After the first round ended, the second round of drawing lots began.
The winners and Tang Feng, who had a bye in the first round, were once again placed into the two bronze urns.
The people drawing lots this time were no longer Zhangsun Wuji and Li Xiaogong, but Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling.
"Cheng Chuliang versus Zhou Dexian."
……
"Su Qingyuan versus Chen Yunliang."
……
"Hou Wenxin versus Mou Ruhu."
……
Tang Feng stood there and listened to the eunuch read out the names one by one. However, after waiting for a long time, his name still did not come.
He did not hear his name even after the fifty pairs and one hundred people had drawn their lots.
"No way." Li Chengqian slowly turned his head and looked at Tang Feng as he shouted with a stunned expression.
Tang Feng smiled bitterly and spread his hands helplessly, indicating that he was also very helpless.
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, who were in charge of drawing lots, looked at the last bamboo stick and exchanged glances.
"This kid's luck is too heaven-defying.”Looking at the name on the bamboo stick, Du Ruhui said with a bitter smile.
Li Er sat at the highest spot on the grandstand and listened to the eunuch read out the names one by one. However, after waiting for a long time, he still did not hear the name he wanted to hear. He could not help but frown.
"One hundred people in this round, two against one. One person gets a bye. The person who gets a bye will automatically advance to the next round. The person who gets a bye this round is Tang Feng.”
When the eunuch's voice rang out, the huge training ground fell silent.
Everyone's eyes turned to Tang Feng.
"What are these guys doing? Could it be that Li Jing, that old fool, secretly stuffed money into their pockets? It's fine this time, but he let that kid take a free pass twice.”Before anyone else could say anything, Li Er stopped.
Empress Zhangsun, who was sitting at the side, couldn't help but chuckle when she saw the somewhat irritable Emperor.
"Your Majesty, no matter how great Duke Wei's reputation is, he should not have bet on the four important officials of the Lingyan Pavilion. That child has been let off twice. I'm afraid his luck today is really bad.”Empress Zhangsun said gently.
Although Li Er also knew that Empress Zhangsun's words made sense, he was still very unhappy when he thought of Tang Feng's two draws.
After all, he had the intention to test Tang Feng's ability through this competition. Now, it had been two rounds of the competition, but Tang Feng had yet to go on stage.
The hot-tempered Li Er looked around and finally found Tang Feng in the training field.
However, when he saw the two people with Tang Feng, his brows twitched slightly.
"It seems that Chengqian is trying to get close to that kid. Two days ago, he even went to Duke Wei's Public House to ask for a copybook for Changle.”When he said this, Li Er's voice clearly carried a trace of sarcasm.
Looking at the Emperor who was beginning to doubt again, Empress Zhangsun could not help but frown slightly. The Emperor had been suspicious of the Crown Prince for a long time. Even as the Empress, she could not persuade him on this matter.
"Go and invite the Crown Prince over." Li Er ordered the eunuch beside him with a cold face.
The head eunuch hurriedly responded and jogged down the viewing platform.
"Congratulations, Young Master Tang, you have successfully advanced again.”The woman beside Li Chengqian had a faint smile on her face as she congratulated Tang Feng.
Looking at that smile that was like a hundred flowers blooming, Tang Feng only felt that his soul was about to be hooked away.
Although he had already guessed the identity of this woman, he did not say it out loud.
At this moment, the eunuch ran over.
"Your Highness, His Majesty invites you over.”The Head Eunuch approached Li Chengqian and bowed.
As he spoke, he glanced at the woman beside Li Chengqian, only to see the other party repeatedly winking at him. Having been in the palace for more than ten years, he had long trained his seven orifices exquisite heart. In an instant, he understood the other party's meaning and did not greet him again.
"Tang Feng, please take care of Wudang for me. I'll be back soon.”Li Chengqian said to Tang Feng without thinking too much.
Tang Feng smiled and nodded. Then, he cupped his hands and bowed to Li Chengqian.
After Li Chengqian left, only Tang Feng and the white-robed woman were left.
At this moment, Tang Feng finally had the chance to seriously look at the person beside him.
She had long black hair and exquisite facial features. Although she did not have any accessories, she gave off a natural beauty. She was about 1.65 meters tall and had a graceful figure. In this era where the average height of women was only 1.5 meters, she was definitely considered tall.
Although she was dressed in men's clothing and her chest was specially bound with something, she could still feel her fullness and firmness.
His elegant temperament was even more outstanding.
Legend had it that the Li Clan of the Great Tang had a portion of Hu blood flowing through their veins. Looking at the woman's unique eyes, it seemed that this was true.
"Young Master Tang, I saw that your zither was filled with admiration for a woman. I'm very curious about what kind of person the woman you admire is.”The white-robed woman looked at Tang Feng and said in a gentle voice.
Hearing the woman's question, Tang Feng fell silent.
Ever since he came to this world, he had already made plans for his life. He had also thought about what the woman he would spend the rest of his life with would be like.
Although Li Wan was beautiful, she wasn't his type. Moreover, the misunderstanding between the two of them and this wrong marriage made it difficult for them to truly be together.
The people who truly loved each other should be looking at each other inadvertently and quietly approaching each other.
"At the very least, you have to be talented, cultured, and cultured. Secondly, you have to be reasonable, not arrogant, not impatient, and not easily vent your anger. In terms of figure and appearance, it's naturally best if you have such a good appearance.”After pondering for a moment, he said with a smile.
