Marry the God of War Lord after rebirth

Chapter 4 Going to Qionglin Banquet

It doesn't matter if Lin Xingzhi decides whether to make Chu Zhao the princess or not, and it doesn't matter if the Zhou family decides. After all, Chu Zhao is a prince and is of royal blood, so he can marry as he pleases.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhou loved her son. Seeing that Lin Xingzhi looked serious and not joking, she agreed to write a letter to Lin's father at the border to ask for him.

Mentioning Lin's father, Zhou sighed sadly, "Your father and your second brother have been away for several years, and I don't know when they will come back."

Hearing this, Lin Xingzhi thought about what happened at the border soon, his eyes flickered, and he said to Zhou: "Hurry up, father and second brother will be back soon."

Although Zhou looked forward to the return of her husband and son, she dismissed Lin Xingzhi's behavior of talking nonsense, "Okay, go back to your own nursery to rest, so that you can have a baby. Three days later You still have to go to the palace for a banquet, so you can't make a mistake."

Zhou started to chase people away, and Lin Xingzhi was really tired, so he left obediently.

When he was studying, he liked to be quiet, so the courtyard where he lived was in the east, named Begonia Garden, and the courtyard was full of begonias.

Every year in early summer, when the flowers bloom, the courtyard will be filled with fragrance when the wind blows. That is also his favorite season.

Before approaching, Lin Xingzhi from a distance saw a person standing at the arch, looking around, and when he saw the person, he immediately rushed over, "Master!"

This is his servant, Shi Yan.

She has been by his side since she was a child, grew up with him, and died in the palace with him.

It was Shi Yan who fought with his life to hold back those who blocked him, so he had the opportunity to climb the roof, and finally jumped to die in front of the empress.

At this moment, Shi Yan was looking at him in circles to make sure he was not injured. Seeing that he was fine, he grinned and began to talk about what happened after he left with the people from Prince Li's Mansion.

Full of freshness.

Lin Xingzhi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and listened quietly to what he said about how the common people talked about him, and the attitude of the No. [-] and Tanhua who were parading with him in the street.

Shi Yan was quite aggrieved, "The young master was admitted to the top prize by his own ability, and even the emperor praised the young master for his good writing, but how did you become the young master in their mouths? That's why he deserves the champion."

"If His Royal Highness King Li has the ability to influence who will be the number one scholar, why should he be a sick child in the mansion? Hmph, they are just jealous, jealous that you are better than them, young master!"

Lin Xingzhi's smile deepened, and he touched Shi Yan's head, "You are smart, you can think of all this."

Shi Yan was very happy to be praised, and raised his chin happily, "They insist on talking nonsense about everything I can think of. These people, I still wonder what kind of route they took to get into the exam."

Lin Xingzhi and Shi Yan said as they walked, "I want to say it, and the louder the better, it's best that everyone can hear it, so that the goal can be achieved."

Tan Hualang was originally the prince's man, first spread a wave of rumors on the street, and then encouraged people to taunt and ridicule him at the Qionglin banquet, and the prince came out to be a hero to save the beauty, but it was all a well-designed situation.

"A dog that can bark doesn't bite, so don't pay attention to it. Your young master is not someone who can be knocked down with a few rumors."

Lin Xingzhi nodded with self-affirmation as he spoke, even if it was in the previous life, it will definitely not be the case in this life.

After entering the room and taking off his shoes, Lin Xingzhi climbed onto the bed, and told Shi Yan not to let anyone disturb him, and he would wake up naturally when he got enough sleep.

He needs a good night's sleep to calm down the excitement after being reborn, and he also needs to think carefully about how he should go in the future.

……

So, he slept soundly until the second day, and when he opened his eyes, he met Shi Yan's resentful and worried eyes.

Lin Xingzhi didn't come back to his senses, he sat up and asked Shi Yan anxiously, "Is... what happened?"

Lin Xingzhi held the quilt tightly with his hands, veins on the back of his hands, his body was tense, his eyes were fixed on Shi Yan for a moment, he was afraid, afraid that yesterday was just a dream, and when he woke up, the clouds and smoke would dissipate. Still he was alone.

But Lin Xingzhi's reaction frightened Shi Yan, he quickly waved his hands and shook his head, "Nothing happened, nothing happened, it's just that I'm a little worried, young master, since you fell asleep from yesterday afternoon to now."

Shi Yan originally wanted to complain to his young master, but he couldn't wake up after sleeping for so long. If he couldn't breathe smoothly and didn't have a fever, he would send someone to call for a doctor.

Everything yesterday was not a dream. Realizing this, Lin Xingzhi let out a heavy breath, and at the same time let go of the hand holding the quilt, as long as it was not a dream.

Shi Yan saw his young master's anxious face turned pale again, he also heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly waited for Lin Xingzhi to get up, get dressed and wash.

When he woke up, Lin Xingzhi knew that Shi Yan hadn't finished speaking, and he must have other things besides worrying about him.

Then, under his questioning, he learned that rumors about him being snatched back to the mansion by Chu Zhao to become a concubine had spread all over the sky, and the words that talked about him being played by Chu Zhao became more and more ugly.

As for the ugly method, Shi Yan refused to repeat what he said on the grounds that he did not want to dirty Lin Xingzhi's ears.

But Lin Xingzhi still heard it, and he heard it with his own ears when he went to the Qionglin Banquet.

In fact, the three days passed very quickly, because of the ugly rumors outside, Zhou was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable when he heard it, so not only did he not allow people in the house to speak in front of him, but he also did not allow Lin Xingzhi to go out.

So for the past three days, Lin Xingzhi nestled in the Begonia Garden, read two idle books, and teased the little girl who came to him to play. Perhaps it had been a long time since he was so relaxed and happy. I felt that the time was too fast, and three days passed by in the blink of an eye.

……

Today, Lin Xingzhi arrived late at the palace for the banquet, and he also arrived late on purpose. When he was led to the Changsheng Palace where the banquet was held by the servants, all the other new scholars had already arrived.

Before Lin Xingzhi entered, he heard someone ask, "Why hasn't the number one scholar arrived yet?"

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xingzhi heard someone snort in disdain, "I'm afraid I'm too busy serving the master, so I don't have the time to go to the banquet with us."

"Brother Meng said carefully, although Lin Zhuangyuan was robbed to Prince Li's mansion, he returned home safely not long after entering, and nothing will happen to His Highness Prince Li."

Some belittled him, and some spoke out to stop him, no matter if they were sincere or not.

Lin Xingzhi chose a good position at the door, so that he could see the people inside without letting them notice him, and stuffed some money for the servant who led the way, intending to watch more good shows at the door.

Seeing Tan Hualang speak out to persuade him, the man called Brother Meng was full of disdain, but he didn't speak anymore.

And if someone started, naturally there would be no less people who answered the conversation, otherwise the play would not be able to sing.

"How do you know that nothing happened? Everyone says that His Highness Li Wang likes to play with men the most. Our number one scholar is more handsome than a woman, and is the son of a great general. We must have met His Royal Highness Li early. What we should do is afraid It’s been done a long time ago.”

Someone sighed: "A Luan Chong who was favored by King Li, we are in the same class with such a miserable person, and let him get the first name, it is really humiliating to us."

"That's why Lin Xingzhi felt ashamed to meet people, so he didn't dare to come to the banquet."

"A man is robbed by another man in the street and taken back to the house to be a concubine. It is immoral and embarrassing. If it were me, I would hang him with a hemp rope, so as not to humiliate the family."

"They're all from the same subject, why do you bother to speak so harshly?"

"If it wasn't for his own embarrassment, where would others start? To blame, he can only blame himself for being shameless and willing to commit himself to a man for the name of the number one scholar."

"Talking about people behind their backs is a villain's behavior."

"Even if he is here, I dare to say it, but I am afraid that he will seduce a man himself and dare not be a man!"

All kinds of insults and belittling voices were occasionally mixed with a few words of dissuasion, but on the contrary, those people intensified their efforts to put shit on Lin Xingzhi's head.

Lin Xingzhi never showed up, and the serving maids all lowered their heads to act as invisible people. At first, someone took the lead to guide them, but later on, some people felt that belittling Lin Xingzhi would better reflect their noble virtues, so they lost their scruples and went overboard.

Lin Xingzhi also saw someone coming to the second place and saying that the No. [-] Scholar should belong to him. Lin Xingzhi relied on the King Li, and the emperor gave the No. [-] Scholar to Lin Xingzhi for the sake of King Li. .

Lin Xingzhi was listening quietly at the door, listening very seriously, he didn't even notice when the prince appeared next to him.

It wasn't until the internal officer next to the prince coughed twice and shouted "The prince is here" that he didn't notice the person coming.

The arrival of the prince caused a group of people talking loudly inside to panic, but the prince looked coldly and didn't look at those people more, instead he comforted Lin Xingzhi.

"All right, Gu understands that you have nothing to do with the third younger brother. I was in the third younger brother's house yesterday. You are innocent. You don't need to take other people's words to heart."

"I believe in you, because your talent and reputation have spread throughout the capital early, and even the emperor has praised you. You are worthy of your name as the number one scholar."

After comforting Lin Xingzhi, the prince looked coldly at the people kneeling on the ground in the hall, "You are all talented and capable people selected by our great Chu, and today you have learned the behavior of a woman in the market. Talking about others behind their backs, is this how you read sage books?"

All the people kneeling on the ground wanted to stick their heads to the ground at the moment, and they must not let the prince notice them. Only a few people whispered "the students know their mistakes".

The prince obviously didn't intend to expose it, so he severely reprimanded everyone. From being a man to being an official and then talking about the face of scholars in the world, everyone was scolded by the prince into silence, and they didn't even dare to speak loudly.

Only Lin Xingzhi's face was calm, he didn't seem to listen to the insulting words at all, and he was not moved by the prince's maintenance at all.

The prince looked very angry. After scolding the person, he took two deep breaths to calm his mind. At the same time, his eyes fell on Lin Xingzhi. The prince did not see the reaction he wanted to see, so he frowned slightly.

It's all over, the prince will not give up, he came to grab Lin Xingzhi's hand, and said in a solemn tone, "OK, no matter what the rumors say about you, Gu will always stand by your side. Now, I will never allow anyone to slander you, the future pillar of Great Chu!"

The prince's eyebrows and eyes are gentle, but the calculation is too obvious to hide.

Lin Xingzhi felt disgusted after talking to him a few words, how could he let the prince touch his hand, Lin Xingzhi took a few steps back and thanked the prince for his kindness, and then asked: "Your Highness, can the students talk to you all by yourself?" Can you say a few words to me?"
