Zhao Kang wandered around the city and bought some gadgets. He had just defrauded the Minister of Household Affairs of the State of Zhou for five hundred thousand taels of silver. He was not short of money now.
I took the hairpin I just bought back to the State Guesthouse.
Ye Hongxue was playing chess with Wu Guanhai, while Wu Tianhu was squatting aside calmly and calmly, his eyes contemptuous, as if he were a national player.
Those who didn't know would probably be intimidated by this old guy's aura, but Zhao Kang had a clear idea.
This guy is just a stinky chess player, a master who is addicted to food.
This is starting to become unbearable.
"Ye Yatou can't stay here! Nuo, here, you can kill his big dragon with just a click of your hand. This dragon-slaying knife move is something I have never told anyone..."
"Go aside!"
Ye Hongxue said angrily, Zhao Kang walked in and took a look at the so-called dragon-slaying knife, but it blocked his way of survival.
Immediately he was speechless and said: "You are such a bad chess player and you still teach others how to play chess?"
"The Imperial Master is back." Wu Guanhai greeted.
Zhao Kang nodded and sat next to Ye Hongxue. He took out the hairpin he just bought as a gift: "Look, I bought you a good thing."
"To be courteous for nothing is to be considered a traitor or a thief. It seems that you have done something shameful."
The woman teased.
Zhao Kang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pinched Ye Hongxue's pretty face: "I think you really want me to find you a sister!"
"Dare! I'll kill you, believe it or not!" Ye Hongxue snorted.
Wu Guanhai and Wu Tianhu, the uncle and nephew, felt suddenly overwhelmed and didn't know why.
Pinning the hairpin with his own hands, Zhao Kang nodded with satisfaction, it was indeed a good thing he picked.
Wu Tianhu said at this time: "Then what did Princess Qi ask you to do?"
Zhao Kangxiao: "I made a deal with her and solved an urgent need. I just have to do her a small favor."
Seeing that Zhao Kang was unwilling to speak openly, the other three people understood that this matter was probably a big deal and didn't ask any more questions.
Zhao Kang doesn't have much interest in playing chess, and the key thing is that he is not inferior to the bad chess player Wu Tianhu.
The birthday of the Emperor of Zhou will be in one day, and the Four Kingdoms Literary Conference is about to begin. Zhao Kang only knows that his opponent will be the literati of Zhou and the mysterious Zhou Academy.
It is completely unpredictable how the other party will act.
So he had to recall the poems and articles in his mind. Fortunately, his memory was very good and he remembered all these things very clearly.
While Zhao Kang was nervously preparing for war, a certain place was also brightly lit with candles.
A group of students wearing white Confucian shirts sat cross-legged on the ground, listening to the teacher in front of them teaching Confucian classics, and a pair of beautiful eyes watched this scene from a distance.
Someone walked in and said in an extremely respectful tone: "Dean."
Without turning her head, the woman gently stroked the jade flute in her hand with her right hand: "What's the matter?"
"Go back to the dean, all the ten people participating in the literary meeting this time have been selected. I believe that we can defeat the Imperial Master of Nagan Kingdom and regain the title of the first literary scholar!"
The dean of Zhou Academy, even the emperor Li Chengkun, had to treat him with courtesy. He addressed the women of the Gongsun family and said softly: "Wen Wu is the best, Wu Wu is the second. It's just a false name. There is nothing to fight for."
Hear the words.
The senior academy officials who came to report the matter gave a wry smile: "Dean, don't say this. Those guys don't think so."
"never mind."
Gongsun Yunxiu lowered his eyes slightly: "Once the word knowledge is mixed with political affairs and utilitarianism, the taste will change."
The higher-ups of the academy were stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "After all, His Highness the Prince requested it, and we can't refuse. By the way, Dean, they want to ask, do you want to occupy a quota?"
Gongsun Yunxiu glanced sideways, and the academy's top brass suddenly felt embarrassed and coughed: "I understand."
Ignoring him, Gongsun Yunxiu left directly. Looking at her back, the senior academy official couldn't help but sigh.
The deans of this generation are good and knowledgeable enough, but they are a little too unreasonable.
Zhou Guo is bound to win this literary conference. As the dean of the academy, she wants to stay out of it, which is really a headache.
The day flies by in the blink of an eye.
Early this morning, Zhao Kang and others got up early after arriving at the State Guesthouse.
Today is the 60th birthday of Emperor Zhou Li Chengkun. He cannot be careless in matters of emotion or reason.
Wu Guanhai put on a luxurious outfit, and even Wu Tianhu no longer mentioned leaving the wine gourd hanging around, but put on a bright red python robe.
He is the Prince of Jingguo, the elder brother of the Emperor of Jingguo, and is titled King Wu. Naturally, he must wear formal clothes for such an occasion.
Ye Hongxue was dressed in majestic purple clothes, which made her look unparalleled. Originally, as the Minister of Rites of Jingguo, she should have worn the official uniform of Jingguo.
But as soon as he arrived in Zhou Kingdom, Zhao Kang told Cao Anguo and others that she was his wife.
Ye Hongxue was also happy to attend as Zhao Kang's wife.
Behind the three of them were the ten Jingguo scholars, all of whom were a little excited in their Confucian robes.
A group of people came from Qi State.
Pearl Princess Liu Yanran looked elegant in a goose-yellow dress, and her delicate face looked even more beautiful after being deliberately dressed up.
Normally, the princess's appearance would definitely capture everyone's attention.
It's a pity that there is still Ye Hongxue at this moment.
As the most beautiful woman in Jingguo, Ye Hongxue did not use any rouge or gouache to dress herself up, and she had never liked those things.
But even so, without makeup, she still overpowers the ninth princess of Qi State.
Even though I had seen it when I came here the day before yesterday, Princess Pearl was still a little surprised at this moment.
This Zhao Guoshi’s wife is truly a beauty and a beauty! She will captivate the country and the city!
"Your Highness the Princess." Wu Guanhai greeted gently.
Princess Mingzhu nodded and gave a half salute: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness King Wu, Mrs. Zhao."
Mrs. Zhao heard the sound and Ye Hongxue couldn't help but smile: "Good morning, Your Highness."
Princess Mingzhu asked: "Why don't you see Master Zhao?"
"Changing clothes. His outfit is too troublesome." Ye Hongxue said with a smile.
Just as he was talking, the door was opened and Zhao Kang complained: "Then why don't you come and serve me! Damn, these shabby clothes with three layers inside and three outside are really difficult to wear!"
Zhao Kang appeared in front of everyone, wearing a black robe with wide sleeves. What was even more shocking was that the black royal robe was actually embroidered with nine golden pythons with gold threads. They said they were pythons but they were actually dragons!
It just has four claws, so it’s called a python!
The golden python pattern is vividly displayed with teeth and claws, and the momentum is astonishing. A jade belt cinches the waist and is lined with red clothes.
Princess Mingzhu stared blankly at Zhao Kang, who was wearing a black gold python robe, and then at Wu Tianhu, King Wu of Jingguo.
Wu Tianhu is also wearing a python robe but only has six pythons, while Zhao Kang is indeed nine pythons!
He is on the same level as Prince Wu Guanhai!
She was shocked and said: "Master! You don't conform to the etiquette, are you? This python robe was given by the empress of your country?"
Zhao Kang said calmly: "Oh, I forgot to tell Her Highness the Princess that Zhao Kang is not only the national counselor of Qian Kingdom, but also the king of Qian Kingdom!"
