Lord Lan

Chapter 39

Yan Hongxi took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, "Now that the marriage between the Princess and the Seventh Prince has been terminated, there is nothing and anyone who can use it to measure, trade, or bind, so the only thing left between the proud monarch and King Su is The relationship between the monarch and his ministers is so pitiful. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers! After a long time, the princess will naturally know how to develop in the future..."

Su Julan hesitated slightly, Yan Hongxi raised the corners of his lips, "If the princess becomes my man, then the relationship between King Su and Lord Ao will rise to the level of diplomatic relations between the two countries, no matter how small it is, it is by no means a trivial matter."

Although I hate this assumption, I have to admit that what he said is somewhat reasonable.

Su Julan bent her fingers and tapped lightly on the tea table. After thinking for a while, she suddenly smiled: "Yin Yueguo's direct relative seized the throne? Is it the crown prince's father, or some uncle who can't hold back?"

Her dark red eyes were clear and bright, Yan Hongxi looked at it with a "hehe" smile and said: "It seems that I have to tell the truth, otherwise the princess will blame the prince for not being honest! To be honest, yes My next Uncle Nine Emperors, he is ten years older than me, so his power naturally expanded earlier! About one-third of Yin Yueguo's power is now controlled by him, and what I have cultivated in my hands is not even his. Not even half of the…”

Su Julan smiled and said, "The marriage between you and me doesn't seem to help your throne much except to improve your diplomatic status?"

Yan Hongxi smiled and said: "The marriage is only to prevent someone from rebelling in advance. The infancy Bai Chicheng has a weak foundation, and its rise is slow, and it will attract the attention of the royal family if there is a slight sign. How can the arrogant monarch allow Bai Chicheng to grow up as an independent force? As for this prince, the power that can be won in Yinyue Country is limited and must be cultivated outside! This prince heard that the Lord Lan said the day before yesterday that as long as he enters Baichi City, he is a legal citizen, and even if thousands of troops come to attack, he will protect every grass here. One tree and one person?"

Su Julan held her chin, and said with a faint smile, "I don't know when the crown prince has set up eyes and ears beside the princess?" Under the eyelashes fluttering slightly like butterfly wings, there are beautiful eyes full of affection, but for no reason, A chilling murderous cover.

Knowing that his move would definitely annoy her, Yan Hongxi replied with a smile on his face: "I did this wrong, how about I owe the Princess a favor?"

Su Julan was neither sullen nor angry, and said with a smile: "The favor of the leader of this group is not so easy to repay."

"Although owed life is easy to owe favors and troubles, there is no favor in this world that this prince can't afford." With his tone, should he be praised for his self-confidence and doubts and dismissed as conceited? "Since the princess dared to say this, he must have in his heart to cultivate Bai Chicheng into his own power."

Su Julan raised her eyebrows, it seems that the nickname "Fox" was not given for him by others!
Yan Hongxi smiled and said: "Actually, it should be said... that Bai Chicheng has the right time, place and people, so I have to think of going with Princess Lan! Su Julan, I can do my best to support you. As a condition, you must Do your best to help me!"

"I think this deal is good." Su Julan broke the brief silence and said with a smile: "But I don't like the way of marriage. If you really rebel, you and I don't seem to be merciful..."

Yan Hongxi crossed his arms, rubbed his chin and muttered: "This prince's appearance is not bad, and he has all the money and power. In your eyes, you don't want to give it away for nothing? Could it be that the princess still has the same heart for her former fiancé?"

When mentioning Ao Chushang, she stared at his sneering smile and smiled lightly, "Is he worthy of such a person?"

Yan Hongxi finally saw it, the indifference and contempt hidden behind this smile.

Stretching his hand into his bosom, a blood-colored jade ring was thrown over immediately, "Since Princess Lan thinks the method of marriage is inappropriate, I will do as you please. But verbal promises are unbelievable, so tokens must be exchanged to sign a contract! Princess Lan, your golden-winged Where's the tassel?"

Su Julan held the blood jade and casually fiddled with it, raised her eyebrows, "Although it's a good piece of jade, the price doesn't seem to be comparable to my gold hairpin?"

"..." The smile on the corner of Yan Hongxi's mouth finally shattered a lot, "Master Lan's golden wings and tassels are unparalleled in the world, but this prince's blood ring is also unique, almost..."

"That's fine," Su Julan took out one of the golden-winged tassels from his bosom.

Yan Hongxi took it into his arms, replaced the wine with tea, and raised his lips slightly, "It's a happy cooperation."

Walking slowly along the winding steps to the palace gate, Su Julan turned directly across the hall and went back to her room to wash and change clothes.

Wan Yue picked up the cloth shirt she had shed, while Qiao Chu stood behind the screen with the shirt in his hands, watching her twist her long wet hair until it was half dry, and then stepped forward to dress her.

Qiao Chu thought to himself: Miss Si has indeed changed.Where is the variable?She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized that the fourth young lady in front of her was no longer the vulgar and talented person she used to be, and the immature greenness faded from her beautiful face, revealing a trace of indifference.

Not only her, but even the calm and self-reliant Wan Yue watched Su Julan walk out from behind the screen, and couldn't hide her surprise. The black hair, porcelain snow skin, and golden Huasheng were intertwined, which really made people feel, what is it? The true meaning of the four words "shocked as heaven and man"!

As soon as the supplies from the palace arrived, the impoverished city lord was the first to be rescued.The extravagant twelve palace lanterns made the study as bright as day. As soon as Su Julan entered the study, someone saluted her: "Master Lan, my subordinates have been waiting for a long time. In view of the special situation of the princess, targeted training is necessary. , This is a practice plan tailor-made for the princess, and I ask the princess to look it over."

Looking at the tongue-twisting thick scroll in his hand, Su Julan walked around the long table and sat down calmly. Just as she was reaching out to take the scroll from Qiaochu, a small red head popped out from her cuff, and she quickly pulled her hand back to her wrist. , one end of the scroll rolled straight down, the longer and longer it rolled, and the densely packed text could not be seen at a glance.

The maids covered their mouths and gasped.

Pei Yishi stood upright, with an attitude that had nothing to do with him.

There was no more expression on Su Julan's face. She just took the scrolls handed over by the maids again, looked at them roughly, and said with a smile: "Continental history? Four studies? Legal studies? Arithmetic studies? Calligraphy studies? Do you have swords, martial arts, or art?"

Pei Yi said indifferently: "Returning to the princess, these are the assessment subjects of Xuanyuan College. The assessment is divided into three categories, with a full score of [-]. The first category is the compulsory mainland history and four subjects, accounting for [-] points. The second category It is the basic class, which takes up [-] points, and you can choose one subject from law, mathematics, and calligraphy. The third class takes up [-] points, practical combat, and chooses the future development direction according to the examinee's intention. The sword is a swordsman, and the martial arts is a martial arts Zun and Shu are the masters, and so on. The total score of the three subjects must exceed [-], and each subject must score more than half, in order to be eligible to be recognized by Xuanyuan College."

"This assessment is quite strict..." Su Julan smiled, with an indifferent expression, and said while winding up the scroll: "But I let you go to work for nothing. The princess doesn't need to prepare these things."
