72、【72】(1/2)
Shen Yurou also saw the third prince at this time and was instantly speechless.
The sixth prince of Liao Kingdom on the side saw that she suddenly stopped talking, and asked strangely: "Why don't you continue talking?"
On the way just now, Shen Yurou told him a lot about Daqing. The angle was quite novel. He found it interesting and his impression of her became much better.
But now, he followed Shen Yurou's gaze, and after seeing the third prince, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "This is..."
He seemed to suddenly remember, patted his head and said, "Isn't this the third prince? It's just that my eyesight is stupid, so I didn't recognize him for a moment."
The third prince looked at Shen Yurou and then at the sixth prince. For some reason, he felt a green light coming from above his head.
Wasn't Shen Yurou still clinging to him before, whispering beside him, saying that she liked talking to him the most, saying that he was the best man she had ever seen, saying... she said a lot of sweet words
.
At that time, he thought that she was deeply in love with him.
But now, he just hasn't seen her for a few days, and she has changed her partner?
Were those words he said before about his relationship just to coax him?
The third prince, who had been wandering among flowers for many years, tasted the feeling of being overturned for the first time, and it was not the same feeling no matter how much he thought about it.
As a result, he lost his usual warmth and only greeted him coldly: "Sixth Prince."
When the Sixth Prince saw his attitude, and combined with Shen Yurou's silence just now, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
There was an interesting smile in his eyes: "Hey, it seems that we are all acquaintances, so why not have a meal together?"
"OK."
This is Shen Yurou.
"No need."
This is the third prince.
Shen Yurou said yes because she wanted to show the third prince that she and the sixth prince were innocent and had nothing to hide.
As for the third prince... he was eager to escape from this chaotic scene as soon as possible, so why would he be willing to stay for dinner?
"I have already eaten. If I have something else to do later, I won't bother the Sixth Prince to have dinner with the beautiful woman." After talking about it, the Third Prince still couldn't hold back his strange anger and emphasized the word "beautiful woman".
With that said, without waiting for the sixth prince to respond, the third prince took Shen Ronghua and left in a hurry.
When Shen Ronghua saw Shen Yurou, he actually hoped that she would recognize her.
Let her know that she has a close relationship with the third prince, which can also intimidate her.
But who would have thought that Shen Yurou wouldn't even pay her any attention! She kept staring at the third prince...
How shameless!
Without even looking at his identity, could he still be thinking about hooking up with the third prince?
And when she heard the third prince calling the man next to her the sixth prince, she was even more shocked.
Since when did a sixth prince appear in the capital? And he still hangs out with Shen Yurou's little hooves...
But after feeling the low pressure from the third prince beside her, she instantly retracted her reverie.
No matter how lucky those little hooves are, they will still be able to deal with her once she has the power.
The most important thing now was to keep the Third Prince under control... She was not a fool, and she naturally understood that the Third Prince was willing to coax her in such a gentle voice because he saw the value in her.
In this case, she must seize the opportunity. Even if she cannot be the main concubine, it is still good to be a side concubine.
After Shen Yurou saw the third prince leaving with a sullen face, Shen Yurou was also very panicked.
The third prince won't have any grudge against her because of this, right?
But she only had an ordinary friendship with the sixth prince beside her, and she just used him as a tool for her golden fingers.
She has activated a new golden finger, and she will not be able to take advantage of the third prince by then. If the third prince is angry with her because of this, he would be too ignorant!
Thinking like this, Shen Yurou felt more confident.
She is a time traveler with a golden finger, and she is destined to be extraordinary.
If the third prince didn't even have this kind of capacity, how could he be her last choice?
As for the masked woman following the third prince, Shen Yurou didn't pay much attention... Well, she must be a maid, right?
The Sixth Prince watched her expression change from the side, and he felt more and more interesting in his heart, so he took the initiative and said: "May I ask Miss Shen, should we eat this meal or not?"
"Eat, eat, eat." Shen Yurou was quite proud, "As promised, I'll treat you!"
Ming Shu and Xie Jiayan squatted on the stairs for a long time and ate melon until their feet were a little numb.
Seeing that Shen Yurou and the sixth prince were coming, Ming Shu felt scared and wanted to run away.
When leaving, I didn't forget to drag Xie Jiayan with me.
Xie Jiayan didn't understand: "Why should we act so hastily?"
"Oops." After Ming Shu found the door number of the private room she booked, she motioned for Xie Jiayan to follow her, "Wouldn't it be very embarrassing if we bumped into each other..."
"That's why they should be embarrassed." Xie Jiayan looked calm, "We just happened to bump into each other."
Seeing his indifferent expression, Ming Shu couldn't help but think of the first time they met in this era, Xie Jiayan seemed to be listening to her...
However, Xie Jiayan was not aware of the slight collapse of his personality. He pulled out his seat and motioned for Ming Shu to sit down. At the same time, he casually mentioned: "The person who was following the third prince just now seems to be your eldest sister."
Hearing this, Ming Shu almost fell off her seat, her eyes widened: "My eldest sister?" And the third prince?
She was originally shocked because she ate the Third Prince and Shen Yurou's melons, but as a result, there was actually an even more powerful melon hidden behind them!
Even though she was accustomed to hearing people say that the third prince was the most romantic and passionate, but this... Forgive her lack of vocabulary, she didn't know how to describe her inner feelings at this moment.
It's not uncommon for older sisters to flirt with each other, right?
Xie Jiayan's tone was very calm: "It's just that I'm afraid your sister will be disappointed. The third prince's marriage to a concubine has a lot to do with it. It can't be affected by a few words."
What's more, he knows this cousin, who looks gentle and affectionate, but is the most cold-blooded in his heart. He will never delay important matters because of the love between his children.
Although Emperor Jing is now in his prime, and the matter of seizing the throne is not yet clear, there are still many speculators who want to establish a relationship with the third prince through marriage.
But the third prince wandered among these people, but never really revealed which family he belonged to.
If it were normal, no matter what methods those people used to fight for it, Xie Jiayan would not pay attention to such things.
But now Shen Mingshu's two sisters have to get involved, and if he is not careful, Shen Mingshu will be implicated... This makes it difficult for him to just sit back and watch.
He looked at Ming Shu's confused expression and sighed in his heart: Although she had read a lot of books, she had little experience and her thoughts were still simpler.
But it doesn't matter, before she grows up, he will stand in front of her and cover up the filth for her.
Xie Jiayan placed the book bag in front of Ming Shu and said softly: "Don't think about it too much."
Seeing that Xie Jiayan didn't want to say anything, Ming Shu also knew the sensitivity of this topic, so she simply took out her book and said to Xie Jiayan: "Then let's try to argue with each other first?"
The results of the written test in the literary test were sent to each family's mansion in the evening.
Ming Shu performed well in the written test and naturally got the opportunity to participate in the mutual debate.
The mutual debate was scheduled for the afternoon of the next day.
On this day, Ming Shu arrived at the scene early.
A total of twenty-eight people participated in this mutual debate, four more students from Taixue than students from Liao.
This result was jointly adjudicated by academic officials from the two countries, which fully demonstrated the fairness and impartiality of the competition.
The venue was set up in a spacious open space in Taixue, with a circle drawn in the middle. The two people participating in the mutual debate stood in the circle. If they wanted to admit defeat, they only had to walk out of the circle.
Outside the circle, tables and chairs were moved for the academic officials responsible for judging.
To show fairness, Daqing and Liao each appointed three academic officials.
Academic Officer Su stood out among the list. He was the youngest and best-looking among the six academic officers, attracting frequent glances from the students present.
The male academic officer from Daqing who was sitting with her also looked quite uncomfortable. He thought he had never thought that he would sit with a woman on such an occasion.
Facing the probing gazes, Su Xueguan remained unmoved and blocked them all with a face as cold as ice.
Regarding this, Ming Shu secretly lamented that she was worthy of being a female academic officer, and her psychological quality alone was unparalleled.
When everyone is gathered, it's time to draw lots.
Ming Shu drew number nine, and Jiang Lezhi drew number seven, both of which were later numbers, but it was still unclear who the matched opponent would be.
The two people who drew number one were both students from Daqing, so they were quite gentle when asking questions and did not ask any sharp questions. It took them a long time to finally decide the winner.
It wasn't until the student who drew number three came on the field that the atmosphere in the arena became lively.
Just because one of them is the sixth prince of Liao Kingdom.
Ming Shu missed the performance of his poem in five steps that day, and only later read the poems that had been circulated.
That short eight-line poem is of outstanding literary style and excellent use of allusions, which is enough to demonstrate the profound foundation of the poet.
This sixth prince should not be underestimated.
Sure enough, when faced with the questions raised by the other party, the Sixth Prince answered very easily, but after he asked back with sharp words, the other party was very panicked and stammered in his response.
