The white dew of the early morning soaked the purple-clothed official robes inlaid with gold and jade.

At dawn, the Dali Temple lost its usual ascending murderous aura.

If you don't pay attention to the two legendary "human skin drums" in front of the Dali Temple, you can only look at the faint clouds that gradually rise in the sky, or red or purple, and then slowly gild with gold edges, half bright and half extinguished.

It's really a quiet and peaceful scene.

With a "creak", the vermilion lacquer gate guarded by the two "human skin drums" babbled open.

The purple-clothed nobleman on the stone steps in front of the door, holding an official document in his hand, turned around abruptly, his hands still behind his back, and strode in.

After a while, the young man in purple brought out an old man with a ragged face like a vegetable from inside.

The old man had a scruffy beard, and his hair was unkempt, like a bird's nest, with a few wisps of dry thatch from the prison cover.

The placket is not very neat, and the whole body is dirty and messy, and when you get close, you can smell a sour smell.

In the early morning of mid-spring, the wind is slightly cool.

The old man, dressed in a ragged prison uniform, was blown by the wind, and couldn't help but shake his body.

You Zining, who was hiding in the carriage at the corner of the street, couldn't hold back any longer, her heart ached, tears came out of her eyes, and she shouted

"Daddy, what happened to you, Daddy?"

When the old man heard this, his bare feet involuntarily retracted two steps, as if trying to retract his feet into his shirt so that she could not catch a glimpse of the huge blood blisters on his ankles that had been sharpened by the shackles.

But I forgot that there was no way to hide it under the ragged prison uniform and empty trousers. In this way, it is necessary to cover up.

You Zining watched as his father was approaching where he was step by step.

The red blood blisters on his feet and neck had broken skin, bleeding, and suppurated, and some had even scabbed over and been worn open again.

Her heart ached beyond measure, and she became even more indignant, crying bitterly

"Your Royal Highness, didn't you say that the most dangerous place is the safest, haven't they all already found someone to explain, and they want to help take care of it. Why, it's still like this, I'm going to fight with them."

"Alas, I won't spare these turtle grandchildren, I will not spare them, dare to touch our father who is the champion of our current department, and I will make them look good when they turn around"

Lu Chengfeng looked at the scarred Father You, and his heart was also dumbfounded, seeing You Zining so excited, he counted down, wanting to comfort her.

"Uncle, please be careful

A little bit."

Lu Chengfeng eagerly took care of the saddle before and after the horse, carefully smiling at the face.

"Sinners dare not be, dare not be this nobleman"

As soon as Father You heard that this noble son with extraordinary brocade clothes and jade belts actually called himself "uncle", he immediately knelt on the ground and hurriedly saluted, looking like "tormenting me".

"In the next name, call the road and ride the wind, uncle, hurry up and invite me and the champion of the current department, it can be regarded as an old acquaintance, they are all their own people, uncle does not have to be polite"

Lu Chengfeng squatted quickly, hurriedly helped Father You up, and smiled.

"The nobles of the Lu family are royal."

As soon as Father You heard Lu's name, his kneecaps couldn't stop kneeling on the ground.

Lu Chengfeng held it with both hands, and with another force, he simply sent him high on You Zining's carriage.

He explained with a smile while pushing the force

"Uncle, don't panic. Riding the wind on the lower road, it is a loyal fan of your young lady. As long as Miss You has something to ask for, she can't ask for anything in the next place."

When Lu Chengfeng mentioned the words Miss Youjia, he deliberately lowered his voice, and glanced at the figure of the Yi man in the carriage quickly.

Between the flow of eye waves, the eyes are full of light pouring out, the bright stream and the dark surge, the tenderness turns a thousand times, like the endless Jiuqu River.

You Zining, who was sitting in the middle of the carriage, was only glanced at by him, and it was like a fire being ignited, and in an instant, his face was flushed, as if he had drunk eight hundred altars of Taibai Immortal just now.

"This"

Father You saw through the hearts of the two young people's children at a glance, saw through it without saying anything, and quickly suppressed the words in his throat when he just wanted to ask what was going on.

He glanced back at his daughter. There were three points of surprise in his eyes, three points of disbelief, and four points of interrogation and hesitation from his old father.

Seeing that the woman kept her head down and was shy, she didn't dare to look up at herself, so she knew everything even more.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, the grass people are not wrong, I don't know where Your Highness is, if the nobles in the mansion are not disgusted, the sinner is willing to come to the door to thank you, thank you, Your Highness, for helping me to relieve the crisis"

Father You just sat down in the car, and there was not much space in the car, so it was inconvenient for him to kneel, so he had to hug his fists, talk about respect, and say with gratitude.

"The crown king Xifu welcomes his uncle's arrival. Also, Miss You, a warm welcome, and a long-cherished one. ”

Lu Chengfeng bowed back and said solemnly, but his eyes still couldn't help but look at You Zining's face.

Father You nodded, and it was another fist hugging do

"Your Royal Highness, the grass people, take your daughter to say goodbye first"

"Well, okay. By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, the new champion."

Lu Chengfeng looked at the shy smile and smiled.

You Zining finally raised her head, just in time to touch the gentle gaze of the road rider, and her cheeks, which had finally calmed down, suddenly flew up to the red clouds again, and she didn't answer, just nodded gently.

"Uncle, don't you know yet, your child is now the new champion of Yonghe for 30 years, and the emperor has given him the official of the sixth grade, and in a few days, he will go to the post of editor of the Hanlin Academy.

Lu Chengfeng looked around, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

The place where the carriage stopped was a secluded corner that he had deliberately chosen, and it was inconspicuous. In the early morning, there are not many people passing through the streets. Only then did he dare to congratulate.

"What is the new champion, but our Zining is obviously a daughter's family"

Father You was surprised and delighted, with a look of disbelief.

His face was cloudy and sunny, like clouds rising and falling in the spring.

It is said that as parents, they all hope that their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes. No parent has ever wanted their children to be glorious

But today, his daughter is taking the lead in the imperial examination and becoming the champion, and he is full of joy, but mixed with more worries and worries.

After reacting, he was even more remorseful, turned his face to his daughter, and asked

"Zining, to be honest, it's not for you to save your father that you are willing to risk the world's condemnation to do such a risky and forbidden thing."

You Zining said ashamedly

"Dad, my daughter knows it's wrong"

"Who said that women are not as good as the male Miss You is a sincere and filial piety, touching the heavens and the earth, uncle, please don't be too harsh with her, besides, the talent and learning of the champion of this department are unparalleled in the world, and the emperor is full of praise for him, she is the champion, and she deserves it."

Lu Chengfeng hurriedly helped explain, but he also felt that it was very dangerous, frowned, and asked

"However, Zining, the officialdom is dangerous, everything is just beginning. Uncle also thinks about it, if one day, your true identity is revealed, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe, so please tell me how you got into the scientific examination."
