Because there were many Ying Lanfeng's colleagues and Qing guests gathered in the study, it was inconvenient for Huaizhen to show up, so he had to turn around and go back to the room.

So at night, Ying Lanfeng returned home, went back to the room to change into a regular dress, and came out to see Huaizhen, but saw that she was sitting behind the piano, holding the piano book and reading, slightly out of her mind.

Ying Lanfeng smiled, stepped forward and said, "At night, don't boil these eyes, when will you not be able to see it?" As she spoke, she took the piano score from her hand, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "I haven't read it carefully before, this is what the princess gave you?"

Huaizhen nodded, thinking to himself about Ling Jue.

Ying Lanfeng turned over the piano score slightly, and suddenly saw that the page that Huaizhen had read was the tune of "Mountains and Flowing Water", and there was a line of elegant and upright handwriting next to it, like a dragon and a snake, and it was written: Yang Yi did not meet, Fu Lingyun and regretted himself;

Ying Lanfeng read it twice and said with a smile: "Isn't this Tang Shilang's handwriting?"

Huai Zhen coughed slightly, lowered his head and said, "I don't know whose handwriting it was, I thought it was written by Sister Minli......"

Ying Lanfeng didn't care, but smiled again: "Tang Shilang, this person, is really wonderful, it can be described as gold and jade, jade and gold...... It is rare in the world. ”

Huaizhen couldn't help tilting his head and laughing: "Why didn't Dad say that he was still icy and icy." After saying that, he coughed again, frowned secretly, and thought to himself that what he said was too abrupt reads();.

Ying Lanfeng laughed, nodded yes again and again, and suddenly thought of something, so he sighed: "Although it is very good, it is a pity that such a character is still a lonely person now." …… Because I was away for the first two years, I didn't understand, and I couldn't imagine how his relationship with the Lin Yushi family was ...... It's also very strange to say, and there are so many rumors that there are really people who are all talking about gold and ruining bones. He shook his head.

When Huai Zhen heard this, he also smiled, thinking of the incident between Lin * and Ling Jingshen, and thinking of the situation that day, in the smoke and rain at dusk, Xiao Tang was alone in the tavern and injured himself.

Huai Zhen calmed down for a while, then only bowed his head and said, "It's just everyone's marriage." ”

Ying Lanfeng didn't say this anymore, but only asked, "Why did I hear the maid just now, you went to the study to find me today?"

Huai Zhen saw him mention it, so he took the opportunity to say: "I heard that my father is back, I wanted to see it, but I saw many people there, but it was inconvenient to disturb, Dad, why am I listening...... What are you talking about Xiao Ling Gongzi?"

Ying Lanfeng listened, laughed again, and said: "Do you mean Ling Jue? This juvenile committee is really excellent, I like it very much, Ming'er will definitely recommend it, but even if he doesn't recommend it, I'm afraid that he can also stabilize high school, like such a good talent and beautiful quality, if he arrives in front of the palace, the emperor will naturally sigh at the young man's indulgence." ”

When Huai Zhen heard this, he only rolled his eyes secretly, and hurriedly said, "Dad...... If that's the case, then why do you want to recommend anything? How he loves it, it's just his creation, don't meddle with it. ”

Ying Lanfeng saw her say this, but said with a smile: "What is this, he has now sent me a poem, and I have also replied to him with a poem, and now everyone in Manjing probably knows...... What's more, even if he doesn't submit poems, I love him very much, so how can I not do something for him. ”

Huaizhen was in a hurry, pulled his sleeves, and was about to say more, but he couldn't say anything directly. Ying Lanfeng lowered her head, looked at her with some anxious look on her face, and said curiously: "What's the matter? Why don't you ask your father to recommend him?"

Huai Zhen thought for a while, and only muttered: "I don't like this person very much......"

Ying Lanfeng laughed and said, "Stupid words." He raised his hand and touched Huai Zhen's head twice, looked at her for a while, and didn't say anything after all.

It turned out that Ying Lanfeng knew about the robbery of Huaizhen, and listened to the details, knowing that Ling Jue had encountered this robbery, but he still tried his best to protect Huaizhen, and later got bruises all over his body, and almost broke his leg, but although he experienced this incident, he was tight-lipped and never revealed half a point to anyone, which shows that although he is young, his virtue is extremely reliable, so Ying Lanfeng secretly misses.

In addition, Ling Jue has the appearance of ice and snow on the outside, and the inside is cultivated by the Ming Xing, and every time he deals with it, he is a young man with a good bearing, and his speech and demeanor are all good, and he is honest and embroidered, which is overwhelming.

And because of his young conceit, he inevitably showed a little arrogance when dealing with other princes and courtiers, but I don't know how, every time he faced Ying Lanfeng, he always spoke gratifyingly, and his attitude was not respectful, which was different from the situation for others, so Ying Lanfeng loved him more and more in his heart.

After that, Ying Lanfeng and several ministers really recommended Emperor Cheng to be over, and did not mention it.

In this way, in March, Zhang Xingbang of the Ministry of Rites announced the list of tributes to be recruited in the examination, but he saw that Ling Jue, Chunhui, and Ying Pei were all on the list, and Zhang Zhen was not there, but he naturally didn't care. The other families rejoiced and celebrated, and then the temple tested.

On this day, the tributes selected in the examination are all in the palace to face the saint, in front of the Xuanhe Palace, by Emperor Cheng personally through the selection, arrange the ranking. Because the officials have already unanimously recommended Ling, Emperor Cheng paid special attention, and sure enough, he saw that he was full of splendor, whether it was pasting scriptures, ink meaning, poetry and endowment are excellent, and the scriptures, theories, and strategies are also the bottom of the pen flowers, the words are pearls and jades, and the intention is excellent, not out of the box, it can be seen that he is a full stomach of economy, a person with quick thinking reads();.

Emperor Cheng saw this, and his heart was also very satisfied, waiting to summon Ling Jue to the palace, suddenly saw that it was such a beautiful jade talent, Emperor Cheng liked it more and more, and boasted that he was fortunate to read the volume first, and had already heard many courtiers praise Ling Jue's outstanding learning, otherwise, if you first see that this person's appearance is so outstanding, then those splendid literary thoughts will be overshadowed, and where is his turn to be the champion, just look at this kind of character, and only point to Tanhua.

After such a palace test, the list was announced, Ling Jue was actually the first Jinshi and the first, and the six grades of the Hanlin Academy were put to repair, and the other Chunhui should be admired, and they were all among the top three.

When the public palace heard the news, they had already put up the lanterns, sent people to reward the people who came to report the good news, and the little maids took the two back, and after a long time, they changed their official clothes in the evening, entered the palace to thank them, and went to the Qionglin banquet.

Let's say that this night, in the Qionglin Garden in the palace, Emperor Cheng personally set up a banquet to entertain all the new talents.

Xiao Tang, Ying Lanfeng, Guo Jianyi and other ministers were also at ease in the banquet, exploring the flowers and folding the flowers back, and the courtiers picked up the flowers, and the audience was full of laughter.

After three rounds of wine, Emperor Cheng took a look, first looked at Xiao Tang Guo Jianyi and all Aiqing, and then looked at Ling Jue Chunhui and all the young men for a while, and saw the old and new courtiers, Linlang on the side, like a pearl and beautiful jade, shining, and couldn't help but be happy.

Emperor Cheng laughed and said: "I have gained many young talents today, which shows that God has blessed my dynasty and allowed me to live for a few more years." ”

All the courtiers got up and said: "The emperor has a long life, and I will be forever solid!"

Emperor Cheng smiled and nodded, looked at everyone again, and suddenly sighed: "Having said that, I only feel that I have been mentally exhausted recently...... But I don't know, if I am a thousand years later, how will the world evaluate me?"

When all the courtiers heard this, they were all terrified, and they were silent for a while.

Emperor Cheng was a little drunk because of the joy in his heart, his eyes swept around, and suddenly looked at Ying Lanfeng and said: "Ying Aiqing, in your opinion, what kind of nickname should I set up after a thousand years?"

The hall was quiet, and Ying Lanfeng heard this, his heart was shocked, he only felt ominous, and he felt frightened, and he didn't understand why Emperor Cheng asked himself like this, just this sentence...... How do you answer? For a while, I couldn't help but be in a dilemma, saying no, not saying no.

In an instant, a person suddenly stepped forward and said: "Enlighten my emperor, the emperor has a long life, and he will inevitably shine with the sun and the moon.

At this moment, everyone held their breath and couldn't make a sound, and this clear voice was even clearer.

But seeing Emperor Cheng's eyes turning, falling on the body of one of the people, but seeing a apricot blossom on his sideburns, his skin was like snow, and his eyebrows were clear and picturesque, Emperor Cheng stared for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Okay! Good answer! It is worthy of the champion Lang who I appointed, come and give wine!"

It turned out that this column was the one who broke the siege for Ying Lanfeng, and it was actually Ling Jue, the champion of the new department, Ying Lanfeng secretly pinched a handful of sweat, couldn't help waving his hand and wiped his forehead, and looked at Ling Jue again, but saw that Ling Jue was also looking at him, his eyes were facing each other, so he smiled slightly and nodded towards Ying Lanfeng. Ying Lanfeng knew that Ling Jue had deliberately come forward to relieve himself, and seeing him so changeable, he was very grateful in his heart, and he even received his affection.

Emperor Cheng gave wine, Ling never dared not drink it, but he rarely drank alcohol, and after drinking a glass, his face was thin red, and he looked like he was drunk.

Emperor Cheng was very interested, and when he looked at Ling Jue's state, he smiled again: "Zhuangyuanlang's youth is still good, but can he not be determined?"

When Ling Jue heard this, he got up and replied: "Back to the emperor, Weichen has never had a family reads();." ”

Emperor Cheng laughed a few times, and loved him very much, so he took advantage of the excitement and said: "I still have two princesses who have not promised to be married, and they have recruited you as a concubine, okay?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Ling Jue, some were envious, and some were secretly surprised, Guo Jianyi was present, so he raised his eyes and looked, only to see Ling Jue slightly stunned, and then said: "Please forgive the emperor, Weichen can't climb the princess." ”

When everyone heard this, they were shocked, Emperor Cheng was willing to speak, what kind of grace this is, although it was not ordered to marry him, but who dared to directly refute the emperor's face?

Emperor Cheng was also a little surprised, but because he was happy, he was not angry, and actually smiled: "Oh?

Ling Jue arched his hand upwards and said, "Weichen doesn't dare to hide it, just because Weichen already has a good match in his heart." Don't dare to fail her. ”

Emperor Cheng became more and more shocked, and the ministers also looked at each other, Xiao Tang was smiling and looking at Ling Jue, and he only felt that this young man was very "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", which was somewhat interesting.

In the middle of the full house, Du Guo Jianyi frowned, without a trace of joy on his face.

Emperor Cheng thought for a moment, then smiled: "Sure enough, it's a young man's spirit...... But tell me who is your good mate, and whose maiden has come into your eyes...... Speak up, and I will marry you!"

When Ling Jue was half drunk, he raised his head suddenly when he heard the words, his eyes were like stars, he thought for a moment in his heart, and was about to answer, when he suddenly heard Guo Jianyi coughing, got up and said: "Zhuangyuanlang is afraid that he is not strong enough to drink, the emperor ...... Or do you want him to rest for a while?"

At this moment, Xiao Tang was sitting firmly in the banquet, holding his arms to watch the excitement, and he also wanted to hear who the "good match" in Ling Jue's mouth was, but Guo Jianyi suddenly stood up and interjected abruptly, Xiao Tang naturally knew that he would never be so blind for no reason...... When he smiled and thought about it slightly, his heart was suddenly shocked!

saw Ling Jue turning his head to look at Guo Jianyi, looking at each other, and there was no smile on both of their faces.

Emperor Cheng was also a little surprised when he was watching, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard another person laugh and said, "Sure enough, what Guo Shilang said is very right...... I also saw that Zhuang Yuanlang was a little drunk, the emperor, how about punishing him to make a poem? The minister knows that Zhuang Yuanlang has always been a first-class poet, such a beautiful day, there is no poetry to help the fun, wouldn't it be a pity?"

It turned out that the person who got up was Xiao Tang, with a smile on his eyebrows and eyes, hairpins on his sideburns, and elegant and graceful.

Guo Jianyi was looking at Ling Jue, and when he saw Xiao Tang get up to speak, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled and said, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Although the courtiers were curious about who Ling Jue was talking about, and they were also about to see the excitement, but when they saw that Xiao Tang and Guo Jianyi had spoken, they suddenly became excited, and there were also those who liked words, and they all knew that whenever Ling Jue had a good work, they got up one after another and begged the champion to write poems in the court.

Therefore, the topic turned away, and after a while, Emperor Cheng was a little old after all, and he ate wine, and soon retired from the table with the help of the palace people.

Seeing this, the ministers also slowly dispersed, Ying Lanfeng wanted to say a few more words to him because of Ling Jue's feelings of relieving the siege, but unexpectedly saw Ling Jue walking to Guo Jianyi's side, the two seemed to have something to discuss, so Ying Lanfeng only thought about it another day, so he left the palace first.

At this moment, the ministers who drank the banquet gradually retreated, and only the long ditch and the moon flowed, silent.

And in the shadow of the apricot blossoms, Ling Jue looked at Guo Jianyi and asked, "Brother Fangcai, why did you stop me?"

Guo Jianyi looked at the thin red on his face, because of the wine, the young man's eyes were a little blurred, but the eyes were still extremely bright.

In an instant, Guo Jianyi said: "Xiao Jue, you are drunk, I will send you back to the house, so as not to worry about your family." ”

Ling Jue pushed his hand away, and said insistently: "Brother, I only ask you, why did you stop me from saying it?"

Guo Jianyi was silent for a moment, and then said: "What kind of occasion is this, do you really want the emperor to give you a marriage?"

Ling Jue stared at him and said, "Why not?"

Guo Jianyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "After all, you are too young, you know, although the emperor is happy, but the proposal of Princess Shang is not just a mouthful, what a glory this is, you immediately pushed it, do you know what the emperor thinks in his heart? If you say that person's name again, how do you know if the emperor will be unhappy in his heart?"

When Ling Jue heard this, he laughed twice and said, "Brother, why do you have to talk about so much? You probably know who the person I want to talk about is, so that's why you stop me?"

A gust of wind came from nowhere, which made the apricot grove tremble, and some apricot blossoms fell.

The moonlight was shining, shining on the two people, and the palace people not far away frequently looked here, only to see Guo Shilang of the household department standing together with the two champions of the new department, and seemed to be saying something very affectionately, both of them are wonderful people like Zhilan jade trees, both are hairpins with flowers, standing opposite each other next to the apricot blossom tree, just like the people in the painting, the double walls are general, reflecting each other, which is intoxicating.

After the rumor passed, Guo Jianyi slowly spoke and asked, "So...... Who is that person you want to talk about?"

Ling Jue's alcohol strength had already attacked, and he confronted Guo Jianyi for a long time, and he couldn't help but be a little unable to hold on, so he smiled and said, "Brother, come to ask ...... knowingly again" As he spoke, he raised his hand to hold the apricot tree.

Guo Jianyi saw that he was unsteady on his feet, and his speech was a little slurred, so he sighed: "Let's talk about it another day." I'll send you out of the palace first. ”

Ling Jue just shook his head, still wanting to push him away, but he couldn't help but feel a little weak, this was the first time in his life that he was drunk, but on such an occasion.

However, there was something in his heart, and he didn't vomit or be unhappy, so Ling Jue let Guo Jianyi support him, and still said in his mouth: "You obviously know...... The person in my heart is Sister Huaizhen, that's why you stopped me, and I also know that you also have Sister Huaizhen in your heart...... You are not a frivolous person, so you must have done it sincerely when you proposed to the Ying Gongfu...... But my brother ...... I'm sorry, Sister Huaizhen, it's my ......."

Guo Jianyi listened to these words, although there was no expression on his face, in his heart, he was already stormy. After a while, he smiled bitterly and helped him to walk again.

Ling Jue grabbed his arm, paused, and muttered again, "Brother, don't spend it anymore...... You're that age...... What's more, Sister Huaizhen's heart ...... There is mine too. ”

Guo Jianyi's face was expressionless, but when he heard this, his color suddenly changed, and his eyes were like thunder and lightning, and he only looked at Ling Jue in a daze.

Ling Jue didn't realize it, he couldn't mutter, and he seemed to be laughing.

Guo Jianyi's chest rose and fell slightly, and he was so angry that he was about to throw him away, but looking at his drunken and hazy appearance, he couldn't bear it, so he raised his head and took a deep breath, and then half-supported and half-hugged him, and took him out.

It wasn't until the two figures disappeared at the gate of Qionglin Garden, after the apricot forest, that another person slowly came out, and the moonlight was Xiao Tang, who was "not only gold and jade, but also ice and snow".

The apricot forest is silent, and the palace lights are lonely. Xiao Tang stood with his hands in his hands, staring at the direction the two left, and for a long time, Fang Fang smiled faintly thoughtfully.
