Chapter 83 and Crown

Xie Cijing instantly stood up from the stone bench, turned his waist and dodged the oncoming fist. His brows were furrowed, and the next moment, the sound of breaking air was heard again. Rong Jinchen leaped up with a sharp look in his eyes, raised his leg and swept it across to hit him in the face. Xie Cijing narrowly avoided it by relying on his intuition.

Even a clay man has a temper. Rong Jinchen hit him in the face again and again. Even though he was His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, Xie Cijing didn't want to endure it anymore.

He has also wanted to beat Rong Jinchen for a long time.

In the fierce hand-to-hand combat, one could vaguely hear the crackling of bones. The fists and feet of both men were as hard as steel, wrapped in gusts of wind, whistling out, and the dull wind from the fists fell on their bodies, causing their hair to fly.

The two men, each with their own unique looks, were filled with anger in their eyes, their gazes were deep and dark, as black as ink. Rong Jinchen's lips were tightened, and he suddenly greeted Xie Cijing's face.

Xie Cijing was also aroused with anger. He suddenly kicked out with a sweeping kick towards Rong Jinchen's lower body. As expected, Rong Jinchen dodged it and the man laughed sarcastically with disdain.

Rong Jinchen's eyes flushed red, he pursed his thin lips, and attacked with more and more force. He actually dared to attack him in such a way. Xie Cijing, huh...

When the love rivals met, they were extremely jealous of each other. Rong Jinchen and Xie Cijing fought back and forth without using their internal energy, and they had exchanged dozens of moves in a flash.

Bang bang, the sound of fists hitting flesh and bones is so deafening.

Gu Heng and Gu Cheng's eyes almost fell to the ground. When did their prince become so down-to-earth?

Actually fighting in close combat?

Also, why do they always want to punch each other in the face?

Can you still greet the three lower directions?

Take it easy!

Although Xie Cijing has practiced martial arts for many years, he has never experienced the baptism of battle, so it is normal that he cannot defeat Rong Jinchen. (The author is not good at writing about fighting, so I will give you my opinion.)

Even without using internal energy or weapons, Rong Jinchen defeated him in the end.

Rong Jinchen did not kill him. They were not on the battlefield, and he would not kill Xie Cijing.

Otherwise, what if he turns into Bai Yueguang?

Xie Cijing looked at Rong Jinchen, who was tightly holding his neck with his palm. Veins popped out on his forehead, and his fair and handsome face flushed. "You win, Your Highness Prince Yan."

Rong Jinchen hinted at something and emphasized: "This king has never been defeated." And he will always win.

So Xie Cijing is as far away as possible.

Don't think he doesn't know that Xie Cijing wants to fight him.

The results of the imperial examination have been released, and Gu Hanyue's younger brother Gu Wenmin performed exceptionally well and ranked fifth.

Gu Hanyan's marriage has not been decided yet. After all, Gu Hanyue was reluctant to arrange a marriage for her sister into a wealthy family.

Moreover, as the reform was in progress, she did not dare to hold the Su family back, so Gu Hanyan's marriage was still undecided.

During this period, there were many wealthy and powerful families who came to propose marriage on behalf of their second sons, and there were also many royal and marquisate palaces.

But Gu Hanyue didn't dare to make it on her own originally, not to mention that her father-in-law is now the chief minister of the cabinet and is about to implement reforms, so she is afraid of holding them back.

But she was a little uneasy. Her younger sister seemed to be dazzled by the wealth of the Su family. She said that she would postpone the marriage and talk about it in a few months. She wanted her to stay in the Su family for a while first.

Gu Hanyan looked a little unhappy, and Gu Hanyue hoped that she was overthinking it.

Time flies, and the grand palace examination surrounding the reform has come to an end.

This year's Qionglin Banquet was not as good as the previous two. Although the top scholar had handsome features, he was already over 30 years old and had both a son and a daughter. The third place scholar had a handsome appearance, red lips and white teeth. Fortunately, the third place scholar was not married yet and was only in his early twenties.

Tanhua Lang, the only unmarried scholar among the top three, soon became a hot commodity in the capital.

This popular young lady fell into the royal family's hands and became the emperor's disciple and then the son-in-law of the royal family.

Because the third place winner supported the reform to a great extent, had outstanding policy proposals, and was also handsome, Rong Yue selected him as the third place winner.

The emperor was even so pleased that he was ready to arrange a marriage between him and his own princess, but he had not yet decided which princess it would be.

The top scholar naturally supports the reform. Rong Yue holds great power, is unpopular, and does not support the reform. The second scholar with similar ability is naturally the second scholar.

When the ministers saw your majesty's action, they either loved him and wished him alive or hated him and they dared not say a word.

They had previously secretly spread rumors about the Su family being a vixen, and were given a hard time by His Majesty.

Now he is very honest and dares not speak.

The tender willow buds gradually sprouted, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was April 20th, the day when Rong Jinchen came of age.

Rong Jinchen's coming-of-age ceremony was not held in the royal ancestral temple, but in the Taiji Hall. Apart from Crown Prince Rong Jinyou, the only other person to have this honor was Rong Jinchen.

Rong Yue was even very pleased and ordered Su Zhenzhen to watch the ceremony as well. How could his own son not know what he was thinking?

Everyone thought that His Royal Highness Prince Yan had always been favored, from childhood to adulthood, so it was not surprising.

After all, His Majesty only has two legitimate sons, so it's not surprising at all.

Damn!

Your Majesty, you are too partial!

If it weren't for the fact that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan wanted to be with someone for the rest of his life, who wouldn't suspect that Your Majesty wanted to pass the throne to him?

That's too much.

Prince Jin Rong Jinyu was naturally very upset, but Rong Jinyou didn't take it to heart. The third prince, who had no sense of existence, still had no sense of existence.

Rong Jinchen invited Su Yu to be the guest of honor, which moved Su Yu to tears. It turned out that he was actually a friend of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan?

He looked at Rong Jinchen expectantly. He hadn't spoken to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan much in the past month, probably because he was busy flirting with his sister. "Your Highness, you are so kind to me." Su Yu blinked at Rong Jinchen with her peach blossom eyes.

Rong Jinchen's eyes flashed with disdain. Qingqing and Su Yu had the same peach blossom eyes, so why did Su Yu act so rudely? Qingqing was still cute and charming. He said impatiently, "Don't think too much, because you are Qingqing's second brother, my second uncle." He was not familiar with the eldest uncle, so he could only be the second uncle.

Su Yu felt that his sincerity was misplaced after all!

The Taiji Hall is magnificent, and the beams and pillars carved with dragons and painted with phoenixes are majestic and solemn. The sound of ritual music adds a festive atmosphere to the palace where courts are usually held, demonstrating the love of the ruler of the world for his favorite second son.

It was a clear and sunny day. The warm spring breeze passed through the spacious and luxurious palace, adding a bit of warmth to the cool interior.

The standards of Rong Jinchen's coming-of-age ceremony were only slightly lower than those of the Crown Prince, and they were vaguely on par.

The invited ministers of the royal family were all shocked. Your Majesty, what on earth are you trying to do?

Or do you like legitimate sons so much?

Doesn't that mean there is no hope for Prince Jin's faction?

There was a slightly cold expression on the handsome and elegant face of Jin Wang Rong Jinyu, but he did not dare to show his displeasure. His coming-of-age ceremony was held in the ancestral temple.

Rong Jinyu was unwilling to accept the fact that his father only had eyes for his two legitimate sons.

Isn’t he the emperor’s son?

Throughout history, how many princes have failed to succeed to the throne?

Since ancient times, the eldest son of the legitimate wife has been the heir apparent, and he didn't believe that he wouldn't have the last laugh.

Since ancient times, the throne has been held by the capable, and he has this confidence.
