Chapter 167
"Your Majesty?"
Lin Yunwan looked at Qi Lingheng.
From the moment he went up to the attic, he looked very strange. Although his expression did not change, she always felt that he was different from usual today.
"I'm fine. Just say whatever you want to say."
Qi Lingheng stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the scholars in Jishan Society, his face became much calmer.
Lin Yunwan pressed the booklet.
Qi Lingheng turned around and asked her, "Why didn't you say anything?"
Lin Yunwan said quietly: "I never planned to say anything to you."
She just took out the booklet and told the prince that she was fully prepared and asked him not to worry.
Instead of telling him who she had her eye on.
Qi Lingheng chuckled: "Can't we talk to this king?"
Lin Yunwan lowered her head slightly and said, "...No."
"Why is that?"
Lin Yunwan looked up and saw Qi Lingheng asking very seriously.
Does he really not know?
She could tell him what she was doing now, but she didn't want to tell him anything too personal!
"My lord, why do you think so?"
Lin Yunwan squeezed the book tightly.
Qi Lingheng smiled slightly and shook his head.
Lin Yunwan was very... helpless.
She really didn't know what the prince was thinking.
Doesn't he know that men and women have great defenses? They no longer talk about great defense. Don’t they even talk about the difference between men and women?
"Miss Lin, they've started."
Lin Yunwan heard the sound and looked over. The scholars in Jishan Society had already drafted the topics and took turns reading their articles. This is all prepared in advance.
The distance is a bit far, they can hear some sentences, but complex ones cannot be heard clearly.
"Debating the 'method for learning'."
Qi Lingheng's ears were sharp and he heard it.
Lin Yunwan also guessed the topic of their debate. She said: "This is a topic that was debated by the two schools of psychology and Neo-Confucianism at the Ehu meeting."
"Um."
Qi Lingheng nodded lightly, but he really wanted to hear what the scholars of Jishan Society could come up with in their debate.
Seeing that Lin Yunwan was not listening seriously, he asked quietly: "Aren't you going to choose someone from among them? Why don't you read it?"
Lin Yunwan nodded and continued to look inside the courtyard.
But her thoughts were not on them.
...The prince is really very strange today.
Shouldn't they be watching the scholars of Jishan Society together in the attic?
But she really wanted to take a good look at the people below. She couldn't come to Xiaoxiang Pavilion just because she wanted to.
"Which one do you like?"
Qi Lingheng asked Lin Yunwan.
Lin Yunwan slowly turned her head and said, "...still looking."
Although I couldn't quite hear what was being said below, my behavior, language and demeanor were all very clear.
She recognized three of them based on simple portraits and character introductions.
Qi Lingheng said slowly: "Tell me, which ones did you choose?"
“……？”
Lin Yunwan looked at Qi Lingheng again, and then asked: "Does the prince want to help me with reference?"
Qi Lingheng looked at her inscrutably.
Does he seem to mean this?
It's just a misunderstanding.
Qi Lingheng smiled slightly and said, "Why not?"
Lin Yunwan thought secretly, it was possible.
The prince came to Jiang Qian to become a vassal, so he must know Jiang Qian better than she does. There might be some secrets of the rich family that neither she nor Dong Shuangshuang knew, but the prince knew about them.
"Those three."
Lin Yunwan told the positions of the three people, as well as the one she liked most, Yan Jingzong.
"Yan Jingzong?"
Qi Lingheng mentioned this person alone, because when Lin Yunwan talked about him, her tone was different, as if she liked him very much.
Lin Yunwan misunderstood, so she asked, "Have you heard of this person?"
Qi Lingheng shook his head and said, "No."
Lin Yunwan frowned and asked, "Then why..." Do you only care about Yan Jingzong?
Qi Lingheng glanced at her and said, "Think about his name carefully."
Lin Yunwan didn't expect anything strange.
Qi Lingheng couldn't help but remind her: "There was a traitor in the previous dynasty, Xu Jingzong - Yan Jingzong. Do you agree?"
Lin Yunwan couldn't help laughing: "It's just a different name. The surnames are different. Maybe it's because it's inconvenient to change the words on the genealogy, so it's just a mistake."
Qi Lingheng remained silent.
Lin Yunwan's heart sank slightly. Actually, if she thought about it carefully, what the prince said was not unreasonable.
There are many taboos in the court, such as taboos about the emperor's name and so on.
After all, Yan Jingzong is also the legitimate son. Why did the Yan family give him such a name? Aren't you afraid of delaying his future career as an official?
"You're just going to take a look at them and choose the one you like?"
Qi Lingheng asked.
"of course not."
Lin Yunwan would not do such a stupid thing. It would be too hasty to choose her husband just by looking at him from afar. What is the difference between blind marriage and dumb marriage?
I have suffered the consequences of a blind marriage and a mute marriage, and I can no longer suffer the consequences.
"I have a little plan to roughly test a few people's temperaments."
Qi Lingheng said nothing after hearing this.
She didn't even know them, and couldn't even go down to listen to what they were debating. How could she find out their temperaments?
"What's the plan? Can I hear it?"
Lin Yun smiled: "Of course. You have already said that the owner of this garden is your uncle, so I want to ask you a favor."
Without the prince coming, it would be a bit troublesome for her to take action.
Qi Lingheng is really...lost his temper.
"Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"
Lin Yunwan said: "Please get a pen and paper. I will write an article and send it quietly to the scholars for me. Find someone to read it in public."
It's not difficult.
Qi Lingheng waved his sleeves to Ah Fu: "Go and get it."
"yes."
Ah Fu came over with a pen and paper and asked Lin Yunwan to come over: "Girl, please."
Lin Yunwan took up the pen and wrote an article. It was not strictly an eight-legged essay, but it also started with the title "For Learning", imitating the pavilion style written by scholars, and then mixed it into the scholar's articles. , no one can recognize it.
After the ink had dried, she was about to send the article to Ah Fu and said: "Excuse me, father-in-law, please do it for me..."
"Won't you show me first?"
Qi Lingheng came over.
She wrote it all in front of him, so he must be the first person to read her article.
Lin Yunwan turned around, and the prince looked serious. He really wanted to see what article she had written.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
She sent the article to him.
Qi Lingheng took the article and wanted to read it carefully, but when she saw the first line where she broke the topic, she already wanted to laugh.
"Miss Lin, it seems that I don't know you well enough."
Lin Yunwan was stunned for a moment.
Is the prince teasing her?
She replied calmly: "The prince and I have always been friends between gentlemen. Of course you don't know... I also have a villainous side."
Qi Lingheng smiled and said nothing, and told Ah Fu: "Send it to them and find someone to read it out in front of everyone."
"yes."
This matter can be easily accomplished. Among the scholars of Jishan Society, there are still people who can neither speak Jiang Qian dialect nor Mandarin. If they cannot read their own articles clearly, they can only ask the book boy or other people to read them. Remember the people.
There are many people with mixed eyesight, so this article is easy to blend in.
"My lord, what do you think of me and the other two people you mentioned?"
It took some time for the article to be delivered, and it was no use waiting, so Lin Yunwan took the initiative to talk to Qi Lingheng.
Qi Lingheng said lightly: "Not very good."
Lin Yunwan wondered, the prince seems to dislike everyone today?
I wanted to continue asking him if he had any advice, but I decided not to ask.
She is afraid that the person she likes is either a traitor or a traitor to the country.
