Chapter 74 Part 7 - Riding and Archery (2/2)

Duke Su stood there, dressed entirely in red, holding a folding fan with golden thread, with a light smile and prominent appearance. But he wasn’t weakened by Kong Liu and Zheng Hu Chen’s martial appearance. On the contrary, he was magnificent, making Kong Liu and Zheng Hu Chen seem to be his bodyguards.

Still, always incompatible with the place.

In her heart, Jiang Li was astounded, what is Ji Heng doing here? In yesterday’s music examination, he surprised people by being the examiner. Could he also come today with a role?

It wasn’t just Jiang Li that was clearly confused. In the audience seat, Cheng Wang also frowned. He said: “What is imperial brother’s meaning with this. Why did he make Duke Su come again today?”

Cheng Wang had a restraining fear against Duke Su. Everyone knew, nowadays, Hong Xiao Emperor had complete trust in Ji Heng. Cheng Wang had tried to rope in Ji Heng, yet Ji Heng, this person, wasn’t moved. Moreover, his means were exceptional. After coming across several sabotages, Cheng Wang no longer provoked Ji Heng. Still, he continued to pay attention to Ji Heng in the dark. He was aware of the work Ji Heng did for Hong Xiao Emperor so as not to be killed without knowing what happened.

Princess Yongning didn’t reply, her mind had long flown onto Shen Yurong. Yesterday afternoon, after the music exam, Shen Yurong was supposed to meet her. But Shen Yurong evaded. Princess Yongning saw him avoiding and knew that Shen Yurong recalled his dead wife Xue Fangfei after listening to the music played by the female student and felt complicated. Thinking of this, Princess Yongning became more furious and unable to endure. Xue Fangfei had died, could she not compete with a dead person? She must get married to Shen Yurong as soon as possible. Shen Yurong was to keep up his infatuated appearance and observe mourning for three years, but she couldn’t wait that long.

She would raise this matter to her mother concubine, Liu tai fei, after the examination ended, Princess Yongning thought inwardly.

On one side, Jiang Li was staring blankly at the slip of paper in her hand.

A total of six people, aside from Meng Hong Jin, Jiang Yu’e, Jiang You Yao. There were still two more noble daughters from Ming Yi Hall, Nie Xiao Shuang and Zhu Xin’er.

These two people gave the impression of spoiled daughters of government officials. Their temperaments also didn’t seem to be particularly good. Compared to Jiang Li, they were on better terms with Jiang You yao. Jiang Li wasn’t surprised, most of the noble daughters in Yanjing preferred Jiang You Yao over her.

Of all things, it’s the last group……. Jiang Li muttered to herself.

No one noticed Meng Hong Jin, who was standing in the corner, glancing very quickly at Jiang Li. Her gaze was filled with a hard to cover hatred and satisfaction. This made her facial expression appear somewhat distorted. When people passed by her, Meng Hong Jin withdrew her sight and secretly grasped the wooden stick tightly.
