Beauty and the Bodyguard

7894 chapter 7892-the end

those who were ranked below the top ten did not even have the right to go up the steps. they could only wait in the square below the steps.

as for the seven people at the back of the top ten, they could wait outside the main hall. compared to the people at the back, their treatment was several times better.

of course, they still couldn’t be compared to the top three.

for the top three to be able to enter the main hall was definitely an honorable thing.

the old eunuch led all the participants of the young master’s party to the main hall after a long walk.

most of the people didn’t need to be reminded and consciously stayed in the square.

the top ten continued to advance and stopped at the entrance of the hall. lin yi, liu ziyu, and ximen liuyan followed the old eunuch into the hall.

it wasn’t the time for the court session, but the civil and military officials of the conferred kingdoms of the dragon state had all arrived in an orderly fashion, clearly placing great importance on the results of the young masters ‘meeting.

“your majesty, the young masters ‘meeting has ended smoothly. the top three are young master liu ziyu and young master sima zhongda from hongshang commandery …”

The old eunuch paused for a moment. He suddenly could not remember which Commandery Ximen liuyan was from. His mouth trembled and he said,””The third place goes to young master Ximen liuyan! What’s praiseworthy is that young master Liu Ziyu and young master Sima Zhongda are both young talents of Hongshang Commandery. Hongshang Commandery is really full of talents now!”

Ximen liuyan was secretly angry.”Is this how you introduce people?”

The third place deserved to be discriminated against.

It wasn’t easy for me to show my face in front of the princes and officials of the conferred kingdoms of the Dragon nation, but you, an old eunuch, are making me look like I’m just a passerby!

This was simply preposterous!

However, he would not dare to send a message to Ximen liuyan at this moment!

He could only curse madly in his heart, and still had to put on a respectful appearance.

“Good! As expected, heroes come from youngsters! When this King sees young geniuses like you, his heart is very gratified!”

The Prince stroked his beard and laughed out loud. No matter which Commandery he came from, he was still from a conferred Kingdom of the Dragon state. As long as he could be recruited for his own use, he was a good genius.

“Big companion, take out the previously drafted reward and read it out. Then, drive away those who are just here to make up the numbers!”

The Prince waved his hand.

The old eunuch immediately bowed and accepted the order. He was an old man who had grown up with the Prince, so the Prince called him his great companion.

The rewards he was going to announce now were only for the ten outer realm cultivators.

They were the people waiting in the square. Not only were they unable to enter the hall, but they could only get some ordinary rewards and were treated like beggars.

Before the old eunuch could leave, the Prince stopped him,””Wait a moment. Give them the rewards outside the hall as well. They did well. You record them and see which commanderies they are from. In addition to giving them their own rewards, give some to the commanderies behind them.”

The reward did not need to be too generous. It was enough as long as the meaning was clear. It was an honor for the royal families of each Commandery to be rewarded by a conferred Kingdom of the Dragon state, even if it was just a bag of rice or grass!

“As the king commands!”

The old eunuch bowed again and was about to leave the hall to read out the rewards when the Prince stopped him again.

“My companion, why don’t you just let them wait a little longer? the most outstanding person is still here. These extras should at least be able to last until the end. Tell this King about their performance first.”

The purpose of the Prince’s meeting was to choose a Prince Consort for his daughter. The three young men in front of him all looked quite good.

Although one of them was a little petite, he was the first place this time!

Naturally, the old eunuch did not object. He told her everything he had seen and heard, with his intonation and the plot full of ups and downs.

The Prince wasn’t the only one who was listening with great interest. All of the 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 to boost Lin Yi’s status.

As for Ximen liuyan, she didn’t talk about him at all. When she did, she only talked about the embarrassing incident where Lin Yi kicked her butt and she flew far away!

It was not hard to imagine what kind of impression the higher-ups of the conferred kingdoms of the Dragon state had of Ximen liuyan.

They would probably be wondering how Ximen liuyan managed to get into the top three. Could it be that he was relying on others to be more useless than him?

“Hahahaha, this is wonderful! This King didn’t go to see it for himself. It seems like I missed a lot of interesting things!”

The Prince was in a good mood after hearing the old eunuch’s description. He laughed heartily and said,”Hongshang Commandery has selected two such outstanding geniuses this time. They must be rewarded!”

After a moment of silence, he continued,””Pass down my decree. Hongshang Commandery will be exempted from paying Tributes and taxes for two years! Liu Ziyu and Sima Zhongda will be given first-grade rewards. ”

The rewards of conferred kingdoms were also divided into different levels. The first-class rewards were already extremely high, and the only rewards above that were special-grade rewards.

The seven people at the entrance of the hall had set the third-class reward, while the ones in the square had set the seventh-class reward. They were completely different.

“Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty!”

Liu Ziyu and Lin Yi thanked him.

On the other hand, Ximen liuyan was a little dumbfounded. What the hell? Only the first and second place? The third was silent?

No, even if he discriminated against the third place, there should be a limit, right?

There were rewards for the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth places, so the third place couldn’t be left out, right?

Ximen liuyan consoled herself.”Don’t panic. The Prince must not have mentioned it yet. There will be more!”

It was not that he was greedy for a little reward, but this matter concerned the reputation of himself and the Commandery. If everyone else had it but him, then he and the Commandery behind him would not be able to survive in the conferred Kingdom of the Dragon state!

Don’t panic, don’t panic. There were only three people in total. After rewarding two, the Prince would never forget the third!

Ximen liuyan was cheering herself on like crazy, but the Prince seemed to have forgotten all about it. He completely ignored Ximen liuyan after talking about the rewards for Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu.

“Liu Ziyu, your performance this time was indeed stunning. This King can see that you’re truly a rare genius! This King really admires you!”

The Prince seemed to think that the topic of rewards had ended and was about to get to the main topic. He completely ignored Ximen liuyan’s fragile little heart that was about to collapse.

“This King has a young daughter who has been pampered unparalleled since she was young. Now that she has reached marriageable age, this King doesn’t want her to marry far away to another country, so I want to find her a Prince Consort. The third Princess who is very suitable for this King!”

The Prince didn’t beat around the bush and directly said,”Today, this King will bestow a marriage between you and the third Princess. From now on, you will be the Prince Consort of the third Princess of a conferred Kingdom of the Dragon state!”

He did not even ask if Liu Ziyu had any opinions, because that was not important. What was important was that the old eunuch had vaguely mentioned that the third Princess had gone to see Liu Ziyu, and she must have taken a fancy to him!
