Crown Jewels

Chapter 19

Facing Song Yan's cool gaze, Fu Sinian couldn't help feeling guilty.

However, he was able to regain his composure the moment he raised his eyebrows, looked at Song Yan with disgust on his face, and explained earnestly after a long while:
"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!"

"I looked for Miss Shen that day, but I just wanted to thank her face to face, so I could show my sincerity."

After finishing speaking, Fu Sinian couldn't hold back and muttered a sarcastic remark:

"Unlike some people, ungrateful people have a habit of—"

Fu Sinian's deliberately elongated tone and such obvious ridicule didn't make Song Yan blush even a bit.

The two entered Jingyizhai's teaching dormitory. As soon as they started class, the teacher announced their results of the previous month's class test.

Unexpectedly, Fu Sinian got the first place in the male scholar examination.

Song Yan did well, ranking second.

Jiang Shan, who still had a bruise at the corner of his mouth, didn't even reach the top ten.

Just after class, Fu Sinian proudly said to Song Yan:
"Hey! Let me tell you, Miss Shen's classics and history class is at this level in the entire academy!"

As he spoke, he and You Rong gave a thumbs up, their expressions full of complacency.

"That's not it! If you pull Brother Ze a little bit, won't this turn the No-Maj into a phoenix?"

Song Yan looked at his silly look, and the corners of his lips curled up. He nodded in agreement and said:

"Well, what you said makes sense, but..."

His tone was elongated, and his eyebrows and eyes were teasing.

"You are pepper chicken."

"and I?"

Song Yan smiled and pointed at himself, licking his lips with the tip of his tongue, feeling a little embarrassed, and dragging his voice for a while:

"As for me, I have always been a phoenix."

Hearing this, Fu Sinian snorted coldly, stiffened his neck, and fought back not to be outdone.

"If I were a pepper chicken, you would be a fish with pickled cabbage. In front of Princess Nanping, there are sour dishes and extra vegetables!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Sinian saw that the smile on Song Yan's face gradually faded, and his complexion paled a little.

Seeing that when Gu Baozhu was mentioned, Song Yan's posture was about to storm, Fu Sinian quickly stopped his posture.

He changed the topic as if nothing had happened, with as natural an expression as possible.

After cleaning up briefly, the two went to find Qi Yuan.

Through the promenade, there is usually the pavilion next to the library.

Looking at Qi Yuan who was still holding the copy of "The Law of the Great Swallow" and looked at it seriously, Song Yan raised his eyebrows.

"You are here?"

Hearing the movement of the two, Qi Yuan raised his head and greeted them to sit in the gazebo.

"Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

Qi Yuan was not in a hurry, and read the books slowly.

Seeing that both of them were looking at him blankly, Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows, not showing off, but the moment the words came out, he seemed to think of something again.

"Of course... oh, it should be considered good news."

"Congratulations, you two boys have taken the two spots among the male scholars in the academy!"

Qi Yuan said he was the head of the house, but he was actually a student of the academy.

Compared to Song Yan and Fu Sinian, he was only one year older.

Zhen Ruo only got along with each other in private, but he had never actually held it, and the three of them got along more like close friends.

Hearing this, Song Yan and Fu Sinian looked at each other tacitly, but were a little surprised.

They have never deliberately won these two titles, so they don't force them.

But he never thought that such a good thing in the eyes of others would really hit him on both ends.

Seeing that the two were neither sad nor happy, both of them were very calm, Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Inexplicably, he recalled the state when he was selected as Dian Ye, and simply asked a question:

"I said...you two know."

"What does it mean to be selected as Dian Ye?"

The words were addressed to the two of them, but he looked more at Song Yan, waiting for his answer.

Song Yan saw Qi Yuan's mysterious look, the corners of his lips curled up, his brows and eyes were confident and proud:

"The chief is really bullying us and don't know anything?"

"I heard that the standard of this ceremony is... a person with a refined appearance!"

The words "elegant and elegant" were deliberately emphasized by Song Yan, and his tone was inexplicably sonorous.

"Since Xiao Fu and I have been selected..."

Song Yanyu paused for a moment, and the "pretentiousness" in his expression gave him a youthful look on his face.

"That means that the academy admits that Si Nian and I are both good-looking. To put it bluntly, it means that we have a handsome appearance and a handsome face!"

"but--"

Suddenly his tone changed, Song Yan looked at Fu Sinian and said with a bit of regret.

"It's a pity, brother, why don't you rely on this for food!"

As soon as the words fell, Fu Sinian immediately spoke up.

"That's the chief priest!"

"Actually, you don't need to emphasize it at all. After all, we still have this self-knowledge!"

As he spoke, Fu Sinian imitated Song Yan's pretentious demeanor, and slowly straightened his clothes.

Qi Yuan was completely amused by his stinky and narcissistic appearance.

A low smile overflowing from his throat seemed to be flying, and after a while, Qi Yuan finally coughed seriously:

"The selection of the ceremony is to prepare for the academy lectures and sacrificial activities."

"To put it bluntly, it is actually to welcome guests from all over the world."

"Sounds simple, but well, you have to understand that those who can be honored as honored guests by our academy are naturally not ordinary people."

Qi Yuan's tone paused, and he looked at Song and Fu with a bit of solemnity in his eyes.

"The head of the mountain asked me to tell you that this year, perhaps His Majesty will come in person."

"His Majesty?"

Song Yan raised his brows lightly, he couldn't hide his surprise and joy when he looked at Fu Sinian, who was also shocked.

His Majesty will come to the academy, and they were selected as the ceremonies. Does it mean anything?
As long as anyone who wants to mix in official career, regardless of civil or military, who doesn't want to be favored by the Empress of Yan Kingdom.

Even now they are all without fame.

but.

Taking advantage of the academy's opportunity, show your face in front of His Majesty in advance.

Maybe His Majesty will recognize them when they take part in the imperial examination in the future?

……

Behind Zangshu Pavilion, summer flowers are blooming in the green grass.

Shen Lanqing looked at the few people who were gradually approaching the corner of the wall, and couldn't help but raise her heart.

"Miss, what are you doing?"

Shen Lanqing frowned slightly.

Although she said this to the woman in front of her, her eyes were not smooth for a moment, and she glanced at the Guanghua county lord and Zuo Yao's group behind the woman.

The female student at the academy affectionately called the person who confronted him on the surface Wanniang.

Wan Niang is not an official woman.

Strictly speaking, it should belong to the faction of folk women.

At this moment, Shen Lanqing saw that she was with the Lord Guanghua and others, so she didn't have to think about it, she must have been used as a gun.

Folk women are like this, involuntarily.

Thinking of this, Shen Lanqing sneered.

But in Wan Niang's view, Shen Lanqing's demeanor was a complete disregard for her.

This kind of disregard made her already inferior and sensitive heart feel even more ashamed!
The next moment, Shen Lanqing was directly pushed to the corner with great force.

His back hit the hard brick wall, and his bones ached.

In order to maintain her balance, Shen Lanqing tried her best to support the wall with both hands.
