"I didn't expect Miss Xie that you are really hidden, and you can still have a relationship with Mr. Qin Yan" The county lord of Jingning raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Yaoguang who was smiling: "How many secrets do you still hide?"

Xie Yaoguang seemed to have not heard it, and his eyes were sharp. She and Qin Yan actually don't have much friendship between master and apprentice, because she has a token on her body, she had come to the door to look for Qin Yan a few years ago, and she easily passed the exam of Jixia Academy. Truthfully told Qin Yan his true identity and begged him to accept him as a disciple, Qin Yan agreed to accept her as an apprentice with nostalgia for the old man, and then arranged everything for her in the academy. Speaking of which, she still owes Qin Yan a favor, but I don't know if she has the opportunity to repay it.

At the banquet, the singing and dancing were leveled, but the internal extension was in turmoil.

An attendant hurriedly entered the side hall and whispered to Zhang Ke's side, Zhang Ke's face changed, and he hurriedly reported the matter to Emperor Li. When Emperor Li heard this, his face turned grim, and he immediately stopped the music and dance.

Just as he was sending someone to look for it, there was a sudden sound of an internal attendant outside the hall.

"Princess Kyung-hee arrives"

Xie Yaoguang's face relaxed slightly, raised his eyes and pulled his lips slightly at the palace maid on the side, and when his eyes slidied, the other party slightly bowed, knowing that the plan had been achieved, and turned to look at Princess Jingxi who was slowly coming.

Emperor Li originally wanted to scold Princess Jingxi for a few words, and when he saw his favorite little daughter return safe and sound, he smiled a little and said, "Jingxi, aren't you muttering that you want to come to the banquet?" Why is it so late?"

Princess Jingxi raised her eyebrows, her face was gloomy, and after saluting, she said sullenly: "Father forgives the sin, and the son is greedy for a while when he looks at a flower blooming on the way here...... As a result, I suddenly became dizzy and my head was swollen accidentally."

"You're just playful, but why are you unhappy, isn't someone provoking you? And what happened by accident? ”

Princess Jingxi took a deep breath, wrinkled her brows and said, "I accidentally fell into the pit, fortunately...... A child came out of the rescue. If he saves me, I'll leave," he quickly glanced at Emperor Li, and said slowly: "Erchen saw that the kid had a yellow face and thin muscles...... I was born with a strange and pitiful curiosity and followed him all the way, only to find out that it was a child from the Prison Prison."

Xie Yaoguang raised his eyes and looked at Ye Linchen with a deep head, signaling him to be calm and not to be impatient.

"Nonsense! What kind of place is the court prison, how can you be a dignified princess to go to this kind of place, why don't you sit down quickly" Emperor Li reprimanded with displeasure: "Those criminal slaves save you a princess, it is a matter of course, why should you worry about them"

"But my father...... The children in there were so pitiful that they couldn't bear it. The sons know that you are a benevolent king, diligent and loving the people. Erchen dared to beg his father to reward the child who saved Erchen and forgive him for his guilt," Princess Jingxi looked at the solemn Emperor Li and bit her lip and whispered.

"Okay, Zhang Ke sent someone to find the child who saved the princess" Emperor Li thought for a while and said coldly: "Give him a change of clean clothes and come back"

Hearing Emperor Li say this, Princess Jingxi looked happy, thanked Emperor Li and sat down with joy on her face. Xie Yaoguang looked at the scene of the father and daughter's filial piety in front of him, slightly pulled his lips, and really loved Princess Jingxi and Emperor Li very much.

At the end of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Fang Yuxuan standing up from the Xidi delegation and arching his hand towards Emperor Li: "I heard that the Great Calendar is an outstanding person, and there must be a lot of talent above the government and the opposition. Fang Mou didn't want to ask the sages here for advice."

Emperor Li smiled: "Since Fang Zhuangyuan has this heart" looked at Xie Yaoguang with a smile and said slowly: "Xie Qing might as well let you compete with him"

Xie Yaoguang Shi Ran, who was named, stood up and bowed, with a frown: "Please also ask Gongzi Fang to teach"

Fang Yuxuan didn't expect that Dali would choose a woman to compete with him for literary talent, and he was disdainful. In his eyes, a woman should abide by the way of a woman, being a woman is a woman's life, and marrying is to conform to the way of heaven, if not, it is against the way of heaven and should be pointed out by thousands of husbands. A woman's lack of talent is virtue, Sidi Ke has never been a woman who has been involved in government affairs, and it is enough for a woman in Sidi to be obedient and obedient and take care of housework. The selection of a woman to come out and discuss knowledge with a scholar in the Great Calendar is simply humiliating him.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to choose another smart one" Fang Yuxuan reprimanded with a hesitant face: "As a woman, it is really shameless to show up. is also delusional to discuss knowledge with others in the court, which is simply ridiculous. Dare to ask Your Majesty the calendar, is this no one! ”

Xie Yaoguang raised his hand and clapped his hands when he heard this, and smiled: "Fang Gongzi's words are really interesting, what about women?"

"Fang's teacher is trained, and a woman's lack of talent is virtue. It's even more shameful to talk about learning with women! ”

"Ridiculous! I don't mind men and women in the selection of talents in the calendar, there are heroes among women like the lord of Jingning County in this dynasty, and there are talented women like Gu Yushi" The prince saw that Fang Yuxuan looked down on Xie Yaoguang, and couldn't help but reprimand: "You look down on women like this, don't you take the lord of Jingning County in your eyes"

"I'm just adhering to the teacher's legacy! I have never looked down on the county lord," Fang Yuxuan retorted loudly.

Just listening to Fang Yuxuan's words, Xie Yaoguang could imagine what kind of face his master had when he said this. Narrowing his eyes to hide the sarcasm in his eyes, he was stunned.

"What Fang Gongzi said, it's not uncommon for a woman to enter the ranks of my calendar" Xie Yaoguang raised his eyebrows and sneered: "On the contrary, you keep saying that you look down on women, how can you be afraid that women are more capable than you?"

"If you talk nonsense, how can I be afraid, but the teacher's order cannot be violated," Fang Yuxuan's face changed, and he suppressed the anger in his heart and reprimanded.

Xie Yaoguang hooked his lips and looked away, disdainful of argument.

"It seems that Fang Gongzi doesn't know that our Miss Xie also studied under a famous teacher, and she is also the chief examiner of this literary exam," King Shou saw Xie Yaoguang stop arguing, and smiled slightly because of the prince's words just now: "In this comparison, Fang Gongzi, you don't know how to be flexible, and you can't eat the ancients."

Fang Yuxuan snorted coldly and stopped speaking, no matter how angry he was at the moment, he didn't dare to vent. After all, it is now in the territory of the Great Calendar, and it is not good for the Great Calendar to offend the Great Calendar and himself. At this moment, the waiter led a boy in Tsing Yi into the main hall, Xie Yaoguang raised his eyes, swept Fang Yuxuan at the end of his eyes, and then fell on the boy in Tsing Yi and hooked his lips slightly.

"Your Majesty is this little boy who saved Her Royal Highness the Princess"

The boy in Tsing Yi bowed to Emperor Li with a restrained face. Ye Linchen had been staring at the boy in Tsing Yi since he came in, until the boy in Tsing Yi raised his head, he breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, it was Ting Liao, raised his eyes to look at Xie Yaoguang, and saw that the other party was biting into the pastry, especially wanton, and couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he clenched the wine cup on the table in order to suppress the impatience in his heart.

"Raise your head, what's your name and which one is it" Emperor Li stared at Ting Liao with sharp eyes.

"Sin Slave...... The sin slave is the grandson of Yue Quanhuai of the Hanlin Academy, and he was convicted of embezzlement of ink," Ting Liao replied in a low voice.

"Well, I heard that you saved Princess Jingxi? Where are you saved?"

"Your Majesty...... The slave of sin is in ...... Leaving the Prison ...... Not far away...... Rescued the princess in a ruined palace" Ting Liao's face was pale, kneeling on the ground and curling up.

Xie Yaoguang sighed lightly, and his eyes covered the regret in his eyes. This child has suffered so much...... But fortunately, these hardships did not make him succumb, but made him more and more determined, which is good, at least it did not bury the heart and bones that he should have.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has an idea" Xie Yaoguang got up and arched his hand towards Emperor Li and said, "Since Fang Yuxuan doesn't want Yu Chen to compete, it's better to let this kid come."

"What do you mean? This kid takes your place?"

"Yes, isn't this kid the grandson of Academician Hanlin? Thinking about it, he is also a bit literate, Wei Chen thought that if Wei Chen could give a little guidance, he might be able to compete with Fang Gongzi" Xie Yaoguang raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Yuxuan defiantly, with a sneer in his eyes.

Fang Yuxuan is arrogant and arrogant, and never disdains to talk to people with worse qualifications than him, and the teachings he said are all true, and his teachers really look down on women. As for Fang Yuxuan's own background, it is indeed the biggest criticism of the Xidi Fang family. If it weren't for the fact that this envoy really needed a talent who could be of great use, how could he be chosen.

Emperor Li stroked his beard when he heard Xie Yaoguang's idea, and said with a smile: "Since Xie Qing is so confident, how can I refuse." Fang Yuxuan, can you agree? ”

Fang Yuxuan glared at Xie Yaoguang, and snorted secretly. This woman was so vicious that she came up with such an idea to force herself, and if she refused her proposal, she would be telling them that she was running away. Even if he agrees and wins, he will inevitably say that he will not win, and if he loses, he will lose face to Sidi.

"Fang Yuxuan is willing to compete with her, and I hope this girl won't play any tricks to ruin the reputation of our scholars."

"That's nature," Xie Yaoguang smiled slightly.

"Okay, let's try it in five days. If Xie Qing wins, I will be rewarded."

"If Your Majesty's ministers win, can you ask Your Majesty for a favor?"

"Father and Emperor Yierchen see that instead of rewarding this child, it is better to forgive him for his guilt and let him out of the palace, and Erchen thinks that this is the greatest reward for this child," Princess Jingxi suddenly interjected.

"I didn't expect the princess to be so benevolent, since the princess has opened her mouth, it doesn't matter what the grace Weichen wants"

Emperor Li saw that the envoy of Xidi was already so angry at this moment, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and because his most beloved little daughter was too sympathetic to this criminal slave today, in order to make her happy and to show his benevolence, he didn't think much about it, and nodded and agreed: "Since you have spoken, I will let him out of the palace according to you to exempt him from hard labor."

Princess Jingxi's face showed joy: "Thank you, father!"

After three rounds of drinking, Emperor Li was also tired, so he announced the end of the banquet, and he drove back to the palace with the support of Princess Jingxi. After sending Emperor Li away, the rest of the cadres also left one by one.

The crown prince and King Shou also walked towards Xie Yaoguang together at this time, both with indignation and surprise on their faces. seemed to be angry at Fang Yuxuan's disdain for Xie Yaoguang, and seemed to be surprised by what she had just said.

Xie Yaoguang's eyes caught a glimpse of Ye Linchen's back as he left, and sighed slightly, and then smiled and said to the crown prince and King Shou: "Although the two highnesses can rest assured, if Yaoguang does not have confidence, he will naturally not come up with such an idea."

King Shou laughed loudly when he heard this: "If Miss Xie has any use for this king's place, even if she sends someone, this king will do her best."

The crown prince glanced at King Shou and sneered. Hypocrisy, true hypocrisy. King Shou continued to smile and look at Xie Yaoguang as if he hadn't heard it.

Xie Yaoguang bowed to the two of them and said, "Two highnesses, it's not too early, Yaoguang will retire first."

Xie Yaoguang took Ting Liao and walked out slowly. Looking at the carriage parked at the door, Xie Yaoguang's lips flashed with a helpless smile. As soon as he got into the carriage, Xie Yaoguang instructed the coachman to drive the carriage to the Xingxing Lanyue Building on West Street, and the carriage drove out of the imperial city leisurely. At this moment, Xie Yaoguang in the carriage looked at the person holding his right hand, and pursed his thin lips slightly.
