Chapter 62: The Late Arrival

The days have returned to normal, and I heard that Lin Xiao, the general of Zhenguo, will return to the court in a few days. This time, General Lin's great victory, swept away the rebels who had plagued the border for many years, and the emperor heard that Longyan was happy, and specially rushed back to the imperial city from Bihua Palace to welcome General Lin back to the court.

Nuan Jin is not interested in these things, as for that General Lin, he has only heard of it, but he has never seen it, it seems that he has always been guarding the border pass, and this time he returned with a great victory, there must be more glory.

And as for Cen Run? Nuan Jin never saw it again, maybe it was unintentional, maybe it was intentional, both of them tried to avoid it, and those who usually came to pass the word were changed to Bingwen, and when Nuan Jin went to ask the emperor and queen to say goodbye, they also tried to avoid Cen Run on duty.

Lou Xuanning and Tao Tao saw these subtle changes, but unfortunately no one dared to ask why.

During this period, Jin Xiangrong came a few times, and Nuan Jin was curious why he didn't go back to the fiefdom, he had been eating and drinking spicy food in the imperial city, and he wasted those grains in vain.

Whenever he talked about this, Jin Xiangrong had a hurt expression, complaining that the Nuan Jin family had a big business, and he had to be so careful about sharing his food.

Fortunately, Jin Xiangrong is interesting by nature, and with him, Nuan Jin can also forget his troubles for a short time.

After lunch on this day, Nuan Jin was accompanied by Tao Tao to take a walk in the Imperial Garden, and in September, although the weather was not as hot as before, it was still a little hot and dry when walking under the sun in the afternoon.

"Master, you said that the autumn tiger has not yet passed, and the emperor is in a hurry to return to the palace, is that General Lin really so important?" Tao Tao played a fan for the warm brocade while walking.

Nuan Jin shook his head: "I haven't seen that General Lin, but I heard my brother talk about it when I was in the study room before, saying that there have always been rebels harassing at the border, although there is no big war, but it is also disturbing the people's livelihood, so my father sent General Lin to quell the war, this is not a few days ago, 800 miles rushed to report, General Lin won a great victory, the rebels were defeated and retreated, and their deputy general was captured, it may be the end of the road, and finally handed over the surrender letter and returned to our Nanchen." ”

"Oh, then this General Lin is really capable."

"Those who can be named the general of Zhenguo are naturally not vegetarians-ah-" Nuan Jin's eyes flickered, only to feel that a stack of books rushed towards her, and before she could dodge, the stack of books smashed neatly towards her.

Tao Tao was shocked, and instantly pounced, protecting the warm brocade head, and the person who came was also shocked, and subconsciously shouted: "Ah! ”

"Master! Master! Are you alright? Tao Tao hurriedly swept away the scattered books, nervously checked Nuan Jin, and saw that she was fine, and immediately yelled at the reckless man: "Bold! Don't you have long eyes when you walk! If the princess has a mistake, you have a few heads! ”

The man also sat on the ground, as if he had also been knocked unconscious, and only came back to his senses when he heard Tao Tao roaring, and hurriedly knelt down to Nuan Jin: "Weichen is abrupt, please forgive the princess." ”

Nuan Jin was dizzy when he was hit, and finally helped up by Tao Tao: "Which palace are you from?" ”

The man lowered his head and couldn't see his appearance clearly, but looking at his clothes, he looked like an official in the court, and he didn't know how he came to the harem.

"Wechen is coming late, and he is on duty in the library pavilion."

Nuan Jin frowned slightly: "Library Pavilion? I haven't seen you before, what are you doing in the harem? ”

The rules of Nanchen Kingdom, unless the court officials are called, they are not allowed to come to the harem, there are the emperor's daughters-in-law and children living here, you have nothing to do with the family to hang out here, it is naturally not a system, you will be caught by the board, and it is not impossible to cut off the head in serious cases.

"Harem?" The late man was visibly stunned, and raised his head to look around.

Nuan Jin squinted his eyes and looked at it, his appearance was tight, he was a person he had never seen before, but his face was delicate, and it was comfortable to see.

"Why haven't I seen you before?"

Wanlin turned his head and looked at the warm brocade, his eyes were calm like water, without waves, neither nervous nor humble: "The slave is the Jinshi of this year's imperial examination." ”

"Oh?" Nuan Jin was interested, and only the top three of the Jinshi in the imperial examination could enter the palace as officials, "Then how many are you?" ”

"Weichen is not talented, only ranked third."

"It turned out to be Tanhua." Nuan Jin nodded, and didn't seem to be angry at all about the recklessness of the late arrival just now.

"Wechen offended the princess just now, and broke into the harem by mistake, Wechen will go to the emperor to receive the punishment." After speaking, he bowed and turned around to retreat.

"Wait a minute." Nuan Jin hurriedly called, and when he heard the words, he stopped, turned around and looked at Nuan Jin suspiciously.

"Is there anything else going on with the princess?"

Wanlin looked at Nuan Jin calmly, his face was not outstanding, at least in the surroundings of Nuan Jin, he could only be regarded as average, but his eyes were unusually good-looking, clear and calm, not a trace of impurities.

"This palace doesn't blame you, you don't have to go to my father to admit your mistakes, just be careful in the future, after all, it's the inner courtyard of the palace, and the concubines and princesses live there.

Wanlin seemed to be a little incomprehensible, tilted his head and thought for a while: "Is the princess selling favors?" ”

"Huh?"

"But Weichen has nothing to do for the princess, since he has committed something wrong, he should be punished, and if the rules are set, he can't break it."

Nuan Jin and Tao Tao looked at each other, and after making sure that he was not joking, Nuan Jin asked curiously: "You Tanhua...... How did you get in? ”

This time, it was Wanlin's turn to be puzzled, and he thought for a while: "Weichen first took the state exam, then entered the Ministry of Rites exam, and finally the palace exam. ”

Nuan Jin suddenly felt that his forehead swelled suddenly, and the evening tanhua in front of him, who didn't know the fireworks in the world, was indeed a complete nerd.

Tao Tao was angry: "Princess, let's not worry about him in general, a nerd, I don't know how to get into Tanhua, it's not good, it's still cheating." ”

As soon as Tao Tao said this, Wan Lin's expression immediately changed, and he raised his hand to Tao Tao: "You, how can you insult people like this, Weichen is dignified and upright to take the Tanhua exam, and has never cheated, you are so wronged, but you have committed the crime of lying to you, but the harem maid should be punished by her master, princess, you should now let the people of the Punishment Department pull her down and beat the board, according to the palace rules, it should be thirty boards." ”

Tao Tao was so angry that his face turned red, and he said angrily: "You, a little Jiupin sesame official who takes care of the books, dare to instruct Princess Yan to do this and that in the harem!" If you talk about guilt, tell me which of us is the most serious! ”

Nuan Jin looked at these two of you coming and going, only to feel a headache, this night is not big, and he is not famous in the palace, but people are very interesting, some serious, and some old-fashioned, I think about it, it is because I don't know how to be sophisticated, and I don't know which powerful person I offended, so I was sent to see the collection.

Tao Tao thought that he would reply when he came later, but when he saw him, he was stunned and looked at Nuan Jin curiously.

Nuan Jin was chilled by him, and just wanted to say something, he heard Wanlin ask, "You are the princess?" ”

Nuan Jin was stunned: "Otherwise?" ”

"Are you good with the Grand Administrator? Going out with him? ”

Mentioning the person's name without warning made Nuan Jin and Tao Tao stunned, they glanced at each other and did not speak.

Fortunately, Wanlin didn't care, and continued: "He is a bad person, and the princess wants to stay away from him. ”
