Chapter 1228: The First Four
His eyes swept over her body without a trace, and he smiled evilly, begging for comfort and satisfaction last night, but he didn't toss her less. In the past, she would sleep late the next morning before getting up, but it was hard to think that it was dawn today, so she got up with it.
Qiao Xiaoru was stunned at first, but when she came back to her senses, she couldn't help but feel hot on her face, she glanced at him fiercely, and twisted his waist hard, Lu Zhan laughed, and turned to leave.
When the two of them hugged each other, the maids and ladies had already avoided their eyes with interest, and naturally no one saw their eyebrows and small actions. Qiao Xiaoru still felt a little hot on his face, and stood for a moment, watching his back disappear from his sight, before turning back.
There will be two matches on this day, and the final battle will be played tomorrow morning, that is, the dust will settle in these two days.
The competition was held in the school field of the Imperial Forest Army, and on such an occasion, the female dependents avoided it, and Qiao Xiaoru could only wait in the house with peace of mind.
Sixteen people draw lots at will, two by two, and the eight who win will have another game in the afternoon, and four people will win today.
Tomorrow morning, there will be two consecutive competitions, four into two, two into one, a quick decision.
Lu Zhan came back at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and unsurprisingly, he was one of the four people who won.
Among the remaining three, one is Yun Zhen, who is almost inseparable from the four princes and is quite ambiguous.
One is Qi Sheng, from the eldest prince's maternal grandfather's Yongding Hou lineage, who had previously served as a general under the eldest prince's maternal grandfather, and was a descendant of the Li family. Naturally, he is also the person of the Great Prince.
There is also a person named Sima Yun, who was recommended by the Ministry of War, and it seems that all parties do not rely on it on the surface, but as for what it actually is, it is difficult to say.
Lu Zhan was able to enter the top four, which was really unexpected, after all, among all the testers, the worst was also a fifth-grade general, and he was the only one who did not have any position.
If it weren't for Emperor Yonghe's handpicking, he wouldn't even be qualified to participate in the competition.
And among these four people, who can win, everyone is a little unpredictable for a while.
In today's two competitions, it is clear that all four of them did not use their full strength.
Lu Zhan, who suffered a loss in the written test, also knew how to hide his clumsiness, and he did not expose all his capital during the martial arts test.
The eldest princess is very happy, it is already rare for Lu Zhan to enter the top four, even if she can't get the first place in the end, she will not be ridiculed and gossip behind her back.
She was worried that he would be knocked out in the first round.
Originally, the eldest princess planned to call Lu Zhan to her side in the evening, and the mother and son had dinner together, but after thinking about it, she gave up.
She thought a little sourly, maybe he would be more willing to have dinner with his daughter-in-law than his own mother than his daughter-in-law.
And she didn't want to see Qiao Xiaoru and didn't want to eat at the same table with her, so she dispelled this idea.
I only specially ordered the kitchen to make a few dishes and send them to Yihetang.
In Yihetang, there was jubilation, although the county king only entered the top four, but the top four is also very rare, even if he loses tomorrow, the county king can be regarded as showing his face in the capital, ranking on the top of the ranks.
The master's scenery, being a subordinate is to go out and have a little more dignity, and accompanying the master to other mansions to the banquet as a guest can also make people look up to a few points, which is naturally a great joy.
Qiao Xiaoru was also very happy, as well as nervous, and said with a smile: "No matter what the result is tomorrow, I will accompany you to have a good drink, and I won't stop if I don't get drunk, how about it?" ”
Lu Zhan laughed and said with a smile: "This is what my daughter-in-law said herself, you can't play tricks tomorrow night!" ”
Saying that, he grabbed her and approached her ear, and I didn't know what to say, which made Qiao Xiaoru's heart pound, her face turned red, she gritted her teeth and pushed him and smiled: "There are still serious things tomorrow, rest early tonight, don't mess around." ”
Several princes' mansions, the palace inside, are also destined to not be calm tonight.
Emperor Yonghe was very pleased, and he was happy to order the Kunning Palace to have dinner with the queen, just to talk about it and be happy together.
Xiao Guifei's silver teeth were bitten secretly, and the sourness surged up one after another.
Since the emperor had dinner in Kunning Palace, he naturally rested there.
Hmph, since the return to Beijing with the surname Lu, the emperor has been hooked by the old things of Chen Sesame and rotten grain more than 20 years ago, and he went to Kunning Palace to find the queen to sigh, but it is cheap for the queen, and she has been really proud recently!
The dignified queen, the mother of a country, did that kind of despicable thing and bad person marriage, and she hasn't found her back yet.
Fragments and all kinds of annoyances came together, and the more Xiao Guifei thought about it, the more angry she became.
has been smooth sailing in the harem for so many years, even if she can't defeat the queen, the two of them are half a catty and eight taels, and no one can help anyone. Recently, however, the queen has been proud of too many times, and her disobedience has been too much.
This is a very uncomfortable taste for Xiao Guifei, who has not suffered much for many years.
Xiao Guifei's eyes were cold, and she secretly sent a message to the third prince: If Yun Zhen faces Lu Zhan in tomorrow's competition, he must ruin him at all costs, and no one can fall into his hands if this position falls into his hands!
The third prince, who was drinking with the four princes and Yun Zhen in the palace, couldn't help but smile when he heard his mother's words, and the mother concubine was too worried, which was also regarded as a matter of special personal opinion.
Needless to say? This position is so important, of course, it can't fall into the hands of Lu Zhan.
What is the difference between falling into the hands of Lu Zhan and falling into the hands of the prince.
It is said that the father loves himself, but in fact, the father loves the prince the most! Otherwise, why do you value Lu Zhan so much?
Even blatantly passed him into the palace to teach before the competition - what an annoyance!
The third prince said and laughed lightly to convey the meaning of the concubine to the fourth prince and Yun Zhen, looked at Yun Zhen and smiled: "Yun Zhen, it's all up to you tomorrow, this king believes that you will definitely win!" If in case, this position must not fall into the hands of Lu Zhan, you can remember! ”
Yun Zhen raised his eyebrows, raised his glass and smiled at the third prince, raised his head and drank it all, but he didn't speak.
The fourth prince still looked lazy, sneered lightly when he heard the words, his narrow peach blossom eyes flashed, he glanced at the third prince and smiled lazily: "The third brother also thinks too highly of that country boy, how can he be virtuous?" To have such a skill to win the championship! Rest assured, tomorrow this position will not fall into his hands. ”
"There is no big mistake in being careful, the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, and you must not take it lightly." The third prince glanced at him and sighed with a smile: "That country boy can be so valued by his father and coax his father around, at least this king doesn't believe that he is an honest man!" ”
