Chapter 19: The Struggle

Ji Yao looked at the people in the courtyard, and he was really speechless, especially in the face of the disdainful gaze of the little students, the already empty heart became more and more unstable. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ma Yun, who had just taken back the wild bird, suddenly squinted towards her again, Ji Yao subconsciously took a step back, but he couldn't keep up with Ma Yun's hand speed, his back was cold, and the entire bow bag was taken off by Ma Yun.

"Look, this is his bow and arrow, there are so many cold arrows left, I don't think there is a single arrow at all!" Ma Yun threw the bow bag in his hand to the ground, turned around and said fiercely, "Let's be honest!" Where did these prey come from? Did you steal it?! ”

"It must have been stolen, isn't Ma Yun's wild bird also with him? I didn't expect him to be so shameless for the five thousand gold! ”

"I've long seen him unpleasant, he doesn't have the slightest literati atmosphere, and he got in with the idea of a bounty."

Ji Yao didn't think that this bow and arrow was actually from the Dingwang Mansion, if it was from Liu Xun, it seemed that he could still find an excuse to bluff the past, but this Dingwang ......

"Yao Yingzhao, don't you have anything to explain?" The examiner stepped and slowly walked towards Ji Yao, his calm eyes suddenly blinked quickly, obviously making some kind of hint to Ji Yao.

Ji Yao looked at him inexplicably, thinking of Ma Yun's previous words, he became more and more puzzled, could it be that the prince really favored him? Or did the prince already know about his disguise as a man?

"Yingzhao, if you have anything to say, you can't continue the next competition if you don't explain this matter clearly." Zhu Shang patted her on the shoulder and encouraged.

"Yes, that's right."

The pleasant female voice came head-on, Ji Yao lowered her eyes suddenly, and looked at Shangjiang Chuxiu's gaze, only to see her smile generously: "Maybe this is a misunderstanding, don't think too much, Ji ......"

When Jiang Chuxiu said this, he was busy and paused, Ji Yao heard this, his heart jumped suddenly and fell heavily, and sure enough, the taste of being grabbed by the pigtail was quite uncomfortable!

"Cut ......"

There was a mocking sound in their ears, and everyone was just angry at the favoritism and cover-up of the main examiner and the eldest lady of the Jiang family, but no one dared to come out and say a word, after all, they knew that this thin little brother was summoned by the prince by name, and he was not sure that he would be reused in the future.

Among these people, only Ma Yun is the most confident, and it can also be said that he is the most reckless, and said loudly: "From Fang Cai to now, he hasn't said a word, and it is obvious that he can't even find an excuse, what chance does such a person have to give him an explanation?" If Yao Yingzhao can get past such an unfair competition, I don't want to participate! ”

"What Brother Ma Yun said is true! If he stays here, then I'll quit the competition! ”

More and more people agreed, which made the examiner very embarrassed, and hesitated for a while before he spoke: "This matter...... I have to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make a decision, don't be too impulsive. ”

"What else do you ask? Do you still have to bother His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make a decision about things that can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye?! The most important thing in the competition is fairness, and some people try to cheat and mix up the competition, which is really disgusting! Even if we block the mouths of a few of us, can the mouths of the people in Jinling City be blocked? Where does the face of the East Palace remain? Where is the prestige of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?! ”

Ma Yun's righteous indignant words, saying that Ji Yao felt that he had committed a heinous crime, and his heart couldn't help but be a little shaken, and he said, "Yes......"

"No more asking, I gave him the arrow." A cold voice came from outside the crowd, and everyone turned around to see that it was Liu Xun who was dressed in an ink-colored robe with a calm expression.

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." Liu Xun stepped forward and bowed to Xie Wu, Xie Wei raised his hand to show that he was exempt, and a trace of surprise flashed in his beautiful eyes.

She knows a little about the hatred between Ji Yao and Liu Xun, how could Liu Xun suddenly jump out and say good things for Ji Yao at this time?

"Shizi?"

"That's not right, so why didn't Yao Yingzhao tell the truth? Since it is the son of the world who gave arrows, why not talk about it? ”

Liu Xun turned around silently, staring at Ma Yun's back with two sharp eyes, and then slowly spit out the words: "It's because I didn't have the permission of His Royal Highness King Ding's permission to give arrows privately, and Yingzhao doesn't know my relationship with His Royal Highness King Ding, so I have some scruples." ”

His words were not very convincing, but none of the people who looked at Liu Xun with a solemn expression dared to question it, Liu Xun glanced at everyone, walked up to Ji Yao and whispered: "Come with me, I have something to say to you." ”

Ji Yao was naturally grateful to him, nodded and was about to follow, when the examiner rushed over and interrupted the two: "Shizi, before the competition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had instructed the officials to take Yao Gongzi to the East Palace immediately after the competition, so ......"

Liu Xun paused and looked at Ji Yao, Ji Yao then understood, no wonder these people were so hostile to him, it turned out to be a good thing done by the prince!

"Ahem, ahem!" Ji Yao covered her mouth and coughed violently, the momentum was almost to cough all the internal organs clean, the examiner subconsciously took two steps back, Ji Yao finally stopped coughing, and said with difficulty, "I am not feeling well today, and the same is true if I don't speak, so I will bother the Lord and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to talk." ”

The examiner nodded heavily, without the slightest doubt about Ji Yao's words, didn't the literati who participated in the competition all come to be the strategists of the East Palace?

can be summoned by the East Palace before the end of the competition, who will pretend to be sick and refuse to see it?

"What? Are you sick? ”

Another voice came from outside the crowd, and everyone turned their heads to look again, only to see King Su holding armor in his hand, it seemed that he had just returned from the barracks, and he had not had time to change his clothes.

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Su." A group of people hurriedly bowed down and saluted, making way for King Su.

Ji Yao couldn't even say half a sentence at the moment, she just wanted to find a hole to get into, and it was a coincidence today.

"Go back to the courtyard and stay well, it's not too late to say anything when you get better." King Su walked straight to Ji Yao, swept his eyes at Liu Xun, and said unceremoniously, "Ah Xun, what do you say?" ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Su." Liu Xun lowered his eyes, and there was still no emotion on his face.

Seeing his respectful appearance, King Su had a slight displeasure on his face, coupled with the news he had heard in the past few days, he no longer had half of his childhood friendship for Liu Xun, so he immediately turned his head and hugged Ji Yao, and swaggered out of the crowd.

Leaving a courtyard of people to talk in a low voice, "What is the origin of this Yao Ying?" What is your background at home? can be taken care of by His Royal Highness the Prince, the Prince, and His Royal Highness King Su! ”

"That's not all! I've heard that Her Royal Highness has taken a fancy to him! ”
