"Your Majesty, I think it's too boring to just watch the singing and dancing. Why not let these children practice martial arts?" Concubine Yun said delicately.
When everyone heard this, their attention was focused on the emperor, the queen and Concubine Yun.
The Queen was very angry about the singing and dancing arranged by Wu Nei, but she couldn't show it because the banquet was organized by the Queen. Isn't it a slap in the face for Concubine Yun to say this?
The Queen was from the Shen family, one of the three great families. Although Concubine Yun was from a poorer family, she was very favored by the emperor. This made Concubine Yun want to make the tenth prince the emperor, so she always opposed the Queen.
"Sister, please don't give any advice casually. It would be bad if it ruins the Emperor's banquet."
"The Queen knows it's not okay before she even hears it, or does she have something against me?"
The Queen and Concubine Yun were talking to each other, but the Emperor was already curious.
"Oh! Your Majesty, do you have any good ideas? Tell me about them."
"Your Majesty, it's like this. Since it's your Majesty's birthday, it has to be something special so that your Majesty can remember it deeply."
"How to say"
"If you have any ideas, please tell me quickly. It's not good to keep people in suspense." Concubine Liu next to her interrupted.
"I think that with so many powerful people and disciples from aristocratic families coming to this banquet, we can let them spar with each other, and also let those children gain practical experience, which is also interesting. Your Majesty, do you think this is a good idea?"
"Very good, then it is decided." The emperor made the decision
The Queen knew that the Emperor had already made up his mind and could not say anything more. She had to swallow her rebuttal.
"Your Majesty, why not give them some rewards to give them more motivation?"
"Your Highness, your majesty is very thoughtful. I will reward the first place winner with the opportunity to enter the royal treasury and choose an item."
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, then I'll give you an extra reward. The second place winner will be awarded a third-level spiritual weapon, the Mysterious Fire Whip."
When Concubine Yun heard about the reward, she had no choice but to add it. Because she was born in a poor family, she couldn't give away anything good. She had to give the second-grade elixir she got from the emperor, the healing elixir and the rejuvenation elixir, as the reward for the third place. She was heartbroken for a while.
After that, the queen went to make arrangements
"Brother, I want to participate in this competition to gain some practical experience. Do you want to go?"
"Since my sister wants to go, go ahead. I won't go. They are too weak. I can defeat them in one move." Gu Lingfeng said mercilessly.
"Yan'er, if you want to go, go ahead. Your parents won't stop you. Just be careful," Bai Fengdie said gently.
"Go if you want to," Gu Shenghao said.
Gu Lingyan was very happy to see their support and decided to give it a try.
After a while
"Please move to the stage," the Queen said loudly.
"Let me tell you the rules of the game," announced the eunuch Li Gonggong beside the queen.
"The competition is divided into two groups, one for spiritual practitioners and one for spiritual masters. Spiritual practitioners will fight against spiritual practitioners, and spiritual masters will fight against spiritual masters. It will be a one-on-one duel."
"The rewards have also been adjusted. The first place winner of each group can enter the treasure house and choose a treasure. The second place winner can get a third-level spiritual weapon, the Mysterious Fire Whip, or a third-level Broken Blade. The third place winner can get two second-level elixirs, the Rejuvenation Pill."
Gu Lingyan and Gu Lingfeng curled their lips when they heard about the reward. This reward was not even a fraction of what they had.
After all, this is the lowest level country on the lowest continent, so it is understandable.
Although Gu Lingyan disliked it, she still wanted to participate.
"Those who are participating in the competition should stand on the left, those who are not participating should stand on the right, those who are spiritual practitioners should stand in a row, and those who are spiritual masters can stand anywhere they want."
All those who participated and those who did not participate immediately took action. There were quite a lot of participants at a glance, but there were very few five or six-year-old little kids. Gu Lingyan was one of them.
"Now let's start with the spiritualist. Whoever wants to be the first to go on stage can nominate anyone to challenge. This is voluntary," said Eunuch Li.
"I'll do it!" An 8-year-old little girl in a beige dress jumped onto the stage.
The first one to come on stage will always attract attention. If he performs well, he can also increase the favorability of the emperor and the dignitaries, and thus gain some benefits.
"I want to challenge her"
The little girl pointed to a weak-looking little girl in pink clothes who came up on the stage.
"Are you ready?" said another eunuch in charge.
"Ready!" the two little girls responded in unison.
"I am Ye Wanying from the Ye family, please teach me."
"Gu Lingyan, please teach me."
That’s right, the one wearing pink is Gu Lingyan, and the one wearing beige is the youngest daughter of the Ye family, one of the three major families.
