Except for the Qingcheng Palace, the other palaces where the princes lived, all the princes looked gloomy, especially the East Palace.
Prince Qingyu of the East Palace, as the eldest son of the current Daqian Kingdom Mother, he should have been established as the crown prince when he came of age.
Daqian's empire should have been inherited by him in the future, but today Emperor Qian has always maintained the government without any delegation of power, and even tacitly allowed his younger brothers to compete with him for the position that should belong to him.
There is also Qingning. Originally, as a woman, she could not participate in the battle for the right to inherit the throne. However, Qingning’s mother was the first queen of the current emperor of Daqian. Emperor Qian loved Qingning’s mother extremely, so he loved her house as much as she loved her. In addition, at that time After the Daqing Emperor broke the tradition by appointing Princess Fengsi as the heir apparent, Emperor Qian unexpectedly gave Qingning the right to be the heir apparent.
As the eldest princess, Qingning was the only child of the previous mother of the country. All the political legacy of the previous mother of the country was inherited by Qingning, which made Qingyu always regard Qingning as her biggest opponent.
But some time ago, Qingning spent 100,000 taels of gold to redeem Chen Shiyi, who had been deprived of his title of No. 1 Scholar due to fraud in the Daqing Kingdom. He was also shameless, and used the reputation of the former Queen's mother's family to search for Chen Shiyi's authentic works of great sages and saints across the country. ,
The current queen used this to repeatedly reprimand and suppress Qingning, which ruined Qingning's reputation and made many senior ministers disappointed with Qingning.
Because of this incident, he was extremely happy, feeling that Qingning had finally played a bad card. However, he was not happy for a long time when someone actually told him that Chen Shiyi, whom Qingning had supported and who had been criticized by countless people, was actually the one who caused literary criticism. The peerless talent of Zhong Ba Ling?
The Bell of Wen Dao rings eight times. Except for the current Qian Emperor, the entire Da Qian has not appeared for a long time.
"How could it be? How could it be possible! Such a talented person who caused the bell of literature to ring eight times should be used by Gu! How can He De, a woman from Qingning, have such a talent?"
Qingyu was jealous, and his handsome face became distorted with jealousy.
On the other side, Qingning and Chen Shiyi had followed the chief manager to the palace.
"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess and the great talents who caused the Eight Rings of the Literary Bell are already waiting outside the palace!"
"Xuan!"
Emperor Qian couldn't help but show excitement on his majestic face.
"Yes!" The chief steward turned around and walked out. After a while, Chen Shiyi and Qing Ning entered the Jinluan Palace, and then saluted Emperor Qian on the throne.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"
"Chen Shiyi pays homage to His Majesty!"
When he saw Chen Shiyi next to Qing Ning, Emperor Qian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and a rich and majestic voice sounded: "Qing Ning, is he the one who caused the eight bells of Wen Dao to ring?"
"Report to my father, the person who caused the bell of Wen Dao to ring eight times was Chen Shiyi. Now Chen Shiyi has entered Wen Dao!"
Qingning couldn't help but curl up into a proud smile.
After receiving Qing Ning's confirmation, Emperor Qian couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He had also heard the rumors outside these days, and also knew that the current queen had reprimanded Qing Ning several times.
Although he was a little disappointed with Qingning in his heart, because Qingning's mother was no longer alive, he always felt guilty for Qingning, so he didn't care about Qingning.
But he didn't expect that what Qingning, who had been criticized by others, spent one hundred thousand taels of gold to redeem was not the rumored son who was deposed and abandoned by the Empress of Daqing because of cheating and dancing, but a son who was deprived of his status but still able to do it. The peerless genius who caused the bell of literature to ring eight times.
Even Emperor Qian was doubting that if Chen Shiyi had not been deposed as the number one scholar, would Chen Shiyi have been able to cause the bell of literature to ring nine times or even more?
"Chen Shiyi, raise your head and let me take a good look at what the genius who can cause the bell of literature to ring eight times looks like?"
Emperor Qian's majestic voice sounded, and Chen Shiyi slowly raised his head,
When Chen Shiyi raised his head, Emperor Qian's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly. He was such a handsome and courteous man. No wonder Qingning was willing to spend one hundred thousand taels of gold to redeem him.
When Emperor Qian was sizing up Chen Shiyi, Chen Shiyi was also sizing up Emperor Qian.
Wearing a purple gold crown with hair and jewels on it, a pair of sword eyebrows were raised, like a sharp sword thrust into the sky. Under the sword eyebrows is a pair of deep and majestic eyes.
Chen Shishi only looked at each other for a moment and quickly moved away, trying to see clearly all the features of Emperor Qian, but found that there was always a blurry shadow on Emperor Qian's face, making it difficult for him to see clearly the face of Emperor Qian.
Chen Shiyi was shocked, knowing that this was a Qi cover that only existed in the realm of great sages or great masters.
Chen Shiyi looked down. Emperor Qian was wearing a bright yellow royal robe. The bright yellow robe was embroidered with the pattern of a sea dragon. Under the turbulent golden waves at the corner of the robe, the sleeves were carried high by the wind. rise.
"Okay, Chen Shiyi, you are very good. You are worthy of being the person that Qing Ning redeemed at the expense of one hundred thousand taels of gold. You are also worthy of Qing Ning, who traveled all over the country to find the true relics of great sages and even saints despite the rumors.
You didn’t disappoint Qingning, and you didn’t disappoint me either! "
Emperor Qian's majestic voice sounded, and his sharp eyes fell on Chen Shiyi.
Hearing Emperor Qian's words, Chen Shiyi immediately bowed: "His Royal Highness Qingning's kindness to Chen Shiyi will never be forgotten by Chen Shiyi in his entire life!"
Emperor Qian seemed to be praising Chen Shiyi, but he was secretly criticizing Chen Shiyi. It was Princess Qingning who spent 100,000 gold to allow you, Chen Shiyi, to survive. It was Princess Qingning who went all over the world despite rumors. Qian Guo searched for the authentic relics of great sages and saints for you, Chen Shiyi, so that you, Chen Shiyi, could rekindle your talents...
So although you are now a peerless genius who has caused the eight bells of the literary bell to ring, you must remember Qing Ning's kindness.
Chen Shiyi was a man with a lot of experience. He instantly understood what Emperor Qian meant and immediately expressed his attitude.
Indeed, Qingning not only saved him and gave him a new life, but also helped him too much. He only has two goals in this life, one is to avenge his family, and the other is to sacrifice his life for Qingning.
People should always repay kindness.
"Chen Shiyi, you are very good, and I admire you very much! From today on, all the resources for your cultivation will be provided by the Daqian Royal Academy. You can borrow one authentic book by the great sages and saints from the Daqian Royal Academy every month!"
Emperor Qian was very satisfied with Chen Shiyi's attitude, so he was naturally generous.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Shiyi bowed and saluted.
"Your Majesty, why not let Chen Shiyi study at Daqian Royal Academy?"
At this moment, an old voice sounded. When he heard this voice, Chen Shiyi's heart was shocked. Looking in the direction of the sound, Chen Shiyi saw an old man with white hair. Step by step, he walked out from behind the screen.
But what shocked Chen Shiyi was that from the time the old man's voice rang out to when the old man walked step by step from behind the screen to a position less than three meters away from him, he didn't hear any footsteps, let alone any sound. Sensing the presence of any object,
If he hadn't opened his eyes, he would have felt like there was nothing in front of him but air.
This old man's hair and beard are white, but his eyes are as bright as stars.
"This old man is at least a peak Confucian, or even a... half-step great sage!"
Chen Shiyi looked at the old man and was shocked again.
This is the foundation of a country. Only now, he has seen a great sage and a half-sage, and this is only on the surface. Who knows how many powerful people are hidden in Daqian secretly.
After the shock, Chen Shiyi's heart sank again. The relatively weak Daqian Kingdom temporarily revealed a great sage and a half-step great sage. What about the more powerful Daqing Kingdom?
Chen Shiyi didn't need to think about it to know that the Daqing Kingdom must be full of powerful people. On the surface, there are at least two powerful people of the Great Sage level, but what about the ones secretly?
"It seems that revenge still has a long way to go!" Chen Shiyi murmured in his heart.
"I've met Grandpa Sanhuang!" Seeing the old man, Qingning immediately bowed down respectfully.
Chen Shiyi also bent down: "Greetings to the old prince!"
"Haha, you two little guys, you're welcome!" The old prince had a kind smile on his face, especially when he looked at Chen Shiyi, his eyes were full of satisfaction, as if he were looking at his grandson-in-law. But in his eyes, that's it,
I heard that Qingning spent 100,000 taels of gold to save Chen Shiyi this time because Qingning traveled around the world and was impressed by Chen Shiyi's talent while disguised as a man, and then he and Chen Shiyi became 'brothers', so The two of them have an emotional foundation.
Now the beauty from Qingning saves the hero, and even helps Chen Shiyi despite the infamy.
Chen Shiyi also lived up to Qing Ning's expectations, once again inspired the literary spirit, and even caused the eight bells of the literary bell to ring, confirming to Da Qian that Qing Ning had not misjudged the person. This is the so-called man's love, his concubine's intention, and they hit it off!
"Little guy, what do you think?" The old prince looked at Chen Shiyi with a smile, and the kindness in his eyes made Chen Shiyi feel a little hairy.
"Old Prince, I'm afraid this is against the rules!" Chen Shiyi hesitated.
"Little guy, I know what you are worried about. Although you are from Daqing, there is no place for you in the huge Daqing. It was Qingning who saved you, and it was Qingning who brought you to Daqian. You can be considered half a Dagan, which is in line with the rules.
If none of this follows the rules, the rules can be changed for you! "
The old prince looked at Chen Shiyi with a kind face.
Hearing what the old prince said, Chen Shiyi nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank the old prince for your kindness. Then Chen Shiyi will go to Daqian Royal Academy to study!"
"Father, uncle and grandpa of the Third Emperor, I have one more thing to ask of you!"
At this moment, Qingning spoke again.
"Girl Qingning, if you have any requests, just ask! Third Grandpa will satisfy you!" The old prince waved his hand, his face full of kindness.
"Yes, Ning'er, you can say whatever you want, as long as it's not too much, I agree to it!" Emperor Qian also spoke.
"........................"
"Father, uncle and grandpa of the Third Emperor, in more than half a month there will be a battle for the cultural movement of the five countries. I recommend Chen Shiyi to participate in this battle for the cultural movement on behalf of Da Gan!"
Qingning spoke respectfully.
After hearing Qing Ning's words, Emperor Qian frowned slightly, with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
The struggle for the cultural movement of the Five Kingdoms is the struggle for the cultural movement of the five countries of Daqing, Daqian, Dali, Dayuan, and Dashang.
Those who can represent the country in the war are either the geniuses of the younger generation, all the geniuses who have caused the Bell of Literature to ring more than five times, or they are all powerful men who are at the lowest level Confucianism.
The most important thing is that the personnel and quotas for participating in the cultural movement battle have been determined. Now if it is changed...
"Your Majesty, it stands to reason that I shouldn't interfere in the government affairs, but isn't this just a quota for the Cultural Movement Competition? What's there to hesitate about? A talented person like Eleven who has caused the Eight Rings of the Literary Bell cannot participate in the Cultural Movement Competition. Who else can go?"
"Besides, with Eleven, our chances of winning will be even greater. We may even get a good ranking in this Five Nations Cultural Games Competition!"
At this moment, the old prince slowly spoke.
After hearing the old prince's words, Emperor Qian nodded slightly: "Uncle Huang is right, I am a little indecisive. Eleven is fully qualified to participate in the battle for cultural fortune. If this is the case, then give Eleven a place!"
"............"
More than an hour later, Qing Ning and Chen Shiyi left the Jinluan Palace.
Chen Shiyi looked at the luxurious palaces along the way, and he was filled with sighs. More than a month ago, he finally stepped into the palace of Daqing after ten years of hard study.
At that time, he thought that he would be able to change his destiny and reach the pinnacle of life step by step. However, he did not expect that the empress would deprive him of his title of No. 1 Scholar that day and throw the dirty water of cheating and dancing on him.
The empress wanted to kill him, and even wiped out three of his clans.
But now he has caused the Bell of Literature to tremble in Daqian, causing the entire Qiancheng to tremble, and even Emperor Qian has to summon...
Life is really unpredictable......
"Sister Huang!" Not long after Chen Shiyi and Qingning came out of the Jinluan Palace, a figure stopped in front of Chen Shiyi and Qingning.
"Is there something wrong, Your Highness?" Qing Ning immediately became vigilant when he saw Qing Yu's appearance.
Qingyu did not look at Qingning, but turned his gaze to Chen Shiyi, his eyes full of heat: "Is this Mr. Chen Shiyi?"
"Sir, if you don't dare, His Highness the Prince can just call Eleven by his name!" Chen Eleven said calmly.
"You are worthy of it. Mr. Eleven is a blockbuster and has caused the bells of literature to ring. If you don't deserve this title, sir, who else can?" Qingyu said with enthusiasm on his face.
"Your Highness, is there anything else? If nothing else, we'll leave first!" After saying that, before Qingyu could speak, Qingning turned to look at Chen Shiyi: "Eleven, let's go!"
"Yes, Your Highness Princess!" Chen Shiyi responded, nodded politely towards Qingyu, then turned around and left with Qingning.
Qingyu looked at Chen Shiyi's retreating back and curled his lips slightly: "Chen Shiyi, I will get you!"
"And Imperial Sister, a great talent like Chen Shiyi should be loyal to Gucai. Gucai is the crown prince and heir of Daqian. Such a talent should be put to my use!"
On the other side, Qingning was not in a good mood because of meeting Qingyu. Qingning felt a little upset along the way, and Chen Shiyi also remained silent.
