Chapter 126 Long time no see
Qi Junqi was in a very good mood every day and sent Leng Yue back to the princess's mansion early.
Gu Qingyu hurried back to Kyoto before the autumn examination.
At present, many students have gathered in Kyoto City, and it is very lively for a while.
Many unmarried young ladies could not help but wear hats or veils during the day and go out for a walk to see if there were any talented students they liked.
Many dignitaries or royal relatives would also take this opportunity to recruit talented students in advance.
This was the first time Qi Yue encountered such a big event, and he was quite interested in it.
She changed into simple clothes, put on a hat, and went out with He Xiang and Leng Yue.
After Gu Qingyu entered the palace and reported to Qi Junqi, he went home to bathe and dress up before going to the princess's mansion with gifts.
As Qi Yue turned right from the street, Gu Qingyu turned in from the left and arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion.
The doorman was quite embarrassed to see him coming in with lots of bags in high spirits.
"Your servant greets Young Marquis Gu. Our princess has just gone out and is not in the mansion now."
Gu Qingyu stamped his feet and complained, "It's all my fault. I took so long to take a bath. Damn it! I missed the princess again..."
The doorman said, "How about Master Gu go in and wait. Maybe the princess will be back soon!"
Gu Qingyu: "Do you know where the princess went?"
The servant scratched his head and said, "I heard from Aunt He Xiang that she seemed to have gone to Fu Man Lou..."
"You guys send the things in, I will go to Fumanlou to look for the princess."
Before the servant could finish his words, Gu Qingyu impatiently said something else, jumped on the horse excitedly, whipped the horse and ran away.
The servant stood there in a daze: "...tea house."
Inside the Baiwei Teahouse next to Fumanlou.
As soon as Qi Yue and the other two entered the store, a waiter walked up to them and asked respectfully, "Miss, would you like a private room?"
He Xiang took out a bag of silver and handed it over: "I want the one with the best view."
The waiter took the purse cheerfully and thought about it inconspicuously, "Miss, please follow me to the second floor and take a seat."
The three of them followed him upstairs and sat down. The view was indeed very good, and they could observe the first floor and the private room opposite almost from all angles.
After the waiter served tea and pastries and left, more and more students came to the first floor.
Qi Yue took off her hat and sat in a position where her face was blocked by the window sill. People outside could not see her face, but she could see the people downstairs clearly.
Today, Baiwei Tower held a poetry appreciation meeting before the autumn examination, and Xie Yun came here with his classmates.
When he arrived, he found that Cui Xun, the prince of Ningyuan County, was also there. Cui Xun and Xie Yun had always been at odds with each other. Ever since Xie Yun came to the academy, Cui Xun had repeatedly surpassed Xie Yun in academics.
He is obviously a wild kid who grew up in the countryside, but he is so ignorant and doesn't know how to restrain his edge.
The autumn examination was approaching, and he was determined to use the poetry gathering to dampen Xie Yun's enthusiasm.
Cui Xun winked at his lackeys, and almost half of the people who were originally interacting with him turned their attention to Xie Yun.
But Xie Yun was not afraid at all. He answered each question fluently and made his responses to everyone's poems almost impeccable.
Qi Yue was becoming more and more interested in watching the show while sitting upstairs, and couldn't help asking He Xiang to take out some melon seeds to eat.
Cui Xun's face downstairs became worse and worse, and his lackeys gradually became unable to cope with the situation and began to sweat profusely.
Until the last lackey was defeated, the crowd burst into thunderous applause and praise.
"The second son of the Xie family is indeed very talented!"
"As expected, he is the grandson of Prime Minister Xie!"
"The disciple is better than the master!"
"In my opinion, this year's top scholar must be Second Young Master Xie!"
“…”
Listening to everyone's praise for Xie Yun, Cui Xun's face turned as dark as ink, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The lackey beside him retreated when no one was paying attention, and after a while, brought him a cup of tea.
Cui Xun suppressed the expression on his face and smiled heartily, "Brother Xie is indeed a talented person. I am willing to admit that I am inferior to him. In the past, I have always overestimated my abilities. I hope Brother Xie can put aside the past grudges and forgive me."
"Thank you, brother. Please—"
Xie Yun looked at him suspiciously and did not take the tea.
Cui Xun smiled slightly when he saw this, raised his hand and drank the tea in the cup first, "Brother Xie, are you unwilling to forgive me?"
Qi Yue, who was sitting there, saw everything clearly. The lackey had already put drugs in Xie Yun's cup.
She opened her lips and whispered, "Leng Yue, break that cup of tea."
Leng Yue leaned against the window, holding a stone in her hand, and threw it at the teacup in Xie Yun's hand, breaking the cup before he raised his hand.
The teacup shattered, and everyone was shocked. Cui Xun's eyes were instantly filled with anger. He looked up and shouted, "Who is causing this trouble?"
I saw a slender hand as white as jade stretched out from the window, and the white jade-colored silk handkerchief in the hand accidentally fell down.
A soft voice as beautiful as jade and pearls rang out: "Please, Second Young Master, help me pick up the handkerchief."
When Xie Yun heard the familiar voice, his eyes lit up with joy. He strode forward and stared at the falling handkerchief without moving.
The friends around him looked at each other as if they had seen a ghost. This boy usually wouldn't even look at a girl's hair, and wouldn't even go to a brothel, yet he was acting so abnormal today.
Cui Xun looked at Xie Yun's nervous expression and couldn't help but smile. He winked at the lackeys around him, trying to push Xie Yun away and grab the handkerchief himself.
As if he had anticipated this, Qi Yue spoke calmly, "Except for Second Young Master Xie, if anyone else snatches the handkerchief, I will chop off that person's hand and feed it to the dogs."
Leng Yue's voice sounded with a chill: "Yes, Miss."
She held a sword in her arms, exposing her body completely, and stared coldly at the people below.
Cui Xun felt that the gaze was as cold as an icy weapon, with a hint of murderous aura, and his scalp suddenly felt tingling.
The lackeys swallowed unconsciously and took two steps back.
The handkerchief fell into Xie Yun's palm. He held the handkerchief carefully and put it to his nose. When he smelled the familiar fragrance, he couldn't help but feel happy and walked towards the stairs with his long legs.
The friends behind him looked at each other in bewilderment, as if to say: This... this guy was brought out for a trip, and he was seduced away by another girl? What should we do? Will Master Xie kill them to vent his anger?
When they thought of Xie Lao's cold and cruel look, they were instantly horrified and filled with fear.
When they arrived at the door of the private room on the second floor, Xie Yun's hand holding the handkerchief was a little nervous, and hesitating whether to knock on the door.
The next second, the door of the private room opened from the inside, and He Xiang said in surprise: "It turns out to be Master A Yun, please come in."
After everyone went in, she tactfully pulled Leng Yue out as well.
When only Qi Yue and Xie Yun were left in the private room, he felt a little embarrassed and at a loss.
"Ah... Ah Man, long time no see, I..."
...I miss you so much.
