Chapter 353 She is the Crown
She went over to stop Ji Qingqing again, "Second Miss, you can't smash this. This aromatherapy ball is priceless. We can't afford to pay for it if it's broken."
Ji Qingqing slapped her in the face.
"You can't smash this, you can't smash that, are you really trying to make things difficult for me?"
After she finished speaking, she threw the aromatherapy ball to Cui Liu and angrily cursed: "Bitch, you are all a bunch of bitches. When I become the Crown Princess, I will definitely make this bitch Ji Yuntang pay!"
"I want to make her understand the consequences of offending this Crown Princess!"
Ji Qingqing vented her anger in the room, while Luo Jingshen was still holding on to Ji Yuntang's mistake in the competition arena.
"Princess Ye, I will not pursue the beating just now, but you snatched Young Master Jiang's qualification for the competition, which cannot be forgiven!"
"According to the rules of Canglang Poetry, those who bully fellow examinees and harm the interests of others should be ruled out."
Ji Yuntang felt that Luo Jingshen was really annoying. She frowned and said, "This princess did not seize Mr. Jiang's qualification to compete."
Jiang Yunheng also stepped forward to explain: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood. Princess Ye did not seize my qualification to compete. I am not good at poetry and I am afraid of holding Princess Ye back, so I voluntarily gave her the opportunity."
"She didn't force me or coerce me. I gave up on my own accord."
After he finished speaking, Luo Jingshen immediately became anxious, "Jiang Yunheng, do you know what you are talking about?"
"If you give up the competition, your poem will get zero points. Even if your scores in the first four rounds are high, you will be pulled down. Are you really willing to give up your bright future for a woman?"
Jiang Yunheng didn't answer him, but asked him a question in return.
"Excuse me, Your Highness, since I gave up and got zero points, I will give the chance to Princess Ye. Can she get an extra 100 points?"
Luo Jingshen: "..."
Luo Jingshen: "!!!"
He wanted to yell at Jiang Yunheng, saying he was crazy, but what he said turned out to be...
"Are you doing this to Jiang Taiwei?"
Jiang Yunheng said in a gentle and elegant manner: "If my grandfather knew that I did this, he would definitely support me."
"With Princess Ye's first place in four rounds, even if I am not eliminated in the fifth round, I will not be able to win the championship."
"I still have this bit of self-awareness."
Luo Feizhou snorted a laugh from his nose. He glanced at Luo Jingshen with contempt, and then praised: "Mr. Jiang has a good vision."
"I think Mr. Jiang's suggestion is a good one. Why not add all his points to the Third Princess? What do the judges think?"
The Minister of Rites had a bad temper and he snorted coldly.
"That's inappropriate. Does he think Canglang Poetry Talk is a child's game? How can he change the scoring rules so casually!"
"This is not a common sense approach. If there is a first one, there will be a second one. If everyone follows suit, will this test still be held?"
Luo Sinian felt that Luo Feizhou's smile had a deeper meaning, and he intuitively felt that the other party had no good intentions.
He did not express his opinion impulsively this time, but thought about the consequences of the matter in his mind and finally came to a conclusion.
If Ji Yuntang really took away Jiang Yunheng's scores, not only would she be scolded by students from the four countries, but the Jiang family would also be offended by her.
Just because Jiang Yunheng doesn't care doesn't mean his parents and brothers don't care.
Invisibly, she will be subjected to a wave of hatred, making her infamous in the eyes of the students.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Luo Feizhou's move was to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Luo Sinian immediately stood up and said: "Minister Gong is right, the scoring rules cannot be changed."
"I think that we should just give my Third Sister-in-law a score according to the original scoring rules."
Even if Ji Yuntang didn't add the extra 100 points, she would still be firmly in first place, so Luo Sinian felt there was no need to cause trouble for her.
Jiang Yunheng bowed to the judges and said, "Your Highness Prince Chen is right. I was rude. You gentlemen can give Princess Ye a normal score."
Luo Jingshen was so angry that he couldn't speak.
He really wanted to give Ji Yuntang a low score, but when he heard the judges' praise for Ji Yuntang, which was as continuous as a torrent of water, he knew she was bound to win!
In order to not appear too different, Luo Jingshen reluctantly gave Ji Yuntang a score of 90, which was also the lowest score in her poetry competition.
But this did not affect her winning first place in the poetry competition.
The five rounds of competition officially ended. After unanimous summary and evaluation by the judges, Ji Yuntang won the first place with a total score of 487.
The second place was Zhao Qian, a student from a poor family. He was also a dark horse and won the second place with a total score of 460 points.
The third place was Princess Shuyang Song Weilan. Her total score was slightly lower than Zhao Qian's, and she took third place with a score of 450.
Jiang Yunheng gave up the competition, the results of the fifth round were invalidated, and his ranking was outside the top ten.
Cheng Rushan patted him on the shoulder and asked: "Yun Heng, do you regret it? If you hadn't given up the poetry competition, you would definitely have won the second place."
Jiang Yunheng shook his head, his voice still calm and gentle.
"I have no regrets. Letting Princess Ye complete the poem is the best decision I have ever made."
"Principal, I have decided to prepare well for the exam next year. I will do my best and will not let you down."
Cheng Rushan said with relief: "Okay, okay, I'm counting on you."
The Canglang Poetry Talk ended and everyone dispersed and left.
Before leaving, Mei Zhuyu reminded Ji Yuntang: "Princess Ye, go back and think carefully about which aspects of Dongchen Kingdom need to be changed the most. You can also give suggestions to the emperor at the banquet tomorrow."
Ji Yuntang smiled slightly, "Thank you for the reminder, Master Mei. I will think about it carefully when I return."
After she finished her greetings and went out, she found Wang Sheng's carriage waiting outside.
Ji Yuntang asked Wang Sheng, "Is Chen Hu not here?"
"Brother Chen Hu left early because of something. He asked his subordinates to take the princess back to the palace."
Ji Yuntang looked up at the teahouse and found that the doors and windows on the second floor were closed, as if the place had been deserted for a long time.
A trace of doubt arose in her heart. Luo Junhe was gone?
He was waiting for her to go back with him yesterday, but he left early today.
Ji Yuntang just felt a little strange. She looked around but didn't see Xie Liuzheng and Luo Qingge.
She frowned slightly, "This shouldn't be the case. I just saw my brother and Qingge were still here. Where did they go?"
Wang Sheng said: "When I came here, I didn't see Master Xie and the Ninth Princess. Maybe they left early because of something!"
Ji Yuntang nodded, "It's possible. With my brother by her side, Qingge will be fine. Let's go back home!"
Ji Yuntang stepped onto the carriage.
At this moment, the two people she had looked for but had not found were lying in ambush outside a mass grave, waiting for Ji Qingqing's arrival.
