong?

Ji Wanyun's right hand clenched, jealousy took root from the bottom of her heart, and grew like a weed getting fertilizer.

She almost couldn't control the gentle and virtuous expression on her face, and her teeth creaked.

Why!?

Why!!

A little concubine with a low status and a humble background, how can the emperor be so favored and partial?!

She is not reconciled!

Ji Wanyun's teeth itched, and she finally couldn't help but walk out, deliberately walked to Ji Yutong's side, and bowed to the emperor with standard and decent movements.

"Emperor Xie, the courtiers will definitely live up to expectations."

Although she knew that the emperor's favorability towards Ji Yutong had completely surpassed that of herself, Ji Wanyun still did not give up.

She still thinks that as long as she appears in the same place as Ji Yutong more often, with a comparison of appearance, figure, temperament and other aspects, the emperor and everyone can always see clearly who is the best.

But she was wrong, Chu Zhen only nodded symbolically at her appearance, "Okay, okay, then I will set this day in half a month, how about the two of you enter the palace together to compete, and when the time comes, I will invite some special people to cheer up, don't let me down, huh?" ”

"Yes, the courtiers will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations."

Ji Yutong and Ji Wanyun knelt down at the same time and saluted, and then they retreated together, ending the inexplicable burning gunsmoke.

As soon as she returned to her seat, Ji Yutong pulled the cloak over and put it on, after all, this weather is still a little cold, just put X in place, she doesn't want to catch a cold.

Chu Qingning was already very excited, and as soon as Ji Yutong's ass sat down, she came to the front and grabbed Ji Yutong's hand excitedly.

"Sister Tong'er, you were really amazing just now, those two songs are so good, you tell me, do you have a lot of other songs besides those two songs?"

She grabbed Ji Yutong's left hand and dangled left and right, as cute as a child pestering adults to ask for candy.

Before Ji Yutong could say anything, Chu Qingning said strangely, "By the way, Sister Tong'er, everyone said that you were disfigured, but why didn't I see it now?" Your face looks like ......"

She reached out and touched her face, but suddenly she touched something slippery.

Ji Yutong saw that she was puzzled, and there were always people around her staring at her face and whispering, so she simply walked to the adjacent table and grabbed the wine jug on Chu Linyuan's table.

"War King, borrow your wine and pay it back to you in a while~"

Ji Yutong was about to sit back with the wine jug, but the wrist holding the wine jug was suddenly caught.

Chu Linyuan looked at her dissatisfied, "The wine jug can't leave the table at the banquet, if you have anything to use, use it here before leaving." ”

"Are you sure?" The expression on Ji Yutong's face became a little weird, "I'm going to do something unsightly, if I use it here, there will be many people who will sigh more than ......."

After listening, Chu Linyuan did not move like a mountain, and still said the same cold sentence, "If you want to use it, you can use it here before leaving, if you don't use it, you will put down the wine jug." ”

"Use, use, I can't use it? It's just a pot of wine, what can't leave the table, where are there so many rules, it's clear that you're too stingy, tsk......"

Ji Yutong couldn't resist this stubborn donkey, so he simply didn't leave and sat directly next to him.

She poured the wine from the flask on her face, rubbing it with her hands, and stabbing her belly with a big sting.

Hmph, if it weren't for the lack of wine at the women's table, would she still come and borrow it from him?

If they weren't too far away from that handsome guy King Jing, with a whole stage in between, would she give up the opportunity to flirt with him and be him?

Tut......

Rubbing and rubbing, the things on Ji Yutong's face slowly melted, and she wiped it clean with a handkerchief.

Chu Qingning watched from the side as she rubbed off a layer of creamy stuff from her face, revealing the rumored half of her disfigured face that was pitted and disgusted to the point of having nightmares.

"Sister Hitomi...... Your face ......"

She covered her mouth, as if she was a little shocked, a little incredulous, and a little distressed.

Ji Yutong's face looks like what the outside world says, it is really a yin and yang face, one side is as ugly as a ghost, the scars are pitted, like being crawled by maggots, and the evil ghosts are disgusted when they see it.

On the other hand, her skin is like congealed fat, her willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, her lips and nose are beautiful, smart and beautiful, just as shocking as when she first saw her lift the veil, so beautiful that it was thrilling and suffocating.

Half angel, half devil, why did such a thing happen to her?

Chu Qingning looked at Ji Yutong and didn't dare to speak, as if he was afraid that he would hurt her if he said the wrong thing.

However, Ji Yutong herself is more open-minded than anyone else, and in the face of the sighs and disgusting nausea sounds around her, she didn't hear it at all.

"County Lord, you don't have to be shocked and afraid, I used something to cover the scar on my face before, and now this is my true appearance now, do you regret making friends with me?"

She touched the scar that was twisted and tangled on her side, and said with some emotion, "County Lord, don't worry, no matter what you think, I have no opinion, anyway, the two of us got along very happily today~"

"No, I don't regret it, Sister Hitomi, how did you get such a big scar on your face? Why is this happening? I don't regret making friends with you at all, really! ”

Chu Qingning ran to her side a little excitedly, and looked at Ji Yutong's face up close, her eyes were slowly red.

Ji Yutong was a little shocked, "County Lord, don't cry...... It's been many years since I've been here, and it doesn't hurt, don't cry......"

Why cry?

Ji Yutong only made friends with a rude county lord like her because she heard Bang Zhu say that she was very favored by the war king, and she wanted to get close to the war king.

Chu Qingning, shouldn't he be very rude and willful, and no one will look down on him?

Do you really think of her as a friend?

Looking around, Ji Yutong suddenly realized that there were actually many princesses and county lords in the palace, but only Chu Qingning was sitting alone, and none of those people had come to talk to her until now.

It's as if Chu Qingning is completely isolated......

Inexplicably, Ji Yutong felt that he was a bit of a jerk, and he had a strong sense of guilt for deceiving the feelings of an innocent girl......

"Sister Hitomi, don't worry, I won't cry, I'm just sad at the thought of you being so badly injured when you were very young......"

It's only been a day, and after the first time I saw him, the barbaric county lord who scolded people indiscriminately was so true to his temperament, Ji Yutong deeply regretted it.

She shouldn't have provoked such an innocent and pure person......

"It's okay, it's all over, the county lord doesn't have to worry too much."

Ji Yutong felt very guilty, a thief like her, who lives by stealing and deceiving people all day long, even if someone sealed a god word in front of the stealing word, she still couldn't escape a stealing word.

She is just a thief who only does things that harm others and is self-interested, and she is ruthless and cold, and it is better to have less contact with this kind of person in the future......

Thinking of this, Ji Yutong put down the wine jug, thanked Chu Linyuan perfunctorily, and lied to the two of them that he was a little bored and panicked, and he urinated directly.

After all, the banquet is relatively boring, as long as the solemn and serious ceremonies at the front are passed, everyone can enter and exit freely in the super performance link at the back.

So Ji Yutong's departure didn't have much effect, and after she slipped out, she began to wander around, thinking about when to go to the Battle King's Mansion and how to find the next fragment in the future.

Before she knew it, she had walked through the Imperial Garden and into the Palace.

And faintly, she felt that the piece of shard she was wearing on her chest seemed to be starting to react again, although compared to Chu Linyuan's piece, this time the induction was relatively weak, but she could still sense it clearly.

Taking out the fragment, Ji Yutong clearly saw that the fragment was trembling slightly.

She clenched the shard and was about to look in that direction, when suddenly a voice came from behind her.

"Hey, Yin-Yang Girl, what are you doing here?"
