Chapter 934: Well Deserved
Yikamian Zi is the county lord of the Northern Chen Kingdom, and has also won the title of "Grassland Heroine" many times in the Northern Chen Kingdom, of course, she will not take the title of "Daughter" of the Great Fengguo in her eyes. What's more, if the title of "Daughter's Daughter" of the Great Feudal State is obtained by a county lord of the Northern Chen Kingdom, it will not look good on the face of the Great Feudal Kingdom.
Originally, Lin Wan, Ning Wuwu and Wang Biyun didn't come in the morning, and Kapok didn't want to participate in the competition. However, Jin Ruoxin said that let her accompany Zhao Jing'er, and don't let her be bullied by others alone. Therefore, it can also be said that the purpose of Kapok Zi's participation in the competition is to help Zhao Jing'er, and now it is done.
After Gonggong Liu confirmed with the emperor and the empress dowager respectively, he came to the stage with two volumes of holy decrees in both hands, and announced loudly: "Fengtian carriers, the emperor edict said! It was Lin Ruichen of the southern suburbs who won the title of 'First Warrior' in the sixteenth year of the Yongsheng of the Great Feudal Kingdom!"
After reading it, he put away this holy decree and unfolded another one, and Liu Gonggong continued to preach: "It is Zhao Jing'er of the General Zhao's Mansion who won the title of 'Daughter' in the sixteenth year of the Yongsheng of the Great Feudal Kingdom!" Finally, he collected the two holy decrees respectively and sang loudly: "Please come to the stage of the two little heroes and thank you for the decree!"
Lin Ruichen was wearing an official uniform today, sitting in a precarious position with a serious expression, and sat in the stands opposite in a very low-key manner. Sitting with the soldiers of the southern suburbs battalion, it seemed that he was not excited to receive this title, but was a little worried.
Although Zhao Jing'er also sat on the sidelines honestly, her expression was serious and serious, her eyes were earnest, her face was flushed, and she was obviously very excited, and she was very concerned about this honor.
After Gonggong Liu finished announcing the holy decree, Lin Ruichen and Zhao Jing'er immediately got up and strode towards the high platform. The attitude is respectful, but neither humble nor arrogant, striding meteors, showing the demeanor of military generals.
The eyes of the crowd follow them, some envy, some rejoice, some jealous, and some resentful, but more than that, admiration and admiration.
Lin Ruichen and Zhao Jing'er stepped onto the high platform, walked in front of Zhou Changan, knelt down respectfully, and said in unison: "Thank you for the emperor's grace! Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
Zhou Changan looked at the young general and the heroic girl in front of him, smiled slightly, nodded, and said softly: "Flat!"
Lin Ruichen and Zhao Jing'er stood up, lowered their heads and eyes, and stood in an orderly manner, waiting for Zhou Changan's next words.
Zhou Changan looked at them with a smile and continued: "Ruichen, Old General Chen has always taken a fancy to you, and he has already recommended you to me. He said that when he retires, he hopes that you can replace him. I have watched you for a long time, and you have not disappointed us. Your performance yesterday was very good, and I saw the hope for the future of our Great Seal Kingdom, and you are a well-deserved 'First Warrior'!"
Lin Ruichen was happy in his heart, a smile appeared on his face, he clenched his fists, and said: "The emperor has won the award, and the last general will thank the emperor for his grace!"
Zhou Changan nodded, got up and walked in front of Lin Ruichen, took the holy decree from Gonggong Liu's hand, handed it to Lin Ruichen's hand with his own hands, and then patted him on the shoulder, showing the approval and affection of an elder to the younger junior.
Lin Ruichen knelt down again and thanked him. Then he got up, took half a step back, and stood aside respectfully.
Zhou Changan turned to look at Zhao Jing'er, he hadn't noticed this woman before. Although he knew that when Lu Qishan was going to marry her and Xing Han, he had asked Father-in-law Qi about Zhao Jing'er's situation, but he didn't take it to heart.
At that time, Father-in-law Qi said that the eldest lady of the Zhao family had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she couldn't do anything like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Except for hearing that she and Second Mrs. Zhao went to the Xing family's mansion a few days ago and injured Qin Lingru, I haven't heard any gossip about her on weekdays. She doesn't seem to be the kind of woman who likes to show her head and be competitive. It's just that it can be a bit simple-minded and short-tempered.
Zhou Changan couldn't help frowning after listening to Father-in-law Qi's words, feeling that such a woman was not worthy of Xing Han. However, since Lu Qishan had already decided, he didn't say anything, anyway, Zhao Jing'er is also Zhao Fengwen's daughter, so she shouldn't be far behind.
However, when he saw it today, Zhou Changan felt that he might have overlooked something, maybe Lu Qishan had also ignored something important. The woman in front of her, although her appearance is not very outstanding, she does not have the feminine color of a woman, but the heroism of a woman's daughter is very prominent in her, and she has a very special charm.
Zhou Changan nodded slightly, took the other volume of holy decrees in Gonggong Liu's hand, slowly spoke, and said lovingly: "Zhao Jing'er, I remember that when you were a child, you were like a boy, following your elder brothers to study, ride horses, and shoot arrows. Unexpectedly, when she grew up, she didn't let her eyebrows go, and she deserved the title of this 'women's daughter'. As he spoke, he handed the holy decree to Zhao Jing'er's hand.
Zhao Jing'er was excited, knelt down and received the order with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Xie, thank the emperor for Longen!"
Zhou Changan laughed and said, "Flatten! You all go down!" After speaking, he turned around and sat down on his throne.
Zhao Jing'er got up, and together with Lin Ruichen, saluted Zhou Changan and retired.
Zhou Changan smiled and nodded, only to see that Zhao Jing'er had turned around and strode towards the stage. But Lin Ruichen knelt down again and kowtowed to Zhou Changan, as if he had something to say.
Zhao Jing'er walked to the stage, only to look back, and saw that Lin Ruichen did not come down, she was a little puzzled, but she saw Lin Wan pulling Ning Wuwu and running towards her.
When Lin Wan passed by Zhao Jing'er's side, she said in a low voice: "Cousin Jing, please go and find my father, just say that my brother has something important and needs his help." ”
After speaking, he didn't linger, and pulled Ning Wuwu to the high platform, just in time to see Lin Ruichen kneeling straight in front of Zhou Changan, kowtowing respectfully.
Before Lin Ruichen went to the high platform, he glanced back at Lin Wan and Ning Wuwu, who were resting on the sidelines, and their eyes were meaningful.
Lin Wan didn't see what he meant at first, frowned and asked Ning Wuwu, "Sister Wuwu, what does this mean, brother?"
Ning Wuwu lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and smiled, and did not answer Lin Wan's question.
Lin Wan originally thought it was just some little secret between the two of them, but he didn't take it to heart, snorted lightly, lowered his voice, and said, "The two of you deliberately raised eyebrows, are you afraid that others won't be able to see the relationship between you?"
Ning Wuwu still didn't answer, but raised his eyes to look at Zhou Tianzheng, the third prince on the other side of the stage, only to see that the person was also looking at him, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and lowered his eyes worriedly.
And when Lin Wan saw that after Lin Ruichen thanked her, she did not leave, but kept standing on the stage, her eyes were firm and worried, she finally understood Lin Ruichen's purpose.
