Where Prime Minister Meng Cheng is, Su Jichen must come to brush up on the sense of storage, no, Meng Xiang and Zhao Chen haven't stood down for long, Su Jichen found them, although Zhao Chen made him hesitate a little, but he still decided to go over.

Seeing that Su Jichen was getting closer and closer, His Royal Highness Duan Wang, who was dressed in snow and a golden crown, turned around indifferently, dropped a "farewell" and left.

This made Prime Minister Meng Cheng, who stayed in place, feel more and more that the two did not deal with each other.

As far as he knew, Su Jichen and Duanwang had only one intersection.

When he was in Ganlin, Su Jichen saved his daughter, oh, it can't be called a rescue, but it has that meaning, although what he did was not valuable, but at least the starting point was good, why was King Duan displeased? Could it be that it tastes good?

Prime Minister Meng Cheng twisted his beard and thought about it, Su Jichen stood in front of him and saluted, a little embarrassed: "Xiangye, doesn't His Royal Highness King Duan want to see Zihuan before leaving?" ”

Meng Cheng's face did not change and said, "How come?" Zihuan was too worried, the prince had other things to do, so he went over first. ”

Su Jichen knew that this was definitely not the case, but it was not easy to refute the prime minister's face, so he pretended to be stunned, changed the topic and said: "Xiangye, the banquet is ahead, I don't know if the younger generation will have the honor to go with Xiangye?" ”

If Prime Minister Meng Cheng agreed, it would give him a lot of face, and other officials would definitely be impressed when they saw him getting so close to the prime minister, and they would be more interested in accepting him.

To be able to make this invitation, Su Jichen felt that he had a certain weight in the prime minister's heart, and he also wanted to be the prime minister's side, on the one hand, to repay the prime minister's kindness, and on the other hand, ...... For her, of course.

Prime Minister Meng was about to speak, but Zhao Chen, who had just left, went and returned, and Xing Shen arrived in front of the prime minister one step ahead of him, which frightened the two of them.

"Xiangye, the prince is waiting for you in front, please go to the front to meet the prince." He clenched his fists and said, his mighty figure made Su Jichen, who was standing beside him, a little thin, and Su Jichen stood silently to the side, looking at the place where Xing Shen said.

Zhao Chen and the prince who were dressed in bright yellow stood by the flower bed, all the ministers were beside them, not far away, the second prince and the fifth prince were approaching, and the fourth prince was supported by his subordinates to walk at the end, there were only these three or two people on their side, which was really deserted.

"It's okay, Zihuan, the original appearance is one step ahead, and I am out of company." Prime Minister Meng Cheng quickly made a decision and walked in the direction of Zhao Chen.

Su Jichen was a little lost, his mood was very depressed, he looked at Prime Minister Meng Cheng's back, and saw Zhao Chen looking over here, his eyes fell on him, and his sharp gaze contained this imperceptible murderous aura.

Su Jichen couldn't help but shudder, what's going on? Could it be that King Duan saw his little bit of caution? How is it possible, he has only spoken to Miss Meng a handful of times, even if he has tried to save her, but he has never exceeded the rules, and he has not told half of the people about those thoughts in his heart, he must be a thief and think too much.

Zhao Chen squinted at Su Jichen coldly, others thought he was looking at Prime Minister Meng Cheng in the same direction, Zhao Yin couldn't help but guess when he came, could it be that Prime Minister Fei had something unpleasant with him? That's his chance. Zhao Chen is obviously on the side of the prince now, and it is preferable for him to have connections and disintegrate his forces, starting from the prime minister.

When the prime minister arrived in front of a few people, Zhao Chen had already recovered his usual unsmiling but peaceful appearance, and everyone walked towards the banquet together, and the candidates who had won a good ranking this year gathered there, and when they saw these people who were either rich or noble, there was a strong longing and expectation in their hearts, hoping that they could one day reach that status.

"The emperor has arrived!"

The voice of the eunuch sounded, it came from the other side, the supreme person of the Zhou Dynasty arrived, and the eyes of everyone present looked over there, and everyone saluted without exception, such a scene, the crown prince Zhao Xuan was excited, the virtuous king Zhao Yin was unwilling, and the duanwang Zhao Chen did not have any change in expression from beginning to end, as if he was not interested in that status, just like having been an emperor.

"Get up." The emperor sat on the throne, his eyes swept over the people present, and did not linger on anyone too much, "There is a little delay, I am a little late, let you wait for a long time." ”

The emperor was tired of hearing it and waved his hand: "Sit down, don't stand still." ”

The emperor ordered, everyone sat down one after another, Su Jichen naturally sat in the front position as the champion, except for the prince and ministers, the first thing the emperor saw was him.

"This is the new champion." The emperor looked at Su Jichen and said with a smile, "I remember you, your performance was very good during the palace examination, and the future is immeasurable. ”

Prime Minister Meng Cheng couldn't help but slander, what's wrong with this father and son, how do they like to say these four words, which makes people's hearts furious.

Su Jichen stood up, looking a little excited, but he also handled it just right, neither looking disrespectful nor flustered, he made an impeccable salute, and said in a proper manner: "Student Su Jichen, meet the emperor, the emperor is happy for a long time." ”

The emperor bowed his head and asked him to sit down, and then pointed lazily to the side, meaning that the banquet could begin.

The crown prince sat in the first position on the left side of the emperor, followed by Zhao Yin and Zhao Chen. The palace maid poured wine for Zhao Chen, he picked up the wine glass and shook it, sniffed it between his snorts, hooked the corners of his mouth and drank it all. After putting down the cup, the palace maid immediately filled it for him.

Su Jichen, who was sitting below the minister, was a little dazed, he really wanted to have a chance to express himself, but it seemed that such a banquet did not allow him to express himself, so he had to talk about it later.

After three rounds of drinking, Su Jichen felt a little unwell, and after asking the palace maid, he got up and went to the toilet.

When Zhao Chen saw that he was up, he also stood up, and went out of the banquet with a wine glass, and the emperor glanced at it and didn't care.

The Qionglin Banquet is held near the Imperial Garden, and you can smell the refreshing fragrance of flowers when you go out there. Su Jichen, who came out of Gongfang, walked around the imperial garden and watched carelessly, thinking about how to go in the future, and was a little distracted for a while.

Suddenly, a lot of fallen leaves fell on his head, Su Jichen was stunned, looked up, and there was a young girl leaning on the branch, she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a rose-colored palace dress, combing her beautiful hair in a bun, obviously extraordinary.

Even though Su Jichen drank some wine, he was still very sober, he immediately gave up his position and bent down, and said solemnly: "The students passed by here, and they were stunned for a while, and they didn't want anyone here, so they left and disturbed." ”

He was about to leave, but the girl in the tree giggled and said clearly, "What are you afraid of?" I'll eat you. ”

Su Jichen felt more and more ashamed, lowered his head and said, "No, how could it be, I just don't want to bother more." ”

The girl jumped from the tree, and her kung fu was good, such a young and energetic woman, which man could resist? But this Su Jichen just didn't look at it, and lowered his head as if he couldn't avoid it.

The Ninth Princess was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you dare to look at me?" Could it be that you know me? ”

Su Jichen lowered his head and said: "In this palace, dressed like you, you don't need to know who it is." ”

"You're a man." The ninth princess smiled, "You rely on guessing, but I rely on looking, I know who you are." ”

Su Jichen raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at her quickly and said goodbye, the ninth princess said leisurely: "You are the new champion Su Jichen, am I right?" ”

He smiled dumbly and nodded, "Yes." ”

"I'm Princess Jing'an, you can be sure now." The ninth princess reported to her home.

When Su Jichen heard this, he immediately wanted to salute, the whip of the ninth princess flew out and wrapped around his arm, he looked at it in surprise, she raised her lips and smiled: "You are really boring, I have already determined that I am an extraordinary identity but do not salute, and now I have to salute again, it's too late!" ”

Su Jichen was about to speak, and a cold and unhappy voice sounded at this time, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"Jing'an, what are you doing here?"

Hearing this voice, the Ninth Princess's face changed, she received the whip behind her, turned around and lowered her eyebrows and said, "Brother Three Emperors." ”

Zhao Chen walked slowly with a wine glass, and after stopping, his hand shook carelessly, the wine was about to overflow several times, but it never really overflowed, which made people quite admirable.

"Last time, you made Hubu Shangshu ugly, and this time you want to make the new champion suffer, if your father knows, you will be grounded again."

Su Jichen's mood in the face of Zhao Chen was quite complicated, with some fighting spirit, some fear, and a trace of inferiority complex that was hidden deeply.

He lowered his head, frowned and was silent, Zhao Chen chatted with the ninth princess for a few words, and then turned the topic to him.

"Why, Champion Lang didn't enjoy the banquet at the banquet, what did he do in the Imperial Garden?"

Zhao Chen's voice carried some reprimand, which was uncontrollable, but it was not intentional.

The ninth princess felt that the third emperor brother, who had always treated people well, suddenly disliked a person for no reason, but was aroused by her curiosity about Su Jichen. She blinked at him, but he kept his head down and didn't look at anyone.

"Lord Wang, the student is not feeling well, come out to breathe, and then go back." Su Jichen said respectfully.

Zhao Chen suddenly stretched out the wine glass that had been pinching in his hand towards him, and said meaninglessly: "Speaking of which, this king and Zhuang Yuanlang are also a little related. You are the prime minister's doorman, this king is the future son-in-law of the prime minister, and the future life of the father-in-law, this king will naturally not treat him lightly. ”

Su Jichen slowly looked up at Zhao Chen, and the first thing that caught his eye was the wine glass in his hand.

"This glass of wine is the king's reward for you." After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he pushed forward again.

Su Jichen hesitated for a moment, and quickly reached out to pick it up, but Zhao Chen suddenly let go, the expensive wine bottle fell to the ground, and the elixir jade brew spilled on the ground, splashing on Su Jichen's vermilion clothes, leaving a little watermark.

"I suddenly remembered that this wine bottle has been used by the king, so let's do it next time."

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he turned around and left expressionlessly, and the Ninth Princess and Su Jichen, who stayed in place, did not speak for a long time.

Soon after the Qionglin banquet, the emperor decreed that Su Jichen, the new champion, would be the concubine of Princess Jing'an, and the official was appointed as the editor of the Qipin Hanlin Academy.

Although the official position of this Hanlin Academy is not high, he is still the emperor's favorite nine princesses, and his future is bright, and no one dares to underestimate him.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Jichen, who got the news, was still in a fog, looking at the words on the holy decree, he was not happy at all.

When Prime Minister Meng Cheng knew about this, he was reading the official document in the study, Meng Yuan came to bring him a ginseng soup to warm his body, he said while drinking: "This Su Zihuan is really not simple, for my father I thought that he would at most find a six- or seven-grade official to stay in Beijing to serve, how did he think that he would be able to pay off the ninth princess." ”

Meng Yuan has some understanding of the Ninth Princess, and has also had a relationship, when he heard that she was going to recruit Su Jichen as a concubine, he was still a little like a different world, and his grinding hand lost his sense of proportion for a while, and he splashed a lot.

Prime Minister Meng Cheng slowly looked at his daughter, and seeing that she was unwilling, he thought of Zhao Chen's dislike for Su Jichen, and asked casually: "I don't know what Yuan Yuan thinks of this family business?" ”

Meng Yuan came back to his senses, smiled slightly, and said softly: "This family business is excellent, Su Zihuan was once his father's guest, if he can have good achievements in the future, it will be no harm to his father." ”

Meng Cheng smiled secretly, lowered his head and stopped mentioning this matter, Meng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was stirred.

The New Year is coming soon, and after the New Year, Su Jichen will be the princess. It turned out that if he hadn't eloped with him back then, he would have such a good future. It seems that they are each other's broom stars, she followed him, her life was bumpy, and she ended up depressed, he married her, buried his talent all his life, and his family was surrounded by walls. Between them, they are destined to be strangers.

These are just known things, but what about the unknown? Will Zhao Chen still be the prince and the emperor in this life like in his previous life? Are they a good match for each other? What would the future be like if they were together?

The day before Chinese New Year's Eve, a banquet was held in the palace to invite ministers and nobles to Wang Sun, and Meng Cheng took Meng Yuan to participate, which was the first time in a month, Meng Yuan once again had the opportunity to meet Zhao Chen.

Last time, because of the matter of Princess Su Jichenshang, Meng Yuan had many scruples and feelings about the future, but this time when he thought of seeing Zhao Chen, he lost his excitement in the past, and seemed to be a little depressed.

In the eyes of others, this has become her sad because of Su Jichen's matter, especially in the eyes of Zhao Chen, who has memories of her previous life.

After receiving Xingshen's reward, Zhao Chen, who wanted to meet Meng Yuan again before Chinese New Year's Eve, gave up this idea and waited until the day of the palace banquet to inevitably meet her.

At the palace banquet, Meng Yuan sat behind Prime Minister Meng Cheng, opposite the princess and the princes. The ninth princess is favored, and she is a young daughter, and she is favored by the royal brother and sister, so she stepped forward to say hello to the emperor first.

Meng Yuan looked at her from below for a while, and when he retracted his gaze, he subconsciously looked at Zhao Chen, thinking that he would ignore her when he first met her today, but he was also looking at her.

The picture can't help but coincide with the year when she was eight years old, when she saw Zhao Chen for the first time at an occasion like a palace banquet.

His gaze at him at that time was pure and gentle, and his whole person was shining, but now it was completely different.

There are many more emotions in his eyes, complicated, unspeakable, full of desire, and forcibly restrained, and she can't understand any of them.

It's just that there is only one thing they know very well, after the New Year, she will be married to him after her birthday, and at that time, she will marry him.

Thinking of this, Meng Yuan's face, which had always been restrained, showed a heartfelt smile, and the brilliance lit up Zhao Chen's gloomy heart, his heart trembled, the lines of his face slowly softened, and his thin lips opened and closed gently, which was a two-word mouth.

Meng Yuan thought about it repeatedly in his heart, and finally determined which two words it was.

He said, "I miss you."

Originally, as the position of the Hanlin Academy to edit the seven products, he had no chance to participate in the palace banquet. But Su Jichen is different, he is about to be a princess, as a colt, he can participate.

Sitting next to the Ninth Princess, he had already quietly observed Meng Yuan. Seeing her flirting with an eyebrow somewhere in front of her, you don't have to think about it to know who is there.

This time, it was Su Jichen's turn to drink glass after cup, and the ninth princess came back from the emperor to ask for a reward, and saw that her future concubine frowned and kept drinking, which seemed to have something sad.

The Ninth Princess sat down and asked with some uncertainty: "Zihuan, what's wrong with you, very unhappy?" ”

Su Jichen raised his eyes to look at her, the princess's face was beautiful and moving, but somehow, what she couldn't get was the best? In his heart, he can no longer tolerate a second person.

"Nope." Su Jichen smiled, his cheeks were slightly drunken red, and he became more and more sparse and handsome, "It's just that I'm a little tired." ”

Isn't it the original wish to become a colt and stay in Beijing to serve? Why don't you seem happy now?

Also, if you can't marry your beloved, what's the point of dominating the world.

Can...... Su Jichen raised his eyes, and this time he smiled a little drunk, and Princess Jing'an couldn't help but be a little worried.

In fact, maybe you can rewrite a qiē after the power is overpowered?

Silently, Su Jichen made a terrible determination, which neither Meng Yuan nor Zhao Chen knew.

The two haven't seen each other for many days, originally Zhao Chen was cold, and Meng Yuan didn't want to do anything, but now he took the initiative to say, what is she going to do?

"Ahem." Prime Minister Meng suddenly coughed, lowered his voice and said, "On the palace banquet, what kind of system is it!" ”

Meng Yuan immediately retracted his eyes, lowered his head in embarrassment, and Prime Minister Meng Cheng snorted lightly: "And stay in peace, my father will find an opportunity for you." ”

Meng Yuan's eyes lit up, but she didn't have to be happy for long, and another piece of news made her whole body gloomy.

Before the end of the palace banquet, the border 800 li came in a hurry to report that Mu Dan had been disturbing the border with our DPRK for many days, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil, and the two countries could go to war at any time.

Today, the saint was furious, with General Yongning as the commander, he led an army of 200,000 to the border to support immediately, and the other person who was going to fight with the army was Zhao Chen, the king of Duan, who had begun to fight with the army when he was a teenager.
