113, enter the palace (two watches)

Although Sheng Xuejian has become the final winner, she is still very polite to watch Miss Lin Si against Song Liangchen on the sidelines, in fact, the ending of this game is also expected, Song Liangchen's chess strength is slightly better. Coming out of the examination hall, Sheng Xue didn't want to attract attention, so she walked behind.

But some people just don't want to let her go back so easily. Miss Lin Si stood there blocking her way, her face unkind. Sheng Xue saw that she expected that she would be unable to hold her breath, and smiled lightly: "I don't know if Miss Lin Si has anything to say to Xue Jian?" Miss Lin Si gritted her teeth: "Sheng Xuejian, don't be complacent, my father is the prime minister, even if you are the first in three games, you can't enter that palace gate!" ”

Sheng Xue replied lightly: "It's not up to me to decide whether I can enter that palace gate, and it's not Miss Lin Si who has the final say, it's just that Miss Lin Si lost all three battles today, but it's a well-known thing." ”

"You! I'm not going to talk to you so fast, let's see! After that, he angrily brushed his sleeves away! When I walked to the door, I realized that she was only the third in today's calligraphy, and her face was even more angry. Sheng Xue saw Miss Lin Si leaving, and sneered in her heart: "It's just angry, and there will be a good look in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future!" ”

Sheng Xue saw that she was about to walk forward when she raised her feet, but was stopped again. "Miss Sheng, please stay." Sheng Xue saw that she turned sideways, and sure enough, it was Song Liangchen. Sheng Xue looked at Song Liangchen helplessly and said, "Miss Song won't be like Miss Lin Si, and she plans to lecture me, right?" ”

Song Liangchen shook his head and said: "Before, I only knew that there was a girl named Sheng Xuejian in Shengjing, who lost all her family wealth and broke off relations with the Sheng family, and I thought she was an unbearable person. When I saw it today, I realized that I had been wrong. You're nice and worth a shot! ”

Sheng Xue sighed in her heart, in the end, she is the granddaughter of Taifu Song, and neither her temperament nor talent can be compared to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I had a good impression of Song Liangchen in my heart, and said, "Miss Song's Melantu, I thought. It's not just three thousand taels. I still have something to do, so I'm leaving. ”

Song Liangchen was still reminiscing about Sheng Xuejian's words, but when he came back to his senses, Sheng Xuejian had already gone away. Song Liangchen smiled slightly: "What an interesting person." On this day, Song Liangchen understood something. After the female science examination, in fact, the first place is Sheng Xuejian. And even if the first place is not Sheng Xuejian, as long as Sheng Xuejian becomes the third, the position of the four princesses' companions will not be her and Miss Lin Si.

The carriage returned to the Taifu Mansion. Song Liangchen went directly to Song Taifu's study. The family knew that Song Liangchen lost to Sheng Xuejian today, and they were afraid that she would be in a bad mood, so they didn't say a word about today's events. As soon as Mrs. Song saw her granddaughter walk in, she asked, "How is it?" Sheng Xuejian is not an ordinary person, right? ”

Song Liangchen nodded a little dejectedly and said, "Grandpa, you're right, it's me who was negligent." This time, the position of the four princesses to accompany the reading, I am afraid that Sheng Xue will have to see it. ”

Mrs. Song smiled slightly: "I didn't plan for you to go to the fourth princess to accompany you. I just want you to be at that old fox. "If the prime minister knew Mrs. Song's intentions, he would only be afraid to slap the table angrily at this moment.

Song Liangchen sighed softly: "This young lady of the Sheng family is worthy of fellowship. ”

The next day, the top three who passed the women's examination were called to the palace. However, unlike the men's imperial examination, they can go straight to the Jinluan Palace, and the three of them can only be summoned by the emperor in the imperial garden.

Sheng Xue saw that she was dressed in a snow-white fox fur today, and she was at the forefront alone, because she was the first in the female department, and according to convention, it should be so. Song Liangchen followed Sheng Xue with a calm face, but the expression on Miss Lin Si's face was not so indifferent. The grandmother in the palace led the three of them to the warm pavilion in the imperial garden, and Sheng Xue saw the emperor and the queen sitting on the top as soon as she came in, with concubines and several princesses sitting on both sides.

"See you in the courtier. Knock on the emperor, the queen, long live the emperor, long live the queen, long live the queen! "Sheng Xuejian is the leader. The three of them greeted the people on the throne one by one. The emperor's golden dragon robe was dazzling, although it was the year of his establishment, but his heroic appearance was gone, but there was an inexplicable gloom wrapped between his eyebrows, which made people unable to guess what he was thinking.

"No rudeness!" As soon as the emperor's golden mouth opened, the three of them stood up in unison. The emperor turned his head to look at Concubine Jing: "Concubine Jing." Here are the top three selected by the female department this year. You are the biological mother of the fourth princess, do you have a child? ”

Concubine Jing smiled faintly, and was about to open her mouth, when she heard Concubine Lin Guifei's rather sharp voice interrupting: "Your Majesty, this princess's companion reading is not child's play, only learning is secondary, and the concubine feels that there is indeed one that is the most valuable." ”

was interrupted by Concubine Lin like this, Concubine Jing had no choice but to keep her mouth shut, and the emperor was attracted by Concubine Lin's words: "Oh? Ai Concubine said, what is the most precious thing? Lin Guifei smiled slightly, revealing a dimple, and the emperor was pleasing to the eye: "The most valuable thing is morality, the concubine heard that the Sheng family broke off the relationship with Sheng Yuanlian, a scholar in the middle school, as if it was because of this Miss Sheng family in front of her?" ”

Moral loss is an extremely serious thing, Song Liangchen secretly sweated for Sheng Xuejian, this Lin Guifei is ruthless and ruthless, this is a few words to send Sheng Xuejian to hell, don't say that it is to become the princess's companion, even if you marry in the future, with a hat with a loss of moral character on your head, what good family can there be?

Miss Lin Si lowered her head, but the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be suppressed, and her aunt was still clever, looking at Sheng Xue to see how arrogant she could be. But Concubine Lin was in a hurry to hit Sheng Xuejian, but she forgot about the queen's side. "In that case, Liangchen is the most suitable candidate. I heard that Liangchen's results this time are above Miss Lin's, Sister Lin, is this palace right? ”

The queen changed the emperor's attention in a few words, and Concubine Lin opened her mouth, but she didn't know where to start, she accidentally ate the queen's secret loss. But let Song Liangchen become the companion of the fourth princess, how did she swallow this breath. With a roll of his eyes, he thought about it again.

"Sheng Xue, you should tell me, why did the Sheng family cut off relations with your family?"

"Return to the concubine." Sheng Xue saw that this was the one he was waiting for. "When my father was seriously ill and far away on the border, I begged my grandfather to write a letter to ask for God's favor and allow my father to return to Beijing for diagnosis and treatment, but my grandfather did not agree, and the eldest uncle and the second uncle had to separate the family. The implication is that this severance is purely forced. (To be continued.) )
