He is worthy of being chosen by the emperor as the third place in the imperial examination because of his outstanding appearance.

As soon as Su Ziyu showed up, the whole warm room fell silent.

Not because he was disturbed, nor because he was the only man.

Instead, he stood at the door, with the sunlight shining obliquely on him, and his whole body was as gentle as jade, like light itself.

Qin Yaoguang discovered that everyone in the Su family seemed to have this kind of open-minded temperament that easily made people feel good about them.

Su Ziyu is still unmarried, and there are no unmarried women of marriageable age among the ladies present.

Even though there were men and women present, Su Ziyu's presence as one of the hosts could not be considered impolite.

Heart of beauty in everyone.

Who wouldn’t take a few more glances at a young man with outstanding looks?

The ladies in particular did not try to hide their interest at all and all looked towards him.

Since he dares to appear among women, he should not be afraid of being seen.

Perhaps because he had been watched too much since he was a child, Su Ziyu did not seem embarrassed standing in the public eye.

He lowered his eyes and greeted: "Your humble servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess Chang and Her Royal Highness Princess Chunning."

Qin Yaoguang smiled and asked him to stand up, looking at Zhao.

Her meaning was very clear: It's a party for the ladies, why did your brother-in-law suddenly come over?

Zhao had a smile on her face, but she was uneasy at heart.

My brother-in-law has always behaved properly, even when it comes to Su Qing, he still observes etiquette.

She also didn't know why Su Ziyu suddenly appeared.

Zhao walked in front of Su Ziyu, blocking his sight and also blocking the sight of those looking at him, and asked in a low voice: "Why is my second brother here?"

Calculating the time, the Hanlin Academy has not yet closed.

Su Ziyu's eyes were eager: "Sister-in-law, I want to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to teach me the art of calligraphy and painting."

The painting "Eight Immortals Celebrating the Birthday" presented by Qin Yaoguang on the Empress Dowager's birthday had a greater impact than she thought.

Especially among the scholar-official class who regarded reciting poems and painting as elegant pursuits, everyone yearned for it.

To create a new school of painting is the ambition of many people who claim to be elegant.

Throughout history, there have been very few people who have been able to do this.

Qin Yaoguang achieved this as a woman, and her reputation among civil servants is now higher than she imagined.

Therefore, when Su Ziyu heard that her sister-in-law had held a thank-you banquet at home and invited the eldest princess as the guest of honor, she felt like she was being scratched by a cat.

I can't stay in the Hanlin Academy for even a moment longer.

When his colleagues who were on good terms with him saw him, they asked him about it.

After hearing what Su Ziyu said, everyone urged him to return home quickly.

"Why are you standing there? I've invited you to my house. This is such a great opportunity."

"Brother Li is right. If you miss this opportunity, can you still visit the Princess's residence?"

"This……"

Su Ziyu hesitated for a moment: "There is a difference between men and women. My sister-in-law is inviting all the female relatives to the banquet. I am afraid it would be inappropriate for me to barge in rashly."

"There are no unmarried ladies here. If you can be more shameless, who can chase you away?"

Everyone was hoping that he would return home quickly, so that they could learn something and come back to teach them.

The Hanlin Academy is home to the best students from all over the country.

Because he has never formally entered the officialdom and has no practical knowledge, he has a natural scholarly dullness.

As you and I talked back and forth, Su Ziyu became a little shaken.

"It's just that I'm afraid my superior will be displeased."

After he was chosen as the third place in the imperial examination, he was so angry that he had to stay in bed to recuperate. It was more than a month later that he reported to the Hanlin Academy to start work.

Knowing that he was delicate and sensitive, Shangguan never said a harsh word to him, and he became extra cautious.

Just like this time.

Even though he was eager to learn painting skills from the eldest princess, he was still full of concerns.

Finally, his colleagues couldn't stand it anymore and explained the reasons to their superiors on his behalf. They specially approved a half-day leave for him, which is why Su Ziyu appeared here.

Now that he was already here, he just took it easy and told the truth.

After hearing this, Zhao was stunned at first, but then she understood.

She had been married into the Su family for more than ten years and knew that Su Ziyu was a bit foolish. His actions today were undoubtedly a reflection of his temper.

Since he came here because he admired the eldest princess's painting skills, it wasn't surprising.

Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, turned sideways and smiled at Qin Yaoguang, "Your Highness, my second brother came here because of your reputation, and I believe he is entrusted by everyone in the Hanlin Academy."

"Your Highness, please fulfill my second brother's wish!"

She did not see the scene where Su Ziyu's colleagues tried their best to encourage him, but these words were very clever and raised Qin Yaoguang's reputation to a new height.

At the same time, it also avoids the distinction between men and women.

It wasn't that Su Ziyu, a foreigner, wanted to rashly ask to see the princess, but that the Hanlin Academy admired the princess's painting skills.

All the ladies present were smart people. They immediately understood Zhao's intention and tried to smooth things over.

People always have a stance.

In the Dajing Dynasty, although there was a system of female officials, most women's world was confined to the harem.

And Hanlin is the most learned man in the world.

Such a group of people wanted to ask the eldest princess for painting lessons, and they felt honored.

The lively and festive atmosphere in the room did not reach Qin Yaoguang's mind at all.

Because of the terrifying illusion about Su Qing she had before, she had been keeping an eye on Su Ziyu ever since she appeared.

However, all the people present were women, and Su Ziyu did not raise his eyes. The light from outside was shining on him, making it difficult to see clearly.

When Zhao moved aside to avoid the view, her eyes met Su Ziyu who was looking at her in mid-air.

They looked at each other.

Su Ziyu immediately realized that he had been being rude and lowered his head to avoid it.

Qin Yaoguang felt her blood boiling and countless scenes that she had never seen before appeared in her mind.

It’s different from the time with Su Qing.

That time, at a joyous birthday banquet, she saw firsthand the tragic state of Su Qing after his eyes were gouged out.

At this moment, countless fragments of images swarmed past her eyes.

It was like a materialized data stream, flowing down like a waterfall, stirring the emotions deep in her soul, yet it was unclear what was going on.

Occasionally, a few scenes would linger, all related to Su Ziyu.

Su Ziyu, who cried out in pain on the ground after her legs were broken in the street, Su Ziyu, whose right hand could no longer hold a pen to write, Su Ziyu, who cursed her viciously on the execution ground...

The amount of information was so overwhelming that it gave her a splitting headache and cold sweats all over her body.

These scenes were so strange that it seemed as if she had seen them with her own eyes.

You can even feel the other person's extreme emotions.

But how is that possible?

She had obviously only read the book.

Is it the original owner’s memory?

However, at this point in time, even according to the plot of the original book, what happened to Su Ziyu has not happened yet.

what is the problem?

Qin Yaoguang tried hard to think uncontrollably.

At this moment, she seemed to be out of this world, and the person in front of her had nothing to do with her.

She could see the furnishings in the warm room, and she could hear everyone's voices and smiles, but she could not hear a single word they said.

"Royal sister, Su Hanlin wants to know what technique you used in your new painting?"

Qin Yaoguang saw Chun Ning talking to her, but she could only make out the words "imperial sister" from her lip shape.

She wanted to answer, but her eyes went dark and she passed out.
