When Jingchen was still a milk doll, he was sent to Longhu Mountain by the royal family, and he went to the old forest in the mountains for eighteen years, staying in the old forest in the deep mountains, since he remembered, he was taught his homework by his uncles and uncles, both civil and military, and he did not do a single piece of rough work, but he also had no time to play, and when he was younger, he began to wander in the mountains and forests, and more often dealt with flowers, plants, birds and beasts than people.

Listening to Jing Chen's straightforward answer, the people at the table were listening with great interest at first, but then it was really boring, so they gradually changed the topic and led to the matter of Jing Chen's way into Beijing.

"Cousin, I heard that you encountered some danger on the way to Beijing and was injured, is it true?" It was Liu Jiu who asked this, the prince ranked eighth, ranked between Liu Hao and Liu Tan, and his biological mother was a nobleman who was not favored in the palace, and like the eleventh prince, he went in and out with Liu Hao all day long.

Xue Rui listened to this question, turned his eyes and glanced at Liu Hao, and knew it in his heart. Jingchen was framed on the road, the murderer was unknown, the emperor ordered the seal to be sealed, but handed over the investigation to Liu Hao, there were few insiders outside, where did Liu Jiu "heard", it was nothing more than Liu Hao's instructions.

Jingchen has been in the palace for a while, but every day he sees the emperor, most of these cousins and cousins have only eaten a palace banquet together, and they are still very strange.

He looked at Liu Jiu, who looked concerned, hesitated, and nodded, in the end, he was still not used to lying.

Jing Chen was just a small movement, and everyone at the table looked shocked one by one, looking at him with caring and worried eyes, and asked in a gossipy manner:

"What's wrong?"

"Where's the injury? Isn't it serious?"

"Is it a natural disaster or **?"

Yu Shu looked at the people at this table coldly, secretly observed their expressions, and secretly analyzed whether anyone here was related to the gang of bastards who hurt Jingchen, which was the main purpose of her coming to the banquet today.

Yu Shu's observation really made her find something strange, Xue Rui, Liu Tan, Liu Hao, these insiders sat and drank, and they didn't care, why was the little county lord of Xiwen still pulling Shui Yun's little junior sister to study palmistry?

Xi Wen seemed to be aware of Yu Shu's gaze. Turning their heads, the two looked at each other, and a sneer again, then turned his face and whispered something to Shui Yun beside him, Shui Yun looked up at Yu Shu, looked at it for a while, and then turned his head to say a few words to Xi Wen, and Xi Wen laughed "poof". Yu Shu looked at her face as if a flower had bloomed, and she didn't know what Lu Dao Shui Yun said to make her so happy.

If Yu Shu sat closer, he could hear the conversation between the two just now:

"Sister Shui, did you see the girl on the other side, help me take a look at her face. Will it be rich or expensive in the future?"

"Miss Yu has a neutral face, and there is no wealth in her life."

"Oh? That's the top ten class of people that my sister just told me, how many people can be counted?"

"It should be ninth."

"Poof, isn't that an inferior person."

Shui Yun frowned and didn't answer, but let go of Xi Wen's hand without a trace, Xi Wen patronized and was happy, and didn't notice the disapproval in her eyes.

***

These people at the table are all good at looking at their faces and have cared for them for a long time. It can be seen that Jingchen is reluctant to confide more, and most of them settle down, but there are also people who don't know each other.

"By the way, I also heard one thing," Liu Jiu scratched his head and glanced at Yu Shu's direction intentionally or unintentionally: "The palace gave a reward a while ago, to a girl who is said to escort her cousin into the palace in Beijing, is there such a thing?"

Jingchen likes to be quiet the most, and was surrounded by this group of people for a long time. It's a bit of a headache to be noisy. But when someone asked about Yu Shu, he concentrated on answering:

"Hmm. I was in distress on the way, and it was thanks to a friend who took care of me that I was able to reach the capital safely. ”

"Oh? Which girl is here today?" Liu Jiu looked left and right, thinking that he was confused, while the others looked at Yu Shu, the matter was very clear, the young girl in front of him who did not look amazing was only qualified to sit here and sit with them because she escorted Daozi.

"Well, here we are." Jingchen has no plans to introduce it, but you might as well know it.

Yu Shu found that he had become the focus of attention at this table, so he honestly put down the heavy pair of white jade chopsticks and smiled at people, because there was a little sesame seed particles on the corner of his mouth, which looked a little silly.

"Dare to ask the girl's name?" Someone asked.

"If you go back to Your Highness, the student's surname is Yu, and the single name is Shu, and there is no word." Yu Shu saw that it was a prince who was asking, so he didn't dare to offend, so he stood up and answered in a proper manner.

Xue Rui, who was sitting next to her, drank a little wine comfortably, watching her cope with it herself.

"Oh? You call yourself a student, isn't she a candidate this year, well, the imperial examination doesn't accept women, so you are a candidate for the Dayan Examination?"

"The student is not talented, he is the one who took the test in this year's Dayan exam."

"Oh?" Liu Hao held the wine glass, and he didn't squeak for a long time, and suddenly interjected, "I don't know where Miss Yu is and what family she comes from?"

Yu Shu heard Xue Rui mention the relationship between Liu Hao and Ji Xingxuan, and was jealous of this King Ning, and while paying attention to the traps in his words, he replied carefully:

"The prince smiled, the student is not a child of a family, his hometown is in the southern wetlands, and only one master has instructed him, and he has no chance to disperse later."

"Yes," Liu Hao narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "That Miss Yu's master is really very capable, and the apprentices she teaches are better than the students of Taishi Academy."

Liu Hao's words provoked the eyes of a table of people who were originally interested in the mountains to light up, Xue Rui's hand holding the wine glass tightened, and he looked up at Liu Hao with an unpredictable gaze.

This made someone ask excitedly: "Where did Seventh Brother say this, is this Miss Yu more tolerant than the people in Taishi Academy?"

Liu Hao nodded, Yu Shu's eyelids jumped, and almost at the same time as he spoke, he guessed what he was going to say:

"Once, last year, I went to Uncle Huang's Dingbo Pavilion, and Liu Jiong and a few of them made an appointment with them, accompanied by the former Si Tianjian Right Judge Ji Jia's Sixiu, presumably they have heard of her reputation, three years ago passed a big Yan test, and this year I re-examined, which is aimed at the title of Da Yi Shi. As a result, she was defeated by this Yu girl, and I don't believe that you asked the prince, is there such a thing?"

Liu Jiong's innocence was affected, he looked at King Ning with a smile, and then at Xue Rui, whose face was as heavy as water, and replied dryly: "Well, there is such a time."

Someone testified and proved that it was true, and the banquet suddenly became lively, and a pair of eyes shifted to Yu Shu again, and her eyes became eager, and before she could react, a young prince she had seen for the first time today opened her mouth first:

"Miss Yu, this king invites you to this year's Double Yang Festival, how do you like it?"
