Zhou Nan's face wasn't very pretty to begin with, but when A Qiang told the truth, his face turned the color of pig liver.
"Hang...a group of snobs who act according to the prevailing circumstances!"
"Isn't it true that even a prince published a collection of poems?"
"You're not following me!"
"What's so great about it?"
Hearing that Zhou Nan was so angry that he spoke indiscriminately, Ah Qiang was so shocked that he even wanted to reach out and cover Zhou Nan's mouth himself!
"Master!"
"Don't you dare say nonsense!"
"Have you forgotten all the things that I have told you?"
"Be sure to..."
"Be careful what you say and do!" Zhou Nan took over Aqiang's words angrily, "I just complained a few times, so what?"
"I'm not wrong!"
"Besides, look at this entire Huixian Accord, are there any people left?"
As soon as Zhou Nan finished speaking, he saw Song Huan and Cheng Susu slowly walking down the stairs.
The moment their eyes met, Zhou Nan felt a little embarrassed.
"They are all going to grab Prince Rong's poetry collection, why don't you go?"
"He is Prince Daliang, a relative of the emperor and the country!"
"If you arrive late, you won't be able to grab it!"
Zhou Nan's tone was sour, and it sounded like his teeth were about to get sore.
Cheng Susu had long been disgusted with this superficial Mr. Zhou. Seeing that he was insulting and sarcastic towards Song Huan in and out of his words, Cheng Susu was extremely dissatisfied.
"It's good if you can clearly see the gap between yourself and Prince Rong."
"It's important for people to be self-aware. Sometimes you still have to put yourself in a correct position and don't have any unrealistic illusions!"
"You!" Zhou Nan glared at Cheng Susu, as if he couldn't believe that a little girl dared to mock him like this!
"You like to pursue Prince Rong so much, why don't you go and serve him personally?"
"I think you are quite pretty. It would be good for you to be adopted by Prince Rong as his maid!"
Having said this, Zhou Nan grinned and smiled obscenely.
Cheng Susu was embarrassed and angry, and wanted to open her mouth to fight back, but Song Huan, who was standing beside him, stretched out his hand and pulled him behind him.
"If I were you, I would think more before I speak or act."
"Otherwise, you will definitely die ugly!"
Song Huan stared at Zhou Nan coldly. Although his volume was not high, the overwhelming sense of oppression made people feel breathless!
Even Zhou Nan, who had been pampered and arrogant since he was a child, didn't feel like giving up.
Seeing that Song Huansui was dressed in a low-key manner, but his temperament was luxurious, he did not look like an ordinary scholar.
It seems that he is the kind of person that he cannot easily offend!
Zhou Nan snorted coldly, not wanting to get entangled again, so he turned around and walked out.
"stop!"
Song Huan called Zhou Nan coldly from behind.
"Do you want to leave without apologizing?"
Zhou Nan stopped in place, and after a long while, he turned around stiffly.
"I just said what I said without restraint, I can't help it!"
After saying that, Zhou Nan strode out, as if he didn't want to stay here any longer!
Aqiang, who was following behind, was a little confused: "Master, what are you doing..."
He didn't understand why the young master, who had always been high-profile and public, seemed to be a different person when facing the man just now!
Zhou Nan bit his back molars fiercely: "As the saying goes, a strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake!"
"I haven't established a foothold in the capital yet. The connections I have with the Third Prince alone are not enough."
"After I successfully pass the palace examination and become a bachelor, I will find this person and take revenge for today!"
…
Time flies by like a flash, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
The sensational bachelor's examination has finally come to an end.
In addition to the academician Lin Zhihuan who still retains his original position, Li Tong Zhao Xuanling and general judge Zhou Nan also successfully passed the examination and officially entered Wenyuan Pavilion, becoming one of the eight academicians.
It's morning this morning.
Wang Shilu and Zhao Xuanling walked one behind the other. As soon as they stepped into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they were surrounded by several congratulatory courtiers.
"Congratulations to Mr. Wang and congratulations to Mr. Zhao!"
"I heard that Mr. Zhao performed very well in yesterday's palace examination!"
"It can be said that the answers to the questions raised by the Holy One are fluent!"
"You are so young, yet you have such knowledge and courage. You are truly a teachable child!"
"..."
Wang Shilu glanced at Zhao Xuanling beside him and lightly bowed his hands to everyone.
"Haha, thank you so much, adults!"
"It was his luck that he was able to successfully pass the palace examination this time."
"Now that we have entered Wenyuan Pavilion, we must dedicate ourselves to making suggestions for His Majesty and enthusiastically come forward to give advice!"
"Do you understand?"
As he said this, Wang Shilu did not forget to give Zhao Xuanling a few words of admonishment.
Zhao Xuanling cupped her hands and said respectfully: "Thank you, grandpa, for reminding me. My grandson understands!"
Wang Shilu immediately grimaced and quietly pulled Zhao Xuanling aside.
"How many times have I told you, don't call me grandpa in the court, call me Mr. Wang!"
"For you to successfully pass this palace examination, I would like to thank the Third Prince for your help. We have been prepared in advance."
"If this were not the case, we would not be able to answer questions as fluently as we did yesterday if we did not understand His Majesty!"
"Since we took a shortcut to get in, we should be more low-key and careful in everything."
"Do you understand?"
Compared with the cautious Wang Shilu, Zhao Xuanling is carefree and seems much more indifferent.
"Grandpa, you are too careful!"
"No matter what method he passes, hasn't my grandson successfully passed the palace examination and become the youngest bachelor in the history of Wenyuan Pavilion?"
"Besides, since His Highness the Third Prince is willing to lend a helping hand to us, it means that the Third Prince has the intention to win over you, grandpa."
"We have the Third Prince supporting us, why do you still worry so much?"
Wang Shilu glared at Zhao Xuanling fiercely, almost as if he hated iron for not becoming steel.
"Do you think being related to the third prince means you are incredibly rich?"
"Stepping into the court is just the beginning. You have to listen more and speak less, watch well, and study hard..."
"Yes, yes, grandson...oh no, I understand!" Zhao Xuanling interrupted Wang Shilu impatiently.
While the two were talking, there was a sudden noise in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Surrounded by several officials, Zhou Nan was seen walking up swaggeringly wearing an official robe.
Looking at the majestic and solemn Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhou Nan's eyes were filled with yearning and desire.
Is this the most supreme place in the world?
How many people have spent their entire lives and luck just to get to this place.
But now I can easily put on the second-grade court clothes and stand here calmly...
This is the advantage of being born into a noble family!
"I've heard of Mr. Zhou's style a long time ago. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary!"
"I heard that Mr. Zhou and His Highness the Third Prince are close friends! I hope they can support you more in the future..."
His ears were filled with praises and admiration from everyone, which made Zhou Nan feel very happy.
However, the next second, when he saw the face of the person who had just entered the door, his heart felt as if someone had pinched it, and it almost stopped beating!
