At this time, after Mu Duo finished speaking, all the students stood up from their seats and went to the high platform set up in the open space of the academy. The first test of this exam began.

After the students took their seats on stage, a specially sent master from the palace came up to distribute the test papers.

In one hour, the answer will be judged by the examiner on the spot.

The examiner group composed of people from the academy and the palace is very large, so once the exam is over, the merits will be judged in less than half an hour.

All the students on the stage were busy writing, and some were scratching their heads, scratching their ears, and frowning. The men and women sitting in the audience stretched their necks, and when they looked up and saw their children thinking hard, they did not dare to express their anger. Suddenly, the entire academy fell into an eerie silence.

Suddenly there was a "hissing" sound of cold air, and Mrs. King Yin of Jingzhao suddenly felt dissatisfied. She was about to scold the short-sighted person when she made a sound, turned her head and stared blankly ahead.

Looking at a place one step away from the men's table, a slender man was walking towards the special seats set up for the royal family in the academy.

He was wearing a dark tapestry brocade robe with dark patterns. The draping was very good. The collar and cuffs were finely embroidered with gold threads and flowing cloud patterns. He had a wide brocade belt of the same color around his waist. He had black hair. Bundled up and fixed with a purple gold crown inlaid with jewels, her slender body stood straight as she walked, carrying an indescribably handsome aura.

But no one present noticed when this man appeared in the academy.

The boys in the academy behind him quickly followed and tried to guide him, but when the guards in gray clothes beside the man glanced at him, the boys suddenly turned pale and quietly retreated.

Only then did everyone notice that the man's slightly pale face seemed to have a moonlight-like clear glow flowing through it, making his face elegant and elegant, cold and distant, with an innate noble dignity.

He glanced around indifferently, his eyes were like deep and sharp blades, and with a silence gesture, everyone in the men's banquet instantly became chilled, and they no longer dared to come forward to say hello.

"Xu, Guo, Gong!"

After a long time, everyone finally came to their senses and slowly uttered these three words in their hearts.

It turned out to be Xu Guogong Xu Jingxiao. Everyone looked at this legendary figure in front of them in surprise. He had not appeared in the field of vision for many years. Even if he stayed away from the court and thanked guests behind closed doors, he could not stop people from having heated discussions.

The only legitimate son of the old prince was once the envy of young people in Da'an City and the love object of young girls.

The young man envied him for his talent and grace, his outstanding martial arts skills, and even more for his numerous military exploits at such a young age.

The girl fell in love with his handsome face, his important position in Da'an City, and even more with his arrogant words at the palace banquet: "You will only marry one person in your life, and you will never take concubines."

I heard that the emperor's face turned dark at that time.

However, his good fortune seemed to end abruptly at the age of fifteen.

The old Duke died of a sudden illness, and the whereabouts of the Duke's wife are unknown. There is evidence that both incidents were done by people from the Beiming Kingdom.

Xu Jingxiao hurriedly inherited the title and went to the Beiming Kingdom in anger. At that time, the Eastern Qin Kingdom he belonged to had just conquered the Xiyun Kingdom, and their combat power had not yet recovered in all aspects. However, he still could not withstand the young man's anger. Although he barely won, he still could not resist the young man's anger. lost heavily.

I heard that he himself had suffered an internal injury, and even after visiting famous doctors, there was nothing he could do. The sequelae left behind after this serious injury in the battle made Xu Jingxiao look pale and sick all the time.

From then on, only a handful of people in Da'an City could occasionally see him.

If before these changes, Xu Jingxiao was a wealthy and wealthy young man with a graceful spirit and high spirits, now he is even more cold and cold, as cold as ice and unfathomable.

How many people know about these changes and experiences?

"Uncle Emperor, fourth child." Xu Jingxiao glanced at King Qi at the seat and addressed him perfunctorily. He didn't even look at Xie Yuanfu and sat down without waiting for King Qi's reply.

King Qi's already ferocious face became even stiffer, and he said firmly: "I thought you would always hide in the Duke's Mansion and never come out."

Xu Jingxiao had no intention of respecting King Qi at all, and King Qi could not get angry. Over the years, King Qi had been domineering in Da'an City and the emperor had protected him in every possible way. However, when the old Duke was still alive, he still went his own way, and he would be beaten when necessary. He was scolded, and the murderous aura and majesty of the bloody battlefield made him dare not take a breath.

The emperor has nothing to do with the old Duke, so why bother with King Qi? This Xu Jingxiao actually inherited the character of the old Duke, which made Xu Jingxiao angry. He didn't even consider that King Qi was an elder and directly knocked on his door.

"Does the Emperor have to keep an eye on my king's business? But... the Emperor had better pay attention to his sense of propriety." Xu Jingxiao said calmly.

"You know, except for women, I have no interest in knowing anything else." King Qi was not angry, and even had a faint smile on his face, "Maybe you also want to find a princess for yourself ? In this case, Xu Jingxiao, you are not young anymore."

There was no emotion in Xu Jingxiao's eyes and he remained silent.

"Your Highness, King Qi, please be careful with your words!" The guard in gray clothes who retreated to one side stared at King Qi with an unkind expression.

King Qi snorted and turned his head. If he continued talking, Xu Jingxiao's men would definitely throw him out.

Xie Yuanfu couldn't say a word, and it was not appropriate to say hello to Xu Jingxiao at this time, so he stared at the students on the high platform, pretending to be paying attention to the exam on the platform.

Because the special seats were far away from the high platform, the two men's soft conversation did not affect the students. On the contrary, everyone in the men's and women's seats stretched their ears to hear what the two were talking about, but they could not say a word. did not hear.

Everyone was thinking in their own minds, and the men were all guessing, what was Xu Guogong's intention when he suddenly appeared in Pinghu Academy?

Women are all thinking about which girl in their family is more suitable to be the princess, and how can they win the favor of the prince?

Usually, if the prince doesn't come out, he would like to get married, but he can't do it.

Now that the prince has left the palace and has come to Pinghu Academy to pay attention to the exams, Da'an City will definitely be very lively within an hour. Those aristocratic families who have daughters waiting to be married are even more overwhelmed.

Because this exam was taken very seriously and papers could not be handed in in advance, the students who had finished their answers early put down their pens and examined them carefully. Only one person started to pick up their pens. She sat upright and wrote without thinking.

At a glance, among the many students, she stood out, not because of her recklessness, not because of her clumsy thinking, but because her delicate back always felt like the aura that a superior person should have, making people involuntarily feel scared.

This indescribable demeanor clearly distinguishes her from those around her.
