Soon, Zhao Heng walked downstairs and greeted the third prince Zhao Kai and Princess Qinghe. He approached Zhao Kai's hand intimately, whispered something, and nodded to Zhao Ziheng again. Zhao Ziheng pursed his lips, seemed to not like the eldest prince very much. Zhao Kai seemed very close to Zhao Heng. As he said that, Zhao Heng led the two upstairs.

The hall returned to peace. Zhou Heng was filled with resentment around him. Looking at the little princess' back, he said lonely: "Oh... What a good flower, I don't know which cow dung you will be inserted into in the future!" He thought he was hopeless to pursue the princess, and his heart was very sad.

Chen Ao looked at Zhou Heng seriously and corrected him: "Cousin Zhou Heng, how can you insult the future Qinghe County Horse like this? It's too vicious to use your intentions. Is it cow dung? Is it cow dung?"

Zhou Heng curled his lips and stopped talking with grievance.

More and more people came, Zeng Sui'an and a few friends also came, and greeted Chen Ao with a smile and Zhou Heng.

Then another sect bowed: "Yang Zhen, Minister of Rites, the Taixue sacrificial wine to cultivate one's nature, and Tang Yan came to the Imperial College sacrificial wine."

As they were talking, the three giants of the Ministry of Rites came in together, and it was even more lively. Today, there were many students who took leave to participate in the competition and the Tai students rushed over. The two groups of people were clearly divided. For example, the Duke of Guo, Zeng Wen went to say hello to Tang Yan, and many adults went to greet him to cultivate their nature.

As for the young, they all went to the two of them to take the teacher's greetings in a hurry.

Chen Ao, Zhou Heng, Zeng Sui'an and others also went over and all bowed to Tang Yan. Chen Ao smiled and said, "Why are you here too?"

Tang Yan valued Chen Ao the most, and he smiled and said, "Are you invited Master Yang to such a grand event, so you will naturally come here. Chen Ao, I heard that you want to participate in treasure appraisal?"

In fact, Tang Yan didn't like appreciation. He just heard that Cheng Yangxing secretly arranged many students to come and cheer them up in person. He felt unhappy. This Cheng Yangxing is so cunning. I am afraid that he has made sufficient preparations for this appreciation. Today, he is instructing Taishen to show off and find the face of the last time.

Thinking of this, he could not come. Not only did he come, but he would never let the Imperial Academy be the Imperial College. There had been news from the palace that it was very likely that the government would come to watch the battle in a disguise, so this time he could only win and not lose.

He was very prepared in a hurry and came almost empty-handed. Looking up, there were eight or nine Tai students in the hall, and he felt relieved. Although the Imperial College was a little lower in academic knowledge than the Taixue, when it comes to appreciation, I was afraid they would be better than them.

The students in charge are all children of officials, and these people have many opportunities to see treasures. In addition, they follow their parents and are influenced by them, so most of them have some insight. Most of the Imperial College are poor scholars. Not to mention appreciation, I am afraid that the antiques worth a thousand gold have never touched them. Even if they have talent, they are slightly lacking in experience.

Tang Yan finally became convinced, and it seemed that he would not be completely passive.

Chen Ao continued to smile at Tang Yan and said, "If you can come to watch the battle, our students will have enough motivation."

Chen Ao understood the thoughts of the central principal. This guy has not been very close to Cheng Yangling recently. The reason why he came was to encourage the students. If he lost people, he would not lose. The Imperial College could not be at a disadvantage in the treasure appraisal meeting.

Tang Yan smiled even more happily, pressed Chen Ao's shoulder and patted him to show encouragement. Then he looked at Zhou Zheng and bowed slightly to Zhou Zheng: "Master, you nephew has a bright future."

Zhou Zheng stroked his beard and smiled slightly, "Thank you for the beautiful words of Lord Tang."

Zhou Zheng was very happy and proud in his heart. Chen Ao was his nephew and half of his son. He could get the praise of the Imperial College Priest, and his face was shining.

Just then, a eunuch in charge of the eldest prince's mansion said to everyone: "Please sit high on the second floor, sir."

Some powerful figures who were not prepared to participate in treasure appraisal went upstairs one after another. Cheng Yangxing reluctantly pulled a few students to whisper something, and finally went to the second floor in a hurry.

These people went to the wing room on the second floor. When they saw that the official family was also here, they were stunned at first and prepared to salute. However, they saw Zhao Ji waved his hand at them with a smile: "You guys, please leave the small window in front of you to watch the battle. You'll be spared. Didn't you see that I was in a silly manner today?"

Everyone was timid, each moved small stools, opened the windows, and went to see the scenery in the hall. This room was almost specially designed for the viewing of the battle. From here, it was completely clear that the movements and stills in the hall were visible. There were also some officials with lower identities and wealthy families, naturally, who had no seats, could only stand behind the prince, marquis, and adults, looking forward to watching from the gap.

Tang Yan and Cheng Yangxing happened to sit together. Now they are rebelling against each other. They attach great importance to this treasure appraisal competition. This feeling is no less than the last first exam.

This time, the treasure appraisal is in charge of the government. Who is good and bad, and the government can see clearly. Besides, the government is also a person who loves to appreciate. If there are students or students in the Imperial College, the Imperial College or the Imperial College will be honored.

Cheng Yangxing looked very confident today, smiled and stroked his beards, and said slowly: "There are many students coming today. Lord Tang must be sure to win."

Although Cheng Yangxing said this, his face showed a little sarcastic look. The old friend was getting bigger and bigger, and there was no room for maneuver.

As soon as Cheng Yangxing finished speaking, many officials from Imperial College smiled slightly, wanting to listen to how this guy Tang Yan dealt with it.

Tang Yan smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng must have been prepared for a long time. How dare Tang win?" This sentence means that you are too unkind and actually made preparations in secret. Tang Yan is not a person in this circle, and he has become a little slow to react. Even if he loses, he is still attacked by you.

Officials from the Imperial Academy frowned. Tang Yan's words were too harsh. It seemed that the Imperial Academy won. It was not because there were many people who appreciated the Imperial Academy, but because they were prepared properly. One of the adults could not help but say, "What is this saying by Lord Tang? What is the one who should participate in such a grand event? Is it okay to prepare for one or two times?"

When Tang Yan saw that he knew this person, he was a head of the Ministry of Works from the Imperial College. His words were a bit like a clear idea and wanted to ignite the gunpowder barrel. Just as he was about to sarcastically say a few words, a person sitting beside him sneered: "Saying this way, it seems that the Imperial College has won the first place in the appreciation meeting. The outcome has not been announced yet. Does the Imperial College think he has won?"

The man stroked his beard and looked at the movements in the hall leisurely, sneering. He did it in Jingzhao Mansion, and it was also an official from the Imperial College.

Tang Yan smiled and said, "This is right, the winner is not decided. What's the use of saying so much? We should watch it on the wall and wait until the winner is revealed before it becomes famous."

After all, the official family is here, Cheng Yangling doesn’t want to make a fuss too hard, and she also smiled and said, “Let’s wait.”

The eldest son of the emperor first went to Zhao Ji for advice, and then went downstairs to preside over the treasure appraisal.

The huge wing room suddenly became quiet and looked forward to it.

Zhao Heng could not have imagined that today was so lively. The dignitaries and nobles in Bianjing City had come, and even the father came to watch the battle in person. He was a little excited. He had been mediocre for half his life and had never received such attention. He took a breath and began to speak loudly to the appraiser in the hall. The opening remark was nothing more than the current emperor's wiseness and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. After a change of the topic, he gave a wink at the eunuch in charge. Many servants came in with many antiques covered with red covers, and then announced that the treasure appraisal meeting began.

Chen Ao, Zhou Heng, Zeng Sui'an Lian sat together, and several students gathered here; on the other side, the dozen or so students wearing Taistu Confucian shirts looked at Chen Ao with malicious intentions and sneered.

In fact, from the beginning, when these Tai students learned about Chen Ao's identity, their eyes became hot. Chen Ao's man and even his name were a great shame to the entire Taixue School. They won the first place in the first exam, and then the instructors wrote insults to humiliate Taixue. If any Taixue student could beat him, he would definitely be a hero in the Taixue School.

These people thought in their hearts: "This Chen Ao is said to be very good at running scripts, which is not comparable to him. He is afraid that he is not his opponent in writing poetry; but in terms of appreciation, he doesn't believe that this Chen surname can be so powerful."

We must teach Chen Ao a lesson so that Chen Ao knows that the students are not easy to bully!

As soon as the eldest son finished speaking, no one had announced the rules of the competition. One of the students had already stood up with a fan. He was born mediocre, but his clothes were expensive. He saw that he was a rich young man. He smiled confidently and his eyes finally fell on Shen Ao: "Brother is Chen Ao?"

Everyone saw that, wow, someone was looking for Liangzi so soon. Is this considered a reference to the treasure and avenge private revenge?

OK, there is fun to watch.

Chen Ao smiled quietly, but was cursing in his heart. He was provoking before the game started. Are you so impatient?

However, Chen Ao still smiled on his face and said, "That's right, I am Chen Ao."

The young master closed his fan and bowed to Chen Ao with a gentle manner, but there was no respect on his face. He sneered: "As the minister of the king, it is said that Mr. Chen has both outstanding poetry and calligraphy. I have long wanted to ask for advice, but I don't know if Mr. Chen can appraise treasures?"

The eldest son of the emperor suddenly turned dark. He made the rules of the competition. At that time, he would take out the treasures and send each person a piece of paper and a pen to write the antiques they put on the paper, and then eliminate the appraisers who guessed the wrong origin.

Who knew that these people were too ignorant of the rules! Before they even started, someone was looking for someone to fight alone!

"It's too unreasonable!" Zhao Heng cursed in his heart, and was about to ask someone to blow down the troubled student.

Unexpectedly, just as this thought flashed, another student immediately stood up and looked at Chen Ao provocatively and said, "Mr. Chen must not dare to compete with Brother Wang under his reputation. If you talk about poetry and books, the student believes that Brother Wang is not his opponent of Mr. Chen, but when it comes to appreciation, haha..." Then he laughed, and he would not say anything afterwards, it was clearly aiding the help of the minister Wang to force Chen Ao to take action.
