In the winter of Xiao Jingshan's first year on the throne, it was still during his father's filial piety, and the New Year was not too lively, the eldest princess accompanied Xiao Jingshan to spend the New Year in the palace, she is still unmarried, and she doesn't have to go back to the princess's mansion alone, but it's too lonely in the end.

"Sister Huang, I heard that you are going to get married at such an age, do you like anyone? I can give you a marriage. Xiao Jingshan gossiped with Xiao Mingzhu with a little curiosity.

Anguo is warm, even in winter, you can rarely see snow, this year's winter is still so green and verdant as in previous years, so that Xiao Jingshan, who is used to winter snow, can't feel the winter atmosphere at all, He is just wearing a jacket.

"Whoever told you such a thing, it's a mouthful. Xiao Mingzhu pursed her lips, her lips straightened, and she looked a little unhappy, Xiao Jingshan is gone, and the remaining women are reluctant to talk about marriage.

However, the emperor's daughter does not worry about getting married, his imperial sister, to be beautiful and beautiful, to be talented and talented, both civil and military, why is there left?

There is a story here, Xiao Mingzhu was also going to marry in the flower season that year, the first emperor wanted to choose domestic talents for him, who knew that the Jin Kingdom revealed that he wanted to marry a certain prince, and his arms couldn't twist his thighs, the first emperor thought that it might not be bad to go to a big country, so he responded, who knew that in the next year, the Jin Kingdom would regret the marriage.

Only the envoys of the two countries knew about this matter, and no one else knew about it, and the first emperor wanted to wait until the big wedding to talk about it, so as not to say it in advance and make the Jin Kingdom dislike.

Afterwards, I was only glad that I hadn't announced it in advance, and I was able to hide this matter, so as not to ruin my daughter's reputation.

Xiao Mingzhu knew about it, although she didn't know why the Jin Kingdom repented, but her daughter was angry, so she said to the emperor "no longer marry", and the emperor was not persecuted, so he didn't mention it again.

Later, the battle between Anguo and Qi failed, and in order to borrow troops from Jin, the first prince was sent over to be a proton...

The original owner didn't know these things, and Xiao Jingshan's plot was not involved, so he felt strange, how could a good eldest princess drag on until she didn't get married?

Now seeing that Xiao Mingzhu is unhappy, he coquettishly said: "I only hope that the imperial sister will celebrate the New Year with me every year, and I don't want the imperial sister to go to other homes, and I don't want others to come." ”

Such a child's words are enough to show a younger brother's dependence and trust on his sister, even if the words before contacting can only be said to be a little cautious, deliberately using such words to probe.

Xiao Mingzhu thought so, touched Xiao Jingshan's head, and said, "Don't worry, my sister is with you." ”

Xiao Jingshan nodded as if he was relieved, and rubbed Xiao Mingzhu's palm, he now knows that his task is not to unify the world, it is much easier, in this way, as long as he silently manages the country well, a certain achievement, in the position of the emperor, a certain achievement can also be said to be sitting on the throne steadily.

In this way, it is unlikely that he will not conflict with Xiao Mingzhu at all as he envisioned at the beginning, but as long as he works hard, avoids the biggest contradiction, and tries to seek common ground while reserving differences, he may be able to achieve a win-win situation.

It's just that Xiao Jingshen, I heard that he fled to a foreign country, in the end, it is a hidden danger, I hope that such a conspicuous target can be seen by someone as soon as possible and get rid of it as soon as possible.

After a simple year has passed, at the beginning of the new year, it is necessary to pay tribute to the Jin Kingdom, which is also a practice once a year.

Xiao Jingshan looked at the gift list that Xiao Mingzhu put on the table, this is really a big deal! Precious things are all on it, these things, he, the emperor of Anguo, has never seen them, but now they have to be sent to the Jin Kingdom.

"The list is okay, if the country is accountable, just say that the country's real estate is thin, and there is no gold and silver deposits, that's it, it's already the emperor of his country who has cut down on food and clothing. Xiao Mingzhu went through political affairs again, and he was at ease, so he casually deleted it, and then peeled off a layer of skin from the gift list.

The official of the Ministry of Rites was standing with his hands down, and when he saw the thing that was handed back to him, he hesitated a little: "This... In case the kingdom is to blame..."

"That..."

"Then fill this in, this is my favorite treasure, and I will play with the emperor of the kingdom. Xiao Jingshan picked up one of his toys casually, it was an artificial rabbit, sewn from rabbit fur, and the eyes were made of rubies, at first glance, it looked like the real thing.

Making a little reluctant, Xiao Jingshan smoothed the soft white hair of the rabbit again, and said, "I hope the emperor of the kingdom also likes him." ”

Xiao Mingzhu's eyes lit up and said, "That's right." ”

He took out the list from the official of the Ministry of Rites, deleted some more, added a few more toys that were not very valuable, handed them to the other party, and said: "Tell the envoy that you must make clear the respect of our emperor for the emperor of the kingdom, and that you are willing to give up your favorite things to pay tribute, and this piece of heart is the most important thing." ”

She also knows that things can't be too much, so the added toys are not too much, such a list, the list seems to be a little disrespectful, much worse than in previous years, but the profound meaning of "the heart is the most important" is easy for the Ministry of Rites officials to understand.

"That's right, our country is already barren, and there are often plundering and encroachment by the Qi country, and last time I had to give some supplies to the soldiers of the country, but now the land is not enough to make ends meet, and there is only this piece of heart that can be honored. The land of the country is vast and rich, what is lacking or lacking, what is valued is only this mind, where is it really for the exploitation of the border countries. ”

Xiao Mingzhu smiled and nodded, this official of the Ministry of Rites is still very good.

After the matter was discussed, Xiao Mingzhu turned his head and saw his younger brother who was still holding the rabbit and was reluctant to let go, and said with a smile: "Just keep the rabbit, don't send it." ”

Xiao Jingshan was very simply pleasantly surprised by this, and was happy after receiving the guarantee, but he thought in his heart, I really am a child, this is not sent to that, alas, I am not a monkey in the morning and evening, where do I not know!

He has a lot of toys, Xiao Mingzhu recently coaxed him to use toys to open the way, this intention has always made Xiao Jingshan a little puzzled, is the other party really reconciled with him, and saw the tragedy of his previous life, or is he using this method to kill, just to keep himself from growing up and not getting out?

After observing for a few days, he felt that it might be the former, because he was still young now, and it was indeed a suitable age to play, if it was the latter, Xiao Mingzhu would not need to let himself observe the government at all, and there was no need to put those important things in front of him.

Oh, by the way, he doesn't know many words, and this year he must invite a great Confucian to be a teacher.

Before inviting the teacher, the temple examination began first.

Xiao Jingshan sat on the top of the hall in a decent manner, and the eldest princess also had a seat in the hall, which was specially designed by the emperor, and it was the first one on his left hand, only one step apart, and after the other party sat down, he was still more conspicuous than him, and all the candidates seemed to have a look there first.

Xiao Mingzhu is wearing men's clothes, and it is also a good way to unify the style of painting in the court, she is already a little heroic, wearing men's clothes, if you don't know, I'm afraid you won't be able to recognize the other party as a woman, in the end, the outfit of this year is not so close-fitting, and you can't see the difference in body shape.

And the Adam's apple, in fact, everyone has it, but men are more protruding, and it cannot be used as an accurate basis for judging men and women.

"Knock on Your Majesty!"

Under the guidance of the internal supervisor, all the candidates saluted together, they have been trained by the officials of the Ministry of Rites for this palace examination, and they will be made neatly and uniformly, and the Anguo costume is loose, advocating the demeanor of wide robes and large sleeves.

"No courtesy. ”

Xiao Jingshan said a line, then stopped talking, and the officials who had their own heads began to talk about the discipline in the examination room and other things, and then the two internal supervisors started the exam questions, stood in front, and allowed all the candidates to watch.

This scene fell in Xiao Jingshan's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile, these candidates really have good eyes, otherwise, I'm afraid that the back row can't see the exam questions clearly, but they can't make a loud noise, and it is not allowed to raise their hands to ask the teacher, which is much stricter than modern exams.

After reading the exam questions, everyone lowered their heads and lifted their pens, Xiao Jingshan looked away, and asked Xiao Mingzhu in a low voice: "Sister Huang, which one is Huiyuan?"

Xiao Mingzhu seemed to be distracted, his eyes wandered below, he didn't hear his question, and he raised his voice to ask again, before he came back to his senses and turned his head to look at him.

The voice was a little high, and the nearby officials also looked at it, and one of them rushed to answer and pointed out the location of Huiyuan for Xiao Jingshan.

The place above the hall is quite wide, and the sound here may not be transmitted, or it may not be transmitted to the other side, and it does not dare to raise its head, and it does not attract the attention of the candidates.

"I didn't expect Huiyuan to be handsome. Xiao Jingshan said this, and then looked away, not noticing Xiao Mingzhu's two flushed cheeks.

Xiao Mingzhu admits that she is not a person who is greedy for power and sex, but she fell in love with Sun Wenxian at first sight, and it must be said that it was because the other party had excellent appearance, and then she fell in love with the other party's talents, but it was a pity that the other party abandoned these things, which hurt her heart.

That's it, come back in this life, see each other again, still can't help but focus on each other, and then think about the other party's previous remarks, perhaps, in this life, it will not be the same as in the previous life?

In the dead ashes, there seemed to be sporadic fires flickering, not ashes, as long as a little breeze, they could be rekindled into a bright fire, like the green grass on the plain, endless.

What Xiao Jingshan thought of in his heart was another thing, in the exploration of spiritual power, Sun Wenxian was also very different, a traverser, a trialist. If he becomes the champion again, six yuan and the first, this achievement can be said to be outstanding, do you want to fulfill him?
