He remembered that when he was a child, everyone disliked him for being fat and didn't play with him. Only she took the initiative to play with him and protected him! Now, it's time for him to protect her.
And if you want to be honest and protect her without being criticized, marrying her is the best way!
"Ahem -" Yi Lianyu then smiled awkwardly, "Brother Tantai, my fourth sister is not suitable to get married now. She is only thirteen years old and has not yet reached the age of hairpin. You should wait until she reaches the age of hairpin and then come and marry her in 28 years.
Let her say it!"
Tantai was stunned for a moment, then regained his usual coldness. Shen Yi looked at Yi Lian Yu and immediately bowed his hands: "Okay then! Let's wait until Ran'er is old enough to talk about it!" He also understood instantly that this matter should not be rushed.
"Then, let's enter the palace together!"
Qianran gave her eldest brother a look, feeling grateful. He also gave her a reassuring look. It seemed to say that he would always help her to prevent things like this from happening.
Seeing that there was no more fun, the crowd on the street dispersed at this moment.
People from the Xuanyuan family, people from the Yilian family, and Tantai Yizhong gathered together at this moment, all walking towards the direction of the palace. Originally, they all planned to take a car, but thinking that many people might have queued up at the gate of the palace, they also
I gave up the idea of taking a car.
They seemed to have turned enemies into friends, playing and talking and laughing all the way, and soon they arrived at the entrance of the palace. But the strange thing was that what they saw was that there were only a few people at the entrance of the palace. Although there were
We're queuing up, but it doesn't seem to be the same as in previous years.
Qianran knew immediately. If she guessed correctly, in order to ensure the number of contestants, Emperor Huangfu Ye must have thought of a way to test his talents and reduce unnecessary personnel. Could it be that to enter the palace, one must enter the palace by sea?
select?
They were all very curious at the moment. So they followed suit and started lining up. It wasn't until it was their turn that they knew that if they wanted to enter the palace, they had to pass the trial. In other words, the trial decided who would enter the palace.
At this time, Xuanyuan Siyu was happy and glanced at his elder brother with a smile: "It seems that the selection competition determines whether you can enter the palace! Then, I am also among them and can challenge it. Brother, don't you mind!"
Yilianyu and Xuanyuan Xiuxiu couldn't help but feel a little eager to try. They immediately stood behind Xuanyuan Siyu and squeezed into the front row.
Tantai Yizhong had no intention of participating in the selection at this moment. He cupped his fists at the remaining people and said, "Everyone, although I personally want to participate in this event, I am actually here to report on my work. Therefore..."
Knowing what he was about to say, Qianran immediately interrupted him and said with a smile: "It's okay. You go in first! I'll see you then."
Tantai Yizhong's handsome face immediately showed reluctance, and with a lingering look in his eyes, he turned around, bypassed the team, and entered the palace.
Yilian Xiao on one side was a little confused and couldn't help but ask: "Fourth sister, it seems that he really likes you. Look at the look in his eyes, so reluctant to leave you."
"It's a pity that Fourth Sister can't marry him." Yi Lianyu couldn't help but said, shaking his head.
Xuanyuan Siyu was a little curious when he heard what they said, and couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
Xuanyuan Forsythia and Xuanyuan Zhan are also very confused. They don't know why Yilianyu said this! In fact, when it comes to family background, the Tantai family is indeed good. They are also matched with the Yilian family. Why can't she marry him?
Yi Lian Xiao frowned deeply at this moment, and suddenly broke out an inside message: "Actually, grandpa hopes that King Yan can marry the fourth sister! Moreover, after King Yan came to our house some time ago, it seemed that both of them acquiesced to this matter!
"
"What!" Several people in the Xuanyuan family were suddenly startled, causing the people in front of them to turn around and stare at them.
Suddenly, Xuanyuan Siyu asked in a low voice: "Fourth sister, is this really happening? But I heard that the Flame King never smiles, he is just a paralyzed man. Moreover, his murderous eyes and powerful war god aura are all...
He can freeze to death and scare countless flies and butterflies that approach. He is so cold and uninteresting. Sister Qianran, can you really stand it? Although, he is one of the top ten handsome men in the world, with extraordinary handsome appearance." I can't help but.
, she felt a little sympathy for her.
So what if this person is beautiful? He is a boring gourd, and he can't even speak a word! He has no common interests and hobbies, and it would be very difficult for him to stay with her for life! If it were her, she wouldn't do it!
Qianran frowned and couldn't help curling her lips. Iceberg? Yes! That guy has indeed never seen him smile many times. But that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to smile. When he smiles, he looks so happy.
People's hearts are fascinating! But the problem is, if he smiles, he must be planning something, and he is sure to succeed. Therefore, she is afraid of losing money by marrying him! Besides, she is still very young now.
As for getting engaged, it is a very troublesome matter! However, Yu Feiyan has agreed to help, so the problem should not be big.
At this moment, the team moved a lot forward, and then they heard the high-pitched voice of the father-in-law, shouting: "Where are the heirs of the Yilian family and the Xuanyuan family? The emperor has decreed that you can enter the palace and enter the competition without being selected!"
When Yi Lian Yu and Xuanyuan Zhan heard the father-in-law's shouting, they immediately came to thank him with their two families and followed him into the palace. The heirs of the family behind them were filled with hatred and jealousy!
The palace is still magnificent, with pavilions and pavilions paved with jade and intricately carved railings and jade structures, which are extremely beautiful. Coupled with the crystal clear white snow, it is even more fairy-like and illusory, just like a fairy palace in a dream.
Not long after, they saw the cyan figure of Mr. Zhan and the moon-white figure of Mr. Zhan, as well as the First Young Master, King Yan, King Hua, and others. Without thinking much, the group saluted them one by one.
"Fourth Miss, today's match will definitely not disappoint you again!" Under Hua Wang Sheyu's silver mask, there was a luxurious and elegant smile on her thin lips, and her voice became clearer and softer, as if a warm breeze was blowing through her heart.
, it is very comfortable, even in this cold temperature, it seems to be able to rise, and it is not afraid of the severe cold.
Although Xuanyuan Zhan was talking to his family on one side, his eyes would always fall on Qian Ran intentionally or unintentionally. It made him realize that King Hua, King Yan, and the First Young Master all seemed to be very familiar with her. Could it be that
Say, the backbone of the Yiren family is really the fourth young lady - Yiren Qianran?
Qianran's eyes were indifferent and she said casually: "Oh. It should be so! After all, it is an event! There is definitely no way to escape."
"It's a pity that Feiyan is also participating this time. But we may meet you in the finals! Then, I hope Ran'er will be merciful!" Yu Feiyan pursed her lips and smiled. The graceful arc was pleasing to the eye, like jade.
The grace is even more magnificent in this winter.
Qian Ran screamed in her heart. Damn! You monster!
"I should be the one to say this!" She deliberately replied in a nonchalant manner and put away her surprised look.
But it was also at this time that Yilianyan put his long arms around her, hugged her short body under his sleeves, lowered his head and his soft eyes flashed with a smile, and asked softly: "Do you want me to let you?"
"
Unable to withstand the strong strength of his arms, Qian Ran was unable to break away, so she could only raise her head and glare at him fiercely: "Men and women are not allowed to kiss each other, please let me go!"
"Oh? But, your grandfather has already accepted the engagement gift and acquiesced to my king's existence. Sooner or later, you have been my king's person, so it is normal to be intimate now, right?" His voice was light, but it had a warning meaning, which made him feel uncomfortable.
After hearing this, Prince Hua, Yu Qihua and Yu Feiyan couldn't help but be a little shocked.
This marriage was decided so quickly? But that’s right. Yilianyan is the only child of the Yilian family. It is a normal thing to marry with this family. It seems that it is impossible to stop it!
Yu Feiyan gritted his teeth secretly, and his mood suddenly fell to the bottom. In this way, his plan of destruction had to be advanced. As long as she was not married, anything was possible!
As for She Yu Qihua, he was just shocked. After all, there has been no movement from the Imperial Master, so everything is likely to change. He is not in a hurry. If there is no error in what his people report, the Lian family
The fourth lady, Ichiren Chiran, might very well be that person! If he is really that person, it would be absolutely impossible for him, Ichirenyan, to monopolize her.
The surrounding ministers and family members were surprised but relieved when they saw Qianran and Yilianyan being so close. They all became enthusiastic about Yilian. They all saw what happened to Queen Yuwen before. This
The emperor said he liked her in front of Yi Lian Zhan, which shows that the emperor deliberately wanted to win over Yi Lian's family. The court was divided into two factions, and now they have settled down. The number of the emperor's confidants is also increasing day by day. I am afraid that in the future, he wants to win over Yi Lian's family.
This emperor's subordinates must really work hard. Otherwise, it will be a matter of time before they are demoted.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to connect, how could they not keep in touch to connect with each other?
"Everyone, the emperor just said that this is a trial to select the candidates for the palace. Next is the preliminary round to select the finalists. Those who want to participate can register here at the Zajia." The old father-in-law's voice immediately passed through everyone's ears.
.
"What? Let's go together?" Yilianyan narrowed his eyes, hiding the smile and affection that he didn't even notice, and hugged her forcefully and domineeringly before registering in front of her husband.
When the old man saw Flame King and Princess Qianran, he was shocked at the same time. But soon he knew the reason and assigned them opponents with a smile. Then, after everyone got their number plates, the preliminary round was about to begin.
It's about to begin.
The so-called ice carving skill is also a skill that trains people's willpower and patience, as well as knife skills. Therefore, this preliminary competition is based on carving skills as the first priority and beautiful appearance as the secondary to select the finalists. The venue of the preliminary competition is the Royal Garden
middle.
After the father-in-law arrived at the entrance of the Royal Garden, everyone stopped. After the father-in-law explained the rules, everyone felt at ease.
Qian Ran took advantage of Yi Lian Yan's careful listening to the rules, got out of his arms, and returned to Xuanyuan Siyu and his party. Yi Lian Yan was not upset. Anyway, what he wanted to do would be done soon.
As a result, he was not in a hurry at all.
Later, after the father-in-law called the number, Xuanyuan Siyu, Xuanyuan Zhan, Yilianyu, and Yilian Qianran all knew that they were in a group, and they all showed disappointed looks. This also indicates that they will
They are enemies. However, they all remember the emperor's words. Of course, the Xuanyuan family must do this if they lose to the Yilian family.
From time to time, the preliminary competition for a group of ten people began.
"Wow, what a big ice cube!" Xuanyuan Siyu exclaimed in exaggerated surprise when he saw the ice cube in front of him that was as tall as a person. He couldn't help but glance at his elder brother and Qianran on one side, and realized that everyone's ice cubes were the same.
High.
The ice-cutting tools placed on the table beside her are all available, and they are all extremely sharp. Well! She has never carved anything, let alone carved it with ice cubes.
She immediately raised her hand and said shyly: "I abstain!"
Her husband nodded at her to signal her to leave in silence. She reluctantly left, although she also wanted to stay and be a close spectator.
Immediately, people started to give up and leave one after another. There were also a few who left after finishing carving. In short, Ichiren Qianran was one of the last few people to leave. It seemed like her face was dull, and it was not clear whether the object she carved would be selected.
In short, many people know that people from the Yilian family will definitely be selected this time. This has long been the emperor's internal quota. And the people from the Yilian family are just going through the motions!
As soon as she came out, Yu Feiyan, Yilianyan, She Yuqihua and others walked past her and nodded at her before going in. The young ladies from the family who had long cast murderous looks at her were deeply shocked.
Envy, envy, and hate!
Regulus Forsythia glanced at the aristocratic ladies who cast vicious glances, and shouted angrily: "Sister Qianran, how are you?"
"Absolutely!" Qianran shrugged, knowing deep down that Emperor Huangfuye must have reserved enough places for the Yilian family, and she was just here to go through the process.
"Average? Hahaha, in this case, you will definitely not be eligible for this position." Suddenly, a sharp and sarcastic voice cut through the air.
Immediately everyone saw a charming and graceful woman in a flame-colored dress walking over surrounded by maids.
Immediately, everyone bowed their heads and saluted: "I've seen you, Princess Yumin!"
"Yeah. You don't have to be polite!" Lou Yumin smiled, tied up her hair, and then looked at Qian Ran and Xuanyuan Siyu proudly, and couldn't help but tremble at the corner of her mouth.
This one is a pretty little beauty, but she is actually a tigress. Although the other one is also a princess like her, she is fat and ugly! Especially this Princess Qianran, how come Brother Yan falls in love with her?
I got engaged to her secretly! How abominable!
Her beautiful eyes flashed, ready to take it out on them, but found that neither of them seemed to be easy to offend, and the elders of the Yilian family had not left yet, so she could not act rashly. Then, she stood aside angrily, waiting for the result of the competition.
Qianran had long noticed the evil in her eyes, but he was very surprised why she didn't attack Xuanyuan Siyu? But then she was relieved. Xuanyuan Siyu had a bad reputation, so his means of revenge should be pretty good.
Princess Yumin may have been tricked before.
"She seems quite powerful!" She couldn't help but whisper in Xuanyuan Siyu's ears.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Siyu sneered disdainfully: "Isn't it just that she is prettier than me? There is nothing impressive about her. Although she is usually arrogant and domineering, unfortunately she has to think about it when she meets me, my aunt, my aunt."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"I have a death-free medal in my house. She doesn't dare to touch it. In fact, you also have something in your house that will scare her."
Qianran was suddenly stunned. Does she have one at home? Why didn’t she know?
"What is it? It seems, I don't quite remember."
"Oh, it's the Emperor Phoenix Sword that cuts first and plays later!"
Emperor Phoenix Sword? Qian Ran blinked her eyes, feeling horrified in her heart! Emperor Phoenix, Emperor Phoenix, Phoenix, Emperor? Could it be the sword that Empress Yilian once wielded? Huangfu Ye, Huangfu Ye, could this be the ultimate goal of winning over the Yilian family?
Is it to take back or destroy the Emperor Phoenix Sword? To prevent the Yilian family from becoming bigger and more successful in the future?
This family with great achievements in the past generations will not end well. It seems that she has to remind her grandfather.
"That's it! If that's the case, then I'm not so scared anymore."
"Hmph! Sister Qianran doesn't have to be afraid of such a scumbag! Princess Yumin, like you, actually inherited the throne from her father. Because there is no precedent for a woman to be a vassal king, the emperor decreed that she be granted the title of Princess Princess.
Bit. Otherwise, how could she be so arrogant?"
"Haha." Qianran nodded. He already understood the origin of Princess Yumin, so the next thing would be easier to handle.
If she dares to provoke her, the consequences will be serious. And she never likes trouble!
Sensing the flash of coldness in her eyes, Xuanyuan Siyu's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Princess Yumin, who was looking at her with mocking eyes, and mourned for her. If this girl dares to offend Princess Qianran, she will be afraid of death.
It would be very miserable! Although, she had never seen her do anything to anyone! However, the aura she revealed unintentionally was a bit chilling! It was so horrifying, so horrifying!
The competition continued until midnight, and only after about twenty father-in-laws passed it on, everyone knew their respective results. Therefore, some people left the palace and prepared to be spectators during the finals. And those who stayed
There is no shortage of outstanding people.
"Everyone, there is no distinction between nobles or civilians in the competition. As long as you win, you will have the opportunity to meet the national master. You will officially participate in the Ice Lantern Festival at twilight tomorrow! You will stay overnight, and the various palaces have been arranged for you.
A late-night snack, a daily necessities." The old man waved his fly whisk, his smile was calm but dignified.
Afterwards, the crowd dispersed. Each followed the father-in-law who led the way to the arranged palace to spend the night, waiting for the Ice Lantern Festival tomorrow!
At night, the moon is as dark as ice. The wind is cold and cold.
In the inner courtyard of the palace, among the jade trees, flowers, ice, and jade bones, there was one person who had not yet rested. His fat body fell on the high wall, looking extraordinarily tall and proud.
Qianran really couldn't sleep. Maybe she also started to have the habit of choosing a bed! In short, as soon as she closed her eyes, she remembered all those messy things. She even thought of Tantai Ichichou!
"Who? Come down quickly! Otherwise, shoot to death!"
"Huh?" Qianran's mouth twitched sharply.
No! Just when I thought of Brother Tan, he came?
She then landed on the ground with a phantom step, shook her purple dress, and then approached the person. She sighed in her heart - it really was him!
"Is it you!?" Tantai narrowed his eyes, then smiled.
When the guards behind them saw that it was the rumored Princess Qianran, they all put down their weapons and continued patrolling.
"It's me!" Qianran saw the irrelevant people leaving and walked into the pavilion next to him to sit down. "I couldn't sleep, so I sat on the wall."
"I can tell you've had insomnia just by looking at it." Tantai said with a smile, sitting next to her, and suddenly holding her cold fleshy hand with one hand, his heart trembled.
This fleshy feeling is so comfortable! My mind couldn't help but sway. But I quickly pulled my hand back, showing a trace of annoyance and self-blame.
Qian Ran suddenly curled her lips, wanting to tease him. She couldn't help but look sad, and her tone of voice was filled with sadness: "That Princess Yumin from before didn't like me and Xuanyuan Siyu. I don't know if she will cause trouble in the future!
I’m really a little worried!”
When he heard this, he immediately frowned: "It's her? Sister Qianran, don't mind. I'll help you tomorrow. I'll definitely make it impossible for her to participate in the competition, which will vent your anger on you and Xuanyuan Siyu!" He narrowed his cold eyes, anger rising.
Qianran was stunned. This cold feeling was very similar to that of Yi Renyan! He was worthy of being a man who had been on the battlefield for a long time. The aura of killing was so deeply tainted. But it was also because of this that no one dared to bully him.
, dare to underestimate it!
"Thank you, Brother Tantai!" Qianran looked at his stern face steadily and thanked him sincerely. However, the look on the face of that monster Yi Lianyan flashed suspiciously in her mind, and she immediately gritted her teeth secretly.
"Hey, I have nothing to thank you for. I should help you. That kind of woman doesn't deserve your anger and worry." He smiled, and his mood became better.
"Then how about I, the king, marry her off to another place, so that I can have a completely peaceful life without any worries?"
Tantai was stunned for a moment, what do you mean by this? Ran'er? This person actually called him so affectionately!
He turned around coldly, took one look, and immediately knelt down and saluted: "I've seen the Flame King!"
Yi Lian Yan glanced at his face indifferently, deliberately bypassed him, walked into the pavilion and sat down. He took Qian Ran's hand and said with concern: "Ran'er, just tell me about such a trivial matter.
Why bother others? Aren't we already engaged? The old man also acquiesced, didn't he? What are you still awkward about?"
Tantai Yizhong didn't dare to stand up. He was startled and furious at the same time. He Yirenyan wanted to snatch Qianran from him? No. No! But, he was just a little imperial guard! How could he win over him?
The majestic Flame King? Moreover, it seems that the Flame King cares about her very much?
Qianran pulled away her hand in dissatisfaction and ran over to help Tantai Ichichou. As if she couldn't bear it, she patted his shoulder sympathetically: "Don't be angry, brother Ichichou. You should go on patrol!" Hey, this kid!
He is no match for this monster!
For the safety of his life, it was best for her to persuade him to go!
Tantai Yizhong was immediately flattered by her closeness, but when he saw her apologetic look, he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart. Is she pitying him? Is it just because he was taught a lesson by the Flame King in disguise? That's all.
?She really didn’t have that kind of thought towards him?
