After a few days, it will be the recommendation exam.

When Lu Xihe was sitting in the main hall, she looked at the paper full of exam questions, and somehow, she suddenly remembered that when she was a child, Lu Yiran always taught her to read and write in person, so her handwriting was very similar to his.

She stabilized her mind, dipped her ink and began to answer.

When she walked out of the main hall, Luluo saw her at a glance and rushed up happily, "Miss, how is it?" Is it still going well? ”

Lu Xihe nodded, "The topic is not difficult, there should be no problem." ”

Green pothos applauded: "Miss, you are amazing! Let's go back, slave and maid will make you something to eat!" "The pothos was so excited that even the title became messy.

Guogong Mansion

Jin Guogong leisurely finished writing a word, and said to Lu Yiran, who was sitting on the side: "Your little sister has gone to the criminal department to be an examiner?" ”

Lu Yiran's face was unnatural, and he responded: "Yes." ”

The public power of the Jin Kingdom didn't know it, and said with a smile: "Young man, you always have such ideas. If she wants to, let her go, and when she has suffered enough, she will naturally know that her home is good. If you keep stopping her, she won't be reconciled. ”

Lu Yiran nodded yes, but she wasn't sure if she could win.

If you don't hit it, if you do... His hand holding the teacup tightened suddenly, and he would definitely make her cry and come back to him!

Jin Guogong shook his head and made evil.

"Why did you recommend her?"

Jin Guogong felt very sorry, "If she wants to go, let her go, as an elder brother, you should support her." ”

Lu Yiran sneered, "Brother? She doesn't know, isn't Guogong still unclear? I'm not her brother, and I'm not related to her by any blood! ”

Jin Guogong put down his pen, "So what?" can't take that position, in the eyes of the world, you will always be her brother. Between you, it will never be. ”

"Good, good. So you arranged for Ning Yan to get close to her and make her estranged from me. ”

"If Ning Yan is interested in her, it will naturally not be bad for you, as her eldest brother. You are tearing your face with him now, and you will do no good. ”

Lu Yiran's face darkened, "I will never tolerate anyone who approaches her, no one." ”

"You're fledgling now, and you won't be able to take advantage of him head-to-head. Ning Yan, what he did in his early years, even an old man like me was afraid when he said it. Why do you think people impeached him? It's not that I'm afraid that he will be too powerful and endanger himself. Listen to my advice and endure it for a while. When His Majesty is completely disgusted with him, it will not be too late for you to deal with him. ”

Lu Yiran knew that Jin Guogong's words made sense, but he just couldn't convince himself. He couldn't have watched her being coaxed by other people, watching her fall in love with other people.

"I can't wait, I can't wait a day." Lu Yiran slammed the cup, and blood slowly flowed from his fingers.

"If you can't hold your breath, you'll never get to that position. Do you want to never have her for the rest of your life? The Duke of Jin advised, "The day you ascend the throne as the emperor, the whole world is yours, let alone her?" ”

Lu Yiran fell into a great contradiction, and his identity was invisible. How easy is it to be emperor? The prince is hiding in the shadows to recuperate, Ning Yan is in the limelight, one of them holds the political power, and the other holds the military power, what do they have?

The Duke of Jin Guo saw his worries, "Ning Yankong has military power, and the people's hearts are lost." The crown prince is hypocritical, and there are not a few people in the court who question him. The day you restore your identity, it's not impossible to win against them. ”

Lu Yiran thought about his words seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Everything went according to the original plan. ”

The two basically reached an agreement, and the conversation came to an abrupt end.

After Lu Yiran left, the Duke of Jin picked up the pen again and muttered, "Evil fate..."

On the day when the results of the exam were announced, Lu Xihe got up early, cleaned up and sat in the yard with Luluo.

Lu Luo couldn't hold her breath, and said anxiously: "Miss, isn't it long overdue to come out with results?" Why hasn't anyone come to inform yet? ”

Lu Xihe said calmly: "Don't worry, maybe it's not our turn yet." ”

She picked up the teacup and tasted it a few times, but it was tasteless.

In the palace

Xiao Guifei frowned, and after listening to Ning Yan's words, she scolded: "Are you crazy? Lu Jing offended His Majesty, how could His Majesty possibly let you marry his daughter! Who you fancy can't do it, you have to want her! ”

Ning Yan knew that this was the result, and said stubbornly: "I don't want anyone except her." ”

"Rebel!" The cup in Xiao Guifei's hand smashed towards his head, Ning Yan didn't dodge, he took a solid hit, and a line of blood flowed from his head. "How much trouble do you want to get me into trouble, you wicked obstacle? Your Majesty has been dissatisfied with you for many days, why don't you stay at the border pass, what are you doing when you come back? Oh, I don't think that woman is a good person, say, how did she seduce you! ”

He didn't bother to wipe the blood, raised his head and looked indifferent, "Mother, is enough of scolding?" He stood up, his momentum terrifyingly low.

"I'm not here to ask for your opinion, you can agree or not. She, I'm married. ”

Xiao Guifei was so angry that she covered her chest, and she made a mistake in her straight way, and even her mother and concubine collided.

Ning Yan looked at her coldly, since she was a child, every time she was snubbed by her father, she would be angry with herself. He was beaten half to death every time, and now he is putting on this posture to show whom?

"Whoever I want to marry is my freedom. Mother, don't meddle in my affairs again, otherwise it won't be as simple as dying a few people. ”

Xiao Guifei pointed at him and shouted, "You rebel! How dare you threaten your mother! Come, bind him up to me. ”

Ning Yan's appearance looked extremely terrifying, and the palace people stood outside the door, but they didn't dare to come in.

He had slaughtered a temple full of people, and he had not done such a thing.

"What are you doing! Tie him up! Concubine Xiao said hurriedly.

Ning Yan stared at her, "Does the concubine think that I am still the powerless child back then?" Hahahaha, I was able to wash Shou'an Palace with blood back then, and I can still wash your Duanhua Palace with blood today! ”

Xiao Guifei's eyes widened in horror, she knew that this beast had never taken her in her eyes at all!

"You evil obstacle, I should have strangled you back then, it's better than that you are cold-blooded and ruthless now, and even your own mother and concubine will be killed!"

Ning Yan opened his empty hands, his eyes were like swords, "Mother, how can you compete for favor if you strangle me?" Will you and the Xiao family have today? ”

Xiao Guifei's fear and disgust for this son had long exceeded the love of birth and upbringing, and she wished that Ning Yan would be as far away from her as possible.

"Bengong is already pregnant, and His Majesty promised Bengong that as long as he is the prince, he will be immediately renamed the crown prince." Xiao Guifei's voice was sharp. She wants to raise a fetus, what can Ning Yan do with her?

Ning Yan really turned around and left, and the palace people gathered at the door dispersed one after another.

When the emperor's summoning decree came down, Ning Yan was already on his way to the Hall of Light.

Bai Xi said worriedly: "Your Highness, what if even the emperor doesn't agree?" ”

Ning Yan wiped the blood off his face, "I know it in my heart." ”

Bai Xi didn't know whether to say it or not, but when things got to this point, he had to say it. Bai Xi took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, have you asked Miss Lu's opinion?" ”

Ning Yan raised his eyebrows, "No." ”

"What if she doesn't want to? Your Highness, your subordinates have a lot of mouths, that Miss Lu is far from being as simple as she seems, isn't she bent on entering the Criminal Department? It's much easier to make a beauty trick and deliberately get your attention than it is for her to think of the punishment department herself. Your Highness, do you want to reconsider? ”

Ning Yan said impatiently, "Where did you get so much nonsense? ”

Bai Xi obediently shut up, but in his heart he was extremely dissatisfied with Lu Xihe, and he was blushing, this is really true!

After the emperor approved the fold, he didn't look at Ning Yan, "Which girl is it?" ”

"The daughter of Lu Jing, the governor of the Tiandu, Lu Xihe." He said word by word.

The emperor's face changed slightly, and he instantly returned to normal, "Oh? It's her? ”

"Father knows about her?"

The emperor smiled slightly, took out the case file of the Criminal Department from the table, the prince understood it, leaned over to take the case file, and gave it to Ning Yan.

"It's fun at a young age." The Emperor commented.

Ning Yan opened her answer sheet, read it carefully, and said, "Father, she is young, and I ask my father not to worry about her." ”

The emperor propped himself on the dragon chair with one hand, and his majestic eyes revealed shrewdness, "From local laws to national codes, she has not misremembered a word. The whole article is clear-minded, and even I was almost led by her nose..."

Ning Yan couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts, did he appreciate Lu Xihe, or did he want to get rid of him quickly?

"Father, she didn't mean to offend." Ning Yan wanted to explain for her, but she didn't know how to defend herself.

"What are you anxious about? I'm not done yet. The emperor said unhurriedly: "I am just thinking about which position in the Criminal Department is suitable for a person like her." There are vacancies in the positions of female officials in the Seventeen Officials Division and the Arrest Division, since you have a heart for her, why don't you help me choose one? ”

"Father, decide." Ning Yan replied.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the son he loved and hated. Didn't you go against yourself? It's not quite like his usual style.

"I think the Arrest Division is good." The emperor's words frightened Ning Yan, what is the place of the Arrest Division? Hunt down those outlaws, heinous bastards, and advocate countering violence with violence.

The group of people in the Arrest Division did not enter the oil and salt, and some of them were even muddder than him. Although there are also female officials, the same is true of those female officials. How will she get along with them once she goes in?

"She has been in poor health since she was a child, and she may not be able to adapt to the environment of the Arrest Division." No matter how dissatisfied Ning Yan was, he couldn't anger the emperor in this matter.

"Let's try it for a while, and then transfer her elsewhere if it doesn't work." The emperor put down his fold, caught a glimpse of Ning Yan's nervous appearance from a distance, and said: "Recently, the alien race in Qinglan Pass has come to attack, and the soldiers defending the city are very difficult, so you can go next month." I know about you. When you return in triumph, I will marry you. ”

Ning Yan looked up at the emperor, and after a while, he said stiffly, "Father Xie." ”

"If you have nothing to do, just leave." So said the Emperor.

Qinglan Pass is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the alien race is menacing, if the rear cannot provide food and grass in time, they will not be able to hold out for long.

The emperor took advantage of this opportunity to transfer Ning Yan to Qinglan Pass, and his heart was unpredictable.

Bai Xi looked at Ning Yan worriedly, "Hey..."

Ning Yan didn't think much about it, he was full of the scene after his triumphant return, Lu Xihe would become his fiancée, he would buy her a lot of interesting things, take her to the place she wanted, as long as she wanted, the stars in the sky would be picked for her.

He thought about it and laughed, his beautiful eyes overflowing with tenderness.

At a glance at Yujiang Tower, he had already begun to sink. He sent people to inquire about her a lot, and learned that she didn't like dance and music, that she liked to read and play chess, and that she had lived a very hard life since she was a child.

That night he received an anonymous letter, and he got on the horse without saying a word. The letter said that he would come alone, and he came alone. When he saw her tied up, probably only God knew how distressed he was.

Fortunately, she was fine.

Thankfully, she's fine.

Ning Yan was a little distracted, and when Bai Xi coughed heavily, he saw someone a few steps away.
