Chapter 16 Participating in Poetry Festival

"Why are sisters Li fighting with Mother? Mother is a good person." An Mengjie said dissatisfied.

"Hehe, I was just joking, but you took it seriously." Zhao Li winked mischievously.

"Okay?" An Mengjie just felt that the little girl in front of her was strange and unpredictable.

"Come on, my sister will give you a fun thing." Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhao Li took An Mengjie out, walked to a remote corner, and took out a package. Inside the package, there were two sets of men's clothes, one large and one small.

.

"How's it going? Isn't it awesome! My sister must rarely go out. After we change our clothes, we can have fun." Zhao Li's eyebrows were full of joy: "I heard that there is a poetry competition at the Prince's brother's place today, so we just want to wear our clothes."

Let’s sneak in like this and take a look, haha...”

Only now did Nangong Yu understand why he came here. It turned out that he had already prepared to fish in troubled waters, so he couldn't help but become interested: "Oh? Brother Prince, are you going to compete? How to compete?"

"Brother Prince, let's go." Zhao Li took the opportunity to pinch An Mengjie's little face again, and explained the matter in general.

It turns out that Li Mu is known as the most talented person in the Zhao Kingdom. This time, the prime minister's son came to study with everyone. He also had the potential to become the most talented person in the capital. There were many young royal officials who entered the palace to study.

They were all defeated by Li Mu, so they were naturally convinced. Now that they met Ouyang, how could they be convinced so easily? Naturally, they couldn't bear to see him trying to overpower Li Mu, and from time to time they would look for reasons to overpower him. In today's game,

This is how the Poetry Club came about.

Zhao Li talked happily. It was also the first time for Nangong Yu to hear such gossip. He had completely forgotten about the sneak escape. He imitated the behavior of a child and shook Zhao Li's arm: "Sister Li, that's okay.

What did you say? Go and have a look quickly?"

"You little girl, you are more impatient than me." Zhao Li tapped An Mengjie's forehead with his hand angrily.

The two of them walked towards the Jingxian Hall. When they arrived at the door, they saw a guard coming to stop them: "Go, go, go...where are the children coming to cause trouble?"

"You are young... your whole family is young." Zhao Li was also used to being arrogant. He was afraid of who would come. He glared at the person who intercepted him, pulled An Mengjie and rushed in.

"Dare?" the young man scolded sharply, reaching out and grabbing one with each hand.

"You are so bold. I want the prince brother to kill you." Zhao Li shouted loudly.

"It was the prince's brother who invited us to participate in the poetry meeting." An Mengjie quickly carried the prince out.

It was too late to say that, but soon, a hand from the side immediately stretched out and grabbed the young man's arms, nodded and bowed with an apologetic look: "Oh, it turns out to be the two princes, this little brother just

Come on, please forgive me for being blind, please forgive me, please... please..."

"That's about it," Zhao Li snorted: "You have some eyes, but..." She turned around and glared at the young man: "Those who rely on human power have blinded your dog eyes. Which hand did you touch me just now?"

..My prince, chop it into pieces for me."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me!" The younger one turned pale with fright, while the older one kept saying.

"Brother Imperial, the ignorant is not guilty, please spare him." An Mengjie pulled Zhao Li's clothes: "Isn't there a poetry meeting?"

"Oh, I almost forgot about this." Zhao Li slapped his head and pulled An Mengjie away.

Seeing them walking away, the older man wiped his sweat and said to the new young man who was too frightened to speak: "Grow some eyes next time, don't lose your head by accident."

"Zhang...Brother Zhang, why haven't I seen these two princes before?" The newcomer touched his head.

"I didn't see the two women disguising themselves as men. That is Zhao Gege of the famous Prince Zhao's Mansion. She is protected by the Queen Mother, and even Your Majesty can't do anything to her." The older one shook his head: "The palace is a place for making money.

It is also a fatal place. Last time I neglected my duty and was punished here, it was all thanks to this princess."

"Thank you... Many thanks to Brother Zhang. Next time I will set up a table outside the building and ask Brother Zhang for your guidance." The newcomer said gratefully.

However, neither of them noticed that when Zhao Li and the others entered the door, there was a secret guard who had quietly followed Zhao Li after coming out of the palace long ago. He retreated to the wall and looked as if no one was paying attention. He walked over the wall as lightly as a leaf and entered.

Academy.

Zhao Li didn't feel curious about anything, as if he had been here before.

It was the first time for An Mengjie to see the place where the prince and princes had classes. Naturally, she felt strange. Not only was the Jingxian Hall different in scale and management, it was different from modern schools. It looked a bit like ancient gardens and watchtowers.

Painted buildings, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water.

After a while, we arrived at the main entrance of Jingxian Hall, which had the name of the school engraved on it. After going up a few more steps, we saw several attic buildings shaded by lush greenery in the distance, located in the center of the west area of ​​Jingxian Hall.

, has a very solemn feeling.

The most obvious thing is the hall in the front, which is full of handwritings left by the sages of the past generations. The princes and second-generation officials who came here to study have always regarded this as a symbol of working hard and climbing to the top.

Surrounding the hall is one of the most fascinating scenic spots in the garden. It is surrounded by forests and mountains that change with the seasons. In the middle is the four characters "Shui Mu Qing Hua", with a patch of flowers and plants planted in the middle and a pool of beautiful water on both sides.

His Majesty also took great pains to educate them, hired well-known and knowledgeable people, and required them to follow the tenet of "being strict is beneficial, but being lenient often leads to errors."

They are also very strict in their horseback riding education and martial arts training. Their riding and archery teachers are all loyal and strict martial arts masters who are proficient in archery.

Even if An Mengjie wanted to find fault, she would not dare to speak out of conscience.

As they passed through the door again, two more people came to stop them: "I wonder who you two are?"

Zhao Li was quite honest now: "We are delivering things to the prince brother."

One young man said with a smile: "Your Highness is not on this side. This is the east courtyard. You go that way. After crossing the small bridge, you can see the gate of the north courtyard to the north."

An Mengfa pulled Zhao Li's clothes and asked in a low voice: "You didn't say you were invited?"

"If you say no, it will be leaked. We are all here. It will be terrible if they call the prince brother later." Zhao Li said as he walked north.

"Sister Li went to the wrong place, cross the bridge and go north." An Mengjie reminded, while asking: "Why do they still talk about being divided into different hospitals?"

"That's right, if you learn martial arts, your goods will belong to the emperor's family. Of course, the emperor's family's goods should be divided more carefully. I heard that the East Campus is the place to learn martial arts, the West Campus is the place to study literature, and the South Campus is the place to study history.

Beiyuan is the place for talents, otherwise why would Your Majesty invite so many well-educated people? Do you think they are just for a living?"

This is also true. After the prince has done well, he can succeed the emperor. The other princes and second-generation officials who have studied together can become the pillars of the country. They hope to establish themselves in the court and assist the new generation of kings in the future. Naturally, they must be strict in distinction.

Just like the Chinese Department and Law Department that An Mengjie attended, postgraduate students who can become professors after studying well will have a chance to advance to the next level in their future work and study. Those who cannot study well will only end up in trouble.

When I arrived at the gate of the North Courtyard, there were people questioning me, but maybe there were a lot of people watching the game today, so after saying a few words, I managed to sneak past.

Although there are more than 200 students in Jingxian Hall, only forty or fifty participated in the poetry meeting.
Chapter completed!
