Gao Yu was furious in his heart. He was checking the examination papers. He was sitting close to King Qi and others, and all these conversations reached his ears.

Zhou Jiaqing is a sheep in the tiger's mouth when he is targeted by King Qi. No matter how smart Zhou Jiaqing is, she is still a little girl. How can she get a favor from the ruthless King Qi?

"What a waste." The more Gao Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but curse Xie Yuanfu secretly in his heart. Zhou Jiaqing had helped him at least, and to repay him like this was a waste of being a man!

A few words almost decided the fate of a noble girl. Others were unaware of the changes here and were still immersed in the shock presented by Zhou Jiaqing's painting.

After a long time, Mr. Xu, who was the first to react, asked Zhou Jiaqing: "Then what is your relationship with Mr. Zhou Yuan?"

"He is my master." Zhou Jiaqing replied.

As soon as these words came out, all the gentlemen and ladies on the high platform took a breath of cold air. No wonder the painting method was so delicate and sharp.

It also successfully dispelled the doubts in the minds of everyone present. Everyone in the academy knew that her painting skills were not good, and she painted such an excellent painting all at once. Of course, they had some doubts about her.

Mr. Xu is a calligraphy and painting teacher at Pinghu Academy, and he is even more addicted to painting on weekdays. Therefore, when he saw Zhou Jiaqing's paintings, he immediately felt familiar. What he was arguing with those gentlemen just now was who actually came from Zhou Jiaqing's painting method?

Zhou Jiayun looked at Qiu Ju waiting for Zhou Jiaqing in the audience with a happy face. She couldn't keep the look on her face and walked past with a cold snort, but Zhou Jiaqing didn't look very happy either.

Ji Chengxi followed Zhou Jiaqing and was very happy: "The test results will be out soon. Anyway, you also got first place in the 'Painting' group, and you should surpass Wang Chuchu in the ranking."

Zhou Jiaqing calmly replied: "We'll wait until the results come out."

At this moment, everyone left the table and stood up to move around. A malicious look followed Zhou Jiaqing. It was not necessary to assume that it was Wang Chuchu and his sister. Wang Chuchu failed to get a ranking in the 'painting' group and was already lagging behind. If there were any more mistakes in the exam paper, there was a real chance that Zhou Jiaqing would be surpassed.

Zhou Jiaqing didn't want to be stared at by Wang Chuchu's resentful eyes, so he walked around with excuses. Ji Chengxi wanted to follow him, but his mother had something to do with her and had to give up.

After wandering around, Zhou Jiaqing walked into the bamboo forest. The bamboo was not very lush this season, so she walked further in until she reached the three houses deep in the bamboo forest.

Chuntao walked over from one side of the bamboo forest and whispered softly: "Miss, Mr. Gao has delivered the things to Chen Jinxing."

"it is good."

When did the young lady become so familiar with Mr. Gao? Chuntao and Qiu Ju were secretly wondering when a commanding tone suddenly came: "Come in."

Chuntao and Qiu Ju were both startled, and quickly protected Zhou Jiaqing behind them, looking warily at the door that had opened at some point, from where the sound came.

When Zhou Jiaqing heard this voice, he felt quite familiar. It was Xu Jingxiao.

"Chun Tao, Qiu Ju, you two are guarding the door. If anyone comes to ask, just say that I am changing." Zhou Jiaqing said.

"But Miss..." The two of them were hesitant. They didn't know who was in the room, but it was a man's voice. He was worried that the Miss might have an accident.

Zhou Jiaqing's voice was a little cold: "Go."

The inexplicable majesty of the young lady prevented them from refuting any more, so they could only watch the young lady step into the house. They closed the door and stood guard on both sides of the door.

As soon as Zhou Jiaqing entered, he was first stunned by the other party's cold appearance for a moment, and then saw Xu Jingxiao's sharp eyes staring at him with a hint of coldness.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Zhou Jiaqing frowned slightly. Naturally, he was not chatting with him at this time.

People who didn't understand him in the previous life still can't figure out his temperament in this life.

"That ugly King of Qi wants to marry you." The calm tone was tinged with contempt. When Xu Jingxiao said it, it was even more mocking, as if the word "King of Qi" was such a dirty thing. Although Qi King is indeed.

Zhou Jiaqing was distracted for a moment when he heard this, but his expression was not a trace of surprise. The tall figure of the man next to him suddenly appeared in front of her, leaning slightly towards her.

"You already knew." Zhou Jiaqing's ears felt hot, and a cold and deep voice sounded, with a chill in it.

If someone comes in from the outside at this time, with such ambiguous movements, it looks like Xu Jingxiao is holding her in his arms from the front. Her breathing is slightly stagnant, but after all, she is not a little girl who is inexperienced in the world. Soon After adjusting her breathing, she raised her eyes and looked at him: "Yes, I have known it for a long time, but this can't change King Qi's decision, can it?"

After hearing Zhou Jiaqing's explanation, Xu Jingxiao was not satisfied. He retreated to the stool he was sitting on, leaned back, his eyes became unclear, and asked, "Why are you so anxious to find a future for Chen Jinxing?"

A dark light flashed in Zhou Jiaqing's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask more questions in his tone: "Does the prince want to get involved?"

"You have no friendship with Chen Jinxing, so you won't help him like this, and you must disdain him as a person, so..." Xu Jingxiao picked up the tea on the table and took a slow sip, still coldly, An emotionless voice said: "Miss Tuesday, what are you and Gao Yu doing together to push him to Xie Yuanfu's side?"

Zhou Jiaqing's eyes twitched and her breathing stagnated. Xu Jingxiao was smarter than she expected. She quietly stared at the tea bowl in Xu Jingxiao's hand, steadying her unnatural expression.

If Ji Chengfeng was involved, based on her understanding of Xu Jingxiao in her previous life, she would definitely cover it up for her. But this time it was the prince, and she didn't know how Xu Jingxiao would view him.

What's more, a prince who has never been out of the house for several years knows so much about an inconspicuous academy gentleman. It seems that Xu Jingxiao cannot allow himself to be underestimated.

Gao Yu had a piece of "Junzi Lun" in his hand, which was his analysis of various aristocratic families in Da'an City. After Xie Yuanfu accepted Gao Yu in the previous generation, Gao Yu took out this "Junzi Lun", which was even more powerful for Xie Yuanfu. Since then, Gao Yu has been Xie Yuanfu's closest aide.

In this life, she naturally could not let Xie Yuanfu possess "The Theory of Gentlemen". However, Xie Yuanfu failed to regain Gao Yu, so she helped him conquer another "talented man" Chen Jinxing.

Although Chen Jinxing was now just a teacher at Pinghu Academy, just a few months later, everyone discovered that he was actually the second son of the General Affairs Secretary family.

In the fourth year of Jiande's reign, four-year-old Chen Jinxing encountered bandits on his way to his grandfather's house with his mother. Although they took away gold and silver, everyone was unscathed.

The bandits probably knew his identity and didn't dare to make too many mistakes, but Chen Jinxing didn't know where he was hiding. He searched many times to no avail. In the end, even the bandits were stunned but couldn't find him.
