This time Li Yunxing left the palace to go to Jingzhou to see the actual situation of King Zhaoyang's disaster relief.

Of course, as the prince of a country, he cannot travel alone. The journey is long and involves many dangers.

So Li Yunxing came to the General's Mansion, but met an unexpected person here.

Outside Lian's mansion, Lian Jirou and a strange man were talking outside the door of the mansion.

It can be seen that the man's expression is very excited.

He seemed to be excitedly saying something to Lian Jirou.

"Miss Lian, now that the imperial court openly recruits good officials through the imperial examination system, I finally have the opportunity to show my talents."

Li Yunxing walked up and stood in front of Lian Jirou, blocking their sight of each other.

"You..." The scholar in Tsing Yi was a little angry that someone could be so offensive.

When I looked up, I saw it was Li Yunxing. Although I didn't recognize him, I could tell from his clothes that his identity was unusual.

Compared with this rag Tsing Yi, I instantly became eclipsed.

But how could a disciple from a poor family deny his knowledge and aspirations just because of his mere appearance?

The scholar in Tsing Yi immediately cupped his hand and said politely, "My dear Qin Mo, may I ask your Excellency..."

Li Yunxing was expressionless and did not answer his question.

"My name is not something you, a junior, deserve to know."

Hearing this, Lian Jirou immediately stepped forward and tugged on Li Yunxing's sleeves, reminding him in a low voice, "Your Highness, be careful what you say."

Qin Mo's face suddenly turned red, and he was obviously very angry.

Li Yunxing didn't take his anger to heart at all. He just turned to look at Lian Jirou, "Why are you out here? You're exposed this morning. Don't get too cold."

"This young master, being arrogant is not a good character." Qin Mo snorted coldly and mocked Li Yunxing, "I am a scholar selected from the Xuzhou Township Examination. Now I have come to the capital to prepare for the examination. Although I am not said to be rich in knowledge, then

At least he knows etiquette and shame."

"This is also on the street. The young master is flirting with a girl who has not yet left the court, but he wants to ruin Miss Lian's reputation?"

Li Yunxing looked at the young scholar in front of him coldly, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

A pedantic reading nerd.

He wanted to see what this idiot had to say to him.

"What do you want to say?" Li Yunxing said calmly.

"I would like to say that Miss Lian is now in her prime. Although she is not yet married, she is already a woman. It is not suitable to be close to men, especially someone like you who does not abide by etiquette and behaves frivolously!" Qin Mo said nothing.

Concealing his disdain for Li Yunxing, he said, "If Miss Lian hadn't stopped me, I would have taught a rude person like you a lesson just now."

Li Yunxing squinted his eyes slightly, and a dangerous dark light flashed in his eyes.

Lian Jirou quickly stood in front of Li Yunxing and said, "Master Qin, please calm down. This person is a person my daughter knows well, and he is not as bad as Master Qin said."

When he saw Lian Jirou helping him to speak, Qin Mo couldn't help but feel embarrassed anymore.

Instead, he changed into the handsome young man's appearance just now, "It turns out he is a person familiar to Miss Lian. There was a misunderstanding and I was rude."

He turned his head and apologized to Li Yunxing in a gentle and polite manner, "It's Meng Lang. I did rush into this brother recklessly just now. I hope you can forgive me."

After saying that, he cupped his hands towards Lian Jirou.

Li Yunxing looked at this sudden change in painting style, and the corners of his mouth twitched a little.

This guy is pretty good at pretending!

"Young Master Qin is too polite. It's Li who is being reckless." Li Yunxing said with a smile, "Young Master Qin just said that he wanted to take the national examination?"

Qin Mo nodded, "Yes, I'm here just for the recruitment examination."

Li Yunxing's eyes flickered, "Oh? From Master Qin's tone, it seems that he is determined to win?"

"That's natural." Qin Mo said proudly.

"A few years ago, I had a romantic encounter with Miss Lian, but I came from a miserable background and knew that I was not worthy of Miss Lian."

"Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind and kind. He is willing to open the imperial examination this year and accept scholars from poor families to serve as officials. I have studied hard for decades before it was wasted and I can have the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination."

"I will never live up to His Highness the Crown Prince's expectations of me!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and kind-hearted, which is a blessing to our Wu Dynasty. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also a role model for scholars all over the world." Qin Mo said modestly.

Li Yunxing was slightly startled, "I heard you say that, you admire the prince very much?"

Qin Mo looked at Li Yunxing as if he had seen something strange and strange, "Haven't you heard the famous sayings of His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Li Yunxing smiled, how could he not hear it?

Lian Jirou, who was standing by, became more and more embarrassed as he listened, and quickly changed the subject: "Master Qin, don't you still want to prepare for the national examination? The day is getting closer, why don't you go back first?"

But Qin Mo was very excited. When he mentioned the prince, he wanted to spread his excerpts of the prince's famous quotes on the street for everyone to see.

"No, no, no, there is no rush now. The residence arranged by His Highness the Crown Prince for the candidates has everything, and the environment is quiet, which is perfect for preparing for the examination."

"Furthermore, I see that although this young master is wearing gorgeous clothes, he can't even touch the corners of His Highness the Crown Prince's clothes. With such an identity, I'm afraid he is not qualified to participate in the examination." After Qin Mo finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Li Yunxing.

.

This Qin Mo is really sharp-tongued!

Li Yunxing gritted his teeth and sneered, "Who said my identity is not enough to participate in the examination?"

"Haha, brother, please don't be brave. I see that you are wearing fine clothes, and you must be the son of a famous family, but you don't even know the prince's poems. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to take the imperial examination and seek fame in this life.

?”

Qin Mo was a disciple from a poor family. Before Li Yunxing announced the opening of the imperial examination, he could only work as a small clerk in the local government.

What made him jealous was that many officials' children had no ambition to fight, but because they were born better than him, they were able to become officials in the court.

He often sighed and wrote many poems lamenting the injustice of his fate.

Therefore, in his opinion, Li Yunxing was no different from those dandy boys. They were all so arrogant because of their background and their family's power.

"What a pity..." Li Yunxing shook his head and smiled, not paying attention to the other party's provocation.

"What's a pity?" Qin Mo was hurt by his smile.

"It's a pity that you have to wait until the palace examination before you have a chance to see me. But with your current talent and knowledge, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do so."

"Oh, may I ask who you studied under, and what was your rank in the provincial examination?" Speaking of this, Qin Mo was probably a little unconvinced.

His background can be belittled, but his ability is not.

This time he ranked first in the Xuzhou Provincial Examination, so he was naturally confident that he could win the exam.

Lian Jirou hurriedly came out to smooth things over, "Young Master Qin and Young Master Li, we have just met each other, so why don't we each take a step back."
