Xiao Yuheng trusts Lin Xi, but he still has some doubts in his heart. Lewen Mobile Network

Although Zhao Jingyi is his brother-in-law, he has never been very close to him, he is a civil official, and this person is notoriously not socialized with literati, silent, indifferent and unsmiling, and the momentum is quite scary when he meets him, even if his eldest sister is still alive, Zhao Jingyi can't say a word to him.

However, now that it is replaced by Lin Xi, even if there is a Rong'er in the middle, the two of them can feel the harmony and gentleness as long as they look at it from a distance, I thought it was nothing, but today when these colleagues talked nonsense, he couldn't help but think of Lin Xi and Miss Bai Er's marriage that ended without a problem.

Those two want to come now...... It was not that Lin Xi deliberately approached, but that Zhao Jingyi's posture was low enough, subconsciously cooperating with Lin Xi's pace, and even more so it was not an exaggeration to say a word of flattery.

Xiao Yuheng originally wanted to go to Lin Mansion to find Lin Xi and ask him, so he dispelled his uneasiness. However, as he himself said, at the critical moment, if Lin Xi's mind is disturbed because of this, and he is cranky and wants to fail in the palace test tomorrow, it will be a big sin.

Xiao Yuheng, who was worried, did not transfer to the Lin Mansion in the end, but sent someone to send a post to a friend.

He set a table in the private room of Fenglaiju, and it was close to noon when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

Xiao Yuheng stood up, "Shen Yi, what do you say?"

The person who came is called Li Shenyi, who is now the director of the Ministry of Rites, and is Xiao Yuheng's classmate and friend.

Just because this is also from Xungui like Xiao Yuheng, although it is just a general's mansion, but his grandmother is the eldest princess of Qinyang, who is a generation older than Emperor Xia Jing, and now this eldest princess is still alive, and the emperor treats her very favorably.

This is full of capital, and these two anointed children are officials who rely on their own skills, and they are relatively close, and they are very close to each other. He was also an important member of the pinch led by Xiao Yuheng and Wei Qian and other gentlemen who did not learn at all.

It is because today is not the day of rest, and these two people can sneak out to meet friends without care.

Li Shenyi sat down, "Don't worry, this matter has just spread, it's really hard to say." ”

Seeing that Xiao Yuheng consciously poured him a cup of tea, he said: "This kind of affair is really not a big deal in the capital, just talk about it for a while." It's just that the trouble is during the spring season, the exam has just ended, and the candidates who have fallen have not left yet, and they are all waiting for the palace exam to come out. Your little cousin has already two yuan, I heard that the emperor has already let out his words, three yuan and the first iron plate nailed, think about the previous Spring Festival, who dares to boast about Haikou in advance? How many pairs of eyes are staring closely, and those candidates who boast of their talents are also holding their breath, your little cousin is worthy of his name, if it is famous, it is difficult to live up to it...... Think about the sit-in at the palace gate, the end is not good-looking. ”

Xiao Yuheng suddenly sneered and said: "Lin Xi's talent is recognized by the emperor, but it is not because of Mr. Bai's reputation, he can stand the test, otherwise how could the emperor let the Nine Emperor Princes get close to Lin Xi?"

Li Shen said: "I believe in you, but outsiders may not." He lowered his voice and said, "It's just that the emperor has ever spoken in front of the public? Is there a prelude to Xuan Lin Xi's prelude? It's just from the mouth of the Nine Emperors, who are the Nine Emperors, who didn't know a few big characters before the age of ten, and the forgotten prince is still young now, what can he understand to be able to be talented? It's good that the emperor agrees, but it will be even more troublesome if he doesn't recognize it." ”

Xiao Yuheng's face suddenly turned dark.

Li Shenyi continued: "If it's just these, it's okay, even if the Nine Emperors are in holy grace, they can't interfere in the affairs of Chunqiu, but it is precisely the ambiguity with Prince Rui, ouch, if it's just rumors, I really admire this ability to spread rumors, it's not good to choose, Prince Rui, tsk...... Don't really say it, ordinary people can't think of it, and they don't dare to think about it, that is the real prince of real power, and it is not the same as the previous King of Liang, he has to consider it even if he speaks. ”

Xiao Yuheng's face turned from black to gloomy, "We are in-laws." ”

"Come on, relatives who turned a few corners. You and I have known each other for several years, has this prince treated you differently before, or helped you in anything?"

"I don't need his help. ”

Li Shenyi looked at him while drinking tea, Xiao Yuheng frowned and opened the folding fan, looking irritable.

"Okay, let's not talk about how beautiful this version is, I'll copy some for you to see for yourself. Let me tell you what the situation is now. In short, how much Shilin praised Lin Xi before, and how disdainful he is now, I am afraid that it has vaguely reached the ears of Mr. Bai. Today, there are also officials in the Ministry of Rites who say that the lifters are waiting for the palace examination, if the emperor has a ruling, it will be enough, and if it is a high school, they will sue the emperor. You also know that the most despised scholar is this, his mind is impulsive, his blood is boiling, he has done everything with a stalk in his neck, what do you say? Those old scholars of your Hanlin Academy probably disdain to be officials with such a person with a bad reputation and moral character, right?"

Xiao Yuheng flipped through the two pages, and then slapped the table angrily, "It's just presumptuous!"

These gossips will always spread some rumors, and Baifu is naturally no exception.

The housekeeper of Baifu sent a bunch of idle people who came to deliver the name post, and guided Bai Rubai into the courtyard in embarrassment.

Mr. Bai was sitting in front of the snow house at the moment, supporting his head with his hands, and when he saw someone coming, he raised his eyelids.

"What about Lin Xiren?" Bai Rubai asked directly.

"Let him brush up on his homework. Mr. Bai replied lightly, "You are also here for those rumors?"

Bai Rubai asked, "But really?"

"I don't know. ”

"You didn't ask?" Bai Rubai was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "Do you know that the rumor is quite unbearable." ”

"I have been in this house all day long, and no one chews my tongue, how do I know what has become of it?"

Bai Rubai said: "Brother, if it's true, Lin Xi will be in trouble, not to mention the shortcomings, there is no place to stand in this place in Beijing." ”

Mr. Bai's eyes were cold, and he seemed to sneer, "My apprentice I know, he is very simple, and he is very soft-hearted, and he doesn't know if he is deceived, why is there nothing to do with this Zhao Jingyi except for saying that he is like and that?"

Bai Rubai immediately knew that this brother was angry, and he was very tight, he quickly sat down, sighed and said: "This is the way of the world, brother should think about how to calm down this matter, I will try my best to suppress the doubts in the court, so that the palace test will pass smoothly, fortunately, the emperor has not ordered it so far." ”

Old Mr. Bai softened his tone when he heard this, "Then let's look at it, it's hard work." ”

Bai Rubai hurriedly said a few words and left.

And Mr. Bai got up and walked towards the courtyard where Lin Xi was, pushed the door and entered the study, and saw Lin Xi practicing calligraphy with his wrist hanging on his wrist. Glancing down, he saw that the handwriting was smooth and powerful, the undulating ink strength was appropriate, and his mind was not disturbed, so he nodded slightly.

"Go to bed early, and get down to business tomorrow. Mr. Bai instructed.

Lin Xi put down the pen and arched his hand slightly, "The student understands." ”

Mr. Bai nodded, and was about to turn around and leave, but heard Lin Xi ask, "Does the teacher have any doubts about asking the students?"

"After your palace test, I'll talk to the teacher in detail. ”

Lin Xi bowed and sent him off.

Lin Xi imagined this scene for many years, but it finally appeared.

Mother Zhou came in with a bowl of medicine and said softly, "Young Master, you can drink it." ”

Lin Xi knew that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, but he couldn't be impetuous and cranky. Zhou's mother boiled up the soothing soup all night, and Lin Xi asked her to add some sleeping herbs and drank it.

On the second day, the temple test

Emperor Xia Jing looked up helplessly at Zhao Jingyi who was standing aside, when did this nephew who only knew how to dance knives and guns become so interested?

However, when he thought of Lin Xi, Emperor Xia Jing had heard about those rumors, so he had a headache.

The father-in-law looked at Prince Rui, who was not moving, and then glanced at Emperor Xia Jing, who was holding his forehead, and asked quietly: "Your Majesty, is it a rumor?"

"Pass it on. ”

After a long chant, the new tributes entered the main hall in turn.

These more than 100 tributes are wearing uniform white tribute uniforms, with hostas erected, and they vary in age, but Lin Xi is the youngest, and he walks in the front, with a tall posture, a handsome appearance, with a calm smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes do not squint, and he is extremely stable step by step.

Emperor Xia Jing nodded secretly, and then looked at Zhao Jingyi sideways, but found that since this kid showed his heart to him, his eyes were no longer hidden, and his eyes followed Lin Xi's figure, forbearance and fiery, even he, an old man, couldn't help but feel ashamed of him.

A cold snort came from nowhere, resounding very clearly in the quiet hall.

Lin Xi's eyes were not raised, his eyes were lowered, and a sharp and cold gaze shot over him, and Zhao Jingyi's glance containing a thick warning made the cold-snorting official freeze in place for a moment, and his back instantly felt cold.

Emperor Xia Jing twitched the corner of his mouth and remained silent.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live. ”

The tributes knelt down to pay respects.

Emperor Xia Jing glanced at Lin Xi on the ground with great pity, and raised his hand, "Flat." ”

Lin Xi treated any exam seriously and reverently, which made him forget all the people in the hall, and he didn't care about Zhao Jingyi's gaze on him, and he ignored the obvious hostility and disdain around him.

The world is big, and all the worries are not as important as his exam, which is the respect of the top students for the exam.

And this attitude of having no distractions and ignoring the surroundings gradually made people confused, Lin Xi was just a young man in his early twenties, and no matter how good his mentality was, he shouldn't be so calm.

Looking at Prince Rui's undisguised behavior of protecting his shortcomings, the emperor's helplessness and pity at glance after glance seem to have another explanation.

Except for this group of new jinshi who have not yet entered the ranks, those who can stand on top of this hall are not simple people, and they have been immersed in officialdom and figured out how the emperor could not see the strangeness in this for many years.

The rumors are clear to the emperor, and the prince is also clear.

But the emperor is unfathomable, and he has not expressed his position so far, and his expression behind the crown bead does not seem to be hidden anger.

The prince didn't need to say anything, his eyes said everything, his eyes fell on Lin Xi from beginning to end, and the rest of the Jinshi didn't even look at it, and the love was fully revealed.

It is only the Nine Emperor Princes who stand in His Majesty Dan who have always been hostile to Prince Rui, and thinking of the Nine Emperor Princes' closeness to Lin Xi, there seems to be another level of explanation.

But King Liang looked like he was watching a good show.

At the end of the written examination, the papers were reviewed by the ministers of the Bunko and selected the best ten copies and presented them to the Holy Lord. Putting aside the unclear rumors that seem to have hidden secrets, Lin Xi's volume deserves to be among the ten.

Everyone waited for Emperor Xia Jing's reaction, but the emperor was not angry, and even opened Lin Xi's volume directly from the ten volumes and read it carefully, his eyes did not hide his admiration, and he joked with interest: "Qing's strategy is not as wonderful as what he said in Master Bai's mansion that day, but this is the last ...... It's interesting, but it's bold. ”

The tone is extremely kind and familiar.

Lin Xi respectfully bent down and bowed, and replied in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, time is limited, even if the students have a thousand gullies in their hearts, they can't enjoy themselves, and in the end, the students are also worried, but the students' feelings have been discussed with the teacher many times, if the emperor is interested, he will wait for the students to go back and sort out the details and then present them to the emperor." ”

"Haha, there's no hurry, there will be time in the future. Emperor Xia Jing seemed to be a pun, and then he glanced at his nephew, and asked unwillingly, "Guanqing is still young, can he have a marriage?"

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Xia Jing clearly saw that Zhao Jingyi's eyebrows were suddenly wrinkled, his cheeks were tense, his eyes looked at him coldly, and then he stared at Lin Xi tightly.

Lin Xi was stunned, he didn't understand that his relationship with Zhao Jingyi was almost known to everyone, and Emperor Xia Jing still wanted to ask, but as soon as he thought that maybe this was a temptation, he forcibly pressed down and looked at Zhao Jingyi's gaze, and said calmly: "Not yet." ”

"How about I keep you a matchmaker?"

Lin Xi is a thousand and ten thousand unwilling. Learning to become a literary and martial artist and selling it to the emperor's family is not enough, is it necessary to intervene in a lifelong event? Under this public, how can Lin Xi refuse, but he really doesn't want to.

He knelt down slowly, but suddenly heard a person stand up, and the familiar low cold voice sounded, "Your Majesty, the nephew has a reluctant request." ”

The corners of Xia Jingdi's mouth twitched suddenly, and he glared at him with hatred.

Helplessly, his Prince Rui didn't open his mind, once his mind was clear, he completely ignored the surrounding scene, and in front of these many ministers and tributes, it seemed that he was going to show his heart in court.

What does this make for the royal family?

Why didn't he know that this kid was really a lover?

It's nonsense!

Emperor Xia Jing didn't care who brought up this topic, and didn't wait for Zhao Jingyi to say anything, so he waved his hand, "It's just a joke, Qing doesn't have to take it seriously, if Prince Rui has state affairs, we will discuss it later, Luo Jueke?"

Luo Dacaizi, who was standing behind Lin Xi, walked out, "The student is here." ”

Lin Xi got up and stepped back silently......

As the palace test came to an end, everyone's hearts swelled in the dark, and the ginseng fold placed in the sleeve was pinched and pinched, but there was no move on their faces.

The tributes were also a little impetuous, and they all had questions, why was the emperor not angry when it was so obvious?

Just looking at this direction, no one dared to ask, and those folds were not handed over until the end of the palace examination. 166 Reading Network
