Sophie pursed her lips and smiled, and said in a strange way: "King Xuan seems to be very protective of Shangguan Ruoli. It would be a good story if a blind man and a cripple can fly together."

Nanyun Yao'er said coldly: "Stop talking sarcastically, Prince Xuan is my princess's man!"

Sophie sneered, "Oh~, you really have the nerve to say that you are your man? Didn't you just use a beauty trick to let him see your body? Besides, you were not naked at the time, so why did you become yours?

A man now?"

"How did you know?" Nanyun Yao'er's face turned cold. How did Sophie find out about such a private matter?

Her expression showed that Sophie was right. Sophie chuckled proudly and left with the maid.

The men and women who passed by and overheard this conversation all looked at him with mocking eyes.

Nan Yun Yao'er gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly, looking at the pair of lovers holding each other in front of her, she murmured with red eyes: "There is nothing that this princess can't get!"

Shangguan Ruoli didn't feel so comfortable being held by Dongming Ziyu. Even though she pretended to be blind, she noticed the strange looks around her.

However, Dongming Ziyu is such a cold person, but his palms are very warm. Well, his lips are also very soft...

Bah! Shangguan Ruoli shook his head in a hurry to shake off the scene in the carriage.

Dongming Ziyu saw her cheeks were slightly red and she was shaking her head vigorously. He felt that she was very...cute, and the curve of her lips could not help but soften.

The ceremonial competition was held in a pavilion on a large lake in the center of the courtyard. There were large lotus flowers planted in the lake. Lotus leaves were in the fields, and lotus flowers of various shapes swayed in the breeze and created their fragrance.

It’s true: the lotus leaves touching the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are exceptionally red!

The waterside pavilion is very large, with a row of long tables in the middle, which should serve as a podium.

There is a passage in the middle, where men and women sit on two sides, facing the podium.

Many people were already bustling in the waterside pavilion. When they saw Dongming Ziyu holding Shangguan Ruoli's hand and walking slowly towards him, they all whispered to each other and had complicated eyes.

Shangguan Tianxiao's face was even more ugly. His own emerald white jade cabbage couldn't just be destroyed in the hands of this evil king who looked at it and saw no use for it!

Shangguan Ruoli wanted to take his hand out of Dongming Ziyu's hand, but he held him tighter.

I rolled my eyes in my heart, is this guy showing off his affection?

In this era, men and women are strictly guarded against each other, and even unmarried couples holding hands in such a grand manner is not etiquette.

Those noble ladies looked at Shangguan Ruoli with complicated eyes, showing envy, jealousy, disdain and indifference.

Dongming Ziyu sent her to her seat, then walked towards the long table in front of her and sat down.

Is this guy still a judge?

Shangguan Ruoli frowned slightly, this man was so domineering and arrogant. If he didn't agree to break off the engagement, I'm afraid her winning the first place would be in vain.

"Hey! Little blind man!" Zheng Shuyue sat next to her and put an arm on her shoulder, "Okay, you are quite scheming."

Shangguan Ruoli's heart skipped a beat, thinking she was talking about the luncheon, so he said calmly: "I am a stupid person with stupid luck, I just walked into the wrong room."

Zheng Shuyue rolled her eyes at her and whispered: "Pretend! Look at the eyes of those ladies, they almost want to eat you."

After saying this, he realized that Shangguan Ruoli couldn't see, so he smiled awkwardly, "I forgot that you can't see."

"What's wrong?" Shangguan Ruoli smiled nonchalantly and looked around casually. The eyes of those women were indeed strange.

Isn't it because Dongming Ziyu shows affection?

Rejoice also noticed it and said with a smile: "Perhaps they saw that the young lady wore nice clothes in the morning and changed into plain clothes, but they didn't expect that the young lady is now wearing such gorgeous clothes, and she is still the most eye-catching."

Uh! When Shangguan Ruoli saw that the ladies were indeed dressed in plain colors, they looked fresh and fresh.

It's unfair, this is really not a conspiracy, it's purely a coincidence!

The prince, several concubines, and the prince came, introduced a few judges, and then announced the start of the competition.

The Emperor and the Queen did not come, and of course Dongming Yuehua, Beiling Moxue, Xu Jingxuan and Prime Minister Xu also did not come.

The judges include the prince, Dongming Ziyu, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Rites and two famous Confucian scholars in the world.

There were not as many people participating in the competition as expected. Most of them were young men and young ladies who just wanted to show their faces in front of the superiors and look for opportunities to rise to the top.

Etiquette has been learned by these noble children since childhood. Although the competition is fierce, there are no ups and downs.

Shangguan Ruoli watched the changes quietly, with empty eyes, enjoying the scenery of the lake against the afternoon breeze.

There was such a fuss at the luncheon, even if she picked it very cleanly, the emperor and the queen would not believe that it had nothing to do with her.

They would not think that Dongming Yuehua deserved her crime, they would just think that she was bold enough to plot against the princess, and they would definitely try to take revenge on her.

She herself was not afraid of anything, except that she was afraid that they would attack the men of the Shangguan family. They were in the court and had no control over things, and they were hard to guard against, both openly and secretly.

Shangguan Ruoli sighed slightly, living here is so damn tiring, I really want to go back to modern times!

How wonderful the modern world is, just ignore whoever you don’t want to deal with. Just fall in love with anyone you meet, and if you don’t like it, go your separate ways. You don’t have to kneel down when you meet any leader...

"Shangguan Ruoli~"

Shangguan Ruoli was wandering in the sky when he heard someone calling his name.

He sneered in his heart, knowing that these little Bichi would not let him go.

How could Nanyun Yaoer and his ilk miss this opportunity to run against Shangguan Ruoli openly and openly?

Sophie smiled softly and said: "Miss Shangguan, the competition is coming to an end, why don't you come out to answer the questions? Is it because you don't want to marry Prince Xuan and abstain from voting?"

Shangguan Ruoli stared at a pair of cross-necked mandarin ducks on the water in the distance, and said calmly: "The winner can make a request to the emperor. What does it have to do with whether or not to marry Prince Xuan? In Miss Su's eyes, marriage and her husband are the two

A gamble?"

Sophie's face darkened, she bit her bright red lips lightly, and said shyly, "But this is what we agreed on that day."

Shangguan Ruoli smiled softly: "Who made the agreement with you? My marriage to His Highness Prince Xuan is a marriage granted by the Emperor. How can you change it just by waiting for a few jokes? Miss Su, are you not following the imperial edict of Emperor Dongming?

Are you serious?"

"I didn't..." Sophie choked, "Since you don't want to participate, forget it, why do you need to be aggressive?"

Nanyun Yao'er sneered coldly and said: "Don't want to participate? It's probably because there is no etiquette in her eyes, right?"

Sophie said angrily: "Princess Nanyun, please don't say that. Miss Shangguan can't see anything. There is nothing in her eyes."

The last sentence is full of irony.

"That's it. No wonder you don't understand any etiquette, justice or shame. How can you still live after being ruined like that in a brothel? Do you want me to teach you what the Three True Virtue Nine Lies are?" Nanyun Yao'er walked with her waist swaying lightly.

When he came over, the jade rings around his waist collided with each other, making a soft and crisp sound, which was very pleasant to the ear.
