to find in this imperial examination.Keep these three papers together, and at this time, Li Chen received a paper signed by a familiar name.Xu Junlou.Li Chen glanced at Xu Changqing, who stood below w...Chapter 47: Polishing and Adding Fragrance

Zhao Tailai's face, which was full of rich expressions, instantly froze. He blushed, his otherwise handsome and fair complexion turning red, his eyes burning with anger from embarrassment.

Su Jinpa looked at Li Chen again and asked, "Master hasn't told Jinpa why you have this"

Li Chen, however, did not answer her. He said, "Since Miss Jinpa recognizes this object, then it proves that what I said is correct"

Su Jin's lips pursed into a slight bite. Even if the Linyu jade pendant was real, how could she, an innocent girl, publicly admit that Li Chen had received her father's instruction to court her

Li Chen let out a light chuckle and chased after Su Jinpa, asking, “What do you think of me”

"It's not that great."

Su Jinpa shook her head and said, "You've only met me once. Your appearance is fine, but it's not enough to marry me."

"What qualifications does it take to marry you" Li Chen asked.

Su Jin's lips curled into a faint smile as she said, "To ask such a question on your first meeting with my family, sir, don't you find it a bit forward"

"It wasn't out of the blue, after all, I said when I arrived that this time I came to get a wife." Li Chen said seriously.

Su Jinpa blinked her eyes and said, "My husband must be both talented in literature and martial arts, the best man in the world."

He should have the beauty of Pan An, the wealth of a rival country, the power over millions, and most importantly, share my interests and be the greatest talent of all.

Li Chen, hearing this, smiled and said, “Your requirements are quite high.”

Su Jinpa pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Since that's the case, does the young master know how to retreat gracefully"

Li Chen let out a hearty laugh and said, "Do you know my request"

Su Jinpa said, "Listen attentively."

Li Chen said, "If it catches my eye, then it's enough."

Su Jinpa, hearing this, showed surprise on her face for the first time in front of Li Chen.

After thinking for a moment, Su Jinpa said: "This request can be very low, but if it's high, it would be much higher than Jinpa's request. Young Master is really cunning."

"Miss Jinpa, you just caught my eye." Li Chen said again.

Su Jinpa, upon hearing this, actually laughed, "So to speak, Jinpa is quite honored"

Seeing the two banter and flirt, Zhao Tai, unable to interject, felt a mixture of anger and envy. He gritted his teeth and said: “This is a poetry gathering, not a place for your rambling nonsense. All present are the most accomplished poets in the capital. If you have the ability, write a poem on the theme of ‘Tengwang Pavilion’!”

With a venomous look in his eyes, Zhao Tai sneered, "I'm afraid that someone like you, who has no ink in their belly, can't write anything worthwhile."

Su Jin looked at Li Chen with interest and said, “Dare you, young master”

Li Chen laughed loudly and said, "Miss Jinpa said that only someone with the best talent is worthy of you. So what's there to be afraid of"

"Bring the brush and ink."

Seeing Li Chen actually dared to accept, Zhao Tai came's face broke into a wicked grin: "Fine, you want ink and paper, I'll give it to you. Let's see how long you can keep up the pretense. Just wait until Miss Jinpa sees through you as nothing but a good-for-nothing, then we'll settle both old and new scores!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, someone nearby promptly brought over a writing set consisting of a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Li Chen stood before the defendant's table, facing the gentle river breeze, but he did not pick up his pen.

"Well, can't you write anymore" Zhao Tailai sneered.

A bystander chuckled and said, "Perhaps he's thinking of some sentences in the books he's read before that he could copy."

"Haha."

A wave of laughter rippled through the crowd.

It seems like everyone is waiting to see Li Chen make a fool of himself.

Li Chen ignored them and looked at Su Jinpa, saying, "I wonder if Miss Jinpa would be willing to help me grind and add fragrance"age of the situation."Without waiting for Liu Sidar's reply, he directly said, "Bring me pen and ink."Liu Sidar was overjoyed, and almost skipped over to fetch paper and ink, presenting them to Li Che...
