Chapter 420: First Place……

~7 min read 1,220 words

Thinking of this, Ning Chengyan's eyes narrowed slightly, then he sighed helplessly, thinking of how his young princess consort was always ready to leave the Wang Fu, he felt somewhat helpless.

Faced with the pressing army, he never panicked; faced with Zhongzhou's pressure, he also guarded a piece of land, but only toward her……

He couldn't let go, and felt helpless.

"Yes!" The two didn't understand; isn't it just a woman?

Could it be…?

The two exchanged a glance; the general also took a liking to this woman? But hadn't they told them earlier that there was already a princess consort?

Can't fathom it; the general's thoughts are really hard to guess.

Jiang Yunchu didn't know that Ning Chengyan saw every move she made.

"Number fifty private room, vote for Yun Miao Er young lady." At that moment, the people in room fifty spoke first.

"Number forty-nine private room, vote for Yun Miao Er young lady……"

……

All the way to Ning Chengyan's private room, one person walked out, saying, "Number thirty-six private room, vote for Yun Miao Er young lady."

From number fifty down to thirty-six, everyone's votes were for Yun Miao Er.

It seems the basic outcome is already decided.

Originally Zi Niang wanted to set up some suspense, but these ladies' performances were so far apart that there was no suspense at all, and it hadn't even come to the Great Prince's decision yet.

Everything seemed already settled; Zi Niang anxiously glanced at the middle private room, but that room had no indication, and no one came out to say anything.

"Number four private room, vote for Su Jin young lady."

Su Jin……

Jiang Yunchu lifted her head, looking at the white-clad young lady, who wrinkled her nose, had been given a ticket, and instead looked rather displeased.

Actually, it's interesting!

"Number three private room, our master said the situation is already decided, so we won't vote."

The situation is already decided!

Jiang Yunchu blinked, then said, "Let's hurry up; to be honest, her legs are a bit sore from standing."

"Number two private room, vote for Su Jin young lady."

The person from room two came out, but this time the person coming out wore obviously expensive fabric; looking at Su Jin, there was a gentle smile in their eyes as they said, "Su Jin, elder brother votes for you."

Su Jin rubbed her neck, lifted her head to look at the person, truly uncomfortable.

However……

She had the same unhappy expression as in room four.

It seems this lady's identity is probably not simple; why did she come to participate in the talent competition?

For, Jiang Yunchu suddenly recalled her gaze—the Great Prince!

She is doing it for the Great Prince!

Jiang Yunchu's mouth twitched; encountering a hot-tempered young lady, yet their goals happened to be the same, they were destined not to become friends.

Although, the result she wants is different.

"Great Prince, whose ticket should you vote for?" At this moment, Zi Niang stood on stage; the other ladies had already been pulled down, leaving only Jiang Yunchu and Su Jin.

The two exchanged a glance; Su Jin smiled lightly, as if an iceberg were melting.

Jiang Yunchu didn't speak, but nodded slightly, whether it was the recent defense or anything else.

"Although it doesn't affect the result, Zi Niang would still like to know which young lady the Great Prince favors more." Zi Niang's face was a bit stiff; the two ladies remaining on stage were not from Mi Xiang Ju, and no matter who finally placed, they would only perform at Mi Xiang Ju but not stay.

And those gold coins……

Thinking about it now, I suddenly feel a pang of regret.

At this moment, the door of the private room everyone was watching suddenly opened; Su Jin's eyes suddenly brightened, she looked on with anticipation.

Like a lovestruck maiden yearning for her beloved, that appearance, that feeling of anticipation, even Jiang Yunchu far away could sense it.

With such blatant anticipation, wouldn't the Great Prince know?

She lowered her head, pondering a bit, didn't look at the second floor, but also missed Ning Chengyan's probing gaze.

"The Great Prince has ordered, the ticket for room one should be given to……"

The speaker was the Great Prince's guard, a man with a dark face, expressionless, his gaze directed at Zi Niang, not at the two ladies beside her.

Su Jin didn't see the Great Prince's figure, felt a little disappointed, yet still awaited the outcome; if he voted for her, wouldn't that mean he once had her in his heart?

But……

As everyone awaited, even the young gentlemen below were shouting in their hearts, "Su Jin, Su Jin, Su Jin……"

Everyone present wasn't foolish; they naturally understood that this Miss Su Jin was no ordinary person.

If the Great Prince chose Yun Miao Er, could they still reach out? That would be like waiting to seek death; then, like mortals fallen into the mundane world, they'd just glance once and feel an itch in their hearts.

Even if they couldn't obtain it, hearing a piece would still be good.

"Yun Miao Er."

The guard opened his mouth and directly spoke the name; for a moment, the entire hall fell silent, as if the stop button had been pressed.

Su Jin suddenly turned her head, looking at Yun Miao Er, her eyes filled with surprise, evasion, and some contemplation.

Jiang Yunchu raised her eyebrows, what does the Great Prince mean?

The young gentlemen in the hall, however, wore looks of disappointment; since the Great Prince chose Yun Miao Er, it meant they couldn't touch her, and if they touched the Great Prince's people, would they still have a chance to survive?

Ning Chengyan's eyes contracted rapidly twice, his fists clenched tightly, looking at Jiang Yunchu's eyes, he wished he could take her away right then.

"The first place in this talent competition is Yun Miao Er." Zi Niang smiled, then handed the first-place gold to Jiang Yunchu's hand; Jiang Yunchu placed her right arm on her left shoulder, saying, "Yun Miao Er thanks Zi Niang."

That voice, that graceful movement in the action, regardless of appearance, this is an absolutely beautiful figure.

"This is the contract, three performances." Zi Niang took over a contract paper; although the first was snatched away by an outsider, there was still a chance to perform, and when the time came, with heavy promotion, she could surely earn a lot; thinking this, she let it go.

Jiang Yunchu raised her eyebrows and wrote the three characters Yun Miao Er without any burden.

As for Yun Miao Er's signed contract...

Whether she admits it or not, that's not certain; moreover, Mi Xiang Ju is the Great Prince's property, she released the Great Prince's pigeons from the west wing, and frankly, she had no burden at all.

Zi Niang went to Su Jin's side again, but Su Jin said, "No need for the reward; let the Great Prince come and discuss the contract with me."

After hearing her words, Zi Niang didn't say anything else, just said, "Yes."

She still has this discernment; the identity of Miss Su Jin is probably not simple.

Others don't know, but she knows who is in booth number four and booth number two.
