"I'm sorry, Dean Qiu, our brothers and sisters in the Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy have misunderstood you, please forgive me!" After Yu Qiushuang received Xiao Qiongzhi's hint, she immediately looked at Qiu Qitong with a look of shame, and said in a crisp voice.

"It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty. In fact, I don't know, it turned out that inviting Mr. Zheng, Mr. Nie, and Mr. Xu to comment on the poems was actually the intention of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"No wonder a few days ago, when I was listening to songs in Dianzhu Tower, where we often go to Daxiao Mingru, I happened to meet Mr. Zheng and Mr. Xu, who used to go there to listen to songs." Qiu Qitong said with some excitement.

He originally thought that Zheng Yuan, Nie Zhengrong, and Xu Shizhong would return to Chu and Liang after the poetry competition, but now it seems that they will all stay until March next year before leaving.

This means that he still has half a year to ask them some academic questions, which is great.

"Dean Qiu, it seems that I misunderstood you just now, I'm sorry." After Ni Yunxiu finished saying what Qiu Qitong said, like Yu Qiushuang, she looked at Qiu Qitong with a ashamed expression, and said in a crisp voice.

"I'm sorry ......"

……

Next, almost all the people who had just fallen Qiu Qitong apologized to Qiu Qitong one by one, only Prince Kun stubbornly did not apologize.

On the contrary, he walked up to Xiao Xuanliang and deliberately said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, even if we have a misunderstanding with Dean Qiu on the matter of inviting Mr. Nie and Mr. Xu, the key reason for this incident is that Dean Qiu blatantly broke the rules and shielded Mr. Xu and Liang Qiu's stupid behavior. ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to Xiao Jinjia and carefully told Xiao Xuanliang about the fact that Xiao Jinjia sent the secret guard to grab the shuttlecock thrown by Qiu Qi according to the rules of the guess.

After Xiao Xuanliang listened, his face immediately tightened.

He looked at Xiao Jinjia, who had followed Xiao Qiongzhi closely behind him and came to greet him when Xiao Qiongzhi stepped forward to greet him, and asked in a deep voice: "Jinjia, did you really send a secret guard to snatch the shuttlecock with someone, just to have a chance to get the so-called suspected immortal and give it to Zhi'er?" ”

"Yes, Grandpa." Xiao Jinjia blushed and nodded a little wryly.

There is an unwritten tradition in the entire Lanling Xiao family, that is, the sons and daughters of the Xiao family are not allowed to talk in public, fight bravely, and be jealous.

But for the women of the Xiao family, there is no such rule, and they have always been spoiled and pampered.

Because the Xiao family has not only been prosperous for generations, but also has a rare breed of daughters; Moreover, every three or five generations, one or two talented girls can appear, cooperate with men, and carry forward the Xiao family.

This time, he knew that Prince Xuan, Prince Qiu, Prince Kun and others also wanted to get the shuttlecock, and he also arranged for the secret guards to grab the shuttlecock, according to the rules of the Xiao family in Lanling, it was also a kind of fighting for courage and ruthlessness.

"Do you know how your aunt got the gift of Qi Lu from Zhi'er?" Xiao Xuanliang glanced at Xiao Jinjia with some disappointment and asked again.

Xiao Jinjia shook his head.

No one had ever told him about it, and he didn't know about it.

Xiao Xuanliang was a little mistaken, and then, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Xiao Jinjia with a gentle expression: "In this case, you go to your aunt now and ask her how she got it." ”

"Yes." Xiao Jinjia hurriedly said.

He could see that Xiao Xuanliang was very satisfied with the Qi Xuan ceremony prepared by Xiao Mingzhu for Xiao Qiongzhi.

In fact, although Xiao Mingzhu usually behaves as a person, he is a little arrogant, especially when he treats him, he always looks the other way - not the exceptionally good kind of other eye, but the exceptionally bad kind of other eye.

However, even he had to admit that every time Xiao Mingzhu took out a gift, there was nothing unsatisfactory.

Xiao Xuanliang asked him to go to Xiao Mingzhu to learn how to give gifts, which can be regarded as finding the right person.

In the past, he was always looked down upon by Xiao Mingzhu because of his background, and when he saw Xiao Mingzhu, he walked around as much as possible, so as not to be taught a lesson by Xiao Mingzhu, even if he admired Xiao Mingzhu's taste and vision in gift-giving, he didn't dare to ask Xiao Mingzhu for advice.

Now, with Xiao Xuanliang's instructions, he can certainly ask Xiao Mingzhu for advice in a high-sounding manner, but he has to worry about the bad treatment that Xiao Mingzhu may face.

He hesitated, looked at Xiao Qiongzhi, and asked with a smile, "Zhi'er, can you accompany me to see my aunt?" ”

"Zhi'er can't go, she still has the prize essentials of the poetry competition, don't you know? Go by yourself! Xiao Xuanliang didn't wait for Xiao Qiongzhi to answer, so he categorically rejected Xiao Jinjia's request for Xiao Qiongzhi.

Xiao Jinjia had no choice but to leave alone.

Xiao Qiongzhi was also helpless.

Actually, she is willing to accompany Xiao Jinjia to see Xiao Mingzhu, after all, now that her relationship with Xiao Mingzhu has been good, if she accompanies Xiao Jinjia to go over, she can avoid Xiao Jinjia being wronged by Xiao Mingzhu.

However, Xiao Xuanliang has already made a decision for her in public, according to the rules, as a junior, she can't contradict it, she can only accept it, not to mention, Xiao Xuanliang's decision is also for her good.

As the three first-place winners of the poetry competition's second-grade group, ancient style, quatrain, and rhythmic poetry, if she was already at the award ceremony and stayed until the last moment of the award, and suddenly left, it would be disrespectful to the competition and disrespect to the judges.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, if you let Senior Brother Jin Jia leave, does it mean that you have accepted Dean Qiu's behavior of shielding Mr. Xu and breaking the rules of the quiz?" At the same time, Prince Kun saw that Xiao Xuanliang had broken Xiao Jinjia, and he was very unconvinced, so he deliberately asked loudly.

Xiao Xuanliang didn't like Prince Kun's aggressive and self-righteous appearance.

He deliberately did not answer Prince Kun's question, but looked at Qiu Qitong and asked loudly: "Dean Qiu, before you started the quiz, did you announce in public that only the students and ordinary people who were watching from His Excellency Yanyu could participate in this quiz?" ”

"Nope." Qiu Qitong hurriedly shook his head.

"Xu Shizhong is just a judge, not the initiator and host of this poetry contest, and you, as the initiator and host, do not stipulate that they cannot participate in the quiz activity, so Xu Shizhong's behavior of snatching the shuttlecock in the hands of the golden armor secret guard is not a violation." Xiao Xuanliang immediately made a decision.

"Even if that's the case, however, all of us can see that Brother Jin Jia wants to grab the shuttlecock and participate in the competition, and the ultimate goal is to have a chance to win a suspected immortal object and give it to Zhi'er."

"And Xu Shizhong deliberately supported Prince Qiu and went against Brother Jin Jia, which is always disrespectful to the Great Xiao Family, right?" Prince Kun said unconvinced.

This is the last chance to win nine immortal objects, although he himself did not grab the shuttlecock, but Xiao Jinjia is Xiao Qiongzhi's brother, and he supports Xiao Jinjia to grab the shuttlecock, which is enough to express his heart for Xiao Qiongzhi.

What's more, Xu Shizhong, Prince Qiu, and Qiu Qi were so blatantly complicit, which really made him feel angry, and he was unwilling to let them learn a lesson.
