After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

Chapter 52 The dispute over the red agate pendant

"My lord, there are people coming from the palace."

Yan Ming was practicing swordplay in the courtyard. He was injured a while ago and couldn't practice martial arts for a long time. The wound finally became stronger. From the beginning, he couldn't stop.

He put away his sword and said impatiently: "People in the palace? What do you do?"

The father-in-law got the pass, came in with a shy smile, and said a few pleasant words before getting to the point.

"Master Yan, don't blame me. The Za family is here to give you a prize."

"Prize? What prize?"

The father-in-law said angrily: "Master Yan, please stop making fun of me. Who doesn't know that the first place in the Cuju competition is just a matter of your fingers?"

Liuli also covered her lips and smiled, "Listen to my father-in-law, are you planning to send the prize in advance?"

"Miss Liuli still understands the Za family. The nobles have many treasures. If you carry it back with more effort, the guards under you will be exhausted. It is more serious to carry it to the future number one."

After saying that, he clapped his hands, and the guards brought in many treasures, which made the whole courtyard shine.

After talking about this, Yan Ming also smiled and picked up a few gold jewelry and threw them to him, and then ordered Liuli to go to the warehouse to get some good medicinal materials.

The father-in-law couldn't help being happy, "Master Yan has really ruined the miscellaneous family."

"You can bear the reward from me."

When Yan Ming glanced at a box of treasures, he stopped involuntarily, "That box belongs to a noble family?"

"Your Excellency has really good eyesight. He is indeed from a noble family."

"Oh? Then who will they vote for?"

The father-in-law thought for a moment and then answered one by one: "Except for Marquis Xuanping, who voted for his own son, and the eldest princess, who voted for the third prince, all the other aristocratic families voted for you."

Yan Ming was about to raise his eyebrows when he heard him add: "Oh, he's no longer useful because of his old age. Madam Pingyang Hou saw that His Royal Highness had no one to vote for him, so she took him into custody."

His face suddenly dropped to the ground, water dripping from his face, "Who do you think she is escorting?"

The father-in-law was puzzled, "I wonder which noble family Master Yan is asking about?"

Without waiting for his reaction, Yan Ming stepped forward to snatch the list, and sure enough, he saw the characters Pingyang Marquis Madam under Yu Changsheng's name.

Ke Yiqing actually didn't vote for him!
Unknown anger welled up in his heart, so he raised his sword and struck. His sparring skills barely managed to catch the blow, but after only three rounds, the sword was nailed to his throat.

"You don't have to come here tomorrow."

Wu Zhi was so frightened that he peed his pants and quickly packed up the package and ran away.

"This……"

Liuli saw off the guests without any surprise, and the father-in-law said uneasily: "I dare to ask, girl, but where did the Za family offend Mr. Yan?"

"My father-in-law is too worried. My lord is overjoyed."

"Really..." The father-in-law was wondering, who is so happy to see an enemy like this?But after seeing Liuli's unclear smile, he still didn't dare to ask again.

Amid the ardent expectations of people from all walks of life, the Cuju competition finally started.

The noble ladies sat in the banquet, eating wine and gossiping, all talking about who won and who lost. Naturally, the most popular ones were the outstanding men who were not yet married.

Yan Ming and Yu Changan were the most discussed, and everyone's views were surprisingly consistent.

"No one can match His Majesty the Crown Prince's grace, but when it comes to skills like Cuju, Lord Yan is the best."

Having said that, when Yu Changsheng appeared on the stage dressed in a smart outfit, many ladies still blushed with embarrassment and paid attention to him overtly and covertly.

She was thinking about business matters, but without paying attention, a familiar voice came: "How are you doing, Madam?"

The person who came had a face like a crown jewel and rode a tall horse, but he did not feel condescending and oppressive. Instead, he was as elegant as a banished immortal, as if he was born to be otherworldly.

Ke Yiqing was stunned. When he came back to his senses, Yu Changsheng had been looking at her with a smile like this for a long time.

"I, everything is fine lately."

"Really? The young lady is well, and Chang Sheng is relieved." Her heart beat a lot faster than expected, but luckily she was not distracted by her beauty, and she quickly asked: "The rice noodles I sent you a few days ago? Is His Royal Highness still used to eating?"

Yu Changsheng's eyes softened, "I haven't had time to thank you, Madam. The eldest princess likes it very much and asked me where the rare thing came from."

Does the eldest princess like it?
"Then, has the prince eaten?"

"Young Madam personally sent someone to deliver it, how dare Changsheng live up to it?"

"That's good. I'm worried that His Highness the Crown Prince won't be used to it."

Yu Changsheng shook his head, "Young Madam's instructions are nothing more than trivial matters. What Changsheng is worried about is that the effect will not meet Madam's expectations. When the time comes, Young Madam should not blame you."

Ke Yiqing sighed, "His Royal Highness, you are too arrogant to belittle yourself. How can anyone not be fascinated by your grace?"

The two of them were playing riddles like this, and Yan Ming's nose almost became angry when he saw such a scene as soon as he appeared.

"Then why did the prince go to her place?"

Liu Ruyi, the accompanying medical officer, also followed. Hearing this, he immediately shut up and said nothing, for fear of making the King of Hell angry again.

"What am I asking you? Are you dead?"

"This……"

Fortunately, the horn sounded soon and the players were about to take the stage.

Although Yu Changsheng stood out, he still seemed weak among the family members who advocated martial arts. Ke Yiqing looked at his face that was red with cold and felt worried.

"Yu Jin, please bring these to Songbai quickly and ask him to drink some for the prince to warm up during the intermission."

Songbai over there took it and saw that it was Jiang Tang and Mrs. Tang. He was relieved to get such an object. Although he had served Yu Changsheng since he was a child, he was not as careful as the female relatives. He only remembered to bring the fox fur. These I was really unprepared.

Yan Ming had good eyesight and immediately snorted when he saw her actions. He waited for the order to sound and then flew out like an arrow from a string. He had red lips and white teeth and was wearing royal black clothes. As soon as he appeared on the scene, he had a good eye. It attracted all the attention.

Coupled with his elegant and agile figure, he feels like a fish in water once he enters the opponent's position, just like a human-loving spirit.

Even Ke Yiqing couldn't help but cast her eyes on him, and secretly wondered: "I don't know who offended him, how come he is so angry?"

After sighing with emotion, she began to pay attention to Yu Changsheng again, not because of anything else, but because in her impression, he had never been physically strong. When competing with these rough guys, she was afraid that these people would knock him down.

To her surprise, among this group of people, Yu Changsheng was actually ranked among the top.

Yu Jin hurried back and wondered: "Why does Madam suddenly care about the Crown Prince so much?"

Ke Yiqing looked nervous, "If His Royal Highness is hit, frozen, and his face looks bad, then my effectiveness in selling potatoes will be greatly reduced."

She didn't expect Yu Changsheng to win, but as the saying goes, face counts, and as long as Yu Changsheng is beautiful from beginning to end, there will naturally be many noble people who are willing to eat the same potatoes as the crown prince.

For such a reason, even Yu Jin was speechless at this moment, "Madam, you are too ruthless."

Ke Yiqing's eyes wandered when he heard this, and by accident, he actually expressed his true thoughts.

After the two of them finished chatting, when they went to look again, there was a hint of confrontation in the venue.

Her heart twitched: What's going on with this piece of shit?Why have you been targeting Yu Changsheng?

The situation at this time is indeed that the princes have the advantage. They are already in a high position, and the princes are also timid in playing. With Yan Ming assisting, it can be said that they are unstoppable all the way.

But Yan Ming left the aristocratic son alone and instead stepped forward to confront Yu Changsheng. This seemed weird and deliberate.

In the venue, Yu Changsheng looked helpless: "Master Yan, how can you compete like this?"

Yan Ming ignored him and stepped forward to grab the Cuju and challenged him: "This time I will pass the ball and you will attack. Let's see who is better between the two of us!"

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng had no choice but to agree, but was accidentally knocked down by him.

The man sneered coldly: "What a sick girl, I will definitely win her onyx pendant!"

What onyx pendant?He didn't understand what it meant, but he still pushed himself up. After all, although he was not strong, he didn't intend to give up halfway.

Ke Yiqing's heart twitched when he saw it below. What on earth is going on?
