25. Four Arts Conference

Before Mrs. Zhao could speak, Ji Le, who had been ignored on the side, took the lead and said, "Mrs. Zhao, you can't see my existence at all." ”

"Oh! It turned out to be Ji Lexian's nephew, and the old man was too excited, forgive me! For his gaffe, Mrs. Zhao was also a little embarrassed.

After greeting Ji Le, he looked at Mo Yi on the other side, and asked Liansheng, "I don't know who this is?" ”

"This is a friend of the little woman, Mo Wei."

"Oh." Mrs. Zhao heard that she was Liansheng's friend, and she couldn't help but look at Mo Wei twice. "Come on, come on, don't stand outside, let's go in and talk!"

Then Mrs. Zhao enthusiastically led the way in front, and constantly introduced Hanlin Academy and his son Zhao Xuwen to Liansheng.

Even if Lian Sheng didn't understand the meaning of "Dragon and Phoenix Shuanglin Jade Pendant", he also knew what kind of wishful thinking this Zhao Taifu was having.

And Mo Wei, who has been following Liansheng, is not as good as usual, and he is quiet at the moment and does not say a word.

Ji Le, who was walking side by side with Mo Shun, looked at Mrs. Zhao's appearance of praising his son very much, and he really felt that it was too ruined to ruin the image of being highly respected on weekdays, and was about to bury three grievances with Mo Shun, when he turned his head to look at Mo Shun, he saw Mo Shun with a gloomy face, staring at Mrs. Zhao deadly.

I'm afraid that the kind of aura that people don't get close to is only the Zhao Taifu who has been chattering all the time has not felt it.

Just as Ji Le was thinking about whether to interrupt Mrs. Zhao, a hearty voice sounded.

"Dad, is there a distinguished guest here?"

The person who came was Zhao Xuwen, the son of Mrs. Zhao, who was dressed in a green robe, exuding an elegant scholarly temperament and a handsome face.

Mrs. Zhao saw that her son was coming at the right time, and her smiling eyes were almost invisible.

Zhao Xuwen heard his father praising himself all the time, if he didn't come out again, he didn't know what he would say later.

As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw the woman standing next to his father. Dressed in white, she is a little dazzling, but her face is cold, her eyes are as bright as a galaxy, and her body is graceful and slender, and she is a complete peerless beauty. But the whole person exudes a cold atmosphere, which makes people dare not think about it.

"Preface, you came just in time, this is the Liansheng girl I keep mentioning to you." Seeing Zhao Xuwen walking into the lobby, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly beckoned over.

"You're Miss Liansheng?" Looking at Liansheng's beautiful face, Zhao Xuwen could not connect him with the previous female liar for a while.

"Hello Zhao Gongzi, the little woman is Liansheng." didn't care about the stunned on Zhao Xuwen's face, Lian Sheng said lightly.

Realizing his gaffe, Zhao Xuwen said with some embarrassment: "Miss Liansheng has admired her name for a long time, and under Zhao Xuwen, thank you for saving her father's life." ”

"Zhao Gongzi doesn't have to take it to heart, it's just a gesture." After speaking, Lian Sheng handed the "Dragon and Phoenix Shuanglin Jade Pendant" to Zhao Xuwen. "Zhao Gongzi, Liansheng just heard today that this jade pendant is the heirloom of your Zhao family, Liansheng didn't know before, but accepted it as an ordinary jade pendant, and today the thing is returned to the original owner, I hope you don't mind."

Seeing that Lian Sheng was going to return the "Dragon and Phoenix Shuanglin Jade Pendant" to Zhao Xuwen, the reactions of the other four people present were all different.

As soon as Lian Sheng finished speaking, he said anxiously: "Miss Liansheng, you don't need to return the jade pendant, this is my original reward for your life-saving grace." ”

Listening to Mrs. Zhao's answer, Ji Le couldn't laugh or cry, did he directly stuff his son to repay the girl's life-saving grace.

As soon as Ji Le turned his head to see Mo Yi's reaction, he heard a low chuckle.

Mo Wei didn't know why, since the appearance of Zhao Taifu, his mood became more and more irritable, until this Zhao Xuwen appeared, this irritability directly reached the peak.

But after seeing this scene in front of him, the whole person relaxed, and he laughed unconsciously.

However, when it comes to mood fluctuations, the biggest ups and downs should be Zhao Xuwen.

In the past, whenever Mrs. Zhao mentioned this Liansheng girl, Zhao Xuwen felt that his father must have been deceived, "Dragon and Phoenix Shuanglin Jade Pendant" not only has a reputation for fine workmanship, but also a pair of jade pendants are rare in the world, how could that girl not know back then.

So as time went by, Zhao Xuwen unconsciously had some prejudice against this girl who had been talking about Mrs. Zhao.

Even after seeing me today, Zhao Xuwen's prejudice against Liansheng has not disappeared. It wasn't until Lian Sheng took out the jade pendant and returned it to himself just now that Zhao Xuwen's impression of Lian Sheng slowly changed.

"Let the Liansheng girl smile, this "dragon and phoenix Shuanglin jade pendant" is not only the heirloom of our Zhao family, but also has some important significance for the next, when the father was hastily gifted to the Liansheng girl, but also let the next headache for a while, fortunately, the Liansheng girl is also a reasonable person, if the Liansheng girl has other fancy things, you can inform the next, if it is within the ability of the next, in the next should be taken to give to the Liansheng girl. ”

Seeing Zhao Xuwen say this, if Mrs. Zhao hadn't seen Lian Sheng present, he would definitely rush over and scold.

The four people present at this moment all looked at Liansheng to see how Liansheng would answer.

"The little girl is not a person who is greedy for returns, but Liansheng did come here today to ask for something."

After listening to Liansheng's answer, Zhao Xuwen frowned slightly: "I don't know what it is?" ”

"My friend and I need to meet the emperor in person, but we are new to the Forbidden Imperial City, and we have no relatives or friends here, so we thought of Taifu Zhao."

"Friends?" At this time, Zhao Xuwen found the man behind Liansheng.

The man was dressed in black, his long black hair was tied up high, his peach blossom eyes were full of disdain, his high nose bridge and angular lips were handsome, and he couldn't help but secretly admire.

If it is the cold breath that rippled just now, then this man is the breath of danger. But the two of them stood there as if they were a match made in heaven.

Sensing the temptation in Zhao Xuwen's eyes, Mo Wei stepped forward and said after standing side by side with Lian Sheng: "In Xia Mo Wei, everything is just as Lian'er said. ”

There weren't too many words, but Zhao Xuwen could still feel Mo Wei's strong hostility.

And Ji Le, who was standing behind everyone, had an expression that knew in his heart, I understood, I understood.

Listening to Liansheng's request, Zhao Xuwen said with a headache: "But it is not easy to meet the emperor in person, I have only met the emperor a few times, and my father has never seen the emperor since he concentrated on managing the Hanlin Academy without asking about court affairs." ”

After getting Zhao Xuwen's answer, Lian Sheng was also a little disappointed. But just as Liansheng was about to find a new way, a somewhat smug male voice sounded. "It's not impossible."

Everyone looked at the voice, and it was Ji Le who spoke.

Hearing Ji Le's words, Lian Sheng was also a little excited: "What way?" ”

Seeing that everyone's attention was all on him, Ji Le was a little proud: "Brother Zhao, haven't you forgotten that in two days there will be a Four Arts Conference every five years, which is hosted by your Hanlin Academy." ”

When Ji Le spoke out just now, Zhao Xuwen was a little embarrassed, because he didn't even find Ji Le standing aside, and at this moment he was named, Zhao Xuwen responded a little unnaturally: "I didn't expect Brother Ji to be there, but fortunately, Brother Ji reminded me that it would indeed be the Four Arts Conference in two days." ”

"Hey, I didn't expect that the father and son were exactly the same, and they couldn't see my existence at all." saw Zhao Xuwen's embarrassment, but Ji Le still teased.

"What is the Four Arts Conference?" Mo Ying, who had been silent beside him, asked. "Draft?"

As soon as Mo Yi finished speaking, he heard Lian Sheng chuckle: "You." ”

Everyone watched the small interaction between the two, some were happy and some were sad.

"Ahem, ahem." Seeing that he was ignored again, Ji Le hurriedly said: "The Four Arts Conference is a conference organized by the Hanlin Academy at the behest of the royal family, and all the ladies in the Forbidden City show their talents, and the emperor will also be present on the day of the conference, and then the emperor will reward her with a wish." ”

"However, it is limited to women who have not yet left the cabinet, and many young ladies from the official palace will participate, which is an opportunity to make a splash." Zhao Xuwen added.

After listening to what the two of them said, Mo Wei frowned, turned his head to Lian Sheng and said, "This kind of scene is not suitable for you. ”

"But there's no other way, and I don't want you to break the rules."

Looking at Lian Sheng's firm eyes, the two were frozen for a while, and finally Mo Wei sighed slightly: "Okay, then you are careful, I will assist on the side." ”

"Hmm." Liansheng's voice was like a fine mosquito, and Mo Wei didn't hear it clearly, but it contained a faint warmth, which made people happy when they heard it.

Seeing that Liansheng and Mo Wei discussed the results, Ji Le continued: "This Four Arts Conference is the same as the name, the test is the four arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you don't need to display all four, just choose one of the best displays." ”

"And how do you decide the winner?"

When Ji Le was about to answer Liansheng, Zhao Xuwen spoke first: "At that time, there will be four winners in the conference, one each for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the performers of each talent will be displayed one by one, and finally the emperor will decide the winner." ”

Ji Le, who was robbed, looked at Lian Sheng with some grievance: "Engong, do you have anything else you want to ask." ”

"Nope."

Regarding Ji Le's title, Zhao Xuwen "is a little puzzled: Engong? Brother Ji, why are you called Liansheng girl Engong? ”

"I was entangled by Su Ruoyan just now, and it was the two fathers who helped me escape." Speaking of this, Ji Le, who was already grieving, seemed to have lost his life.

Looking at Zhao Xuwen's clear reaction, this Su Ruoyan's name was also thunderous.
