Chapter 107 The Disaster Appears
After saying that, Lin Pianran turned her gaze to Gu Qingcheng, who had been watching the show.
I really underestimated her. I actually used Princess Baoqing to cause trouble for her.
But she was not afraid.
When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
When Gu Qingcheng saw Princess Baoqing and Lin Pianran quarreling, she was in a very good mood. It was worth it that she had been trying to sow discord and fan the flames in front of Princess Baoqing.
But no one expected that she was so useless that her army was defeated in less than a quarter of an hour.
It's so useless!
Lin Pianran ignored them.
I just put my luggage away and tidied up the room.
Then the maid came to report, "The emperor can't wait to go fishing by the lake. Prince Chang proposed to organize a unique fishing competition."
"Everyone has now gathered at the lake."
"The Emperor has decreed that whoever catches the most fish will receive a generous reward."
Driven by curiosity, Lin Pianran and the eldest princess decided to join in the fun.
At this time, many men of princes and nobles, young and old, had gathered by the lake.
Women gathered in groups of three or five to watch and chat from time to time.
When Lin Pianran arrived, Huo Yuchen had already arrived.
When he saw Lin Pianran, he came forward with a gentle smile on his face.
"Is Your Highness also participating in the competition?"
"How is your fishing skill, Your Highness?"
“Is there a chance of winning?”
Three questions in a row.
Baili Qingyun was the first to take over the conversation.
"The fish food in Prince Chang's hand is a secret recipe from the palace. I guess he will win again this time."
"I heard that the first prize is a martial arts secret book called 'The Deadly Divine Sword Technique', which was created by the martial arts master Xiao Feng two hundred years ago."
"This martial arts secret manual is said to contain the most powerful sword technique in the world. Martial artists all over the world have long coveted it."
"The princes have tried their best to obtain it, but they have been unable to find it."
"I heard that this time it was Master Wuchi, the eighth-generation descendant of Xiao Feng, who brought them here. He is also in the villa now. Anyone who can pass his test will have the hope of becoming his last disciple."
"Your Highness naturally wants this secret book very much, but now it seems a little mysterious."
"Emperor Wu of Qin will certainly do his utmost to help Prince Chang and use every possible means to obtain this secret book. He will not let it fall into the hands of others. From the current perspective, it is definitely in Prince Chang's pocket."
Baili Qingyun couldn't help but sigh, feeling somewhat unwilling.
Lin Pianran was full of confidence.
He consoled her, "I have a brilliant plan that will surely grant your Highness what he wishes for!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuchen and Baili Qingyun were shocked and their confidence increased greatly.
Even the Princess Chang laughed.
Lin Pianran asked in confusion, "Master Wuchi, why didn't you let everyone compete in martial arts to win it, but instead let everyone compete in fishing?"
Baili Qingyun shook his head, also very confused.
Huo Yuchen speculated, "Could it be to test everyone's character? Fishing requires patience, and it's a good way to test one's character."
Finally, the master finalized the candidates for the competition. In addition to the four princes, there are three sons of the royal palace and two sons of the duke's palace who can participate in the competition.
These nine people have all practiced martial arts since childhood, and their martial arts skills are extraordinary.
As Lin Pianran and the others were talking, a man in black clothes strode over.
The man was about twenty years old, tall and handsome, with a faint smile on his face and a dimple on his right cheek, which showed the cuteness of a young man.
He walked forward, bowed to Huo Yuchen, and said with a smile, "Hello, Your Highness. Long time no see!"
Huo Yuchen nodded, walked over and patted his shoulder, "Huo Xiao, I haven't seen you in nearly three years, right?"
"Yes, I went to the military camp to gain some experience. It was not until two months ago that my father allowed me to return to the capital."
"Life in the military camp is much harder than in the capital!"
Huo Yuchen said sincerely, "It's good to have some experience. At least my martial arts skills will be greatly improved."
Then he turned to Lin Pianran and introduced him, "Pianpian, this is Huo Xiao, the prince of Prince Xuan's palace. He was my study companion for several years when I was young."
Then he said to Huo Xiao, "This is my Crown Princess Lin Pianran."
Lin Pianran nodded as a greeting.
Huo Xiao looked at Lin Pianran with a deep gaze, "Miss Lin is as beautiful as a flower, amazing!"
Huo Yuchen stood sideways in front of Lin Pianran and said unhappily, "You are being rude!"
Huo Xiao smiled widely and quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, I speak my mind frankly and mean no harm. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Huo Yuchen did not respond, and the atmosphere became solemn for a moment.
This little episode passed just like that.
Soon, the fishing competition began.
Nine candidates lined up in a row, each sitting in a position to fish, with a distance of about five meters between each two people.
Lin Pianran discovered that Huo Xiao was also among the nine people.
As soon as the game started, everyone held their breath and watched the game intently.
Lin Pianran discovered that King Chang fished much faster than anyone else.
While others were still catching nothing, King Chang had a great harvest and had already caught several big fish.
Huo Yuchen's position is the first on the left.
He looked relaxed and at ease as he calmly cast his hook, pulled the line, picked up the fish, put on the bait, and continued to cast...
Over and over again.
His movements were graceful and smooth, done in one go, and looked extremely pleasing to the eye. It was like a visual feast and was very enjoyable.
Lin Pianran's eyes were fixed on him, and she was unwilling to take her eyes off him for a moment.
This is probably what it looks like to admire someone.
Lin Pianran also knew that she had completely fallen.
In the competition, the other seven people gained little, only Huo Yuchen and King Chang gained a lot.
The two of them were like two wild horses, running hand in hand, equally matched.
For a moment, it was difficult to tell who would win.
Lin Pianran didn't expect that even though she added spiritual spring water to the bait, she still couldn't take the lead in front of King Chang, and could only end up in a tie.
It can be seen that the secret fish bait made by King Chang’s palace is indeed extraordinary and is deeply loved by fish.
Seeing that Huo Yuchen had not completely suppressed Prince Chang, Lin Pianran had no choice but to continue to increase the stakes.
She handed Baili Qingyun a water bag filled with spiritual spring water.
Then he instructed, "Pour the water in here into a bowl, and then splash it over the hook in front of Your Highness, and it will attract more fish."
Baili Qingyun did not ask the reason and cooperated very well. He picked up the water bag and did as he was told.
Sure enough, after the water was poured down, nothing could be seen at first, but soon, an unexpected scene appeared.
The water in front of Huo Yuchen soon began to boil, and the effect was very significant.
Countless fish were fighting there, as if they had seen delicious food, they were extremely greedy and would not give in to each other.
Lin Pianran had already anticipated this phenomenon.
