“Brother Junli, the preliminary rounds of the imperial examinations are coming soon, i still has not studied today, so i won’t chat with you today. You play some music and appreciate the flowers first,i will go read books now"

After saying this, Taehyung turned around and left, leaving behind a faint scent.

Fu Junli smelled it and he couldn’t help but knit his brows. The youth was not wearing the familiar orchid fragrance today. Apart from their azure eyes, he and Lianzhi were not alike at all.

This kind of realization made Fu Junli’s face turn cold. After a long time, he looked at the jade flute in his hand. He remembered the feeling of joy just now, and couldn’t help but soften his face. His flute has also been lying in dust for a long time now…

Fu Junli found that the youth was in fact really different from the person in his heart.

Other than those eyes with the same color, the two didn’t have even a shred of commonality.

The Lianzhi that he knew was as elegant and pure as orchids. He loved white clothing, soothing music, and orchids, but had a slightly arrogant and cute disposition.
Although he was low-born, he brought with him the air of a magnificent noble that could overturn the world.

And yet the other youth named Taehyung… he also liked to wear white clothes, but he liked fast paced cheerful music. He was fond of orchids, yet he did not love them. His temperament was cute, but it did not resemble Lianzhi’s air of haughtiness. Yet he also carried with him a different air, one of standing alone above a chaotic world.

Even those blue eyes of his that were the same color as Lianzhi’s, were different somehow. Lianzhi was lofty and unsullied, yet he was also pure, so pure that his charm could leave an imprint on one’s soul.

Often, Taehyung would call him ‘Brother Junli’, just like the person from that time would, yet  it always had a different feeling. It was full of a flourishing vitality that did not seem to disperse, and hearing it made him feel happy.

The imperial examinations that occurred every three years were just around the corner, and the entirety of the Country is very lively.

Jun City was near the Imperial capital city and was known as the Hundred Flowers City, thus, before each round of examinations, Jun City would hold a lively flower appreciation banquet.
When the time came, well-known and gifted scholars would come to the city to participate.

They would also compete in poetry composition. If they won, not only would they become famous, but they would win all kinds of prizes, too.
In the past, the prizes were sometimes money, sometimes even rare collections of famous paintings.

It was said that this time, the Minister of Revenue would be choosing a husband for his daughter at this flower appreciation banquet.
Everyone had somewhat heard of the Minister of Revenue’s daughter. She was a woman who was delicate as a flower and refined as jade, and brimming with talent. Therefore, the entertainment at this year’s flower appreciation banquet would be more lively than the previous years’ banquets.

Fu Junli would be a participant in this lively banquet. He wasn’t rushing over there to try to marry the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, but because all the accomplished and attractive gifted scholars were requested to attend as guests.

Since Fu Junli was going to go, Taehyung naturally had to follow. He had to take advantage of the time before the white lotus appeared to quickly get this person into the palm of his hands. Otherwise, once the white lotus appeared, his odds of success would be greatly reduced
