Chapter 136 Anonymous
“I never thought I was great.”
Wish answer.
From the moment she joined the poetry club, she hadn't held much hope for it.
She also did not choose to think highly of herself.
Otherwise, she could have directly taken the national exam through the Poetry Pavilion, why bother choosing to enter the Wenhua Palace.
The purpose of her coming here today was to tell everyone in the capital that a person named "Xuyuan" had arrived.
I'm not here to win.
At the moment, it seems that her chances of winning are indeed slim.
Shen Yichuan understood and did not continue talking. Instead, he poured another cup of tea.
On the first floor, the old man on the stage continued, "Second place, Hall, Anonymous."
As this voice fell, even more surprised voices were heard in the hall.
hall.
The hall means that this person is here for the first time and is either a dignitary in the capital, or just an ordinary person.
Although the poetry reading is open to everyone, the champion of each month is basically born in the private room on the second floor. For those in the hall, it is their first time to be the champion, let alone be on the list.
The private rooms fell silent.
In particular, the atmosphere in Song Xiuwen's private room was the worst.
Song Xiu Yue murmured and wanted to say something, but when she saw Song Xiuwen's expression, she swallowed her words back.
Shen Yichuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Send someone to check immediately. Who is this anonymous person?"
As he finished speaking, a person in the dark left quietly.
Xu Yuan heard a slight sound of wind, and when he looked up, there was no one there.
She frowned slightly.
Is there always someone there?
Then what she said to Shen Yichuan...
Shen Yichuan said, "Did you see that? Be careful when you speak next time. There are many experts in the capital."
Shen Yichuan was reminding Xu Yuan not to reveal his identity casually.
Even if it is in an extremely safe place.
Xuyuan nodded and made a note of it.
She was indeed careless.
Perhaps because she trusted Shen Yichuan too much, she never thought that there was someone else in the private room.
Shen Yichuan raised his lips and smiled again, "But there's no need to be too nervous. At least from my side, no news will leak out."
Shen Yichuan sent someone to investigate.
Many people in the private rooms went out and asked people to look for this anonymous person.
Most people hold the same mentality as Qi Chengen did before.
Anyone who can defeat Song Xiuwen must be an outstanding person. If he can be won over and recommended to take the national examination, he will definitely have an extra helper in the court in the future.
Shen Yichuan left, Xu Yuan looked up and saw that the door upstairs was opened.
The eunuch who had been following the Third Prince walked down the stairs.
Probably the same as Shen Yichuan, he went to find out who that anonymous person was.
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment and said nothing.
The hall was filled with noise, and the old man said, "Everyone, please be quiet."
The first place has not yet been announced.
After hearing the old man's words, many people quieted down and waited patiently for the old man to be the last one to come.
The old man did not keep the secret and said directly: "First place, private room, make a wish."
Another burst of exclamation.
Shen Yichuan held the cup and played with it. Seeing Xu Yuan was also a little
Stunned, he couldn't help but laugh: "This is quite amazing."
“I never thought I could be this good.”
After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Shen Yichuan and asked, "Is it legitimate? Did you do anything in it?"
Xuyuan actually doesn't have much confidence in himself.
After living a new life, she was no longer as confident as she was in her previous life, feeling that everything was under her control.
When it comes to academic examinations, she is the best.
But when it comes to writing poetry or painting, Xu Yuan never thinks he is very good.
Everything she has is prepared for the national examination.
"Master of the Poetry Pavilion, there is no need to resort to such despicable means."
After Shen Yichuan finished speaking, he stood up and said, "There will be a poetry appreciation meeting later. It will be useless to you. We can leave now."
Xu Yuan nodded and followed Shen Yichuan out of the private room.
As she moved, more and more eyes began to look around at Shen Yichuan's private room.
Qi Shengzhu said: "Brother, you see, I said he must have real skills. Can you rest assured now?"
After Qi Shengzhu finished speaking, he remembered something and said, "If I had known earlier, I would not have said those words. It annoyed him for no reason."
"It's not just our Qi family who wants him."
Qi Shengxin raised his eyes, his gaze fell on the private room, and said slowly: "The Song family will not try to win over Xu Yuan. The Wei family should have just learned about Xu Yuan today. If we act quickly, we can still seize the initiative."
Hearing that Qi Shengxin didn't mention the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Qi Shengzhu said, "There is also the Grand Tutor's Mansion."
"The Grand Tutor's Mansion has no real power. Xu Yuan staying in the Grand Tutor's Mansion is useless. Otherwise, why did he reject Shen Yichuan's advances again and again?"
Qi Shengxin finished speaking, lowered his eyes slightly, and continued: "Zhu'er, today's show is over, we can go back now."
third floor.
Cheng Xi put away the tea and whispered, "Your Highness, there are too many people on the first floor, and we haven't found out who that person is."
Beiyao values talent.
After knowing the ranking, we immediately sent someone to find out who that person was.
But when Cheng Xi went downstairs, he was still a step too late.
The second place in poetry is gone.
Not only did he come up empty-handed, many people who were sent out to investigate returned empty-handed just like Cheng Xi.
Hearing Cheng Xi's words, Bei Yao was not too disappointed, and said lightly, "If that's the case, then forget it. If I can't find it, then naturally no one else can find it either."
"Yes."
Cheng Xi crouched down and saw Shen Yichuan leaving downstairs. He whispered, "Young Master Shen has left. Your Highness, has he returned to the palace as well?"
"I have something else to do today, please arrange it." Bei Yao smiled slowly.
He got up and went out.
Cheng Xi also hurried to follow.
The poetry appreciation meeting was not as lively as the previous poetry writing meeting, but there were still quite a few people watching.
Bei Yao walked all the way and got on the carriage. As Cheng Xi shouted "Go back to the palace", the carriage began to move slowly.
When they reached an attic, Bei Yao got off the carriage and went straight up to the attic.
After a stick of incense, a man with the same figure and clothes as Bei Yao came out of the attic and got straight into the carriage.
Cheng Xi waved his whisk and said, "Return to the palace."
Bei Yao stood upstairs. After seeing the carriage go away, he asked, "What's the situation at the Song family?"
"The Prime Minister is keeping a close eye on the Song family. I think the impeachment memorial will be submitted tomorrow, but it will probably take some time to investigate thoroughly."
Chen Shan clasped his fists in reply.
Sishui County is remote, and it is impossible for the court to draw a conclusion based on one side of the story.
Although the Song family incident has caused a lot of controversy now, in the end, it may still be let go.
There are countless examples like this, which is why the Song family is so fearless.
"Add more fuel to the fire." Bei Yao smiled slowly and said, "If you do something wrong, you will always have to pay the price."
"Yes."
Chen Shan nodded, but did not ask in detail how to do it. Instead, he mentioned another matter, "Third Master, we discovered the activities of the Geshu people outside the city today. Should we arrest them first?"
"First……"
Bei Yao paused, then thought of his wish and changed the subject: "Wait a minute, let's talk about it in two days. Let's first find out what they want to do."
