Chapter 170, Second Update
On the second day at dawn at the entrance of Hanlin Academy, Ju Nanyi ran into Zheng Haoyuan, who was waiting at the main gate. Eunuch Shun Zi very politely invited Ju Nanyi to come over for a talk.
Ju Nanyi considered himself not very familiar with Zheng Haoyuan. The reason the Fourth Prince came to find him at this moment could only be one thing.
"This official pays respects to Fourth Prince," Ju Nanyi respectfully bowed down, obviously Zheng Haoyuan had no intention of getting out of his sedan. Eunuch Cang Er lifted the sedan’s curtain, and Zheng Haoyuan’s eyes were fixed on Ju Nanyi on the ground.
Ju Nanyi, what Zheng Haoyuan was thinking, when exactly had he started taking notice of this Ju Nanyi.
Yes, it was because his cousin especially liked the Floral Designs painted by Ju Nanyi.
"Scholar Ju, I hear you are the host for tomorrow’s poetry contest?" Zheng Haoyuan began to speak, his tone old and contemptuous, carrying the arrogance of someone superior.
"To respond to Fourth Prince, indeed I am." Ju Nanyi’s voice was calm. Did Fourth Prince want that Jade Bracelet? However, anyone with clear sight could see that this Jade Bracelet was specifically prepared for the Crown Princess Consort.
"Then please, Scholar Ju, ponder well tomorrow on whom the poetry contest prize should go to," Zheng Haoyuan suddenly leaned forward, his young age not diminishing the cruelty and threat in his tone.
"Fourth Prince, I am merely hosting. The final adjudication of the poetry contest will still be sent to Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, and who ultimately receives the prize will also be decided by Her Majesty," Ju Nanyi replied unyieldingly, his voice still calm.
But he couldn’t comprehend why Zheng Haoyuan would want that Jade Bracelet.
Although the Purple Jade Bracelet was indeed a rare treasure, within the Imperial Palace, such rare treasures were not limited to this one. One could say that any of them could count as a rare treasure.
