Tyrant, your vest fell off

Chapter 81 – The Grass Does Not Go With the Wind
"I also bet 1000 taels of gold, betting on Qingmei to win!"

Xingye Nan, who was dressed in bluestone blue uniform, stood beside Li Qingmei at some point.

Four years later, he was no longer that precarious disobedient marquis.

Over the years, he, who came from a family of generals, has firmly controlled the precarious Starry Night government in his own hands through a series of iron-blooded methods of military rule.

No one dares to underestimate this young emperor who is only 17 years old.

"Long time no see, you... how are you?"

What he asked was if everyone was well, but he looked straight at Li Qingmei with a pair of scorching eyes, which were bent into a beautiful crescent shape, and the joy in his eyes was beyond words.

"Brother Xingye, long time no see! Don't come here without any problems!"

With a slight smile on Sikong Que's face, Yiyin walked towards the crowd gracefully, followed by Wencheng Lu Xue who was also dressed in plain white.

At this time, Sikong Que's hand was holding Wencheng Lu Xue tightly, and the two were in love with each other, envious of others.

Although Li Qingmei often heard from Jananfeng Zhanying and others how close he and Wencheng were, how inseparable they were.

But in these years, it was the first time for her to see the two show their affection in front of her eyes.

She just felt that her heart hurt so much. It turned out that after so many years, she thought she had forgotten, but she was just deceiving herself.

Pretending to be calm, she silently lowered her head, not wanting others to see her pursed white lips.

Xingye Nan put away her smile, looked at Sikong Que and Wencheng Lu Xue with a half-smile, and suddenly laughed softly.

"Hahaha, congratulations to King Shun, for winning this beautiful woman, you two are really right!"

After his perfunctory praise, he immediately put away his smile, turned around, and blocked Xin Chang's figure in front of the embarrassed Li Qingmei.

"Qingmei, I bet 1000 taels of gold that you will come out on top today, don't let me lose everything."

"After the selection competition of Promise of Light, I prepared thin wine in the Starry Night Inn at the foot of the mountain. The few of us drank it to our heart's content, and we will never return home without getting drunk!"

"His Royal Highness King Shun, Empress Wencheng, let's talk about it another day!"

"Okay, then let's go. It's been a long time since I saw you, but you have become so handsome. Has anyone said that you look good, Your Majesty?"

Li Qingmei took Xingyenan's arm pretending to be intimate, but she didn't dare to turn her head, Xiaoniao yiren pulled Xingyenan and walked towards the arena.

"Sister Mei, look quickly, the four women below the ring are the ones who insulted you."

Jananfeng tugged on Li Qingmei's sleeve, and pointed at four girls who were teasing not far away.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the woman in the purple shirt who took the lead in insulting our sister Mei is the noble daughter of your Starry Night Dynasty."

"I didn't expect the women of the Starry Night Dynasty to be so tough. Wen Ke is a shrew who scolds the street, and Wu Neng bullies the weak. It's really lucky that Sister Mei was not beaten to death by her that year~"

Zhan Ying complained to Xingye Nan in a strange manner.

"Oh!?"

Hearing his question, a short and fat middle-aged man who had been closely following Xingye Nan wiped off the sweat from his brow, bent over tremblingly and leaned in front of him.

"Your Majesty, this woman is my minister's evil daughter. I deserve to die for my crimes. I will drive that evil back home and discipline her strictly. I will die!"

A sternness flashed in Xingye Nan's eyes, but it was inconvenient to attack in public, so he waved his hand lightly, signaling the middle-aged man to back down.

The man saw that he didn't get to the bottom of the crime, he immediately retreated behind Xingye Nan with his head lowered as if he had been pardoned.

The moment Li Qingmei, Zhanying and the others stepped into the examination room, Xingye Nan suddenly chatted with Gong Manman beside him for no reason.

"General Palace Attendant, I heard that there is a shortage of official prostitutes in the comfort station of the Shence Army."

"Do you think the daughter of Liu Qing's family can still do the job? If not, why don't you go to Liu Qing's mansion to have a look?"

"Lord Liu's daughter is both civil and military, His Majesty is wise!"

Gong Manman and Xingye Nan sang together and concluded the fate of the domineering woman in purple.

But the middle-aged man could only lower his head with a pale face, not daring to intercede. He would not suffer a loss if a concubine exchanged the safety of the women in the house.

Fortunately, His Majesty did not take his anger out on him, which is considered a blessing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"

After the man thanked him, he rushed towards the woman in purple, pulled her and muttered something.

Soon the woman's face turned pale, she collapsed on the ground in an instant, and finally passed out. After the man saluted Xingye Nan with a little apology, he ordered the woman in purple to be taken away from the arena.

Almost half of the graduating students signed up for this selection of Promise of Light. The selection is divided into three stages, the preliminary round, the semi-finals, and the final.

The preliminary competition was poetry and prose, and [-] students from the men's and women's groups were selected to enter the semi-finals.

The rematch is a group arena, two out of three rounds, male and female students will draw lots to determine the content of the competition.

For example, if Li Qingmei is drawn to fight with Zhanying, then the two will write down their best skills, and they will fight each other with each other's best skills.

For example, Li Qingmei wrote about Danqing calligraphy in Zuoliangtang, and Zhan Ying wrote about swordsmanship in Jiangwutang.

Then during the competitions, in one of the competitions, Li Qingmei had to have a swordsmanship duel with Zhanying.The same is true for Zhanying.

In the other round, the two opponents reached a consensus and competed in subjects that both sides thought were good at.

For thousands of years, this rule has been complained by successive students, but it has never changed in the slightest, and it is still used today in its own way.

The academy's official explanation is a long piece of classical Chinese, with three emperors and five emperors, and Pangu opened the sky. It can be summed up in an easy-to-understand sentence:

Wujiguang must be an all-rounder, and must be able to use his strengths to overcome others.

In the semi-finals, two male and female students were selected to enter the final. No one knew what the content of the final was, because every finalist kept secret about the content of the competition.

At this time, Li Qingmei bit her pen and was looking at the test questions of the preliminary round. There was only one question, but after she finished reading the test questions, she silently mourned for Zhan Ying and Jian Nanfeng for 3 minutes.

Because this question is about a rare palindromic poem.

The so-called palindrome poem is a unique rhetorical method that uses the word order to go back and forth. It reads back and forth, endlessly, giving people a soul-stirring and interesting aesthetic feeling.

Palindrome poems are repeated into chapters, intrigues, and should not be taken lightly by small ways, and the highest state of palindrome poems is called palindromic quatrains, which are repeated loops, all of which are original sentences.

She bit her pen and looked at the test questions. There were only eight sentences, but it was really difficult to match the poems with the same artistic conception.

And Jananfeng who was behind him was softly reading the test questions:

"The tide follows the dark waves and the snow-capped mountains, and the fishing boats in Yuanpu catch the moonlight.

The pine path between the bridge and the temple gate is small, and the threshold is clear as the spring.

The green trees and rivers are far away, the sky is late, the red clouds are red, the sun is clear, and the sun is clear.

Looking at the clouds and water on all sides, the snow peaks are as light as gulls.

The light gull counts the snow on the thousand peaks, and the water meets the clouds and looks around.

On a sunny day, Xiaoxia is red and misty, and in the evening, the river trees are green.

The Qingbo Stone Eye Spring is the threshold, and the path is opposite to the bridge of Songmen Temple.

The bright moon is far away from fishing boats and Yupu, and the snow waves on the mountains and snow follow the tide secretly. "

"When you take a test to write poetry, you take the test to write poetry. Can't you write some normal rhythm?"

"Fortunately, I found someone to write a few such good sour poems, now it's all right, palindromic poems?"

"It's the first time I've seen a bastard who writes poems like this, my 300 taels of silver, woo woo woo."
