"The imperial city is really bustling. I don't know which of the princes and princesses who came here have a greater chance of winning the competition. I heard that the gambling houses in the streets have started betting, and they are all placing bets on who can win."
Xia Tan'er mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, just to find out Nanling's plans. Currently, only Feng Muchi, Donglingjiu and Xue Chen knew about her participation in the Kyushu Festival. At this time, it is best to inquire if she is not competitive. .
Although Xia Tan'er herself has collected relatively detailed information, there are some things that only these old opponents know.
But Yan'er is not a brainless person. She didn't mention anything about Nanling, but she told Xia Taner clearly about Xiling and Beiling.
"There are two princesses and three princes coming to Xiling this time, the third princess Xilingyao, the fifth princess Xilingmo, the fourth prince Xilingjin, the sixth prince Xilingche and the seventh prince Xilingbai."
"Compared to the two princesses, Xiling Yao is more talented. As for the three princes, I only know that the sixth prince, Xiling Che, is a fool. He only knows how to follow the third princess and accomplish nothing else. The other two have ordinary qualifications and have no chance of winning. high."
"A princess and two princes came to Beiling. Beiling is located in a grassland and a cold place. They are very good at riding. And the eldest princess Beiling Xue is the best. She is as strong as the men. She can ride and shoot well. But she doesn’t like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Logically speaking, she should be able to participate in men’s competitions, so she has a better chance of winning.”
"Although the Left and Right Kyushu Festival is divided into competitions between men and women, it does not require men and women to participate. It will be good if you can win the competition in the end."
It seemed that Beilingxue was also one of her opponents, and Xia Tan'er couldn't help but think deeply.
"Doctor Tan, is your room here?"
"Um?"
Xia Tan'er looked over in response and realized that she had arrived at the door of her room unknowingly. The oil lamp had already been lit in the room. Needless to say, Dong Lingjiu must have been waiting inside.
Nan Lingmu didn't know about her affair with Dong Lingjiu yet. Yan'er would definitely find this out if she went in. Xia Tan'er hurriedly found an excuse to send Yan'er away.
"Yes, that's right. Yan'er, please go back and take care of His Highness the Second Prince. I also need to sort out the medicinal materials I brought out today. It will take a long time before I can rest. It would not be good if no one is there when His Highness the Second Prince goes to bed."
Yan'er wanted to say something else, but after listening to Xia Tan'er's words, she agreed.
"Doctor Tan, please rest early, Yan'er will leave."
Xia Tan'er nodded and watched Yan'er leave before opening the door.
When he entered, he didn't see Dong Lingjiu's figure. Xia Tan'er looked around and found that Dong Lingjiu was already lying on the bed with his eyes closed and concentrating.
Xia Tan'er put down the medicine box, took off her cloak, tiptoed gently to the bed and sat down.
Looking at Dong Lingjiu's sleeping face, Xia Tan'er felt a touch of tenderness in her heart. Dong Ling Jiu's appearance was really good-looking, and Xia Tan'er couldn't help but reach out and touch his cheek.
As the cold fingertips were about to approach, the big and generous hand suddenly emerged from the quilt, held Xia Tan'er's hand and placed it back into the warm quilt.
"Why are your hands so cold?"
"Uncle Nine Emperors, you're awake."
"Well, I have been waiting for you in the room for a long time and I didn't see you come back, so I had to come over and warm your bed first. Where have you been?"
Dong Lingjiu stood up and sat on the bedside, looking at Xia Tan'er in front of him without blinking. Maybe the candlelight tonight was too gentle, and Xia Tan'er's whole body seemed to be enveloped in a mist, and there was something hazy in it. I want people to find out.
"I didn't know you were here. I watched Feng Muchi and the others playing mahjong for a long time in the dining room. If I hadn't heard Yan'er tell me how Nanling Mu came, I would have thought it was Uncle Nine Emperors who had tricked them into staying. Come here so that I won’t be alone in a separate courtyard with Xue Chen.”
