Cao Suixin made a face at Lu Yang and said, "Don't laugh at me. Hey, Your Highness, thanks to you, from today on, everyone knows that Fuyou Xiangjun's handwriting is too ugly to be seen by others."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. He and Fuyou were just joking, why couldn't these guys understand
He glared at the others. As for Fang Shaohua, he really scored according to his own mind. Fang Shaohua also received the look from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, raised his eyebrows, and looked like it had nothing to do with me.
The final score given to Lu Yang was still 40 points, which was pretty good. Wan Xiangxiang looked at everyone with a smile: "So, I won, right? I got the most, 41 points, so all these things are mine."
His Royal Highness nodded: "Who said it wasn't? It's a prize, if you win it's all yours. They're just some worthless trinkets anyway."
Wan Xiangxiang laughed twice: "What misunderstanding do you have about these things? Yes, most of them are worthless little things, but some are not!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Yuan Xiangxiang who was standing beside her. Yuan Xiangxiang had invested a lot of money. She thought she could win this time, but she didn't expect that the appearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would make her bleed heavily.
After all, the things these two sisters took out were all worth thousands of taels. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince helped them to cheat these two Miss Yuan, but Cao Suixin was very satisfied.
Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, Yuan Qingyao has no choice. The most important thing now is to keep His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If he can stay here for a while longer, it will be a good thing for the Yuan family.
"Your Highness..."
Just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince: "By the way, I have other things to do, so I will go back to work first. When you have time, come to the palace to play with me."
He said this to Cao Suixin, Lu Yang, and Wan Xiangxiang. Lu Yang and Wan Xiangxiang nodded: "Okay."
Only Cao Suixin snorted in dissatisfaction: "No time, practice calligraphy."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left with a smile. Before leaving, he reached out and touched Cao Suixin's head. Cao Suixin rolled his eyes several times before he left contentedly.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Crown Prince was partial to Cao Suixin. Yuan Xiangxiang looked at Yuan Qingyao and said, "Brother, take all the guests over."
Cao Suixin suddenly spoke up at this time: "Alas, today's banquet is meaningless. I want to go home and practice calligraphy. Sister-in-law, let's go back."
Lu Yang then said, "I'll go to the palace with you. I haven't seen Bei Bei for a long time. Let's go and chat with her."
When Fang Shaohua heard that his wife was going back, he also said: "Thank you for the invitation today, Prince Yuan. My wife is going home, I will follow her. Goodbye."
Yuan Qingyao's expression turned a little ugly, but he tried his best to restrain himself: "Okay, let's get together again when we have time."
Fang Shaohua left, and naturally Fang Shaoyu had to follow him. Fortunately, on the male guest side, only these two people left, and it didn't affect anything.
It was just that the male guests heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also coming, but they missed the opportunity, which was a pity. However, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was able to come to the banquet at Marquis Yuan's Mansion, it proved that the status of Marquis Yuan's Mansion was indeed good.
As for the female guests, Yuan Xiangxiang went to find Yuan Qinqin to comfort her. Lu Yang left with Cao Suixin and the others, without affecting the others from having fun.
Instead, Wan Xiangxiang went towards the lady's yard. She came to tell Wan Xi that Tong Ruyan and Cao Suixin had gone back.
As soon as Wan Xiangxiang walked in, Wan Xi saw her: "Aunt, let's go back."
Wan Xi looked at Wan Xiangxiang, who smiled and told her what happened in the yard outside. Wan Xi was speechless. It was so lively, but she could only rely on her status to chat with a group of old ladies inside.
He coughed twice and looked at the ladies: "Ladies, I have something else to do at home, so Wan Xi will leave first."
Since Wan Xi wanted to leave, no one would stop her. Everyone else said goodbye with a smile. Madam Yuanhou personally saw Wan Xi off and watched her get on the carriage before turning back.
Beibei was reading Cuju Boy's novel at home and found it very interesting. Just as lunch time came, he received news that Cao Suixin and others had returned.
"Aunt, please ask someone to prepare more lunch immediately."
I thought I could enjoy lunch alone, and the kitchen only prepared enough food for one person. I didn't expect them to come back so early.
As soon as Cao Suixin came in, he shouted, "Hurry up and ask the kitchen to send some food over. I've been busy all morning and I'm starving."
Beibei spotted Lu Yang inside and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in amusement: "What's wrong? Is it that the Yuanhou Mansion doesn't provide meals? You've been busy all morning, what have you been busy with?"
Cao Suixin was quick-talking. He sat aside, drank a sip of water, and began to talk. Beibei also understood that everyone had a really lively time this morning.
"That's awesome, Xiao Xinxin. You alone are worth thousands of troops. You killed the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor. But you were implicated by your friendly forces and got the lowest score."
When it comes to this lowest score, Cao Suixin is so angry that his teeth itch. Looking at Beibei, "Senior sister, next time you see the Crown Prince, help me teach him a lesson. This is simply too much."
Beibei nodded: "Okay, when I'm released, I'll help you beat him up."
Anyway, she couldn't go out for a short time, so it was okay to comfort her junior sister. The people in the kitchen moved quickly and brought lunch over.
Everyone was eating and chatting. Beibei looked at Luyang and said, "Why did you come to see me, Yangyang? Did you miss me?"
Lu Yang nodded: "Yes, I came to see you. I noticed that you are living a good life. What do you do at home every day?"
Beibei glanced at the Cuju boy next to him with a smile and said, "Read a book."
Reading a book? Lu Yang looked at Bei Bei in confusion. This guy didn't seem like someone who could keep his composure. "What kind of book can attract you? Can you let me have a look?"
Beibei blinked and said, "Of course, you can watch it for a while after dinner. By the way, did Brother Fang get anything out of today's banquet?"
Fang Shaohua also smiled and nodded: "I met some nice people."
"Since everyone has gained something, that's great. It's not a wasted trip. Let's eat quickly. We are tired today." Beibei said and stopped talking.
After lunch, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Only Lu Yang stayed behind and glanced at the Cuju boy, finding him interesting.
"This book is interesting. Can I have it?"
Beibei smiled and replied, "Not now. Once we find someone to print them, there will be a lot. I'll have someone send you a copy then."
It is indeed a bit uncomfortable not being able to see it now. However, Lu Yang still nodded: "Okay, when will you ask someone to print it? You can't go out now, do you want Xiangjun to print it for you?"
Beibei hummed: "Yes, I plan to let Junior Sister and Sister Ruyan do it together! Sister Ruyan doesn't have to go to school, so she can find something to do so that she won't be bored."
Lu Yang stared at Bei Bei and said, "It's just a small matter, why not let me do it? I'll take the book away and have someone print it for you, what do you think?"
Beibei was a little surprised: "Do you like this book? This is a gift from my brother. He wants to hold a Cuju competition in Kyoto, and these are just for preparation."
Lu Yang understood what he heard and nodded: "No problem, I'm interested. I'm also interested in this activity. Do you think I can organize a Cuju team and take them to play in the game?"
Beibei blinked and said, "If you are interested, just do it."
Lu Yang was satisfied this time. He did not let the original book take away, but he was allowed to take away the copy that Tong Ruyan had copied.
After the banquet, everyone's life returned to normal, but no one knew when the story of the Cuju boy suddenly became popular in Kyoto. Many people bought the book to read, and a comic version also came out.
The guys in the comic version are all handsome and good at playing Cuju. They are so fascinating and make people like them very much.
Beibei was very happy with the feedback from outside, and then began to write letters to his brother, saying that there was no problem with the promotion in Kyoto, and that there were already quite a few Cuju teams.
Especially after Lu Yang established the Cuju team, many children from aristocratic families followed suit. It seems that if a family in Kyoto does not have a Cuju team, they are considered shabby.
Everyone knows that the books and comics about Cuju Boy all came from the Binjian Palace. But for some reason, Binjian Palace does not have a Cuju team.
Of course, there are also rumors that the Bingjian Palace actually has a Cuju team, but because the princess is under house arrest, they have not been released.
Because of this incident, there was a lot of uproar outside. At the same time, the chief examiner of this autumn examination had also been selected.
It also caused quite a stir, because the chief examiner this time was none other than the Minister of Rites, which meant that he was finally going to do some serious work.
Previously, the prime minister had always taken over, but this time, the task that was originally supposed to be done by the Ministry of Rites was pushed back. Gu Xiangning, Lin Zezhi and others had no objection to this decision, so it was decided.
As the examiner was confirmed, the people in the Imperial College began to discuss the matter enthusiastically: "What do you think, Lord Xue Shangshu, what kind of style do you like? What kind of questions will you ask?"
Regarding this question, you can hear it everywhere in the Imperial College. Wu Ziye looked at Fang Shaohua who came in, smiled and went up to greet him: "Brother Shaohua, what do you think about the things everyone is discussing recently? Do you know anything about Minister Xue?"
When the others heard Wu Ziye asking Fang Shaohua, they put down what they were doing and listened carefully.
