However, it was said that Li Ran got on the official sedan chair and drove all the way to the Shenwu Gate in the south of the imperial city.

According to the Great Xuanzu system, before the newly promoted "quasi-monarch squire" enters the palace, they all need to worship the only god of the Xiao family's royal family, "Qingluan Ancestral God", under the witness of the prime minister, Taichang Temple, Hanlin Academy, and officials of the Ministry of Rites.

If there are more than 30 people in the court, the princess must also be present in person.

If Li Ran is not mistaken, there are a total of thirty-seven quasi-monarchs and servants who have entered the palace this time, including him, that is to say, after half a pillar of incense, he will be able to see his nemesis - the little demon king Xiao Wan'er!

It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided.

He shook his head, his mood at the moment was really a little apprehensive.

It stands to reason that a stunningly beautiful man like him should be very confident in every woman.

The key is that Xiao Wan'er, this girl is not a normal woman.

Not only why, but he suddenly thought of someone.

Xiao Liuyan.

I don't know what happened to this girl, at this moment, I really miss that night, the warmth in the cabin.

is also a princess, why is the difference so big?

Li Ran lifted the sedan curtain and looked at the sky speechlessly.

"Wow!"

As soon as he appeared, among the girls in the imperial capital who were watching on both sides of the street, a scream suddenly aroused, and Li Ran was so frightened that he quickly retracted his head.

"Ran'er, Ran'er!"

The voice of his father Li Daoguang faintly came to his ears.

"Dad, why are you ......?"

Li Ran poked his head out and saw his father riding the only little thin horse in the house and leaning over.

Of course, he knew that Li Daoguang no longer belonged to the Ministry of Rites, and this worship ceremony could only be observed from the periphery of the square as a common person.

"Son, dad forgot to tell you before, this time...... This worship is your chance!" Li Daoguang said breathlessly.

"Opportunity?

Li Ran frowned, he couldn't help but think of the top-secret information his father said before entering the palace last time.

Well, it's a top secret!

"In the past worship of the gods, the imperial court will invite the Xiao family Zong's "holy stone", this sacred stone is wonderful, can perceive the talent of the world, peep into the people's mind, in order to prevent the people who harbor evil intentions, mixed into the royal family, therefore, the imperial court often requires the quasi-monarch to improvise a poem to pass the test of the holy stone. ”

Speaking of this, Li Daoguang lowered his voice and said: "The most important thing is that later, several princesses will also come to the scene in person, so this test, to a large extent, determines the first impression of the fourth princess of Her Royal Highness!"

"So....... what do you mean, Dad?" Li Ran smiled bitterly.

"Silly boy, didn't my father tell you his intentions last night, as long as you go home safely! Your brother you have also seen it, he is better than you, and it is enough to have him in the affairs of the glory of the ancestors, you come back to be your eldest young master, your mother and I will be satisfied!"

Li Daoguang said extremely vaguely.

The implication is that he has completely given up the idea of letting Li Ran become a gentleman in his heart.

"Dad, you misunderstood me, and even more so Xiao Wan'er. Li Ran shook his head: "First of all, accept the reality, your son is a rude and unwritten straw bag, you don't need to deliberately release water, I already have enough water." ”

"Secondly, Xiao Wan'er herself is a stubborn girl who doesn't learn and has no skills, I want to behave like an illiterate, she may still feel the same smell!"

"Shhhhh ”

"Okay, Dad, go back and rest, take care of my mother, I know what to do. ”

Li Ran rolled his eyes, and then closed the sedan curtain.

After a stick of incense, the official sedan chair finally stopped, and thunderous cheers came from all around.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ran walked down with the support of a eunuch.

No way.

So many people!?

Under Li Ran's stunned gaze, the entire square in front of the Shenwu Gate was already crowded with people, like ants, black and oppressive, I am afraid that half of the subjects of the imperial capital have gathered here.

Hundreds of forbidden soldiers and guards wearing the armor of the Fire Phoenix Royal lined up on both sides to maintain order.

Obediently, they are all martial artists with internal strength cultivation! The strength is at least around the second grade!

What is the concept of a second-rank martial artist?

It is about the level of the hall master, incense master of the general gang, and the dart master in the dart game.

The empire is so strong, who dares to fight the four seas?

Li Ran couldn't help but think of Xiao Liuyan again.

If there were mobile phones in this world, he would just want to send a text message to the latter now: "Don't rebel against the old sister, I'll be a little white face to raise you!"

Subsequently, Li Ran, escorted by a column of guards, walked through the honor guard phalanx and walked into the center of the square.

Today, the scorching sun is shining, and the imperial court has placed a few sunshade umbrellas for this group of young men with fine skin and tender meat, Li Ran raised his eyes and looked, at this time, several princesses and some important officials have not arrived, but there are already more than 20 new quasi-monarchs waiting here, and he is still relatively late.

In a group of sons and brothers who are as rich as jade, Li Ran saw at a glance Ma Wenjie, whose painting style was incompatible.

Although he is very dissatisfied with his father Ma Feng, but one yard to one yard, Ma Wenjie, this kid, is indeed simple and kind.

Because, eyes can't deceive people.

Like now.

At this moment, the second son of the soldier was holding the watermelon in both hands, nibbling heartily, without paying any attention to the eyes of the surrounding subjects.

"Applejack. Li Ran walked over.

"Hmph!" Ma Wenjie saw him, the kid pouted his fat mouth, and turned his head arrogantly!

"You kid is very brave, this attitude towards your brother Ran, huh?" Li Ran walked over with a smile and pinched Ma Wenjie's fleshy face.

"I heard it that night. Ma Wenjie lowered his head and muttered in his mouth, looking very sad.

"What did you hear?" Li Ran was stunned, thinking, this kid wouldn't know Xiao Liuyan's true identity, right?

"Although I passed out that night, I did hear Xiaoxiao's voice......

Ma Wenjie's lips pursed: "But after I woke up, you were gone, and Xiaoxiao was not there, so I knew what happened......"

Li Ran let out an "ah" and did not speak.

The little fat man swallowed the last mouthful of watermelon, and tears flowed out: "All along, you all think I'm stupid, but I know, I know......! From childhood to adulthood, the little sisters I have taken a fancy to, including the fairy sisters in calligraphy and painting, only like you alone!"

Hearing this, Li Ran also sighed, this is the sorrow of the fat house, although he is sympathetic, what can he do?

It's not his fault.

"I'm sorry. Li Ran thought about it, and said seriously.

"You don't have to be sorry, I, Applejack, have a grudge, and it's not your fault. Ma Wenjie looked deeply aware of righteousness, and his expression was a little tragic:

"Brothers, promise me, see her again in the future, be kind to her, don't force her to do things you don't like, and you, as a man, should try to satisfy her ......"

Ma Wenjie gritted his teeth and said.

"Damn! so you ......."

Li Ran's eyes widened, at this moment, he only felt that Ma Wenjie's fat face was so green that people couldn't open their eyes!

"Yes, every time you think I'm drunk, secretly on the side...... Hey, actually...... In fact, I know that although I am not drunk, my heart is numb, and my tears are flowing into my stomach. Ma Wenjie said with his hands on his face.

Hearing this, Li Ran looked embarrassed, and goosebumps rose!

What the hell is this?

Husband の目criminal?

Does this little fat man have some mental illness?

"Forget it, Wen Jie, it's all over, I promise you, I won't have anything to do with Liu Xiaoxiao. ”

Li Ran said with his arm on his thick shoulders.

He said this very strictly, I don't have anything to do with Liu Xiaoxiao, I can have a relationship with Xiao Liuyan!

"You're right, it's all over. Ma Wenjie's face suddenly changed, and the corners of his mouth showed a foolish smile: "Now I have a new little sister, hehe, this time, you can't rob me anymore!"

"Uh-huh?"

Li Ran was stunned for a moment, and then there was a cheer from the whole square, he looked along Ma Wenjie's line of sight, and saw that at the Shenwu Gate, two columns of majestic and mighty royal cavalry lined up, and the one at the forefront was actually a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl!

I saw her delicate facial features, beautiful appearance, fair melon seed face, a pair of good-looking sword eyebrows, adding a bit of manly heroism to her, at this moment, she was wearing a fiery red light armor, spurring the horse to come, a long hair flying in the wind, heroic posture!

In the next second, Li Ran recognized the identity of the other party.

That's right, it can only be a spicy woman.

Second princess, Xiao Qingxue!

"It's so beautiful, Sister Fairy is so beautiful, Applejack wants to hug ......"

At this moment, Ma Wenjie's saliva next to him overflowed, and he completely entered a dream state, where do you remember Liu Xiaoxiao!

"I'm sorry Wenjie, I'm afraid...... Maybe...... Will be sorry for you again......"

Looking at the little fat man who was drooling all over the place in front of him, a certain young man said to himself with a look of self-blame.
