The next day, it was getting darker.

A horse-drawn carriage, with two lanterns hanging, walked slowly down the street.

Walking to a street near the palace, in front of a grand compound, the car stopped with a shout.

The coachman pulled the reins, Boss Xue jumped out of the carriage first, then opened the door, put down the stool, and Zhou Heng and Zhu Yunmo walked down separately.

Looking at the crowd at the door, Boss Xue tidied up his clothes, with a hint of nervousness on his face.

"Shizi and Childe, wait a minute, I'll go and hand over the post and gift list first."

Zhou Heng nodded, Pang Xiao went to Datong and never came back, Zhu Sanfu was busy with peach blossom drunk ordering in Beishan, and some of the guards went to Datong, and some went to Beishan.

The person who can be used in front of him is really Boss Xue.

Boss Xue took out two posts and a gift list from his arms, and walked quickly to the gate, there were many people queuing up in front of him, and after thinking about it, it was better to keep a low profile, after all, this is the Prince's Mansion.

After waiting for a while, it was finally Boss Xue's turn, and he was just about to hand over the post, when a small guy squeezed over and smashed the post in his hand directly into the hands of the porter.

"Prince Zhu Xiaochang of King Ning's Mansion has arrived, why don't you hurry up and arrange it first, the gift list and gifts are behind."

The concierge had a smile on his face, and hurriedly sent the people around him out and smiled at the little guy.

"This little brother has worked hard, please let the son in first, and I will lead you."

As he spoke, he quickly put the post away, and two servants went to receive the gifts and gift lists, and the other had already run to a carriage on the side of the road, leading a young man towards the gate.

Boss Xue was a little angry, although he didn't know who the kid in front of him was, but he still knew it when he heard the name, his master was not Zhu Yunmo's nephew, how could this be like this, could it be that in this capital, whoever is tough will be treated preferentially?

Boss Xue snapped, slammed the post and gift list on the table, and his face instantly darkened.

"What's the matter, watch people put food on the plate, right? It's all in line, why do you have to cut in line, if so, you don't have to queue. ”

The person in charge of registration hurriedly walked back and picked up the post on the table, but before the post was posted, the people in the queue behind him also complained.

He hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, isn't this the son of King Ning's Mansion here, please bear with me more, I will arrange it, I will arrange it." ”

As he spoke, he unfolded the post in his hand, and when he saw the words of King Ning's son, he shrank his neck in fright.

Then he hurriedly took a look at the one in the back, and sure enough, it was the new judge of the Tai Hospital, and this person suddenly had cold sweat on his back.

hurriedly walked out and waved towards Boss Xue, with a panicked look on his face.

"This eldest brother, you have to bear with me, I already knew that it was the prince of King Ning who came, so you don't have to come and queue up, look at this matter and let me do it, the little one is here to make amends to the eldest brother."

Boss Xue pouted, "Don't say that, Prince Ning understands the rules, and he doesn't want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be embarrassed, since everyone has to abide by the rules when they come to the banquet, if they are all unreasonable to cut in line, what do others think?" Don't explain to me, just register the gift list for me, and I'll ask the prince and the Zhou court to judge it. ”

Boss Xue's words were ruthless.

The people behind also listened to it very well, although they didn't say anything, they agreed with Boss Xue's words very much, and they all lined up for a special case like Zhu Xiaochang of Ning Wangfu, which was naturally despised.

The man wiped his sweat and hurriedly bowed towards Boss Xue.

"This eldest brother, can I personally lead the prince and the Zhou court to judge in?"

Boss Xue waved his hand, "The prince doesn't have so many requirements, just find someone to lead him in." ”

Saying that, walking towards the carriage, the man arranged a small servant, and walked quickly to the front, Zhu Yunmo and Zhou Heng looked at Boss Xue, they didn't pay attention to what was happening in front of the door just now, but they saw Boss Xue's face was not good.

"What's wrong?"

Boss Xue shook his head and glanced at Zhou Heng.

"It's nothing, I just got a serge, it's Zhu Xiaochang, the nephew of the prince."

Zhou Heng glanced at Zhu Yunmo and saw that Zhu Yunmo didn't react, so he waved his hand at Boss Xue.

"You guys go and take a break, remember to give the gifts, don't be angry."

Boss Xue nodded, the main owner was not angry, he followed what he was doing, quickly jumped into the car, took down the gift, and another guard sent the gift over.

Zhu Yunmo and Zhou Heng followed the little maid towards the door, as soon as they entered the gate, there were colorful lights everywhere, and the entire courtyard was very decorated.

The little guy enthusiastically lit the lantern and led the two into the main hall, which was already overcrowded, but most of them did not sit down, and stood in one place and chatted.

Zhu Yunmo stopped his pace and signaled that the little guy could retreat, it seemed that many people were like this, and the little guy didn't say anything else, and hurriedly bowed and retired.

Zhou Heng raised his eyes and looked around, needless to say, the hall was quite exquisitely arranged.

Some people in the middle gathered around, laughing and admiring from time to time, and occasionally a little guy ran and hung out with a pair of words.

Zhou Heng seemed to see Zhu Xiaochang's figure in a trance, and when he looked carefully, there was no trace.

Obviously, these literati have begun to show their talents, these are all stinky feet, Zhou Heng is too lazy to flatter, most of the reason why he came today is for the pot of gem trees, otherwise he really shirked it.

Looking at the verandah on both sides, two bonfires have been lit in the open space to make it easier for guests to chat, making this cold winter night very comfortable.

There was no acquaintance in the hall, and Zhou Heng looked at Zhu Yunmo.

"Go in first, or stand by the campfire for a while?"

Zhu Yunmo raised his hand towards the bonfire, sure enough, there were fewer people on the left, and there were people waiting for tea and fruit plates on the side, Zhou Heng felt good at first glance, a little interesting, and the two walked leisurely to the front.

The verandah was very clean, with tables and chairs, and a few people were already sitting there, Zhou Heng and Zhu Yunmo found a table and sat down, not far from the bonfire, and it was warm.

Drinking tea, Zhu Yunmo leaned his head over.

"I said, are you ready?"

Zhou Heng was stunned, quickly took away the tea cup on his lips, and looked at Zhu Yunmo in surprise.

"Prepare what?"

Zhu Yunmo was stunned, his eyes widened, and he stared at Zhou Heng.

"Didn't you prepare anything? Today is a poetry meeting, how can you get it without poetry, do you want me to make a fool of me? ”

As he spoke, he quickly stood up and prepared to walk outside.

Zhou Heng saw that Zhu Yunmo was in a hurry, so he quickly pulled his sleeve and comforted him with a smile:

"Why is the prince in a hurry, am I not teasing you, how can such an important banquet not be prepared?"

As he spoke, he patted his chest, took out a palm-sized note from it, and handed it to Zhu Yunmo.

"Take it, take it, don't be polite to me, just this poem, you can familiarize yourself with it, it's definitely enough tonight."

Zhu Yunmo was suspicious, took the note and read it, instantly a little surprised, looked at Zhou Heng suspiciously, glanced around, and said in a low voice.

"That's poetry, too?"

Zhou Heng raised his neck and nodded firmly.

"Of course, Zhou Heng has lied to you?"

Zhu Yunmo shook his head, "No." ”

"That's right, I haven't deceived the son of the world at all, so hurry up and memorize it."

Under Zhou Heng's urging, Zhu Yunmo read it several times and wrote it down, after all, it is easy to write it down with a small number of words.

At this moment, there was a conversation behind him.

"I heard that in this Taixue exam, Zhu Xiaochang from King Ning's Mansion is at the top of the list again."

Without looking back, Zhou Heng could also sense that this was those young people discussing, and when he heard Zhu Xiaochang's name, Zhou Heng couldn't help but prick up his ears.

"I saw that Zhu Gongzi was here just now, why don't we go over and say hello?"

A slightly older teenager shook his head and said:

"I think it's better to forget it, you didn't see it, they are all drawing congratulatory posts, this time is not good, by the way, you have to remember to meet and don't call Zhu Gongzi directly."

The man didn't seem to know why, but these people were his best friends, and he hurriedly agreed.

"But what do I call it?"

"Zhu Gongzi of King Ning's Mansion."

As he was talking, a group of people came out of the hall, and these teenagers quickly got up and saluted the visitors one by one.

Zhou Heng looked sideways, and the person who came was not someone else, it was Zhu Xiaochang and a few teenagers.

Zhu Xiaochang was talking to a burly man in a gorgeous costume, and the two of them pulled their sleeves and walked briskly towards the place where Zhou Heng was standing.

Zhou Heng raised his hand and patted Zhu Yunmo, and at this moment, the burly young man beside Zhu Xiaochang tripped over someone at his feet, and the whole person fell sideways towards the table, and he was about to touch the corner of the table in front of Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng was startled, he didn't have time to get up, and he couldn't reach it if he wanted to catch it, so he had no choice but to raise his hand and push it horizontally towards the young man's shoulder, and the young man fell directly to the side.

The table in the back also overturned, tea and fruit spilled on the ground, and the burly boy fell to the ground.

Tumbling twice, he smashed his ass on a few oranges, and the yellow juice burst in an instant, and the buttocks and the hem of his robe were all splashed with juice.

A teacup was squeezed out by his buttocks, flew up with a snap, fell and shattered again, and the people around him subconsciously took two steps back.

Zhu Yunmo didn't expect such a situation, so he quickly got up.

Before he could speak, a young man stood up, pointed at Zhou Heng's round eyes and roared:

"Bold, who dare to push the emperor's eldest grandson and arrest him without restraining his hands?"
