In fact, Jun Buyu also knows a little about the various legends of the inner courtyard, but after all, he is His Royal Highness the Prince, his status is noble, and he is involved in the important task of inheriting the country in the future, in order to ensure his safety, he rarely has the opportunity to leave the palace, so naturally he will not have the opportunity to participate in such a competition.

Because he was born in Yanjia Village since he was a child, and experienced a fifteen-year ice period in the ruins of Liansheng Kingdom, not long after he returned to the palace, his mother Nalan Qiqing passed away.

After that, he was heartbroken, and he traveled alone away from the imperial city for a year, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only heard about many things about the imperial city and the city, and did not personally experience it.

This also caused him to not be familiar with the annual special competition in the inner courtyard of the Xiangji Temple, if it weren't for following those fake scholars here, he would have almost forgotten that this inner courtyard was actually related to the blind mother-in-law.

However, to be honest, Jun Buyu is not interested in this so-called competition, and he doesn't want to participate in any competition, after all, his identity is sensitive, and his words and deeds represent the royal face, and there is no room for mistakes.

Therefore, if he participates as His Royal Highness the Prince, it will inevitably make the other contestants feel a lot of pressure, just ask who dares to beat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come out on top!

It's like the ministers who have always played chess with the saints, and they never dared to win, for fear of angering the saints for a while and causing death.

Then there is the unpredictable power of heaven, maybe that unintentional word, or a bland move, will be different depending on the mood of the saint at that time.

If the saint is in a good mood, then everything is fine, just playing chess. If the saint is in a bad mood, he may feel that there is a murderous motive hidden in the chessboard, and with someone with a heart to fan the flames, he may become a chaotic minister and thief, and eventually become a head to the ground.

As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and there is still a certain truth to it.

And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince happens to be the future saint, if he participates in his real identity, others will not dare to sign up at all, or even if he participates, he will not dare to play his true level, because in case His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is an extremely face-loving person, if anyone wins His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and makes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lose face, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to offending His Royal Highness the Prince, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Second, the people who hold this tournament will also feel a lot of pressure, and if they take care of the royal face everywhere, they will inevitably lose the fairness of the competition. But if there is fair competition, in case His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loses, maybe this organizer should be unlucky.

Jun Buyu also knows this reason, so even if he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he has not experienced the process of fifteen years of ice, he will not publicly participate in such a competition.

Although Jun Buyu is not interested in the competition, he is very interested in the legendary figure of the blind mother-in-law.

In particular, it is rumored that the blind mother-in-law is well-informed, and the questions she answers are often to the point, which benefits those who hear her answers.

Jun Buyu naturally wants to listen to the blind mother-in-law's golden and jade words with his own ears.

This is also the reason why he returned from his travels and did not enter the palace for the first time, but came to this and Ti City.

Originally, he wanted to find out what kind of gift the blind woman liked, and then find a way to prepare a gift that would make the blind woman guarantee satisfaction, and then ask her about the troubles that had plagued him for many years.

It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and he hasn't had time to find out what gifts the blind mother-in-law likes, just because of a few suspicious swordsmen, in Nanguan

In the restaurant of the city that never sleeps in the center of the market, after confusing all the guests by telling the legend of the blind mother-in-law, he waited for the opportunity to steal the identity certificates of several scholars and infiltrated the inner courtyard of Xiangji Temple.

For these men who are swordsmen for a while and scholars for a while, Jun Buyu doesn't have a good impression.

I always felt that they must have entered the inner courtyard of Xiangji Temple with an ulterior motive.

Besides, the inner courtyard of Xiangji Temple belongs to the royal temple, how can you stand by and let those men with evil intentions do anything wrong in it?

Of course, maintaining the safety of the inner courtyard of Xiangji Temple is one aspect, and Jun Buyu also wants to take the opportunity to learn more about what kind of event the blind mother-in-law holds every year.

Although he can't show up to participate, it should be a very interesting thing to hide in the dark and enjoy it, maybe it can be an eye-opener?

With this thought, after Jun Buyu transformed into a black-tailed leafhopper, he unknowingly entered the inner courtyard of Xiangji Temple.

When he walked in the inner courtyard and quietly followed a few fake scholars who had just entered the inner courtyard, he also enjoyed the scenery of the inner courtyard by the way.

When he saw that the entire inner courtyard was spotless and showed a very Zen beauty everywhere, Jun Buyu couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

This is more beautiful than what he had seen in the palace scripture pavilion, and the artistic conception on the calligraphy and painting works of Xiangji Temple was more beautiful, more intriguing, and thought-provoking.

Walking, walking, you don't have the illusion that after getting used to seeing the extremely luxurious beauty in the palace, you suddenly feel that the real beauty is actually as simple as possible.

Instead of the so-called luxurious beauty of many aesthetic things piled up, that kind of beauty is dazzling and breathtaking at first glance.

But it can't stand the scrutiny of time at all, and it will soon make people tired of new life and become dull.

And only the scenery in the inner courtyard of this Xiangji Temple, even the most ordinary grass and trees are full of Zen and evocative.

Maybe I don't think there's anything special at first glance, but the more I walk in it, the more I feel the taste, and it seems that many of the doubts that have plagued me for many years will have a feeling of sudden enlightenment, which is very fascinating and unforgettable.

As Jun Buyu followed those fake scholars to the depths of the inner courtyard of Xiangji Temple, he also saw more and more scholars along the way, and obviously all the people who participated in this competition this year were scholars.

In Jun Buyu's impression, the competitions held in the inner courtyard of Xiangji Temple in the past covered almost every type of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but no matter how different they were, they all belonged to literary fighting and refused to fight.

Obviously, it is also to avoid bloody bloodshed in this holy place of Buddhism.

However, Jun Buyu has also heard that no matter what type of competition, the people invited by the blind mother-in-law are relatively simple, usually either men or women.

There has never been a scene of men and women participating in a competition together, so Jun Buyu knows that in this year's inner courtyard, since all he has seen so far are scholars, it should be all men.

"When Dangdang ......" was when Jun Buyu casually recalled the inner courtyard competition of Xiangji Temple in previous years while walking, a thick bell rang.

I saw that those scholars who were originally chatting around in twos and threes ended their idleness

Tan, with a nervous face, hurried towards the central waterhole of the inner courtyard.

The fake scholars no longer walked slowly, but also looked around with a solemn face, whispered a few words together, and rushed towards the waterhole together.

It can be seen that this bell should be the announcement used by the blind mother-in-law to remind everyone that the meeting is about to begin.

So, Jun Buyu also quickened his pace and chased after him.

When he came to the pond with other scholars, Jun Buyu finally met the mysterious blind woman in the legend.

At the moment, she was sitting cross-legged on a water lily with her eyes closed, as if she was meditating.

Around the waterhole, it has been surrounded by groups of scholars who have come one after another.

Everyone looked at the blind woman sitting cross-legged on the water lilies with curiosity on their faces, and whispered quietly.

"Wow! I've finally met the legendary blind mother-in-law, and I wish I could have the opportunity to ask her a few more questions today! ”

"Don't be greedy, it's already a great opportunity to have the opportunity to win the blind mother-in-law to answer a question, and you still have to know that those who are content are always happy."

"This brother, it's the first time I've participated in such a competition, I want to ask, that is, when I came, I was in too much of a hurry and didn't prepare a gift, can I be qualified to ask the blind mother-in-law for a while?"

"You don't have to worry about this, since you can enter this inner courtyard, it means that you have passed the approval of the blind mother-in-law, and you don't need to pay the greeting gift. After the start of the contest in a while. Participate in as many competitions as you can, and if you end up in the top 10, you can stay and ask your blind mother-in-law. ”

"That's great! I've been having a headache, what a special gift to give to my blind mother-in-law! Now I can finally rest assured. ”

"Do any of you know what this contest is about?"

"Based on the experience of previous years, I think this year should be a poetry competition. Didn't you see that all the scholars who came this time were scholars? It's just that there are two kinds of poetry contests, one is to see who has memorized the most classical poetry. Another is to improvise a verse based on a proposed topic. The former is compared to memory, and the latter is compared to creative ability. ”

"Huh? I hate memorization the most, and it seems that I will have no chance of getting into the top 10. ”

"That's not necessarily, I heard that the blind mother-in-law pays more attention to your comprehensive ability, not only has a good memory, but also the ability to play on the spot, so to give full play to the ability you are good at, it may not be without a fight."

……

After listening to everyone's discussions, Jun Buyu also had the urge to give it a try.

Although he has been frozen for fifteen years since he was a child, it seems that he did not receive a good education. But when he returned to the palace after the ice, he also forced himself to read a lot of books, and used his strong memory to memorize many excellent ancient books, which also established his extraordinary talent for poetry.

For such a good exchange opportunity, Jun Buyu also wants to test the talent of poetry he has learned, and what level he is at.

However, he understood that this was impossible, because he had incarnated as a black-tailed leafhopper and had come in stealthily, and it was impossible for him to directly appear to participate in this poetry contest.

This is a pity for Jun Buyu, I can't help but say it......
