When Lin Zhan heard the official calling her name, she walked out quickly, but surprisingly, the man who was paired with her did not show up.

This strange scene instantly attracted everyone's attention. Tang Yu said sarcastically, "Did Lin Zhan draw a blank? It seems that no one is willing to pair up with her."

As soon as he finished speaking, the girls standing next to Tang Yu also laughed out loud. The sound was neither loud nor soft, but it just happened to reach Lin Zhan's ears.

A few moments passed, but still no one came on stage with the same lot as Lin Zhan's. Jun Anqing couldn't stand it anymore and walked out of the crowd.

"No one wants to pair up with Li Zi, so I'll do it." Jun Anqing walked over and handed the lot in his hand to the official.

The official looked a little embarrassed, but said to Jun Anqing with a flattering smile, "Fourth Prince, you drew number 21, so you can only be paired with the woman who also drew this number, and Miss Lin drew number 9."

"What number nine, number twenty-one? I want to be in the same group with Li Zi." Jun Anqing didn't care about that and said to the official with a cold face.

At this time, Tian Ningxi's face was a little pale, and the number she drew was 21. According to the rules, she had to be in a group with Jun Anqing.

Liu Qiuchan naturally didn't want to see Lin Zhan become a laughing stock, so she smiled and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Zhan'er has been weak since she was a child. It would be better to let her watch the ceremony with me on the stage, so she doesn't have to go down to compete."

"If you are weak, you should exercise more. Otherwise, how can you stay weak? Isn't that right, Your Majesty?" Concubine Qin said to the emperor with a sweet laugh.

At this time, there was a burst of laughter from the men. They all wanted to know who the person who drew number nine was and why he hadn't shown up yet.

Liu Qiuchan's face darkened, and when she was about to say something, Lin Zhan stood in front of the matching official with a calm face, smiled calmly, and threw the lot in his hand directly in front of the official.

"No need for that. Since no one has drawn number nine, it will be enough for me to go on stage alone." Lin Zan said very confidently, but her confidence made the people around her think she was arrogant and ignorant, and they all laughed out loud.

Even Si Xueyi, who was already paired with Jun Beiyu, gently reminded Lin Zhan, "Miss Lin, we are going to hunt in the forest, it is very dangerous, Miss Lin, please don't be so brave, or you will get hurt."

"How do you know I will get hurt? I said I can do it by myself, and I can." Lin Zan said firmly, standing there with her hands behind her back, making Jun Anqing beside her involuntarily infected by her confidence.

Jun Anqing laughed loudly, threw away the lot he had drawn, and said, "Then I don't want to form a team. I want to explore this forest by myself."

Looking at Jun Anqing who was fooling around beside him, Lin Zhan glared at him and whispered, "What about the girl who drew the same lot as you? Stop fooling around."

"It seems that what you said is right. Women are trouble." Jun Anqing scratched his head.

At this moment, the official who had just drawn lots for the young men came running over in a hurry, and there was actually one lot left in his lot holder.

"What's going on? Why is there still one lot left and no one has drawn it?" the matching official said angrily.

The official holding the lottery tube had a pale face and whispered a few words in the ear of his paired official.

Lin Zhan clearly saw that the expressions of the two officials changed, and then they looked at her with strange eyes.

It turns out that the number of boys is one less than the number of girls, which means that one girl is destined to draw an empty ticket and be left alone.

But I never expected that Lin Zan was so lucky to draw this empty ticket.

"Let them both come and answer." The emperor couldn't stand it anymore and his face became much gloomier. He asked people to call the two officials over and ask them what happened.

At this moment, a man in dark purple robe appeared on the training ground and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Wherever the man went, people bowed to him, and that man was none other than the current Crown Prince, Jun Beiqi.

"Father, I am late. Please forgive me." Jun Beiqi walked to the high platform and apologized to the emperor.

The emperor's expression obviously eased a lot and he nodded at him. Jun Beiqi walked directly to the official holding the bucket of sticks and took the last stick.

"Since there is one man short, I will fill the position." Jun Beiqi said expressionlessly, holding the lot in his hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him took a breath of cold air, and then their eyes fell on Lin Zan.

Lin Zan raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that the last lot would be taken away by Jun Beiqi. Thinking that they had a good relationship, she smiled brightly.

The reason why Lin Zhan has been so successful in the past few years is also due to Jun Beiqi. Both the Queen and the Prince protect her, so naturally no one dares to mess with her.

"What? Lin Zan actually wants to team up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Tang Yu said angrily.

This competition was originally between women from the Tianban class and men of similar age. Jun Beiqi was over the age limit and according to the rules he should not have participated in the competition.

However, Liu Qiuchan said at the side, "Zhan'er is weak and not good at riding and shooting, which is a disadvantage. The Crown Prince can make up for it. The two of them are just right."

"Even so, I agree to let the prince take the stage." The emperor nodded in agreement with a smile.

Liu Qiuchan breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded gratefully at Jun Beiqi, as if thanking him for helping Lin Zan out of trouble.

"Why can my royal brother do it but I can't?" Jun Anqing muttered a few words, but still took his sign and returned to the team.

Just like that, Jun Beiqi and Lin Zan walked side by side to the paired team. Si Xueyi looked at Lin Zan with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

But everything soon returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

"Look at the way they look at me, as if I have become a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh." Lin Zan clicked his tongue and looked around.

Jun Beiqi looked straight ahead, and then said to Lin Zhan beside him, "That's because they know that we will win."

Hearing him say this, Lin Zhan became interested. "The prince means that he will definitely win the golden bow for me."

"Do you think I will give that golden bow to you?" Jun Beiqi looked at Lin Zan with an interested smile on his face.

Lin Zan's face instantly fell, and he knew that Jun Beiqi was not that kind.
