Qin Yuling's position gave him a perfect view of both the civil and military situations.

She sat on a high platform, hugged by a fox fur coat, brewed tea by the stove, ate snacks, and watched the people below the stage compete with each other for the position of her prince consort. She was so leisurely and comfortable.

He pointed and looked at them, "The one in blue looks good, has good skin, and is comfortable to look at every day."

"The red dress with black sleeves is also okay, but it looks a bit cold. I don't know if it's easy to get along with."

"And... Hey, why do they all have such expressions? Is my topic today difficult?"

Qin Yuling put aside the snack in her hand for the time being, took a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth, and said to the palace maidservant beside her: "Go and get me the topic for today's essay."

"Yu'er, is there something wrong?"

Xu Mingxi saw that her expression was slightly solemn and asked.

"I saw that their brows were almost twisted into knots. I wondered if the topic I prepared today was too difficult. They were so worried."

"That shouldn't be the case. I just randomly wrote a poem with a title. How could this happen?"

Qin Yuling took the paper handed over by the palace maid and said, "Indeed, it is very common to write a poem with the title of 'Ode to Plum Blossoms'. Even a young lady can write three or five poems in one breath with this title."

Xu Mingxi leaned over to look at the paper, then looked at the performance of the young masters in the stage. Almost all of them had serious expressions and frowned, and the brushes in their hands did not fall for a long time. They really looked like they were stumped.

Xu Mingxi guessed: "Perhaps, the simpler the question, the more difficult it will be if you want to stand out..."

Qin Yuling thought about it and it seemed to be true.

Chanting poetry casually is easy, but if you want to be extraordinary and make a splash, it seems to be a bit challenging.

Qin Yuling suddenly realized: "So that's it! Xi'er is right, I didn't think it through."

But she had no idea that the reason why the young men in the literary field were scratching their heads was not because they wanted to stand out and win the first prize. What they were thinking in their hearts was how to ensure that their poems were the worst in the whole venue so as to avoid being selected.

After years of elegant recitation, he can compose beautiful words and sentences at will, and writing poetry is no problem at all.

Today's topic is so simple.

If it were normal, I would definitely put the mountains and rivers in my mind and the brilliant literary talent into the tip of my pen, turn it into paper, and discuss and compare with my classmates and friends, so as to relax my mind and not let down such a beautiful scenery today.

What is giving me a headache right now is that I am searching for the poor and vulgar words in daily life, and thinking about how to make this poem earthy and vulgar. Not only that, but it should also be more earthy and vulgar than others.

The difficulty is almost as great as creating a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages!

"Such a simple question... is really a headache..."

"Who says it's not... I've been writing for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen anything more vulgar than 'vulgar'."

"My mother once wrote a doggerel poem. I might as well write it here."

"Well... Wang Laizi, the village head, said a few dirty words, so I think I can use them."

"I wish my dog ​​could talk...it could at least help me bark a few words."

……

Qin Yuling turned his gaze to the martial arts field again.

"Everyone in the martial arts arena today seems to be very weak... Although I know that none of these candidates have top martial arts skills, it shouldn't be that serious, right—"

"Look at that guy. He only threw three punches before being hit by the opponent's palm. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up. It was really too bad..."

"And this - is he using internal energy? How can he knock his opponent, who is three steps away from him, down to the stage with just one palm strike in the air..."

Xu Mingxi didn't know any martial arts, but he had heard that there were indeed people with profound internal strength who could hit objects from a distance and even smash them to pieces.

She explained hesitantly: "Maybe... this person's skills are indeed better than others."

"Really?" Qin Yuling was skeptical.

"It seems that one cannot judge a person by his appearance. Judging from his appearance, he doesn't look like someone with such outstanding skills."

Xu Mingxi nodded in agreement, but the more he looked at the man's back, the more familiar he looked, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Xu Mingxi muttered in his heart: "Is this the person I saw at the banquet before?"

I watched helplessly as that man was so agile that he leaped and twirled and repelled dozens of people in succession.

As she turned around, Xu Mingxi finally saw the man's face clearly. She was so shocked that she almost stood up. Her eyes widened and her lips parted: Xu Yuling! !

How could it be him!

Xu Mingxi tried his best to suppress the disbelief in his heart and turned to glance at Qin Yuling's reaction.

She seemed unaware of anything and continued to eat her snacks, sip her tea and watch the battle below.

Xu Mingxi then remembered that the second branch of the Xu family had just returned to Kyoto recently, and Qin Yuling had not met them many times, so they were naturally not acquainted.

Seeing Xu Yuling getting braver and braver, Qin Yuling was also quite interested: "His skills seem to be quite good, but his appearance is a little lacking... He is just barely worthy of our attention."

"Xi'er, do you think he will be the champion of the martial arts competition? How can he be so good at martial arts but not have a good appearance? I think it's a pity."

After not hearing Xu Mingxi's response for a long time, Qin Yuling tilted her head in confusion and looked at her: "Xi'er, I want to ask you a question."

"I..." Xu Mingxi didn't know how to answer.

She didn't even know whether she should tell Qin Yuling the identity of this person.

Xu Yuling is the son of the second branch of the Xu family. He is a slick guy who is good at eating, drinking and having fun. How can he be a martial arts master?

If Xu Mingxi still couldn't notice the abnormality off the court at this moment, then he would have lived two lifetimes in vain!

Looking at the situation in the martial arts competition, Xu Yulin has defeated most of his opponents in succession, leaving them far behind and looking likely to win the championship. It is too late to call a stop now!

"Yu'er! That's enough! Let them stop! This martial arts competition..."

"What happened to this Wubi?"

She wanted to say that there was something fishy about this martial arts competition and that it didn't count, but before she could open her mouth, the gong sounded on the martial arts field and the chief eunuch shouted in a shrill voice: "Today's champion of the martial arts competition is number 19!"

Xu Mingxi's body, which had just been straight, instantly collapsed, his shoulders slumped, and he only said one thing in his heart: It's over.

Qin Yuling had expected this, but was still not particularly satisfied with the result.

"Although he is the champion, his appearance is too ordinary. Let's go and see if there are any handsome young men in Wenbi later."

Xu Mingxi stared at the excited Xu Yuling in the audience, and couldn't figure out how he had the opportunity to enter the palace to attend the banquet! Qin Yuling didn't even recognize him! Who did it?

He also defeated all the contestants in the martial arts competition. What on earth is going on?
