Chapter 1347: Turbulence at the Engagement Ceremony
The convoy finally arrived at the gate of the palace.
The drums and music stopped, and the people from the Kong family got off the car one after another.
In addition to Kong Qianqian, also present this time was the current Prime Minister Kong Fang.
Wang Linxia was already standing on the steps to greet him and exchange greetings with Kong Fang.
"Haha, Prime Minister Kong looks really energetic today. Could this be what they say about people being in high spirits when good things happen?"
Kong Fang replied cheerfully: "Indeed, there is a great joyful event today, and the prince will be able to witness it with his own eyes later."
"That's natural. Let's witness it together."
Lin Xia happily watched Kong Qianqian get off the car, and he completely treated her as his daughter-in-law.
Kong Qianqian was wearing a moon-white gauze dress today, looking beautiful and elegant. She walked onto the steps, and she and the handsome Lin Fan, who was standing next to her under the trees, complemented each other, a perfect match.
The crowd walked forward and entered the palace compound.
Originally, Lin Xia was planning to temporarily close the gate to give the people inside a relatively quiet environment, but Kong Fang stopped him and said, "No need to close the gate. So many people are here to watch the ceremony today. This wonderful show cannot be without audiences."
After saying this, he turned to the people crowded in front of the door and said, "Do you want to watch today's big show?"
"think!"
"Then open the door as wide as possible and let everyone in. His Majesty will be here soon."
The people cheered loudly and rushed in.
Soon the palace courtyard was packed with people, leaving only the central area.
Lin Xia frowned slightly. Kong Fang really didn't treat him as an outsider. After all, this was the prince's palace, and he didn't even ask for his opinion as the prince before doing this.
But today was a happy day, so Lin Xia couldn't say much. He just forced a smile and thought, "It doesn't matter if there are more people. It's a good thing anyway, and he's not afraid of people seeing it."
The drum band arrived and began to play cheerful music.
After some tense preparations were completed, the host took the stage.
The person in charge of this event was the vice president of Dicui Peak Martial Arts and Literature Academy.
The results of Lin Fan's graduation exam have not yet been announced. After all, the remains of the star realm monster that Lin Fan took out should not belong to the monster in the enclosure, so some people have questioned Lin Fan's results.
Lin Xia actually didn't believe that his son could kill the star realm monster, so he secretly communicated with the vice president, hoping that he could announce that Lin Fan's results were valid, so that his son could graduate successfully.
Last night, Linxia even gave the vice president a lot of money, and the other party agreed and took on the role of host today. This made Linxia feel relieved.
The vice president came on stage, but before he could say anything, more spectators arrived outside.
"Marshal Hu Zheng has arrived!"
Lin Xia hurried to greet them, only to see the crowd disperse, and Hu Zheng walked in with his son Hu Feng and his iron-blooded bodyguards.
However, these people were armed with swords and dressed in military uniforms, and walked in with murderous intent.
Only the young man Hu Feng was dressed normally.
Lin Xia couldn't help but frown, but he still greeted him out of politeness: "Hu Shuai, you are late today. I will have to punish you with a few drinks later."
"Hahaha, Your Majesty, I am indeed a little late. It's just that His Majesty summoned me and I have some temporary tasks to perform. I have to carry out the tasks in a while, so I came here dressed like this. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty."
Lin Xia laughed dryly a few times. Since it was His Majesty who had the mission, he couldn't blame anyone.
Hu Zheng and his personal guards sat in a viewing booth. The fully armed soldiers made the engagement ceremony immediately feel much more depressing, and the cheerful atmosphere just now disappeared a little.
The vice president coughed, attracting people's attention.
"Everyone, today is a good day."
People stopped making noise and turned their eyes to the stage.
The vice president stood in the middle, with Lin Fan in a black suit on the left and Kong Qianqian in a white gauze skirt on the right.
"Our Great Hua was founded on military power. Your Majesty and King Yi Zi Bing Jian fought together in battles to establish our Great Hua's vast fertile land."
People listened solemnly, but felt that the topic raised by the vice president was a bit heavy.
"More than a hundred years have passed, and your majesty is still as brave and powerful as ever, but the king who once stood shoulder to shoulder with you is long gone. The palace has been passed down to the fourth generation to this day."
"The one standing next to me is the fourth generation heir of the palace, the son of Wang Linxia, who is also the young prince, Lin Fan."
People's eyes fell on Lin Fan, with all kinds of expressions, some envy, some disdain.
"Your Majesty had promised us that the throne would last for three generations. If the fourth generation fails to be successful in both literature and martial arts, then they will not be able to inherit the throne."
"There is a standard for success in both literature and martial arts. Lin Fan is also a student of our Cuifeng Literature and Martial Arts Academy. The standard of success is the results of the graduation exam. As we all know, the graduation exam ended ten days ago. So how did our classmate Lin Fan perform in graduation? Let me announce it to you..."
There was a slight smile on Lin Xia's face, and his son must have passed the test successfully.
"Oh! And our heroine today is the beautiful Miss Kong Qianqian. She is also a student of our college. Let me announce her results first."
People's eyes fell on Kong Qianqian again.
"Kong Qianqian is the beloved daughter of the prime minister of the current dynasty and an outstanding student of our academy. I am very honored to announce that Kong Qianqian has won the second place in the entire academy in this graduation exam! She is also the first silver-level spiritualist among the students of our academy this year!"
Wow~~~!
There was a burst of exclamations from the audience. Many people could not have imagined that such a beautiful girl could have such outstanding results.
In this era when everyone is proud of practicing cultivation, such people are naturally respected and welcomed.
There was a sudden burst of warm applause from the audience, and some people shouted "Goddess Kong Qianqian" loudly.
Kong Qianqian also kept smiling in return, behaving very gracefully.
At this time, someone shouted loudly: "Deputy Dean, since Kong Qianqian has won the second place, then the first place must be Little Prince Lin Fan, otherwise how can he be worthy of marrying Miss Kong! What do you think?"
"right!"
There was a lot of heckling.
Lin Xia felt a little uneasy. He had just agreed with the vice-president to let Lin Fan graduate. Why did they have to make such a fuss? Wasn't this just putting Lin Fan on the spot?
But he couldn't say anything at the moment, he just hoped that this paragraph would end quickly and get to the point.
The vice president smiled and said, "Everyone is curious about who is the first place, right? Then I will announce it here."
He scanned the audience and suddenly shouted, "The first place in this year's academy graduation exam is Hu Feng, the son of our current military commander Hu Zheng! He is also the first student in this year's academy to become a god of war!"
Following the vice president's announcement, Hu Feng stood up, clasped his fists to the people around him, and smiled.
He had already advanced to the level of God of War yesterday. He was young and successful, full of energy and vigor.
This should have been cause for celebration, but the audience suddenly fell silent.
It turns out that the first place is not Lin Fan.
Today's scene seems a little weird.
Some sensitive people have already realized something.
