C66 Part2

....

The torrential rain came and went quickly, and the dampness quickly disappeared as soon as the sun came out.

The deaths of Fan Xiao Wen and Wang Zheng cast a shadow over the consortium of the Recruitment Competition, and some family members even persuaded their children to withdraw from the Competition.

If you could become a Royal Consort Husband and enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth, it would be naturally excellent.

However, compared with life, life was naturally more important.

'What glory and wealth can you enjoy if you die?'

However, eventually, all the twelve young talents who had passed the Preliminary Test of the Martial Arts Test, gathered as scheduled.

The Final Match also took place in front of the Wenhua Hall, and many ministers and family members came to watch this crucial battle.

Each match was again divided into groups of three people, battling each other, and the four winners would be then judged by the Emperor and Murong Yu, combining their Literary Test, to select the top three.

Finally, Princess Zhaohua and the Emperor would be selecting the most excellent Candidate to become her Consort Husband from the top three.

Murong Ci thought that Murong Yu would not come, but unexpectedly, he came halfway through the Competition.

Murong Chang also came to watch the Competition happily and tenderly, but she didn't see him, and suddenly turned listless like an eggplant beaten by frost.

The more she looked at those young talents battling against each other, using those Martial Arts tricks, the more bored she got.

Her body slowly slid down, her head tilted, and she fell asleep.

Suddenly she heard her close court-lady Yuan Xiu whispering in her ear:

"The Royal King is coming."

She seemed to have been given a shot of a heart attack, and immediately straightened up, posing in the most graceful and charming manners, and unconsciously touching her hair buns with her right hand to see if it wasn't messed up, asking Yuan Xiu behind her:

"How do I look?

Is my hair messed up?

How about the clothes?"

As she asked, she was staring at him walking down the stairs, and she curled her lips and smiled, showing her noble elegance.

Yuan Xiu whispered:

"The Princess looks fine."

Murong Chang looked at him ecstatically.

No matter when it was, no matter where he was, he was so radiant and majestic!

His words and actions were full of fascinating souls and dizzying charms, so that she would never get tired of staring at him.

Murong Yu stepped onto the jade steps dressed in colorful sunlight and sat down in his own carved chair.

She turned to stare at him, unable to look away.

Murong Ci could feel the blazing glamorous eyes of the Princess Sister, shrugging unbearably all over the place.

So in the next Match, she became like an arrow target, shot through by the eyes of her Princess Sister over and over again.

She even wanted to change positions with her several times, but she also knew that Murong Yu would definitely kill her.

In the end, the four winners were: Gong Jun Hao, Rong Qing Ting, Yang Peng Fei and Gu Shao Qian.

Some people were happy and some were sad, but there would be only one Consort Husband in the end, and the others were destined to be disappointed.

He Guang, Minister of the Ministry of Etiquettes and Rituals, reported the final result of the Competition to Murong Yu and Murong Ci the, trembling nervously with the fear of what the future held for himself after the recent events.

Murong Yu took the list of the winners, and immediately left on his carriage.

Murong Chang was thinking hard about how to invite him to her Jinghong Palace.

When she saw him walking away, she hurried to catch up with him, but after a few steps, she stopped, with her delicate eyebrows tilting with sadness.

"Prince Sister, you shouldn't take it so hard."

Murong Ci persuaded.

"No, this Princess will never give up halfway!"

Murong Chang slowly raised her right hand into a fist.

"There has never been anything that I couldn't get once I wanted it."

Looking at her firm belief and the cold light bursting out of her beautiful eyes, Murong Ci couldn't help being shocked.

She had never seen such a fierce look of the Princess Sister.

What she couldn't tell for sure was whether the Princess Sister's affection for Murong Yu was because of the fact that he couldn't be obtained by her and she wanted to conquer him at all costs, or if she was moved by a true affection for him and thus she'd never be able to live without him.

'What is the Princess Sister going to do next?'
