To avoid more nightmares at night.
Time passed little by little.
Finally, when the poetry meeting was about to begin, there was a sudden commotion in the yard.
"Look, the students from the Imperial College are here!"
"Wow, students from Yunlu Academy are here too!"
"Hey, this is going to be exciting."
When the people in the courtyard heard the noise and looked over, they saw two teams of students entering the garden at the same time.
On the left were students from the Imperial College, all of them with arrogant looks and upturned noses. The leader was a thin old man, but his back was very straight and he looked very energetic.
The students of the Imperial College have always been arrogant because they are destined to become officials in the imperial court.
Even those who were not well educated could obtain a position in the imperial court through connections with the Imperial Academy.
On the right are students from Yunlu Academy.
Compared to the people at the Imperial College, the students at Yunlu Academy all looked much more gentle and refined, like scholars.
However, the image of the leader of Yunlu Academy was slightly inferior to that of the Imperial College.
On their side was a middle-aged man who looked a little slovenly.
Of course, no one dared to look down on this slovenly-looking middle-aged man.
Because this person is Zhang Shen, a great scholar from the academy.
The word "Da Ru" carries a lot of weight.
Even the leader of the Imperial College couldn't compare to him.
Seeing Zhang Shen as the leader, Lu Xiao was visibly stunned.
This guy is a famous troll in the academy.
Not only him, but all his students are also big trolls.
His most authentic successor is the one that everyone is familiar with, Xu Xinnian.
The dean actually asked him to lead a team to attend the poetry gathering hosted by the princess. It seems that he intends to crush the Imperial College.
Dean Zhao Shou has now entered the court.
The already hostile relationship between Yunlu Academy and the Imperial College would naturally become more tense.
However, fighting in the court can affect the entire body.
The two sides certainly cannot easily start a war.
Therefore, the poetry gathering hosted by the eldest princess became the best battlefield.
Even if the two families quarreled fiercely at the poetry meeting, at most they would only lose some face.
It will not involve the government.
Doing so is just right.
Although the two teams walked in at the same time, they never looked at each other from beginning to end.
The air immediately began to smell like gunpowder.
While Lu Xiao was observing the two teams, Zhang Shen also saw him.
Then, Zhang Shen led a group of students from Yunlu Academy and walked straight towards him.
This scene immediately attracted everyone's attention.
When Zhang Shen reached Lu Xiao, most of the people in the yard looked over.
"Aren't you in seclusion?"
Zhang Shen stopped and asked Lu Xiao in a gentle tone.
Behind him, many students from Yunlu Academy saluted simultaneously.
"I have met Senior Brother Lu."
This scene shocked everyone in the yard.
Knowing that Lu Xiao was Pingyang's fiancée, they were all dumbfounded.
"This young man Pingyang seems to have a high status in Yunlu Academy?"
Confucianism has always emphasized humility.
Therefore, even the students in the academy knew of his identity as the Confucian Saint Son, and when they were out and about, they would address him as a teacher and brother.
That way it won't appear too conspicuous.
Lu Xiao bowed directly and said, "Greetings to the Master, and to all my fellow disciples."
After that, he explained to Zhang Shen, "I just came out of the customs today. I came here with Pingyang."
Pingyang and Lin'an beside them also hurriedly saluted.
"The student has met the gentleman."
Both of them had studied at Yunlu Academy, even if it wasn't for long, they were still considered students of the academy.
Zhang Shen smiled faintly. "You're so lucky, but seeing you makes me feel relieved. If your fellow apprentices don't live up to their expectations, you can't just stand by and watch."
Although the students of Yunlu Academy have always looked down upon the students of the Imperial Academy.
But I have to admit that talent has nothing to do with character.
If we only talk about talent and learning, the Imperial College also has real talent.
Lu Xiao said, "Sir, you're exaggerating. My fellow apprentices are all excellent."
Zhang Shen said, "Hmph, excellent? How could I not know that the students I taught were all useless? How could they be considered excellent?"
He is indeed the biggest troll in the academy, he even trolls his own students.
However, the students at Yunlu Academy were all familiar with Zhang Shen.
Sharp tongue but kind heart.
Even though he was a bit harsh on students, he would always help them if they encountered any difficulties.
Therefore, his popularity among the many teachers in the academy has always been among the best.
At this moment, a loud shout was heard from the courtyard.
"The Princess has arrived!"
Everyone looked over and saw a woman walking slowly from the back garden.
Her appearance was pure and elegant, like a pure and unpretentious lotus, her eyes like an ice mirror, clear and transparent, yet revealing a cold and elegant elegance. Her figure was exquisite and curvaceous, with alluring curves.
It was Princess Huaiqing of Dafeng.
"Meet the Princess!"
The people in the courtyard immediately came to pay their respects.
Even the great scholar Zhang Shen had to bow down to him.
There were only two exceptions.
One is naturally Lin'an.
She and Huaiqing had never gotten along, so she ignored him.
The other one is Lu Xiao.
It's not that he looked down on Princess Huaiqing.
It's just a normal greeting, not kneeling, no big deal.
But Lin An beside him was staring at him intently.
"You belong to me today, so don't bow to her."
Lu Xiao could only smile bitterly: "Next time, make it clear that I am just someone you brought with you, not yours."
As soon as these words came out, Lin An immediately knew that what she had just said was inappropriate.
His face flushed instantly.
But he still said stubbornly: "I don't care, anyway, you are not allowed to worship her."
"Okay, since you just helped me chase away two flies, I'll agree to that." Lu Xiao said.
Lin'an finally nodded in satisfaction. "Good, we've finally reached a consensus on one thing. You also find those two annoying, right? I'm telling you, be careful. They're looking at your Pingyang with something strange in their eyes. Please find some time to help me talk Pingyang down. She's a complete idiot."
Chapter 109 Lively Poetry Gathering
When Pingyang heard her best friend teasing her in front of her, she immediately looked up and glared at Lin'an.
Lin'an immediately hid behind Lu Xiao.
"Look, look at her. I'm clearly thinking about her, but she still dares to glare at me. And you don't even take care of her."
Lu Xiao had already taken Pingyang's hand again and said softly.
"Although I usually don't get along with Lin'an, she's certainly right about this matter. I can also sense the ill will he harbors towards you from the eyes of the Earl of Pingyuan's son. You'd better be on your guard."
After hearing what Lu Xiao said, Pingyang began to seriously consider this issue for the first time.
"Is he really not a good person? Our two families are old friends, why would he have ill will towards me?"
Lu Xiao said, "Silly girl, just this face of yours is enough to make many people harbor ill will towards you. Also, if I remember correctly, the Minister of War should be your father's political enemy. And now the son of the Earl of Pingyuan is secretly close to the son of the Minister of War. This matter is probably not simple. In my opinion, you should go back and warn your father-in-law. He is at a critical moment right now and can't make any mistakes."
With the marriage between Prince Yu's family and Yunlu Academy.
Prince Yu has gained the support of many civil officials in the court, and his entry into the cabinet is basically a certainty.
It's been going through the process recently.
However, the court situation changes rapidly, and no one can guarantee that there won't be any unexpected events before things are completely settled.
Prince Yu is now his father-in-law, so Lu Xiao feels the need to remind him.
In the original timeline, he missed the chance to join the cabinet because he was assassinated by Pingyuanbo.
Although Pingyang was unaware of the dangers of the imperial court, he was also concerned about his father's future.
Even though Pingyuan Bo was a family friend, he was still an outsider after all.
So she immediately took Lu Xiao's words to heart.
"Okay, I'll tell my father when I get home today."
Only then did Lu Xiao nod.
Pingyang never had any doubts about his own words.
On the other side, after Huaiqing greeted everyone in the courtyard, he subconsciously looked towards Lin'an.
When she saw Lu Xiao for the first time, her eyes lit up instantly.
There's no way around it, Lu Xiao's aura is too special.
For someone like Huai Qing, who had seen countless people, she knew Lu Xiao was definitely extraordinary just from his temperament.
So out of curiosity, she walked over here.
After she reached him, she ignored Lin'an's murderous look and bowed slightly to Zhang Shen.
"Students have met Mr.
She also studied at Yunlu Academy.
Or rather, it has always been there.
She studied military tactics with Zhang Shen, statecraft with Chen Tai, and music, chess, calligraphy, and painting with Li Mubai and Yang Gong.
Even now, Huaiqing would come to the academy every once in a while to stay for a few days and ask questions to Zhao Shou.
Lu Xiao had also heard his teacher Zhao Shou comment on Princess Huaiqing during this period.
The teacher only regretted that she was not a man.
It is said that she has an amazing talent and gift, rarely seen in a century.
