The seven schools compete for three days. All participating disciples cannot be over eighteen years old, and they cannot take any pills to improve their strength before this.
Although many elixirs can improve their cultivation, if you take one of these elixirs, you will have a certain resistance to similar elixirs. Moreover, taking elixirs to improve their cultivation is not good to take prematurely. According to the research of some powerful people on the Xuantian Continent, the effect of taking this elixir after the age of eighteen can reach its peak.
Therefore, this regulation is not inappropriate. Moreover, it is stipulated that all participants are prohibited from taking pills to improve their cultivation before the age of 18, in order to discover true geniuses as much as possible and ensure certain fairness.
Because not everyone can afford to eat elixirs. Some people were born in a family of Gonghou, so they naturally did not lack various elixir resources. They could use advanced spiritual origins. They had been guided by famous teachers since childhood, while more people were born with a slightly cold background and had a lot of inferior conditions. If they were allowed to take elixirs, then ordinary children would probably never have a chance to make a comeback.
It is as if the law fairly prohibits the poor and the rich from sleeping on the streets and begging, and fairly allows civilians and the rich to redeem them with money after committing crimes.
But the rich do not need to sleep on the streets and beg in begging, and the poor do not afford to pay for their sins. There is no absolute fairness in the world.
The start of the battle between the seven schools is a literary battle. Every year, the leaders of the seven schools collectively select three items and announce them before the beginning of the literary battle. This year's three literary battles are arithmetic, articles and scriptures.
The scene where everyone was fighting was a high platform, and a group of disciples sat down on the platform, with several cases and paper and pens in front of them. After the candidates finished answering the paper, they handed over it and then corrected by the judges.
Chen Lancai is one of the official judges this year, and Li Qingyao is her assistant invited to assist in the approval of the papers.
The answer to the questions starts at Si time on the morning of the first day, ends at four hours of Shen time, and the list will be issued after the papers are drafted.
What is really lively is the second and third day of the martial arts fight. Because it is open, thousands of people are looking forward to it.
The place for the fight is in Huayuechi. Aristocratic officials or some invited celebrities sit upright on the east side, while civilians can watch on the west side.
"I heard that the person who is most likely to win this year is Shen Xiuyan and Qingyao from Tianqingyuan. You should be very familiar with it." Chen Lancai sat in the front row, looked at Qingyuechi, and joked to Li Qingyao beside him.
Many people know about the relationship between Li Qingyao and Shen Xiuyan. This was what Li Qingyao said to his classmates in Yuehenmen, so there is nothing that cannot be mentioned.
"Although Senior Brother Shen has a fifth level of cultivation and a highest level, he is not the weakest of those who can participate in the competition for the seven schools, and he may not be able to win."
Chen Lancai blinked slightly, and she could feel that Li Qingyao's feelings for Shen Xiuyan were not that close. But she would not ask, after all, her relationship with Li Qingyao was not so close.
"It's such a pity that Qingyao. If you didn't have your own cultivation skills, you would have been able to shine this year." Chen Lancai sighed softly, "With your talent, you could have been on the Qingchengyuan list."
No one knew whether Li Qingyao could be listed on the Qingcheng Book, but Chen Lancai's words would not be annoying.
"Even if I haven't dispersed all my cultivation, I can't compare with Concubine Chen."
Li Qingyao smiled.
Chen Lancai's cultivation level is at the fourth level of the nine heavens, and she is only seventeen years old. Even Shen Xiuyan and others are far inferior to Shen Xiuyan.
But this is the result of her taking pills while studying in the Dayao Empire. However, she herself did not conceal her experience, and no one criticized her. Even if she did not take pills, she was talented. Now she is in the Confucian City List, so it is no one else's turn to discuss it.
"The Queen Mother, here is here!"
At this time, a sound of gongs and drums came not far away, and the nobles and celebrities who were originally sitting upright on the east side quickly stood up and bowed their knees.
"See the King! See the Queen Mother!"
Li Qingyao also followed the crowd to worship, and quietly looked up at the young emperor coming towards him. The boy's eyebrows were full of heroic spirit and his body was shining with golden light. He was indeed a son of heavenly luck.
"My luck is pretty good, and the other two conditions for becoming an immortal can be done." Li Qingyao thought to herself.
"All the ministers, get up."
The young emperor and the queen mother spoke almost at the same time.
"Thank you Queen Mother! Thank you King!"
Everyone stood up.
The young emperor's face twitched slightly. He seemed to want to look calm, but he was still too young and the slightest anger in his eyes could not be completely covered up.
As expected, the conflict between the young emperor and the empress dowager could no longer be reconciled. Li Qingyao said in his heart.
When Li Taipu was still alive, he was worried about this. When the former king passed away, when his son was still young, the empress dowager finally ruled the country from behind the curtain and took over the power. Li Taipu and his wife were the empress dowager's party, and they have been smooth sailing over the years and have a prosperous official career.
However, as the emperor grows older, the contradiction between the two begins to emerge. The emperor wants to take power, but the empress dowager is certainly reluctant to delegate power. Although the Taipu is a close minister of the emperor, he is actually the Empress Dowager. Li Taipu knows very well who his monarch is. But the king is the nominal ruler of Yu Huaiguo. Once he takes power in the future, the fate of these empress dowagers can be imagined!
Therefore, the older the emperor is, the more worried he is. What's more, the empress dowager and the emperor are not related by blood. Since the empress dowager are unwilling to hand over power, the ending will inevitably be defeated!
"Oh, my beloved concubine is here too this year! Is it boring to see these people calling around?" The young emperor didn't look at others and walked straight to Chen Lancai with a smile on his face.
He is only thirteen years old and has not yet reached Chen Lancai's height, but he just calls him "beloved concubine", which makes him feel funny when a child forcefully plays adults.
Chen Lancai saluted again, very decent, neither humble nor arrogant: "When you go back to your Majesty, I am just here to join in the fun with my friends."
"Are you the daughter of Mr. Li?" The empress dowager stared at Li Qingyao tightly and spoke slowly.
"When I go back to the Queen Mother, I am his daughter." Li Qingyao also politely said.
The empress dowager's face is simple and not a single bit of powder, but just a faint eyebrows, which is extremely beautiful. She is elegant and luxurious, plump and graceful, and she has a lot of charm without makeup.
But Li Qingyao did not relax her vigilance because of her appearance. This empress dowager is not simple. When the old king Yu Huai died, she was only in her early twenties and could stabilize the situation through a series of coups. Although she was less than 30 years old this year, she was also a veteran in the officialdom.
"Poor child!"
The Empress Dowager suddenly shed two tears and hugged Li Qingyao tightly into her arms.
So soft... Although she is not as big as Yue Lingjing, she is more fragrant than Yue Lingjing. Li Qingyao was not surprised by this action, but she still had time to compare the Empress Dowager and Yue Lingjing.

I moved today and didn’t sleep well last night, so I was dizzy today. The first meeting between Li Qingyao and Chen Lancai was really uninspired and could not write it out. I skip it first and find time to make up for it in the past few days.
