"Don't mention this ungrateful villain, I don't want to hear this name again in my life!" Shui Yue shouted, and the indignant general took the sticky rod and got up and said: "I don't believe that without him Li Wei, a few of us big living people can't cure a few cicadas here." ”

Xiao Luzi was speechless, after Li Wei left Jingsiju, he had secretly looked for Li Wei, hoping to persuade him to stop the precipice, but he was ridiculed by Li Wei for a while, saying that he had already endured his stupidity and asked him not to be clever anymore.

Shui Xiu didn't say anything, just sighed secretly, there were originally six of them, but in the blink of an eye, they were halfway there, and Ah Yijiu only came back once in a while outside the mansion; Mo Yu went to the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion, all this is over, the most regrettable and hateful thing is Li Wei's betrayal, he personally destroyed everyone's trust.

The three of them kept their hands weak to lift, and they were able to stick the cicadas on the tree, and only a few of them remained on the tree, so that they would no longer make noise.

Xiao Luzi carried a cage containing more than a dozen summer cicadas and was about to go out, when he suddenly saw Yinzhen coming in, and hurriedly avoided it to the side.

Yin Zhen glanced at them and asked with a little displeasure: "Why are they all outside, don't you have to serve your master?" ”

"Back to the prince's words, the master is taking a nap in the house at noon, and the minions are afraid that the cicadas will make noise to the master, so they come here to catch cicadas." Xiao Luzi replied carefully.

Yin Zhen nodded, walked straight to the inner hall, and after staying inside, he saw Ling Ruo lying on the bed, a snow-white lotus arm exposed outside the perilla embroidered begonia brocade quilt, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned with a light smile, as if he had dreamed of something happy.

Yin Zhen smiled slightly, and didn't wake her up, just sat down on the edge of the bed and quietly looked at the beautiful and quiet face, the warm wind blew in from the open window, blowing the corners of his dark green brocade robe.

After about half an hour, Ling Ruo woke up from his dream, and when he opened his eyes and saw Yinzhen who was close at hand, he was stunned for a moment, and called out with some uncertainty: "Fourth master? ”

"What? I don't even recognize you after a night's sleep? Yin Zhen smiled and helped up Ling Ruo, who was still a little relaxed.

Listening to his jokes, Ling Ruo smiled and said, "Even if you forget yourself, you will remember the fourth master, but why don't you wake up the concubine when you come?" It's not boring to sit there. ”

"It's okay left and right, so why wake you up." While speaking, there were a few firecrackers faintly outside the house, followed by the sound of gongs and drums, as if it was very lively.

Ling Ruo asked curiously, "What's so lively outside?" ”

"You forgot, today is a big day for the palace test list, the emperor Ama has appointed the top three, and now the champion is leading the Jinshi to parade the streets!" Yinzhen explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Ling Ruo suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "I don't know who is the champion of today's department?" ”

"It's the son of Zhang Xiangjia, I have read his article, he did a very good job, and his strategy is also good, Huang Ama attaches great importance to him, in addition to the name of Qin, he also issued a decree to give marriage and marry Jingxue to him."

And so it was...... Ling Ruo thought of that incomparably smart woman, she really guessed everything, guessed the person she was going to marry, guessed her future path, but was she happy?

And Rong Yuan, what would he think?

"But you want to take a look?" Yin Zhen saw that Ling Ruo suddenly didn't speak, but said that she wanted to see the grand occasion of the champion parade on the street.

Ling Ruo nodded, she also wanted to meet the man who Kangxi Chrysostom pointed out to Jing Xue, hoping that it was really a handsome young man with outstanding character and talent.

The so-called champion parade street, refers to the emperor in the Jinluan Hall to pass the roll call, hand-picked champions, Bangyan, Tanhua and the second and third Jinshi, the champion led all the Jinshi to thank the emperor, and then to the left gate of Chang'an to watch the posted gold list, from the Jinluan Palace to the left gate of Chang'an, to pass through the Taihe Gate, the Meridian Gate, the Duanmen, the Chengtian Gate until the Daqing Gate, and then they can go home.

Ling Ruo stood in the crowd of onlookers with Yinzhen to watch the champion and the Jinshi ride horses, and the first to walk was naturally Zhang Ying, the champion of the current department, and I saw that he was about twenty years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a talent. At this moment, holding the imperial edict in his hand, stepping across the golden saddle and vermilion-maned horse, opening the road in full swing, hugging before and after, it is really "the spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day." ”

And Zhang Ying is the same title on the big and small gold lists, and the champions and foreheads rushed to come, which can really be described as "carp jumping over the dragon gate", and since then it has been on the rise.

Looking at the champion who passed in front of him, Ling Ruo said silently: Jing Xue, although this person is not the one you think in your heart, he is also a good match, and he should treat you well.

A few days later, Li Dequan was ordered by Kangxi to pass on Ling Ruo's visit to the palace, and after returning from Hangzhou, this was the first time Kangxi summoned Ling Ruo.

At that time, Kangxi was reviewing the folds in the Xinuan Pavilion, and Ling Ruo didn't dare to disturb after entering, and stood quietly to the side until Kangxi raised her head from the folds, and she stepped forward and bowed.

Kangxi put down the pen in his hand, got up and walked slowly in front of Ling Ruo after the case, for some reason, Kangxi, who has always been approachable, gave her a wordless sense of oppression at this moment, just standing like this made it difficult for her to breathe.

After a long time, a majestic voice finally fell from the top, "Do you know about Jing Xue's refusal to marry?" ”

Refusal? Ling Ruo was surprised, and raised his head to meet Kangxi's indifferent face, "If you go back to the emperor, the slave doesn't know about it." ”

"In this way, you don't know that she refused to marry because of Xu Rongyuan?" Kangxi's voice was like ice water poured on his head, making Ling Ruo's whole body cold, and the blood all over his body seemed to stop flowing.

"Slave maid ......" Ling Ruo was about to say that he didn't know, but when he caught a glimpse of Kangxi's scrutinizing gaze, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly changed the words that had already come to his mouth, "Slave and maid know what to say." ”

Hearing these four words, Kangxi's face softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "What is going on, explain it carefully to me, and don't miss a word." ”

Ling Ruo said after carefully considering it: "Back to the emperor, in fact, the concubine was only when she met the princess when she entered Changchun Garden last year, and I heard her say something, the princess admired Imperial Doctor Xu's medical skills, so she secretly had feelings, but everything was out of affection, stopped at courtesy, and never crossed the rules of etiquette." ”

"Are you finally willing to tell the truth?" Kangxi sneered, and said in Ling Ruo's surprise: "Jing Xue didn't say anything, only said that she didn't want to marry Zhang Ying, I asked her for a long time and couldn't ask the reason, or Concubine De mentioned it, will Jing Xue already have someone in her heart." I thought about it, in recent years, Xu Rongyuan is the only one who has been closer to Jing Xue, if I ask him directly, he may not be willing to say, you and Xu Rongyuan have known each other since childhood, and there is a lot of contact, I guess you may know a thing or two, so I summoned you to the palace, and it was so under the temptation. ”

Without waiting for Ling Ruo to explain, he had already suddenly attacked, "You are all so bold, such an important thing is actually hidden from me!" If Jing Xue is like this, so are you! Say, how many things are there that I don't know? Kangxi slapped his palm on the mahogany armrest, staring at Ling Ruo with an angry face.

"Please calm the emperor's anger." Ling Ruo hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, but he didn't know what to say.
