With some of the schoolwork that the students had done recently, Gong Hui Jin asked him some questions while flipping through Yuan Mingjiang's essay.

The voice is clear, the conversation is moderate, and the words are concise and to the point. nor is he biased because of his status as a prince.

Yuan Mingjiang entered the Guoyong prison two years before her, and the problems of Gong Hui Jin are not only limited to historical books, but also involve the current people's livelihood and civil affairs.

The purse was clenched tightly in his hand, and Yuan Jiusi stared at Gong Hui Jin's closed mouth without turning his eyes. Thin lips are beautiful, very seductive and good-looking. Such a good color, if it is placed in normal times, she may still be in the mood to appreciate it.

No matter what the person who came forward answered, Gong Hui Jin always smiled slightly, and her preferences were not revealed. That smile is obviously supposed to make people feel like a spring breeze, but his is unpredictable, which really makes people worried.

Fortunately, Yuan Mingjiang's psychological quality is still good, but whenever Gong Huijin asks, he answers in an orderly and unhurried manner, and he has his own insights when it comes to the handling of certain situations. Although he is not necessarily lofty, he can see that he has set up hard work in private.

Yuan Mingjiang spoke decently, and Emperor Xuan on the high platform dragon chair couldn't help but nod approvingly.

The penman on the side saw that Emperor Xuan was happy, and couldn't help but write excitedly. Yuan Jiusi's gaze fell on the pen they were waving at great speed.

I don't know how much the people portrayed His Royal Highness the Prince, and he learned from others.

Perhaps as long as the force was one more point heavier, the paper should have been punctured.

At that moment, Yuan Jiusi couldn't help but wonder if he and Yuan Mingjiang, Lang Yuege and the others were on the same Guoyong prison.

After Yuan Xihe, it was her turn. As Gong Hui Jin read her name, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at the pretty cherry pink.

Facing Emperor Xuan and Nie Guifei's slightly expectant eyes, Yuan Jiusi's scalp was numb.

was about to get up and walk towards the hall, Yuan Huainan, who was sitting next to her, whispered pointedly: "If the imperial sister gives full play to her usual ability to make up nonsense and fool people today."

Grabbing the last straw, Yuan Jiusi thought about this sentence as he walked, and felt that it made sense. I didn't see that Yuan Huainan was such a witty child, and it was her younger brother in vain.

Anyway, there will never be anything more humiliating or worse today than not being able to answer. Opportunistic, Sima is a live horse doctor, but it is a way.

・

Standing in the luxurious Chaoyun Palace, Yuan Jiusi did not pay attention to Gong Hui Jin. Instead, he saluted Emperor Xuan and Nie Guifei, who were sitting on the high seat, and got up slowly, and then bowed her golden waist to Gong Hui Jin humbly.

"Lord Shangqing. The sound is like a pearl falling and the jade is broken, and there is no panic.

Gong Hui Jin didn't say a word, her sword eyebrows raised, and she looked at her with a slightly casual expression. And what he was pinching between his slender fingers was the homework she had done a few days ago.

Although Xia Yi also advocated the saying of "respecting teachers and respecting the way", in fact, the prince and princess did not have to bow down when they saw their concubine, let alone a foreign minister like Gong Hui Jin, who had no contact with them.

Sure enough, Emperor Xuan on the high seat seemed puzzled, "Shuyi is this." ”

With a shallow smile, Yuan Jiusi replied softly and obediently: "Back to my father, what I saw and heard in today's palace examination has benefited my sons a lot. In fact, Erchen accumulated some questions that he didn't understand when he was studying two days ago, and he also calculated that after studying and going to Guoyong Prison to consult the Taifu, he didn't expect to hear some insights from the prince's brother and Roude Huangjie, and he didn't understand the things he didn't understand on weekdays. ”

The great hall suddenly fell silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin dropping. Yuan Jiusi couldn't help but look up at Emperor Xuan's face, but fortunately, the latter's expression was not unusual.

Yuan Jiusi estimated that time could grind for a point, so he simply resisted the pressure and dared to continue to talk nonsense.

"Erchen heard before that it was Lord Shangqing who advised his father to change the palace examination to oral presentation. As the old saying goes, 'A teacher preaches and teaches to solve doubts' (1). And if you are a threesome, you must have my teacher. Erchen thought that although Lord Shangqing did not directly solve Shuyi's difficulties, the adults arranged such a palace examination, which was actually more than before. In order to express her gratitude, Shuyi made this great gift to Lord Shangqing, and Lord Shangqing deserved to be worshiped by Shuyi. ”

Yuan Jiusi's words were straightforward, and in order to highlight that she was more educated, she also deliberately memorized a few sentences that she had memorized before.

In the hall, Emperor Xuan pondered for a long time, as if he was touched. He turned his head and gestured to Gong Hui Jin, "What does Aiqing think?"

Listening to Yuan Jiusi's words, Gong Hui Jin lightly hooked the corners of her lips, her smile was obviously clean, but it seemed to have a deep meaning.

Out of a weak heart, Yuan Jiusi didn't dare to look at him, but this did not prevent her from expressing disdain in her heart. Dressed in plain court clothes, people who don't know still think how moonlight and graceful he is.

"The princess praised falsely, and the ministers were terrified. Gong Hui Jin said while taking her schoolwork carefully, but she didn't look so frightened.

"Princess, this is "White Speech"?" he asked casually, scanning the title of her article.

Yuan Jiusi was about to answer him, but Gong Hui Jin didn't continue to read, but instead stretched out his hand to flip through the small pile of homework that he had already read.

was puzzled in his heart, and Yuan Jiusi saw that he directly pulled out an article by Yuan Xihe, and compared the schoolwork of the two side by side, seemingly casually.

If his actions are unintentional, they can frighten some people.

After a silent comparison, Gong Hui Jin still smiled gently, he looked beyond Yuan Jiusi and looked straight at Yuan Xihe, who had retreated to the side of the hall, and said meaningfully: "Princess Roude's words are elegant and beautiful, and the charm is vivid, as long as you pay a little attention to Mo Lufeng, it is a good product." ”

Yuan Xihe immediately froze when he heard this, and his little face turned pale. It wasn't until the servant behind her touched her lightly that Yuan Xihe came back to his senses and hurriedly nodded: "Lord Roude Xie for guidance." ”

Yuan Jiusi listened to his words, only to feel like thunder, but he saw the clue.

If this matter is shaken in front of his father like this, the imperial sister will inevitably be implicated, and it will not be easy to bring the flower paper Lanyi. Yuan Jiusi's blood surged, and he gritted his teeth and tried to justify: "Adults may not know"

But Gong Hui Jin didn't give any chance to defend herself, and turned to her: "Since Princess Shuyi's article is called "Bai Shouci", it must be very clear that 'black hair does not know how to study early, and Bai Shoufang regrets studying late' (2). He interrupted her unhurriedly, a smile on his lips.

thought he was going to expose himself in public, but he didn't expect him to turn the conversation back.

I couldn't figure out what Gong Hui Jin meant, so she smiled and said yes while she was afraid. This feeling of being a fish and being slaughtered by others is terrible.

Chen remembered that the pre-Qin Dynasty had an article "Persuasion", which was simple and profound, and the truth was profound. Princess Shuyi, why don't you tell me about this today?" There was a hint of banter in his deep eyes, and as he spoke, his white fingertips kept rubbing back and forth against the thin paper full of words.

It's like a silent threat,

Yuan Jiusi deeply thought that if she dared to disobey at all, the consequences would be unimaginable. The person who knows the times is Junjie, and she comforts herself not to worry about the villain.

After stabilizing his mind, Yuan Jiusi memorized it fairly smoothly, and thankfully, this article Machiko asked them to memorize it earlier. So she explained while reciting: "The gentleman said: If you can't learn, you can't already write a poem: "Gentleman, there is no eternal rest." Jing Gonger's position, good is integrity. God listens to it, and Jie Er Jingfu (3). ”

"Princess, wait," Gong Hui Jin interrupted her suddenly, with a humble and earnest attitude.

"What does the princess mean by this sentence with her minister?"

Yuan Jiusi didn't remember it well, but now he was very fragile, and he forgot about it after being frightened.

Seeing that she was stunned, Gong Hui Jin hooked her lips and smiled, and unexpectedly warmly resolved the embarrassment for her.

He explained to her gently, patiently and carefully, like a close-fitting padded jacket. "'Don't always be covetous, you man. Treat your duties with respect, and love the virtues of integrity. When the gods hear this qiē, they will give you great blessings (4)'. The princess thinks it's a good explanation?"

Smacking his words, Yuan Jiusi was very suspicious that he was scolding himself around the corner. can bump into it, and Gong Huijin's gaze is so frank and open.

Caught off guard, Yuan Jiusi was poured a big bowl of chicken soup by him.

Her heart was no longer a taste, and she couldn't have a seizure at will, so she hung her head and nodded gently and delicately, "My lord said yes." ”

If there was a bronze mirror in front of him, Yuan Jiusi would definitely be able to see his purple face, which was alternating between blue and red, and also blended with a little bit of harmony. She said, "How could that guy be kind and really help her."

Not only did he have the ambition to eat the leopard and dare to blackmail her, but he also designed to ridicule her.

Yuan Jiusi struggled to memorize it. At this time, it is not too late to cut him with a thousand knives afterwards. Fortunately, it is much easier to endorse than to answer those historical events. She put up with it.

***

When he stepped out of the Chaoyun Palace, Yuan Jiusi's whole person was light and fluttering, as if walking on the clouds. Although the questions of the palace exam this time are not difficult, her glass heart has been greatly traumatized, and no one has ever dared to treat her like this.

When she stepped out of the hall gate, Yuan Jiusi had been paying attention to the simple and elegant figure, and she deliberately slowed down her steps and fell behind people.

Seeing that she was not stumped, Hua Jian was still happy in her heart, and she couldn't stop talking as soon as she was happy, so she whispered behind Yuan Jiusi: "Thanks to Lord Gonghui's leniency this time, otherwise I will definitely make Your Majesty unhappy." It seems that the princess's words are still taken to heart, princess, this matter is enough once, haven't you listened to the advice of the princess?

Before she finished speaking, Yuan Jiusi turned his head to glare at her, and said bitterly: "Hua Jian, when did you learn to turn your elbows outward?

The mouth of the flower note was flattened, and he lowered his eyes and did not dare to contradict it.

The person who wanted to wait didn't come out for a long time, Yuan Jiusi was a little impatient, so he simply sat and waited for him directly by the Nanping Zhu Bridge outside Chaoyun Palace. It was nearly noon, and she had been fighting wits for so long, in fact, she was a little hungry.

After waiting for a long time, Yuan Jiusi finally saw a long and handsome figure slowly coming. Yuan Jiusi hurriedly poked the maid next to him, "Flower note, hurry up, go and invite Gong Hui Jin over." ”

After thinking about it, Yuan Jiusi added again, "Be careful not to let people see it." "It's not an honest person, and she and Gong Hui Jin are still a little dirty.

In addition, the questions in the palace examination are easier than others, and if others see that they are with him in private, they are afraid that they will be truthful.

Most importantly, she didn't want anyone to put her name with someone else.

After the flower note led the people over, Gong Hui Jin still leaned over her in a regular manner, "Princess Shuyi." ”

Even when he was bent over, he was still much taller than her. Maybe she was suffering from paranoia of being killed, and the tall figure enveloped her, making Yuan Jiusi a little uneasy.

Fortunately, she was no longer as afraid of him as before, and slowly got up and turned her back to him, her delicate little face as cold as ice. Yuan Jiusi said half-truthfully: "I didn't expect Gonghui Shangqing to know that I was a princess." Fang was just in the Chaoyun Palace, Shuyi really thanked the adults for taking care of them. ”

"Since the princess praises Weichen as a good person, the minister naturally can't live up to the princess's expectations. Raising an eyebrow, he said lightly.

It is unlikely that he will be terrified with his own strength, but Yuan Jiusi never expected him to be so fearless.

Rao didn't look at him, and Yuan Jiusi could imagine what kind of snow-melting gentleness his face was, the kind of illusion deliberately created to confuse and deceive people.

Jiusi couldn't help but be annoyed by his ignorance of Taishan Yuan, and after a cold snort, she turned her head and sneered, "Those words, Shuyi advised the adults not to take them seriously, what this princess said in the palace is against her will." ”

"Oh?"

The narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and Gong Huijin smiled indifferently, "It's okay." Princess Shuyi is quick-witted and has a lotus tongue, and she can come with anything against her heart or not. Kechen's words are really heartfelt, the princess's qualifications are not stupid and dull, I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess can use her mind as the right path, and don't be greedy for pleasure. ”

Saying that, Gong Hui Jin's words changed, "After all, next time, the princess may not have the good luck to meet a good person like Weichen." The smile was bewildering, like clusters of prosperity in full bloom, Yuan Jiusi suddenly felt that the coldness of the ice, snow and frost outside the Chaoyun Hall was gradually fading.
