Donggong Zhangjiao

In the end, the seventh princess lost.

According to the seventh princess, this situation happened because the other party was three years older than her and had studied for three more years. A gentleman would not make a difference, so she would not care about it.

The fourth prince just smiled and said nothing while listening to his sister's complaints.

Can you dig out someone's life and age without caring about it?
At that time, the four princes all suspected that their little sister had found out about the family and wanted to send someone to assassinate the boy.

Just as I was thinking about it, I didn't expect someone to come to my door.

"You two, please stay!"

Wearing a sapphire blue cloak, a tall man blocked the way of the two of them and bowed respectfully.

"I have no intention of competing with the girl for this lantern. I am just interested in the riddles. Don't let me be angry with you. I will give this lantern to you."

Ji Hanqing said every word, his attitude was polite, and he didn't seem to be hypocritical.

After saying this, he took the beautifully crafted peacock lantern from the boy's hand and handed it over.

But the seventh princess didn't answer and just hummed.

"Whoever is interested in this lantern, don't look down on me just because I'm a woman. I'm also interested in lantern riddles!"

After saying this, he tugged the fourth prince's arm.

"Brother, let's go."

But the fourth prince did not move, and only spoke with a gentle expression.

"Master Ji is not from Kyoto, right?"

"Yes, I came from Anlu, and now I am staying at the residence of an uncle in Kyoto." Ji Han said lightly.

The fourth prince nodded, "Is it because you came to the capital at this time for spring?"

This year's Spring Festival is scheduled for late March. It is a long way to go to Beijing to take the exam. Many candidates from other places come to Beijing in advance.

Judging from Ji Hanqing's well-dressed appearance, he must not be an ordinary young man.

"Brother, if you ask me this, you must also end up this year?" Ji Han said lightly.

The fourth prince smiled and said, "I don't think so, but I am from Kyoto. When we meet today, we are destined to be together. Why don't we make friends? If anything happens, just come to me. I don't know where Mr. Ji lives now." Where?"

Ji Hanqing naturally could tell that the brother and sister in front of him were not ordinary people, so he readily made this friend.

The seventh princess was not happy at all, but she could see that her fourth brother cherished talents, so she didn't say much.

Unexpectedly, a few months later, Chunwei posted a list, and Ji Hanqing was really at the top.

In the subsequent palace examination, Pei Yao selected him as the number one scholar.

The seventh princess was also quite surprised when she heard the news that Ji Hanqing was the new champion.

Her heart couldn't help but throb, and she pestered the fourth prince to take her out of the palace to watch the parade of the new champion.

The man riding a tall horse, wearing a red robe of champion, high-spirited, with smiling phoenix eyes, deep facial features, red lips and white teeth, looks even more handsome than that night of the Lantern Festival, as if he had stepped out of a painting.

"Why don't you ask him to be the most beautiful girl?" the seventh princess hummed.

Indeed, this year's top pick in the new class is more handsome than the top three.

During the parade, there were still brave girls who threw handkerchiefs on Ji Hanqing.

The fourth prince and the seventh princess sat in the teahouse and watched, with a good view.

When Ji Hanqing passed the teahouse, he happened to raise his head and saw them, so he smiled and bowed.

"Show off!" the seventh princess pouted.

I just didn't expect that from then on, the seventh princess would see Ji Hanqing often. The Seventh Princess loves to be lively, and she is recognized by all the young ladies from all the high-ranking families in Kyoto. When these people hold poetry gatherings, flower-viewing banquets, etc., they must invite the Seventh Princess there. As a newly single person in Kyoto, Ji Hanqing Hui Hui was also present.

Then everyone gradually discovered that the seventh princess and the number one scholar were quite competitive.

In ordinary poetry gatherings, the main focus is entertainment, such as writing poems, couplets, drinking orders, etc., but these two can always be more serious.

It made the scene look like a Gongyuan science examination room.

But no one dared to say anything. The seventh princess did not dare to persuade, but she only dared to persuade Ji Han to lower his head.

It was impossible to lower his head, so Ji Han said lightly that he should not go.

But when the seventh princess found out that Ji Hanqing was missing from the Poetry Club, she felt depressed and unhappy, and was unwilling to go.

After this back and forth, there were secret rumors in Kyoto that the seventh princess and the number one scholar in the dynasty were in love with each other.

The seventh princess didn't know it in the palace, but the fourth prince knew it outside the palace.

Ji Hanqing was immediately called to the East Palace for questioning.

Ji Hanqing frowned and thought again and again, and finally said, "Weichen will solve this matter properly."

Then not long after, new news came out in Kyoto. There was a matchmaker coming in and out of the No. 1 Scholar's house, presumably to marry him.

Coupled with the previous rumors, it turned out that the number one scholar wanted to get married to himself quickly in order to avoid the seventh princess.

At that time, Ji Hanqing was good-looking, had a good family background, and was up to his own standards. Naturally, he soon received offers from major houses in Beijing, and the families who wanted to marry their daughters to him almost stepped down the threshold for him.

It was only when things developed to this point that the seventh princess knew what was going on outside.

He was so angry that he rushed directly into the Number One Scholar's Mansion.

He scolded Ji Hanqing for being evil-minded and deliberately doing this to make her laughable.

Ji Hanqing was scolded for a while, but.

He has no such intention.

He thought that after he got married, no one would talk about him and the princess, and naturally it would not affect the princess's reputation.

Ji Hanqing had a headache as he watched the seventh princess leave angrily.

The young man gave him some advice and said, "The young master is following His Highness the Crown Prince now. The seventh princess is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's biological sister. It is not good to offend him. It is better for the Young Master to coax more, bow his head and be submissive. The princess will be happy and the relationship will be eased." Yes, it’s good for everyone.”

Ji Hanqian couldn't think of any other way, so he had no choice but to take this path.

So in the following days, the collection of poems that the seventh princess wanted was delivered to her hands within a few days. The fashionable jewelry in Beijing that she wanted was also brought, as well as snacks, rouge, copybooks, chess records, calligraphy and paintings. ,etc.

The seventh princess was very curious and asked someone to find out who sent it. Unexpectedly, it was Ji Hanqing.

The other party was so friendly. No matter how angry the seventh princess was, she couldn't continue to keep a cold face. After thinking about it, she went to Pei Yao's imperial study room to pick out a good out-of-print ancient book and sent it to the Number One Scholar's Mansion. .

Ji Hanqing's eyes widened after receiving the ancient book.

For a bookworm like him, books really attract him the most.

For a time, the relationship between the two also eased a lot.

Ji Hanqing followed the fourth prince into the palace and met the seventh princess. The two could greet each other calmly. At the banquet outside the palace, the two could not help but look for each other. The seventh princess went to the East Palace and met Ji Hanqing, and occasionally Ji Hanqing saw through the little tricks of the Seventh Princess and pretended not to know, deliberately making the Seventh Princess laugh.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, within two years, the two of them had almost become friends.

But only each other knows whether they regard each other as good friends.

And this balance will eventually be broken.

After staying alone in Kyoto for two years, Ji Hanqing's mother felt unwell and came to the capital to see a doctor and visit her son. The person who accompanied his mother was his direct cousin. (End of chapter)
