On the other hand, Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi with a strange expression. She had a strange feeling in her heart. Was this guy really that charismatic?
Yan Xiu was also confused, but he did not say anything.
Wen Dabao was the only one who looked at Fang Zhengzhi with admiration in his eyes. Was this the true state of flirting?!
Even Fang Zhengzhi himself was a little curious. He didn't want to chase after her. Furthermore, to put it bluntly, he didn't have any money, nor did he have any family background.
Furthermore, he did not know how to play the zither or flute.
What was Immortal Tune doing?
"Young Master Fang, a toast to you." Immortal Tune raised her cup. Then, without waiting for Fang Zhengzhi to reply, she downed the entire cup.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at the cup in front of him and thought for a moment. Then, he downed the entire cup.
All of the other candidates wanted to kill Fang Zhengzhi with their glares when they saw his hesitant expression. He was obviously trying to take advantage of the situation and yet he was still trying to act innocent.
On the other hand, Wu Feng stood silently in place.
Even though he was being ignored, he had to pretend to be calm. Given his status, even if Immortal Tune did not reply to him now, she would definitely do so after drinking.
Yes...
She would definitely reply.
"Young Master Fang, are you not going to invite me to sit down?" Immortal Tune spoke again.
"Plop!" Wu Feng's legs gave way and he slumped back into his seat. His face was flushed red. However, he did not understand.
What was the problem?
He had been summoned by the Emperor. Furthermore, he was ranked higher than Fang Zhengzhi on the Rising Dragon Roll. Most importantly, he was proficient in music.
Almost all of the advantages were on him.
But he had still lost.
Furthermore, he had lost completely.
Illusion, this must be an illusion.
Wu Feng looked at Immortal Tune once again. Then, he saw Immortal Tune sit down and pour Fang Zhengzhi another cup of wine.
I refuse to accept this!
Wu Feng could not take it anymore.
He had suffered multiple setbacks. Furthermore... Or was it an unreasonable setback? Everything was perfect, and he had the absolute initiative, but reality was cruel.
"Fang Zhengzhi, today is a good day. With a beauty by my side, do you dare to recite a poem with me? The topic will be decided by you. "Wu Feng was enraged.
Unfortunately, today was a literary meet. If it was a martial meet, he would definitely challenge Fang Zhengzhi immediately, then use his fists to beat Fang Zhengzhi senseless.
"Poetry?" Fang Zhengzhi looked towards Wu Feng.
"That's right, you decide the topic." Wu Feng nodded his head confidently. He knew that Fang Zhengzhi did not know music, and would definitely not compete with him. As such, his only chance was to fight Fang Zhengzhi with words.
"No." Fang Zhengzhi rejected.
"Why? Today is the Wen Conference! "Wu Feng didn't quite understand. I've already picked your strong suit, why aren't you accepting the challenge?
"But I'm here to listen to the music." Fang Zhengzhi replied casually as he munched on the melon seeds.
"You … why don't we compete in couplets? I've seen your Imperial Examination papers. You might not be willing to compete in poetry, but I'm sure you're willing to go against me? "Wu Feng gritted his teeth once again.
"Nope."
"Why is that?"
"I've already said that I'm here to listen to the music. You're so annoying. "Fang Zhengzhi waved Wu Feng off, his expression one of disdain.
"Hahaha …" Immortal Tune finally began to chuckle. She covered her mouth and let out a low chuckle.
Compared to Immortal Tune. Ping Yang was much more unrestrained.
"Hahaha …" She did not bother to hide her laughter.
Even Yan Xiu smiled at this moment. It was as if all of the unhappiness in his heart had been swept away. He had completely relaxed.
Wen Dabao wanted to laugh, but he knew that he was not like Fang Zhengzhi or Wu Feng. They were not people he could afford to offend.
As such, his face was very red.
He held it in.
As for Wu Feng, his face was very black, even darker than charcoal.
"Since Young Master Fang is interested in listening to music, I have a few new songs. Would you be willing to join us?" Immortal Tune chuckled before speaking again.
Just as she finished, the entire Intellectual Loft fell silent.
All of the candidates looked at Fang Zhengzhi in disbelief.
They could not understand what kind of luck Fang Zhengzhi had. He did not play the zither, beat the drum, or blow the flute. He did not even compose a single poem.
Yet …
He was invited into the cabinet by Lady Immortal Tune just like that?
Was there any fairness in this world?!
Wu Feng felt that he should be celebrating tonight. After the Emperor's invitation, he would be able to win the heart of a beauty. Then, he would be able to enter the Golden Roll the next day.
As the saying went, one should enjoy life to the fullest.
He had done his best …
Unfortunately, he did not enjoy it.
"Huan" was snatched away by Fang Zhengzhi. Furthermore, it was snatched away in such an inexplicable and straightforward manner.
"Join us? To where? "Fang Zhengzhi looked at Immortal Yin and asked in confusion.
"Her chambers! Lady Immortal Tune is inviting you to her chambers!" Wen Dabao almost jumped up in anxiety when he saw Fang Zhengzhi's confusion.
"Chambers? But … I just want to listen to music. I don't want to sleep with her. "Fang Zhengzhi replied innocently.
"Plop!"
This time, all of the scholars who were seated fell to the ground. They glared at Fang Zhengzhi as if they wanted to kill him.
Sleep with her?!
How can Lady Immortal Tune sleep with you?!
What was going on in this guy's head?
Ping Yang burst out laughing. "Fang Zhengzhi, hahaha … I am going to die from laughter, hahaha …"
Yan Xiu was laughing as well, but it was a bitter laugh.
Wen Dabao wanted to laugh as well, but just as he opened his mouth, he immediately closed it. He suppressed his trembling body and said in a low voice, "Lord Fang, this invitation and sleeping together are two different things. Furthermore, whether she sleeps or not is not up to you to decide. Lady Xian Yin has to agree."
"I see." Fang Zhengzhi seemed to understand. But this plot was obviously a little off. Didn't the ancient books say that an invitation to the lady's chamber meant that one had to repay with their body?
It seemed like some of the stories in the books were lies.
Or perhaps, it was written that he had slept with her successfully. As for those who did not … It was probably not written. Mm, that should be the case.
"Hahaha … is this Young Master Fang's first time listening to music?" Immortal Tune chuckled.
"Erm, I guess so." Fang Zhengzhi felt a little weird saying that it was his first time. Even though it was indeed his first time.
"Immortal Tune is honored. Young Master Fang, please follow me." When Immortal Tune heard Fang Zhengzhi's reply, she stood up and placed the red ribbon in front of Fang Zhengzhi.
"Hahaha … hurry up." Ping Yang chuckled.
"Don't forget about the results tomorrow morning. I will be waiting for you at the entrance of the Imperial Decree Hall." Yan Xiu nodded and reminded.
"Official Fang, you must tell me about it after you listen to the song. No one has ever heard Lady Immortal Tune's new song. "Wen Dabao looked at Fang Zhengzhi with jealousy.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ping Yang, then at Yan Xiu. He finally understood why the term 'Casanova' was used to describe him.
It turned out that visiting a brothel could be done so openly. Most importantly, Her Royal Highness the Princess actually expressed her support for it?
How could he endure this?
…
Inside a classically decorated room in the Intellectual Loft.
A lady in a black robe was still flipping through the letters in front of her. However, her eyes were no longer as focused as before. She seemed to be in a daze.
After flipping through ten scrolls, the woman finally stopped what she was doing.
Her beautiful eyes looked at the bright lights in front of her. She bit her lips lightly, revealing an angry expression. She seemed to be thinking about something.
"Master!" At that moment, a voice rang out from outside the room. Then, a servant in a black dress walked in carefully.
"How did it go?" The lady in the black robe asked anxiously.
"Master, Young Master Fang has been invited to her chambers by Immortal Tune." The servant bowed and replied.
"Oh, what song did he play?" The lady in the black robe heaved a sigh of relief.
"Young Master Fang did not play a song."
"He did not play a song? Then did he recite a poem? "
"Nope. Young Master Fang did not play a song or recite a poem. "
"He did not play a song or recite a poem … could it be that he won the first prize by writing a couplet?" The lady in the black robe was confused.
"Master, Young Master Fang did not do anything. In fact, he did not seem to have any intention of snatching the first prize. Hence, in order to complete her mission, Immortal Tune had to take the initiative." The servant replied.
"That fellow is so shameless. He did not snatch the first prize?" The lady in the black robe was slightly surprised.
"Yes, Young Master Fang did not snatch the first prize. Furthermore, when Immortal Tune invited him to her chambers, he said …"
"What did he say?"
"He said that he was only here to listen to music and was not going to sleep with her."
"Not going to sleep with her? Hahaha … did that shameless fellow really say that? "
"Yes, I heard it clearly. Furthermore, Immortal Tune tried to probe him. It seemed like it was Young Master Fang's first time here. He did not understand the rules here."
"First time listening to music? Alright, I understand. You may leave. Let Immortal Tune act according to plan. "The lady in the black robe did not ask any further.
"Yes." The servant nodded and left.
The lady in the black dress picked up the scrolls on the table again and flipped through them one by one. However, as she flipped through them, there was a faint smile on her face.
"First time listening to music? Only listening to music and not sleeping with her? Hahaha … "
