The two of them were just about to get off the roof when they heard footsteps in the distance. It was indeed Mu Wan Ning.

"That's it." The slave girl received Mu Wan Ning's reward and quickly left.

Mu Wan Ning was lying on the window and didn't hear anything. What she wanted now was Ruan Mianmian's life so that she could become the royal concubine.

Otherwise, all planning will be in vain.

She motioned to the maid to take action, but for some reason she suddenly felt a pain in her neck, and she and the maid both fainted.

Ruan Mianmian saw Xiao Wujiu's quick action, so he hid the silver needle in his hand. Just as he was about to jump down, he remembered that he could not expose his martial arts skills.

Then he smiled at Xiao Wujiu.

Originally, he thought that Xiao Wu would come back and lift her off.

Who knew that Xiao Wujiu suddenly opened his hands and motioned for her to jump down.

Ruan Mianmian hesitated for a moment, wondering if this would be a bit too ambiguous.

At this moment, another maid ran over from a distance.

Ruan Mianmian's heart skipped a beat and she jumped directly into a strong embrace. Before she could react, she was put on the ground.

The two looked at each other and pulled Mu Wan Ning into the shadow of the trees in a tacit understanding.

The palace maid pushed the door open and said, "Your Highness, the person is not found."

Xiao Yu said calmly, "How about forget it, I...I don't dare."

It sounds like he is very reluctant, as if he would never come here if it were not forced by the people behind him.

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he rushed out of the door.

The palace maid cursed behind him, "What a coward."

Xiao Yu kept walking, but re-outlined the image of the palace maid in his mind. After writing it down, the corners of his evil lips twitched slightly.

The adults had all left. Xiao Wujiu was about to throw the person into the warm pavilion, but was stopped by Ruan Mianmian.

Since Xiao Yu is unwilling, she will help him!
Xiao Wujiu felt better inexplicably when he saw Miss Ruan's evil smile.

……

Jinming Lakeside
Several figures swayed there sadly, and after a while, a scream suddenly came from the lake.

The palace people haven't had time to pass.

I heard two splashes of water falling into the water.

As soon as they ran up to them, they saw Xiao Yu jumping down too.

The palace people were not anxious anymore. This eighth prince was extremely unpopular. Now that the weather was cold and the lake was icy, no one would blame them even if they failed to rescue him in time.

When everyone rowed out of the lake and approached the man who fell into the water, they discovered that King Mian was also in the lake.

Everyone hurriedly shouted for help and rushed to rescue him.

The palace people on the shore hurriedly ran back to Lingyun Palace to report.

The emperor became anxious upon hearing this and led everyone in a hurry to the lake.

When everyone arrived, they saw King Mian holding Princess Beiman, Xiao Yu next to Mu Wanning, and the four of them were soaked!

The emperor felt relieved instantly, and soon changed to an anxious expression, "Send the imperial physician to see how King Mian is doing."

King Mian felt something was wrong at this time, and he hugged Princess Beiman tightly and wouldn't let go.

The Northern Barbarians were good at riding and shooting, but they also knew how to drink water. After a while, they choked and lost consciousness. This situation was even more dangerous.

King Mian held on and refused to let go, and the imperial doctor was also anxious, which seemed even more strange in the eyes of everyone.

Ruan Mianmian had already blended into the crowd. The silver needle in her hand flicked towards King Mian's elbow. After just a touch, King Mian's hand was released.

Everyone rushed to rescue him, and a palace banquet ended in a hurry.

……

Huangji Palace "Your Majesty, King Mian must never marry the Northern Barbarian princess."

The emperor's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"The people of the Northern Barbarians are fierce and will not care about this."

Concubine Yu wiped away her tears and signaled General Yu Jiang to speak.

The main reason why King Mian and Concubine Yu are so loved by His Majesty is because of General Yu Jiang who conquered the West.

Most of the counties and counties in the southwest of Jingguo were in the hands of Yu Jiang, and his [-] troops who conquered the west also regarded him as a god.

Yu Jiang bowed his head and saluted, "King Mian has already been engaged. If the engagement is invalidated at this time, I may break the trust of others."

Suddenly a cold and arrogant voice came from outside the palace, "A few days ago, the daughter of the Minister of Hubu fell into the water and was rescued by the prince of Huainan. The prince had to have the engagement broken off and married another daughter of the minister. This matter spread throughout the capital. But to invalidate it when it comes to the prince, wouldn’t this make the world laugh at you?”

Queen Luo was dressed extremely solemnly and wore a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, as if she was deliberately showing off her status.

She is the master of the harem, and her consent is required for any major wedding.

"King Kemian..." Yu Jiang couldn't say any more. The emperor never promised Prince Mian the position of prince, but everyone tacitly agreed.

But this cannot be said openly.

"As for Miss Muda, she lost her virginity to two princes one after another. It's really hard for her to live in a refined society, so let her go to the temple to repair herself."

The emperor and Yu Jiang nodded in unison, who cared where she went.

"Queen, it's better not to let King Mian marry two at once. The Northern Barbarian Princess won't be willing either."

"The princess is of high status, so naturally she doesn't want to. Just ask King Mian to break off the engagement and then get engaged to the princess."

"But the princess is greedy for the King of England. If she marries King Mian, I'm afraid the brothers will start fighting each other."

"King Mian and the Northern Barbarian Princess fell into the lake, their clothes were wet, and they were still hugging each other. Everyone saw it. The King of England would never marry the Northern Barbarian Princess. What's more, if this were the case, the Northern Barbarian Princess wouldn't be able to marry him. If you are willing to marry, where will King Mian's face go, and where will Jingguo's face go in the future?"

This sentence is so important!

If King Mian wants to ascend the throne as emperor in the future, but has a past of being rejected by the Northern Barbarian princess, it will be a big loss for Jingguo.

Concubine Yu was choked by the queen, and she couldn't think of anything to say in reply.

"If we let King Mian and King Ying compete, the winner will have a decent reputation whether he marries the princess or not."

If King Mian wins, not only will the initiative be on their side, but they can also establish a good reputation for themselves. Why not!
The emperor pondered for a moment and nodded, leaving it to Ruan Qian.

"Prime Minister Luo has retired and returned to his hometown. It stands to reason that Ruan Qian will take over the post of Prime Minister and take office immediately, so that all the children in the capital can participate."

Everyone no longer had any reason to object and returned to the palace.

……

Ruan Mianmian learned the news from Huo Gan. The Ruan family didn't know what they were busy with, and no one told her about it.

"Then you also want to participate?"

Huo Gan shook his head firmly, "I'm just a playboy, so I won't join in the fun."

"The Duke of Zhen also agrees?"

"My grandfather is very tolerant and will definitely not let Qi go into this muddy water."

Ruan Mianmian looked at the almost-renovated restaurant and made a decision.

The next day, the news of Huajianlou's bet spread throughout the capital.

Legend has it that first the young prince of the Zhenguo family went to live there with a group of his friends.

Then King Qianqiu, Minister Qiu of the Ministry of Personnel, and Governor Mu of Nanhai also participated one after another.

In the end, even the sixth and seventh princesses in the palace sent people to place bets.

The entrance to Huajianlou is crowded every day, but no one is allowed in.

The less people were allowed to enter, the more people's interest was aroused. Gradually, in addition to guessing who would win, the capital also began to discuss what had become inside the Huajian Building.
