Chapter 173 Heart to Heart
They all wanted to become officials in the court through this competition, so they spontaneously organized a competition and agreed that only the winner would be qualified to see King Rui.
The rules of the game are as follows: two players play against each other, and the winner advances to the next round until the first place is chosen. Anyone who is dissatisfied with the final result can declare war on the first place again.
The Imperial College competition is about to begin, and no one wants to miss this opportunity to become an official in the court.
When Bu Yuxuan and Bu Yujie heard the news, they were furious. They had originally wanted to rely on people they knew to make changes in the academy, but now even people they knew well started to fight for it.
Until dark, the competition at the Imperial College had not yet ended, and the students spontaneously agreed to continue it the next day.
It was already late at night when Zhai Yun sneaked back to Prince Rui's Mansion. After confirming several times that no one was following her, Zhai Yun took a detour back to Prince Rui's Mansion. As soon as she entered the mansion, she saw Qi Nuo waiting there.
Qi Nuo came forward and handed Zhai Yun a cloak: "Young Master, the prince is waiting for you at Yunchen Pavilion."
Yunchen Pavilion is close, but Tingyuxuan is a little further away. Zhai Yun also felt tired, so she went to Feng Chenyi's place to rest first.
When Zhai Yun arrived at Yunchen Pavilion, it was surrounded by guards. Qi Nuo followed her and stopped at the door. Inside Yunchen Pavilion, Feng Chenyi was sitting in the waterside pavilion, skillfully brewing tea. As soon as Zhai Yun sat down, a cup of hot liquid was handed to her.
Zhai Yun took a sip and found that there was wine in her glass, hot wine. As the wine entered her throat, a warmth flowed from her throat to her abdomen, and the fatigue from rushing on the journey was slightly relieved.
"Are you tired?" Feng Chenyi's voice sounded softly. Zhai Yun raised her eyes and saw Feng Chenyi pouring her a cup of tea.
Zhai Yun slowly put down the wine glass filled with warmth, feeling warm in her heart: "Not tired."
The years she spent doing business abroad were much more tiring than this. Now that he was by her side, and she could drink the wine he cooked for her when she came back, all her fatigue disappeared.
Feng Chenyi filled Zhai Yun's glass with wine and remained silent. Zhai Yun picked up the glass and took another sip. She wanted to wait for Feng Chenyi to ask her about the Imperial College, but Feng Chenyi did not speak for a long time.
Zhai Yun had no choice but to explain, "Things at the Imperial College are going smoothly. The two young masters of the Bu family have been confined to their homes. I tempted those people with positions, and they rushed to get in, not daring to hide anything!"
After listening to Zhai Yun's statement, Feng Chenyi said calmly, "I believe you."
He didn't doubt Zhai Yun's ability at all. He even felt that Zhai Yun was much better than him. There was nothing in the world that could stump Zhai Yun, so he was very confident in her doing things and he didn't even need to ask.
He just didn't want her to worry about so many things.
When Zhai Yun mentioned the position, Feng Chenyi only said, "I believe you!" Zhai Yun was a little puzzled. Didn't he understand what she said?
He had secretly promised the group of people from the Imperial College that if they won, he would help them get official positions in front of Emperor Xing'an.
Zhai Yun looked at Feng Chenyi and was just about to tell him about the promise she had made to the students of the Imperial College.
"Since you agreed, there is no problem. As long as they win, I will take care of the official positions." Feng Chenyi replied.
There was no point in Zhai Yun saying anything anymore. She had already promised those people. If Feng Chenyi didn't agree, wouldn't he abandon her?
Feng Chenyi did not blame her for taking the initiative and agreed without hesitation. This gave Zhai Yun a great sense of security, and she felt more confident when speaking in front of those students.
After all, she represents Prince Rui, and she is also the young master of Prince Rui's mansion, a true young master!
Qi Nuo brought the hot meal. Zhai Yun smelled the fragrance and realized that she had not eaten yet. She took the soup from Qi Nuo without hesitation and started drinking it.
After Qi Nuo served Zhai Yun's bowl, he filled another bowl and handed it to Feng Chenyi, respectfully handing him the chopsticks.
Zhai Yun looked at Feng Chenyi chewing his food slowly and then looked at Qi Nuo in confusion: "Brother Yi, haven't you eaten yet?"
Normally, Feng Chenyi wouldn't eat anything else after dinner. Now it was almost bedtime, and logically he didn't like to eat at this time.
When Qi Nuo heard Zhai Yun ask this, he replied, "The prince has instructed the kitchen to keep the food hot and waiting for you."
Normally, the prince and the young master would eat together, but the young master was suddenly not at the table. Not only was the prince not used to it, but even Qi Nuo, who was standing nearby, was not used to it.
After hearing this, Zhai Yun looked at Feng Chenyi who was drinking the soup carefully, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart. Although Feng Chenyi had always been very good to her, it was always easy for such touched emotions to get out of hand.
Zhai Yun sniffed, picked up a large chicken drumstick from the soup and put it into Feng Chenyi's bowl, saying with a smile, "Eat more, it's good to replenish your body."
Qi Nuo, who was standing aside, stepped back with a smile. Feng Chenyi was stunned for a moment when he saw the chicken leg that suddenly appeared in the bowl, then picked it up and started eating. He had a deep impression that when he was a child, his mother also liked to put chicken legs in his bowl, and then watch him eat with a gentle smile.
Zhai Yun looked at Feng Chenyi eating the chicken leg and felt happier than if she were eating it herself.
It was already late at night after dinner. Feng Chenyi stood up and went back to his room to make the bed himself and get the quilt. Then he came back and told Zhai Yun: "Sleep here tonight."
Although Zhai Yun had never rested in the Yunchen Pavilion before, she saw that Feng Chenyi had prepared everything and did not refuse. Like most of the time, they lay on the same bed, sleeping in separate quilts.
Zhai Yun felt that Feng Chenyi spoke particularly little tonight. They hadn't seen each other for a whole day and should have had a lot to say, but he said nothing.
Even when Zhai Yun told him about her experience in the Imperial College, he just believed that Zhai Yun could do a good job.
When Feng Chenyi turned off the lights and returned to bed, Zhai Yun couldn't help but call out to him, "Brother Yi."
In the darkness, Zhai Yun could hear Feng Chenyi's movements. He climbed onto the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and looked into the darkness with his arms as a pillow. He softly replied, "Yeah."
"What were discussed in the court today? You have been staying in the palace since you came back. Haven't you gone out?" Zhai Yun asked softly.
The night was very quiet, and only the sound of breathing could be heard when no one was talking. The room was warm, not cold at all, and the quilt was warm, as if it had body temperature.
Zhai Yun didn't know how she fell asleep.
The competition with Xuanyuan Kingdom will be held the day after tomorrow. Today, the Imperial College is still tense. After several rounds of competition, there is still some distance to go before the first place is determined.
The six subjects were tested at the same time, and each student could challenge all six subjects. Zhai Yun stood in the dark and observed. No one dared to challenge Zhai Yun because they knew in their hearts that they were no match for Zhai Yun in terms of archery.
There are more people crowding into music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
