Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

The third day of March is Shangsi Festival.

At the same time, today is also the day when the emperor will hold the Qionglin Banquet.

Qionglin Garden, beside the winding water, is surrounded by flowers and full of spring, creating a lively and prosperous scene.

Even more lively than the scenery is the scene of people sitting around toasting their glasses and chatting.

Three days ago, the palace examination ended, the top three on the gold list were selected, and this year's imperial examination officially came to an end.

Those present at the Qionglin Banquet were the outstanding winners of the imperial examination.

In addition to them, many important court officials also attended the banquet.

Naturally, the emperor, who is at the center of the banquet, is the indispensable and important role today.

There are four proud things in life. For a scholar, getting one’s name on the list of successful candidates in the imperial examination must be the most proud and joyful one.

When meeting the current emperor, these new scholars were all full of confidence.

All of them had rosy faces, which made them extremely eye-catching, causing the palace maids passing by to always look in their direction.

The palace maids' attention was focused on the three seats closest to the front and the emperor in the audience.

Needless to say, I can guess that the people sitting there must be the top three this year.

The runner-up was a little older, about thirty years old, with a steady demeanor, and a hint of joy in his eyes that he could not hide.

He has an ordinary appearance, not ugly.

After all, those who come to the court to meet the emperor cannot have any flaws on their faces, at least their facial features must be regular.

But he definitely couldn't be called good-looking. However, as the runner-up, talent was enough, and appearance was not important.

If you have it, it will be icing on the cake; if you don’t have it, it won’t have any impact.

The contrast between Tanhua and him is a bit strong.

He looked very young, probably just coming of age, with a handsome face, elegant eyes and eyebrows, and a pink and white peony inserted in his ear, which made him look even more elegant.

"As expected of a third place winner who is famous for his looks."

The other guests in the audience looked at Tanhualang and praised him.

But when their attention shifted to the number one scholar, they suddenly wanted to take back what they had said before.

Tanhualang, the man with a flower in his hair, in everyone's imagination, Tanhua must be the most handsome person among the successful Jinshi.

This year, however, this stubborn impression in their hearts was broken.

It was really that the top scholar Liu Gao was too eye-catching.

He was born with a good appearance, cheeks as white as jade, eyes like bright stars, and a tall and slender figure, upright and elegant, like an unyielding green bamboo, full of character.

The bright red top scholar's uniform made her features even more picturesque.

There was a bright red peony pinned on his hat; although its color was gorgeous, under his clear eyes, it was as bright and clear as a sunny day.

It is said that on the day of the palace examination, the emperor had not even seen her answer sheet, but as soon as he saw his appearance, he had the idea of ​​appointing him as the third place.

When he finished answering the questions, the ministers who reviewed the papers found that his talent was even more eye-catching than his appearance.

Under the strong opposition of the right prime minister, the emperor changed his mind and awarded him the first place in the imperial examination, which is now known as the top scholar.

In fact, the top scholar was the most handsome one among these scholars.

Originally, the third place scholar looked handsome and good-looking, but after seeing the first place scholar, the third place scholar's handsomeness and charm turned into a greasy and powdered face.

The cheeks, covered with a light layer of lead powder, were not naturally white, and could not compare to the clean and refreshing cheeks of the top scholar.

Not to mention that the top scholar is humble, tactful, and gentle, like a breeze.

Even if a palace maid was distracted and accidentally spilled the wine, he did not get angry. He smiled and tried to comfort the maid, not caring about the difference in status at all.

How could anyone not like such a bright and handsome person?

The current emperor likes good-looking people even more, and he praised him on the day of the palace examination.

At the banquet, she was generous in showing her love for the number one scholar and would reward him with gifts from time to time.

On the field, the atmosphere was just right and it was a lively time.

There was a sudden commotion outside. Everyone held their breath and remained silent. Soon, the voice of a palace maid was heard.

"Princess Showa has arrived."

"Greetings to my father."

A voice came from the room, which was cold but could not conceal its arrogance.

Everyone turned their eyes to look at the scene, and some people couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

It’s not their fault, the people who came really didn’t look like ordinary people.

She wore a golden nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on her hair. On the end of each tassel hanging from the hairpin was a flaming pigeon blood ruby.

Her facial features were overly delicate, with upturned eyes, which gave off a strong charm in her beautiful black pupils.

The skin is snow-white, the lips are bright red and plump, and the color contrast is strong, giving a strong visual impact.

She clearly had an alluring look, but she slightly raised her chin, her eyes indifferent, and she was born with the contempt of a person in a high position for everyone else, which suppressed her seductive charm.

Such luxury and arrogance made many scholars in the audience curious about the person's identity.

All the court officials knew the identity of the visitor—the daughter of the late queen, Princess Showa, Yuan Jing.

The eldest princess was not very famous in the past few years. It was only after the fall of the imperial concubine in recent years that she appeared in the public eye.

When no one knew about it, she was very unknown and almost no one knew there was such a person in the palace.

But when she appeared in front of everyone, she quickly announced her presence to the entire capital.

The title of Princess Showa, countless rewards and treasures, and a rich fiefdom...

Among them, some are due to the compensatory psychology of the current emperor, and some are because the emperor naturally likes people with beautiful appearance.

Speaking of beautiful appearance, everyone thinks of the top scholar.

Come to think of it, the two seem to have quite a few similarities.

Their eyes seemed to be inadvertently looking back and forth between the top scholar Liu Gao and the eldest princess Yuan Jing.

The eldest princess especially loved red clothes. She was wearing one embroidered with warm phoenix flowers in gold thread, which looked like the scorching sun and made her look unparalleled in beauty.

It just so happened that the top scholar's uniform Liu Yao was wearing was also red.

Their looks are both unparalleled in the world, and when they stand together, one can only describe them as a perfect match.

The red dress she was wearing looked like the wedding dress that newlyweds wear.

Everyone sighed in their hearts, but no one dared to actually say that they were going to find a man for the princess.

"They are such a perfect match. Look, don't they look like a loving couple?"

Who spoke out what was in their hearts?

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice in surprise, and found that the person speaking was the emperor. Their surprised expressions immediately turned into approval.

"Yes, they are a perfect match."

"A talented man and a beautiful woman, they are a perfect match. How can they look like a loving couple?"

"Your Majesty's eyesight is still as sharp as ever. From what I see, they really look like a rare and perfect couple."

"..."

"Hahahahaha."

The emperor, sitting in the center, was delighted by the court officials.

He stared at Liu Hao for a long time, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly turned his head, looked at Yuan Jing and said:

"Ah Jing, you are not young anymore. In my opinion, the number one scholar is a good match for you."
