Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

The two poems were presented to him by the servant boy, and Jing Zhichen patiently read them carefully.

When Jing Zhichen saw Xu Xingyin's poem, it was no exaggeration to say that his heart felt as if it was gently poked by someone.

It feels a little astringent and painful.

Is there anyone who understands this kind of feeling?

Everyone says that the Crown Prince is the luckiest person in the world.

Enormous wealth and imperial power at your fingertips.

But no one knows how lonely it is behind this precious identity.

In fact, he doesn't have to work so hard. He can just stand in the court like his brothers and govern the country with culture.

But he chose the most difficult path.

In the past few years, Jing Zhichen has been training at the border. He has been in and out of the army with all the soldiers, eating and living together, and has been injured and bled.

Once, the commander led them to fight against bandits. He was shot by the bandits' poisonous arrows and almost lost his life.

That night when he almost didn't make it, he was dazed and had a high fever, but he was thinking that he must make it through.

He wanted to return home with military merit to show his almighty father.

He is a good boy, just like his mother, the best person in the world.

After he got through it, no one could describe the feeling he had.

Look at him, the crown prince is as naive as a child. Even marching and fighting are for the purpose of showing off. How ridiculous.

He carefully hid his thoughts, pretended to be fair and selfless, and put on his armor again.

Live like an adult without any emotions or desires, and only care about the people of the world.

But Xu Xingyin's poem seemed to bring Jing Zhichen back to the dusty border town again.

There, he fought for honor during the day and fell asleep under the starlight at night. He vainly thought about making Emperor Yan Ning look at him with new eyes, about the cypress tree in the East Palace that grew with him, and about...

His mother died of depression.

While he was stunned, Jiang Chengpian had already made a decision for him and stuffed Xu Xingyin's poem into the servant's hand.

"If His Highness has read it for so long, it must be a very brilliant work. This is it!"

For some unknown reason, Jing Zhichen did not refute and let the servant boy take the things back to report.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

"In this poetry competition, Miss Xu's Seventh Miss won first place, and Miss Yang came in second."

When the eldest princess received the voting results and read them out in public, Xu Xingyin was still a little confused.

Originally, he just didn't want to embarrass himself, but ended up accidentally winning the first place?

As soon as the Grand Princess finished speaking, the noble ladies who had been waiting in boredom became excited again.

Lady A: "Did Yang Mingxue lose? Or did she lose to that idiot from the Xu family?"

Lady B: "The last vote was cast by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Does this mean that between Yang Mingxue and Xu Qi, he chose Xu Qi?"

Lady C: "Ah, so, talent and beauty are secondary, the most important thing is a good family background. Otherwise, look at Xu Qi, how can he compare to Yang Mingxue?"

Lady Ding: "Yang Mingxue deserves it. She is always so arrogant. Today she finally got the taste of being knocked off the altar, right?"

Xu Xingyin listened to the gossip of the ladies from various families, and his eyebrows twitched helplessly.

So what do these rich ladies think?

How can one connect the poetry reading to these complicated love, hate and vengeance?

Does Jing Zhichen have anything to do with her?

Thinking of this, Xu Xingyin rolled his eyes and went straight back to the pavilion.

As soon as I sat down, I saw Tian Tian coming over happily with the first prize.

The first prize given by the Grand Princess was a red jadeite hairpin wrapped in gold, which matched Xu Xingyin's outfit today very well, so Tian Tian took the hairpin and inserted it directly into Xu Xingyin's hair.

"So lovely!"

Tian Tian was very satisfied with the result, and naturally she was happy to praise Xu Xingyin. Xu Xingyin smiled when he heard it.

"Thank you very much."

Tian Tian waved her hand nonchalantly, then turned her eyes and looked over.

"I heard from an old scholar that it would take several years of practice to write a poem like this. So, was this just a coincidence or was it planned long ago?"

When Xu Xingyin heard this, he knew what Tian Tian was curious about, so he had to patiently explain to her.

Xu Xingyin's mother, Chen, was born into a military family, so she was always careless in her dealings with people.

She lacked the delicacy and gentleness of a girl, and therefore suffered a lot after she married into the Xu Guogong Mansion.

The hardships that Chen had experienced along the way made General Zhennan and his wife extremely sad.

Therefore, the method of raising Xu Xingyin naturally changed a lot.

Xu Xingyin had been engaged to the Crown Prince since she was young, and the royal family was a place that valued talent and etiquette the most, so Xu Xingyin naturally could not be raised in the way a girl from a military family would be raised.

Therefore, although Xu Xingyin was not taught by any great scholar, he was a child who grew up studying. He also specially invited a nanny who returned to the palace to live in old age to teach him the rules and etiquette.

Xu Xingyin did not consider himself to be a person with any natural talents in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he had learned them all well.

Originally, General Zhennan wanted Xu Xingyin to learn some self-defense martial arts, but Xu Xingyin had been weak since childhood and was not a martial arts talent at all, so this fell into the hands of Lu Xu.

As for why his reputation had spread like this in the capital...

Xu Xingyin nodded in the direction of Wang Yuya, "It's all thanks to this 'old friend' of mine."

Upon hearing this, Tian Tian glanced at Wang Yuya with disgust. "You are not as skilled as others, so you dare to slander them. Miss Wang, you are not afraid of hurting your teeth when you speak."

Seeing that Tian Tian looked like she was going to argue with someone, Xu Xingyin had no choice but to gently persuade Tian Tian.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet was hosted by the Grand Princess. If Tian Tian caused trouble again at the banquet, she would probably be locked up by the Grand Princess for a few days again.

As the two were talking, a maid came hurriedly from outside and whispered something in Tian Tian's ear.

Tian Tian's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Xu Xingyin and ran away.

The eldest princess was afraid that Tian Tian would cause trouble, so she kept her eyes on her all the time. As soon as she saw her leave the pavilion, she immediately sent a maid to inquire about her.

Being stopped by the maid, Tian Tian naturally knew what her mother was worried about, but she couldn't let the Grand Princess know what she had done at the moment, so she thought hard and came up with a lie.

"I heard that the last vote at the poetry gathering was cast by my cousin the Crown Prince. Didn't mother always say that it's impolite not to return the favor? I thought that I should take Jiaojiao to thank my cousin the Crown Prince, right? You go back and tell mother, I will be back later!"

The maid originally wanted to persuade them, but Tian Tian didn't care about her. She pulled Xu Xingyin and walked straight away, taking many turns and entering a small courtyard.

When he opened the door, Xu Xingyin saw a familiar face.
