Chu Liuyue looked intently.
A young man stood there with a pale face. The flame of the medicine cauldron in front of him had been extinguished, leaving only a handful of black ashes inside.
The sound just now came from inside.
It turns out that the refining of the medicine failed.
Judging from his clothes, he is from Taiyan Academy.
The arbitration teacher next to him reminded:
"You have one last chance."
The young man came back to his senses, nodded mechanically, hurriedly cleaned the medicine cauldron, and started to pick up the second set of medicinal materials next to it for a second try.
But perhaps it was his first failure that made him more nervous, and his hand holding the medicinal materials kept shaking.
The arbitration teacher shook his head secretly.
Some people watching in the audience also sighed.
They have seen this kind of situation many times.
The competition on the field was already fierce, and the failure to refine the medicine for the first time was a huge blow.
There are many students who are not mentally strong enough. After failing for the first time, they will quickly lose confidence and become depressed, resulting in failure for the second time.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the young man to get the medicinal materials in the wrong order. When he found out, he started to hurriedly try to take out the medicinal materials again.
With this movement, the flames in the medicine cauldron lost control and went out again!
The medicinal materials that could not be refined were wasted.
The arbitration teacher looked as expected and shook his head.
"No. 37, eliminated!"
Hearing this, the young man trembled all over, with deep frustration appearing in his eyes, and then he walked down the stage weakly.
"Is this the first person to be eliminated from this year's Heavenly Medicine Competition?"
"I really didn't expect that the performance this second time was not as good as the first time! The medicinal materials were refined before, but there was a problem during the fusion!"
"Maybe I'm too nervous. Don't talk about them, I'm worried just looking at it!"
"You still have no talent or strength! Look at Situ Xingchen, from the moment he came on the field to now, he is very calm and calm! Although it is the first time to participate in this Qingjiao Association, his method of refining medicine seems to be better than others. It’s so smooth!”
"After all, she is the beloved eldest princess of Star Luo Kingdom, and she truly deserves her reputation."
Situ Xingchen was determined to take first place this time, so from the beginning, he chose the most difficult prescription without hesitation.
Because of this, the medicinal materials placed next to her were several times that of others.
While other people who chose "medium" or "low" prescriptions were already trying to fuse them, she was still processing the medicinal materials in an orderly manner.
Gradually, more people began to be eliminated.
Situ Xingchen listened to those voices and remained unmoved. She only occasionally raised her head to take a look at the progress of those who had chosen to "prescribe" the medicine like her.
She didn't pay attention to the others at all.
As time goes by, more and more people are eliminated from the field.
By noon, only half was left.
Chu Liuyue has been waiting for that person to appear, but since that glance, there has been no movement from the other person.
She felt a little regretful, but she did not give up and was still waiting vigilantly.
Since the other party is here, he must have something up his sleeve.
Now that there are so many people in the Qingjiao Club here, it's hard to do anything, maybe after it's over.
Emperor Jiawen looked at the game on the field and said with a smile:
"Situ Xingchen is indeed outstanding. When I saw her a few years ago, she was just a little girl, but now she has become a tall girl."
Both appearance and talent are extremely outstanding.
The queen looked at Emperor Jiawen's expression and said she really liked Situ Xingchen, so she smiled and cheered:
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. A woman like Situ Xingchen is indeed rare to see. I heard that she doesn't seem to be engaged yet?"
Emperor Jiawen laughed:
"That's right! Her father is very fond of her and has always been reluctant to let her get married. He always said that he would stay for a few more years. But..."
However, when the two of them corresponded before, Situ Xingchen's father, Situ You, the current Emperor Jingkang of Xingluo Kingdom, had taken the initiative to bring up the matter of marriage.
As for the marriage partner, it is none other than Prince Rong Jin!
Not many people knew this news, and Situ You seemed to only mention it casually.
But as an emperor, how could he joke about such a thing
Emperor Jiawen knew very well that Situ You was testing his attitude.
He was naturally very satisfied with Situ Xingchen, but he didn't know why Situ You made this suggestion.
In Xingluo Kingdom, Situ Xingchen could also choose a satisfactory consort, so why did he choose a marriage
Moreover, you still chose Rong Jin
The queen naturally knew what he was thinking about.
His Majesty once mentioned it to her accidentally, but she didn't take it to heart at that time.
But now that I think about it, it is an excellent choice—at least better than Chu Liuyue!
If His Majesty wants to grant a marriage, it will be difficult for Rong Jin to resist.
Not to mention, if the other party is the eldest princess of Xingluo Kingdom!
She said as if joking:
"I wonder who will be so lucky to marry this eldest princess in the future."
Emperor Jiawen was thoughtful.
Rong Jin frowned secretly.
In fact, he had heard some news from his mother before and had thought about it at that time.
But that was before he angered his father.
During this period, he encountered setbacks one after another. He thought there was no hope, but now it seems that his father did not completely reject it.
But - the candidate for the crown princess in his heart has already been decided on Chu Liuyue!
If it was him before, he would be very happy to marry Situ Xingchen.
Who wouldn't want to marry such a perfect princess
But now, he only has Chu Liuyue in his heart, and he wouldn't want to be replaced by anyone else.
He coughed and said to Rong Qi who was sitting next to him unintentionally:
"I heard that Chu Liuyue took first place in the competition two days ago?"
Rong Qi was stunned.
Isn’t it true that my eldest brother has always hated Chu Liuyue the most? Why are you bringing it up now
His mind turned, and he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be rumors in the past two days that the prince's attitude towards Chu Liuyue had changed, and he had even invited her in public.
But Chu Liuyue refused.
According to his understanding of him, he should not have any contact with Chu Liuyue anymore.
Rong Qi nodded:
"It seems so. It's just that I didn't come here a few days ago, so I don't know much about the specific situation. But, brother, why did you suddenly mention her? You haven't always..."
Rong Jin smiled.
"She saved me once before, but I haven't had time to thank her in person."
Rong Qi felt more and more strange. He always felt that Rong Jin's expression was a little subtle when he talked about Chu Liuyue.
When Emperor Jiawen heard this, he turned to look at him.
Rong Jin actually spoke for Chu Liuyue
It seems that things during this period have indeed changed him a lot.
"That kid Liu Yue is indeed very good."
Rong Jin nodded and smiled bitterly.
"What my father said was that in the past, my son had no eyesight, so he missed it. Now, my son."
cough.
