Shi Nanyue also heard the voice, he let go of Shen Yijin's hand, then turned his head to follow the voice.

At first he didn't recognize Zhu Yan, because he only saw Zhu Yan once in Nanjing, and after nearly three months, he had already vaguely recognized Zhu Yan's appearance, but he still had a little impression, so after looking carefully at Zhu Yan for a while , recognized him.

After recognizing Zhu Yan, the smile on Shi Nanyue's face narrowed, and then he frowned again.

——He still remembered that Zhu Yan had thoughts about his little scholar.

Looking away, Shi Nanyue asked in a low voice: "Xiao Jin, is that person Zhu Yan?"

"It's him." Shen Yijin nodded, but she was also very puzzled: "But why is he here?" With Zhu Yan's grades, he should not be able to enter the Imperial College, but judging by his footsteps, he is indeed going to enter the Imperial College .

While speaking, Zhu Yan had already walked towards them under an umbrella.

He walked up to Shen Yijin quickly, stared at Shen Yijin for a while, his eyes lit up, and said with surprise on his face: "It really is you, Yijin. I thought it was because I missed you so much, so I recognized the wrong person It's over."

His tone was ambiguous, and his eyes looked at Shen Yijin very openly, without hiding his feelings at all.

And when his gaze swept across Shi Nanyue who was beside Shen Yijin, a trace of crazy jealousy flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared without anyone noticing.

Stared at by Zhu Yan with fiery eyes, Shen Yijin couldn't help but frowned, he took a few steps back, and stepped behind Shi Nanyue, with a distant attitude: "Why do you want me?"

Seeing Shen Yijin's evasive and alienated attitude towards him, and seeing his closeness and trust towards Shi Nanyue, Zhu Yan was angry and annoyed in his heart, and he was almost out of breath with crazy jealousy, but on the surface he once He didn't show it at all, but he was still smiling, his face was full of tenderness, and he looked completely affectionate.

He stared at Shen Yijin intently, and said with great joy: "Since the last time I left Nanjing, I thought I would never see you again, but I just saw you suddenly, and I called your name because I was too surprised. You, it is such a coincidence and great to meet you here."

After a pause, Zhu Yan remembered something, and asked again: "By the way, Yijin, why did you come here?"

Shen Yijin glanced at him, and said in a calm tone, "I'm here to report today."

After Zhu Yan heard the words, he suddenly realized: "That's right, you know Yuan." After a while, he said excitedly to himself again: "That's great, Yijin, we are classmates again, and I happen to be here earlier than you For a few days, how about I take you around to familiarize yourself with the environment?"

While speaking, his eyes kept falling on Shen Yijin.

Zhu Yan's overly familiar attitude made Shen Yijin's already frowning brows even deeper.

He didn't want to have too much interaction with Zhu Yan, and didn't want Zhu Yan to have any hopes. Shen Yijin pondered for a while, and decided to talk to Zhu Yan again, so he said bluntly: "Zhu Yan, I told you when I was in Nanjing We are not familiar with each other, you and I pursue differences, and we are not in the same way, so I hope that in the future, even if we are both in the Imperial College, it is better not to communicate with each other."

After Shen Yijin's words fell, the smile that Zhu Yan had been maintaining on his face finally couldn't hold on any longer, and he was so angry that his face sank completely, like the bottom of a pot, which was very ugly.

He clenched his hand by his side into a fist, and he could even see the veins protruding from the back of his hand.

Withdrawing his gaze, Shen Yijin ignored Zhu Yan, turned his head and talked softly with Shi Nanyue, then raised his head and smiled at Shi Nanyue, waved his hand, and then went straight past Zhu Yan and walked into the Imperial College.

Shi Nanyue did not follow up.

There are many sons of courtiers in the Guozijian, and many people know him. If he follows him, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

After seeing Shen Yijin enter the Imperial College, Shi Nanyue turned around and left, but before leaving, he glanced at Zhu Yan at the side again, with a thoughtful expression.

As for Zhu Yan who was left in place, after they all left, there was a lot of hatred and coldness in his eyes, and he didn't have any hesitation about what Rong Xiucheng told him.



When you concentrate on your studies, the days pass quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Yijin had already been in the Imperial College for half a month.

And in this short half a month, Shen Yijin never made a single friend.

Zhu Yan also stopped looking for him.

Probably because Shen Yijin's words before were too harsh, so even though the two met by chance during this period of time, they just nodded and passed by.

Shen Yijin has always been alone.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to make friends, but that he doesn't like to make friends.

In the Guozijian, although the students come from all over the country, most of them are actually students from the capital.

Moreover, most of these students are the sons of high-ranking officials and wealthy families. They are born high and high, and they look down on students from poor families at all. It is almost impossible to make friends with them.

And even though there are many sons from poor families in the Guozijian, most of them are grouped together, and most of them are quite knowledgeable, and few of them are extremely outstanding.

But when Shen Yijin first entered the Imperial College, she didn't hide her clumsiness, she showed her sharpness, and in just a few days, she made the instructor very satisfied and praised him endlessly. Every time he was mentioned, she would smile and be very satisfied.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

If Shen Yijin came from a high family and had a background, those students from a poor family could still comfort themselves, but just like them, Shen Yijin came from a poor family, both parents died, and had no background at all, but she beat them in every way, How could they not be jealous of being praised by the teacher who taught him many times, and how could they get along well with him?

Therefore, not only were these students unable to become friends with Shen Yijin, but there were even a few people who spread rumors behind their backs and poured dirty water on Shen Yijin.

However, Shen Yijin was only devoted to learning and cared very little about the outside world, so she never cared about it.

But it was Shen Yijin's indifferent attitude that made those students even more dissatisfied. Under the anger, they just wanted to suppress Shen Yijin's prestige and let Shen Yijin learn a lesson.

And it just so happened that two days later was the day to rest and take a bath, so they thought of an idea.

On the day of rest, the weather finally cleared up, and many students were going to go out for fun, so some people organized a plum appreciation meeting in the suburbs.

Shen Yijin was also invited.

Shen Yijin was actually going to see Shi Nanyue, but Shi Nanyue left the capital for some business a few days ago and has not returned yet, so when he received the invitation, he did not refuse.

Following the crowd to the plum forest in the suburbs, Shen Yijin stood under the plum tree, looked up at the extremely beautiful blooming branches, recalled that Shi Nanyue took him to the plum forest when he was in the south of the Yangtze River last year, and the corners of his mouth naturally curled up.

Under the plum tree not far away, several students got together head to head, discussing something.

After they separated, one of them named Zhou Lan walked towards Shen Yijin.

Zhou Lan walked up to Shen Yijin and said, "Zijue, we are going to hold a poetry competition, so you can come too."

'Zijue' is a nickname given to Shen Yijin by a master after he entered the Imperial College. Jue means beautiful jade.

Shen Yijin nodded when she heard the words, and replied: "Okay, I'll go there now." After that, he followed the man's footsteps and walked towards the pavilion in front of him.

The pavilion was built by the lake. At this time, many people had already gathered. They were sitting around a young man in fine clothes. The young man was about fifteen or sixteen years old. Don't bother.

This boy is the younger brother of the current emperor, the Third Prince Zhao Lang.

Seeing Shen Yijin approaching, everyone stepped aside to make room, which happened to be at the edge of the pavilion.

Raising his head, Zhao Lang glanced at Shen Yijin, disgusted, and snorted again.

"..." Shen Yijin was a little dazed, it was the first time he saw Zhao Lang, he didn't know Zhao Jue's identity, and he didn't know where he offended him.

Zhou Lan looked at it and was very satisfied. He winked at the other two, and then said: "Okay, everyone is here, let's start."

Someone asked: "What is our subject?"

Zhou Lan thought for a while and said, "The plum blossoms in this plum grove are so beautiful, why don't we use 'plum' as the title and write a poem?" After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Lang again and asked him, "What do you think? ?”

Zhao Lang nodded, "That's a good topic."

Zhou Lan smiled flatteringly: "Since that's the case, let's start with you."

Zhao Lang shook his head, glanced at Shen Yijin with the corner of his eyes, and said, "No, start with him first."

Facing Zhao Lang's dislike, Shen Yijin became more and more at a loss. He really didn't know Zhao Lang, but he didn't back down from Zhao Lang's deliberate targeting, and nodded, "Okay, then I'll come first."

After thinking quietly for a while, Shen Yijin smiled, and opened her mouth to read a poem.

Startled, Zhao Lang glared at him, thought for a while, and read a song.

Others followed suit.

But no matter how you look at it, Shen Yijin and Zhao Lang are better, and the artistic conception is more beautiful.

Naturally, the outcome must be distinguished from Shen Yijin and Zhao Lang.

In the end, Shen Yijin won by one vote.

According to the plan, Zhou Lan deliberately said something meaningful to Shen Yijin in front of Zhao Lang, then winked at Shen Yijin, and finally smiled at Shen Yijin.

Although Shen Yijin didn't understand, but out of politeness, she also smiled at Zhou Lan.

Zhao Lang was already impatient after losing the game, but now seeing Zhou Lan's intentional guidance, he was completely blown away. He slapped the table and stood up, glaring at Shen Yijin angrily and said: "You are as despicable and shameless as the rumors are."

After hearing these inexplicable words, Shen Yijin turned cold and frowned, "No reason, why do you say that about me?"

Zhao Lang sneered: "Oh, isn't it? It's just a small game that doesn't matter. In order to win me, you actually cheated and won. Isn't it despicable enough?"

"Cheat to win? What do you mean?" Shen Yijin was at a loss.

Zhao Lang pointed at Zhou Lan, and said, "You and him started flirting just now, so the extra vote might not be because of him."

"..." Shen Yijin couldn't help laughing, he said helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense, when did Brother Zhou and I flirt? Besides, this word is also used very inappropriately."

Zhao Lang was furious. He stared at Shen Yijin until his eyes were sore. He pulled Zhou Lan over and asked, "Tell me, did you take advantage of him and help him cheat?"

Zhou Lan smiled sarcastically, and said, "My lord, don't say that, there is no such agreement between me and Zijue, Zijue has always been based on facts, so why would you let me cheat for him? Everyone has heard your poem, you are indeed a bit inferior."

Although these words sounded like explaining for Shen Yijin, they were actually sowing discord, secretly mocking that Zhao Lang's talent was not as good as Shen Yijin's, and he was not generous enough.

Zhao Lang laughed back in anger, he sneered a few times, and pushed Zhou Lan away abruptly.

Zhao Lang's push was just in line with Zhou Lan's intentions. With a move in his mind, he deliberately borrowed his strength, staggered and fell towards Shen Yijin. Shen Yijin was leaning on the edge of the pavilion with the river behind him, so Zhou Lan was so caught off guard. He fluttered, and fell backwards without standing still.

In winter in the north, the river will be covered with thick ice, and the pavilion is not too high from the river, so it wouldn't be too serious if it fell like this, but for some reason, when Shen Yijin fell, the ice suddenly cracked, and he fell into it. into ice water...
