In just a moment, the sound of climbing up the wooden stairs was heard, and soon the student from the Zi Zhang School came up the stairs. His face was pale and his expression was slightly frightened. He looked completely different from before.
"Zhang Song, how are you? Have you found out the information? Is it your senior brother Xie Chuan who did it?"
Wu Ruhai was so full of expectations that he didn't notice anything unusual about this student. The eyes of other masters and scholars also fell on the student named Zhang Song, waiting for his answer.
"No, it's not!"
Zhang Song secretly glanced at his teacher, his expression becoming more and more frightened:
"Senior Brother Xie Chuan did not attend this snow appreciation meeting at all. He was expelled from Luyuan early!"
"What?!"
When Wu Ruhai heard these words, he was immediately confused and couldn't react at all:
"How is it possible? Who is so bold as to expel you, Senior Brother Xie, at the Queen Mother's banquet?"
Xie Chuan was his proud disciple, and Wu Ruhai had great expectations for him. He would never allow anyone to bully his disciple.
"Teacher, the news has spread from Luyuan. Xie, Senior Brother Xie Chuan... plagiarized Chen Shaojun from the Bamboo Forest Poetry Society. The evidence is conclusive. There were many senior brothers from other schools present at the time, which is beyond doubt."
"In addition, the poem written by Wen Zhuxiaohan was not written by Senior Brother Xie. It was exactly what Senior Brother Xie copied from a disciple of the Ziju School in Luyuan!"
"!!!"
There was a boom, as if a thunder struck down, Wu Ruhai's whole body was shaken, and he stood stunned on the spot.
"This, how is this possible!"
Wu Ruhai was trembling all over and couldn't believe the news at all.
"Have you checked it out clearly? Is it possible that you are mistaken? That Yansuo Pond Liu Nai is eternal and absolute. No one of the great Confucian masters in the capital can guess the next sentence. How can that kid prove that it was written by him?"
A scholar who was close to Wu Ruhai suddenly took a few steps forward and spoke.
They were all from the Zizhang School, and he would never believe that kid Xie Chuan would do such a thing.
On the opposite side, Zhang Song's head was lowered, his face became paler, and the beads of sweat on his forehead became even more dense:
"Because that Chen Shaojun went to Xieque."
"What is it?"
In the restaurant, a grandmaster blurted out, and other great Confucian masters also looked over, showing focused expressions.
"Peach Burns Jinjiang Embankment!"
Zhang Song lowered his head and said.
puff!
Hearing this, Wu Ruhai's blood surged upwards. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell back:
"how so?"
Before the voice fell, Wu Ruhai completely fainted.
"Brother Wu, Brother Wu!"
There was a sudden chaos in Yuehe Tower.
…
"Finally got it!"
At the end of the literary test, Chen Shaojun held the brocade box with joy in his heart.
This time he participated in the Snow Appreciation Conference, composing poems and lyrics was secondary, his goal was the immortal gold and stone. Although there was a layer of boxes between them, Chen Shaojun could clearly feel the heat coming from inside.
This is the power of fairy gold and stone!
If Chen Shaojun was just a pure scholar, the immortal gold and stone would really not be of much use, but Chen Shaojun happened to be a master of both civil and military arts.
"The power of immortal gold and stone is extremely strong. With this power, my martial arts practice can be greatly increased!"
Chen Shaojun was extremely excited.
It's true that when he gets sleepy, he gives him a pillow. With this treasure, he can reach a higher realm.
"Brother Shaojun."
At this moment, the fragrant breeze blew, and a familiar voice sounded in the ears. In a flash of light, Wei Zhen appeared beside Chen Shaojun.
Her eyes flashed, full of admiration.
"Zhen'er never knew that brother Shaojun's poems were so good. Zhen'er's eyes were really opened this time."
The girl's eyes flashed with strange emotions.
"It's just a small test, no big deal."
Chen Shaojun smiled indifferently and didn't care much.
Poems don't matter, he can still forge the most top-notch immortal weapons, but there is no need to say these one by one.
Chen Shaojun's words seemed somewhat arrogant in the eyes of others, but Wei Zhen didn't care and instead believed that what Chen Shaojun said was the truth.
"By the way, Brother Shaojun, the literary test of the Snow Appreciation Competition has ended. Where are you going to go in a while?"
Wei Zhen said.
"this--"
Chen Shaojun was startled. He really hadn't thought about it. There was no accident. After the literary test, it was time for him to go back. He should probably find a place to practice hard, greatly increase his strength, and then enter the realm of the ghost clan.
"I'll probably go home first."
Before Chen Shaojun finished speaking, bursts of sonorous armor plates vibrating sounds suddenly came from outside Luyuan. Before Chen Shaojun could react, all the scholars in Luyuan tensed up and bowed in one direction:
"See Your Highness!"
"Meet Princess!"
Chen Shaojun's heart was slightly shaken, and he suddenly came back to his senses. He looked up and saw two tall figures walking in from the outside, one behind the other, guarded by many imperial guards and Jin Wu guards.
The man at the head had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a handsome face, and he looked extremely noble in a Gong robe.
Crown Prince!
With just one glance, Chen Shaojun recognized it.
He had personally diagnosed and treated the Crown Prince incident, so he would not admit his mistake. However, compared with the pale look of the Crown Prince at that time, the Crown Prince now has a majestic appearance and his face is obviously much rosier.
"Why is he here too? Is he here to pay his respects to the Queen Mother?"
Chen Shaojun secretly thought in his heart, but just for a moment, Chen Shaojun was attracted by another figure behind the crown prince.
"Princess of the Sun?!"
Chen Shaojun was stunned.
The girl was dressed in palace attire and had a cold temperament. She always held her head high when she walked and looked extremely arrogant. Who else could she be if she wasn't the Princess of the Sun?
It's just that Princess Jiaoyang obviously didn't recognize Chen Shaojun at this time.
Her eyes ignored all the scholars in the deer park and fell directly on the Empress Dowager of Dashang who was sitting on the throne above the deer park.
"Grandma Huang, the eldest brother and I are here to pay your respects."
The moment she saw the Queen Mother, Princess Jiaoyang suddenly beamed with joy, and the cold temperament on her body melted instantly.
Phew, a breeze blew by, and Princess Jiaoyang passed directly by Chen Shaojun and rushed towards the Empress Dowager of Dashang on the high platform.
"The scorching sun, don't be rude."
Seeing this scene, the Crown Prince frowned slightly, but he had no choice but to speed up and follow.
But halfway through, the Prince of Dashang paused slightly, then took steps and walked in another direction.
"Mr. Chen, you are polite!"
Unexpectedly, the high-ranking Crown Prince of Shang, who was admired by thousands of people, finally stopped in front of Chen Shaojun and bowed his hands.
"Last time in the palace... Li Yi, thank you very much."
The Crown Prince obviously knew that Chen Shaojun did not want to publicize the matter and reveal his identity, so he did not go into detail.
"Your Highness is too polite. I didn't do anything. I just did my best. In the final analysis, Your Highness is kind and virtuous, bringing great blessings to the heavens."
Chen Shaojun bowed and said calmly.
There is a difference between monarch and minister. The Crown Prince can still remember this incident, but Chen Shaojun can never take credit for it.
"Young Master, you are so kind. Li Yi will always remember this kindness. During the recent Winter Sacrifice Ceremony, there were many things going on in the palace. It is a pity that Li Yi could not have a long talk with the Young Master. However, if the Young Master is free in the future, I hope to come to my East Palace more often."
Sit down."
Crown Prince Li Yicheng said.
"sure."
Chen Shaojun responded, but he had a very good impression of the crown prince of the great merchant.
The so-called humble gentleman, as gentle as jade, this is how the Crown Prince feels to others. Chen Shaojun can feel that the Crown Prince's words are not polite, but sincere. As a nobleman of the Emperor, this is indeed rare.
On the other side, after the Crown Prince Li Yi said these words, he bowed his hands and bowed, quickly turned around and walked towards the Empress Dowager of Shang on the high platform.
"Brother Shaojun, are you hiding something from me? Why did the Crown Prince come specifically to thank you and invite you to the East Palace as a guest?"
Wei Zhen on the side suddenly spoke, with strange colors in her beautiful eyes.
For some reason, since they met at the Zhulin Poetry Club, he felt that Chen Shaojun seemed to be a different person, and that he seemed to be full of secrets.
"Little girl, where do you get so much curiosity? I really want to know. I will tell you later."
Chen Shaojun flicked her forehead and chuckled.
Such an intimate gesture attracted the side glances of the surrounding scholars, all of whom were filled with jealousy.
"Grandma Huang, all the martial arts disciples outside have been prepared. My father specially sent me and Jiao Yang to come here to accompany you to participate in the subsequent martial arts test and inspect all the outstanding martial arts disciples of our Great Shang Dynasty."
At this moment, the Crown Prince's voice came from in front of the throne.
"Well, you are the crown prince of our Great Shang Dynasty. You should indeed participate in the martial arts test. This is not only your obligation as the crown prince, but also the respect that our Great Shang Dynasty shows to all the aristocratic families and the children of military commanders."
The Empress Dowager of Dashang nodded slightly and said.
"It turns out that the martial arts test has begun."
Chen Shaojun understood clearly.
The Great Shang Dynasty had a literary examination, and naturally there was also a military examination. The Crown Prince and Princess Jiaoyang came here to take part in the military examination.
Although Chen Shaojun has outstanding talents and dominates the Snow Appreciation Competition, in terms of martial arts, compared with those top martial arts geniuses, his current strength is indeed insufficient.
Soon, all the scholars in Luyuan resigned. After Chen Shaojun bowed, he followed the scholars and walked out.
"Brother Shaojun, let me see you off."
Wei Zhen also followed from behind.
"Can't you see everyone is staring at us?"
Chen Shaojun laughed and shook his head.
"Huh, I don't care. We grew up together. Even the Queen Mother won't blame us."
Wei Zhen held her head high, hummed softly, and hugged Chen Shaojun's arm, refusing to let go.
Seeing everyone's strange looks, Chen Shaojun had no choice but to let her go.
As the two walked forward, Chen Shaojun asked about Wei Zhen's current situation. Unsurprisingly, since the last incident, Wei Zhen had been severely punished by her father, Marquis Wei, and her movements were strictly restricted. She was strictly prohibited from approaching half of the Chen family.
Step by step, and sent guard experts to monitor and guard at all times.
When Chen Shaojun heard this, he was filled with emotion and moved at the same time.
In the most difficult time, only the girl beside him never left him, and she always tried her best to help him secretly.
If it weren't for Wei Zhen, he would have been imprisoned like his father long ago, and there would be nothing that happened next, let alone entering the palace to treat the crown prince's illness.
