Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 98 How dare you?
"Who did it?" Zhu Cici asked curiously.

"Yes." Just when Xia Wei was about to say it, Xia Wei's eyes flashed with cunning, "I won't tell you yet, anyway, you will know it when the time comes."

"You girl, you stop talking halfway, but your tongue will be cut off."

Zhu Cici reached out and scratched the girl's armpit.

"Hehehe, stop scratching me, I won't tell you, I just won't tell you"

Xia Wei found an opportunity to escape from Zhu Cici's "clutches" and ran towards the study hall.

"Nizi, don't let me catch you."

Zhu Cici chased after him with a smile.

The two girls ran towards the academy while playing.

When Zhu Cici was about to arrive in front of the study, he stopped playing and acting lively.

The girl folded her hands in front of her, looking elegant and dignified, with the scent of ink and books.

In front of the study hall, Mr. Wang from Bailu Academy was sitting under a willow tree beside the ink pond.

In front of Mr. Wang, there were a dozen students.

All of these students are royal aristocrats from various dynasties in the world.

Mr. Wang is specifically responsible for giving lectures to these people.

Although Zhu Cici was the closed disciple of the dean of Bailu Academy, Zhu Cici did not avoid attending such classes because of his status.

Zhu Cici actually likes listening to lectures from different teachers.

Every professor has different insights into Confucian classics. Zhu Cici feels that this can help him interpret Confucian classics from multiple perspectives. Every time he listens to lectures from different professors, he gains something new.

When the princes and sons of the dynasty standing beside the ink pool saw Zhu Cici, their eyes lit up.

Girls change a lot when they grow up. This saying is really true.

Every time they didn't see each other for a few days, they felt that Zhu Cici became more beautiful and her figure became more graceful.

"gentlemen."

Zhu Cici and Xia Wei walked to the willow tree and bowed to Mr. Wang.

"Yes." Mr. Wang nodded. "You two can just find a patch of grass and sit down. The weather is nice today. We won't have class in the school because it's too stuffy there. Let's talk here."

"Yes, sir."

Zhu Cici and Xia Wei found a seat and sat down.

Xia Wei sat tacitly between Zhu Cici and a prince, guarding her best sister.

"Today was supposed to be a day off, but I got a very good article today, and I couldn't help it, so I called you all over for extra lessons. Please don't blame me."

Mr. Wang said to everyone.

"Mr. is serious."

Everyone also spoke quickly.

Mr. Wang is the chief priest of Bailu Academy and holds a very high status.

The reason why Mr. Wang is responsible for giving lectures to these young men and women is simply because they are lucky.

Because it just happened to be Mr. Wang's turn to be responsible for teaching the kings and nobles of the mortal world, and he happened to be teaching this class.

So many people wanted to listen to Mr. Wang’s lectures but were unable to do so. Now that Mr. Wang is giving me an additional class, how can I still complain?

Although there are many people who really don't want to go to class.
"I wonder which famous article Mr. Wang got that made him so happy?" asked the eldest prince of Qi who was sitting in the front row, trying to make his presence felt.

Others also looked at Mr. Wang curiously.

What kind of article could make Mr. Wang so eager to call me to give a lecture?
"Hahaha." Mr. Wang stroked his chin. "To be precise, this is a memorial from a minister of the Wu Kingdom to the emperor."

"Memorial?" Everyone became even more curious.

It is not that there are no memorials from ministers to the king that have been passed down, but that there are very few of these documents handed down, and there are not many of them to date.

"Yes." Mr. Wang nodded. "Everyone should be familiar with this person, because his poem is too famous."

Mr. Wang glanced at the crowd and paused for a moment on Zhu Cici: "This person is the current top scholar of Wu State - Xu Ming, who wrote a "Marriage Refusal Letter" to the Emperor of Wu State."

"Xu Ming?" "Xu Ming won the first place in the imperial examination?"

"How old is Xu Ming?"

"Wait! Xu Ming was the champion before, right?"

"Will Xu Ming not win the first prize, or even three prizes in a row?"

"I heard that Xu Ming entered the Xuefu Pagoda. How can he have time to study?"

"Are the scholars of Wu Kingdom so incompetent? Even though Xu Ming entered the Blood Pagoda, he was able to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar?"

Many people were talking about it.

They don't look down on Xu Ming.

They looked down on the literati of the Wu State.

Xu Ming neglected his studies for four years, but still managed to pass the imperial examination and become the top scorer. It seems that the scholars of Wu State are really not that good.

However, no matter how bad it is, a genius will emerge from time to time in the Wu Kingdom.

Now it’s Xu Ming.

Before Xu Ming, there was Xiao Mochi.

On the other side, when Zhu Cici heard that it was Xu Ming who wrote the article that went viral, he was slightly stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Xia Wei, who was sitting next to Zhu Cici, gently poked Zhu Cici's willow waist, covered her mouth with her small hand, and spoke softly: "Cici, now you know who it is, right? It turns out to be your sweetheart, and she has written another famous poem~"

Zhu Cici's fair and smooth cheeks flushed as she reacted. She shyly slapped Xia Wei's hands away and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Xia Wei smiled even more: "Why, he is not your sweetheart."

"You still said"

Zhu Cici felt more and more embarrassed.

However, in Zhu Cici's heart, joy continued to spread like a stream. This was an article that even Mr. Wang could praise.

However, Zhu Cici quickly noticed the key point - a marriage proposal?

"Resignation letter?"

Zhu Cici subconsciously clenched his fists under his sleeves and pursed his thin lips slightly.

Could it be that Xu Ming was granted marriage?
At the same time, others reacted in surprise.

Resignation letter?
There must be a marriage arrangement.

Only then will the marriage be cancelled.

Xu Ming broke up his marriage? Whose marriage?

Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Mr. Wang smiled and explained the background of this article:

"Not long ago, Xu Ming participated in the imperial examination of Wu State and won the first place in the imperial examination, becoming the youngest person in the history of Wu State to win three consecutive first places.

Emperor Wu betrothed his only princess to Xu Ming.

Only then did Xu Ming write this letter of divorce.

You guys take a look at it.”

Mr. Wang waved his hand, and pieces of white paper covered with words fell into everyone's arms.

Everyone was very curious and read it quickly.

When they saw the first sentence, most people were dumbfounded.

"I, your humble servant, humbly accept the imperial decree and make Princess Zhaowen a concubine. I will honor her with a higher honor than expected and grant her additional favors."

I thought you were breaking off an engagement with some prince or princess.

It turns out that you broke up your engagement with Princess Wu?

If I remember correctly, there is only one Princess Wu, right?

How dare you do this?
