"Don't you usually go down the mountain?"
"There is nothing to go down the mountain."
"Isn't that just practicing all day long?"
"No. Take Xiaodai for a walk in the morning, then do some chores and read a book. Practice swords in the afternoon and practice in the evening."
"What is Xiaodai?"
"Xiao Dai is a little beast I picked up, a bit like a horse, and now it is my mount."
"I see… "
Listening to the laughter from the chief seat, the head of County Jiayan bit harder. I really don't know what's so funny about it. All day long, besides reading and doing exercises, is she a puppet? Such a boring person, I don't know what my cousin likes in her!
"Crack!" Suddenly biting something hard, Jiayan's gums went numb, and she cried out "ah", tears burst out.
"What's wrong?" The scream attracted the attention of the King and Princess of Zhongzhou.
County Master Jiayan spat out what was in her mouth, and when she saw the blood mixed in it, she cried "Wow" while covering her cheeks.
"Sister bit the clam shell!" the little prince said back.
The king and concubine couldn't laugh or cry, and the king of Yijun blamed him: "You are such a big person, so don't be careful when eating."
"It's possible that you didn't pay attention." The princess smiled, "Qingqing, show the county master quickly."
"Yes." Ding Qingqing was also smiling.
After confirming that her teeth were fine, Jiayan heaved a sigh of relief and rubbed her cheeks. Turning her head, she saw Lu Mingshu raised the corner of her mouth, and an evil fire rose from her mouth. She opened her mouth and said, "Why are you laughing?!"
Lu Mingshu turned his gaze away.
"What are you looking at? It's you! Is the county lord funny?"
"Jiayan!" Prince Yi scolded. What occasion is this? Even if you don't like her, there's no need to find fault with her in public.
"I'll just ask her, why not?" Even her father stood by her side, Jiayan became even more annoyed, and pointed at Lu Mingshu, "Say it!"
Lu Mingshu said lightly: "It's nothing, I just feel happy thinking that I won the county lord's bet."
County Mistress Jiayan was stunned for a moment.
"Did the county lord forget?" Lu Mingshu reminded, "On the opening day, the county lord made a public bet with me on whether I could enter the rookie list."
County Mistress Jiayan really forgot.
That day, Xie Lianzhen let the maid pretend to deliver medicine, but Xie Lianzhen exposed it. She was depressed for several days, and she didn't even come to the competition, so she forgot about it. Now being reminded by Lu Mingshu in front of the king and concubine, the hairs stand on end.
Stakes! The bet is one hundred Xuanjing!
She immediately went to see her father, Prince Yi.
King Yijun was surprised and asked, "Is there such a thing?"
Lu Mingshu was not polite at all, and explained first: "Don't the county king know? The county lord asked me to make a bet the other day, saying that if I didn't make it to the rookie list, she wouldn't bother me... Cough, if I made it to the rookie list, she would lose to me stake."
Don't be obsessed with anything, she omitted the latter, but anyone who knows a little about Jiayan county master will know which name is followed by it.
Prince Yi frowned: "I would like to admit defeat. Jiayan, since you lost, you must admit it."
"... I know, I know."
After waiting for a long time with nothing to say, Yijun Wang asked curiously, "What are you still doing in a daze? Pay the bet!"
County Mistress Jiayan was about to cry. The bet, the bet is one hundred Xuanjing! For a while, how could she get it out...
Lu Mingshu looked at her, not intending to rescue her at all.
Prince Yijun had no choice but to smooth things over by himself: "Miss Lu, Jiayan is spoiled by me, if you offend me in any way, please don't bother with her."
Lu Mingshu shook his head and said, "It's just a fair bet, it's not offensive."
Prince Yi squeezed out a smile, and murmured in his heart, does Miss Lu really not understand, or is she deliberately trying not to let Jiayan step down
He said in his mouth: "Jiayan's bet, let me pay for her. I don't know how much?"
"Not much, one hundred profound crystals."
King Yijun turned his head and ordered his personal attendant: "Go get one hundred... Xuanjing?" The tone of the last two words suddenly rose, and he looked back at Lu Mingshu who was calm and relaxed in surprise, and then went to look at County Mistress Jiayan.
County Chief Jiayan lowered her head so much that she didn't dare to lift it up. One hundred profound crystals, one ecstasy state, may not have so much net worth. Although she has food, if she wants to use a hundred profound crystals, she has to go through King Yi...
"Jiayan!" Yijun Wang shouted in a deep voice.
Princess Jiayan didn't dare to raise her head anymore.
"You..." His hands trembled with anger, and King Yi finally managed to suppress his emotions. This silly girl is 100% taken in the ditch! Thinking about it this way, his impression of Lu Mingshu was not good. Even if Jiayan behaved improperly, why would she cheat her like this
Lu Mingshu didn't care what Prince Yi was thinking, he was still so composed.
King Yijun took a deep breath, and continued to order his attendants: "Go and get a hundred profound crystals."
The servant took the order and left.
Not long after, a brocade bag was handed over to Lu Mingshu.
One hundred profound crystals is not a small amount. King Yi's voice gritted his teeth: "Miss Lu, this is a hundred mysterious crystals, you can take them away."
Lu Mingshu finally didn't count them face to face, saving him the last bit of face.
"Thank you."
Seeing this, the princess smiled slightly and gave King Zhongzhou a wink.
King Zhongzhou shook his head and gave her a helpless look.
This girl has a really tough temper. He dared to offend King Yijun after all this was said. Maybe, she didn't even think about staying
"Where's Xing'er? Tell him to come here and have a look."
"Yes." Ding Qingqing took the order.
Lu Mingshu's eyes flashed. Thinking of last night, she didn't really want to see Xie Lianzhen. Hearing Wei Chunqiu tell those secret things, she got a glimpse of Xie Lianzhen's past, which was different from what she imagined. The original plan could not be implemented at all, and she hadn't figured out how to face it yet.
But she couldn't stop the princess' order.
After a while, Xie Changhui pushed Xie Lianzhen over.
"Brother!" The little prince ran over happily.
Xie Lianzhen smiled and patted his head.
Anyone who watched it would feel that this was a warm scene, but Lu Mingshu only felt chills in his heart.
How can a person who doesn't care about anything pretend to be so tender? It seems that he really loves this little brother.
"Prince, concubine." Xie Lianzhen, who was on the wheelchair, bowed slightly to the seat of honor.
The king of Zhongzhou looked at him and said with a smile: "Recently, he has improved his cultivation! Are you preparing for a shock?"
Xie Lianzhen nodded: "It's time to try, if it fails, it's easy to adjust."
"That's fine, you've polished enough."
The princess said: "When will you say no to this question? The competition is about to begin, Xing'er, you take your seat first..."
"Cousin sit here!" County Mistress Jiayan hurriedly called out, "Come watch with us!"
"Yeah." The little prince also nodded, "Brother sits with us."
The concubine sighed secretly in her heart, with a pleasant expression on her face: "Go."
Seeing that she had no objection, the maid had already cleared the seats and pushed Xie Lianzhen to a seat.
At this time, Xia Houshan appeared on the rooftop.
