“What a good poem! It describes Princess Taohua’s charm, chivalry, bravery and military talent vividly!”
“Is the Princess Protector of the Country comparing herself to Princess Taohua?”
“Princess Taohua is a legitimate royal princess, but Princess Protector of the Country does not have a single drop of royal blood in her body!”
“But the Emperor actually asked her to supervise the government! It is said that she will attend the court every morning from today onwards.”
“This poem is well written, but it is not certain whether she has the ability to supervise the government. After all, she is a woman. Even after Princess Taohua had made such great achievements back then, she would have had to get married and have children after returning to the capital!”
“That’s right, women should only live in the backyard…”
Yun Qianyu did not go in. She stood far away, but she heard every word of everyone’s words. This idea was deeply rooted in the eyes and hearts of men. She did not want to change them, so she was not moved. She just observed everyone’s performance carefully.
Long Jin smiled playfully. These short-sighted people, even if you put so many of you together, you are still no match for her. You actually laughed at her without knowing your own limitations! How could the vision of an emperor be bad?
There were not many people in the main hall. It was estimated that there were about 20 to 30 people. Most of them had a black doorplate on their waists. Some people’s doorplates were wooden. Yun Qianyu looked at Long Jin. His doorplate was silver like hers.
Yun Qianyu understood that the doorplates were also divided into different levels.
“As long as everyone’s poems pass the assessment of the owner of Yaxuan, they will be framed immediately, hung in the main hall for one day, and then hang in Qingyuan Hall for one day. Finally, they will be hung in the high pavilion of Yaxuan. Only people with silver doorplates can enter the high pavilion.” Long Jin explained kindly.
“What level is the silver plate here?” Yun Qianyu asked.
“Second only to the owner of Yaxuan!” It was rare that Yun Qianyu was willing to answer his words, and Long Jin answered very happily.
At this time, Feng Ran, who had gone to ask around, came back.
“Master, Yaxuan is divided into three levels. The first level is the main hall, and anyone with a doorplate can enter; the second level is Qingyuan Hall, and only people with black doorplates are allowed to enter; the last level is high pavilion, and only those with silver doorplates can enter. Everyone’s poems will be collected in the high pavilion in the end.”
Yun Qianyu nodded. The people in Yaxuan were indeed people of all levels, but they have one thing in common: they were all talented.
Yun Qianyu watched for a while. In fact, you could tell a person’s character by listening to their words and watching their behavior. In Yun Qianyu’s eyes, you couldn’t just have talent, what was important was character! If a person’s character was not high, no matter how talented he was, he could only be a thorn that could turn against him at any time. Yujian had little experience, so of course she had to check for him!
After looking for a while, there was no one she was looking for here, so she got up and went to Qingyuan Hall!
The people in the main hall talked for a long time but didn’t see the real person. They couldn’t help but ask curiously: “Why hasn’t the Princess Protector come yet?”
Someone looked out and saw the aqua blue figure. He shouted: “Is that the Princess Protector of the Nation?”
Everyone rushed to the door to see.
After squeezing for a while, someone asked: “Has anyone here seen the Princess Protector of the Nation?”
Everyone shook their heads and everyone immediately stopped eating. No one knew her. What was the crowd here for!
“But the person in the black robe next to her is the prince Long Jin of the Mo Dai Kingdom. I recognize him. Jin Wang came here last year.”
“The woman in the blue Luo skirt, can she be the woman of Jin Wang?”
“No, Jin Wang never travels with women!”
“Hey, isn’t that the direction of Qingyuan Hall?”
“Why are we guessing! My doorplate can go to Qingyuan Hall. I’ll go and see if she is the Princess Protector of the Nation!” The person with the wooden sign of the original wood color said excitedly.
“Then go quickly, don’t forget to come back and tell us.”
Several people who were qualified to go to Qingyuan Hall followed immediately.
Qingyuan Hall was much quieter, surrounded by rows of bookshelves filled with books! There were also clear classifications, which reminded Yun Qianyu of Gong Sangmo’s study, which also had such rules!
There were many more people in Qingyuan Hall than in the main hall. Some were reading quietly, some were discussing in groups of three or two, and some were playing chess, all doing their own things!
What surprised Yun Qianyu was that there were actually many women here!
But as she expected, the most were candidates who came to Beijing from other places to take the imperial examinations in recent days!
Yun Qianyu glanced at everyone, then slowly walked in!
“Jin Wang!”
A voice that sounded very clear attracted Yun Qianyu’s attention.
She saw a young man wearing a golden crown, wearing a golden brocade robe, walking towards Long Jin.
“Oh, Master Changqing! Long time no see!” Long Jin greeted familiarly.
“Long time no see. When Changqing came to the capital, he was still wondering if he would meet Jin Wang. Unexpectedly, he met him right after arriving.” Gao Changqing said enthusiastically.
“It’s the birthday of the Emperor of Nanlou Kingdom. I came here to celebrate on the order of my father!” Long Jin said with a smile.
“It’s been more than half a year. I played a game of chess with Jin Wang at that time. I was still not satisfied. I wonder if you would be so kind as to play another game today?” Gao Changqing said.
Long Jin looked back at the person beside him. Just when he was about to refuse, he saw that there was no one around him! He looked around and saw the aqua blue figure at a glance.
Yun Qianyu stood beside a man in a cloth shirt who was holding a book and leaning against the bookshelf, reading with great interest. The man was reading attentively, and Yun Qianyu stared at the man intently. The scene seemed strange no matter how she looked at it!
“Jin Wang?” Gao Changqing called softly.
Long Jin came back to his senses and smiled, “Obedience is better than respect!”
“Jin Wang, please!” Gao Changqing immediately said happily.
The two walked to the table with a chessboard and sat down, making moves back and forth!
In fact, Yun Qianyu was originally attracted by Gao Changqing’s voice, but when she saw that it was him, she turned her eyes away. Because she knew Gao Changqing, the son of the richest man in Jinyang City. Although his family was rich, Gao Changqing did not have the arrogance of a rich kid, but he liked to make friends very much! He was very fond of chess. As long as he found someone with equal chess skills, he would not even eat.
As soon as she moved her eyes away, she saw the man reading a book. What attracted Yun Qianyu at first was not what book he was reading, but the speed at which he read. He simply turned the pages one by one, and it didn’t look like he was reading a book at all, but more like he was looking for something. But Yun Qianyu knew that he was reading a book, he just read it fast. Because she herself had this ability, she could also remember everything she saw!
