Chapter 174 I Fell Asleep While Taking a Shower
Because Boyun already had Bu Yuxuan, they didn't dare to fight. Even if they won by chance, they would have offended the Bu family before entering the court, and their future life could be imagined.
After fierce competition, the first place in the three arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting finally emerged. Jiang Shu was undoubtedly the best at chess. The other three were Yu Gui, the son of Xue Shi, who was good at painting; Qin Buxia, the son of General Bu, the deputy general of Bu Yuxuan's father, who was good at music; and Li Lu, the most proud student of Ke Ci, who was good at calligraphy.
Although some people challenged them again, no one could defeat them. Those who lost were very unwilling to give up, and seeing the opportunity to enter the court was right in front of them, they did not want to give up easily.
Seeing that the matter between these four people was already a done deal, everyone's eyes were on Zhai Yun. Although Zhai Yun's archery skills were excellent, she was not good at riding and shooting. It was not enough to just have archery skills without being able to ride a horse.
In order to convince them, Zhai Yun also accepted the challenge of those students, but how could those people's fancy moves compare to Zhai Yun's experience on the battlefield.
They were defeated one by one, and seeing that Zhai Yun was helpless, they had a dark thought in their minds that in this competition, as long as Fengli Kingdom won any four games, they would win a great victory.
Yu Yun is just a wild boy from the countryside. If Yu Yun can get out of the Imperial College, then the place for horse riding and archery will be given up.
Then some people began to maliciously attack Zhai Yun: "Yu Yun hasn't officially become a student of the Imperial College yet, he can't represent the Imperial College in the competition!"
Those who wanted to enter the imperial court but could not get a place all echoed, "The Imperial College is not a place where anyone can enter. Yu Yun cannot enter the Imperial College. He is not worthy!"
"That's right! He doesn't deserve it. How could a country bumpkin like him possibly be admitted to the Imperial College? There's something wrong with Yu Yun. Our Imperial College doesn't accept students of unknown origin. Get rid of him!"
Zhai Yun listened to the noisy sounds around him. His goal had been achieved, and he no longer intended to hide his identity. Zhai Yun took out the token of Prince Rui's Mansion and showed it to all the students.
"I am indeed not a country bumpkin. Please look carefully at this token." The token in Zhai Yun's hand belongs to Feng Chenyi himself. Seeing the token is like seeing King Rui.
Although the students of the Imperial College had little contact with court officials, some discerning people still recognized the token and were so frightened that they broke out in a sweat: "This, this is actually the token of Prince Rui, this..."
Everyone was so scared that they knelt down. Some students secretly went to report to the teachers. When the teachers came and saw the token in Zhai Yun's hand, they were so scared that they knelt down.
They were just discussing in the inner room that tomorrow was the agreed date for the competition with Xuanyuan Kingdom, and why King Rui had not shown up yet. Now they learned that Yu Yun was from King Rui's mansion and had King Rui's token.
They were all trembling with fear. It was rumored that Prince Rui had killed the imperial guards around Emperor Xing'an in front of him. He was a monster who killed people without blinking an eye.
They arrived late at this moment, and were afraid of angering the person from Prince Rui's Mansion.
Compared with other teachers and students, Master Qin was obviously calmer. With the help of his students, he slowly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhai Yun.
As Master Qin spoke, the other teachers and students followed suit, kowtowed, and cried out, "We were unaware of the King Rui's visit. Please forgive me!"
Zhai Yun took back the token and said calmly, "Prince Rui is busy with his affairs. I am the young master of Prince Rui's mansion, acting on his behalf. Now that the six artists have been selected, I will report to Prince Rui. I also ask the top students to prepare themselves and accompany Prince Rui to the palace to meet him tomorrow morning!"
The teachers and students were shocked to hear that the man who called himself Yu Yun and came from the mountains was actually the orphan who caused a sensation in the imperial capital and was forcibly raised by Prince Rui to be the young master of Prince Rui's palace.
This young Master Rui, like King Rui, is not someone to be trifled with.
Zhai Yun didn't care what the people behind her were talking about. She had already done the task assigned to her. All she had to do now was to return to Prince Rui's Mansion and report the list of students to Feng Chenyi.
When Zhai Yun returned to Prince Rui's mansion, it was still early and she was told that Prince Rui had not returned yet.
Zhai Yun returned to Tingyuxuan. When she passed by the courtyard where Duan's mother lived, she went in to see Duan's mother. Duan's mother came to the Rui Palace voluntarily. Maybe Duan Yian said something to her, she did not feel any discomfort in the Rui Palace. On the contrary, with the nourishment of medicinal herbs, she looked more energetic.
Zhai Yun hadn't taken a bath for several days. Taking advantage of today's free time, Zhai Yun ordered someone to fill the bathtub with water. While Feng Chenyi was away, she wanted to take a comfortable hot bath.
Qi Nuo followed Feng Chenyi out. Before taking a bath, Zhai Yun rearranged the defenses outside Tingyuxuan and ordered that no one was allowed to enter without permission.
When she was in the palace, she rarely had the opportunity to take a comfortable bath. At that time, she was either fighting for power or imprisoned.
After being in dire straits all day, she is now completely relaxed. She doesn't have to think about anything or please anyone.
The warm water tightly surrounded Zhai Yun, and she felt a comfort she had never felt before, which was even more comfortable than a hearty drink.
Zhai Yun closed her eyes, enjoying the tranquility and comfort of the moment. Before she knew it, she felt sleepy and leaned against the wall of the pool to take a nap.
During this short nap, the water in the pool accidentally turned cold. Zhai Yun was woken up by the cold. The originally misty bathtub was cold, and even the water was freezing.
Zhai Yun moved her numb body and wanted to stand up, but found that her whole body was numb and she couldn't move. As soon as she moved, a numb pain immediately spread throughout her body, and her whole body suddenly felt sore and numb.
"Your Highness, please go and take a look! The young master has been in there for several hours. I thought the water had gotten cold, but the young master has instructed us not to go in." A hurried voice spread along with the sound of footsteps.
Zhai Yun must have fallen asleep. When the maids saw that Zhai Yun had not left the house for a long time and there was no movement in the house, they called Feng Chenyi. Zhai Yun looked at her body submerged in the water and wanted to speak out to stop Feng Chenyi.
The door was kicked open, and before Zhai Yun could say anything, he had already rushed to her side.
"I just fell asleep, and I'm awake now." When Zhai Yun said this, it was already too late. She couldn't move, but Feng Chenyi had already knelt by the pool to check on her condition.
Zhai Yun's naked body soaking in the water was reflected in Feng Chenyi's eyes. A trace of panic flashed in Feng Chenyi's eyes. He quickly stood up, walked back a few steps, and then stopped.
His voice was a little panicked, and even his breathing was a little irregular. "The water... is cold. It's time to get up."
Zhai Yun also wanted to, but when she moved, a feeling of sadness almost made her cry. She was numb and weak all over. As long as she moved a little,
