Beauty and the Bodyguard

People ranked below the top ten are not even qualified to go up the steps and can only wait in the square below the steps.

The seven people at the back of the top ten can wait outside the main hall, and their treatment is several times better than those at the back.

Of course, they still can't compare with the top three.

It is definitely an honor for the top three to enter the hall.

The old eunuch took all the people who participated in the young master's meeting and walked for a long time before arriving at the main hall.

Most people did not need to be reminded and stayed in the square consciously.

The top ten continued to move forward, and when they reached the entrance of the main hall, the seven of them stopped. Lin Yi, Liu Ziyu, and Ximen Liuyan followed the old eunuch into the main hall.

It was not the time for the court meeting at this time, but the civil and military officials from Longbang's title kingdom came neatly, and seemed to attach great importance to the outcome of the meeting.

"Reporting to the king, the young master meeting has been successfully concluded. The top three winners are Mr. Liu Ziyu and Mr. Sima Zhongda from Hongshang County..."

The old eunuch paused for a moment and suddenly couldn't remember which county Ximen Liuyan came from, so his mouth trembled and he said: "The third place is Master Ximen Liuyan! The most commendable ones are Master Liu Ziyu and Sima Zhongda The young masters are all young talents from Hongshang County, and Hongshang County is really full of talents now!"

Ximen Liuyan was secretly angry. Is there anyone who introduces people like you?

Why does the third person deserve to be discriminated against?

It's not easy for me to show my face in front of the princes and civil and military officials of Longbang's title kingdom, but you, the old eunuch, make me look like I am just a passerby!

This is simply unreasonable!

But if Ximen Liuyan was to get angry right now, he would definitely not dare!

He could only complain crazily in his heart, but he had to act respectful on the outside.

"Okay! It's true that a hero comes from a boy! When I see young geniuses like you, I feel very happy!"

The prince stroked his beard and looked up to the sky laughing. No matter which county he came from, in the end he was still a member of the Long Kingdom. As long as he could be used for his own purposes, he was a good genius.

"My dear companion, take out the rewards you have planned earlier and read them out, and then drive away those who are just pretending to be fake!"

The prince waved his hand.

The old eunuch immediately bowed to accept the order. He was an old man who had grown up with the prince, so he was called the great companion by the prince.

And the rewards he was going to announce now were only for ten people.

That is to say, those people waiting in the square, not only could they not enter the main hall, but now they could only receive some ordinary rewards, and were treated like beggars.

Before the old eunuch could turn around and go out, the prince stopped again: "First companion, please wait a moment and give the rewards outside the palace gate as well. They performed quite well. You can record them and see which ones they are." In addition to giving their own rewards to the people of the county, they also give some rewards to the counties behind them."

The reward does not need to be too generous, it just needs to be appropriate. The royal family of each county can be rewarded by the Long Kingdom title, even a bag of rice and a bag of grass, that is an honor!

"I obey the king's orders!"

The old eunuch bowed again to accept the order, and then prepared to leave the hall to read out the reward, but the prince stopped him again.

"Come on, please let them all wait a little longer. The best people are still here. They are just walk-ons. They should persist until the end. You can tell me about the performance of the three of them first."

The purpose of the prince's son-in-law meeting was to choose a prince-in-law for his daughter. The three young men in front of him all looked good.

Although one of them is a little thin, he is the first place this time!

Naturally, the old eunuch would not object, and immediately recounted everything he saw and heard, with a fluctuating tone and ups and downs of the plot.

Not only did the prince listen with great interest, but all the civil and military officials were also excited.

The only person who was unhappy was Ximen Liuyan, because everything the old eunuch said was to highlight Liu Ziyu's excellence, and then he also praised Lin Yi.

As for Ximen Liuyan, he was basically not mentioned much. When he finally mentioned it, it was an embarrassing incident like being kicked in the butt by Lin Yi and sent far away!

It is conceivable that these high-level figures in Longbang's title kingdom would have any impression of Ximen Liuyan?

I guess they all wonder why Ximen Liuyan ranks among the top three? Could it be that others are more useless than him?

"Hahahaha, it's really exciting! I didn't go to watch it in person, so I seem to have missed a lot of interesting things!"

After listening to the old eunuch's description, the prince was in a very good mood and laughed heartily and said: "Hongshang County has selected two such outstanding talents this time, and they must be rewarded heavily!"

After pondering for a while, he continued: "This king's decree exempts Hongshang County from paying tribute and taxes for two years! Reward Liu Ziyu and Sima Zhongda as first-class rewards."

The rewards in the Longbang Titled Kingdom are also divided into levels. The first-level rewards are already extremely high, and there are only special-level rewards after that.

The seven at the entrance of the main hall are planned for third-class rewards, while the ones on the square are planned for only seventh-class rewards, which is completely different.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Liu Ziyu and Lin Yi thank you.

And Ximen Liuyan was a little confused, what is this? Just reward the first and second? No sound in the third place?

No, even if there is discrimination against third parties, there should be a limit, right?

There are rewards for the following four, five, six, seven and eight, but the third one cannot be without it, right?

Ximen Liuyan comforted herself secretly, don't panic, the prince must have not mentioned it yet, there will definitely be one later!

He is not greedy for any reward, but this matter is related to the face of the individual and the county. If everyone else has it and he is not, then he and the county behind him will really not be able to survive in the Longbang Titled Kingdom. Got it!

Don't panic, don't panic, there are only three people in total, and after two rewards have been given, the prince will not forget the third one!

Ximen Liuyan frantically encouraged himself in his heart, but the prince seemed to have forgotten. After talking about Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu's rewards, he simply ignored Ximen Liuyan.

"Liu Ziyu, your performance this time is really amazing. I can see it. You are really a rare genius! I admire you very much!"

The prince seemed to think that the topic of rewards was over, and was about to get down to business, completely ignoring Ximen Liuyan's fragile little heart that was about to collapse.

"I have a young daughter under my knees. I have loved her unparalleledly since she was a child. Now she has reached the marriageable age. I don't want to marry her off to another country, so I want to find a consort for her. You are good! She is very suitable for my third princess!"

The prince did not mince words and made his decision very directly: "Today, I will grant you a marriage with the third princess. From now on, you will be the consort of the third princess of Long Kingdom!"

He didn't even ask Liu Ziyu if he had any opinions, because that wasn't important. What was important was that the old eunuch vaguely mentioned that the third princess had gone to see Liu Ziyu, and she must have taken a liking to her!
