Today, Yan Su is not like last night. He is in a horseback riding outfit. Instead, he wears a court uniform. It is obvious that he has just been down.

He slowly stood still in the morning light, and looked towards them. There was frost in those black eyes that were very warm and kind with a smile. The thin and graceful lip line slightly evoked, with lines that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Meet the Imperial Concubine Hui empress." Yan Su politely saluted Imperial Concubine Hui.

Imperial Concubine Hui smiled and said without a bow.

Yan Su tilted his head, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qin Jiu, the raised eyebrows looked unpredictable. He didn't say much, and took the lead in the direction of Yushufang.

Imperial Concubine Hui's face was a little gloomy, the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, and his brows frowned with some concern.

Qin Jiu was not unconcerned, because she knew that meeting Yan Su here today was definitely not accidental.

The chief eunuch next to Emperor Qing saw the Imperial Concubine Hui Luan from a distance, and walked quickly to greet him.

"This is Qin Jiu, the master of Jianjia of Tianchen Palace. I am here to visit your Majesty today. I have troubled Mister Chang to tell me." Imperial Concubine Hui said.

Grandpa Chang bowed and bowed and said, "The lower ministers are meeting the Imperial Concubine Hui empress. King Anling and Prime Minister Su and the last year's new Kwu champion are in front of the imperial study room. Please wait a while." Imperial Concubine Hui nodded.

After a while, the little eunuch came over and preached: "Xuan Imperial Concubine Hui, the master of Jian Jia will see you!"

Qin Jiu followed the Imperial Concubine Hui and entered the Imperial Study Room. Going around a screen of crystal stone, saw Emperor Qing sitting in front of the dragon case. He is dressed in a bright yellow uniform with a round collar and narrow sleeves. He looks handsome and elegant in his forties, with wrinkles on the corners of his eyes and lips, and his complexion is a little pale. He doesn't seem to be in good health. There are not many attendants in the room, there are only two little eunuchs, one holding a cup and one grinding.

Three people sat on the chair under Long An's head. Sitting in the first place is naturally King Anling Yan Su, next to him is an old man with white beard, Qin Jiu scans it slightly, and then he is Su Qing Su Prime Minister. Another young man in a black shirt had just come in with Yan Su, the new champion Xie Dichen.

Qin Jiu and Imperial Concubine Hui met with Emperor Qing, freed from ceremony and flat body, and gave a seat. Emperor Qing asked Qin Jiu: "I wonder if Sect Master is good?"

Qin Jiu got up and replied: "Everything is fine with the lord, thank you for your concern."

Emperor Qing nodded and said: "I originally thought that this time Lian Sect Master would send a male disciple over, not wanting to be a woman."

Yan Su stood up and said: "Father, since even the suzerain has sent Sect Master Qin to serve for the court, Sect Master Qin must be outstanding in terms of cultural and martial arts. The sons and ministers also want to see."

Prime Minister Su also said with interest: "Your Majesty, although I have always had the rules for Tianchen Sect disciples to enter official positions, but for so many years, they have been admitted exceptionally. There is no need to participate in imperial examinations and palace exams. Are they really talented? The old minister would like to see it. If it is not as rumored, your Majesty can ask Tianchen Sect to make another change."

Xie Dichen also got up and said: "Your Majesty, just now Wechen heard from His Majesty that he had met Sect Master Qin by chance last night. At that time, the two had no intention of discussing the identity of Sect Master Qin. Wechen also wanted to be with Sect Master Qin. Let's discuss and learn from each other, and hope your majesty will be gracious.

Yan Su smiled and said: "The emperor father treats this as a palace test. If Sect Master Qin wins, he can stay. If he loses..."

Yan Su didn't finish speaking, but Qin Jiu understood what he meant. If he lost, it would be nothing more than taking a job or retreating to Tianchen Sect. Of course the latter is unlikely. After all, the Tianchen Sect should not be underestimated regardless of the ruling and opposition forces, and it is still necessary to give face.

Qin Jiu watched Yan Su, Prime Minister Su, and Xie Dichen sing and sing, and Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. Obviously, these three people were prepared to appear in the Yushufang.

The assassination last night was naturally not a discussion. Those three sergeants must have told Yan Su of her identity as Tianchen Sect, and Yan Su had moved to murder. With his temperament, naturally he would not attack a woman who snatched his lantern. Now, to put it lightly, the assassination has become a discussion. Yan Su clearly knew that she was injured, but now he brought last year's Wu champion to test her, and it was obvious that he wanted to drive her back.

Imperial Concubine Hui said with a dissatisfied expression: "Your Majesty, it is a bit unfair to let Ajiu and Wu Zhuangyuan compete."

Prime Minister Su sneered: "Why is it unfair? If you can't beat Wu Zhuangyuan, isn't Wen Tao Wulue talking nonsense! Why should we admit Tianchen Sect disciples out of order?"

Emperor Qing laughed and said: "I haven't seen the martial arts test for a long time, so it's better to learn from each other, it doesn't matter if you win or lose."

The emperor had agreed, and Imperial Concubine Hui knew that he could not avoid it, so he gave Qin Jiu a helpless look.

Qin Jiu weighed it down. She knew her current martial arts very well. If she was not injured last night, she could have a fight with Xie Dichen today. It’s just that it’s hard to beat the injury.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I can postpone the day of the competition? The girl came all the way, her body was slightly unwell, and she was afraid that she could not deal with it with all her strength." Qin Jiu whispered.

Prime Minister Su and Xie Dichen obviously didn't expect Qin Jiu to shirk this way. They were both taken aback and raised their eyes to ask Yan Su for advice.

Yan Su said with a smile instead of a smile: "Sect Master Qin, if the enemy is going to attack the city, would you not fight because of your health?"

Emperor Qing listened in silence and snorted, "Sect Master Qin doesn't need to be too serious, just play it."

The emperor said so, and Qin Jiu knew he couldn't escape it. Had she known that Yan Su would have such a trick, she would definitely heal her wounds before coming to see the emperor. It was because she was not thoughtful enough to blame others.

"So, please be merciful to Master Xie!" Qin Jiu said in a salute.

It was said that they were playing with each other. In fact, the emperor gave an order and Grandpa Chang instructed the eunuch to set up the stands outside. Such a big movement quickly spread to everyone. Perhaps, someone had preached something in advance. In short, when Qin Jiu arrived at the place of competition, he saw many ministers who had come to the court and had never left the palace waiting there.

The place of competition is located in the imperial garden.

In front of the garden is a large piece of flat land, surrounded by tall trees, which can be used to escape the heat in summer. At this time, the trees had not yet sprouted, and they were all bare.

After Qin Jiu and Xie Dichen met and saluteed, they started fighting.

In fact, this was a fight with no suspense at all. Perhaps it was a fight that Qin Jiu would lose from the beginning.

Even so, Qin Jiu still refused to neglect, hoping that some miracle would happen. When she clung to the flower bandage and pierced the embroidery needle out. This scene really surprised everyone onlookers. If the criterion for winning is to be amazing, then Qin Jiu must be the winner.

However, the two of them did not have many tricks, and Qin Jiu's silk thread was cut off three by Xie Dichen's sword that cut iron like mud.

Qin Jiu's strength is much worse than yesterday. Not only did she suffer trauma, but her internal strength was also damaged. This kind of silk thread is made of shark silk. If enough internal force is injected, it can cut the sword. But if there is not enough internal force, it is just a little tougher than ordinary silk thread, and it will still be easily cut off.

Qin Jiu heartily held the broken shark silks, which were not so easy to get. When she was still distressed, Xie Dichen's sword came to her with the sound of wind.

Qin Jiu twisted his body and avoided.

"I lost!" Qin Jiu said, holding the bandage.

The wound on her body was already open, and it hurts badly when she moved. She was the person most afraid of pain. Besides, she didn't want to lose Yusi again.

Xie Dichen put away his sword, turned his head to look, Qin Jiu had already begun to count the few shark silks that were left holding the flower bandage.

"Sect Master Qin, are you really playing? You haven't lost yet!" Xie Dichen said coldly.

Qin Jiu squinted his eyes and said, "My weapon is gone, why didn't I lose?" Is it true that she must die under his sword to admit defeat? Qin Jiu walked quickly to the front of Emperor Qing, and said, "Qin Jiu is not as skilled as others, so he is willing to give up."

Prime Minister Su Su Qing immediately answered: "Your Majesty, it seems that Tianchen Sect's disciples are not all outstanding."

Emperor Qing's brows narrowed slightly, as if he was hesitating how to deal with this matter.

Yan Su stepped forward and said: "Father, Sect Master Qin has some skills in brocade, so let her work in Sizhifang first!"

Although Sizhifang is not an idle job, it is actually no different from an idle job. After going there, Qin Jiu would be able to overcome the storm no matter what.

Emperor Qing nodded and said, "That's fine."

Qin Jiu took the post, and when thanking him, he asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder if the ministers can participate in this year's Chunwei test?"

Emperor Qing was stunned for a moment, but he did not expect Qin Jiu to propose to participate in the spring test. After thinking for a moment, he said: "It's time."

Seeing the confused dears express their anxieties, the truth emerges a little bit after seeing the back.
