"Alas! This damn girl really doesn't give Ben Wuhou any face."
Lin Fan sighed helplessly.
However, this little girl doesn't seem to be very familiar with him, and he hasn't seen his brother for many days. It's normal for him to be so eager to meet him for the first time.
The brother and sister were chatting together. Lin Fan knew that he was not comfortable with the past, so he simply walked around the Imperial Garden for a while. Not long after, Zhu Cijiong came to see him.
"Sir! Something happened!"
Zhu Cijiong yelled when he saw Lin Fan from a distance.
Lin Fan turned around in confusion, looked at Zhu Cijiong and said, "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, that old guy Nalan Xiongying has some trouble. He insists on setting three tests for you. Only after you pass them will he be allowed to marry Sister Nalan!"
"This is not a good time. The Nalan Eagle brought here are all strong men. They said they want you to wrestle with them. If you win, you will be considered to have passed the first test."
"The second test is to test mounted archery. Although you are good at fighting, you will definitely not be able to match Narantuji's mounted archery. His mounted archery is unmatched by anyone."
"This old guy is such a bully!"
When Zhu Cijiong said this, he gritted his teeth.
"Don't worry. When soldiers come, we will block it. When water comes, we will stop it. This old guy is so shameless. What can I do? If he gives way, I will compete with him."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Sir, why don't you understand?
He is deliberately making you look bad again. Now, my father is arguing with him, at least one of them should be removed from riding, archery and wrestling."
Zhu Cijiong said.
"Remove one?
That’s so boring. If you want to defeat the enemy, you must defeat the enemy in the area where he is best!”
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Zhu Cijiong saw that he could not persuade Lin Fan, so he stopped talking. When the ministers in the court heard about this, many of them gloated in private.
"Hehe! I didn't expect that Lin Fan would make such a fool of himself!"
"Haha! This kid is used to being arrogant and thinks that everyone will be afraid of him. I didn't expect that this Nalan Eagle is not afraid and wants to test him!"
"No matter whether Lin Fan is willing to marry Princess Nalan or not, as long as he fails this test, he will be humiliated!"
"Wrestling with Heshuote's warriors, let alone him, even the generals who are good at strength in the army may not be able to compete with him!"
"If he were just competing against ordinary warriors, Lin Fan wouldn't lose so humiliatingly, but if he were competing against Nalan Tuji, he might lose to the point of despair!"
"Haha! Don't say that. Emperor Wuhou is the number one Wuhou in our Ming Dynasty. If we lose so miserably, will we also lose face?
Ha ha!"
…
The officials all regarded this matter as a joke.
Ren Linfan is good at fighting, but as long as he loses face in this matter, he will never be able to raise his head in this life.
However, what they don't know is that Lin Fan is not an ancient person, but a good boy from the 21st century who has nothing but a good attitude.
Not to mention that he was sure of winning, even if he surrendered directly, he wouldn't feel ashamed.
What's more, this Nalan Yanran is just a cooked duck, can she still fly?
At worst, Nalan Xiongying will be the one to be embarrassed if he steals his bride.
correct!
Just grab the bride directly, it would be too boring to compete with them.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan was ready to surrender directly.
On the second day, at least 10,000 people gathered at the palace martial arts field. Almost all the officials arrived, and many guards came. Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou sat high up, looking at the crowd below.
Nalan Xiongying was sitting with his daughter Nalan Yanran. At this time, Nalan Xiongying's face was full of pride. Next, he was waiting for Lin Fan to make a fool of himself.
"Father, do you really want him to make a fool of himself?
However, Yan'er thinks he is pretty good."
When Nalan Yanran said the words "not bad", her face turned red with embarrassment.
Nalan Xiongying said: "Daughter, you are still young and can easily be deceived by others. Today, as a father, I will let you see clearly the true nature of Lin Fan. He is just a flashy person."
Nalan Yanran murmured in a low voice and said nothing. Nalan Xiongying looked at his daughter and knew that she had feelings for Lin Fan.
Involuntarily, when Nalan Eagle looked at Lin Fan, he became even more angry.
Lin Fan stood in the center of the school martial arts field with his hands in his pockets. He had found these trousers from a tailor a few days ago and had them modified according to the trousers he wore on Earth in his previous life.
Because it was so novel, the tailors were amazed when they made it. Lin Fan planned to open a few clothing stores to sell these pants in a while.
"Haha! Lin Fan is still pretending to be a big-tailed wolf. He will make a fool of himself soon!"
"Look at what he is wearing. These pants are so immoral! He even put his hands in them. It is an insult to politeness! It is an insult to politeness!"
"Alas! Look at the position of his hands. He looks like a country man. It's inappropriate in this palace school martial arts field!"
…
The people who had the biggest objections to Lin Fan's move were the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Lin Fan's six senses were much sharper than the average person, so naturally he could hear some officials' comments about him.
"Tch! Isn't it just putting your hands in your pockets? Isn't that degrading to politeness?
After a while, I will let you know what fashion is."
Lin Fan thought in his heart.
Wang Chengen trotted over and whispered in Lin Fan's ear: "Oh! My Royal Highness, please restrain your usual behavior. His Majesty wants to beat you."
"What's wrong with me?
I put my hands in my pockets, not put them there."
Lin Fan said speechlessly.
"Alas! In short, please restrain yourself. His Majesty said, if you can compete, just do it. If you can't compete, you can deal with it. It's okay to be embarrassed. Anyway, this marriage can't go away."
Wang Chengen reminded in a low voice.
Lin Fan knew that Emperor Chongzhen was worried that he would be brave and hurt himself by competing with strong men, so he was somewhat fatherly.
"Okay, go and tell His Majesty that I know about this and I will take it easy."
Lin Fan replied.
"Okay, the young one will go back and recover. Oh, Your Highness, take your hand out quickly!"
Wang Chengen saw Lin Fan still had his hands in his pockets and hurriedly reminded him.
Lin Fan reluctantly pulled out his hand, and Wang Chengen left. Empress Zhou looked at Emperor Chongzhen with disgust and said, "Your Majesty, today we have gained face, but we are still embarrassed."
"This... I'm a little embarrassed right now. As the saying goes, if you lose someone, you don't lose the formation. Why do I feel like I've lost everything?"
Emperor Chongzhen said.
Queen Zhou wanted to leave now, but Zhu Cijiong stood behind Queen Zhou, his eyes shining when he looked at the pants Lin Fan was wearing.
"Mother, I really like these pants of Lin Fan's. I want to make one again later."
