"Today, everyone is willing to come here as promised. I would like to offer a toast to each of you."

Su Lanlan raised the cup in her hand, and Su Yangxu leaned back in his seat and casually raised the cup in his hand as well.

Su Yangxu was upset. Although Jiang Tunan was a little dark, he looked good and was delicate and cute. He wanted to find an opportunity to take action today, but was warned by Su Lanlan.

Jiang Tunan is the cousin of the Minister of Rites. Now that Xiao Huaimin's side is unclear, he must not offend the Xiao family at this critical juncture. What's more, Jiang Tunan is accompanied by Qi Guanming, the prince of Guangping. Su Yangxu had to give up.

Su Lanlan saw Su Yangxu's listless look from the corner of her eye and knew what he was thinking. She was filled with contempt, as her brother never did his job properly.

If my brother got into trouble in front of me, and my grandfather knew that I didn't stop him, I would definitely punish him.

"Since it is a poetry gathering, there must be poetry. I wonder..."

"I have recently created a new work for you all. I wish you all the best in the imperial examinations and success in the exams."

Leng Qingyan stood up directly, still maintaining the air of a cold beauty. Su Lanlan was not upset by the interruption and generously gave the main stage to Leng Qingyan.

"Miss Leng, please."

Leng Qingyan nodded slightly to Su Lanlan, and Su Lanlan smiled back, but after passing by Leng Qingyan, she quickly put away her smile.

"The precious sword moves the stars, the golden saddle neighs. Hold the five-color pen and win the championship."

When Leng Qingyan finished reading the poem, there were voices of praise from the audience.

"What a poem, what a poem!"

"As expected of Miss Leng, her reputation is well-deserved!"

Leng Qingyan accepted everyone's praise, and Ye Ruxuan also looked at Jiang Tunan with a little pride.

Jiang Tunan was speechless. Did these two people treat her as an imaginary enemy? Although there was nothing to blame, it was really unnecessary.

"Miss Leng has always been known as a talented woman. I wonder who will be able to take over next."

"It seems that Li Ze is the only one left."

There was a discussion at the table. Jiang Tunan heard the key name Li Ze. While he was still wondering who this person was, he saw a neatly dressed student stand up.

"Miss Leng is extremely talented, so it seems that we shouldn't fall too far behind."

The man had a healthy tan skin and an average appearance, but his brows revealed confidence.

"Sister, who is this guy? He looks very powerful."

Jiang Tunan noticed that the girl next to him looked like a fangirl, so he asked carefully. The girl was also stunned for a moment, and then said,

"You are talking about him. He is Li Ze, a student of the Imperial Academy. He is amazing. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, he is also a kind person."

The girl has a pair of bright eyes, a round face, and every move she makes is lively and cute.

"It's normal that you don't know since you just came to Kyoto. Li Ze is a hot candidate for the Spring Examination this year, and he is a very good person. I just don't know what kind of woman will be worthy of him in the future."

Jiang Tunan understood in his heart that the girl in front of him must like Li Ze very much. Fortunately, she didn't say anything bad about Li Ze just now.

"By the way, my name is Ye Ruzhen."

Jiang Tunan was thinking.

"Ye Ruzhen? Then Ye Ruxuan is you?"

"Ye Ruxuan is my half-sister, and I am her legitimate sister."

Seeing Jiang Tunan looking uncomfortable, Ye Ruzhen smiled and said,

"Don't be nervous. Ye Ruxuan and I don't have a good relationship. Besides, I felt really good when you scolded her just now. This damn girl deserves a lesson."

Jiang Tunan was amused by Ye Ruzhen.

"Yeah, I also think she deserves a lesson."

Ye Ruzhen wanted to say a few words to Jiang Tunan, but when she heard Li Ze speak, she immediately returned to her previous fangirl look and looked at Li Ze intently.

Jiang Tunan: ...

"I have long cherished lofty ambitions, and I am burdened with your grace in this world. Today, I have borrowed the good wind to help me soar into the sky."

Li bowed to everyone at the table, and everyone responded strongly, clapping and cheering.

Jiang Tunan was speechless. In her opinion, this man's poems were full of the feeling of a villain succeeding in his career. To be honest, he was not as good as Leng Qingyan.

"How's it going? Isn't it awesome!"

Ye Ruzhen nudged Jiang Tunan with her elbow, and Jiang Tunan could only force a smile and answer,

"Yeah, that's pretty good haha."

When Li Ze finished his poem, Jiang Tunan rolled his eyes and lay on the table, too lazy to listen.

Qi Guanming saw that Jiang Tunan was not in a good mood, so he planned to take Jiang Tunan away early.

"I lay on my pillow at night, thinking deeply, lying alone with the dim lamp on as the night goes on.

I am deeply worried that my hair will turn white with the world, and I don’t know when my belt will turn yellow.

People say that there will be three jumps after death, I want to do one before I die.

Even though my name is not well known, my heart is still alive. I will continue to read articles by candlelight. "

During the banquet, another student stood up. He looked much better than Li Ze, but there were several patches on his student uniform, indicating that he did not come from a well-off family.

Jiang Tunan perked up. The poems written by this guy were much better than those written by Li Ze just now.

"Good poem! Who is your name?"

Su Lanlan asked with a smile, and the scholar bowed.

"My name is Mu Wuhuan, and I am a candidate this year."

Ye Ruzhen seemed to be thinking about something.

"Mu Wuhuan, seems to be the champion last year?"

Jiang Tunan: Turns out he’s a top student.

Li Ze watched as Mu Wuhuan stole most of his limelight and secretly clenched his fists.

"By the way, you stole Leng Qingyan's limelight at the welcoming banquet before, and she won't let it go. She is a very stingy person, so you should be careful with her in the future."

Ye Ruzhen turned her head and reminded Jiang Tunan. Jiang Tunan nodded to show that he understood.

"Thank you sister, my name is Jiang Tunan."

Ye Ruzhen waved her hand.

"I know, you are Jiang Tunan, the cousin of the Xiao family. We have all heard about what happened to you at the welcoming banquet. Now everyone knows about your existence."

"That's it..."

Jiang Tunan found that she really didn't know how to chat, and once again the conversation died down.

"What a good thing. Even though your name is unknown, your heart is still immortal. I will read the article by candlelight!"

The voice came from outside. There were several people standing at the door, led by a handsome man wearing a dark bamboo white robe. He had a knife-like jawline (? ), upturned eyes, and a pair of eyes that were captivating.

Jiang Tunan: Wuhu, handsome guy!

"Meng Jingchen, what are you doing here?"

Su Yangxu jumped up from his seat. This man has a lot of ulterior motives. He is here for no good!

Meng Jingchen replied lazily,

"The Su family is holding a poetry gathering today, so of course I have to join in the fun."

"If you are invited, just come. Don't be ashamed."

Su Yangxu murmured quietly, but Su Lanlan grabbed his arm.

"Brother, if you don't want the Meng family and the Su family to fight for eight hundred rounds in the court tomorrow, I advise you to restrain yourself."

Su Yangxu felt a little pain and was about to lose his temper, but after hearing what Su Lanlan said, he restrained his temper.

“Why, the Su family doesn’t even have stools to entertain guests?”

Meng Yao behind Meng Jingchen also echoed,

"Brother is right. It's impossible that he is targeting us on purpose."

Su Lanlan could hardly maintain the smile on her face, but she still gritted her teeth and said politely,

"Mr. Meng, Miss Meng, please take a seat."

Meng Yao walked into the banquet with a reluctant look on her face, and Meng Jingchen just smiled and followed the servants to take a seat.

Jiang Tunan quickly pulled Ye Ruzhen to eat melon.

"Who is this person?"

Ye Ruzhen grabbed a handful of dried fruits from the table and handed them to Jiang Tunan.

"This is Meng Jingchen, the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion. His father is the Minister of Personnel, his eldest aunt is the most favored Concubine Li, and the Minister of Revenue is his uncle."

Jiang Tunan exclaimed in admiration.

"Isn't this person's background more powerful than that of Master Su?"

"Who says it isn't?"

Ye Ruzhen ate a mouthful of dried fruit and mumbled something in her mouth.

"Anyway, let's just stay away. When gods fight, mortals suffer."

Jiang Tunan agreed deeply. She didn't expect to meet such like-minded sisters here.

"Zhenzhen, you are my soulmate!"

Jiang Tunan excitedly held Ye Ruzhen's hand, and Ye Ruzhen also held Jiang Tunan's hand in return.

"Yes, from now on, you are my good friend, Xiaonan!"
