The finals begin.

There are 16 contestants from Zhilan Academy and 22 contestants from Linfeng Academy.

When the two sides met under the Yanyu attic, Xiao Qiongzhi unexpectedly discovered that Xiao Jinjia and Xiao Jinjia were actually listed.

Looking at the list of contestants in the two competitions, Xiao Jinjia is actually the only student from Linfeng Academy who is qualified to participate in the three types of competitions: ancient style, quatrain, and legal poetry.

Even Prince Yi only participated in the quatrain and the poem, while Prince Xuan was directly on the list.

That's weird.

Xiao Jinjia doesn't like to write poetry at all, he didn't put much effort into it, and his poetry level is not in the stream, how can he suddenly be so powerful?

Could it be that he is also like himself, temporarily clinging to Buddha's feet, gaining enlightenment, and having a big breakthrough?

Xiao Qiongzhi was very curious, and after the speeches of the deans of the two academies and before the game was about to start, he specially slipped to the seat of Linfeng Academy to find Xiao Jinjia.

Prince Yi sat next to Xiao Jinjia and discovered her before Xiao Jinjia.

He was wearing a light blue narrow-sleeved long coat woven with gold brocade today, which made his originally long figure look even more long.

The white and handsome face and delicate facial features are still so pleasing to the eye.

In particular, a pair of slightly raised peach blossom eyes are not only as mellow and intoxicating as his daughter's red, but also with a little expectation and smile when he greets her with his chin head, which is very magnificent and charming.

Xiao Qiongzhi subconsciously looked at it a few more times before smiling politely.

At this time, Xiao Jinjia also noticed Xiao Qiongzhi.

As if he had expected her to be curious, he took her aside, lowered his voice, and asked with his eyebrows: "Zhi'er, do you want to ask me about my poems, how can you pass the preliminary round?" ”

Xiao Qiongzhi nodded heavily.

Xiao Jinjia grinned: "Because Prince Xuan helped me get the topic of the preliminary competition in advance, and also asked his military advisor to help me correct it in advance, the poem I made for participating in the preliminary competition." ”

"Huh? Then why did he help you, but he didn't participate in the preliminary round himself? Xiao Qiongzhi was puzzled.

Xiao Jinjia said regretfully: "I didn't expect him to not participate in the preliminary round, and then I heard the little guy next to him say that this was the request of his fiancée Du Qianqian, I was afraid that he would be too showy and would attract the covetousness of some ignorant nobles." ”

It turns out that Du Qianqian is Prince Xuan's fiancée?

Xiao Qiongzhi's mind instantly appeared in the scene of Xiao Jinjia and Prince Xuan sending him to school at the beginning of the month, and he suspected that Du Qianqian might have asked for this.

After all, Tan Hui was right with Liao Shuangshuang and Liao at that time, and they quarreled with themselves about this matter, and later even made trouble in front of their grandfather Xiao Xuanliang, and everyone in the entire Zhilan Academy knew about it.

Xiao Jinjia seemed to think of something all of a sudden.

Her eyes lit up, and she said, "By the way, that little guy also said that Du Qianqian went to your Zhilan Academy as a transfer student last month under the arrangement of Grandpa Tai. ”

"When I just looked at the ranking of the participating students in your academy, her name was ranked behind you, do you know her?"

Xiao Qiongzhi shook her head: "I don't know, but I read the poetry she wrote yesterday, and I appreciate the talent and sincerity revealed in her poems." ”

"What are you writing about?" Xiao Jinjia was curious.

Xiao Qiongzhi then memorized Du Qianqian's poem to Xiao Jinjia.

Xiao Jinjia was taken aback: "This Du Qianqian is too bold!" actually wrote directly about her experience of thinking about a man! Who do you want to seduce when you write this kind of content in the participating poems? ”

"I really didn't expect that Du Lingzuo, who is known for his deep family history and the dignified prime minister of the Southern Qi Kingdom, would have a granddaughter like Du Qianqian, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, and a fiancée like her, I'm afraid that it will be difficult!"

"What's so hard to do? Jin Jia, what are you talking about with Zhi'er? Bai Weiqi suddenly interjected and asked.

He was sitting not far behind Xiao Jinjia, and when Xiao Qiongzhi came to look for Xiao Jinjia, he noticed him, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly follow him quietly.

She didn't like his self-familiar style, pretended not to hear his question, and only stared at Xiao Jinjia and ignored him.

Xiao Jinjia was much more direct, and immediately straightened his face and reprimanded him coldly: "Bai Weiqi, what did our brother and sister say, should you, an outsider, know?" ”

"If I have to be considered an outsider, what about Prince Xuan?" Bai Weiqi had long been accustomed to it, and was treated coldly by Xiao Jinjia, so she stretched out her hand without changing her face and pointed to the big tree behind Xiao Jinjia and Xiao Qiongzhi.

Xiao Qiongzhi looked up and found that Prince Xuan was actually sitting on the tree!

He was dressed in a golden brocade robe, and sat on a large branch about the thickness of the mouth of the bowl.

I hold a few pens in my left hand and a piece of paper in my right hand, and there are traces of painting on the paper.

However, his pair of Danfeng eyes, which were as mysterious and clear as stars in the night sky, stared at Xiao Qiongzhi with a smile, as if he wanted to see through her heart.

However, although it is indeed not a good habit for him to criticize other people's fiancées behind his back, it is not a good habit for him to hide in a tree and eavesdrop on himself and talk to Xiao Jinjia.

What's more, the person who criticized his fiancée was Xiao Jinjia, not himself.

Xiao Qiongzhi remembers that she just praised Du Qianqian's "talent and sincere feelings revealed in the poem are very appreciative to me".

She was not weak at all, but she was a little worried that Xiao Jinjia would be too embarrassed.

She looked at Xiao Jinjia, deliberately sneered and said, "Radish greens, each has his own love, and the so-called one time is also, that time is also." ”

"Brother, you like well-behaved girls now, you think that everyone in the world likes well-behaved girls, and you will still like well-behaved girls in the future?"

"I don't believe it! I'd like to see if you'll change your taste in three, five, or ten years! ”

Xiao Jinjia understood that she was taking the opportunity to relieve herself, and hurriedly answered: "What Zhi'er said is very right, emotional matters really can't be generalized. ”

"I'm confused, now it's about to start, let's go back to our seats and get ready."

"Hmm." Xiao Qiongzhi nodded obediently, turned around and left.

Prince Xuan suddenly jumped down from the tree, blocked her way, and handed her the paper in his hand to show her: "Lord Sanqi, look, my painting doesn't look like you?" ”

The painting shows a parrot standing on a branch.

It has white and blue spots on its forehead and face, and a brownish-yellow beak.

The neck and waist-length area are wavy stripes of yellow and violet-blue.

The abdomen is orange, the waist and lower body are green, the throat has small reddish-brown spots, the tail feathers are thick and long, the green is blue, and the feet are blue and blue, which looks beautiful.

However, the most dazzling skill of a parrot is to learn the tongue, not to be pretty.

Xiao Qiongzhi understood that Prince Xuan was sarcastically talking about himself, and replied with a straight face: "It's not." It's a little bit like someone who is eavesdropping on other people's conversations. ”

"Then we'll let it judge itself." Prince Xuan seemed to have expected her to answer like this, and after speaking, he whistled.

From the tree where he had just jumped, a parrot flew and landed on his shoulder, the image of which was exactly the same as the parrot in his painting.

It seems that he has been staying here for a long time and drawing for the parrot, and he did not come to eavesdrop and talk to Xiao Jinjia himself.

Xiao Qiongzhi corrected his mistake and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, you should have come here one step earlier than me and my brother, not to overhear our conversation." ”

"It's good to understand." What Prince Xuan wanted was her words, and he immediately got out of the way.

Xiao Jinjia, who was on the side, took the opportunity to come up, looked at the parrot on Prince Xuan's shoulder, and asked curiously, "Is the injury on the head of your parrot healed?" ”
