Chapter 307: Collect Tuition Fees in Advance
"You've already said that the Canglang Poetry Talk has been held for fifteen years, and there has never been a precedent of a woman successfully signing up. Yet, the Yongning Marquisate was the first to think of me and help me sign up. If this isn't love, what is it?"
"If they really have the ability to get Qingyun Pavilion to change the rule that women cannot sign up for the competition, that would be a great achievement."
"I'm so happy, how could I say something angry?"
It must be said that Ji Yuntang was indeed angry.
Although she didn't know who from the Yongning Marquis' Mansion had registered her for the competition, the other party had secretly registered her for the competition without her consent.
If you use your toes to think, you will know that this person has no good intentions.
If Ji Yuntang didn't know the rules of Canglang Poetry Talk and didn't understand the consequences of the whole matter, then the other party's actions would indirectly harm three generations of the Yewang Mansion.
She doesn't have to take part in the Spring Imperial Examination, but who knows whether her children will be able to study in the Royal Academy in the future?
The other party was forcing her to participate in the Canglang Poetry Talk.
Ji Yuntang wanted to curse in his heart. Participating in a competition passively and participating in a competition actively are two different things, and naturally the mentality is also very different.
She is very unhappy now, and is just waiting for Wang Sheng to come back so that she can find out the whole story.
About an incense stick of time later, Wang Sheng came back.
His expression was reserved, and he said respectfully: "Your Highness, Princess, I have investigated carefully, and the rules of this year's Canglang Poetry Competition have indeed been changed!"
"It is said that the Crown Prince went to Qusheng Tower to listen to a piece of "Mulan Xing" and praised Mulan's bravery. There is a line in the play called "Who says women are inferior to men?"
"After returning to the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately went to the Emperor to tell him about this matter. He wanted to relax the eligibility requirements for women to sign up for the Canglang Poetry Contest. Somehow, the Emperor agreed!"
"Later, the emperor found the owner of Qingyun Hall and the dean of the Royal Academy. After unanimous discussion in the Imperial Study, they decided to open up the eligibility for female registration this year and test the waters in Dongchen Country, but only allow three women to participate."
Ji Yuntang: "..."
Ji Yuntang: "!!!"
The corners of her mouth twitched, "Luo Jingshen must have something wrong with his brain. Mulan is a military commander, a military commander!"
"He compares the works of literati and poets with those of military generals. How did Emperor Jingyang convince himself?"
Luo Junhe's eyes deepened a little, and he said with his thin lips: "Perhaps, watching the show is just a cover, and the prince needs such a cover to make his father agree to change the rules."
"It doesn't matter who the character in the play is, and it doesn't matter whether she is a scholar or a warrior. What matters is that she is a woman whose name has been sung for thousands of years and who is worshipped and praised by the people. That's enough!"
When Luo Junhe said this, he turned his head and looked at Ji Yuntang, and his calm expression couldn't help but become serious.
He looked worried.
"It seems that the Crown Prince and the Yongning Marquisate are in cahoots. Maybe they planned this all along."
Luo Junhe frowned slightly and expressed his guess.
"Atang, I think this is most likely a trap set up by Yongning Marquis' Mansion specifically for you."
"The Third Young Master Ji will probably also be participating in this competition. You have publicly offended them many times and humiliated them. The Yongning Marquisate might want to take this opportunity to retaliate against you and the Yewang Palace."
Ji Yuntang thought about it and felt that what Luo Junhe said made sense.
She complained in her heart that she had really underestimated Luo Jingshen's insidiousness and Yongning Marquis's shamelessness.
When these two are combined, it is shamelessness plus shamelessness, doubly shamelessness.
Ji Yuntang took a deep breath and asked Wang Sheng again.
"Then have you found out who signed me up?"
Wang Sheng shook his head. "No, I have asked people for a long time, but to no avail. Qingyun Hall is very strict in keeping this matter secret."
"They just said it was a formal registration process, and if you don't attend, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
A sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of Ji Yuntang's lips.
"Okay, I understand. You can go and get busy first!"
After Wang Sheng left, Ji Yuntang sat down on the chair and continued eating.
Luo Junhe knew that she must be in a bad mood, so he just watched her eat quietly, occasionally helping her peel shrimps and pick up some vegetables. They both tacitly did not mention the matter.
After eating and drinking, Ji Yuntang went to the study to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
She spread out the rice paper, ground the ink in advance, and placed it directly on the table in front of Luo Junhe.
Luo Junhe looked at her actions, confusion flashing across his peach blossom eyes.
"Atang, what do you want?"
"Practice calligraphy." Ji Yuntang looked at him with a smile on his face, "Ah He, from now on, you are my calligraphy teacher."
"Since someone has signed me up, I naturally cannot let them down. If I participate in the Canglang Poetry Contest, I must win first place."
"They made life difficult for me, so I will make life difficult for them."
Ji Yuntang is serious about this matter.
If she wanted to sign up before, it was because of the generous reward from Emperor Jingyang.
Now that the Yongning Marquisate has signed her up, she is determined to step on Ji Zihang under her feet.
At the same time, she wants both fame and fortune!
Ji Yuntang thought about it and realized that among the five subjects in the exam, she was good at all of them except calligraphy.
She has some basic skills in calligraphy, but because she is used to writing with a fountain pen, she cannot compare with the ancient students.
Fortunately, there are still three days before the competition. During these three days, she will let Luo Junhe teach her well, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
Luo Junhe looked at the determination on the little princess's face and laughed. He inexplicably felt that she was adorable despite her arrogance.
He seemed to have seen the woman who shone brightly in Canglang Poetry Talk.
Luo Junhe had full faith in Ji Yuntang's abilities. He felt that there was nothing his little princess couldn't handle.
Of course, he was also very willing to teach Ji Yuntang calligraphy.
"Atang, come to this king."
Luo Junhe stretched out his hand and glanced at Ji Yuntang with a look that was full of profound meaning.
Ji Yuntang walked over without thinking much.
The next second, she felt a huge force pulling her hard, and when she came to her senses, she fell into Luo Junhe's arms.
Ji Yuntang tilted his head to look at him, his sparkling black eyes carrying a hint of innocent clarity.
This sight made Luo Junhe's heart melt and his breathing became rapid.
His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he couldn't help but lean over and kiss the girl on her red lips.
The sudden kiss caught Ji Yuntang off guard like a tornado, and his eyes widened.
Just when she was deeply immersed in it and wanted to respond to him, Luo Junhe stopped and raised his head.
Ji Yuntang looked at him, his eyes gradually becoming resentful.
The tips of Luo Junhe's ears turned red, and his hoarse voice was slightly magnetic and very charming.
"Atang wants to learn calligraphy. I will collect some tuition fees in advance. Is that not too much?"
