The rise of the prince

Chapter 220 Fighting openly and secretly (big chapter)
Li Xingzhou was tall and powerful, so these frail scholars naturally couldn't block his way.

Sometimes people are like this. Education is a good thing, but if you have little experience and the coping methods are not in place, education will become a weakness. You really understand that education does not mean weakness, and you can integrate education into people in the world not much.

He is not a well-educated person, so it is natural and reasonable to say that he will be rewarded.

Before the few people spoke, He Qian had already stood up and complained: "This person's name is Ma Yuan, that one's name is Fu Yuzhongsheng, and there are others."

Seeing He Qian like this, the people who were so arrogant just now gradually became hesitant. A man in his thirties cupped his hands and said, "May I ask this young master's name."

Li Xingzhou glanced at him with a very bad expression, and said coldly: "Zunxin Li, his name is Xingzhou."

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and the scribe who asked the question was so frightened that his legs trembled and he took a few steps back: "My lord, forgive me."

"You don't know what you want to say?" Li Xingzhou interrupted him, and then glanced at everyone. At this moment, these people finally understood what was going on. The son of Prince Xiao, the bully in Beijing, is still Wang Lianshan's fiancé!

Several of them were so frightened that they couldn't speak, but the culprit, Ma Yuan, reacted quickly, smiled awkwardly, and said in a panic: "Haha, so it's the prince, the prince is here!"

Li Xingzhou raised his hand to stop him and continued, "It's useless to talk more. You know my name, and I remember your names. It's useless to say anything now, please go ahead."

As soon as he said this, several students present were all ashamed with fright.

Ma Yuan was also panicked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty must have misunderstood this matter. I am just joking with Ms. Wang. I have no other intentions. I must have thought wrong. How dare I."

Li Xingzhou stared at him, and said coldly: "I was on duty in Kaiyuan Mansion recently, and none of the prisoners who were arrested there didn't complain about injustice. People are like this. You have to commit crimes to know the consequences! Ma Yuan, a good name, I I remember you."

"My son, my son, I misunderstood, I misunderstood!" Ma Yuan said loudly, his voice began to tremble, and he almost cried out of fright.

Li Xingzhou ignored him at all. He was not a kind person. After all, he used to be a so-called scum of scum, but after being reborn, he wanted to be kind to others, so he kept restraining himself.But now Ma Yuan touched his bottom line.
He ignored the panicked crowd, took the two little girls around the corner, and sat directly at the table.

A few timid people took advantage of this opportunity to back away in a hurry, but their faces were still not good. After all, in their eyes, Li Xingzhou was someone who dared to beat even the imperial scholar!
That Ma Yuan was so frightened that he lost his mind, he was quietly helped back.

"Are you really going to take revenge on them?" He Qian approached and asked, fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

Li Xingzhou smiled, and pulled Gillian, who was holding her head down, to her arms: "Of course, if they dare to bully my wife, they never died. I'm not a gentleman."

"Disgusting." He Qian pinched him.

Gillian buried her face in his chest, too shy to raise her head.

"Could it be possible that you also want to write poems and lyrics?" He Qian asked him again.

Li Xingzhou nodded: "It is not a matter of course for a talented man like me who is famous all over the capital to write a few poems and lyrics."

He Qian gave him a blank look, and wanted to refute, but when he thought of the scene when he wrote poems to himself, he suddenly felt that what the bastard said was true
"Hmph, you're so beautiful, you're a great talent. I just heard someone over there saying that you copied poems." He Qian pointed to the opposite seat and said.

In fact, the poetry meeting has already started at this time. From time to time, someone will send the paper full of words to the high platform, and then the people above will read it out and make a few comments, but there are not many. When the flower boat enters the Yongyue Pavilion This is the climax of the poem.

At this time, Gillian also shyly poured tea for him and Qiu'er Yue'er. There were delicate snacks and snacks on the table. It's so good that the scar forgets the pain.

"Eat what you want, but eat less, and be careful that your stomach hurts again."

Yue'er's eyes lit up, she nodded her head again and again, and then happily ate, all the high-end snacks and snacks prepared by Yongyue Pavilion.

As soon as He Qian saw him coming, she started talking too much, chattering, and most of the things she said were unrelated to poetry, and it was completely inconsistent with what the audience was talking about.

Gillian finally got rid of her shyness over there. The little girl is very interesting. It takes a long time to recover from the shy state. It is unheard of and unseen. Li Xingzhou saw that she and the other three girls couldn't talk to each other, so he asked her people present.

This is really what she is good at. She identified and introduced him one by one, whether it is a talented person in Beijing, a student of the emperor, or a master of Neo Confucianism, who is from a famous family, she knows them all, and introduces him from a distance.

When talking about the monk sitting alone in the corner in the distance, Li Xingzhou became interested, because the monk looked nervous and out of tune with his surroundings. Everyone was reciting poems and composing lyrics in groups, but he was the only one who was alone and did not follow people talk.

Gillian told him that it was Monk Baoyuan, and told him the legend about Monk Baoyuan, which sounded quite legendary.

Someone wrote the lyrics, someone commented on it, and naturally someone sang it.

Every year, the lyrics are nothing more than a few top players in Beijing, and whoever has good lyrics can invite everyone to sing. At this time, the librarian has not arrived, although there are also those who simply want to prove their talent and gain fame. On stage, but not many.

After about an hour and a half, the lights in the distance were brightly lit, and the ornately decorated flower boat finally appeared at the other end of the street, and it would not be long before we would arrive at Yongyue Pavilion.

"Miss Shiyu, please think again. As long as you nod your head, I can take you away from Beijing. I know that you must have many unavoidable and unspeakable secrets, but I don't care." The young man beside him said sincerely.

"I have admired Miss Shiyu for several years, but what I admire is not the girl's appearance, nor the girl's talent, but the way everyone in Shiyu behaves in the world."

"Although I, Shen Yinfeng, am not a high-ranking person, I am also the master of the Shen family in the future. I don't want my beloved to be useless and just a beautiful decoration." He cupped his hands and spoke sincerely.

Shiyu leaned against the railing of the boat quietly, not everyone can get on the flower boat, if they do, they must have great skills, or have a lot of money to buy the yamen servants.
She has heard and seen Shen Yinfeng, and he will come to the capital to look for her almost every year, and the two of them can be regarded as half friends.

What he said was sincere, and indeed, for a woman like her, marrying into a wealthy family was the best result. If it was before, she might have agreed.

But now
The face of that beast flashed in my mind, Shiyu shuddered, and then shook her head quickly: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Shen, but unfortunately it can't be done. You are thinking about me, but you don't know my difficulties. Some things can't be changed just by you and me. of."

Seeing her say that, Shen Yinfeng clenched his fists, and the wind whistled beside the boat. After a long time, he said slowly: "For example, Li Xingzhou."

Shiyu was surprised, she never thought that Shen Yinfeng would know.

"Is the rumor true?" Shen Yinfeng gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "As soon as I entered the capital, I heard rumors that Li Xingzhou, the king of the capital, had a crush on the girl, harassed her all the time, and paid her back."

"Mr. Shen, don't say it." Shiyu interrupted him, quietly looking at the brilliant lights in the distance: "Mr. Shen, since you know, please go back. Then Li Xingzhou is definitely not waiting for nothing. His methods are ruthless, and getting caught in it will only drag you down." you."

Shiyu saw that his complexion was not good, and he was not ready to say more, but at this moment he suddenly raised his head and said: "Miss Shiyu, come with me, we will leave overnight tonight, as long as we reach Jiangzhou, even Li Xingzhou can't take you how."

Shiyu was a little surprised at his persistence, but still shook her head.

People in the world didn't know Li Xingzhou at all, and thought he was just a brainless bastard, but she knew that he was completely different from the rumors, far more than that, he was the most dangerous person she had ever seen.

Thinking of his calmness and sureness of victory when he lightly handed over the deed of sale to himself, Shiyu was even more certain in her heart that she would not be able to leave.
"Why, am I not as good as that son of a bitch? He may be born nobler than me, but this is destined by nature. If it is better than the acquired skills, how to behave in the world, poetry and songs, and essays, I am not better than him in any way." "Shen Yinfeng said loudly.

Shiyu stopped talking, if she used to be a person like Shen Yinfeng, she just had to think carefully and say a few words, and he would be able to make him trouble Li Xingzhou, but after what happened last time, she was a little bit like a snake , I dare not do this again, I always feel that the beast is bottomless.
Seeing that he didn't talk to him, Shen Yinfeng flicked his sleeves angrily, the two were speechless.

Just at this time, a yamen servant came up to remind him that it was time to go, so Shen Yinfeng quickly got off the boat unhappy.

Seeing the figure leave, the poetic language feels a little lost
Why didn't she want to leave, why didn't she want to escape from the claws of that beast, but... after going through so much, she couldn't tell whether it was fear or other inexplicable emotions that were causing the trouble.

Yin Yin, who is on the same boat, is the most proud this year, because Jinyulou has a new benefactor, invited more talented people to praise her, and speaks arrogantly. When she first got on the boat, she pretended not to see her, and said something about Jingzhong at the top of the stairs. There have long been rumors that she was broken by Li Xingzhou.

Then he pretended to have just met her, confessed to her in a panic, and didn't care about the poetic language. She stopped playing this kind of cheap little trick when she was thirteen or fourteen years old, and just laughed it off.

But she was talking nonsense that she wanted to be angry with herself, but she didn't think about it, but it was true. Long ago, there were such rumors in Beijing. At that time, she was still angry for a long time after hearing it. Maybe it was a prophecy.

Surrounded by the crowd, the brightly lit treasure ship turned through the narrow passage and entered Kuanliu. The field of vision suddenly widened, the eaves of the surrounding pavilions scattered, and the waterside stairs came into view, and the Yongyue Pavilion arrived.

In the eyes of everyone, Shiyu and Lily of the Valley went side by side, holding paper in their hands, and slowly got off the boat accompanied by the maid. Among the many top names in Beijing, Linglan had the best relationship with her, because of her personality, she never liked Make publicity and behave in a well-behaved manner.

In her heart, Shiyu doesn't care about the etiquette of going through the motions.

She understands the thoughts of those incompetent men, although she is no match for her, nor can she compete with her, but when she sees her respectfully holding their poems in her hands, she feels that she has won and is superior to others.

A group of six of them presented the poems sent up from various places in central Beijing to the high platform, and at this point the Yongyue Pavilion poetry meeting reached its climax.

They would each choose the best lyric, and then play and sing one by one for everyone to comment on. She knew what Mrs. Chen Yu thought was that every student would be able to send the ci to the treasure ship. Even though he is unknown and not allowed to enter Yongyue Pavilion, he can still show his talent and learning.

But things are not that simple.

Everyone sang the words of their friends or guests. Who would read the messy words that were sent to the flower boats? Each of them received hundreds of poems of various kinds every year. Even old farmers and children with a little understanding of vocabulary dared to write and deliver them, but they were all mediocre works and even nonsense.

Everyone sang one by one, and they all aroused good responses. Everyone applauded, and the adults on the high stage made comments every time they finished singing. nice word.

She played and sang, and when she swept across the seats below, she saw Li Xingzhou!

That nightmarish face, the face that woke her up in a dream every night, he smiled so happily, and there are four beautiful girls beside him, from her point of view, she is also very lovely, she can be regarded as a little beauty .

It is indeed a beast!
She gritted her teeth in her heart and thought, when she was distracted, she almost lost her voice, and hurriedly stopped looking in that direction, and rounded the ending, but even if she didn't look, she could guess that the bastard must be looking at her, he must be waiting to see her Just kidding.

If this is the case, there is a high probability that he will get his wish tonight.
Jin Yulou wanted to overthrow her and put Yin Yin on the throne, when she thought of making a fool of herself in front of him, Shiyu felt unspeakably uncomfortable, why was it that beast!

After Lily of the Valley sang, the old man above made comments and gave several words of praise, which was much better than the previous ones. She thanked her and left.

Then came the well-dressed Jinyulou Yin Yin, she raised her head high, first saluted the people on and off the stage decently, and then began to sing.

As soon as she played the piano, the poems were recognized. This is the lyrics of "Liu Chunling", which is rare. Then she gathered her breath and sang softly, her voice was gentle and melodious, very clear and clear.
"Yuan Ye in my old home, follow the wind and moon, and feast all night long.

Being attracted by the embarrassment, it trickled down like a moth.

Now Pepsi is in a lazy mood.How many times have I looked at it under the lamp.
Even in the quiet, there is only the plum shadow between the windows, which is the companion of a lonely person. "

The singing skills are solid, the voice is nice, and the lyrics are even better!

The whole audience, who had been talking a little bit just now, fell silent, and the words were catchy, so Yin Yin sang the last line again, "In the silence, there is only the plum shadow in the window, and it is the companion of a lonely person." , It took a long time to stop.

As soon as the voice fell, everyone applauded one after another. Many people stood up directly, and even the old man on the stage showed approval.

Yin Yin bowed to everyone modestly, with a smile on her face, but when she looked at her, Shiyu saw the provocation in her eyes.

really
Although she somewhat expected in her heart that she would not have a good time tonight, and it would be a rare sight, but she never thought that this would be a blow from the beginning.

The old man on the stage happily commented that this word is a good work. It writes about the grand scene of the Lantern Festival without following the trend.
The writer of the lyrics was Ma Yuan, who was widely praised by people in parallel with Xie Linjiang. Ma Yuan was sitting below. He got up excitedly, and then bowed his hands in thanks. Everyone congratulated him, but not just why, he seemed afraid of something. He stopped smiling and sat down quickly, acting very strangely
With just this one word, there will definitely be many people outside the arena who will vote Jinhua to Jinyulou.

After the first words were sung, the real climax of the poetry meeting came. Many talented scholars and talented women began to show their skills and express their abilities.

A new song is sent to the high stage one after another. If it gets a good comment, it will be sung to the people present. At that time, the talented lyrics writer can choose one of them to sing the lyrics for himself.

This is an important basis for selecting the oiran. Someone has reported the situation of the Yongyue Pavilion poetry meeting from time to time.

After all, whoever sings well can find someone to sing. A good singer is naturally talented and talented, and he can be the leader. This is the truth, but it may not be the case when it comes to things.
The first one to be rated as a good word, it can be said that the one who sang the audience was a scribe in his 40s, surnamed Mao. The paper was presented, and he said politely, "Thank you for your poetry."

So Shiyu became the first person to sing the lyrics. In the middle of singing, he found that Li Xingzhou was holding a little girl in his arms not far away, looking at her with interest, with a malicious smile on his face.

The poetic tone was short-tempered, and she avoided his gaze and changed an angle, but she was still like a light on her back, very uncomfortable.

Although the first lyric is good, it is just a mediocre work. After she sang, the response from the backstage was mediocre. In fact, the lyric cards have been fixed for a long time, and the singing method is not new. At this time, she wants to win popularity and appreciation, and win more golden flowers. The best way is to be able to sing well.

They may not be able to decide what words to sing.
Afterwards, there were a few talented people whose works were rated as good lyrics that could be sung for everyone to judge, but one of them found Linglan, and the rest were all sung by Jin Yulou's Yin Yin, and she didn't have anything to do.

After Yin Yin sang, she secretly cast a provocative look at the poem.

Shiyu felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do. Yin Yin's lyrics at the beginning were too amazing, leaving a deep impression on talented scholars and talented women. I'm afraid most of them will ask her to sing lyrics tonight
She has been an oiran for years and years, only this year, she wanted to calm down, but tonight's continuous small gestures also made her very unhappy.

At this time, finally, Cici, a talented woman who looks in her 20s and looks ordinary, was rated as the best work.

At this time, it was the first good word to be judged since the beginning of the poetry meeting. Shiyu felt nervous and looked forward to it, but the girl hesitated for a while, and shyly handed the word to Yin Yin who was opposite.

Facing the provocative eyes, Shiyu's heart sank to the bottom
