Chapter 95: Selected (1)
The courtesan competition ended, and several companies were happy and sad. After losing to Xiao Xiao, not only did they not feel depressed, but the scenery was even more prosperous. Lianyue Tower was almost full of every day. For the sake of silver, the madam did not force Lanying to pick up customers, but made her live a comfortable life with delicious food and drink. With her song Yanwu, Lianyue Tower was full of money. Lanying was slow to pick up customers, but instead raised her price. Some people estimated that she would not want to get Lanying's Chuye. If this continues, the madam didn't want her to pick up customers early, hoping to sell it at a higher price.
The day for Princess Caiyan to choose the princess consort was finally settled. It was held in the Palace Square ten days later. It is said that the civil and military exams will be divided into two exams. As for how to take the exam, there is no decision yet. The exam is divided into two rounds. Any VIP invited by the Kingdom of Dian can be exempted from the exam and enter the second round. The rest must pass the first round before entering the next round. For a time, the entire Yunnan Kyoto was talking about the incident of the princess choosing the princess consort. Fortunately, everyone is in order to maintain their identity, and the public security in the Yunnan Kyoto is relatively calm.
Guo Huai had long seen that Changfeng stayed in Dianjing and was definitely not trying to choose a prince consort. The person he cared about was the newly elected courtesan girl Xiao Xiao. Changfeng had been there several times in a row, and he returned without success every time. However, Changfeng did not give up. He must check this matter clearly and could not give up halfway.
Five days have passed, and Duan Caiyan has not found Nalan Piaoxue's name on the list of the prince-consorts who signed up for election. She is almost anxious, but Duan Xin has issued an order to let her move into the palace, restricting her freedom and preventing her from going out to see Changfeng. I would like to ask what happened.
Even Du Shiniang was moved by Changfeng's perseverance. She kept creating opportunities for Changfeng and persuaded Xiao Xiao not to let Changfeng down from time to time. Xiao Xiao knew in her heart that this young master Nalan was not coming to redeem her for her, but wanted to know the secret in her heart, and the secret she had vowed that she could not tell, so she was also embarrassed. Through the observations over the past few days, she also saw that Changfeng was not a person with ulterior motives. He neither threatened her nor used her strongly. He just asked her the same question every day, and if he didn't get the answer, he would leave sadly. She didn't know whether she told Changfeng whether she was right or wrong, but she absolutely could not violate her oath, so she dragged on it.
Duan Caiyan could no longer sit still. Today was eight days, and the man still ran to Xinlefang every day, without any intention of running for the prince-consort. She could not wait any longer. She wanted to go and ask him in person why he treated her like this. Doesn’t he understand his affection for him?
In the middle of the night, she fainted and the palace maid who served her. She secretly wore Ye Xingyi and planned to go out of the palace. Before she could take a step, she heard a majestic voice behind her, saying: "Yan'er, where are you going?"
Duan Caiyan was full of excitement. This was the voice of her father. How could her father know that she was going to sneak out of the palace tonight? There was no choice but to turn around, lower her head, look at Duan Xin, the current king of Dian Kingdom, with aggrieved voice, and called softly: "Father."
Duan Xin said angrily: "You know there is a father. In two days, you will choose a prince consort. If you choose a prince consort, you will get married. Why are you still so willful? Haven't the punishment enough for what happened two years ago?"
"Father." Duan Caiyan looked at her father with tears in her eyes and said, "Can you give your daughter a chance to win happiness?"
To be honest, Duan Xin was so reluctant to let her command the falcon, but there was no way. He was just such a daughter. Dian Kingdom had to rely on her to inherit it. Wen Zhen had always coveted the throne of the king of Dian Kingdom. If there was no martial arts restraint, the Wen family would have long rebelled. The position of the prince consort of the Wen family was determined to win, and many domestic officials were optimistic about the third brother of the Wen family. In fact, Duan Xin was interested in the martial arts world. The child had no ambition and was honest. Unfortunately, the child fell in love with Wen Xue and could not extricate himself. Therefore, he made a huge decision to openly choose the prince consort on the mainland. I believe that someone could defeat the Wen family. If he could choose someone without a foundation,
A talented man became his son-in-law to help Cai Yan govern the Dian Kingdom. Although he had ambition, he was unable to do so. Perhaps the Dian Kingdom could carry forward Guanda in his hands. This is why he did not stop Duan Caiyan from interacting with Changfeng. This young man was very mysterious, but his outstanding military talent had been initially revealed on the battlefield of Loulan, and there were many outstanding people around him to help him. Regardless of whether he would take his daughter in the future, he would have to take a risk. If he succeeded, the Duan clan of the Dian Kingdom would continue to take power. If it failed, it would be better than his precious daughter being humiliated by the Wen family. He was just for his ambition to make the Wen family bigger. Now he began to regret it.
Duan Xin gently wiped away the tears from his baby's cheeks and said, "Go, the father supports you!"
"Really." Duan Caiyan didn't believe the facts in front of her and said excitedly, "Father, do you really support Caiyan?"
Duan Xin smiled and said, "Silly girl, your father is just a treasure daughter, and your happiness is your father's greatest happiness."
Duan Caiyan completely believed her father's words, turned around happily and was about to walk out.
"Slow down." Duan Xin called her from behind and said, "You give this to him."
When Duan Caiyan saw the token in her father's hand, she immediately felt that the father was the one who loved her the most. This token could save Changfeng from the first round of competition and directly enter the second round. Now she understood that the father was sincerely helping her.
Duan Caiyan disappeared outside the palace wall with tears in her eyes. Duan Xin looked at his daughter's figure as he was getting older, hoping that he would not do anything wrong this time.
Changfeng was still reading the book under the light, and Nongyue sent her to rest. It was so late that they had not officially got married yet, so it was not good to live in a room together.
"Who, what are you?" Niu Gao suddenly shouted, awakening everyone. Changfeng quickly put down the book in his hand, pushed open the door and walked out.
A petite man in black in the yard was confronting Niu Gao. Changfeng recognized the man as Duan Caiyan at first sight, and he was so familiar with those eyes.
Changfeng immediately guessed Duan Caiyan’s purpose, and hurriedly drank Niu Gao and took the person into his room.
Duan Caiyan untied the masked black veil and revealed a beautiful face. After not seeing her for four or five days, she had lost weight a lot. At this time, Duan Caiyan was wearing a night-mounted dress, with delicate curves and exuding a stimulating aura. Changfeng knew her purpose so late, but he could not agree to this matter easily.
So late, it returned to his daughter and came to see him, with the intention of expressing his affection to Changfeng. Duan Caiyan sat down in front of Changfeng. Changfeng stared at her in a daze and said, "It's so late, what do you want to say?"
Duan Caiyan said calmly: "Caiyan only has one sentence."
Changfeng suddenly felt that the air in the room was suffocating and said, "Piaoxue can't be sure for you."
"If Piaoxue says Caiyan doesn't want it, Caiyan wants Mo Changfeng's words." Duan Caiyan stared at Changfeng's silence.
Changfeng was startled and soon felt relieved. She was the princess of Dian Kingdom and wanted to investigate her many ways. This secret could not be hidden from her. She looked at Duan Caiyan and said, "Even Mo Changfeng is not sure if he can give you that sentence."
"Because of Nongyue?" Duan Caiyan wanted to know the answer, but she was not excited at all. She came here tonight and wanted the final answer.
"No." Changfeng answered very affirmatively.
"Xiao Xiao?"
"Not even more."
"My identity?" Duan Caiyan thought that she was a princess, and this identity was indeed discouraged.
Changfeng shook his head and said, "The problem is not with you and who, but with me."
"You, why?" Duan Caiyan said in confusion.
"Do you want to know the reason?" Changfeng asked without answering.
"Caiyan just wants to know the reason!" Duan Caiyan naturally would not give up knowing why.
"Changfeng once rejected a woman, she is about the same identity as you." Changfeng thought for a moment.
"Lou Wuyun?" Duan Caiyan was a little surprised. It turned out that it was because of this reason that she had never thought of this.
"Yes." Changfeng replied calmly.
"Do you don't like her?" Duan Caiyan's curiosity came.
Changfeng recalled that Lou Wuyun was the best choice in terms of talent and beauty. Why did he reject her? He once asked himself this in his heart, but he himself didn't know the answer. It was not that he could answer if he liked or didn't like it, so he replied: "No."
"Then why?" Duan Caiyan asked to the end.
"I don't know." Changfeng shook his head in pain. When he knew that Lou Wuyun was killed by a knife, his heart really hurt.
There was a sudden sound in the room and both of them fell into silence.
"Have you ever liked Caiyan?" Duan Caiyan suddenly plucked up the courage and asked carefully.
Changfeng looked up at Duan Caiyan. He saw that she was nervous about the answer, so Changfeng did not intend to deceive her and said, "Caiyan is a good girl. She likes her very much, both Piaoxue and Mo Changfeng."
Duan Caiyan felt happy and said, "Will you participate in the election of the prince consort?"
Changfeng was stunned for a moment and said, "It may be." He didn't want to destroy Duan Caiyan's hopes all at once, at least let her be happy before choosing a prince consort.
Duan Caiyan suddenly blushed and said, "Since you are not sure that you can say that to Caiyan, why is it possible to choose a prince consort?"
Changfeng had a contradictory mentality like this, saying, "Even if I run for the prince consort, I may not win."
Yes, this is a difficult problem. What should he do if he fails to run for the election? Could it be that he will not accept his fate like this? Duan Caiyan's heart began to worry again.
Changfeng said all the facts. With his current level, the literary test may not be difficult for him, and 90% of the martial test were eliminated.
Duan Caiyan couldn't think of any solution in the end and said, "Caiyan went to plead with her father and asked him to directly choose you as her son-in-law, how about it?"
Changfeng's original intention was to settle Duan Caiyan's heart first. He had not planned to run for the election of any prince consort. Unexpectedly, Duan Caiyan had already recognized himself in his heart. Now he talked about it and got around the corner. He didn't know how to go around it.
"What's wrong with the young master running for the prince consort?" Nong Yue pushed the door and walked in and said. Changfeng was only concerned about talking to Duan Caiyan, his vigilance was greatly reduced. In addition, he had not recovered his internal strength, and his hearing was like an ordinary person. He did not realize that Nong Yue had been eavesdropping at the outer door for a long time.
Nong Yue turned her head and pointed at Duan Caiyan in surprise and said, "You, you are Caiyun!" Nong Yue couldn't understand why she felt familiar with Duan Caiyan. Now that she had returned to women's clothing, she recognized her immediately.
Duan Caiyan knew why Nong Yue was so surprised. He knew that it was the trouble he caused back then. He knelt down and confessed to Nong Yue: "Caiyan is Caiyun, and Caiyun is Caiyan. Sorry, Sister Nong Yue, Caiyan's willfulness back then caused her sister to suffer."
Since Nongyue followed Changfeng, her hatred for the past has gradually faded. If it weren't for Caiyun of the past, she might not have encountered Changfeng and would not have the happiness she is today. She is a kind woman, except for the Wen family who hates her to exterminate her clan, she can understand the rest. After all, this is not Duan Caiyan's fault.
Nong Yue was just a singing girl. After enduring the princess' kneeling, all the hatred disappeared. Nong Yue helped Duan Caiyan up and said, "Your Highness the Princess dares to love and hate, Nong Yue admires her very much. All the past has passed, and the princess will no longer remember it."
"Young Master, do you have the heart to let go of the princess's affection?" Nong Yue was questioning Changfeng a little.
Changfeng said awkwardly: "Nongyue, you don't understand."
