Everyone held their breath, craning their necks to watch. The only sounds in the entire venue were the colorful cloths hanging for decoration, rustling in the wind.
The Water and Fire Prison Dragon Stick Technique, a family tradition passed down by the Duke of Yingguo's family, was a skill that Duke of Yingguo Han Lin learned from a chivalrous hero. With just one iron stick, he was invincible in the world. He once killed six generals of the Northern Di in a row in a duel on the battlefield, and his power was feared at the border.
Although Han Shiying is a woman, she has also received the true teachings of Han Lin. She stands there with a big stick, looking heroic and valiant. Zhao Lin couldn't help but praise her secretly, saying that she is a woman who is as good as a man.
Just as the two sides were about to start fighting, a shout came from afar:
"***arrive!"
Everyone stood up and rushed to greet ***.
A woman in her twenties walked over gracefully, surrounded by a crowd of people.
Her eyebrows were as dark as distant black, her eyes were like autumn water, her hair was as long as a waterfall, and her figure was as slender and graceful as a willow. Although she wore a long dress, it couldn't hide her beautiful figure. Her every frown and smile exuded nobility. Standing there, she was like a bright moon breaking through the clouds, and everything else was dimmed in her presence.
***Li Weibai, the youngest daughter of the late emperor and the younger sister of the current emperor, holds a high status and is loved by two successive emperors. She resides in the *** Mansion.
In terms of appearance, Li Weibai is the most outstanding woman Zhao Lin has ever seen. Even many female stars in his previous life were not as good as her. In addition, the noble majesty brought by the royal family adds three points of temptation.
As soon as she appeared, she attracted the attention of almost all the men present, who chased after her and were reluctant to leave.
However, Zhao Lin just glanced at her. His eyes searched among the crowd surrounding Li Weibai and soon found his target.
Fu Liqing!
She was wearing a long green dress and following the crowd, not too far from Li Weibai, showing her status, or rather, the status of Minister Fu.
At this time, Fu Liqing lowered his head, thinking about something. Sensing someone was looking at him, Fu Liqing suddenly looked up and saw Zhao Lin, and immediately smiled. When she saw that everyone's eyes were looking at Li Weibai, only Zhao Lin was staring at her, the smile on her face became even deeper, and she winked at Zhao Lin.
"Welcome His Highness."
Everyone shouted and many of them knelt down. Only a few people, such as Zhao Lin, Zhao Chenhan, Bai Shicheng, Jiang Yichen, etc., did not kneel, because they all had honors and did not kneel when meeting officials.
This made Zhao Lin, who was alone, stand out even more.
Li Weibai glanced at Zhao Lin, then passed by and said, "Everyone, get up."
Everyone stood up.
"Your Highness is beautiful again."
"Alas, I don't even want to admit that I'm a woman in front of His Highness."
"Your Highness, please teach us some skin care methods."
One woman is worth ten ducks, and a group of women is worth tens of thousands of ducks. They chattered around Li Weibai, and Zhao Lin's brain was about to explode just by listening to them.
All the men around me are the same.
It's so uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Li Weibai seemed unable to bear it either. She raised her hand and the women immediately quieted down.
Li Weibai looked at Zhao Lin: "What's this gentleman's name? Why are you standing there alone?"
"Your Highness, he is the talented poet Zhao Lin, the new champion of Shengjing Prefecture. He is standing there alone, intending to fight with Miss Han." Wu Qiaoyun, from the family of the Minister of War, answered first.
"You are Zhao Lin."
Li Weibai looked him up and down carefully. Zhao Lin had no choice but to put his gun on the ground and said with a bow, "Zhao Lin greets His Highness."
Li Weibai said: "My cousin asked me for an invitation specifically for you, obviously he thinks highly of you. But why did you fight with Shiying?"
Wu Qiaoyun answered first, "Miss Han has set her sights on Master Zhao and demands that he marry her. He refuses, so they decide to have a martial arts duel. The winner has the final say."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people looked at Fu Liqing.
The relationship between Fu Liqing and Zhao Lin was no secret, and many people knew about it. Especially when the Fu and Bai families were getting married, this matter became even more talked about by many people, who speculated whether Zhao Lin would elope with Fu Liqing.
Now Han Shiying has fallen for Zhao Lin, and has become a love rival of Fu Liqing. Many people want to see how Fu Liqing will react.
Sure enough, Fu Liqing's expression changed and he glared at Han Shiying fiercely.
Now everyone looked at Bai Shicheng again.
Your fiancée is jealous of other men and other women.
Bai Shicheng cursed in his heart, but remained calm on the surface. He held a folding fan and slowly waved it, just smiling, responding to all changes with the same attitude.
"Mr. Bai is so calm." Someone praised.
"What a joke! Stay calm! People look down on him. If he gets close to them now, he'll be the only one who gets embarrassed." Someone laughed.
Bai Shicheng was filled with hatred and secretly remembered those who laughed at him.
Humph, if big brother doesn’t let me mess with Zhao Lin now, how can I not mess with you?
Han Shiying looked back at Fu Liqing and said disdainfully, "If you want a man, just go and get him. There's no point in just getting angry."
"you?"
Fu Liqing was furious.
Han Shiying is notoriously unruly and behaves like a man. If you clash with her, no matter whether you win or lose, you will be the one who is embarrassed.
But Fu Liqing couldn't swallow that anger.
At this time, Zhao Lin said loudly: "Miss Han, don't waste time, let's continue."
"That would be best."
Han Shiying was dragging a thick iron rod in one hand and was about to rush towards Zhao Lin: "Ms. Fu, watch how I snatch your man away."
"Vulgar!" Fu Liqing could only curse like this.
"Shiying, don't be impulsive."
Li Weibai had no choice but to speak up to dissuade him.
The eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion relied on martial arts competitions to find men. If this got out, it would not only bring shame to the Duke's Mansion, but also make her mother look bad.
Today is her place.
Han Shiying said, "Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will not delay your chrysanthemum viewing party."
Li Weibai also understood Han Shiying's character and advised softly, "Matters between men and women should be based on mutual consent. It's not something that can be resolved with martial arts."
Han Shiying said, "Wait until I defeat him, and it will be our mutual consent."
Li Weibai was at a loss for words and said, "How about giving me some face?"
Han Shiying thought for a moment and said, "Just give Your Highness some face. Zhao Lin, you're lucky, otherwise I'd let you know the power of my Han family's stick technique."
"Humph, people give in to you because you're a woman, but you become arrogant." Zhao Lin said disdainfully: "Let's not talk about anything else, Brother Bai has no problem beating you."
Bai Shicheng next to me stopped fanning himself. I didn't say a word. Why was he pulling me?
Han Shiying glanced at Bai Shicheng with disdain, handed the iron rod to the maid, and sat down near Li Weibai.
She is the daughter of a British Duke, and her status is higher than many others.
Li Weibai then looked at Zhao Lin and smiled, "Young Master Zhao, your cousin praised your talent, saying you're far superior to any of the Seven Young Masters of the Capital. No wonder Shiying took a fancy to you. Don't blame Shiying; it would be abnormal for him not to like such a man."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became quiet.
