Chapter 71 Part 1: On Stage
Thankfully, no over the top descriptions of ML XD. I was dreading descriptions of silken black hair, sword like eyebrows, peach blossom eyes…….
If Jinghong fairy was a fairy who descended from the world from the ninth heaven, whose n.o.bility couldn’t be violated, Duke Su, Ji Heng was like an enchanting demon spirit walking in the quiet night in his brocade clothes, seducing the soul within a blink of an eye.
In the examination venue, the young man’s red clothes instantly s.n.a.t.c.hed everyone’s sight. That beautiful, flawless face had the magic power to make everyone be infatuated. Moreover, his gaze with a smile yet not a smile caused the slight smile hung at the corner of his lips to look somewhat wicked. This was a charming young man. Even the red mole in the corner of his eye looked flirtatious, like the dark gold swallowtail b.u.t.terfly embroidered on his clothes. The people watching him approached were dazzled.
He leisurely strolled into the hall, his walking posture was languid yet graceful, as if he was admiring the full moon in a courtyard. But in contrast, the crowd in the examination venue seemed frivolous, and the clean and matchless fairy in front appeared pretentious.
Jiang Li sighed in her heart, heaven bestowed such a good look. She had seen good-looking males before, Shen Yurong, Xue Zhao, even Jiang Jingrui and Ye Shijie. But Ji Heng’s handsomeness cruelly and directly pulled him and others apart. If not seen by own eyes, it was difficult to believe that there’s such a beautiful male on earth, or perhaps, even such a beautiful person.
All the surrounding people looked straight, including Meng Hong Jin and Jiang You Yao, they fixed their attention on Ji Heng from afar, unable to move their sight away. It seemed that everyone had forgotten that Ji Heng was a moody scoundrel. Even if he was a beauty, he was a moody and toxic beauty and it’s better to provoke him less.
Ji Heng didn’t mind the onlookers’ gazes in the slightest. Soon, just like Jinghong fairy, he immediately sat in the examiners’ positions. Now, including Xiao Deyin and the others, there were altogether five examiners in their seats.
Because Xiao Deyin was a teacher from Ming Yi Hall, naturally she would always be here from the beginning. She saw that Mian Ju had also arrived. He was the current Beiyan’s court musician, specializing in performing for the emperor and the imperial concubines. He wore coa.r.s.e hemp clothes, his style really looked like a hermit. He also looked really happy. There’s also a thin middle-aged man. This was Shi Yan, the current music official in the highest position in charge of rites and music and looked somewhat haughty.
But no matter what others thought in their heart, they wouldn’t display them on the outside. It was also unknown whether it was due to fear of angering Ji Heng or whether they were already fuddled by Ji Heng’s appearance.
Today, Jiang Li saw those she knew and didn’t know get together, she even saw Zhou Yanbang. Her sight accidentally ran into Zhou Yanbang’s and his eyes brightened. This provoked Jiang You Yao and made her look at Jiang Li cruelly, as if she was going to gouge her flesh out.
The exam was about to start.
The boy with a red scarf tied on his arm started to announce the examinee’s order. Jiang Li only listened to the number of the person she knew. Meng Hong Jin was number eight, Jiang You Yao number 12, Jiang Li number 13, Liu Xu number 18, Jiang Yuyan number 20 and Jiang Yu’e number 15.
Because there was not much time for everyone, the exam almost had no other unnecessary steps. Very quickly they were called one by one to go on stage.
Since the n.o.ble ladies in Ming Yi Hall could enter Ming Yi Hall, they were naturally outstanding. Even those that were mediocre, when put in an ordinary family, they would still be praised.
