Chapter 160 Gong Shao plays with his heart and mind [1](1/2)
Li Zheng and the other two looked along the source of the sound and saw Yuan Su's usual expressionless face standing stiffly at the door with a bit of tolerant anger.
Behind him was a tall woman with a veil, looking at her body just like an ordinary woman. She was wearing a dark purple wide-sleeved dress and wearing an exaggerated golden stroll on her head. Her eyes were exposed and she looked at Feng Chenyao in a manner.
Yuan Su coughed lightly, signaled her to follow with her eyes, and walked into the hall.
Seeing this, Li Zheng put away the smile on his face and spoke thoughtfully: "Yuan Su, what's going on?"
Feng Chenyao was worried that Qi Liyan would think too much, and did not care about what would make him feel like a bolt from the blue next time. Instead, he whispered to Qi Liyan with kind words to persuade him.
"I don't know that woman."
Qi Liyan curled his lips and said sourly: "Who do you like has anything to do with me? Is that woman related to you? Is it related to me?" Qi Liyan felt uneasy when he heard the three words Feng Chenyao.
The originally smiling face also became a little stiff!
Ye Yueren beside him noticed her change and leaned over, and asked in a low voice.
"Miss Qi, are you okay? Are you too tired?"
"No, nothing, I must be a little tired when I was shopping!" Qi Liyan's eyes were vague, he picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea to hide his emotions.
Ye Yueren knew what her emotional changes were, but he did not reveal it, "Miss Qi, if you are tired, tell me that we can leave."
"Yeah, thank you Mr. Ye!"
"Master, it's Your Highness! Your Majesty is down!" Fulin, who was standing behind him and was depressed, looked at the figure gradually walking into the pavilion and said with a little excitement.
Qi Liyan, who didn't want to see it, couldn't help but glance over there.
Feng Chenyao was surrounded by people like stars holding the moon. He was tall and elegant, wearing a purple python robe and a purple-gold dragon-shaped crown. Like a knife carving, his handsome face, his thin lips were tightly closed, and a hint of coolness and thinness was gently drawn. His sword eyebrows stood upright and slanted into his temples.
Walking in front with his hands behind his back, even in such a simple pavilion, he walked out of a kingly aura that ruled the world!
His eyes swept into the sweeping pavilion. When he saw Qi Liyan, his brows frowned and his lips moved.
"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Everyone saluted Feng Chenyao together.
"Get up!"
Feng Chenyao took his eyes back from Qi Liyan and said lightly to those who bowed. Then he turned around and walked towards the Lord.
"Your Highness, you can participate in the event this year. I am very honored to be the celestial scholars!"
Zuo Jingshu smiled and said to Feng Chenyao.
"The tutor is serious. It is a blessing for many literati to come this time!" Feng Chenyao's smile widened and he said politely to Zuo Jingshu.
After hearing this, Zuo Jingshu did not explain anything, but just smiled in understanding.
"As the ward hour has arrived, this poetry conference has officially begun!" Looking at the hourglass next to it, Feng Chenyao's internal force slightly moved up and said loudly.
After the words came, the people around him were in a state of turmoil. Zuo Jingshu slowly walked into the middle and began to say a large opening remark.
Then, Ye Yueren stood up, sorted out his clothes, and a servant next to him walked over cleverly and gave him a thick stack of paper. Then, Ye Yueren walked towards the middle.
"Making friends through literature, this poetry conference has officially begun." Now, Ye Yueren, who is slender and beautiful in the middle of the pavilion, attracted the eyes of some of the women on the boudoir watching!
"The ranking system of this competition is slightly different from before." Ye Yueren used her hands to slightly stop the onlookers' restlessness, her elegant temperament was slowly revealed, and her voice was like a mountain stream and spring water.
"The only people on the referee table that everyone has seen are the only Grand Tutor Zuo and His Highness the Prince, who have the right to evaluate whether your works have won or not. And, there are only two winners this year."
After a pause, they digested the information, they said again. "The prizes for this time are the Frost and Snow Swords, which are known as the four famous swords, and the other is the Hundred Herbs Detoxification Pill made by the Medical Sanctuary."
"Mr. Ye, over the years, all the seats in the judges have been important figures among all walks of life in Li State!"
I saw a woman wearing a light pink dress, long and swaying to the ground, with a thin waist restrained by a cloud belt, and a seven-treasure coral hairpin on her hair, which made her face look like a lotus. She slowly walked to the crowd with a gorgeous face and a pair of phoenix eyes full of charming smiles. She looked at Qi Liyan on the stage provocatively and asked Ye Yueren sharply.
"The little woman was so curious that the young lady in purple was with her identity! She could actually sit in the judge's seat! Could it be that Li Guo has now made a person of unknown origin a guest of honor for such an important event?"
"So it's Miss Ji Ruilianji from Hongxiulou!"
The woman's words made the people around Fu Moting whisper after listening to them. Several Hanlin Academy headed by Zuo Jingshu looked at Qi Liyan with a slight dissatisfaction.
Feng Chenyao wanted to say something, but when he thought that if he stood up for Qi Liyan at this time, he might cause unnecessary trouble for her. He clenched his fists and restrained himself from sitting down.
"Haha, it turns out to be Miss Ji from Hongxiulou! Miss Qi is her fiancée at home. This time I was lucky enough to take over my cousin and host this competition. My fiancée likes poetry and music. Therefore, without discussing with the person in charge this time, she made a decision and brought her over." After seeing the person clearly, Ye Yueren laughed softly and replied calmly.
"Does I have no right to bring my fiancée? Miss Ji, when did the customs of Li become the people in the fireworks land judge?"
"You..." Ji Ruilian's delicate face turned twisted instantly after listening to Ye Yueren's words, her chest was undulating, and a word stuck in her mouth and she couldn't speak.
"Okay, Mr. Ye, don't waste time here. Let's start quickly." Feng Chenyao's handsome face was filled with a hint of black air. If his eyes could kill people, he probably had been killed by him several times. He knew in his heart that the reason why Ye Yueren said that was the element of helping Qi Liyan.
But Feng Chenyao still had a hurdle that he could not overcome. At this time, he looked at Qi Liyan, who had a confused expression after hearing the words, and looked at the noble and elegant purple figure in his obsidian-like eyes, and for the first time he showed a faint possessiveness!
"Feng Chenyao, I want to see when you can break your noble and calm mask in front of others." Ye Yueren had a smile like the spring breeze of March, but she thought sarcastically in her heart.
"Okay, the first round is divided into two times, and each time eight people can compete at the same time." Ye Yueren held the manuscript, with internal force in his voice spreading around. "After the two competitions, the Zuo Taifu and His Highness the Prince discussed together to find the winner. There is no order of prizes, and choose them by themselves according to the winner's hobbies!"
“Are those prizes real or fake!”
"How can I compare this? Are poetry and music together? There is no comparison at all!"
"Hey, this is the most chaotic poetry conference I have participated in in recent years!"
...
After listening to Ye Yueren's announcement, the people around him began to talk.
At this time, Qi Liyan had already come back to his senses from what Ye Yueren said just now. He could probably guess that he wanted to relieve himself. She thought about the Shuangxue Sword and Baicao Detoxification Pill, and knew in her heart that her father had talked about the preciousness of that thing before, and thought, how could she have the chance to compete, she wanted to get both prizes!
In less than a moment, five people came up in a row. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer spaces, Qi Liyan's thoughts gradually became heavier! He wanted to ask Feng Chenyao for help, but in a sharp and provocative tone, he stopped asking for help!
Qi Liyan took back his thoughts from Feng Chenyao and looked at the source of the sound.
I saw that the woman who was speaking to Ye Yueren just now was standing at a table. Her charming face and a pair of seductive eyes were showing a smug smile, her voice was sharp and her words were sharp.
Qi Liyan took back his thoughts and wanted to ask for help from Feng Chenyao. After thinking about it, maybe he could use this as an opportunity to get the opportunity to participate in the competition. But he was also full of doubts, not knowing when he offended Ji Ruilian.
"Miss Ji, I'm very curious. What's the meaning of that thing?" Qi Li's eyes were full of smiles, staring at Ji Ruilian, and looking at her with a little confusion.
"Miss Ji, Miss Qi is a guest. Isn't it a disadvantage to letting her participate in the competition this time?" Feng Chenyao was worried about Qi Liyan's body and spoke in a deep voice.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is such a bad word! Since Miss Qi is Mr. Ye's fiancée, she is not considered a guest. The competition is also for communication, so I believe Miss Qi will not refuse!"
Ji Ruilian changed her words, "Teacher Zuo, regardless of her old body, comes to be a judge. Does Miss Qi not even give face to the tutor and the prince? Miss Qi, what do you think?"
"Miss Ji, it's good to stop!" Ye Yueren's originally smiling face gradually became gloomy, and his words were like warnings.
"The Yueren feels sorry for his fiancée!" Zuo Jingshu teased, "I also want to see what kind of talent Yueren's fiancée has."
"Teacher Zuo..." Ye Yueren and Feng Chenyao spoke at the same time, but before they could speak, they were interrupted by the lonely and firm voice.
"Yueren, His Highness the Crown Prince. Since Miss Ji invited me warmly, if I refuse, I will look petty!" The lavender trouser dress made Qi Liyan's tall figure look more noble, and stood up from the chair.
His delicate face was full of smiles, and he walked towards Ji Ruilian in small steps, "I'm so ugly to be here."
"Qi...Yan'er." Ye Yueren looked worried and called Qi Liyan.
When Qi Liyan heard Ye Yueren call him like that, he was shocked, lowered his eyebrows to hide his thoughts, and gave him a warm smile, "Yueren, nothing happened!"
"Yan'er...".
Feng Chenyao, who was sitting in the main seat, watched the changes in the air flow between the two, and his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists. He muttered to himself in a sound that only he could hear. His obsidian eyes were full of forbearance.
"Miss Ji has given up."
Qi Liyan walked to the table opposite Ji Ruilian and said lightly.
"Ms. Qi is modest."
Ji Ruilian curled her red lips and gave her a gift.
"There are enough people, so let's officially start this poetry festival!" Ye Yueren announced.
"Slow!" Zuo Jingshu made a sound to stop him, thought for a while, and said slowly, "How about this game be the two girls? Is the other six going to compete?"
I wanted to stop Zuo Jingshu's words, but after he finished speaking, the other six people thought about it and left the field in an orderly manner, so Ye Yueren had to give up.
The people around looked at the two equally outstanding women in the arena, one as elegant as a lotus and the other as charming as a peony. They were vaguely looking forward to this game!
"Since the two are ready, the competition will officially begin! With one stick of incense, stop writing and displaying works, and there is no limit on the subject matter of poetry and painting!" After Ye Yueren finished speaking, he returned to his seat.
About a cup of tea had passed, and Ji Ruilian had already prepared the paint and ink and started to pick up the pen to paint. However, Qi Liyan on the opposite side was still grinding the ink without any haste!
Ji Ruilian raised her eyes and glanced at Qi Liyan opposite her. Looking at the noble and calm figure, her eyes flashed fiercely. She quickly lowered her head and painted seriously.
Qi Liyan didn't care at all, and the eyes and whispers around him were still maintaining a transcendent mentality and slowly grinding the ink.
Except for those who were watching around, even the few people sitting in the judges showed an interesting expression and looked at the two of them.
"Your Highness, what do you think will win?"
Zuo Jingshu held the teacup and asked Feng Chenyao while drinking tea.
His eyes were drooping, Feng Chenyao was a little careless, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Your Highness, the Grand Tutor is talking to you again!" The guard behind him whispered.
"Ahem." Feng Chenyao's face was slightly clear, "When the two of them compete, the winner will be known."
Zuo Jingshu was not talking, but his eyes were on the competition field.
To be continued...
