Why is he here?
Chu Jihong was surprised for a while. The main purpose of the Qilin Sage Association this time was for the Prodigy List and the Scholars List. Most of the invitees were young talents and scholars. He did not send an invitation to King Yu.
He has never liked official disputes, so even though he has a huge network of talented people, he has never thought of winning over anyone.
King Yu's sudden visit was really beyond his expectation.
Chu Jihong turned to look at his father suspiciously. Seeing the secretive smile on his face, he suddenly understood. He stood up with Duke Zhen and stepped out to greet him.
Why is this old Biden here too...
Jiang Yunzhou, who had just arrived at the archway of the front yard, frowned when he heard the singing.
If he had known that King Yu was coming, he would not have come to join in the fun. He just wanted to watch the competition between spiritual masters. Putting this whole thing aside is really off-putting...
He still had to give the Zhen Guo Gong some face, and it was not good to just walk away now.
What's more, the most important purpose of his trip was to watch the battle between spiritual masters so that he could collect a wave of spiritual seals. How could he return without success?
Helpless, Jiang Yunzhou had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.
…
"Prince Yu is here, the old and humble house is really full of glory..."
Duke Zhen Guo cupped his hands and welcomed Prince Yu with a smile. The two of them could not help but exchange pleasantries. Not bothering to look at Prince Yu's greasy face, Jiang Yunzhou turned around and walked to the adjacent pavilion, found a seat at random, and started eating melon. As a result, he looked at the outside situation.
The presence of Duke Zhen Guo and Prince Yu made the scene of the elegant gathering more lively.
Many of the people here are from the elite ranks of the Imperial Academy, and many of those spiritual masters are also so-called meditators who wholeheartedly pursue the spiritual path. But when they saw King Yu, they were still like flies seeing a daddy, and they impatiently surrounded him.
"Ah…"
Jiang Yunzhou snorted softly and curled his lips. However, he saw a beautiful figure in his peripheral vision and immediately turned his head to look over.
The person who came was wearing a white warm jacket and had an elegant face. He was not the same Chu Xiaoqing who ran away alone after forcefully kissing him just now.
Jiang Yunzhou noticed that besides Xiaodie, there were also two pretty girls with the same extraordinary appearance beside her. One was wearing a blue skirt and the other was wearing a pink and white jacket. The two of them were somewhat similar to Chu Xiaoqing. She looks similar, but slightly immature. She should be only fourteen or fifteen years old. Chu Xiaoqing is an only daughter, so she must be her cousin.
As if she felt the gaze in the room, Chu Xiaoqing raised her eyes and looked over here, and happened to meet Jiang Yunzhou's eyes. Her face suddenly turned red, her eyes were panicked, and she looked away in a hurry.
Jiang Yunzhou raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the most indifferent and cold beauty would be shy.
You must be pretending!
Maybe she felt too tired to stand, so the two girls beside Chu Xiaoqing pulled Chu Xiaoqing and walked straight to the Yage where Jiang Yunzhou was. Chu Xiaoqing wanted to refuse, but before she could think of words, the two sisters He had already pulled her to the front of the Accord.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is blessed."
Seeing Jiang Yunzhou who had already stood up, Chu Xiaoqing had no choice but to step forward and bow to salute. Her expression was still elegant and composed, and her voice was clear and crisp, but her eyes were slightly sunken, as if stained with a thin layer of frost mist. Dare to look into his eyes.
The two girls were slightly surprised and quickly followed their elder sister in curtsy: "His Royal Highness King Qin is blessed~"
"Girls, no courtesy."
Jiang Yunzhou raised his head from the void and looked at the two women with some confusion: "You two are..."
Chu Xiaoqing was about to introduce her, but the girl in the blue skirt rushed to say: "We are sister Qing's cousins, my name is Banxia, and this is my twin sister, Bai Zhi."
When Chu Baizhi saw her sister introducing herself, she bowed slightly and saluted again.
When she said this, Jiang Yunzhou realized that although the two had different clothes and different temperaments, their facial features were exactly the same. They were not twins.
"It turns out they are the two daughters of Second Master Chu. Disrespectful, disrespectful..." Jiang Yunzhou said politely.
Jiang Yunzhou had a general understanding of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion before. The Zhenguo Duke had seven sons and one daughter. Except for the third master, the fifth master who went out to garrison and lead troops, and his married daughter, the other families had not been separated. Among them, the two sons of the Chu family There is such a pair of twin sisters in my family.
"Hey, Your Highness has heard of us. Did Sister Qing tell you?"
Chu Banxia was obviously more outgoing, and was not afraid of Jiang Yunzhou's status as a prince. He blinked his big black eyes and looked at Jiang Yunzhou, full of curiosity.
Jiang Yunzhou said with a faint smile: "Although these two girls are still in the boudoir, their talents and knowledge have already spread throughout Ling'an. How could I not know about it?"
"Your Highness has given you too much praise, but our knowledge is shallow and far from that of Sister Qing."
Chu Baizhi took over her sister's words and replied softly, and then tugged on her sister's sleeves, trying to make her more reserved.
"Girls, please take a seat first."
Jiang Yunzhou turned sideways, made way for the three women to take a seat.
The two girls thanked him obediently and sat down one seat away from Jiang Yunzhou's previous position. Chu Xiaoqing was forced to sit next to Jiang Yunzhou. When she sat down, she glanced at Jiang Yunzhou subconsciously, but found that there was an inexplicable look in his eyes. Staring at himself deeply, he immediately looked away, feeling a little annoyed.
Hey, what happened? When did I become like this...
Xiaodie peeked at her mistress and Jiang Yunzhou from the side, suppressed a smile on her lips, and poured tea for the four of them.
There was a moment of silence.
Chu Banxia glanced at Jiang Yunzhou's side face, with stars in her eyes, and whispered in Chu Xiaoqing's ear: "Sister, you have such good eyesight~"
Chu Xiaoqing glanced at her angrily, it was her who was the lazy one who insisted on coming to the Accord to sit and watch the fun.
"whee…"
Chu Banxia pursed her lips and smiled, then raised her head and looked at Jiang Yunzhou and said: "Your Highness, I heard that you fell in love with my sister Qing at first sight, and then you asked Your Majesty to marry my sister. Is this true?"
Chu Xiaoqing was startled when she heard this, and immediately picked up the tea beside her and put it to her lips:
"Sister Banxia didn't say she was thirsty just now, drink!"
Jiang Yunzhou smiled when he heard this and replied affirmatively: "That's right. When I first met Miss Chu, I secretly fell in love with you. I am determined in my heart that I will never marry anyone other than you!"
When Jiang Yunzhou said the second half of his sentence, he stared at Chu Xiaoqing with burning eyes, and he could clearly see a flash of panic in her eyes.
interesting.
I have to say that this cold and arrogant villain is indeed very charming when he loses his square inch.
It might be interesting if she could change her obsession with Gu An's exile and restoration.
Chu Banxia: "Wow..."
…
"Please be quiet, please!"
At this moment, after a burst of noise outside the house, it became quiet under the shouts of Master Chu Qi.
"I sincerely ask you to listen to what Chu has to say..."
Shouting loudly, he began to slowly talk about some of the purposes and procedures of the Qilin Magi Meeting. He talked a lot, but Jiang Yunzhou only listened to a general outline.
It's nothing more than appreciating poems and lyrics first, and then competing with spiritual masters.
Then, the long table in the open space where melons, fruits and tea were originally placed was quickly replaced by pens, ink, paper and inkstones by a group of servants and maids.
At this moment, Jiang Yunzhou discovered that King Yu, who was standing slightly higher, glanced at him accidentally and said something to Duke Zhen. The two of them walked towards the Yage with their entourage.
Master Chu Qi’s loud voice came again from outside:
"Okay, let me first ask Mr. Wang from Ling'an Academy to list today's first question for everyone!"
