Chapter 343 Cheating Incident
Just when Luo Qingge was feeling embarrassed, three loud bells rang outside.
The Canglang Poetry Competition has officially begun!
Ji Yuntang entered and sat in his seat.
The fourth round was a calligraphy competition, and there were only a few candidates left in this round.
Except for Ji Zihang who did not come, only ten remaining candidates advanced.
An invigilator came out to read out the rules.
"This round of calligraphy competition will last for one stick of incense. Candidates who have finished answering the questions can hand in their papers in advance. Candidates who do not sign in within a quarter of an hour after the start of the exam will be deemed to have voluntarily given up the right to compete."
When the test papers were handed out, the topic of the calligraphy competition was only a very short sentence.
What do you think about our country's county system? Please express your views.
Ji Yuntang curled her lips. This question was too easy for her.
If she can't write it, then all those years of studying ancient history will be in vain!
Ji Yuntang picked up the pen and started writing. What she didn't notice was that Murong Yue, who was sitting opposite her, looked at her with a hint of calculation in her eyes.
Ji Yuntang was so inspired that she wrote very quickly. When she finished, only one third of the incense had burned.
She raised her hand and handed in the paper, "I'm done, hand it in."
A guard in a flying fish suit came over to collect the scrolls, and then he stood aside.
Ji Yuntang didn't think much about it, he stood up and left!
In a place where no one could see, the guard in Feiyu uniform exchanged glances with Murong Yue, then quickly lowered his head.
One after another, some people stood up to hand in their papers. Ji Yuntang did not walk far, but sat down in a place with few people.
She looked in the direction of the teahouse, and saw that the window there had a gap five fingers wide, facing this side.
Ji Yuntang knew that Luo Junhe came again today!
She withdrew her gaze, sat quietly, and waited for the judges to give her scores.
Without Ji Zihang making trouble today, Ji Yuntang felt that everything was going smoothly.
But this feeling did not last long, and Luo Jingshen's angry roar reached her ears.
"Is this the answer that Princess Ye handed in? Is she treating all of us like fools and making fun of us?"
Ji Yuntang frowned. What was wrong with the article she wrote? Why did Luo Jingshen react so strongly?
She turned her head to look at Mei Zhuyu and Cheng Rushan, only to see that they both had troubled expressions.
Ji Yuntang knew that there might be something wrong with her answer sheet!
As expected, Luo Jingshen slapped the table and stood up.
He said sarcastically: "Princess Ye's handwriting hurts my eyes. Isn't it just something a dog could have written?"
"And the essay she wrote is exactly the same as the model essay submitted by the Hanlin Academy. If this isn't cheating, what is it?"
Cheng Rushan frowned. He felt that with Ji Yuntang's ability, it was impossible for him to cheat.
Unless one is mentally ill, why would a normal person plagiarize the model essay given by the Hanlin Academy word for word?
Before Cheng Rushan could express his opinion, Luo Jingshen said again: "Director Cheng, Master Mei, there is irrefutable evidence that Princess Ye plagiarized."
"Since such a candidate has appeared in our Dongchen country, I think we should cancel her scores in all subjects and then lock her up to investigate the whole story."
"If it is really Princess Ye who stole the answer sheet from the Imperial Academy, then this matter must not be tolerated."
After these words were spoken, the happiest person was Murong Yue.
Last night Ji Qingqing asked someone to tell her that the prince would speak for her, but she still didn't believe it.
Now it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed on his side.
It would be a lie for Murong Yue to say that she was unhappy.
The reason why she agreed to Ji Qingqing's proposal was actually because she had some selfish motives of her own.
If Ji Yuntang was eliminated, she would have one less strong competitor and her chances of winning the crown would be greater.
Whether or not she can marry Ji Zihang is no longer that important in Murong Yue's eyes!
From the moment he was imprisoned in the Dali Temple's prison, he was already stigmatized.
This also means that Ji Zihang is no longer worthy of me!
Murong Yue wanted to take this opportunity to show off her profound knowledge and make everyone look at her with admiration.
By that time, what would Yongning Marquisate be? What would Ji Zihang be?
As long as she wants, can't she choose her husband in the capital?
She sat there in a daze, her mind already imagining a scene of herself choosing a husband.
As I thought about it, I couldn't help laughing out loud.
The laughter reached Luo Jingshen's ears, and he glanced at Murong Yue with disgust.
At this moment, Ji Yuntang walked up to Luo Jingshen and said in a light tone: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has said so much, just to suspect that I cheated."
"But I have checked my conscience and found that there is no trace of cheating in the essay I wrote. I wonder if you can let me take a look at my answer sheet so that I can give you an explanation."
Luo Jingshen sneered disdainfully: "How could a cheater admit that he cheated? You should know clearly what you wrote."
"You are simply bringing shame to our royal family by doing such a petty trick in Canglang Poetry Talk."
There was a hint of gloating in Luo Jingshen's eyes, and his reaction made Ji Yuntang feel that this matter might be related to Ji Qingqing.
But she just looked around and didn't see Ji Qingqing.
Not only Ji Qingqing, no one from the Yongning Marquis' Mansion came today.
I guess he's afraid of losing face?
Ji Yuntang was too lazy to talk nonsense with Luo Jingshen anymore, so she snatched the answer sheet from his hand.
After just one glance, Ji Yuntang said with certainty: "This is not the answer sheet I submitted."
Murong Yue stood up immediately and complained, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the political commentary you wrote is exactly the same as the model essay of the Imperial Academy. Do you still dare to quibble?!"
"Quibbling?" Ji Yuntang looked at her quietly, with an inexplicable look of scrutiny and oppression in his eyes.
"I am merely stating the truth of the matter. How can I quibble with you?"
Murong Yue looked angry, "How dare you say that the name and handwriting on the answer sheet are not yours?"
"The name is mine, but the font is not." Ji Yuntang's tone was as calm as ever.
After she finished speaking, she asked in surprise: "Why, don't you need to do your homework before framing me?"
"That's not professional. It's easy to hurt yourself."
Murong Yue: "..."
Murong Yue: "!!!"
Ji Yuntang said this to her, and she realized belatedly that the other party might be doubting her and trying to deceive her.
Murong Yue clenched his fists and snorted coldly, "Who framed you?"
"I just can't stand seeing people cheating in the Canglang Poetry Competition. I said this just to speak up for all the candidates present!"
Ji Yuntang sneered, "What a way to defend the weak. What if I didn't cheat?"
