On the day of the cooking competition, the sun was shining brightly, the sky was clear, and the entire city of Shangjing was cleared of the haze and humidity that had prevailed for several days.

The rare good weather made everyone in the capital feel brighter. They were extremely enthusiastic about the drama of "two women fighting for a husband" that was reported from the palace seven days ago and was about to be staged publicly——

There is no way, who makes it possible that the "husband" being fought over in this "two women competing for husbands" is the Hengyue God of War, His Royal Highness the Regent Huangfuye, who is proud and revered by the entire Hengyue Dynasty as a god, and is the most loving and holy one.

!

And among the rumored heroines, there is Princess Yun who is the envy of women all over the world - [a pair of people who will live together until the end of their lives]!

In the words of the 21st century, the idol effect is huge.

The royal open-air arena in the east of the city can accommodate 100,000 people, just like the Colosseum in ancient Rome. It can accommodate four-fifths of the seats for ordinary people to watch the ceremony. As soon as the imperial list was posted three days ago, the seats were sold out.

The surging people threw money and looted everything.

Various gambling houses, large and small, have sprung up all over the city, setting up high-rate bets for the ultimate winner of this "two women fighting for husband" game.

Almost most people bet on Princess Hailan to win.

Originally, the support rate between Princess Yun and Princess Hailan was one-sided.

People in Beijing still support their own people, but after the state banquet seven days ago, the faces of those who supported Princess Yun turned green, while those who sympathized with Princess Hailan and bought Princess Hailan's victory made money.

When your face is full of red light and your face is full of blood, you can even laugh out loud while sleeping...

It’s a lot of hard work to save money, and ordinary people can’t afford to be hurt! Your Majesty, Princess, you are so disappointing and inadequate! After the winner was announced that night, more than 90% of the people in the capital were so sad and angry that they burst into tears.

Voice of the heart...

As soon as Princess Hailan's title of "Miracle Doctor Princess" came out, 99% of the people in the capital switched sides, overwhelmingly supporting Princess Hailan - even if they were unhappy with the princess's arrogance, no one would follow her.

I can’t get by with the money!

Only three or two kittens still insisted on betting on Princess Yun to win.

Among them, Mr. Yun Zuoxiang was shocked and even bet a huge sum of money on his daughter to win - if he doesn't support his daughter, who will support him! Even if he really wants to lose, he will support it to the end, even more

But what’s more, his Luo Ran hasn’t lost yet! Besides, with His Highness here, is it possible for his Luo Ran to lose?

"Pledge, pledge one hundred thousand taels of gold for me, and I will pledge my daughter!"

Lord Zuo Xiang yelled with an angry face on the spot, but secretly he sneered contemptuously, the miracle doctor princess? What a damn miracle doctor princess, it would be great to have a miracle doctor who serves as an elder on the outskirts of Yaowang Valley, but he ate his daughter to death?

I don’t even want to think about who is standing behind his Luo Ran!

A bunch of bastards who look down on people under the door, he wants them to pay until their intestines turn green!

…

"Am I so disliked by others?"

Amidst the bustle of people, a certain Ran stood in the royal area of ​​the martial arts field separated by the Royal Guards. He was very unhappy with his mask on. He stared at the high hanging wooden sign with unkind eyes and asked the man next to him.

"Yes, buy one and pay five." Huangfu Ye curled his lips and took her into his arms, his peerless eyes flashing with a strange and dangerous light, "I have asked someone to bet five million taels of gold on you to win.

It’s five times, so you can earn twenty-five million taels of gold.”

"Why don't you bet more?" Luo Ran, who didn't have a deep understanding of gold and silver in Xuanwu Continent, curled his lips.

"...Princess, 25 million taels of gold is 2.5 billion taels of silver, which is equivalent to two and a half years of the national treasury's income. You, you... do you want all the wealthy and powerful people in the capital to go bankrupt?"

!”

Qing Ling next to her almost fell over in shock, her face turned green and white, and she almost couldn't hold her breath and carried her away, looking at her in horror.

Heaven and earth, 2.5 billion taels of silver, such a shocking number is still too small for her!?

One tael of gold is equivalent to one hundred taels of silver!

One hundred taels of silver in Shangjing is enough for a middle-class family of five to live a comfortable life for three months! What kind of concept is that 2.5 billion taels of silver? You can't be so shameless and ignorant!

"That's it?" Luo Ran was satisfied.

Huangfuye answered without changing his expression, "Qingling, go and add another one million taels of gold according to the princess' wishes."

As long as she is happy, he doesn't care who lives or lives. Since those people dare to start this gamble, they must be mentally prepared to lose their entire family and destroy their family.

What!!!! Qing Ling was stunned and looked at His Highness in horror, completely losing the ability to speak!

Your Highness, are you trying to force at least 30% of the powerful and wealthy families in the capital to death?

"Ahem, no need. You can't kill everyone like this. You have to leave a way for others to survive." Luo Ran's face turned red under the mask, he coughed lightly, left Huangfu Ye's arms, and said with dignity.

She didn't know the concept of gold and silver exchange here, so she didn't feel anything about the five million taels of gold. After knowing about it, even someone with a hard heart like her felt that Huangfuye was really unkind... He couldn't be so cruel.

Although his favor made her feel very happy.

Looking at his empty hands, Huangfu Ye gave her a playful look, with the corners of his lips raised high.

"The Emperor has arrived - the Empress Dowager has arrived -!"

Suddenly, a high-pitched shout came, and the royal martial arts arena, which was bustling with people, fell silent for an instant.

"Behold, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! May your Majesty live a thousand lives!"

The tsunami-like sound of the mountains shouting "Long Live a Thousand Lives" resounded over the martial arts field, deafening and making people's blood vibrate.

"Pingshen." The beautiful empress dowager, dressed in a gold-threaded phoenix robe, showing off her graceful and luxurious royal style, and the little emperor with a dignified smile holding pink and jade-carved hands but possessing a natural sense of nobility, gracefully and elegantly

Raising their hands to greet the people who were kneeling in obeisance, they all walked in and walked towards the VIP area where Huangfu Ye and Luo Ran were.

Behind the two mother and son, naturally, were the palace maids, eunuchs, and civil and military officials who were in good order. The clan elders of the Hengyue royal family, the chief cook of the palace, the Lord Xiao of the Ryukyu Kingdom, many envoys from the Ryukyu Kingdom, and everyone were invited to judge today.

One of the most eye-catching protagonists of today’s competition is Princess Hailan.

"Look, look! The girl in gorgeous clothes at the end is Princess Hailan, right?"

"That should be it. That suit of clothes has the emblem of the Ryukyu royal family on it!"

"Oh, it turns out that Princess Hailan is so beautiful. No wonder she is so confident in competing with Princess Yun for the favor of His Highness the Regent!"

"Alas, no matter how beautiful Princess Yun is, it was only in the past!"

"Yes, it's a pity..."

"Hey, with such a princess entering the Regent's Palace, Princess Yun's life will probably be difficult in the future..."

"Fart, I don't believe that His Highness the Regent would be willing to do something that would make Princess Yun sad! Your Highness loves Princess Yun so much that he almost risked his life for her. How could he fall in love with Princess Yun just because she is disfigured? Your Highness

He’s not such a superficial and heartless man!”

"Tch, so what, there are three things to be said for being unfilial and the worst is not having an offspring. Even if His Highness loves the Princess deeply and no longer wants to hurt the Princess's heart, he still has to take another concubine for the sake of his children! Who let the Princess do it?

It's so unlucky that not only is your face disfigured, but you can't even give birth to a child!"

"Oh, that's right..."

"The princess is so pitiful..."

He stood up and watched the group of people march towards the VIP area dedicated to the royal family. The three aunts, six women, seven uncles and eight gentlemen were suddenly as excited as ants exploding their nest, pointing and talking one after another.

After hearing the comments from the people, the father and daughter, Princess Hailan and Lord Xiao, who were walking in the center of the team, suddenly became even more energetic, raising their chins high and domineering, with the same proud smiles on their faces.

Get se. Let you get se. Soon you father and daughter will no longer be able to laugh. Yun Zhihuan looked on with cold eyes, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.

The officials and ministers of the imperial court also glanced at the father and daughter with disdain. So what if they win? What if they become Princess Ping? Even if most of them are now escorting them

Father and daughter win, but it doesn't mean that they will agree with their father and daughter - huh, stupid father and daughter, don't you know that they have made His Highness extremely unhappy? Are you still so unwilling to restrain yourself and want to be favored? Dream on!

"Emperor's sister-in-law, here we come." Huangfuye pulled Luo Ran over and nodded lightly to the Empress Dowager and her son. Even if they had seen the ceremony - even if he wanted to bow down, the Empress Dowager and her son would not dare to accept the ceremony.

Not to mention that as his brother-in-law, the regent and the war god of the constant moon, his status is so high that he can meet the emperor without kneeling down. However, just because of his status as a master who has now broken through to the innate realm, even the secular emperor will not salute him.

It was extremely disrespectful. How could the Empress Dowager and her son, who already knew about his breakthrough, dare to ask him to salute, not even the common courtesy of bowing down?

But in the eyes of Lord Xiao and Princess Hailan, this scene had a different meaning. It made the two father and daughter more determined to win by any means necessary. In the future, with Huangfu Ye as their great backer, their father

Women can walk sideways in Heng Yue, but even emperors, empresses and empresses have to avoid them and take detours when they see them!

"Little Emperor Uncle!" The little Emperor's eyes lit up, he cheered and ran over to hug Huangfu Ye's legs, "Hug!"

Huangfu Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at the Empress Dowager - it didn't matter in the palace and in front of the ministers, but outside, he had to maintain the dignity and manners that an emperor should have, right?

"My family, you don't need to be so restrained. Besides, the emperor is still young." The Queen Mother smiled gently and looked at her son lovingly, with a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes. She originally thought that even if Huangfuye left, his son would grow up.

When adults can take control of this dynasty, who knew it would be so soon...

She now hopes that her son will be as close to Ye as possible. It is best to win more respect and love from Ye before Ye leaves. Only in this way can her son's position as emperor be more stable - Ye Yue loves this little nephew more.

, the backhand and trump cards left for him will be more and better, right?

And when the time comes, if the son encounters an accident that threatens his life, with this brother-in-law secretly watching over and intimidating him, will he be able to survive in the end?

Hearing this, something flashed in Huangfuye's eyes, and his handsome and indifferent silhouette seemed to melt a little under the sun. He bent down and hugged the little emperor.

The Empress Dowager sighed softly and gathered her heart. Because Huangfu Ye was about to leave, she was worried and uneasy about losing the most powerful protective shield. She looked at the masked girl standing next to Huangfu Ye, whose figure was as delicate as the wind.

.

A meaningful smile flashed in her eyes, and the Queen Mother asked with concern, "How are my siblings?"

"Ahem...Thank you, the Empress Dowager, for your care. I'm fine. I'll be fine if you rest for a while." Luo Ran's body was full of blessings, and the voice coming out from under the mask was soft and a little weak.
