Chapter 147: Hope is in the World
Piapia is the crisp sound of the sole slapping the cheeks... It's a pity that the people in Chang'an City haven't seen the comedians in skirts in that world perform... I probably can't get exactly what I'm trying to convey... With the regret of Mingzhu mixing, Ning Que took Sangsang out of the courtyard, said a few words of gossip with Skirt Youxian, and went out of the side door... However, they had not gone far from the carriage when they heard the sound of hurried and dense horses' hooves behind them.
Sang Sang's thin shoulders tightened slightly, and he looked up at him, Liu Ye's eyes were full of inquiring and vigilant looks.
Ning Que smiled and patted her on the shoulder, and said with relief: "... Even if the prince is so ashamed and angry that he dares to send his subordinates to chase and kill or beat us in Chang'an City, it is impossible for him to be idiotic enough to follow us as soon as he goes out. ......
His judgment was not wrong, the few luxurious carriages on the street that quickly followed were branded with royal insignia, and the coachman looked at this formation, and hurriedly reprimanded the carriage to the side of the road, but he didn't expect that these carriages with the imperial insignia of the Tang Dynasty actually stopped slowly.
The green cloth curtains were lifted, revealing Li Yu's beautiful and pleasant face... Her brows frowned slightly, but there was a smile on the corner of her lips, and she couldn't see her true feelings.
Ning Que took Sang Sang and hurriedly got out of the carriage, and respectfully walked to the window to salute, deep down he may have no respect for this princess, but on this long street where people come and go, he doesn't dare to show it a little.
‘... A few days ago, I heard that you are not popular in the academy. ... , Li Yu smiled and looked at him by the window... After a pause, he said: '... Looking at the feast today... Even if you are standing up for the academy, you don't let those classmates feel the same hatred, so it seems that your popularity in the academy is not bad... It's extremely poor. ......
Ning Que replied with a smile: "The thing of popularity is very strange to say, just like those weeds growing on the city wall... Wherever the wind blows, it will run in which direction, and the popularity is not good, in fact, sometimes it just means that the wind you blow out is not strong enough. ...。
‘... That's funny. ... , Li Yu said with a smile.
Ning Que scratched his head, looked at the woman behind the window, and replied, "That is, His Highness can understand... I'll just tell you about it. ...。
Li Yu sighed: "If others dare to listen to you dare to talk to this palace in such a tone, they will be surprised by your presumptuousness. ......
Ning Que smiled and waved his hand and said, "That's because Her Royal Highness the princess is virtuous, and she is an old acquaintance, so naturally you don't need to be too particular about speaking."
Li Yu sighed, stared into his eyes and said, "... You boy, when you should be presumptuous, you are not presumptuous, and you are presumptuous in front of the palace. ......
Ning Que was a little strange when he heard this, and after a moment of silence... He replied with a smile: "Your Highness's accusation is unreasonable, at least I believe that today's Prince Longqing will think that I am presumptuous enough." ...。
Thinking of the ugly and gloomy face of Prince Longqing before, Li Yu only felt that his whole body was washed by the spring breeze, and he glanced at Ning Que with satisfaction, and then at Sang Sang beside him and said with appreciation: '... Your table is good today... But......... For the sake of a momentary battle of will, you are not afraid of offending the subjects of Yan State and the Xiling Temple at the same time, your courage has really increased a lot compared to previous years, to be honest, it is not like your original temperament and style. ......
This is a seemingly ordinary but actually sharp question... Only those who have really come into contact with Ning Que know that this soldier from the border city has always attached more importance to practical benefits such as life and death, and has never cared much about fame such as humiliation.
Ning Que recalled the tough snarky moment at the banquet at this time, and he also felt a little funny... Smiled and shook his head... Explained: '... I don't know why I was very unhappy when I looked at the style of Prince Longqing, when that little Taoist boy said those words, I really had the heart to kill him, but ...... Your Highness, you also know that if I can kill him with this little ability, I have no choice but to stab him a few words and ask for some interest. ...。
‘... This is just interest?,, Li Yu said with a smile, and then she thought of the big event the day after tomorrow, thinking of the Yan prince Chongming, who seemed to be forgotten during today's banquet, gradually smiled, looked at Ning Que with a solemn expression, and said in a low voice after being silent for a long time: "... Only one person can enter the second floor this year, and that is ...... Is it possible that you?,...
Ning Que looked at the serious look of the woman in the window, not knowing how to answer.
‘... I don't care what the Xiling Temple and the Yan people are thinking, and I don't care what kind of agreement has been reached between the imperial court and them, I only know that I very much don't want to see Longqing walk into the second floor. ...。
Li Yi stared into his eyes and said.
Ning Que looked back into her eyes, spread his hands helplessly, and said, "Prince Longqing is a cultivator standing on the threshold of the Knowing Destiny Realm, and he is a big figure in the Ruling Division of the Xiling Divine Temple, and I .................. Just an ordinary student of the Academy, Your Highness is counting on me to be a roadblock on his glorious path... Don't you think too highly of me?,。
The luster in Li Yu's eyes gradually dissipated, and she looked at Ning Que's clean and fresh but still ordinary face... I thought I was really dizzy... How did you think of pinning your hopes on this guy... couldn't help laughing at himself, stretched out his hand through the window, gently pinched Sangsang's cheek, and praised: "... You are much more capable than your young master. ...。
For most of the past six months, Sangsang often went to the princess's mansion to play... He is very familiar with Li Yu, and he doesn't resist such affectionate actions. She burped and whispered, "The young master is the real capable." ......
Hua Shanyue, the governor of Gushan County, lightly clamped the horse's belly, came to the royal carriage, looked at the carriage in front of him that was about to disappear around the corner, and suddenly said: "I haven't seen him for a year, and I didn't expect that the young man from the border city to actually enter the academy. ......
‘... Last year on the go... Mr. Lu Banchen once said something to me. He said that since we don't have any reason, we can be sure that Ning Que can enter the academy, so why can't Baidu be the first night bar starter, and I can't believe that he can enter the second floor?...。
Li Yu's eyes looked past the car window, looked at the lively crowd in the streets and alleys in front of him, and said indifferently: "... Today I saw him talking in the courtyard... I suddenly remembered this sentence, remembered Mr. Lu's strange hope for him, and couldn't help but have a thought, could it be that I looked away this time?,。
‘... Today, he was really wonderful at the banquet, and he didn't disgrace the Tang Empire and the Academy, immortal ......... After all, it's all just a matter of words... If he wanted to face a peerless cultivation genius like Prince Longqing head-on in the battlefield examination room, as he had said before, this would really be too much to look up to him. ”
Hua Shanyue commented disappreciatively, in his opinion, he shouldn't have thought like this when comparing an ordinary academy student like Ning Que with the prince of Longqing... Because it's ridiculous.
‘... Maybe you're right. ...。
Li Yu put down the cyan curtain, leaned back on the gold-woven cushion, raised his elbow and lightly supported the lower collar, and there was a playful smile between his sharp eyebrows and eyes because of his clarity.
‘... If you are really useful, then you will still be my talent in the future. ... She thought with a smile and muttered, "Because at least I already know what your stakes are." ...。
When the carriage gathered in the middle of the street to chat, a large group of people had already walked out of the main gate of the victory house, they were wearing Taoist robes and divine clothes, and their expressions were solemn, they were the people of the Xiling Temple.
Prince Longqing walked in the center of the crowd with a calm expression, and as soon as he went out, his beautiful face attracted a scream from the women on the street... Listening to these cries of joy and affection, he was not moved by joy, nor did he show disgust... It's just solemn and quiet.
Slowly stepping onto the golden carriage engraved with runes, he closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and said indifferently, "That academy student is indeed not a cultivator. ,。
Mo Li, the vice president of the Xiling Heavenly Academy, sat opposite him with a respectful expression... Although the two of them had the name of teacher and student back then, when Prince Longqing became the second person under the fellow idiots of the temple ruling, there was a gap between the two, and no one dared to cross half a step.
Mo Li frowned and said angrily. I don't know if it was deliberately arranged by the Tang people. ...。
Prince Longqing remembered the little maid who was hiding in a dark corner and stole wine, and shook his head expressionlessly.
Outside the carriage... I don't know where the melodious and neutral music wafted from.
Prince Longqing suddenly smiled lightly... Handsome and beautiful face is as dazzling as a peach blossom... He muttered with emotion: '... I would actually lose my temper for a little maid, it seems that after entering Chang'an City, my Dao heart is also covered with a little dust.
After making sure that Ning Que and Sang Sang were not cultivators, he didn't want to bother with this matter anymore, because his pride lay in other higher places... The purpose of his coming to Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty was to enter the second floor of the academy, but ..................
The smile faded... Prince Longqing said with an indifferent expression: '... Find out who that student is... I hate him so much. ......
Returning to the old pen in Lin47 Lane, Sang Sang took off the big black umbrella wrapped in coarse cloth behind his back, and began to prepare to go to wash rice and cook rice... I drank a lot of spirits today, but the delicate fruits and small dishes that the nobles loved were really difficult to fill the stomachs of the master and servant who had been sharpened by the wind and sand.
Ning Que sat on a chair by the window... Holding his hand on the window and looking at the clear blue sky in a daze, thinking about what happened to him in Victory Cure today, he suddenly frowned and said, "I don't know why, I hate that guy very much." ...。
He didn't say which guy it was, but Sangsang knew it was the guy, so she poured the water from the well into the big pot and wiped her hands on her apron... He looked back at the window and said, '... I don't know why I hate His Royal Highness the prince now, but today I wanted to touch his face and ask him what kind of fat powder he used. ...。
On the second day, Ning Que went to the academy as usual... Then I found that my classmates looked at me a little strangely, probably knowing what happened yesterday, but I didn't know what kind of mental activity it was based on... Everyone's eyes still have a faint disdain... And it was taken back very quickly.
After the bell rang, Situ Yilan grabbed him on the rain corridor and said with regret: '... Yesterday you earned face for the college... Everyone was a little grateful to you at the time... Even guilty, but why did you say such a thing to provoke everyone before you finally left? It's a pity that this opportunity for the two sides to reconcile. ,。
‘... I didn't break this thing, so why should I give them a chance to fix it?,... Ning Que replied with a smile and went to the old book building.
Late at night.
Ning Que looked at the tangerine peel that came out of the bookshelf panting, and handed over the expensive crab roe porridge with both hands... He placed a futon for him, and then shook his hands very seriously and saluted.
Chen Pipi was stunned and speechless with crab roe porridge.
The smile on Ning Que's face was extremely sincere, countless times more true than most of the salted duck egg yolks mixed in the academy's crab roe porridge. He looked at Chen Pipi and said sincerely: '... Only one person will be able to enter the second floor tomorrow... I really want to enter, I really don't want Prince Longqing to enter, you say......... I have some hope?......
‘... Don't look at me like this, I know that Prince Longqing is like a god son from heaven... And I'm just an ordinary lump in the world, I want to compete with him in the cultivation realm and strength, and I want to win him in the entrance test, no matter how I look at it, there is no hope, but I want to ...... ,。
‘... If you secretly tell me the exam questions... Then maybe there will always be hope in the world?...。
