Siqin didn't understand, thought for a while and said: "The princess said that I am more and more confused, if I can really marry Zhuang Yuanlang, everyone will envy me, why delay it?" ”

The smile on the corner of Gu Changsheng's mouth became thicker, and he said, "Let's see if she marries or not." ”

Siqin looked at Gu Changsheng suspiciously for a while, and then said again: "The princess seems to be watching the excitement, although the third master Qing is the righteous son recognized by the master, but he was the most intimate with you and the prince in the past, if you don't worry about him, why are you still watching the show?" ”

"We worry about her, does she remember us? We are her family, what has she treated us for? Gu Changsheng was angry when he talked about this, and then said: "I am already extremely restrained just to watch the excitement, if I want to annoy her, I will definitely give her this red rope." ”

"Holding a girl from a good family, who is talented and beautiful, and can add some power, it is not annoying, Qing Sanye has to thank you." Siqin smiled and said, "Now that they're all back, why are you still blocking this breath?" If you want me to say, the princess will take the excuse of kissing, and go with the prince to associate with him. ”

Gu Changsheng looked at Siqin and wanted to speak, but he opened his mouth and stopped, and said a little boringly: "That's it, I won't do this shameful thing." Left and right, if I don't go, there are others who want to take him as a son-in-law, but she pushes him. If she still remembers the prince and me, and takes the initiative to come to the door to ask for sin, maybe I can forgive her. ”

Siqin was still confused when she heard it, but seeing that Gu Changsheng no longer wanted to speak, she stopped arguing. The rest of the words "the season is about to enter the summer, what kind of clothes to prepare for the three little masters in the family", "how to make the popular head jewelry and clothing patterns in the capital this year", but they are all the ones that women love to care about.

In the evening, the champion Lang Qingtong, who was not in a hurry for a lifelong event, had finished swimming the street, and went to Qionglin Garden in the west of the city with three hundred jinshi and his party. Before entering Qionglin Garden for the banquet, everyone first entered the Jinming Pond located in the north of Qionglin Garden and played for a while. Entering the hall in the center of the lake along the bridge, eating tea and watching the scenery, or boating on the water around the temple, are all popular with literati and scholars.

Qing Tong lived in the middle of the crowd, followed by Bangyan, Tanhua, and other Jinshi. The interest is strong, and they are full of poetry and greetings to each other. It looks sour, but the export must be praised. True elegance and false elegance, each of them understands it in their hearts, and they will not debunk it.

But it is said that the one who won the list this time is the son of the Zhao family in the capital, named Zhao Yan, who was born tall and handsome, and has a good demeanor. He had been a classmate with Qingtong for a while, and he was an old acquaintance, so the two talked more.

Zhao Yan asked her why she left the capital without saying goodbye, and Qingtong explained a few words, but they were all perfunctory words. And Qingtong asked him why he participated in the Spring Festival at this time. Zhao Yan smiled, only saying that he was not good at learning, and he studied hard for a few more years. As for whether he is good at learning, Qingtong really can't think of it.

At the beginning of the supervision, Qingtong made good friends with Gu Changsheng, Xu Yan and Xu Jing. At that time, Xu Jing, who was still the third prince, still bullied her and treated her as a little follower. She was the least of the invigilators, so she didn't make any other friends. However, those female students saw that she was thin and weak, and often talked to her, gossiped about various things with her, and never had the heart to defend herself.

Besides, this year's Tanhualang is a young man, and he is also the son of a nobleman in the capital, named Yan Qing. This Yan Qingsheng has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, red lips and white teeth, and even many women's looks are less than three points, Tanhualang is well-deserved. It's just that because of his young age, he is young and well-behaved, and his eyes are dripping around, but he doesn't talk much. I don't know if the rules are pretended, or if they are the same.

After everyone played, they entered Qionglin Garden according to the rules and etiquette. On this day, the decoration of Qionglin Garden is very festive, the lanterns and satin are displayed, the emperor and the officials are all in high rank, all of them are in official uniforms, standing upright to welcome the scholars into the garden.

Jin Shicheng was included in Qionglin Garden, especially the champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua in front, and everyone paid attention. It was the emperor who stood up and looked at him.

Qing Tong walked in the eyes of the crowd very calmly on his face, not slowly. It's a lie to say that I'm not nervous, and my palms are sweating. She really isn't a person who has seen anything in the world, and such a big battle is naturally a little cramped. Besides, the emperor who was on the throne had an inextricable connection with her. That vision falls on him, which is different from others.

Qingtong saluted the emperor with other jinshi according to the etiquette system, knelt in the hall, bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows.

Xu Jing didn't call him flat, sat on the dragon chair for a long time, and then walked out from the back of the seat, and stepped down the steps slowly.

Qingtong tried her best to keep her face calm, and she couldn't mess up the etiquette system. is an old acquaintance, and now this person is only the emperor. If you don't respect it, you have to respect it, and the right should be a stepping stone to a prosperous and prosperous future.

Once Qingtong had an appointment with Gu Changsheng, Xu Jing, and Xu Yan, no matter when, she couldn't expose her daughter's body. She wants to live as a man, self-sufficient. When she came back this time, Xu Jing didn't reveal her secret, and let her win the champion, so she must still respect the previous agreement.

waited until Xu Jing walked in front of her after finishing the steps, and Qing Tong was still thinking about these in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more calm she became. It wasn't until the corner of the yellow robe jumped into sight that Qing Tong's heart trembled a few times irregularly. She bowed her brow and took a light breath, straining her body and her original will.

The yellow robe in his sight did not move, and he could only hear his majestic and powerful voice, which was more calm and domineering than back then: "Champion green pupils, raise your head flat." ”

Qingtong was a little stunned, but she still reacted instantly, answered "yes", and got up and looked up. His gaze moved upward, and when he met Xu Jing's 10,000-year-old cold eyes, his heart continued to tremble slightly, and then fell, stopping on his chin.

Some people, just by looking at it, the memory that was once covered with dust will shake off the dust, and it will not appear, so that you want to blur it for a second. He came into your life, once melted in the blood, it was a mark that could not be diluted for a lifetime.

Qingtong knew that Xu Jing's gaze was on her face, without the slightest temperature, and it was so cold that it almost gave birth to a touch. Naturally, she stopped looking into his eyes and only did what she was told. On this face, it is not necessary to do business cuò.

"Let's all be flat." Xu Jing didn't say anything in the end, not even a word of admonition to Jinshi, so he threw his sleeves back on the dragon chair. The rest were arranged by the officials to sit at the table, with wine and meat, singing and dancing.

Qing Tong sat on the lower right hand seat under the steps of the dragon chair, drank a few sips of wine, dispelled the dullness in his heart, and said a word to Zhao Yan on the side from time to time, and the evaluation was all singing and dancing banquets and the like.

Sitting across the atrium opposite Qingtong was King Yi Xu Yan. He is still the same as he was back then, unrivaled handsome, and his untainted temperament doesn't seem to be from the court. and Gu Changsheng, that is also a natural pair.

Even when he and Qingtong's eyes met, Xu Yan gestured with a cup, and the two of them each drank a cup. After putting down his glass, he got up and left the table, and did not say much.

Qing Tong also put down the cup in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and left the hall in the name of convenience. In the moonlight, he found the moon-white figure in the corridor, and approached and said, "Lord Wang." ”

Xu Yan turned around, glanced at her, and said, "The princess misses you very much, when will you have time to go to the mansion for a walk." And your godfather, you should meet each other. ”

Mentioning this topic, Qingtong consciously took a loss, pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "I didn't say goodbye back then, and I didn't go to the mansions when I came back now, it's all mine." When Ming'er is free, he will come to the door one by one to ask for his guilt. ”

Xu Yan nodded and said, "The child is also four years old?" ”

"Right...... It's a few months before the birthday......" Qing Tong replied in a somewhat weak voice: "It's almost four years old, if you talk about virtual age, it's almost five years old." ”

Xu Yan stood up straight and looked at her: "Have you thought about how to go in the future?" ”

"Hmm." Qingtong nodded calmly in his voice, it had been planned in his heart for a long time, and he didn't need to bother to express it.

Xu Yan nodded slightly, and without any other words, he entered the horizontal corridor sideways, and went back the way he was going.

Qing Tong stood in place, looked up at the full moon in the sky, his face was calm, and after a moment, he also raised his steps and turned back to the main hall.

Singing and dancing, raising a glass and drinking, until the banquet is dispersed, there is nothing else, every qiē has its proper appearance. Whether it is the emperor or the prince or the high-ranking officials, each does what he does and says what he says.

When I returned home from the feast, it was already the middle of the night. The moon was half hidden in the clouds, and the moonlight was uneven. woke up He Sheng and He's mother, and He's mother went to mix hot water in Qingtong's room and freshen her up.

After mixing the hot water, Mother He said: "Master, you don't want me to serve you, you should also find two maids, everything is more convenient." When you're busy, you don't necessarily have to take care of yourself. ”

Qingtong's eyes narrowed tiredly, and said, "I don't need to, I'm not used to being served." It's Brother Jing'er's side, it's good to find a few. You help watch, and if you think it's suitable, you stay, and you don't need to be clever and smart, just be honest. often plays with Sister Qing, and Sister Qing is also fun. ”

"Well, then I'll take a look around." Mother He responded happily. She asked Qingtong to buy some people, and she also felt that her master and young master should be taken care of. Second, there was no money to save before, but now it is not as good as before, and it is always a good thing to find some people at home to save face.

Of course, Qingtong didn't care about these trivial matters, so she left them to Mother He and He Sheng to Zhang Luo. She has a lot of things to do, and before she takes office, she should always go through all the people who should leave. If you are left out in the cold, you deserve to be helpless in this capital.

was already tired from everything, and after eating wine, Qingtong thought that he could sleep by putting his head down. As a result, after lying down, the cold eyes that Xu Jing touched her today appeared in his mind for no reason, and he repeated it over and over again. Although I can't think about it, I can't get rid of that cold face. It wasn't until the rooster crowed that she couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep.

But he was about to fall asleep, and in a daze, he seemed to hear the sound of the panes. After opening his eyes with great effort, he saw that there was a person standing in front of the bed. The moonlight was cool and white, and the man's eyes were as cold as mountain spring water in the dark night.

The drowsiness immediately dissipated, Qingtong hurriedly lifted the quilt and got up, lowered his voice and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty ......"
