The concubine is on top: the cute prince, get down

Chapter 174 Contestants

I don't know who started to yell, and everyone looked at the entrance, only to see the ten people who were more conspicuous in front leading a large group of people coming here.

Strangely, nine of these ten people were middle-aged men, and only one was a young man, who seemed to be only in his twenties.

The man was outstanding and very eye-catching, and the other nine people seemed to be trying to curry favor with the young man.

No matter what the person next to him said, the man always had a polite smile, giving him enough face.

And the person next to him seemed to be satisfied, and stopped talking in moderation after finishing speaking.

People from the top ten families came to the assigned seats one after another. The ten were sitting in front of the ring just now. The reason why they were arranged here was also a recognition of their strength.

"Master Nangong, I wonder if my father is in good health recently?" Ou Yangguang finally got involved with the Patriarch of Nangong, because it was Nangong Yu who appeared as the representative of the Nangong family these few times. It is normal for Ou Yangguang to feel strange because of this. of.

Nangong Yu frowned, and a light flashed in his eyes, but he still replied calmly: "I have a heart, my father has been doing well recently."

Then he shut up and stopped talking about this topic, and Ou Yangguang also shut up embarrassingly.

The other eight patriarchs also held a trace of a joke in their hearts. Among the ten aristocratic families, none of them knew that the distance between the Nangong family and them was not 01:30, but Ou Yangguang always wanted to It's wishful thinking to surpass the Nangong family!
They didn't speak any more, they had almost achieved consciousness, and they didn't dare to touch the bad head again. Now, no one can see that Nangong Yu exudes the aura of not being close to strangers.

Nangong Yu still had a smile on his face, but it was so cold that people dare not look directly at it.

Time passed bit by bit, and most of the ministers also arrived, but they still haven't seen the protagonist of this competition, neither the prince nor the prince was there.

Everyone began to speculate, but before they started discussing, the voice from the other side came over, "The emperor is here—!"

"The envoy of Yangyin Kingdom has arrived!"

"The envoy of Fengluo Kingdom has arrived!"

Everyone did not expect that they would come to this venue together. Nalan Haopeng walked in the front, and out of etiquette, Feng Chengyan and Yin Xi were a little behind.

Many ministers followed, including ministers from the three countries.

Nalan Hao Peng walked to his seat and did not sit down immediately, but smiled politely at the two, "Please."

Then he sat down and put his hands on his knees.

Feng Chengyan and Yin Xi, who were representatives of the other two countries, smiled and sat next to Nalan Haopeng respectively. Looking at it this way, both the royal family and the representatives of the world had already arrived.

Su Qingyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, was the one who presided over the competition. He stood on the ring with a calm expression, looked at the sun to confirm that the time was almost there, then cleared his throat and said, "There is still a quarter of an hour before the start of the competition. Please join us." The contestants go straight to the ring."

He has already complained in his heart for countless times, and he doesn't know what kind of trouble Nalan Hao Peng has had to let him host. You must know that this is what he is not good at, and these things are obviously managed by the Ministry of Rites. , has half a dime relationship with their criminal department?
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience around him began to feel agitated. He casually scanned around but didn't find the person he was looking for. , so far he has not been able to find a chance to meet their young mistress.

This person is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment that Jiang Jingshu mentioned to Yun Xiangchu not long ago, and he is also one of the top officials of the Xuanjing League. Due to his status, he has not been back to their headquarters for a long time.

Because the relationship was very tense recently, and he didn't dare to act rashly, that's why he had no chance to see Yun Xiangchu until now.

While muttering in his heart, he paid attention to the people who were going to play.

This first round was so grand, which shows that everyone attaches great importance to this competition.

As we all know, the royal family members will participate in the first match, so upon hearing Su Qingyi's words, Feng Chengyan and Yin Xibian have already stood up slowly, and they will fight in the first match. Anyway, the battle is a bit big point.

"Your Majesty Yun Ni, I'll excuse you first." Feng Chengyan nodded slightly to Nalan Hao Peng and jumped towards the ring, but Yin Xi also smiled at him as a greeting and flew towards the ring.

Nalan Hao Peng looked at the two of them with a gloomy face. He had already received news that they would participate in the first competition, so he was already prepared in his heart, but even so he was still a little unwilling.

Almost all the Nalan family was eliminated by him, and there was no suitable candidate for the battle. The only way to let the sick son go up to the battle. It's better to admit defeat directly.

It's just that Nalan Hao Peng didn't think about the difference between letting Nalan Zihan go up and letting Jiang Jingshu go up.A son who has been weak and sick since he was a child can't change anything after all.

Both contestants from the Three Kingdoms have already gone up, because there are three people, so to be fair, we can only use the form of drawing lots to decide which two people will be the first confrontation.

It was less than half a quarter of an hour before the start time, why didn't they wait for Yun Ni's representative to come out?

Because apart from the core figures of the Three Kingdoms who knew who was going to compete in the first match, the others didn't know who was going to fight, so they subconsciously thought that it would be Yunni's only prince, Nalan Jiming, who would go up to fight.

I didn't have too much hope for this first game, so many of Yun Ni's people looked dispirited.

Gongsun Li, who was sitting in front of Nalan Hao Peng and his group on the left side, was a little anxious when he saw that none of them, Yun Ni, came out. He turned his head, stood up, bowed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I don't know if this is..."

Since the last time when Gongsun Li suggested that Nalan Hao Peng go directly to the dignitary of Prince Ming's Mansion, he has been maintaining a low-key stance, for fear that any action he made would make Nalan Hao Peng unhappy.

Originally, he really followed Nalan Hao Peng's order to get information from Ming Wang's Mansion, but he didn't want Yun Xiangchu's light words to make him leave embarrassingly.

"Prime Minister Gongsun is really free, and I'm flattered that he even came to visit in person..." She paused and said, "I have already reported the latest news to the emperor."

To this day, he still remembers that after Yun Xiangchu said these two sentences, he leisurely picked up a cup of tea, and then said to the butler beside her, "Seeing off the guests."

At that time, Gongsun Li almost ran away in anger. How had anyone treated him like this, not only ignoring him, but also directly issuing an order to evict him.

So after the embarrassment in Prince Ming's Mansion, he stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion and did not come out. He was afraid that he would accidentally touch someone's head. Now he is not qualified enough, so he can only endure.

Nalan Hao Peng raised his head and glanced at him, "Prime Minister Gongsun, don't worry too much, just wait."

He didn't seem to want to say more, he just replied lazily and I ignored Gongsun Li.

Gongsun Li gritted his teeth, held back the displeasure in his heart, and sat back in his seat, while Feng Chenjun, who was sitting across from Nalan Hao Peng, gave them a meaningful glance, then quickly lowered his head .

Yun Ni's representative came late when there was less than a stick of incense left. The person who came was extremely low-key, dressed in a white robe, and shrugged his shoulders from time to time while walking, as if trying to suppress something.

Seeing Yun Ni's representative appearing like this, everyone became worried, and they didn't know why the emperor let such a sick person play.

When he saw Nalan Zihan walking out, Nalan Hao Peng remembered that there seemed to be someone who was not there. Where is Nalan Jiming?Why didn't you come over?

With a gloomy face, he said to Eunuch Liu who was standing next to him: "Where is Prince Ming? Why hasn't he come over yet?"

Eunuch Liu was taken aback for a moment, and then he came to his senses. He looked at the seat directly in front of Nalan Hao Peng. There was exactly the seat reserved for Jiang Jingshu, but both seats were empty.

He frowned slightly, not quite sure what was wrong with Jiang Jingshu.

"Slave, let's go and see what's going on." With Nalan Haopeng's permission, he hurried outside.

But before he ran out, there was another commotion from the entrance.

"Ah! Look quickly, that's Lord Ming!"

"That's right, why didn't Lord Ming come on stage?"

"The person standing on the ring now seems to be the prince Zihan who has lived in seclusion for many years."

……

Maybe someone recognized Nalan Zihan, so they shouted in the crowd, and then everyone knew that this weak man was actually the son of Zihan.

But how could the emperor think of letting Zihan's son fight?Judging by his sickly appearance, it seems impossible to win, right?It would be more likely to let Prince Ming go up.

Everyone looked at Jiang Jingshu who was slowly walking in from the entrance, and shook their heads involuntarily, as expected, it still didn't work.

Jiang Jingshu didn't do anything at this time, he just walked in quietly with Yun Xiangchu. He himself didn't expect that he would cause a sensation when he came in. Then he looked at the ring and realized that it was all because of Nalan Zihan s reason.

Everyone would more or less compare him with Nalan Zihan, he looked at Nalan Zihan worriedly, "Ah Han..."

Yun Xiangchu glanced at him, and found that he was looking in the direction of the ring worriedly, patted his shoulder and said in a low voice, "It's okay, you idiot, it's not like you don't know his strength, and... I see that The guy doesn't want to fight either."

Jiang Jingshu knew about Nalan Zihan's strength, but he was just worried, which is why he was so uneasy at this time.
