Coming to King Yun's mansion, Lin Qingzhu followed, and along the way, the subordinates shouted respectfully when they saw Li Yun: "His Royal Highness King Yun." ”

Only then did she know that Li Yun's true identity was King Yun.

This is a little different from the prince she imagined, the prince she knew should be high and majestic, but Li Yun is very colorful, but it is difficult to associate with the word "prince".

After Li Yun returned home, Qing'er, the personal maid, immediately leaned forward and said as she walked, "Your Highness, who is this girl?" ”

"This Wang's classmate, called Lin Qingzhu, you should send someone to freshen her up and choose suitable clothes to wear."

After that, Li Yun returned to the study, while Lin Qingzhu was taken to another garden by Qing'er, and selected three maids for Lin Qingzhu to make a beating.

There was nothing to do today, Li Yun went to the study to get two books, it was because he carefully tasted it, he was learning the art of "writing to carry the Tao", and the level of skill depended on the degree of ink in his belly.

Since that night's battle, due to the heavy damage to his body, his strength has been greatly reduced, and he must find a way to restore his cultivation, after all, he will have to take the martial arts exam soon.

This time, in the two examinations of the imperial examination and the martial arts, Li Yun wanted to win the double champion, and he could improve his cultivation while studying, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Under the Canglang Pavilion in the back garden, Li Yun is studying Huan Kuan's "Treatise on Salt and Iron", accompanied by a gust of breeze, birds singing and flowers, reading in such an environment is really a great joy in life.

About an hour later, Qing'er walked over and said, "Your Highness, Miss Lin has finished dressing, please read it." ”

As he spoke, Li Yun raised his eyes and looked at a purple-clothed girl who came from the atrium, looking at her appearance, the crescent moon was clear, the flowers and trees were piling up snow, the beautiful and gaudy face was smooth and crystalline, her jaw was pointed, her face was white and greasy, a cherry mouth was dexterous and upright, her lips were very thin, and her two rows of white teeth were like broken jade, she was really a stunning beauty.

For a while, Li Yun was so confused that he asked with a slight stunnedness: "Is she ......?"

"Your Highness is not stupid, of course she is Miss Lin." Qing'er replied.

Of course, Li Yun knew that she was Lin Qingzhu, but where did he think that Lin Qingzhu would be so fresh and refined, and he was alive and fragrant. Lin Qingzhu's previous appearance came to his mind, and it was like two people.

Before, Lin Qingzhu was gray-headed, like a bastard who crawled out of the dirt, and he was even more unkempt, if it wasn't for a woman's voice to speak, otherwise it would be difficult to distinguish between male and female.

Now after meticulously crafting, Yanran presents a very different picture, but I didn't expect Lin Qingzhu to be a big beauty, which really made Li Yun unexpected.

Since he was a child, Lin Qingzhu has never used rouge powder, nor has he worn any splendid clothing, and after trying it for the first time, he seemed a little nervous and cramped.

A pair of helpless hands did not know how to place, and she clung to the corner of her clothes, using all her might, as if she were about to tear it apart.

was taken to the pavilion, Li Yun naturally looked at it, and couldn't help but say: "Yes, yes, girls should be dressed more exquisitely, from now on, you will go to the Guozijian in this outfit, this king wants to see who dares to bully you." ”

Lin Qingzhu hurriedly shook his head and refused: "No, no, this dress is too expensive, I don't have the money to buy it." ”

"Who said that you should buy it, although this king is not as rich as other princes, he can still afford a few clothes, so he will dress like this to ensure that he will overwhelm all the women in the country."

Li Yun's words are not nonsense, just talking about Lin Qingzhu's face, it is estimated that looking at Chang'an City, I am afraid that only Tang Zhenzhen can compete with them.

"If it weren't for the principal who brought me back to Guozijian, I'm afraid that I'm still farming in the mountains at the moment, and I came to Guozijian to study to take the imperial examination, not to be a beauty pageant."

The society of the Tang Dynasty was open, but there were no conservative in other dynasties, and it was not uncommon for women to enter the court as officials, such as the later Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er, all of whom were women in politics and in charge of state power.

It is understandable for women to participate in the imperial examination, and there are no explicit regulations, so naturally there is no constraint that they cannot participate.

"You're also going to take the imperial examination?"

Lin Qingzhu said: "Of course, only by passing the imperial examination and the title of the gold list can I change my fate." ”

Lin Qingzhu's family is poor, his father has studied in a private school for a few days, and knows some words, which is a poetic name for his daughter, because the family is poor, and has no power, no power, and no background, so the only way for them to change their fate is the imperial examination system.

But Li Yun poured cold water on her: "The title of the gold list is the dream of students all over the world, but with your current level, don't talk about the title of the gold list, I'm afraid that you may not even be able to pass the township test." ”

It's not that Li Yun speaks badly, he has known Lin Qingzhu, because of his humble background, he is fortunate to enter the Guozijian to study, but he can only be assigned to the yellow character class, because the yellow character class does not have enough authority, he can't borrow books from the library pavilion at all.

In addition, Lin Qingzhu is penniless and can't afford to buy books, which is why she cherishes her books very much, so she will hold them all the time and never let go.

Lin Qingzhu also knows his own catties, because he can't go to the Tianzi class, so he doesn't have the right to borrow books, after all, the yellow character class, as the tail class of the Wannian crane of the Guozijian, is a gathering place for the children of the court, Rao is Lin Qingzhu wants to learn, but the hardware facilities can't keep up.

"I know it's going to be difficult, but I can't give up." Lin Qingzhu said.

"Can I help you?"

"You?"

Before this, although Lin Qingzhu didn't know Li Yun, he had also heard about some of the deeds of King Yun, which were full of bad deeds and were "waste" in the world's mouth.

A waste teach to help yourself? Isn't it a bit of a joke?

And Li Yun also saw what Lin Qingzhu was thinking, and said: "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through it, if you think that this king is really as the outside world says, then you are really too ignorant." ”

"Ignorance?"

To understand a person's true situation, the evaluation of outsiders is a very important criterion for consideration, if a person has a bad evaluation of him, it can still be said that the two have a holiday, but everyone is spreading the word, and how can she not believe it?

Li Yun didn't really get angry, he didn't care about the eyes of others, he had suffered countless ridicule and banter from childhood to adulthood, so it was not worth being angry.

Li Yun put down the book in his hand, got up by himself, walked to the side of the lake, turned his back to Lin Qingzhu, and the next person came over and handed over the bait, he grabbed a handful and threw it into the lake.

But seeing those jumping koi carp, they snatched the bait one after another, if you want to say who among these koi fish, who grabbed the most, Li Yun didn't know the answer, but he knew that only the strong could grab the most, which was understandable.

The winner takes all!

These four words are enough to explain everything, looking at the picture of the fish snatching in the water, Li Chuan turned to look at Lin Qingzhu and said: "How about this, you and I have a competition, if you win, the books on this palace are as you choose; If you lose, what do you think of following this king from now on, and this king will teach you to learn? ”

Lin Qingzhu heard that the books of Yunwangfu could be read casually, which was undoubtedly a great temptation for her, and she was confident that she would win the game, after all, her opponent was Li Yun.

And even if you lose, it doesn't seem to have much impact on yourself, no matter how you look at it, it's a sure thing.

"Okay, I promise you, how do you compare?"

Lin Qingzhu responded happily.

Li Yun waved his hand indifferently and said: "We are all Tang people, as the people of the Tang Dynasty, poetry is the foundation of the literary competition, it is compared to poetry, how about it?" ”

Compared with couplets, poetry can better reflect a person's true cultural level, and the Tang people love to compose poems, otherwise, how could they leave such a huge and vast Tang poem "three thousand" to future generations.

"That's fine, then I don't know how to compare?" Lin Qingzhu asked again.

Li Yun waved his hand again and said: "Since you and I are competing, there are no such rules at all, you and I both write a poem, and see which of us writes better, can we?" ”

Lin Qingzhu readily agreed, it was fair and just, she had nothing to say.

But the question is, who will referee them? What if the other party cheats?

"And who's going to judge us?"

But at this time, there was an uninvited guest, and at this time he heard a hearty laugh, and both of them followed the sound, but saw the merchant boat coming uninvited.

When the two saw this, they hurriedly saluted, and it was inevitable that they would salute the teacher as students.

Shang Xingzhou walked over, saw Lin Qingzhu's changed appearance, and was a little surprised, but only a glance, came to the Canglang Pavilion, and said: "I just heard that the two of you are going to have a competition, so it's very good, then the old man will be the referee for you, do you have no opinion?" ”

"The principal is in person, and the students naturally have no opinions." Lin Qingzhu said respectfully, she has great respect for Shang Xingzhou.

As soon as the words fell, another man came: "Count me in." ”

Fang Xuanling also followed, and he and Shang Xingzhou arrived one after another, as if they had made an appointment.

"Lord Fang is here suddenly, is there something important?" Li Yun asked.

Fang Xuanling replied: "There is indeed one thing, I don't care about it later, I heard that you are going to compete in poetry, let us two elders take a look at your skills today." ”

With Fang Xuanling and Shang Xingzhou as referees, Lin Qingzhu has no worries.

She glanced at Li Yun and cast a look, Li Yun understood, understood her mind, and the two of them nodded slightly, indicating that they were ready.

At this moment, the subordinates of the palace took the pen and ink inkstone, and Shang Xingzhou announced: "The poetry competition has officially begun." ”

After that, Li Yun and Lin Qingzhu each picked up their pens and dipped them in ink.
