Chapter Twenty-Three: The Northern Rhino Garden's Debate on "Rites" 2

"Okay, don't lose my Prince of Da Zhou, poetry, books, rituals and music, blended together, the second prince is really an example for my students to learn." The prince's face was full of joy and commented loudly.

Today's examination of the students of the family, when the prince is leaving, King Wu of Zhou and the queen have already told the prince, among these students, if they can choose two or three, for the future auxiliary government, it is for the blessing of the monarch, so that the prince can pay attention to it, and select available talents for the country.

"Wang's eldest son, Ji Hanrong." Loyo's voice was neither high nor low, and he preached cautiously.

"The eldest prince, please." Luo You was sleek, and the eldest prince was sitting next to the main seat, and after this Luo You was announced, he hurriedly turned sideways and let Ji Hanrong play.

The eldest son of the king is nearly eighteen years old, and in another year, he will be granted a fief and have a knighthood, and his mother is the princess of the king, and her status is only a little bit lower than that of the queen. The eldest prince is older, has experienced a lot of things, and he has a strong background, so his momentum is different. He walked into the ring with a big grin, and after saluting the prince with a light smile, he did not salute everyone, but straightened up and answered.

"Etiquette is the foundation of people and the instrument of country. If you don't learn etiquette, your family won't stand, and your country won't prosper. Etiquette is outside, music is inside, if you need to respect, you must learn etiquette......"

Although the eldest son of the king, Ji Hanrong, had a contemptuous attitude towards the public, he explained the importance of learning etiquette from the details, and there were all the forces of the Yao clan in the hall, he calmly answered, and after the prince's brief comment, all the students were also applauding.

At the time of the draw, Wu Mu Nu always stared intently at every prince on the field. At first, she thought in her heart that although she was stupid and stupid, if she could be blessed by a powerful Hou Mansion like Yaogou, it would also be a good way to get ahead. So on weekdays, she always deliberately meets with Yaogou, unconsciously deepening Xiaogou's impression of herself, in order to come to the future. Before this ceremony, Wu Mu Nu asked Aunt Si Zhao to prepare a pink and red gown for herself that had been smoked for a few days, and her hair was tied into a middle thread, and her long hair hung down on both shoulders, which was extremely soft. When the students defended, because there were many princes in the royal family, they naturally divided the advantages and disadvantages.

Wu Mu Nu has been staring at one person, and that is the crown prince Ji Yu. This prince Ji recited, he is really a jade tree in the wind, gentle and elegant, his eyes are flowing, his air is lofty, and he is also the future monarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty......

When Wu Mu Nu thought of this, she felt inexplicable joy in her heart, if she could climb him, then the days after that would be fine.

Wu Mu Nu was thinking about which prince to cling to, but she didn't expect that two or three more people went in on the court. The last son, the bird, and the son of the Yong clan all defended one by one.

"Son!" Wei Tong preached again.

"I, I'm ......" Yao Gou heard that he was announced, he was a little panicked, and hurriedly staggered into the ring, forgetting to salute the prince, and only said a few words "I" in a row, and was stunned on the spot.

"Haha, hahahaha." A loud laugh suddenly broke out in the micro hall, and all the students leaned forward and backward with laughter, and the four masters couldn't help but laugh. This smile made the tense test scene more relaxed.

"Meet the prince, hello big guy. I, I can't say anything, etiquette, it's mutual respect, mutual love, a kind of constraint that teaches everyone how to love each other, right? "Ignoring everyone's jokes, I went my own way and said my opinion.

"You're right, don't be impatient." The prince couldn't help but want to laugh, but he still couldn't help it, and he commented on the short reply.

"I, I'll also say a little bit, this argument, can't just us men, men, men, why is there no princess, female concubine? They also learned a lot of homework, and they all worked hard. Xiao Gou was already obese, and after saying so many words, the corners of his mouth overflowed with a lot of salivation, and his funny attitude made everyone laugh even more.

"That's right! Right! My brother is right, I've been waiting for a long, long time. As soon as Xiao Gou's words fell, Ran Meier echoed in a loud voice.

Ran Meier is wearing an orange Luo shirt today, with two buns on her head and a small braid, which seems to be thinner. As soon as everyone took the exam, she couldn't hold it back, and at this time, as soon as Xiao Gou proposed it, which was in line with her thoughts, she immediately echoed it loudly.

Although he has a big head and no brains, this proposal not only fits Ran Meier's mind, but also fits the prince's mind.

In this box, I don't know how several masters put it, why it is only a man, but there is no woman's name, that "Long'er" may be among these students, and the harmony between Xiao Gou and Ran Meier is in the prince's arms.

The prince is the main "debate" today, and he also thinks about the figure of Wu Yiding that night, although it is late at night, he can't see the other party's face clearly, but the appearance and height, the prince knows in his heart, it is estimated that he is a head shorter than himself, and the slender kind. If it was a boy, during the test just now, he smoked half of it, and none of it matched the appearance of the figure he saw that night. The prince privately opened the family roster and browsed it, but there was no name of "Long". was confused in the prince's heart, and he was at a loss, and the two living treasures of the dead family helped a lot.

"What Ran Meier said is very true, what men and women have learned, originally the same, it is about etiquette, women should be respected more than men, they know their essentials, worship and abide by them, and the following should be the performance of my talented women in the Great Zhou Dynasty." The crown prince was like a bell, and greatly rewarded Ran Mei'er with a few words, and after speaking, he looked at Master Li, meaning to say: What about the roster of the female concubines?

"Prince, since ancient times, it is only for men, as for the princesses and daughtersใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚" Seeing that the prince was looking at him, Master Li hurriedly walked forward and greeted the prince.

"Oh? Specifically for men? This, my father once said to the prince, today's examination, regardless of the dignity of men and women, is only virtuous, why is Master Li so worried? Prince and Yan asked.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Shishi hurriedly replied "yes", and at the same time pulled out a stack of wooden slips from the copy, on which were the names of the female concubines in the family study.

"I, I'll come first!" Ran Mei'er saw that the prince was just staring at the wooden scumbag, and she didn't name him for a long time, she raised her hand high and spoke loudly, indicating that she wanted to come up immediately to argue "courtesy".

"Good! Ran Meier is a heroine among women, you, the first. โ€

When the prince saw Ran Mei'er volunteering, he saw the names of the girls in a row on the wooden slip, and he didn't see any word "Long" at a glance, and he was secretly disappointed in his heart. At this time, Ran Meier wants to speak, so it doesn't hurt to let her talk first.

"The one who is a celebrant is also the great instrument of the country. One is auspicious, the second is fierce, the third is bin, and the fourth is ......"

Ran Meier seems to have come prepared, about the meaning of "rites", memorized very well. Her voice was crisp, full of energy, every word was loud, and after a while, she paid the repayment to everyone and saluted everyone, and finally looked at the prince shyly and lowered her head.

"Ran Meier, good job!" The crown prince recited her expression, as if she hadn't seen it. This Ran Meier is usually arrogant and loves to eat, she looks like Xiao Gou is full of meat, and she has always been because of the relationship between the Yao clan and Mrs. Wang Gui, she walks in the palace, without fear, and has never known fear. In order to balance the forces of various ethnic groups and win over the relationship between relatives, King Wu of Zhou turned a blind eye.

The crown prince was already unhappy in her heart, and when she saw her pretending to be shy today, she only laughed in her heart, but because everyone was present, she still praised her verbally.

Next, Princess Wanwan, Princess Baozhu, and Princess Sakura came on the stage one by one to defend themselves, and they all answered like a stream, which made the prince extremely happy.

"The right people to answer are all my Zhou Dynasty princes, princesses, noble children, now, my Great Zhou dominates the world, Huairou all over the world, there are also the heirs of the Fang country here, the children of other races, since they have lived in the palace, everyone is a family, which female hero, can come forward to try?" The prince took the test for a long time, but he didn't see an eyebrow, and now, he simply explained that the princes and princesses of other countries or tribes who lived in the royal city and have now returned to the Zhou Dynasty answered the questions.

"Wu Mu Nu is not talented, I am willing to give it a try." Wu Mu Nu had already prepared, just waiting for the prince's words. She took a step forward, Ying Ying saluted the prince, lightly lifted her lips, and replied.

"Good!" The crown prince recited a full mouth of promise.

Wu Mu Nu's slender waist and no makeup, peach pink clothes, hanging hair, and fair skin, this appearance made the princes and sons on the field suddenly brighten their eyes.

"Celebrants, practitioners. Those who worship are respected, those who are worshipped are pro, those who are worshiped are prosperous, those who are worshipped are prosperous, and I am a great Zhou etiquette for all people......"

Wu Mu Nu is so articulate, not only does she analyze the "etiquette" thoroughly, but in front of everyone, she actually says "I Da Zhou", she is really a master who sees the wind and makes the rudder, climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix. There were also many children of the king of Xuan present, Princess Tange, Prince Bizheng, Wu Yiding, and Wu Gengying, all of whom were unhappy when they heard it.

"Good! Wooden Girl Sister, Wooden Girl Sister! When Wu Mu Nu took a deep look, and before the prince could speak, Yao Gou shouted "Okay", and only then did she realize that she was speechless, and quickly covered her mouth and sat down.

"Well, I never thought that there are such beautiful people among the nations, your name?" The crown prince Ji Yu had actually watched Wumu Nu several times, and looked her up and down in his heart I don't know how many times, but unfortunately, no, she wasn't! The size and posture are similar, except for the eyes.

The eyes that the prince remembered the most were as clear and clear as the stars in the sky that could speak. Not only the eyes, but also the breath, no, aura, yes, it's an aura. In this martial arts girl, she can't reflect the calm and heroic aura of "Long'er". Therefore, the prince listened to her argument and only asked lightly.

"In Xia Wu Mu Nu, thank you for the prince's advice." When Wu Mu Nu saw that the prince asked about her name, her joy overflowed her whole body, and she gave a gift and replied softly. The prince motioned to retreat, and she slowly retreated.

"My maiden in the court, but who else can speak eloquently?" The prince listened to the arguments of several princesses of the small clan in a row, but he never came to know who "Long'er" was.

"Sister Dingding, why don't you answer, what are you doing hiding behind?" Seeing that the examination was coming to an end, Wu Yiding hadn't gone up to defend yet, he looked back and shouted loudly at Wu Yiding.

Xiao Gou's voice was loud, and at this time, when the song was almost over, everyone had no topic to talk about, and they were all looking at Wu Yiding.

"Iโ€”I." Wu Yi was in the back row of the seat, she firmly remembered Aunt Youxi's words, the best way to protect herself is to hide, this test, if you can not argue, try not to argue. So, a few hours have passed, and she has been listening quietly, and, this prince? She has seen it many times in her heart, but she has denied it many times, it is impossible, the dark shadow of that night can never be the prince.

At this time, everyone looked at her, and she only said two "I" words, and she didn't know what to do.

"Brother Prince, this female concubine was originally homeless and lived in our palace, and she couldn't answer anything if she thought about it, so why waste time? People don't want to argue, they must be self-aware. Princess Ying'er grabbed the white and looked at Wu Yiding several times with disdain.

"No, Brother Prince, she, she's powerful, and she's a good learner!" Princess Wanwan spoke, maybe it was Princess Ruiduo who told her that Wu Yi was scheduled to save Yao Gou by the embroidered lotus pond that day, and Princess Wan Wan recognized Wu Yiding, so she spoke for her.

"Okay, what's your name? Come and give it a try! When the prince heard Wanwan say "she is powerful", his heart was shocked, but he was silent on the surface, and Wen Yan let Wu Yiding enter.

Under such circumstances, it is no longer good for Wu Yiding to excuse himself. What's more, when it comes to "etiquette", she has memorized it at the age of three, and her six-year-old mother has cracked the meaning for her.

Wu Yiding walked lightly, fell and was generous, respectfully bowed to the prince, and saluted everyone, and then talked about it smoothly: "The great success of the ceremony, loyal to the people, kind to the country, and reunited with brothers and sisters." Wu Yiding's voice is crisp, not high, not low, neither humble nor arrogant, the content is reasonable and well-founded, quoting scriptures, this answer actually compared many princes and princesses in front of him.

And at this time, the one who stared intently at Wu Yiding was the crown prince Ji Chanting.

When Wu Yiding first came on the field, the prince didn't pay much attention to this girl with dark clothes and thin clothes. Gradually, he found that when Wu Yiding was replying, the corners of his mouth were always inadvertently upturned, this subtle movement, coupled with her eyes, she stood there, a towering figure, a calm and unhurried bearing, the prince almost wanted to step forward, right! Smell the fragrance of her hair. However, this is too impossible, as a prince, if he makes such a move, it must be disgraceful, but how can he confirm that she is "Long'er"?

"The little girl is not talented, please teach the prince." When Wu Yiding replied, he only bowed his head slightly respectfully and looked at the ground, but he didn't look at the prince. She was worried, worried that if the person in front of her was the person who competed with the sword that day, what if she was in a panic and said something wrong? Therefore, after Wu Yiding finished answering, he didn't raise his eyelids, and he rubbed it to the end.

"Good, very good! Very good! Women don't let the eyebrows be bearded, I have good talents in Da Zhou, which is really lucky. The prince saw that Wu Yiding bowed down, hurriedly replied, and stood up, wanting to get off the seat, Li Shishi on the side looked at the prince, coughed, reminded the prince, the prince said, rolled up his sleeves, and let Wu Yiding return to his seat.

Princess Sakura originally wanted to make Wu Yiding ugly, so she belittled her in front of everyone, but who knew that Wu Yiding would answer so well, Princess Sakura snorted coldly, and the expression on her face was extremely ugly.

The "ceremony" of the micro-hall debate ended in the morning, and the four masters listed the roster and rankings of the examination, Wu Yiding won the first place among many female students, and the prince had reported the names of the outstanding ones to the "Confusion Division" of the Inner Dynasty. King Wu of Zhou decreed that the top five in the family study test were all given special favors, and they entered the palace on the winter solstice to perform skills, and rewarded them with wealth and winter clothes, rice, oil, money and grain, and the corner courtyard was very happy.

As soon as Wu Yiding returned to the corner courtyard, the reward had arrived, and Wu Mu Nu snorted coldly, slammed the door and went back to the house. Aunt Youxi didn't know whether to be happy or worried for a while.

The snow kept falling, and the cold wind was tightening day by day.
