Chapter 294: She Must Win
"This second round is to compose poetry, and ancient poetry is shocking to the world, so this is selected among the fifteen people in front, but this time it can only be promoted to five."
"And the last round is the most difficult ritual teaching, not to mention the complexity of the palace etiquette religion, there are dozens of volumes of ritual teachings in the clan alone, and it takes a whole year for ordinary people to understand it, not to mention familiarizing it, and now the final winner will be selected from within five people to participate in the ritual of sacrificing to heaven on the day of His Majesty's birthday banquet."
Huo Xiangjun told Xie Qing about the Wendou in detail this time, although the queen's amnesty allowed all the ladies in the whole hospital to participate in the Wendou, but the number of eliminations is also surprisingly high, and each round is more difficult than the previous round, especially the last round, etiquette, it is easy to say, but if you really pick out the dogma inside, it is really difficult for some strong people.
Xie Qingyu listened to Huo Xiangjun's words, and secretly calculated in her heart, composing poems and pairs is not a difficult thing for her, but this etiquette and religious regulations are indeed a little difficult.
"Light rumors, light rumors." Huo Xiangjun saw Xie Qingyu standing aside and not speaking, so he shouted.
"Huh? What's wrong? Xie Qingyu came back to his senses at this time and responded.
"It's okay, I just want to ask the light rumors if you will participate in this Wendou, by the way, what is your ranking in the Jiangnan region this time? I also happened to be the third in Mobei, or from the seventh grade. Huo Xiangjun shook her head, and casually reminded her of the situation of Xie Qingyu in Jiangnan, although she heard Xie Qingyu's rank in the main hall that day, she was not sure whether she would participate in this cultural fight.
"The first in the Jiangnan region, is the sixth grade, and you are not much different, this time Wendou is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I also want to go up and try it, so I should experience it." Xie Qingyu replied very casually, yesterday she still felt that her Zhengliupin was already a good grade, but after coming to the capital, she found that there was a mountain and a mountain high, Wang Lingxi and Xie Yunjin were both female officials of Zhengsanpin, a level higher than her.
The first, second and third grades are high-grade female officials, the fourth, fifth and sixth grades are only middle-grade female officials, and the rest are all low-grade female officials.
She can only be regarded as a middle-grade female official at the moment, but they are already ranked in the top rank, and they have already been qualified to enter the palace.
Bestow the title of the winner as a female official of the inner court!
If the female officials of Huangyi Academy enter the palace, their status will rise steadily, and at the same time, the family power will gradually increase.
"It's good to try, such a powerful opponent may be difficult to meet next year." Huo Xiangjun also nodded at this moment, she understood Xie Qingyu's approach, she had long known that Xie Qingyu was not a thing in the pool, but she didn't know what she was trying this time.
"That's exactly what I said, that's what I thought." Xie Qingyu still had a trace of doubt in Huo Xiangjun's heart, and did not tell her about the extremely cold ice lotus.
If an ordinary newcomer to the academy competes for the top spot in this literary battle, no one will believe this matter even if she says it, and for the sake of safety, her goal is to be as small as possible.
"I'm about to search the entire academy, so you two are here." At this time, Qin Zixuan's voice came from not far from the pavilion.
At this time, Qin Zixuan was still worried about the situation in the Xie Mansion after she left last night, but after she went to the Xie Mansion, Xie Yunjin should not have acted so quickly on the light rumors, and the light rumors are still safe for now.
Originally, Xie Qingyu's main purpose for coming today was to find Qin Zixuan, but when she met Huo Xiangjun halfway, she also knew some things about Wendou, so she chatted with Huo Xiangjun a few more words.
"Xiangjun, we have made an appointment yesterday, there are still some things today, we will go first, and we will eat and study together tomorrow." Xie Qingyu saw Qin Zixuan coming over, and hurriedly said to Huo Xiangjun.
"Since the two of you have something to do, then I won't stop you, I originally wanted to have lunch with the two of you, but tomorrow." Huo Xiangjun saw that as soon as Qin Zixuan came, Xie Qingyu was about to leave, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he did not force the two to stay.
"Then we'll see you tomorrow." Qin Zixuan also said hello to Huo Xiangjun, and the two left the pavilion with a mysterious face.
Then Xie and Qin Zixuan walked straight out of the gate of Huangyi Academy, and now the academy has already made a fuss because of the queen's special cultural fight, and the Wang and Xie families must have locked each other's corresponding opponents a long time ago, and it is definitely not safe to talk about these in the academy.
Qin Zixuan led Xie Qingyu all the way to the restaurant where the two of them had been before, not in the downtown area, very quiet, suitable for talking, they all knew that this time the matter was not sloppy.
As soon as the two of them entered, the proprietress closed the door of the store, and then retreated, leaving only two people in the hall for a while.
"This place is my Qin family's territory, no one should notice, what's wrong with you today? Didn't sleep because of Wendou? Qin Zixuan looked at Xie Qingyu's face was very gloomy, as if she hadn't slept well last night.
"Wang Lingxi and Xie Yunjin seem to have a full grasp of this matter, what kind of handle do they have, I have been here for a long time, and I don't know much about the disputes between the two of them." Xie Qingyu immediately expressed his doubts to Qin Zixuan.
If she wants to win in this literary battle, these two people will definitely not be able to advance, and she needs to find a way to suppress the two, but how difficult it is to rely on her own strength.
However, as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and it is much easier to start if you understand their weaknesses.
"The father of the two of them, a prime minister of the dynasty, and a bachelor of the dynasty, originally Xie Yunjin has always pressed Wang Lingxi, but Wang Daxue has a younger sister who is a concubine in the palace, and because of King Jing, she is even more favored, and now the two of them will definitely fight."
"However, Prime Minister Xie Cheng ranks first among civil officials, with a profound background, and the Xie family has also produced many excellent children, most of whom have become female officials in the palace, and men also have a place in the court."
"But it's worth noting that both of them are King Jing's private partisans!" When Qin Zixuan said this, she lowered her voice even more.
Today, the saint is getting older, although he has established a prince, but the prince has always been arrogant and lascivious, and he doesn't care about his political achievements at all, and most of the other princes are not convinced.
"Both of them are King Jing's henchmen, so why are they fighting so hard? Could it be because of the Wang family's concubine, so King Jing trusts the Wang family more? When Xie Qingyu heard this, he felt as if he was watching a very wonderful palace fighting drama, and now it seems that the drama of winning the heir is very likely to be staged.
"On the contrary, Concubine Shu has too much control over King Jing, and King Jing is quite close to Prime Minister Xie Cheng, but Scholar Wang is a cronie, although there is no possibility of betrayal, but favoring one over the other, who can endure it as always?" Qin Zixuan shook his head, directly rejected Xie Qingyu's speculation, and slowly said the truth of the story.
Although the two belong to King Jing's party, the two parties with similar strength will sooner or later be separated, and King Jing will inevitably have a choice.
"I see, it's different from what I expected." Xie Qingyu listened to Qin Zixuan's words, and it was as if the mouth was suddenly opened.
"What's even more interesting, Wang Lingxi and Xie Yunjin are both fond of King Jing!"
Qin Zixuan saw that Xie Qingyu seemed to be satisfied when he heard this, so he told Xie Qingyu about the relationship between Wang and Xie in detail.
There are four beauties in Yanjing City, and Wang Xie and his two families each occupy one, and these two people are in the hands of King Jing, which has long been an untold secret in the capital.
"I've been hearing you say that this King Jing, King Jing's, who is this King Jing?" When Xie Qingyu heard this, he was even more curious about the identity of King Jing, what kind of charm did this person have, conquering the two people with such a disparity in temperament.
"King Jing is not a simple character! I don't have much contact with him because of my family, but from a simple point of view, he can firmly stabilize the two families, which is where the power lies! Qin Zixuan also secretly considered King Jing at this time, she had only met him a few times, and she didn't care much about it in the past.
"Your Majesty has several sons today, and now listening to what you said, this King Jing sounds a little powerful." Xie Qingyu was even more puzzled at the moment, listening to Qin Zixuan's current tone, the power of this King Jing can be said to be in full swing, but aren't the emperors in the TV series suspicious? How could he allow his son to have so much power?
"Your Majesty does not have many heirs under his knees, but the only ones who are famous are His Royal Highness the Prince, King Jing, and King Ning, and some of the remaining princes are not in the capital, and some are still young." Qin Zixuan then talked to Xie Qingyu about the figures of the royal family, although King Jing is very strong, but His Majesty has no determination to abolish the crown prince, but has been supporting him.
And His Majesty hates people who form parties for personal gain, so all of King Jing's relationships are still in secret.
When Xie Qingyu heard this, he didn't answer, but just lowered his head and pondered, on the surface, this Wendou seemed to be just a simple competition within the academy, but it implied the turmoil above the court.
If any of the ladies stand out in this birthday banquet, they will definitely be rewarded by the emperor.
After a while, Xie Qingyu finally raised his head and said slowly to Qin Zixuan.
"Zixuan, do you know why I got the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus?"
"But it's because of your mother?" Qin Zixuan actually didn't know what happened to Xie Qingyu's mother, she needed to spend so much trouble to get the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus, when she was in Jiangnan that day, she was suspicious, but Xie Qingyu didn't say anything, and she didn't ask more.
"My mother is highly poisoned, and she needs to collect all the three flavors of medicine to recover, and the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus is the second flavor medicine, and I went to Southern Xinjiang before to get the medicine of the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus to induce blood Bodhi, if I can't get it this time, I can't get ......" Xie Qingyu was also worried at the moment, and said slowly.
"Light rumor, don't worry, I will definitely help you this time." When Qin Zixuan heard this, she directly interrupted what Xie Qingyu said, and stretched out her hand to shake Xie Qingyu's hands.
She originally thought that Xie Qingyu's mother was only sick at most, but she didn't expect that the poisoning was so serious.
"Zixuan, thank you." Xie Qingyu raised her head at this time, her eyes were already a little red, and she didn't know what the outcome of this Wen Dou would be, but she had to win.
