Pluto's Golden Apple

"Ai Concubine, I wonder if Ai Concubine would like to participate in Yao'er's relative selection meeting? Li Yan asked Huan Rou with a smile.

Huanrou had no intention of participating in these activities, she didn't like to show her face in public, for fear of causing more disasters, so she always lived in seclusion.

Just as Huanrou was about to refuse, Li Yan spoke up on his own: "Yaoer and Aifei have always had a good relationship. As Yaoer's mother and concubine, Aifei should also care about what kind of husband Yaoer will choose in the future. .”

When Li Yan said this, Huanrou had no way to refuse. Indeed, she also hoped that Li Yao could find a better home. Last time, he had already displeased him. If he refused now, he would definitely feel that he was ignorant. After that, how can you still live in the palace?

"Yes, I'm going to change clothes now." Huanrou suppressed the resentment in her heart, pretending to be kind.

Today is the martial arts test, and Jue Leng is really troubled by this competition.Turning around in the room all the time, Li Qianyue was so annoyed.

"Hey, let me tell you, are you annoyed by turning around?"

Jue Leng was very anxious, if he still had supernatural power, Bibi might not be able to completely win, at least he would not show his flaws, but now that he has no kung fu at all, wouldn't that be a waste of embarrassment?And it will definitely make the current emperor suspicious. The Beizhi Kingdom is the most powerful. As the third prince, Hu Xian's kung fu is really good, why can't he fight?

It's so cold that I don't have time to talk to Li Qianyue.Seeing her appearance, Li Qianyue was angry, and stepped forward to punch her hard in the stomach.Jue Leng was so caught off guard that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

Li Qianyue looked at her distressedly, but she was a little complacent. Before Jue Leng could react, she said, "In this way, you don't have to compete? Just say, your old injury has recurred, and you really can't be angry. If you can't compete, send me to compete on your behalf, won't you be able to reveal yourself?"

Jue Leng glared at Li Qianyue: "Don't mess around, how could His Majesty the Emperor allow such a formal occasion? Even if I was disabled by you, I would still be dragged into the competition."

Li Qianyue smiled, her smile was full of confidence: "Of course, of course, according to common sense, it must be so, and the emperor would definitely not allow it. But... don't forget that this is for the marriage selection of the nine princesses , all the rules are also made by the Ninth Princess, as long as you mention it in front of her, she will definitely agree, I dare to bet you!" Li Qianyue sighed in her heart, she was another stupid woman who thought that Jue Leng was a man, and she was willing to have it. Good impression.People can never be cruel to the person they like, even if they break countless rules for him, Li Qianyue firmly believes in this.And she confirmed that Li Yao really had a crush on Jue Leng.After all, when Li Qianyue watched Li Yao looking at Jue Leng playing the piano, there was a trace of affection in Li Qianyue's eyes.Women are the ones who understand women best. How could a fool like Jue Leng understand?

When Jue Leng was about to scold her for giving her such a bad idea, someone had already come to invite her, saying that the martial arts tournament was about to start, and the third prince was invited to go.

Jue Leng sighed, there was really no other way, compared to revealing all the secrets, maybe Li Qianyue could try this method, even if it was still rejected by the emperor, at least she showed that she was unwell, maybe it would not make the emperor suspicious like that.Jue Leng felt that her body was covered in cold sweat, and she became more and more nervous.

"Don't be afraid," Li Qianyue said calmly, with a sly smile, "I'm here."

Jue Leng shook her head, this comforting words didn't seem to make her feel at ease.

After she took her seat, she found that the more than 10 people who proposed to marry were basically seated. The emperor sat on the top side, Li Yao sat on his left, and the queen sat on the emperor's right.

The emperor looked very happy today, in high spirits, even more proud than the dust-cleaning banquet last time.This contest is also very crucial. The princes and nobles of various countries represent the face of the royal families of various countries, so there must be no mistakes.

Ye An whispered a few words in the emperor's ear, and the emperor immediately smiled more happily, and stroked his beard: "Hurry up and bring Concubine Xian in."

Li Yao who was at the side heard that Concubine Xian was also coming, she was very happy, her marriage can still alarm her, it seems that she is indeed out of friendship.Only the empress's face has become very long. Since this concubine Xian entered the palace, even though she seemed extremely indifferent to the emperor, she still captured the emperor's heart.These years, if she hadn't intentionally avoided living in seclusion, I might have found a way to harm her long ago.It happened that she didn't care about palace affairs, and she didn't fight for favor. After he had lied to her, she became more defensive, so she had almost no chance to strike.

"Princes, lords, and a beloved concubine who has a very good relationship with Yao'er, so I want to join in the fun, I hope you are not surprised." Li Yan said with a smile, but he had an expression that would dare to take offense.

The woman in white came slowly, her soft black hair was slightly rolled up, and there was a trace of fluttering in it. After approaching, she felt that the surrounding area was filled with an elegant fragrance.

Those people who proposed to marry were dumbfounded.Everyone only thought that the emperor's nine princesses were stunning in the world, but they never expected that the real stunning beauty was hidden in this palace.Li Yan saw the eyes of all the courtiers, and secretly smiled.If it is more beautiful, I am afraid that Concubine Xian is much taller than Yao'er. No wonder, who in the world would not want to have such an elegant person?

Li Qianyue was also stunned, she always thought that Li Yao was indeed a stunning beauty in the world, but she didn't expect that after seeing Huanrou, she realized that there is such a beautiful person in the world?She was like a pure lotus, walking from a clean water area, she exuded a noble temperament, but she seemed to be a little condensed, and there was no warmth in her eyes.

Just when Li Qianyue wanted to make fun of Jue Leng, did she feel that this beauty was not as good as her sweetheart, then she realized that Jue Leng's eyes had been firmly attracted to that woman.Li Qianyue had never seen Jue Leng's expression.Tears filled those bright eyes, and the gentleness of the past turned into scorching heat.That scorching gaze burned Li Qianyue in an instant.It turned out that she was the one whom Jue Leng thought about.No wonder, in this world, there should be no more beautiful person than her.Li Qianyue's heart was as sad as being cut by a knife, she must be sick, very sick.

Fortunately, Jue Leng was still wearing a mask, otherwise, her face distorted by pain would be obvious to everyone at once.Li Qianyue touched Jue Leng lightly, and Jue Leng recovered from the long lovesickness.

"Okay, the competition begins, and the order is determined by drawing lots." Li Yan ordered someone to take out the lottery tube with a smile.

"Your Majesty," Jue Leng knelt forward, "Hu Xian begged His Majesty to have Hu Xian's maid, Qianyue, take Hu Xian's place in the competition. Because Hu Xian's old injury recurred, he couldn't lift up any strength, and he coughed up blood last night. I hope your majesty will slump." pity."

Li Yan frowned: "Nonsense, the third prince came to propose marriage on behalf of Beizhi Kingdom anyway, how can he use a maid to perfuse it?" Li Yan was a little angry, this Hu Xian really didn't know what to do, didn't he despise himself?Li Yao smelled some murderous intentions from her father, and hurried forward and said: "Father, I beg you to grant the request of His Highness the Third Prince. His Highness the Third Prince also helped Yao'er a big favor that day, and Yaoer could sense the third prince's request." His Highness's sincerity, I think he must be extremely uncomfortable to make such a request."

Li Yan frowned, obviously embarrassed.The queen laughed: "Could it be that Yao'er has secretly agreed to this? An imposing prince, who is unwell, even sent a little maid to fight. Doesn't he despise my majesty?" Li Yao's face turned red immediately up.

Jue Leng hurriedly continued: "Your Majesty, Hu Xian did not intend to offend. He came all the way to Daqian and almost died in the depths of the desert, just to show the sincerity of my northern branch. If Hu Xian was not really sick, he would not dare to Mentioned to His Majesty, it is just that Hu Xian, who is unable to exert his full strength, is disrespectful to His Majesty and the princess in Hu Xian's view. Although Qianyue is a maid, her martial arts are not inferior to Hu Xian. She is my father. The partner I assigned to practice kung fu with me is also extremely talented, and her strength is the closest to Hu Xian's."

Huanrou looked at the man in Tsing Yi in front of him. Although he was wearing a mask, he was extremely elegant. Then he looked at Li Yao. Li Yao's flushed face must be because something the queen said hit her heart.Huanrou didn't know what was wrong with her, but she wanted to speak for that Northern Branch prince named Hu Xian.

"Your Majesty, this competition is originally for the princess to choose a relative. If the princess is willing, it should be harmless. Again, there will be a literary test after this competition. It's okay to let this highness come in person when the time comes." Huanrou said softly .

Li Yan felt happy for a while, it was rare for Concubine Xian to speak up on her own initiative, so naturally this sentiment could not be ignored.

"Well, I will allow you to let your maid replace you."

Li Qianyue secretly smiled, and looked at Jue Leng worriedly. If you want to say when you feel the farthest from Jue Leng, it should be this time, when all you see in Jue Leng's eyes is that woman .

What Li Qianyue drew was a very strong opponent.That was Han Lie, the great general of Yuanjiang Kingdom.Suwen Yuanjiang Kingdom and Beizhi Kingdom are both countries that advocate force. Among them, Han Lie, the general of Yuanjiang Kingdom, is a brave fighter who can fight hundreds with one.Jue Leng also sweated for Li Qianyue, and asked quietly: "Qianyue, are you sure?"

Li Qianyue smiled helplessly, at least, she still knew how to care about herself.

"It's okay, let's see how I deal with him."

"Qianyue, we are just acting this time. You must not let your temper grab the limelight. You must keep a low profile. It is best to lose the game." Jue Leng's voice was faint, and there was a hint of irresistibility.

"I know." Li Qianyue's voice was also extremely cold.

"Then...be careful with everything." Jue Leng still looked at her with concern.At that moment, she felt soft-hearted again, maybe she still has her own in her heart after all.

The battle between Li Qianyue and Han Lie was very exciting. Han Lie is worthy of his martial arts skills, and he has no loopholes in the face of a strong opponent like Li Qianyue who has a trace of divine power.Everyone was amazed and sighed secretly. It seems that Han Lie from Yuanjiang Kingdom must have won the first place in today's martial arts test.

Only Huanrou took a deep breath.This pace...this posture...the aura on this body...that's right, you can't go wrong, this maid named Qianyue is absolutely divine.It's just that this divine power has never been trained.Perhaps, it is the child of a god and a mortal.It is estimated that this child does not know that he has supernatural powers.In fact, according to martial arts, this woman must not be General Han's opponent, but it is precisely because of this woman's kung fu that she has a little supernatural power, so she did not let such a powerful General Han gain the upper hand.And looking closely at the feeling of this divine power, it is very familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere, but I really can't remember where I saw it.

Before Huanrou finished thinking, Li Qianyue had deliberately lost to Han Lie.It's really annoying, it's almost a tie, the comparison is nothing more than who has better stamina, who made the damn Jue Leng have ordered not to win?How good it is to let yourself fight as you like, it's been a long time since I met such a satisfactory opponent, this Han Lie has inspired my desire to fight.

Li Qianyue didn't realize at all that when she did her own way like that, she actually listened to Jue Leng's words so much.

"Okay, okay! It's wonderful, it's wonderful!" Li Yan applauded first. He didn't expect Beizhi to be so powerful. If it wasn't for Hu Xian's illness, Han Lie might not be his opponent.

All the guests also applauded. Sure enough, none of them could beat Han Lie in the following competition.

"How did I behave? Didn't I embarrass our prince?" Li Qianyue asked in a low voice with a smile.

Jue Leng's eyes were also full of smiles: "Very well, thank you Qianyue."

Li Qianyue was unhappy. She worked so hard not to make her thank herself.However, this dull wood would say thank you, and it seems that he is really grateful to himself. Thinking of this, Li Qianyue couldn't help being happy again.

"Today's martial arts test has also ended. You princes and adults have worked hard. I must have seen everyone's performance. My daughter has also noticed it. I also invite you adults to go back to your bedroom to rest. Later, I will let the imperial dining room prepare a rich meal." The food will be delivered to your bedroom. Tomorrow, there will be a literary test, and the test questions will be given by the little girl herself, and I hope that the princes and adults will attend the meeting on time." Li Yan's eyes are full of smiles, today's martial arts contest, let He has also witnessed the strength of various countries. If Yao'er can choose a good husband, it will be even more beautiful.

Jue Leng just stood there blankly, seeing the emperor walking away with Huan Rou.She was wearing a mask, but Huanrou really didn't recognize herself.That's right, after so long, how can Huanrou dare to look forward to it?I have looked forward to countless times, but have been severely hurt by reality. It is better to be strong without desire.

"Hello." Li Qianyue shook Jue Leng's arm. Seeing that Jue Leng didn't respond, she shook Jue Leng's arm harder, and her voice raised a bit: "Hi!!!"

Jue Leng was taken aback, only to recover, and looked at Li Qianyue helplessly.

"What's wrong?" Jue Leng sighed.

"You have seen her, why are you still downcast? Do you know how eye-catching your sight is, today you patronize her, you don't even know, that princess has looked at you several times. If you do this again, She will definitely find out!" Li Qianyue was inexplicably angry as she spoke, and she didn't know whether she felt that Jue Leng made them unsafe, or...or was she jealous?

"Oh." Jue Leng replied blankly, then left with his head down sadly.

Li Qianyue looked at her back and smiled self-deprecatingly, it turned out that she was really passionate.The absolute cold she knows has always been indifferent, and she is very measured in everything, but seeing the absolute cold now, she knows what it is like to truly love someone.In just a few hours, she could see Jue Leng's heart go from indifference to boiling to sadness to despair.Watching the emperor leave with the person he loves the most, the feeling should be like cutting a knife on her body, it will make her feel extremely painful.Li Qianyue's eyes turned red just thinking about it, this fool, can't he take good care of himself?

Jue Leng was just in a daze and depressed in the dormitory, and Li Qianyue didn't dare to disturb her, for fear of saying something wrong again, which would make her even more sad.

"Light Moon..." Jue Leng murmured.

Li Qianyue was startled, she thought that Jue Leng would never talk to herself at this time.

"what happened?"

"You said...you said...you said that tonight, the emperor will sleep with her?" gray.

Li Qianyue sighed, if she said no, who was she lying to?This so-called Concubine Xian, who was able to participate in such an important marriage recruitment conference as a concubine, must have an unusual relationship with the emperor, and judging from the emperor's demeanor, he loved Concubine Xian very much.Therefore, no one will believe that they have nothing.

"Then let me ask you, what if, what if she sleeps with you?"

Jue Leng's eyes immediately turned red, and she didn't know which nerve was touched, she almost shouted: "Then I love her too, she was forced, I'm sorry for her, I didn't come sooner!"

When she roared, both of them were stunned.

When Jue Leng realized it, he sadly apologized to Li Qianyue: "I'm sorry Qianyue, I'm not scolding you, I just hate myself. If I could come earlier..."

Li Qianyue sighed, she had never seen such absolute coldness.She couldn't imagine what kind of suffering Jue Leng was suffering at this time, yes, how much should Jue Leng hate herself?

"Don't be like this. At this moment, you should find a way to see her. Only by recognizing her can you take her out. What's the use of hating yourself here? If the selection meeting is over, The princess chooses you to be her son-in-law. The two of you are close to each other, and it will be terrible if the princess finds out in the future. If the princess doesn’t choose you to be her son-in-law, after the selection banquet, at most you will last until the princess’s son-in-law gets married. , you are going out of the palace too. Instead of lamenting and mourning, it is better to find a way." Li Qianyue herself couldn't believe that this was what she said... Even Jue was stunned when she heard it coldly.

That's right, I have to regain my sanity. Not being forceful means that I can only outsmart him. First of all, I have to find a way to get close to Huanrou, otherwise I am in a hurry, and Huanrou has no choice.After all, Huanrou has been in the palace for so long, and she is familiar with the palace, and Huanrou is at least favored, maybe she has some privileges that can help them escape.

Absolutely calm down, you must first think of a way.

Huanrou stayed up all night again, looking at Li Yan beside her, her arms were already around his neck.As long as he works hard, as long as he works hard enough, he may be able to get out of this never-ending nightmare.But when she thought that if the emperor died suddenly like this, and the crown prince was not established, the world would probably be in chaos again, and many people would be displaced. Worry about the child who later became miserable.

She slowly lowered the hand around Li Yan's neck.The moonlight is so bright tonight, she feels that she is killing herself bit by bit.Perhaps no one in the world understands the words "heart has turned to ashes" better than her.
