Liu Tong stared at King Rui for a long time, and when he saw that King Rui was still unfazed, he couldn't help but say, "Is there something wrong......?"

King Rui smiled: "It's okay, tomorrow's palace test, we can also be leisurely, so let you take your younger brothers and sisters to the fifth brother's mansion to play today, and there will be nothing to do tomorrow." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Liu Tong responded, still thinking about the prince rushing out of the palace in anger, seeing that King Rui was the first to walk out of the hall, he was stunned and hurriedly followed, and hesitated for a while before asking: "Fifth brother, just now the prince rushed out of the hall, I looked at him...... Seems to be very angry. ”

"Oh, that's natural." King Rui nodded and said: "The sixth brother just told him that the drawings of the looms made by the folk craftsmen are in his hands, and the finished products are only a hundred or so far. He has already contacted the big cloth village in the south of the Yangtze River, and just selling looms is a large amount of income. The prince's way to make money was blocked by him, can he be happy? ”

Liu Tong frowned.

"King Cen sells it himself?"

King Rui raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yes, the prince wanted to ask the sixth brother for the drawings, but the Ministry of Industry made it, and it was the birthday gift offered by King Cen on his father's birthday, and he didn't dare to use this thing for the weaving department in front of his father." He didn't say it, and his father didn't ask, the sixth brother, looking at this time difference, there were so many things he could do. Even if the prince gets the drawings in the future, he must not be able to earn anything, after all, the big head has already been taken by King Cen. ”

Liu Tong silently praised King Cen in his heart, thinking about it, he felt wrong.

When King Cen left after speaking, the prince's face was indeed not good-looking, but it was not as bad as it was later.

It was clearly what the fifth brother and the prince said that made the prince completely lose his temper.

Liu Tong couldn't help but glance at King Rui.

King Rui noticed his gaze and asked him with a smile, "See what I do?" ”

"Fifth brother, ...... you" Liu Tong frowned: "What did you say to the prince?" ”

"Me and the Prince?" Rui Wang smiled: "I didn't say anything." ”

"How can the prince's face ......?" Liu Tong didn't believe in his heart.

Rui Wang still smiled, reached out and patted Liu Tong's back: "It's okay to tell you." ”

King Rui leaned close to Liu Tong's ear and whispered a few words.

Liu Tong's eyes widened suddenly.

After King Rui finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "You remember, you don't know about this matter, and you must not say it to anyone, even to your younger brothers and sisters, you should also control your mouth well." ”

"Fifth brother, when you tell the prince this, do you want to ...... "borrow a knife to kill someone?"

Rui Wang still smiled faintly.

"At least there is such a big thing for him, and he won't put too much effort into me in the near future. I also have a good breath to investigate the murder case in the brothel. ”

Liu Tong took a deep breath and nodded, "I know." ”

"Remember to come to my house next day, and I'll let your fifth sister-in-law tidy up a table when I go back." King Rui also let out a long sigh: "It's rare that I've been aggrieved for so many times recently, and I can finally take a break." ”

The brothers parted ways, and Liu Tong returned to the prince's mansion and explained that he was going out.

Chang Runzhi was surprised: "What day is it?" How did King Rui think of letting us go to King Rui's Mansion? ”

Liu Tong smiled: "It's not a big deal, I'll try it in the palace tomorrow, and I'll have to be free today and tomorrow, so I'll go to the Fifth Brother's Mansion to get together." ”

Chang Runzhi nodded, took a closer look, and noticed a slight abnormality in Liu Tong's eyes.

She asked, "Is there something on your mind?" ”

Liu Tong was stunned for a moment, and Chang Runzhi affirmed: "You have something in your heart." ”

Liu Tong smiled bitterly and touched his face: "Is it so obvious?" ”

"Hmm...... No one else should be able to see it, but I'm not someone else. Chang Runzhi smiled and asked him softly: "Something happened again in the morning?" ”

"Not really." Liu Tong shook his head, opened his mouth to say something, and remembered what King Rui said, so he closed his mouth again.

He sighed, gently took Chang Runzhi into his arms, and whispered to her: "There are some things, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that you know it's not good." What's more, the fifth brother also told me to keep my mouth shut about you, don't say anything in front of you......"

Chang Runzhi lowered his head slightly, and said helplessly for a while: "That's it, I won't force you to say it." It's just ......"

Chang Runzhi raised his head and looked at Liu Tong fixedly: "If you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell me." I can't help you share things, but I can help you share your worries. Tong, I don't want to see you sad. ”

Liu Tong hugged her hand for a moment, and only after a while did he respond to her inaudibly: "I know." ”

Paused: "Me too." ”

The couple had lunch, and Liu Tong took a nap with Chang Runzhi for a while, then got up and changed his clothes and went to King Rui's mansion.

Liu Tong thought that the guests in King Rui's Mansion today were only him and Chang Runzhi, but he didn't want to, in addition to them, there were two other young students.

Liu Tong sent Chang Runzhi into the inner courtyard, and let people lead him to King Rui's study.

King Rui sat behind the table, and in front of the table were two scholars dressed as scholars, looking young and young, similar to him.

Liu Tong glanced at them suspiciously, and then saluted King Rui.

"Xiao Jiu is here?" King Rui laughed and beckoned, "Sit down." ”

Liu Tongwu sat down, and King Rui said to the two of them: "You also sit, don't be restrained." ”

The two hesitated, glanced at each other, and stepped forward to salute Liu Tong.

"Student Xu Yuhuai-"

"Student Meng Zhao—"

"I've seen His Highness the Nine."

Liu Tong was stunned for a moment, only to feel that these two names were a little familiar, and only reacted after calling them.

"It's not—"

Aren't these the two "talented people" introduced to him by Yao Chengxi?

He had indeed mentioned such two people in the ears of the fifth brother before, but he didn't expect that the fifth brother would move so fast that he would be in contact with people now.

"Fifth brother, tomorrow is the palace test, why are they here?" Liu Tong asked in surprise.

Xu Yuhuai and Meng Zhao's faces were a little heavy, King Rui glanced at them, smiled back at Liu Tong and said, "They failed to enter the palace examination. ”

Liu Tong raised his eyebrows.

Rui Wang said: "Although Chunyu has never failed the list, his ranking just failed to meet the qualifications for the palace entrance examination. ”

In this way, Liu Tong understood.

It's nothing more than someone who used a trick to make them unable to show themselves in front of Emperor Yuanwu.

"And then?" Liu Tong asked, "What are your plans?" ”

Xu Yuhuai arched his hand and said: "Back to His Royal Highness Jiu, thanks to His Royal Highness King Rui, he can afford Xu, but in the future, if he is sent, Xu should do his best." ”

Meng Zhao nodded, but didn't say anything.

King Rui smiled: "You are also a person with merit and fame now, you can continue to study and study, and then do the big competition in three years." Of course, taking advantage of the present, if you can do a little bit in the Ministry of Officials, you can also get a place for being released as an official. ”

Xu Yuhuai and Meng Zhao's eyes lit up.

"But—" King Rui paused and looked up at the two of them, "You have to choose what path you want to take in the future." (To be continued.) )
