Feng Lingchen walked out from behind the rockery, and looked at Ji Xia Mo with a smile as if he had swallowed a live fly in an instant. He stayed here for a while, he didn't like to be noisy, and left the palace maids and guards with him to hide here, but he didn't want to bump into Ji Xiamo and Qin Yan.

Ben heard the two talking and laughing, he couldn't help but laugh a little, and then Ji Xiamo said a little presumptuously, lest the wall had ears, and after he said something more shocking, Feng Lingchen had to show up and interrupt.

Seeing Feng Lingchen walk out, Qin Yan took off his guard and bowed. "See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Facing Feng Lingchen's smiling gaze, Ji Xiamo shrank his neck weakly and saluted with Qin Yan. "I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Feng Lingchen slightly, walked to Ji Xiamo's side and helped him, and deliberately quipped. "The last time we met, you called me a brother and a brother, why did you break up this time?"

Ji Xia Mo choked, and there was a mouthful of old blood in his throat. Take a step back and look serious. "Last time, I didn't know the true face of the prince, and if I was rude, I hope the prince is not to blame."

Anyway, the thing is already in his hand, and he wants to spit it out again!

Feng Lingchen smiled, this smile was really like a stranger, a gentleman like a jade, a gentleman in the world, but Ji Xia Mo was a little stunned.

"You little monkey, do you blame me for deceiving you?"

Monkey??? Ji Xia Mo glared, I still have eight precepts!!

didn't want to continue the topic with Feng Lingchen, so Ji Xiamo had to change the topic dryly. "Qin Xiaoyan, you and ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows? ”

Feng Lingchen glanced at Qin Yan, a light smile on the corner of his mouth, elegant as a lotus. "Qin family Xiaolang, I have met a few times, but I have never talked alone like today."

"It's you." Feng Lingchen's words changed and moved to Ji Xiamo. "Today is the time for you to compete with Gongsun Yue, why did you come here?"

Ji Xia Mo snorted lightly, spread out his two hands and looked at Feng Lingchen innocently, "Relax before the war." ”

"Seeing you like this, it seems that you are already ready for today's competition?"

Ji Xiamo touched his nose and muttered vaguely. "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, in general, it is to see the move."

Feng Lingchen didn't know what Ji Xia Mo meant, but when he didn't want to say more, he didn't ask. "It's not convenient for you to say more, I'm optimistic about your appearance today."

Ji Xiamo is a little innocent, these days, no one believes the truth?

Qin Yan shook his fist in the void and gritted his teeth. "Well! I can't see that guy Gongsun Yue killed all over the ground looking for teeth today!! ”

Ji Xia Mo covered his face, feeling powerless. If you are not afraid of an opponent like a god, you are afraid of an opponent like a pig.

Feng Lingchen raised his eyebrows slightly, and moved his gaze to Ji Xiamo meaninglessly. Ji Xiamo smiled 'hehe', gave Qin Yan a murderous look, and grinded his teeth secretly. "Qin Xiaoyan, do you know how many strokes there are in the word modesty?"

"How much?" stared at Ji Xiamo stupidly.

Ji Xiamo was almost by Qin Yan, this kid already knew that he was not smart, how could he be stupid like this! Taking a deep breath, Ji Xiamo squeezed out a smile. "Qin Xiaoyan, the first ...... of the competition Bah! Competition is second, friendship is first, we have to respect the opponent, understand? ”

"Isn't that what you told me in the first place?" Qin Yan was a little confused. "I didn't even copy a word."

"Qin Xiaoyan!! You pig, do you have boiled water in your head!! Ji Xiamo didn't even bother to cover his face, and kicked it directly.

Feng Lingchen couldn't hide his smile anymore, and couldn't help but raise his head and laugh out loud, his eyebrows were full of heartiness and pleasure. The unchanged warmth dissipated, like a green lotus blooming, and I don't know whose eyes I lost.

After all, today is the protagonist, Ji Xiamo and Qin Yan didn't dare to stay longer, so they quit Feng Lingchen and hurried back. Seeing the two of them go away, Feng Lingchen also turned around and left, and he had some expectations for today's game.

After returning to the side hall and waiting for about half an hour, a group of people were led to the arena by a group of eunuchs and palace maids. Or because today's event does not talk about family and national affairs, does not dance knives and guns, only talks about the wind and snow, and dances and texts, the venue of the competition is set in a pear garden.

Just enter the pear orchard only to feel a pear blossom fragrance blowing in the face, nearly a thousand meters of the yard planted with pear trees, at a glance like an endless sea of white flowers, the breeze blows, the pear blossoms are all over the sky, the fragrance is around, just like a fairyland on earth.

Ji Xia Mo shook off the falling flowers on his sleeves, smashed his mouth, and wondered in his heart whether such a large pear orchard was sweet or not.

Leaving behind Ji Ye, who was constantly socializing, Ji Xiamo took Qin Yan to shuttle through the sea of pear orchard flowers, bringing the fragrance of pear blossoms all over his body.

"Ji Xia Mo." Qin Yan hooked Ji Xiamo's shoulder, angrily pouted in one direction, and lowered his voice. "And voila! Gongsun Yue, that turtle grandson, is there. ”

Ji Xia Mo looked for what Qin Yan was counting on, and saw an old man leaning on a chair with an indifferent expression, and his eyebrows were full of arrogance. Gongsun Yue stood beside the old man, his chin held high, and his face was proud. Surrounded by a cadre of officials, smiling and flattering.

If nothing else, that old man should be Sun Rui, the current father-in-law of the protector.

Ji Xia Mo stabbed Qin Yan's chest with his elbow, motioned to Gongsun Yue, who was like a peacock, and joked, "I found that some people owe more than you." ”

Qin Yan glared, and his subordinates hammered Ji Xia Mo. "Don't mess me up with that calf."

Ji Xiamo covered his mouth and giggled. "We were the first ...... When I met for the first time after my illness, your arrogant little appearance deeply aroused my desire to ravage. ”

"It's not!" Speaking of that time, Qin Yan thought of something, let go of Ji Xiamo's shoulders, and his face was a little unkind. "Ji Xiamo, when you were on the first floor, did you also dig a pit for me like fooling Gongsun Yue?"

Ji Xia Mo made a move, then grinned, and the two brothers hugged Qin Yan's shoulder, "Look, what are you talking about?" What is the relationship between the two of us, a buddy in a pair of pants, a brother who dares to live and die, am I that kind of person? ”

Qin Yan snorted and ignored Ji Xia Mo, but the expression on his face was better.

Ji Xiamo turned his face away, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked empty.

Gongsun Yue over there also saw Qin Yan here, and suddenly his chin was raised higher, and he almost let out air through his nostrils, and his face was full of arrogance and disdain.

Qin Yan came up angrily, and he was about to step forward and beat people with his hands. "This calf, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill him!"

Ji Xia Mo hurriedly stopped the person, this is going to go up, and it won't matter. "What for! This belt is all undone, and you can't help but pull it when you almost take off your pants? ”

Qin Yan, the dead dragger, walked out of Gongsun Yue's sight, and Ji Xiamo kicked Qin Yan's calf, looking like he hated iron but not steel. "The two of us are grasshoppers on a rope now, you are now purely looking for death, and if you dare to give me trouble after preparing for so many days, I will skin you alive, master. You can't be loved, don't pull me! I haven't done enough of the scourge, sir! ”

Qin Yan looked at it for a long time, slowly pulled out his hand, and opened his mouth faintly. "Ji Xiamo, you're really disgusting."

Ji Xia Mo choked, stabilized his undulating chest, and hooked his fingers at Qin Yan with a smile. "Qin Xiaoyan~~~ Come here, I promise not to kill you~~~"

Qin Yan stepped back and waved his hand happily. "I'm not stupid, you won't kill me now?"

"If you don't come, I'll kill you!!" Ji Xia Mo roared angrily and rushed towards Qin Yan, but he didn't want to come to him, and was firmly grabbed by the back collar with one hand.

"Xiao Mo is really energetic, it seems that he has the chance to win today's game, so I can rest assured." Feng Shaojin walked over, smiled at Ji Xiamo, who was being carried by Jin Wuji, and quipped.

"The Fifth Prince." Qin Yan clenched his fists.

Ji Xiamo was held by Jin Wuji by the back collar and aggrievedly held Jin Wuji's hand. "Brother Jin~~"

Jin Wuji let go of his hand, straightened Ji Xiamo's collar, and stood behind Ji Xiamo with an indifferent expression.

Ji Xiamo stood up, turned around and looked at Feng Shaojin, his face was a little more serious. "Fifth Prince, how are things being prepared?"

"It's been properly arranged according to your requirements, but I'm getting more and more curious about what those big guys are for."

Facing Feng Shaojin's inquiry, Ji Xia Mo smiled mysteriously. "Lord Wang, it's not a secret if the secret is unlocked."

Feng Shaojin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. "Well, I'm not in a hurry for these hours."

"The emperor has arrived!!" Several people were talking happily with each other, and a sharp voice was long and open, and the hundred officials suddenly stopped their voices, knelt down in unison, and shouted long live.

Ji Xia Mo knelt on his knees, squinted his eyes and secretly looked at Gongsun Rui, and saw that he did not kneel, but only bowed down to respect the Son of Heaven.

The guards were neatly guarded on both sides, and the eunuchs and palace maids were clustered around, headed by Emperor Fengyuan, the queen was on the left, the concubine was on the right, and the prince and the princes followed.

Passing by Ji Xiamo, Feng Yelan looked sideways slightly, and her deep gaze stayed under Ji Xiamo's knees for a moment, and then moved away, the corners of her lips pursed slightly, and a trace of strangeness rose in the depths of her calm black eyes.

Emperor Fengyuan got up on the high platform, turned around and swept to the kneeling people, and ordered in a deep voice, and the ministers thanked the Holy Grace again, got up one after another, and returned to their seats in an orderly manner.

Ji Ye glanced at Ji Xia Mo and stopped talking, with a look of worry in his eyes. Ji Xia Mo smiled back, signaled Ji Ye to feel at ease, and took Qin Yan, Jin Wuji, and Feng Shaojin forward.

Gongsun Yue stood five feet away from Ji Xiamo's left side, followed by four old men who were not confused. Standing with his hands down, with the pride of a scholar on his face.

Emperor Fengyuan swept his eyes, and his gaze stopped on Feng Shaojin. "Old Five, what are you doing there?"

Feng Shaojin raised his eyebrows and smiled, and bowed. "I'm afraid my father doesn't know, but today's sons are playing against all the masters together with the eldest son of Ji."

Emperor Fengyuan glanced at the four old men behind Gongsun Yue, and then glanced at the 'crooked melon and cracked dates' beside Ji Xia Mo, and his brows tightened more and more.

Gongsun Yue glanced at Ji Xia Mo obliquely, and when he saw that there was no foreign aid here, and even Qin Yan, the 'straw bag', was in it, he immediately sneered, and his disdain was even worse.

At this time, the hundreds of officials watching also lowered their heads and whispered. The four of them on Gongsun Yue's side are all respected masters of Hanbo Academy, while Ji Xiamo's side is barely except for one who has both style and literary brilliance, and is familiar with poetry and books. The other three, although Ji Xiamo has some talent for solving cases, he is also a well-known waste in the capital who does not learn and has no skills. And Qin Yan is not as good as Ji Xiamo, and the life of the straw bag is known to everyone in the entire capital. The other person, although he did not hold a sword, could not be difficult to see the provenance by looking at his clothes and the momentum of his body.

The ministers shook their heads again and again, or sighed at the young man, or mocked the newborn calf for not being afraid of tigers. For this game, the emperor personally wrote the decree, and there was such a battle in the palace, if it was really messed up by these hairy children, I am afraid that it would provoke Long Yan to be angry.

Turning a blind eye to the contempt of the hundreds of officials, Feng Shaojin raised his voice and laughed, "Father, the sons have long admired the master of Hanbo Academy for a long time, and today I just take this opportunity to ask for advice, and I hope that you masters will give you advice." ”

Feng Shaojin glanced back at the four people behind Gongsun Yue, and smiled heartily. The four old men gave up their hands one after another, saying 'don't dare'.

Although Emperor Fengyuan was unhappy in his heart, he didn't say anything more, and said a few words for today's game, and then sat down and motioned to Pu Gonggong next to him to read out the rules of today's game.

The two sides play a game, and the one who catches the red one is the first to answer the question. If you catch the blue one, you will be asked to do so.

The Ombudsman is seven bachelors, each with two jades, engraved with a red and a blue, and after a round of competition, the two sides will be voted in color, and the winner with the most votes will be counted in the end.

The rules were set, Ji Xiamo and Gongsun Yue both stood in their respective positions, looking at Gongsun Yue, who was full of arrogance with his nostrils facing the sky, Ji Xiamo twitched the corners of his mouth, and grinded his hands under the table.

What to do? I want to pump him!

"Game on!!" A gong sounded, Ji Xiamo kicked Qin Yan, Qin Yan took a deep breath and walked towards the center.

On the wooden platform erected, a jade porcelain bottle was placed on the square table, and Ji Xiamo looked at the two opposite with a smile, without any worry on his face. Feng Shaojin glanced at Ji Xiamo curiously, "Aren't you worried that Qin Yan will draw the first red bead?" ”

"Huh? Don't worry. Ji Xia Mo smiled poorly. I, don't worry. ”

Jin Wuji glanced at Ji Xia Mo's little face, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.

On the wooden platform, Gongsun Yue looked at Qin Yan from the corner of his eyes and sneered coldly. "Qin Yan! Ben Gongzi will definitely make you kneel down and beg for mercy! ”

Qin Yan snorted and picked up the arrogance he had when he and Ji Xiamo 'first met'. "Really? This is not the end, and it is not certain who will beg for mercy. ”

"Please draw jade beads from both sides!" The eunuch on the side shouted.

Seeing the hands of the two of them stretched out into the bottle from a distance, Ji Xiamo's eyes were slightly dark, and he coldly glanced at the weak woman standing next to the porcelain bottle wearing palace clothes and having an unhappy face.

The woman glanced at Ji Xiamo, although she was not happy, she was afraid that Ji Xiamo would really accept herself, so she had to bend down and blow on the porcelain bottle.

As soon as Qin Yan and Gongsun Yue put their hands into the bottle, they felt a chill hit their whole bodies along the back of their hands, and they couldn't help but shiver, and their hands shrank a little.

The two jade beads dribbled in the bottle for a long time, and finally stopped under the two of them one by one.

"Gongsun Gongzi, red jade beads!"

"Young Master Qin, blue jade bead!"

The eunuch glanced at the jade beads in the hands of the two and shouted loudly.

Qin Yan and Gongsun Yue glared at each other again, then turned around and returned to their team.

The woman in palace clothes floated in the air and landed in front of Ji Xiamo faintly, her delicate and pale little face full of anger. "Bad guys! Threaten me!! ”

Ji Xia Mo glanced at the woman coldly, and was satisfied to see that the woman was instantly silent, and flew under a pear blossom tree, hiding behind the tree and not daring to rise again.

Gongsun Yue got the red bead and got the right to be the first to ask the question, but after a little discussion over there, an old man with a short beard walked out and went up to the high platform.

Bowing to Emperor Fengyuan, the old man looked at Ji Xiamo and his group, unable to hide the contempt in his eyes. "The old man plucked his head and took the lead in the proposition."

Several eunuchs carried up the two tables and placed the four treasures of the study.

The old man walked to the back of the case and raised his pen to sign. "The old man came up with a question, and his life was splendid."

The four of them looked at each other, Ji Xiamo touched his nose, and said weakly, "I can't write well......"

In fact, he wanted to say that he hadn't even guessed the words.

Qin Yan stepped back and looked up at the sky. "Don't look at me, I can eat the paper, draw and write, then it might as well let me nibble on the table."

The corners of Feng Shaojin's mouth twitched, and he looked at Jin Wuji, who looked at Ji Xiamo lightly, and never looked up. "No, it won't."

"......" is less windy

Looking at the three unreliable teammates, Feng Shaojin touched his conscience, and there was always a feeling that he had been pitted.

The hundred officials have already discussed a lot, and Emperor Fengyuan's face is also a little unsightly, Feng Shaojin is helpless, so he has to take his robe and get up to fight.

"You remembered it for me!" Before leaving, Feng Shaojin twisted Ji Xiamo's face viciously.

Ji Xiamo covered his reddened little face and looked at Jin Wuji aggrievedly. Jin Wuji stretched out his hand to help Ji Xia Mo rub it, silently comforting, looking at Feng Shaojin's back, his eyes were slightly cold.

Feng Shaojin stepped onto the high platform and smiled loudly, implying a bit of murderous intent.

"This king has come to fight !!"
