"I came to the poetry meet with Young Master Kun because the reward for the second question is supper?”
Then, Chen Hongyan thought of something and came to a realization.
"There must be a reason!"
He Kun replied embarrassedly.
Hearing He Kun's reply, Chen Hongyan's anger and embarrassment towards He Kun instantly resurfaced in her heart.
She looked at He Kun angrily. This person actually came to her poetry recital because of supper, not because of her.
"Look at the many paintings and poems about lotus flowers and plum blossoms hanging in Miss Chen's room. Why? Miss Chen, do you like plum blossoms and lotus flowers?”
In order to dispel the embarrassment in Chen Hongyan's eyes, he deliberately found a topic to chat with Chen Hongyan.
"Yes, Yuan Yuan naturally likes lotus flowers and plum blossoms. I don't know why, but I feel that they are the same as me.”Chen Hongyan nodded.
"The reason why Miss Chen likes lotus flowers and plum blossoms is probably because Miss Chen was born in a brothel, but she was unwilling to be influenced by the surrounding environment. Miss Chen feels that she is very similar to lotus flowers and plum blossoms in some aspects, so she likes lotus flowers and plum blossoms, right?”
He Kun continued.
This could be seen from Chen Hongyan's casual and habitual movements when she set the questions and the poems and paintings about lotus flowers hanging on the walls of the room.
"Young Master He Kun actually saw through all this?”
Chen Hongyan looked at He Kun in surprise. She had never expected that the thoughts hidden deep in her heart would be so easily seen through by the young man in front of her.
"Of course."
He Kun nodded.
"That's right. That's why Yuan Yuan especially likes the seven-character quatrain 'Plum Blossom' that he wrote with Young Master Kun, as well as the essay 'On Loving Lotus.' She especially likes the phrase 'Untainted by mud, undemonized by clear ripples.'”
Chen Hongyan smiled sweetly, as if even the bright moon outside the window had lost its color.
"Right, can Young Master Hekun tell me the names of the four ancient poems you wrote?”
Then, Chen Hongyan asked, her beautiful eyes staring straight at He Kun.
"Of course. The four ancient poems that I just composed are called 'Leaving the Force',' Mooring the Qin Hua','Journey to Longxi' and 'National Mourning'.”He Kun replied.
"What a good poem title! Unfortunately, no one knew that under the prosperity of Phoenix Feather, there was a fatal danger.”
Chen Hongyan stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the bustling capital of Phoenix Feather, she sighed.
Chen Hongyan's sigh shocked He Kun. He thought,""Could it be that Chen Hongyan has also noticed the drawbacks of Phoenix Feather using civil officials to suppress generals?”
Recalling Chen Hongyan's third question at the poetry meet, which was about " patriotic ", He Kun couldn't help but marvel. If that was the case, then this Chen Hongyan was really a beautiful and intelligent woman.
Just as He Kun and Chen Hongyan were enjoying the wine and chatting.
The news of a great talent appearing in Spring Breeze Yard, defeating the number one talent of Shanxi, Yu Minzhong, the number one talent of Guangdong, Yun Yougong, and one of the four great talents of Jiangnan, Mu Wenfu, and spending the night with the number one beauty of Jiangnan, Chen Hongyan, spread like wildfire in the entire Imperial City.
The name "He Kun" was also known by everyone for the first time.
……
Early the next morning, the morning sun shone on the floor of the room through the gaps in the window.
He Kun woke up from a good sleep and propped up his upper body.
Seeing that he was sleeping on the carved wooden bed in Chen Hongyan's room, covered with a silk quilt, He Shen immediately looked to his side.
Last night, he and Chen Hongyan chatted until they were excited and drank a few glasses of wine. He did not remember what happened after that. He was very worried that he did not mess around when he was drunk and had an indescribable relationship with Chen Hongyan.
"There's no need to look at him and Young Master Kun. We didn't sleep together last night.”
At this moment, a familiar voice came from the side.
He Kun looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Chen Hongyan. She had changed into a pink dress and was sitting in front of the dressing table. She looked calm and elegant, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she looked at He Kun.
Yin Ling and Jin Chai, two pretty maids, were standing behind Chen Hongyan, looking at He Kun who had just woken up.
"Miss Chen didn't sleep the whole night?"
Seeing that Chen Hongyan had guessed his thoughts, He Kun felt a little awkward. He sat up from the bed.
Seeing that nothing had happened between him and the number one beauty of Jiangnan last night, he felt a little regretful.
"Yes, but I woke up early."
Chen Hongyan replied.
"Since Young Master has woken up, hurry to the Examination Hall! The general exams were about to begin at noon. If he missed this exam, he would have to wait for the next one.”
Chen Hongyan reminded him.
"What is it? The general exams are about to begin?"
He Kun was shocked.
He originally thought that there were still a few days before the start of the general exams.
However, he recalled that he had been robbed by bandits and had been delayed for a few days on the road. Wasn't the general examination today?
"What time is it now?"
He Kun asked anxiously.
He had originally planned to participate in the imperial examination, become the top scorer, and become an official in the imperial court to complete his mission.
If he was late and delayed the imperial examination, he would not be able to become an official within three months. Then, his system mission would be considered a failure.
"Young Master, don't worry. It's only past seven in the morning, so there's still four hours.”
Chen Hongyan smiled.
Then, Chen Hongyan pointed at the bundle on the table beside her and said,
"I've already asked Yin Ling to place the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone in Young Master's bag. I've also asked the golden hairpin to change Young Master's outer clothes for you.”
Only then did He Kun realize that his clothes had been changed. He had changed into a brand new scholar's robe. Compared to his travel-worn appearance before, he was much more energetic now.
"Thank you for your careful arrangements, Miss Chen. When I am nominated for the Golden Roll in the future, I will definitely come to help you escape your misery.”
He Kun cupped his hands in thanks and left without looking back.
After that night, he and Chen Hongyan were destined to be bound together.
……
"Miss, can He Kun really be the top scorer?”
The golden hairpin asked her young lady as she watched He Kun turn around and leave.
"With Young Master's knowledge and literary talent, there is a 20 - 30% chance.”
Chen Hongyan replied.
"Miss, I feel that Young Master He Kun's literary talent is already very high. Why is there only a 20 - 30% chance?”
Yin Ling asked in confusion.
"Sigh, sometimes, taking part in the imperial examination doesn't just mean that you have good literary talent.”
Chen Hongyan sighed.
"If you and Young Master Kun can become the top scorer, perhaps you can really bring Young Lady out of her misery.”
The golden hairpin was full of hope.
He Kun thought that Chen Hongyan was suffering in the brothel, but only the golden hairpin and Yin Ling knew that everything their Miss faced was far more serious than being in the brothel.
