The next day, the martial arts examination was carried out normally.

When the written test is over on the fourth day, Xiao Rui's task as a companion will be completed, and the next thing is to review, which has nothing to do with Xiao Rui. The examination was only on the second day of the second subject.

After Xiao Rui finished the martial arts examination, he entered the palace to tell His Majesty.

Before coming to the Palace of Heart Cultivation, I heard that His Majesty was discussing national policies with the cabinet scholars, and Xiao Rui was inconvenient to disturb, so he waited in the side hall.

When I entered the side hall, I saw that Yan Xiaoxiao was also inside.

Although she is a female writer, when the cabinet scholars discuss important national policies with His Majesty, they still need to avoid it, and only Hai Dafu, who is the master of ceremonies, and Zhang Gonggong, the eunuch of Bingbi, participate.

"Your Highness, you're here!"

Yan Xiaoxiao's face turned red, and she seemed to think of the scene on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when the two were hiding under the dragon case.

Because Xiao Rui thought of that scene at this time.

"This is over, so I'm here to explain it to my father." Xiao Rui said with a smile.

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded and asked, "Your Highness, when are you going to leave Beijing?" ”

Xiao Rui calculated the time, after the liberal arts examination, the papers were approved, the list was set, and the palace examination could only be taken on March 15, and Jia Xu was responsible for the overthrow of Zhou Mingwen, and Xiao Rui did not necessarily have to stay in the capital, so it was okay to leave early and leave late, of course, I had to ask His Majesty what he meant.

"It's tentatively in mid-March, and there's still a month to go." Xiao Rui said with a smile.

Yan Xiaoxiao showed a look of envy and said, "It's so good, I really envy Your Highness." ”

"You also want to go out for a walk and see the great mountains and rivers outside?" Xiao Rui asked.

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Yes, how beautiful the scenery outside is, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, only I have heard of it, but I can't see it with my own eyes." ”

"Your hobbies are similar to Li Ruoxue, but it's a pity that you can't make friends." Xiao Rui said with a smile.

Yan Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, she is no longer a yellow-haired girl who has just arrived in the capital, she naturally knows the four famous celebrities in the capital, everyone is beautiful and moving, and her status is noble.

"Your Highness and Miss Li are very familiar?" Yan Xiaoxiao asked softly, looking a little lost, and bowed his head slightly, but he didn't let Xiao Rui see it.

Xiao Rui said: "It's a friend, with a soft temperament, get along with you, you two can probably become good friends." ”

"I'm not soft." Yan Xiaoxiao snorted lightly, a little tempered.

After speaking, he realized his tone, fiddled with the corners of his clothes, and said: "Your Highness once taught me that if you are too weak and soft, you will be bullied in the palace, so I am very tough." ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "You lowered your head and didn't dare to look at me, and you still said that you were tough?" ”

Yan Xiaoxiao raised her head at this time, looked at Xiao Rui, and saw the smile on the corner of his mouth, especially the smile in her eyes, which made her feel a little flustered, and hurriedly moved her gaze to the side.

"It's right to be tough." Xiao Rui couldn't bear to tease her, and said sincerely: "Although you are on duty in the Palace of Heart Cultivation, it seems that you are just a female official who holds the pen, but you are under a lot of pressure, is it difficult for the queen and the imperial concubine to be for you?" ”

"No... No. Yan Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and didn't admit it.

Xiao Rui looked at Yan Xiaoxiao, she was only seventeen years old, but she had to survive in this cold palace, this soft and weak character, how should she face the surging difficulties?

"Don't lie to me, I can guess even if I haven't seen it! You are so beautiful, how can the queen and the imperial concubine not be jealous? Of course, Tang Wang's mother, Concubine De, was promoted to a concubine in your capacity, and they are all old, their faces are not there, and you are in your prime, which makes them feel a greater sense of crisis than when they faced Concubine De. Xiao Rui sighed.

If he were an outsider, Xiao Rui would definitely not say these words, after all, he was slandering the queen and Huang Guifei, but in the face of Yan Xiaoxiao, Xiao Rui couldn't stand idly by.

Yan Xiaoxiao's heart is warm, as Xiao Rui said, only she understands the grievances and difficulties she has endured.

served as a writer in the Yangxin Palace, after a long time, the queen and Huang Guifei were afraid of another "concubine", and they were all old, this newcomer was in the prime of life, in case he was favored by His Majesty and soared, who could stop him?

So they are jealous and worried, but their status is noble, and it is impossible for them to directly deal with Yan Xiaoxiao, so what should they do?

They only need to say casually, and they can instruct the female officials around them to pounce on the thin Yan Xiaoxiao like a vicious wolf.

Yan Xiaoxiao went back to rest every night, she would be abused and ridiculed by other female officials, scolding her as a vixen and a shameless woman, fortunately, they didn't dare to do it, because they were afraid of scratching their faces, and after being found out by His Majesty, they all suffered, so they used words to humiliate, collectively ostracized, and even secretly threw away Yan Xiaoxiao's clothes and clothes, deliberately woke her up, and even poured water on her bed. He was punished by His Majesty and expelled from the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Who would have imagined that she would return to her residence very late every day, or even not want to go back, hiding alone in the corner of the Heart Cultivation Palace, hugging her knees and resting all night, and before she knew it, tears would wet her clothes.

She also had to hide a change of clothes in the side hall, because if she didn't hide it, he was afraid that after she went back, her clothes would disappear, and when the time came, she would rudely bump into Your Majesty, and in a word, she would be assigned to the Huanyi Bureau and become a little slave who washed clothes.

The words of those people were like knives, constantly cutting Yan Xiaoxiao's body, she didn't know how long she could hold on, maybe she couldn't hold on, and jumped into the well of the cold palace next to her.

During this time, Yan Xiaoxiao liked to hide under the dragon case.

Although it was pitch black, silent and cold, Yan Xiaoxiao was not afraid, it was countless times warmer than the women's palace where she was staying, and she could smell a familiar breath and accompany her.

Perhaps, this is what keeps her going.

Now hearing the words of His Royal Highness King Xian, Yan Xiaoxiao realized that His Royal Highness had been worried about himself and worried about himself.

Yan Xiaoxiao lowered her head, her eyes were red, and she tried to pinch her legs with her fingers to prevent her cowardly tears from flowing down.

Your Highness has said, be strong! So can't cry!

"No matter how much I say, it will look pale, because in this palace, I can't help you." Xiao Rui sighed, looking at Yan Xiaoxiao with her head down, she pretended to be strong, of course she could see it.

"So you have to be strong! The first time we met, you faced fierce bandits, you dared to protect your grandfather and grandmother, and you faced death, and now you just have to protect yourself. Xiao Rui said sincerely: "You have to be strong, you have to be brave, and even ruthless, remember, you don't live for others, there are your relatives outside, and me, we all care about you!" ”

Xiao Rui didn't know if he could change Yan Xiaoxiao and make her brave if he said this, but if he didn't say it, he really didn't know how long she could last.

Yan Xiaoxiao raised her head suddenly, her eyes were red and looking at Xiao Rui, at this moment, she had an impulse to throw herself into Xiao Rui's arms and cry loudly, she missed her mother, her father, her grandfather and grandfather, and she believed in a warm embrace, which made her feel painful and complained about the bitterness in her heart.

No one knows how many nights she hid in the corner and cried.

Xiao Rui sighed, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and handed it to Yan Xiaoxiao.

"The wind blows the grass and does not break, and the weak pole is strong! Tiny, I'm sure you can protect yourself! Xiao Rui said solemnly.

Yan Xiaoxiao took the handkerchief, held it vigorously in his hand, and nodded vigorously.

Even though his eyes were red, the tears never fell.

It didn't take long for Gonggong Gao to invite Xiao Rui to enter the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Emperor Xia leaned on the dragon chair to rest, it seemed that he had just finished talking about a big matter, and he just took time to rest.

"The son visits his father." Xiao Rui bowed.

Emperor Xia waved his hand, asked Xiao Rui to sit down, and said, "The martial arts examination is over?" ”

"Yes, Father, it is stable and orderly, and the martial arts examination has been successfully completed." Xiao Rui said with a smile: "As a companion, Erchen has also learned deeply and benefited a lot. ”

"Oh? Is it? What have you learned? Let me hear it! "Emperor Xia is interested.

Xiao Rui: ......

I'll just compliment me casually, Dad, you should take it seriously, you did it on purpose.

Xiao Rui opened his mouth and said, "Erchen has learned, study more and practice martial arts diligently, serve the motherland, and make progress every day!" ”

After speaking, I breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately I am a five-good student who has experienced modern education, otherwise it will be troublesome, I can't say: Erchen has learned, next time I will accompany the prison, I will bring melon seeds, peanuts and comics!

Xia Huang nodded and said, "Okay, don't listen to your nonsense, how is the progress of the Wenhui Test?" Is there any news from the people? ”

Xiao Rui's heart suddenly, what does his father mean by this? Is there any news spread by the people, could it be that it refers to a case of favoritism and fraud? Could it be that Dongchang sensed the rumors and told His Majesty?

"Erchen is concentrating on the martial arts examination, but he doesn't care about any news, could it be that his father heard some news?" Xiao Rui asked rhetorically.

Xia Huang was happy: "Yo, you are very numb, you are bold enough to ask about me." ”

"Please also ask my father to punish him." Xiao Rui honestly admits his mistakes.

Xia Huang said: "If you haven't heard about it, forget it, anyway, you are going to leave the capital, are you ready to go where first?" ”

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "Erchen hasn't thought about it seriously, I really don't have an idea, I went to Hangzhou first, and I heard that the prefect of Hangzhou Prefecture was corrupt and bent the law." ”

"The prefect of Hangzhou?" Emperor Xia was not too impressed, but he was quite impressed by the history of Hangzhou Thorn, and said: "Since I gave you the gold medal that I came to you, you must make good use of it, and don't do anything wrong, otherwise, don't blame me for punishing you." ”

"Erchen understands, naturally he will not know the law and break the law." Xiao Rui earnestly promised.

Xia Huang nodded and said, "Okay, it's okay, you can step down." Oh, by the way, I have good news for you, Jian Jiuxiao has entered the territory of the Great Zhao Kingdom, and it won't be long before he will destroy the Cao family for you and avenge you. ”

Xiao Rui nodded, at this time, he remembered the task given to him by the system, let him get through this crisis, why don't you take the opportunity to ask Your Majesty?

"Father, the eyelids of the sons and daughters are jumping, and I always feel that there is a crisis coming." Xiao Rui said.

Emperor Xia asked rhetorically: "Is it because I have done too much bad things, so I am nervous?" Hai Dafu, go, send a doctor back to the house with King Xian! ”

Xiao Rui: ......

Is this a real father?

"The son is not sick, and the son is retired." Xiao Rui hurriedly retired.

Xia Huang watched Xiao Rui run away, couldn't help but shake his head, and after chuckling, his smile slowly retracted.

"Ordered all the spies in Dongchang to check if there were any hidden dangers against King Xian. In addition, send Qinglian swordsmen to secretly protect King Xian! Xia Huang said.

Hai Dafu was stunned, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Yes, the slave will do it." ”
