My Princess Has Been Reborn

At the moment when he met Xie Hongyi's provocative gaze, Lu Qipei had a feeling that this person came for him, including the so-called competition, probably also for him.

It's not that Lu Qipei feels too good about himself and thinks too much of himself, but that he barely hides his youthful emotions.He seems to be full of hostility and provocation towards himself, but when it comes to talking about it, it's not like Lu Qicheng's, it's all blatant malice.

Lu Qipei lowered his eyes and thought about the complicated and unfamiliar emotions.

The hall gradually became noisy, and the people who were sitting upright began to discuss the competition with the left and right.

Although most people thought this proposal was a child's play, and even suspected that envoy Rong Guo was not qualified to change the terms of the credential.Or the scale of concessions is limited, which is the result of the original negotiation, and there is no need to do anything extra...

Everyone gradually started to discuss. Although most people thought that the proposal of the competition was unreliable, surprisingly, not many people opposed it—perhaps they were stimulated by the rudeness of these Rongguo people, and they didn't know their sense of superiority was aggressive. At the moment, many people really want to compete with them, and then overwhelm them, and let them go back to Rongguo in disgrace.

So after a while of discussion, someone asked: "The envoy said that there is a competition, but I don't know what the competition is? Don't say it is like a horn. We are all literati, and we can't compare with you."

It's not that there are no generals and banquets in the hall, but they don't speak at the moment, just pretending that they don't exist.

Neither the prince nor the emperor stopped them, as if they were watching the development of the situation with a cold eye.

Just as he heard the words and smiled, he lowered his head and glanced at the young man who was sitting upright, and then said, "Naturally, it's not as good as a corner. This kind of activity is okay for fun, how can it be elegant?" Said: "We have heard that the Liang Kingdom is a great country, a country of gentlemen. Since we want to compete, it is not as good as trying the small way, so why not compare the six arts of gentlemen?"

The six arts of a gentleman, the number of rituals and music, and the number of imperial books are the foundation of the literati in ancient times.But then again, since the imperial examinations, since most of the content of the scientific examinations were not included in them, these six arts have gradually declined. Except for those with real background, there are very few specialists.

As soon as Rong Guozheng said this, there was an uproar in the hall, obviously he did not expect him to make such a proposal.Then it was hard to bear the anger, all the ministers only felt that the envoy of Rongguo compared the six arts, it was provocative and overestimated!

There was a lot of noise in the hall, and the emperor finally suppressed the noise: "This competition, what if you win, what if you lose?"

Both Qi Yang and Lu Qipei looked at the boss where the emperor was in surprise, they didn't expect that he would respond to such a playful proposal.But after thinking about it, it seems that there is no disadvantage in agreeing, after all, all the Liang people present felt full of confidence.

It is indeed full of confidence.It has been less than a year since Rongguo was founded, before the barbarians of Rongdi only knew how to herd and plunder, even among the nobles, how many of them really read books?Not to mention learning the six arts.Even in the eyes of many people in the Liang Kingdom, these barbarians are almost no different from the savages who drink blood, and it is a joke to compete with them!

As the emperor opened his mouth, the hall fell silent for a moment, and dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Zhengshi Rongguo, waiting for his answer.

Zhengshi was not in a hurry, took out another letter from his pocket, and handed it in: "I'll take this as a bet, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

The emperor took the note from Zhang Jian and read it carefully. This time, the conditions of the two parties were much equal.For example, most of the year-old coins, cloth and silk have been reduced, but the horses, cattle and sheep returned by Rongguo have not changed.Another example is that trade remains the same, but ironware has been removed from the original goods, and tea, salt and other things have been emphasized instead... Simply speaking, sincerity is much more than before.

If Rongguo had presented such a letter of credence at the beginning, the emperor might not have hesitated too long before reaching a truce and alliance between the two countries.But this piece of information was taken out under such circumstances, which made the emperor think a little more.

However, if he wanted to think about it, if he doubted it, under the watchful eyes of the whole hall, he nodded quickly and said: "That's right, let's take this as a gamble."

This is the condition for victory. As for the option of losing, Rong Guozheng didn't mention it, and the emperor never even thought about this possibility.The two parties seem to have reached an agreement on this, and the next step is the question of candidates for the competition.

The envoy of Rongguo made a request for this: "Liang is a big country with a lot of talents, and I can only wait for dozens of envoys. Presumably, your majesty does not want to bear the reputation of bullying the few, so the candidates for this competition should be in the Choose from this palace."

When Lu Qipei heard this, he only said "Sure enough" in his heart.

Lu Qipei had already guessed that the boy of the foreign race intended to target him, but he didn't expect his provocation to be so direct—seeing that the crowd had never mentioned her in the selection, Xie Hongyi stood up directly and asked her to compete with her.

The young man was dressed luxuriously and had an unruly demeanor. He looked more dignified than the envoy, and he was the focus of everyone's secret attention.As soon as he stood up at this time, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, even Lu Qipei, who was named by him, also attracted a little attention from everyone.

Then everyone looked at the opposite side, and then looked at their own side, and suddenly found that the two people were somewhat similar in life!

Qi Yang was rarely nervous, so he grabbed Lu Qipei's hand a few times.The latter calmed down at this moment, and she patted Qi Yang's hand that was holding her own, chatting to comfort her, with a calm demeanor.

Sure enough, the two soon heard someone muttering: "These two people look so alike, aren't they brothers?"

The one who spoke was the third prince who was finally released from the restraint. He glanced at Qi Yang behind the prince, his tone was full of gloating, and his voice was not too low, enough for people around him to hear.

The original intention of the third prince was to frame Lu Qipei's collusion with Rong Guo, and even a spy planted by Rong Guo, and then suppress Qi Yang, who has been enjoying himself recently.It would be even better if he could give the crown prince a hand.As for Lu Qipei himself, he didn't care.

But who would have thought that before Lu Qipei had time to defend himself when he said this, he heard the young man on the other side dissatisfied: "Who is his brother?! I just see that he looks like me, and I just don't like him."

The young man's eyes and ears are sharp, and he obviously heard what the third prince said.When he retorted, there was an unruly brow, and obvious disgust in his tone, and he looked at Lu Qipei with an undisguised provocation, which made it obvious that he was sincere.

In fact, few people really believed what the third prince said, and even those who had some doubts put the doubts behind them after thinking for a while.After all, if Lu Qipei is really a spy of Rongguo, it's too late to keep a low profile under such circumstances.The people of Rongguo are not stupid, and they also specialize in detailing their own family in other people's territory. Do they think it is too easy to install a prospective son-in-law into Liangguo?

As for personal grievances and so on, they must be compromised in the face of the righteousness of the family and the country... Rong Guo Zheng looks like his status is not as valuable as Xie Hongyi, but his authority in the envoys is beyond doubt, and he will not tolerate too much nonsense from young people.

A small episode was revealed, but the overly similar looks of the two were still remembered by everyone.

Only now did Lu Qipei respond aloud, and he replied flatly: "I'm determined to do what I want, I dare not ask for it."

The eyes of the two met again, one was provocative and the other was calm and calm. It seemed that there was some tacit understanding between these two teenagers with similar faces.Others don't know, they only look at the two people's eyes and there is a little bit of inquiry.

Qi Yang was inexplicably uneasy, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but tighten Lu Qipei's hand a few times.

Lu Qipei noticed it, looked away, and turned back to give Qi Yang a comforting smile.The light and gentle smile makes people feel like a spring breeze at first sight. While calming Qi Yang's uneasiness, it also makes the prying eyes of all parties look surprised.

Of course, Xie Hongyi on the opposite side also saw it.The young boy was not fooled by Lu Qipei's smile, instead he frowned tightly when he saw this scene.He picked up the wine cup in front of him and took a sip, completely disregarding his youth, and then muttered in a low voice that no one else could hear: "It's really useless, it's all about showing off!"

The people nearby couldn't hear it, and of course Lu Qipei in the opposite back row couldn't hear the murmur of the boy of the foreign race.But even if she heard it, she probably just smiled. After all, what the young man said was true. Didn't she use this face to attract Qi Yang's attention in her past and present lives?

Lu Qipei, who was appointed by Xie Hongyi, naturally joined the competition list. Besides, Liang Guo also selected five other people to participate in the competition together.What everyone meant was that the six arts should be separated, and one person would choose one to specialize in and compete with Rong Guo.But the Rongguo man was a bachelor, and Zhengshi directly pushed Xie Hongyi forward, indicating that he was going to fight alone.

What can people say now?For thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys to participate in the competition, people already have a feeling of being bullied by the big.Could it be that we still have to deal with it with a wheel battle?This is not only invincible in victory, it is completely shameless to win even if it is won!

Everyone in Liang Guo became more and more dissatisfied, but they had to deal with this situation cautiously.Finally, regardless of Xie Hongyi's provocation, everyone decided to let the selected people compete in a small competition first, and choose the best to compete with Rong Guo.

However, this selection test does not have to be held in front of Rong Guo people, it has to be held after the palace banquet.The competition between the left and right six arts is not a one-and-a-half moment, and it can't be used at the palace banquet, so another time has to be chosen.

The competition was thus finalized, the palace banquet gradually returned to calm, singing and dancing resumed, and the atmosphere was actually more harmonious than before.

Only Qi Yang pulled Lu Qipei worriedly, and whispered in her ear: "Then what is Xie Hongyi's plan? He deliberately implicated you, and the current situation seems to be designed to compete with you... he and Are you really involved?"

Qi Yang asked straightforwardly because she knew that Lu Qipei would not hide it from her.

Lu Qipei gave a wry smile, and she never concealed it from Qi Yang, but she herself didn't know much about it: "Maybe it has something to do with it, I don't know." After a pause, he said softly: "I always feel that he came for me. "

After hearing this, Qi Yang glanced at the young man opposite, then lowered his eyes to hide the sudden darkness in his eyes.
