Chapter 390 The fox’s tail is exposed
I don’t know if the title of princess is cursed. So far, I have never seen a princess who can do things reliably.
For example, although it’s hard to tell, Aldai is actually the princess...
Let's not talk about the issue of reliability. The princess doesn't dare to neglect when she comes.
Even in the Situ Mansion, it was not every day that the royal relatives came to the door. The maids quickly served the fragrant tea and cakes again, and each item was inspected by the Ouchi guards before being allowed to be put on the table. The maid felt a strong sense of oppression.
And this Princess Princess...
"Eat it quickly, eat it quickly, this is delicious, even if you don't want to eat it, I will eat it."
Perhaps due to the etiquette teachings in the palace, Princess Mingzhu still maintained an elegant manner when eating, but she was not slow at all in destroying pastries.
Even though she sounded very friendly, in fact, Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping were not familiar with her at all. At best, they only knew each other, and they had never spoken to each other a few times before.
I have to say that Princess Mingzhu is really familiar with her.
They were also surprised by the princess's sudden visit. They had never had any contact with each other before and had no idea what the princess wanted to do here.
But there was nothing they could do. The princess was here and they couldn't be driven back. Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping had to show their standard diplomatic faces to deal with it.
Tang Lianyu, on the other hand, kept pretending to be transparent. Princess Mingzhu didn't ask who she was, and she didn't introduce herself at all. A pair of beautiful red and phoenix eyes kept lingering on Princess Mingzhu, and she was probably planning something in her mind.
Originally, she just wanted to use Yang Yiyi's relationship to establish relations with the Situ Mansion and the General Mansion. Unexpectedly, she unexpectedly gained something unexpected.
She is pretending to be transparent now so as not to leave a bad impression on Princess Mingzhu, and is looking for an opportunity to make the princess remember her.
As for Yang Yiyi...
"It's really delicious. Don't eat all of it! Save some for me!"
Why are you starting to protect your food...
Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping were wondering what the princess was planning to do with her visit, while Tang Lianyu was thinking about how to leave a good impression on the princess, while Yang Yiyi didn't think about anything at all.
It is in line with her usual style, and her brain is a burden in most cases.
But don't tell me, don't tell me, it's really easy for a person like Yang Yiyi, who is completely careless, to make friends.
Princess Mingzhu, who was almost full from the pastries alone, poured another cup of tea into Shunshun, then patted the crumbs on her hands and said:
"By the way, I'm not here to play today."
But the first thing you say when you walk in is ‘I’m here to play’.
Of course, I can only complain silently in my heart.
Princess Mingzhu pointed at Yang Yiyi:
"I came here specifically to see her today."
Yang Yiyi, who was stuffing preserved fruit into her mouth, was confused:
"Huh?"
Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping looked at each other:
"May I ask the princess, why do you want to find Sister Yang?"
Princess Mingzhu chuckled and did not immediately explain, but asked:
"Do you know about the Young Heroes Association?"
The so-called Young Heroes Association refers to a martial arts competition that is held every three years and is officially organized by Liuzhou State and attended by a large number of knights and knights.
Someone should have said this after hearing this. Didn't you say that Jianghu and the imperial court should not interfere with each other? How come there is an official martial arts tournament? Your setting is totally ruined. Actually no, please allow me to explain slowly.
Liuzhou State seems to be in a peaceful period now, but in fact it has only been at peace for less than twenty years.
The ten countries of the Central Plains are very united externally, but they often conquer each other. There are always people trying to unify, but no one has the ability. The result is that the war has never stopped.
Because of this, martial arts has become a common practice among the people. This is one of the reasons why there are so many Jianghu people. When many young people are looking for a way out, they will consider whether to join the Jianghu sect to learn martial arts.
Now that the value of civilian military force has begun to expand, a general's talent does not necessarily have to come from a military family.
Therefore, the Young Heroes Association organized by Liuzhou State was originally intended to select talents from the private sector.
To get the top prize, you need to go through two stages: childhood and college examinations, which are equivalent to auditions. After that, there are provincial examinations, general examinations and palace examinations. This part is the real imperial examination.
But this time the test is for the literary champion, and the process for the martial arts champion is also similar. The Young Heroes Association is equivalent to the audition stage for the martial arts champion. Only those who have participated in the Young Heroes Association are eligible to continue taking the official martial arts exam.
But at that time, it was not just about force value, but also about military strategy and so on.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Jianghu people. If you want to become an official in the court, it is not enough to be able to fight. Most Jianghu people cannot afford to read military books.
But people in Jianghu know what competition is.
Obviously, the Young Heroes Association doesn't care who is ranked first. As long as they perform well, the contestants will have the opportunity to take the martial arts exam. However, as soon as Jianghu people heard that they could compete in martial arts, they all went.
And because Liuzhou State attaches great importance to talent selection, the scale of the Young Heroes Association is getting bigger and bigger every time. Is there any chance for Jianghu people to become famous faster than this?
Those who join the world are mostly trying to make a name for themselves. Otherwise, you can see that everyone has given themselves nicknames early on. No matter how high their abilities are, the nickname must be resounding.
Officials in Liuzhou were quite happy at first, thinking that they had strong appeal, and a large number of candidates flocked to the exam after giving the order.
But they immediately discovered that the Jianghu people who participated in the Young Heroes Association did not continue to take the martial arts examination at all, and were purely using the tools of the Young Heroes Association.
Are you going too far, taking the important matter of recruiting scholars for the country as a joke?
But before Liuzhou officials could take any action, Tianjue Palace went to talk to the emperor first.
Isn't this great? Everyone is smart, and people in the world are better than them. If you continue to test yourselves, they can become famous, and you can attract more talents, right?
Tian Jue Palace was a real relative of the emperor, and it was not a big deal in the first place. As soon as Tian Jue Palace opened his mouth, the matter was settled immediately.
But then again, Princess Mingzhu suddenly mentioned the Young Heroes Association and asked Yang Yiyi by name...
Let's put it this way, it feels like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a rooster, which is unkind.
"This Young Heroes Association is held every three years. All young talents under the age of thirty can participate, regardless of their origins."
As Princess Mingzhu spoke, she looked at Yang Yiyi, as if she was very excited: "This is a good thing to become famous, don't you want to try it?"
"Think about it!"
Yang Yiyi's answer must have been completely out of the blue. She especially admired the kind of heroes mentioned in the comments, especially the scene where a group of Jianghu people competed in martial arts to discuss heroes. For Yang Yiyi, just thinking about it made her blood boil.
"I heard it was very lively, and I wanted to go see it, but I never had a good excuse."
After getting Yang Yiyi's reply, Princess Mingzhu's fox tail was immediately exposed.
