Wait a minute, heroine

The carriage stopped outside the main entrance of the palace, and the black police officers were ready to go.

Ye Jingtang stood in the snow with a sword hanging on his waist, holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, looking at the majestic imperial city not far away. After waiting for a while, the sound of dense footsteps came from behind the screen wall.

Tap tap tap~

Ye Jingtang looked back under the umbrella and saw a row of beauties emerging from the dragon screen wall. The one in the center was Da Benben with his head held high.

However, what was different from the past was that Dongfang Liren was not too high-profile when participating in literary events. He changed out of his fat-headed dragon python costume and changed into a white lady's skirt.

The skirt has a lace diagonal collar, a half-inch waist that ties the willow waist, and the skirt is a loose pleated skirt. Because the legs are slender, they look like graceful lilies when walking.

The lower body is so slender. If the upper body is ordinary, it will look a bit dry. Maybe it is for balance. The skirt of Dongfang Liren's clothes is very full, and the overall composition looks like a sunny doll.

Coupled with the exaggerated height of the nine-headed body, the fat dragon dragon really feels stupid when walking, and his head is bigger than the petite maid next to him...

Ye Jingtang looked back and felt an overwhelming sense of oppression. In terms of aura, the only person in the world who could rival Da Benben was probably the Great Master Pingtian.

However, the Grand Master's chest is a bit flat, and he may not be able to hold it down. I wonder if it's because of the chest wrap...

Tap tap tap...

Dongfang Liren showed no expression of joy or anger, and slowly walked out of the palace gate. He saw the expert next to him standing at the foot of the steps holding an umbrella and looking back. He looked at her figure up and down, and his eyebrows furrowed:

"Ahem~"

"oh……"

Ye Jingtang quickly put away his distracting thoughts, turned around and came to the steps, holding the umbrella over Big Benben's head:

"Your Highness is so elegant in this outfit, I almost didn't recognize him."

Surrounded by guards and maids, Dongfang Liren naturally couldn't say "hehe~", but Ruoyouruowu just said "hum~" and walked towards the carriage without squinting:

"The person you captured last night is Han Yuzhuo, the master of Qianji Sect. He is nicknamed 'Ghost in the Mist' and is quite famous in Beiliang..."

Ye Jingtang captured someone in just two or three moves. He didn't think he was that powerful, but there were not many people in the world who could survive three moves under his hands. Han Yuzhuo was able to dodge his first counterattack and put him on the spot. He is indeed a hero in the world of martial arts.

Ye Jingtang held an umbrella, sent Benben to the carriage, and asked:

"Did you ask for anything?"

"He has a tough mouth. Shang Jianli tortured him both softly and hard all night without revealing a single word. He was still being interrogated in the dungeon..."

"Sir, you won't just hit me without asking questions, will you?"

"?"

"Just kidding."

Ye Jingtang put away his umbrella and sat down next to Dongfang Liren.

Dongfang Liren was leaning on the small couch. He was originally going to pick up a book to review. When he saw Ye Jingtang entering the carriage, he forgot the etiquette and consciously moved closer to him. His eyes could not help but become cold:

"Did I ask you to sit here?"

Ye Jingtang smiled and raised his hand to help Dongfang Liren pour tea:

"It's cold, let's sit together to keep warm."

?

Dongfang Liren put down the book and said seriously:

"Yejingtang, haven't you noticed that you are getting thicker and thicker? I remember when I first entered the capital, I smiled at you, but you didn't even pretend to say anything, and you followed the way of a gentleman. Why are you so obsessed with me now? "

Ye Jingtang smiled and said: "I have always been relatively open-minded. It was just that I was too open-minded when I first came to Beijing. I was so angry that Ning'er didn't eat for a whole day, so I became more restrained."

"As lustful as I am lustful, and magnanimous..."

Dongfang Liren's eyes were filled with displeasure, but he still caught the tea cup when it was brought to him.

Gulu gulu——

The carriage slowly set off.

Ye Jingtang felt that it was really novel for Da Benben to dress like this. He had nothing to do while sitting next to him, so he tilted his head and looked up and down.

If it were normal times, Dongfang Liren would probably turn a blind eye if she was treated lightly, but later on, she would have to find a place for her sister, so she couldn't make any mistakes. When she saw this, she said seriously:

"Be honest. I've been dressing up all morning, and you've rubbed me into a mess. How will I see anyone later? I'm not allowed to kiss, and I spent a long time putting on rouge..."

Ye Jingtang shook his head helplessly, took his fair left hand, put it in his palm, rubbed it, and breathed out again:

"I'm just admiring it, I didn't do anything."

Dongfang Liren was warmed by his hands, but he didn't say anything and turned to ask:

"What happened at Furong Pond the day before yesterday? Where did you learn that rhetoric? Is there someone with guidance behind your back?"

Ye Jingtang knew that Benben would ask, so he said:

"The righteousness of chivalry is to serve the country and the people. What I said does not go beyond the scope of 'chivalry'. What's so strange about saying it? As for the advice of an expert, this does have..."

"Huh?" Dongfang Liren blinked and leaned closer: "Who?"

Ye Jingtang said with a smile: "Who else could it be? I was promoted by His Highness and served in the Hei Yamen. Even if His Highness didn't say it clearly, I could learn a lot through hearing and seeing..."

?

Dongfang Liren was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he raised his hand and lightly hammered Ye Jingtang on the shoulder:

"You're so good, Ye Jingtang. I value you so much. You haven't learned how to flatter people in the officialdom, but you've learned it very well..."

These words were obviously made out of joy, and were mostly coquettish.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang felt that Benben should reward him. At that moment, he didn't bother Benben to be arrogant and leaned over to give him a peck on his lips.

Bo~

Dongfang Liren did not hide away, but after the kiss, his face turned cold and he drew his sword:

"Presumptuous! I told you not to touch anything..."

"I understand my mistake, I will pay attention next time..."

"snort……"

…

The two of them were flirting like this, and it took less than half a quarter of an hour for the carriage to arrive at Wutong Street.

In the Wei Dynasty, where martial arts were popular, fights between literati were far less popular than duels between warriors; after all, the competition was one standing and the other lying down. It was clear and neat, and even laymen could watch it with excitement. However, when literati fight, most people are excited. can't read.

However, there are many literati in this place in the capital. I heard that Prince Jing wanted to find the most talented woman in Yanjing to take over. Basically all the literati from Wende Bridge came. The dandy who originally ruled Wutong Street may be afraid of being scolded by his elders. Today, there is no trace of them all. The dusty atmosphere that once filled the streets has turned into the aroma of books. Walking in feels like entering an academy, and young scholars can be seen everywhere.

Although Dongfang Liren was wearing ordinary clothes, the large carriage with horses and horses was still there after all. Before they reached the street entrance, the carriages and horses on the street all gave way to the road.

Night Terror Hall did not show up. He waited for the carriage to enter the backyard of Longyin Building from the side alley, then he opened the oil-paper umbrella and sent Benben off the carriage. He was as angry as if he was sending his girlfriend to take an exam. As he walked, he enlightened:

"Don't be nervous, it's just a private discussion, it's not like we're risking the face of both countries..."

Putting aside his combat power, Dongfang Liren had indeed developed a calm aura in the face of danger. He walked towards Longyin Tower unhurriedly and said with a frown:

"Do you think I will lose?"

Ye Jingtang has great confidence in Benben, but Hua Qingzhi is not an ordinary person. He smiled and said:

"I'm just a martial artist. I don't understand these things. I'm just talking casually. There is no false warrior under the reputation. Don't be afraid of strong enemies, let alone underestimate them. You must keep a normal mind..."

"This king knows."

…

Dongfang Liren really wanted to take Ye Jingtang to the lobby with him, but now there are rumors about her and Ye Jingtang's scandal all over the city. Appearing together to participate in such an occasion that has nothing to do with official business is equivalent to publicizing their relationship. For this reason, he walked into the building After that, he motioned to the second floor:

"Go to the Lanzhu Pavilion upstairs. I asked Wang Chihu to prepare it for you in advance. If you want a piano player and a dancer to accompany you, you can order it yourself. If you don't like it, you can choose some maids."

The eyes of the palace maids who were following behind were brightened, and they immediately raised their eyes behind their backs, with a "choose me, choose me" attitude.

Ye Jingtang shook his head at this and said with a smile: "This is an elegant place, so what do you think of a girl? I'll go up first. If you have any arrangements, just give me a look from your highness."

Dongfang Liren saw Ye Jingtang recognized the situation and nodded with satisfaction. After watching him go up the stairs, he led many followers through the aisle behind Longyin Tower and entered the hall.

———

Longyin Tower is the highest-level restaurant in the capital. It is usually used for official banquets. Grand events such as poetry gatherings and national chess tournaments are also held here, but it does not accept competitions between masters.

It's not that the owner doesn't want to take it, but the two grandmasters are competing and the ticket money collected is not enough to renovate Longyin Tower.

After the two Wugui fights, Wutong Street may be gone. For this reason, the fight is usually held on Hutai Street, where there is a special venue.

The Longyin Building is three stories high, with a spacious hall in the middle, surrounded by elegant rooms with bead curtains. The corridors are opened at the back, and the windows face the hall, so that guests can visit.

At this time, the table and the four treasures of the study were already placed in the middle of the hall. There were two rows of Taishi chairs on the left and right, with famous scholars and scholars sitting on them, such as the father and daughter of Zhou Laofu and his daughter from the Imperial Academy, the masters from Baima Academy, etc., including many from Beiliang. The division commander is regarded as the referee.

Behind the Grand Master's chair, there were a hundred or ten people standing densely, all of whom were scholars. There were also specialized musicians playing music in the corner of the hall.

Dongfang Liren walked out of the aisle, and the entire hall became quiet for a while, all turning their heads.

Dongfang Liren raised his eyes and saw that a woman was already sitting in the center of the hall.

The woman has a very elegant and intellectual temperament. She is sitting in a wheelchair with a maid standing behind her. She looks quite pleasant. When she sees her walking in, she is ready to stand up with the wheelchair in hand.

Dongfang Liren was about to show off his courtesy, but he never thought that this talented girl from Northern Liang would give her a stick when they met.

Hua Qingzhi stood up and bowed, smiling as if seeing a friend:

"When will I arrive? How many times the cool breeze blows away my dreams. Your Highness Prince Jing, this little girl has been waiting here for a long time."

"...?"

As soon as the words came out, the already quiet hall became completely silent.

The smiles of many literati froze, and they turned to look at His Highness Prince Jing who had just entered the door, secretly thinking that something was wrong.

After all, even a layman could tell that the most talented woman in Yanjing was trying to show off her power and directly created a problem.

When will the departure arrive? A few cool breezes blow away dreams.

This first couplet is not difficult, but it is quite tricky to put Dongfang Liren's name in it.

The party whose name is called must return the name in a reasonable manner, otherwise they will be squeezed when they enter the door. What's the point of competing?

Many literati in the Wei Dynasty secretly thought that something was wrong and began to think anxiously.

Dongfang Liren's steps slowed down slightly, and his eyelids twitched. He obviously didn't expect that this gentle and weak-looking girl would be so murderous!

Although he felt the menacing approach of the other party, Dongfang Liren's expression did not change much. He walked slowly to the hall and made a scholarly salute:

"Youlong is here now. Three coins of Qingzhi will dispel the cold.

"I'm so busy with official duties in the yamen, I'm so late, leaving Miss Hua to wait here in the freezing cold. I heard that Miss Hua was inconvenienced, so I sent some Angelica dahurica to Miss Hua. Cooking porridge and soup in winter can relieve the cold and relieve the cold." Don’t dislike it, Miss Wanghua.”

"..."

As soon as the words fell, the noise in the entire hall disappeared.

The solemn expression on the face of the famous teacher turned into surprise.

The students at the back were astonished. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, they would have clapped and cheered.

Angelica dahurica, also known as Qingzhi, has the medicinal effect of dispelling wind, relieving pain and dispersing cold. If you think about it slowly, even the great scholars here can come up with a suitable second line.

But as soon as they entered the door, they suddenly encountered this blow. They couldn't guarantee that they could match the second couplet so skillfully in just a few steps, without losing the host's apology for being a step late, and the prince's manners were so good that he did not confuse the great Wei Dynasty. The prince's posture was too low.

Although it is just a short sentence, his erudition, ingenuity and quick wit are undoubtedly displayed.

Everyone present had a look of amazement in their eyes, even Hua Qingzhi looked surprised, and the calmness in her eyes turned into a serious look.

After all, Hua Qingzhi was sitting here thinking about the first couplet, and the queen didn't even stop when she entered the door, and she made a reasonable response. This strength is definitely the strongest among the women she has met.

And to say that the one who was most shocked was the Night Terror Hall.

Ye Jingtang was going up the stairs. After hearing the two sentences in the hall, his eyes were full of surprise and he thought to himself:

Damn...

Could this be my big idiot?

How can I, a common man in the world, be worthy of such a talented woman who is well-spoken, talented and beautiful?

Ye Jingtang remembered the old joke about Benben and asked him to draw a notebook. He just felt that he was burning the harp and boiling the crane while the cow chewed the peonies. It was not easy for Benben not to dislike him.

Ye Jingtang was naturally filled with joy that his sweetheart was in the limelight, but when he secretly sighed and walked up the stairs and opened the door to the private room, he discovered that there was a woman in the private room.

! !

Ye Jingtang thought he had accidentally walked into the wrong door and quickly closed the door.

Bang~

But when he looked up, he saw that it did say Lanzhuxuan, so he pushed open the room again and looked around.

The private room is quite spacious, with carpets inside and beaded curtains hanging on the windows. There are chess tables and the four treasures of the study, etc., so that the guests can review the game while playing. The tea couch in the back is also very spacious and can accommodate four or five girls accompanying the wine.

At this time, the room was clean and tidy, and there were no outsiders. There was only a girl in red standing at the window.

The woman's dress was very thin, and her plump and tall figure was clearly on display. She leaned against the window wall with her arms folded across her chest and looked down. Although her demeanor was very casual, her apricot eyes were wide open, like a bird. He was obviously stunned.

?

Night Terror Hall didn't even need to look at their faces to recognize who was in the room from their heroic figure that is rare in the world:

"Miss Yuhu?"

Ye Jingtang looked around, then entered the room and closed the door. He was very surprised:

"Why are you here?"

The empress of Wei was so angry a few days ago that she couldn't eat. Her sister came to find a place for her. How could she not be there?

However, although it was thrilling and breathtaking to watch, the imperial aura still had to be maintained.

The Empress of Wei stood up straight slowly, walked to the chess couch and sat sideways, signaling to the other side:

"The Queen Mother was bored in the palace. She heard that Prince Jing came over to play chess with others. She came out to have a look, so I followed."

"Huh?" Ye Jingtang turned his eyes and looked outside: "Is the Queen Mother here too?"

"What, you want to say hello?"

"..."

The Night Terror Hall was naturally not happy about it, so he just smiled and said, "It's just an accident."

The Empress of Wei turned to look downstairs and sighed:

"He can deal with such a tricky couplet in just a few steps. Prince Jing's intelligence is really impressive..."

“It’s beyond reach.”

Ye Jingtang sat down opposite and sighed:

"I answered it so quickly, I felt like I didn't even have to think about it. It was really scary."

The Empress felt the same way. Although she was tortured miserably the day before yesterday, it could not change her hobby. Although she did not dare to quarrel with the two gods below, she could secretly have fun pecking each other in the private room.

For this reason, the Empress of Wei leaned down and said:

"Seeing Prince Jing show his prestige for the country, I got interested too. Mr. Ye is very talented in literature, how about we also come and fight him?"

Ye Jingtang was a little funny, shook his head and said:

"I don't know anything about these things. Miss Yuhu can tell me that 'all lovers in the world are drunk together', but I can tell a person that 'no enemies in the universe wake up together'."

The Empress of Wei blinked her eyes and thought for a moment:

"The universe has no enemies and ghosts wake up together...it's quite neat..."

?

Ye Jingtang stopped pouring the wine, looked up at Miss Yuhu, and hesitated to speak.

The Empress of Wei was just joking. Although her literary talent was not good, as a generation of emperors, she was not ignorant. She held the side of her face with her hands and said:

"Young master, you are not willing to accompany me to recite poems and compose poems?"

His eyes were very charming, with a touch of pity.

How could Ye Jingtang resist this? He said helplessly:

"How could that happen? You just have to be right. Don't take it personally if I tell you nonsense."

"It's just for fun, how can I be serious about it?"

The Empress of Wei turned her eyes and looked downstairs, thinking for a moment:

"The spring breeze is proud of the beautiful flowers."

Ye Jingtang placed the wine glass in front of Miss Yuhu and blurted out:

"Xia Yu makes the leaves look ugly."

?

The corners of Empress Wei's mouth twitched, and she almost couldn't hold back her laughter. She picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp:

"Not bad. Well...the tiger leaps and the dragon soars across the sky and the earth."

"The cat falls and the snake falls into the water and the mountain is narrow!"

"Young master is really talented~..."

…

The two of them were sitting at the table, talking nonsense to each other. Although the pairings were messy, their appearance, manners, temperament and conversation were all like a talented and beautiful woman who drank and sang with each other. We were warm and harmonious.

At the same time, downstairs, the atmosphere was much more tense.

Dongfang Liren entered the hall, exchanged a few words with Hua Qingzhi, then sat down in front of the chess table in the center, and asked calmly:

"I heard that Miss Hua has four special skills in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Coincidentally, I also know a little bit about this. I wonder which one Miss Hua would like to start competing with?"

Hua Qingzhi was sitting in a wheelchair, with crooked eyebrows and a calm tone:

"I am slightly inferior to Your Highness in calligraphy and painting, and Your Highness is not as good as the little girl in piano and chess. After comparing these four, it is a tie in the end. In my opinion, it is better for us to determine the outcome of the round first, so that the formal competition will be later, and the loser will know that he will lose. , maybe he will realize his shame and then be brave, making the game more exciting."

Dongfang Liren had studied Hua Qingzhi's calligraphy, painting and chess records in Mingyu Tower. She didn't take them seriously, but the chess style was too fierce and her chances of winning were not high.

As for the subject of piano playing, she had very little experience with it, and after the last four rounds, it might really be a draw.

Seeing that Hua Qingzhi was so powerful that she didn't even want a draw but had to decide the winner or loser, Dongfang Liren was not afraid and asked:

"What does the girl want to compete with in this first round?"

Hua Qingzhi sat across the desk and said softly:

"Writing is not the first. Unless the difference between the quality of poems and songs is too great, it is difficult for the seniors here to make a fair evaluation. However, this is not the case with couplets. It is clear at a glance whether they are right or not. The little girl and His Highness asked each other questions. , until the winner is determined, what do you think, Your Highness?"

Most of the discussions between literati were about this. Dongfang Liren had already prepared for it, so he did not hesitate at the moment and raised his hand slightly:

"Miss Hua is a guest, please come first."

Hua Qingzhi nodded, smiled, and spoke in a soft voice:

"I recently heard a couplet from a great talent, which is 'Pennis plays chess, and the pine nuts fall with the chess pieces.' I responded with the sentence, 'Watch the plum blossoms in the snow, and the snowflakes always fly with the plum blossoms.' Although they are confrontational, the artistic conception is the same. A little less, I wonder if your highness has a clever solution?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the celebrities and scholars in the room frowned and began to think about it, and they also whispered to each other about the discussion.

Dongfang Liren's eyes widened a little, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

? ?

What did you say?

I heard it from a great talent recently?

Isn't this a trick that the pervert from Ye Jingtang secretly gave me?

After touching me for a whole day, I just said this and let my opponent know the question in advance...

! !

Dongfang Liren glanced at the window above from the corner of his eye, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Ye Jingtang, on the other hand, was already on his back, waving helplessly behind the bead curtain, his mouth still moving, and he seemed to be saying - Benben, please listen to my explanation, it's all a misunderstanding...

This king won’t listen!

Dongfang Liren's eyes changed. Just now when he looked at Miss Hua, he was still a respectable opponent, but now he turned into the "simple on the surface but sinister on the inside" Beiliang Hu Meizi, who bullied her sister and even secretly hooked up with her lover. , and even dared to ridicule her face to face?

Beiliang was trying to catch him with both hands. While sending assassins, he also used a beauty trap, right? !

Dongfang Liren's heart turned a thousand times in an instant, but his expression remained unchanged and he said:

"Isn't that great talent very handsome?"

Hua Qingzhi didn't know that the Queen across from her was trying to test her. She had a crooked smile and even spoke with a little joy:

"Indeed, he is very handsome. He is the only one seen in the world. Does your Highness know who he is?"

Could this king not know? !

That's my man!

Dongfang Liren saw the other party's smiling face and already understood in his heart. Seeing that the situation was not right, he did not hesitate to ask more questions and just calmly said:

"Of course I know that he is one of my subordinates. He told me this couplet before. The second line is 'Fishing by the willows, the willow threads are always hanging with the fishing lines'."

"oh……"

The celebrities and scholars present all nodded, feeling that the artistic conception and charm of this second couplet were indeed much more relevant.

As for who this subordinate is...

The night before yesterday, the Duke showed his prowess in Furong Pond, and he was one of the chief officials who received the envoys from Beiliang. It was not surprising to see Hua Qingzhi. Prince Jing almost made it clear, who else could it be?

Thinking of this, many literati present looked strangely, sensing that something was not right between the two talented women...

No wonder Prince Jing hurriedly called for people to come over for a discussion. He was here to teach the foxy people outside...

Hua Qingzhi didn't have so many thoughts. After hearing the second line, she nodded thoughtfully:

"I see. It's time for Your Highness to propose the question."

Dongfang Liren did not take advantage of this and said:

"If you know the second line in advance, you won't win without force. Miss Hua can ask another question. But it's best not to say what I have heard. After all, the strength of others is not your own ability."

When Hua Qingzhi saw this, she stopped playing house. After some consideration, she used her best poem for spring boudoir as the title and said:

"Where is my beloved? The jade flute is broken, leaving only fallen flowers all over the ground, a garden of fragrant grass, and a few spring dreams."

What? !

Dongfang Liren's eyes twitched slightly, feeling that the woman in front of him was really not afraid of death.

Where is the beauty?

The beautiful woman is upstairs!

What's "the jade flute was broken, leaving only fallen flowers all over the ground, a garden of fragrant grass, and a few spring dreams".

Are you tired of Wai Wai or not?

Are all Beiliang women so thick-skinned?

Dongfang Liren knew that this was the opponent's psychological offensive and deliberately made her angry and unable to stabilize her mind. For this reason, she suppressed her thoughts and thought for a while before replying:

"The bright moon is in the sky, and the breeze is like scissors. It is the most difficult to break up the past, the longing for thousands of miles, and the tenderness."

What this means is that I and Ye Jingtang have been in love for a long time, and there is no place for you, a foxy girl, in my heart. Don't have erotic dreams, just daydream.

The many literati and poets present were not stupid. They could tell that there was something in the words of these two people, and their eyes were startling and weird.

When Hua Qingzhi saw Prince Jing approaching, she showed approval and raised her hand slightly:

"Your Highness, please?"

Dongfang Liren took a breath and said calmly:

"If you ask for something but don't get it, can you leave it? Where in the world is there no romance?"

"Oh..."

When the scholar sitting here heard this, he was absolutely sure that the two women were jealous.

Hua Qingzhi is fighting, and Prince Jing is guarding the ring!

Are all women's quarrels so exciting?

Hua Qingzhi's intention after hearing this was to tell her to get out. She had no chance here and went to make a name for herself elsewhere. Naturally, she got angry and said softly and gently:

"If you are successful in learning, you will be successful in practice. How can you be willing to have less articles in your mind?"

What Hua Qingzhi means is, 'I have to achieve success in my studies, and of course I have to have results in my work, and I have my own plans in my heart'.

And what Dongfang Liren heard was, 'Don't meddle in other people's business, I'll take this foxy girl for granted'.

Dongfang Liren was shocked. This was the first time in his life that he met such a tough opponent. He nodded slightly:

"Girl please."

Hua Qingzhi was best at Chungui Ci, and she continued,

"People's words can be trusted, but God's words can be deceived. The east wind marries Dongjun, and in Xinghua Village, spring comes quietly."

"Oh..."

Seeing Miss Hua openly revealing her heart, everyone was surprised and quickly looked at Prince Jing.

Dongfang Liren squeezed his hands under his sleeves and said secretly:

I'm afraid you're going a little too far!

Return to Dongfeng and marry Dongjun, who do you want to marry?

You don't even act in front of me?

Dongfang Liren gritted his teeth secretly and responded calmly:

"It's hard to sing harmoniously in the water, easy to break in folk songs, egrets are hidden in the white snow, and it's hard to see a beautiful woman return to the cliff with dead trees."

"The affection is lingering, and it's hard to leave a trace of lovesickness..."

"The heartstrings are broken, pitiful and lonely for the third time!..."

"Oh..."

…

In Minglong Tower, hundreds of people turned their heads back and forth in the hall or private rooms, exclaiming from time to time. At first they were still watching the excitement, but in the end they were all stunned.

If they hadn't seen these two, they wouldn't have known that it was so exciting for a woman to pull her hair, quarrel, and get jealous, and to be able to quarrel like this.

At present, it seems that Hua Qingzhi has the upper hand. After all, no matter what Prince Jing, the grand master of the East Palace, expresses and hints, Hua Qingzhi remains calm and continues to taunt, feeling that she wants to piss Prince Jing off so that he can take over.

It was probably the first time for Prince Jing to meet such a dancing Hu Meizi. His face almost turned black, and his words were clearly gritted secretly. Some ministers were even worried about Prince Jing, who had always had a bad temper, and got up to beat him on the spot.

The most thrilling thing in the whole scene was the Night Terror Hall standing at the window.

Night Terror Hall didn't even have time to take care of Miss Yuhu. She was even a little panicked and wanted to go down and say:

Don't make any noise!

Why are you arguing?

Doesn’t this cost my life?

The empress of Wei didn't care about Ye Jingtang. She stood in front of the window with eyes full of excitement, as if watching Wu Kui fight. She even gasped from time to time. Apparently she heard how ruthless Hua Qingzhi's moves were, and her sister responded How violent.

With this stance of punching to the flesh, she might be suspected of not having any brains if she got in.

At this time, the empress also felt that it was not shameful to lose the day before yesterday. She should feel honored to be able to compete with such a ruthless person even though she lost.

Ye Jingtang saw the two of them exchange more than a dozen words, but they couldn't decide the winner. He was afraid that Benben would have a deep misunderstanding, so he beat him to death afterwards. After the two of them had a round of confrontation, he directly raised the curtain and said:

"Wait a minute, you two."

When the clear words came out, Longyin Tower, which was originally buzzing with discussions, suddenly became quiet.

Hua Qingzhi was concentrating on fending off the enemy when she suddenly heard the sound of Ye Jingtang. She quickly turned her head to look upstairs. Her eyes were obviously full of surprise and pride. She probably meant - Mr. Ye, are you here too? Am I powerful?

Dongfang Liren looked upstairs with slightly cold eyes:

"The King is competing with Miss Hua on their skills, why did you interrupt?"

When many of the great scholars sitting here saw Duke Ye appear, they understood that Duke Ye had seen a fire in the back house and ran out to start a fight, with a strange look in their eyes.

Facing hundreds of pairs of eyes, Ye Jingtang looked quite calm and said with a smile:

"The day before yesterday at Furong Pond, I had a chance encounter with Miss Hua. Seeing how talented she was, I took a test casually. I didn't expect Miss Hua to remember it for so long.

"Prince Jing and I were in love, and we often discussed poetry..."

Snapped--

Before he finished speaking, Dongfang Liren, with cold eyes, staggered, raised his hand and patted the chess case, his face turned red:

"Night Terror Hall!"

The hundreds of spectators present did not have any special reaction.

After all, this matter had been spread throughout Yun'an City half a year ago. From the prime minister down to the lackeys, who didn't know that Ye Jingtang belonged to Prince Jing?

Duke Ye stood up at this time and confessed his relationship with Prince Jing, which meant that he stood by Prince Jing and told the most talented woman in Yanjing to stop her wishful thinking.

For this reason, Dongfang Liren was filled with embarrassment and anger, but his eyes were not very fierce. Instead, he glanced at Hua Qingzhi opposite him from the corner of his eye, trying to see the reaction of the Northern Liang fox Meizi who couldn't get what she asked for and walked away.

But what shocked Dongfang Liren was that this fox girl was more powerful than she imagined.

When Hua Qingzhi heard this, not only did she not feel embarrassed, but she smiled a little and said:

"That's it. Mr. Ye and Prince Jing are so talented and beautiful that they are a match made in heaven. They are the envy of others."

Are you still envious of others?

I'm envious of you, so why don't you rob me in front of your face?

Even if I haven’t watched Night Terror Hall, I’ll look down on you. I’ve publicly cut ties with you.

Dongfang Liren was quite annoyed, but she couldn't reply, so she just shook her fist.

Ye Jingtang raised his hand slightly to signal Da Benben to calm down and continued:

"As the saying goes, there is no best in writing. I have always admired Prince Jing's literary talent, and Miss Hua's talent is really refreshing to me. Such a competition, in my opinion, is difficult to achieve. I have read a poem in a book before, called:

Plum and snow contend for spring but refuse to fall,

Sao Renge's pen fee review.

The snow in Mei Xu Xun is three points white,

Snow loses the fragrance of plum blossoms.

Mei Xue each has her own unique points. If she had to decide whether she was superior or inferior, she would end up at the bottom of the rankings. Why don't we end the game here and call it a draw? What do you think? "

"...?!"

The sitting scholar was stunned for a moment, and after careful reflection, they all nodded and felt that Duke Ye's statement was reasonable and well-founded, and there was nothing wrong with it. However, they were just a little curious, where did this plum blossom poem come from?

Isn’t it possible that the Northwest Royal Court has so many unknown cultural heritages?

When Hua Qingzhi saw Mr. Ye speaking, she naturally didn't say much. She nodded slightly in agreement with the verdict and praised:

"Young master is indeed knowledgeable."

Although Dongfang Liren was quite annoyed with the audacious Beiliang Hu Meizi, he also knew that there was no result in the competition. He slightly hooked his hand and asked the maid to bring the chess basket Yunzi and tea. He took a sip from the teacup and moistened his throat.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang was relieved and kept his elegant attitude. After slightly nodding to everyone in the hall, he put down the bead curtain, turned around and wiped the sweat from his forehead...
