Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 55, Second Prince Lan Chi, are you skilled in military affairs?

"I am tired, you may leave."

Most of what needed to be said has been said.

Lan Su lightly waved his hand, indicating that Lan Xi could leave.

"I take my leave!"

Lan Xi's mind was filled with worries as she bowed to Lan Su.

"Oh, by the way..."

Just as Lan Xi was about to leave,

Lan Su seemed to remember something and reminded her, "Lan Chi personally left the mansion today. Guess where he went?"

"Um..."

Lan Xi hesitated upon hearing this.

Recalling the conversation she had with Lan Su earlier, she instantly realized, "Did he go to find Bai Yu?"

"Hmph, that brat!"

Lan Su didn't answer her,

but snorted lightly, as if to say, "Does he think I don't know about his little actions?"

Lan Chi had informants in the palace,

so he knew when Bai Yu entered the palace that day.

Now that the results were announced, Bai Yu's name appeared on the gold list, like a dark horse breaking into everyone's sight.

This achievement was undoubtedly very impressive.

Lan Xi's expression changed constantly.

Did Lan Chi really go to find Bai Yu so quickly?

Did he beat her to it?

This was not good news.

"I will take my leave now."

"You may go."

Lan Xi quickly retreated.

Lan Su watched her figure gradually move away, lowered his gaze slightly, and murmured softly, "Bai Yu... who will you choose?"

...

"Your Highness, nice to meet you for the first time!"

At the same time,

in another exquisitely decorated private room of a teahouse,

the melodious sound of the zither echoed,

a handsome scholar dressed in a carefree and casual manner,

he did not bow, nor did he show any sense of hierarchy, just smiled and greeted the person in front of him.

In front of him stood a tall and sturdy young man, surrounded by two guards.

He wore a blood-red robe embroidered with brocade, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, exuding a powerful aura that was captivating and difficult to conceal.

"Do you recognize me?"

Lan Chi raised an eyebrow, looking interestedly at the mysterious scholar in front of him.

He didn't know the true value of Bai Yu.

But his father had seen him,

and he had also won the top spot in the imperial examination and wrote an impressive poem.

So, he wanted to meet him.

If he could win him over to his side, that would naturally be good.

"The princess likes black attire, while the prince wears a blood-red robe."

"The eldest princess is elegant and virtuous, and the regent is benevolent and wise."

"The second prince is powerful and domineering, unmatched by ten thousand soldiers on the battlefield."

"They are the twin stars of the dynasty, a legend often spoken of in the city of Liet Yang."

"As a soon-to-be official, I naturally understand the future leadership."

"This is the basic quality of a subject."

Bai Yu smiled and said.

So young, so imposing, and such a position... Lan Chi's identity is not difficult to guess.

More importantly, he has seen Lan Xi and Lan Su.

He can certainly find some resemblance in the face of the second prince.

The royal genes are quite good.

"Hmm..."

When mentioning him, people always mention his outstanding sister.

This made Lan Chi furrow his brows slightly.

"You didn't ask me why I invited you here?"

Lan Chi took a seat and asked Bai Yu.

"Nowadays, many people must want to get to know me."

Bai Yu took a sip of tea and smiled as he asked in return, "I know the purpose of Your Highness's invitation, but are you sure you want me to say it directly?"

"Some things are better left unsaid! And if I say it, will you believe me?"

The second prince is quite impatient!

The imperial examination hasn't even been held yet, and he personally came to see him.

Indeed, I am worthy!

Is it really worth that much?

It's nothing more than taking sides and joining a political group.

Entering the officialdom, entering the court,

It represents entering the vortex of power.

Various complex forces and groups will calculate and clash with each other.

Bai Yu stands alone, breaking through the imperial examination as a dark horse.

Without any background, naturally many people will focus their attention on him.

"Hmm... no need."

Lan Chi paused at his words and looked deeply at Bai Yu.

In just a short meeting and a few simple words,

This scholar has left a deep impression on him.

"I like the poems you wrote."

He is the eldest prince.

His name was earned on the battlefield.

He naturally has a special fondness for military officials.

He doesn't know the content of Bai Yu's other exam questions, but he really likes the poems that have been circulated.

"Haha, if Your Highness likes it, then I'm glad. I also like it!"

Lan Chi's gaze was intense as he continued to ask, "Do you value military affairs?"

"Do you value martial arts?"
