Sihan knew it in his heart, so he set his eyes on the two top two in the imperial examination who were slightly nervous in the hall, and said slowly: "The two of them are profound in literature and ink, and their opinions can be achieved. Yes, Liu Huan, the champion of the imperial examination, this palace named you as the Qing Officials Division under the command of the Ministry of Officials, I hope you are an official, serve the people, if you have merit, you will be promoted and rewarded. ”

The slightly chubby man suddenly bent down and bowed, and said with a little excitement: "Thank you, eldest princess." ”

Sihan nodded, moved his gaze, and then looked at the slightly short man, "The imperial examination list is the king of the eye, this palace has named you as the Ministry of Industry's capital water and clear officials, I hope you are also good at life, if it is effective, this palace will never treat you badly." ”

"Thank you, eldest princess." The short man was so excited that his voice trembled slightly.

"What about me?" At this moment, the delicate man seemed to be a little unable to sit still, staring at his eyes, his two thick eyebrows were extremely abrupt and funny, and the tone of his blurt was slightly arrogant and anxious, but his voice was slightly sharp, which was really too different from a man's thick voice.

"Female?" It's probably because I've been in Fireworks Willow Lane too many times before, and I've had too much contact with women, so as soon as the pretty person's voice came out, Qingshan's face was stunned, and he subconsciously spoke up.

Instantly, the people present were stunned.

The delicate man frowned, immediately turned his head to look at Qingshan, and said viciously: "This prince is also a courtier of Tanglin, how can he call a big man a woman so rudely and immorally?" Such slanderous and contemptuous words, once they come out, shouldn't they make people laugh and be generous? ”

Qingshan was suddenly choked by this speech, but Qingshan is not a soft persimmon after all, and now although he has restrained his temperament, the arrogance and squeamishness in his bones have not really disappeared.

Yes, in just a moment, Qingshan had already reacted, his thin lips opened, and he was about to speak, but before he could blurt out the words in his mouth, the delicate man's eyes widened, and he crackled again: "What, you still want to refute, and you still want to scold me?" Although I have no official position or position, I can still sit upright. Is it a good thing for a person like you, who is full of spouting mouth, and who slanders the personality of others at will? Look at your eyes are yellow, your face is full of softness, and the resoluteness of a man is completely absent in you, and you still say that I am a woman, and I think you are a real woman? Why don't you speak? Didn't I say it? How rare are you a castrated person? Oh, yes, there are eunuchs in Tanglin, I heard that they are not men or women, but you are also a eunuch? ”

dignified and gentlemanly, he was pointed at his nose and scolded as a eunuch.

When Qingshan suffered such bullying, it was in front of Situ Lingyan and other invincible people that day, he could resist a few words, but now, without saying a word, he was actually slandered by someone.

He was so angry that his face was flushed, and he couldn't say anything that was choking in his throat.

But at this time, the delicate man finally stopped paying attention to him, but raised his eyes to look at Sihan, his side was straight, his lips moved, and he only said: "I am Xueman, the Tanhua of this Tanglin Imperial Examination." I heard that as long as you enter the top three in the imperial examination, you can become an official. Yes, I want to be an official. ”

The corners of the ministers' eyes twitched, they have been officials for decades, and they have really never seen such a brazen or even arrogant person.

Remembering the two rows of ink characters written by this person when answering the question, for a while, the ridicule and consternation in his heart were suddenly restrained.

Sihan's expression moved slightly, looked at her indifferently, and was silent for a moment before he said in a low voice: "The top three in the imperial examination are naturally very likely to enter the court as an official, but you still need to pass the palace examination." And the answer to your palace exam is too special, because the palace and the ministers in the court have to be consulted. ”

The delicate man was stunned for a moment, "What does this mean?" ”

Sihan's expression was slightly picky, but he didn't speak.

Zhan Wenyi came to his senses and said calmly: "It means that you need to wait a little longer, and after I have discussed it with the eldest princess, we will decide whether to let you enter the court as an official." ”

"How long will that take?"

Zhan Wenyi said slowly: "Maybe it's a few days." ”

The delicate man didn't react much, and said proudly: "That's okay." What I just wrote is something I'm 70% sure of. If you Tanglin people are smart, you should make good use of it. ”

"Your proposal is really special, and this palace will make good use of it. But as for your official affairs, you have to wait for the notice. ”

It was only a moment, Sihan also spoke indifferently, as soon as these words fell, he gathered his mind, turned his eyes to the eunuch beside him, and then got up and retreated.

For a while, the ministers sent it off.

After Sihan came out of the Diligent Government Palace, Zhan Wenyi slowly followed.

Sihan's eyes were distant, and he didn't look back and said: "Presumably, the imperial master also saw the clues of the imperial examination, right?" ”

Zhan Wenyi said slowly: "Hmm." That night in the East Lake fighting, Wei Chen remembered clearly the woman who dressed up as a foreigner. Now this snow barbarian man, although his appearance is slightly disguised, the eyes and nose can't be wrong. Yesterday, after Weichen saw the top three in the imperial examination, he already recognized her, but he didn't want to startle the snake, so he also took advantage of the situation to lead her into the palace and let the eldest princess take a look. ”

Sihan said lightly: "The emperor's move is certainly good. But now, don't startle her. When the palace waits for a while, he will send Jingwei to guard her secretly, trying to find out her identity and the purpose of coming to Beijing. After all, a woman who can casually say Dayang, and even unabashedly say that she is seventy percent sure of winning Dayang, is not an idle person. ”

"Xu is just that woman's nonsense, in order to enter my Tanglin as an official." Zhan Wenyi was silent for a moment and said calmly.

Sihan shook her head, "I'm a woman of a different race, and it's not necessarily that I know about Dayang. Moreover, in this matter, I would rather believe that it has than believe that it does not, after all, if there is really a way to take Dayang, I Dongling, why worry about not being defeated by Tanglin and Dachu, and why worry, the prosperity of the world is peaceful. ”

As soon as these words fell, he didn't say anything anymore, Zhan Wenyi responded in a low voice, and then didn't say anything more, just seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that the eldest princess went out of the palace with the regent yesterday?" ”

Sihan's expression moved slightly, and his gaze gradually became half a little farther away, and then he said in a low voice: "Hmm." ”

The word was short, a little cold, and as soon as the end of the note fell, she changed her words and continued: "The emperor came with this time, just to talk to the palace about the foreign woman? ”

Zhan Wenyi said slowly: "Speaking about the foreign woman, it is one of them. Second, because Weichen hasn't seen the emperor in the past few days, he should visit him no matter what today. ”

Sihan's face changed slightly, and he once again remembered the aggrieved and disappointed appearance of his younger brother last night, and for a while, his heart was also slightly irritable.

She didn't speak immediately, her steps quickened slightly by half a moment, and after a while, she finally gathered her mind and said in a low and distant voice: "Your Majesty, there is more trouble for the emperor." Moreover, regarding the powerful relationship between Concubine Shu and Zheqian, I also hope that the emperor will bring it to the emperor and mention it euphemistically. Compensation"

Zhan Wenyi said slowly: "The emperor still has a gap in his heart with the eldest princess because of the matter between the concubine and the third prince? ”

Interval?

These two words are in the ear, and they are cold for no reason.

Sihan's pupils shrank, and he said in a low voice: "It's not just a gap." The emperor is more alienated from the palace than Concubine Shu and Zheqian after all. ”

"The eldest princess has been living in the mountains all these years, and the emperor has never met the eldest princess since she was born. It's just that the emperor and the eldest princess are brothers and sisters after all, and blood is thicker than water, and the emperor is also clear about this. If not, the emperor would not be extremely dependent on the eldest princess. ”

Sihan sighed in a low voice, "Why should the emperor speak for the emperor." What is the emperor's attitude towards this palace, how can this palace not know. It's just that he rarely has contact with him when he is young, which is indeed a shortcoming, but now the emperor is smart and sensible, and some things have his own stubbornness and considerations. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhan Wenyi did not speak, and the footsteps were smooth and appropriate, and there was nothing unusual.

Sihan waited for a while, then turned his eyes to look at him, and when his eyes met his warm and peaceful eyes, he heard that he said helplessly: "The eldest princess really values and spoils the emperor too much. At this age, the emperor should be good at teaching, and you, the eldest princess, don't have to be too obedient and helpless to the emperor, lest you get angry. According to what Weichen saw, there are some things that should be said, the eldest princess does not need to take too much into account of the emperor's feelings, after all, the emperor is still young, and there are some things that he can't see too clearly, and he acts emotionally and is easy to be confused. Presumably, if the emperor is older, he will be able to understand the painstaking efforts of the eldest princess. ”

Sihan turned around, naturally avoiding his warm and distant eyes.

After waiting for a while, he said in a low voice: "Blood is thicker than water." Some mean and harsh words, this palace, after all, it is inconvenient to talk to the emperor. The emperor lost his parents at a young age, and the palace was self-satisfied to let him live a good life, happy and worry-free, and even had to pave all the splendid futures for him, and the country was good. These are just the purpose of this palace's life. ”

As soon as these words fell, they said no more.

Zhan Wenyi was also silent again, leaving the sound of footsteps to follow slowly, without saying anything more.

Sihan's eyes were full of weight, and his face was cold.

When he reached the fork in the road, Zhan Wenyi said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen will try to assist and teach as much as possible. I also hope that the eldest princess will take care of herself, and don't worry too much about the emperor's affairs. ”

Sihan subconsciously stopped, turned his eyes to look at him, "This palace knows." As he spoke, his expression moved slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Thank you." ”

As soon as these words fell, he said no more, and walked towards the imperial study.

Behind him, there was no sound, and there was no movement, and when Sihan walked a little far, he looked back, and saw Zhan Wenyi, who was covered in official robes, still standing in place, looking at her from afar.

The strangeness and irritability in my heart rose slightly, and when I looked back, my thoughts flipped over, and all those irritability feelings turned into layers of sighs.

Zhan Wenyi is indeed gentle and elegant, and his character is extremely good. It's a pity that it is affectionate and heavy, and it is difficult to bear.

If she hadn't experienced a catastrophe in Dongling, or if she Yan Sihan hadn't been emotionally involved in the deep mountains of Dongfang, presumably she Yan Sihan was still a golden branch and jade leaf who was trained by the national teacher to learn about the etiquette of reading and etiquette, and a gentle and elegant person like Zhan Wenyi was also in her eyes.

It's a pity that there will never be ifs and ifs in this world.

Thoughts flipped, deep in the heart, noisy ups and downs, swaying and rising, can't be suppressed.

After staying for a long time, Sihan came back to his senses, looked at Shan Zhongze, who was standing on the side and had never spoken, and said in a low voice: "This year's imperial examination is a flower, you sent someone to follow her and investigate her." Don't startle the snake. This palace wants to know her true identity and the purpose of coming to Beijing. ”

Shan Zhongze's expression moved slightly, and he nodded respectfully, "My subordinates will send someone to do it later." ”

"Hmm." Sihan replied in a low voice, no longer spoken, and continued to step forward, and after entering the imperial study, he began to collect his mind and review the folds.

It's a little late, and the twists and turns on the royal table are still piling up.

Sihan buried his head in reading, and before he knew it, noon had passed.

It was probably too late, and after a while, Shan Zhongze outside the hall couldn't help but whisper, "Eldest princess, it's past noon, do you want to pass the meal?" ”

Sihan came back to his senses, was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "No need. ”

As soon as these words fell, there was no sound outside the temple.

Sihan didn't say anything more, and continued to review the folds.

The hours gradually faded, and the atmosphere in the hall was also silent and heavy, and it was unreasonably depressing.

After staying for a long time, the mountains of twists and turns have all been reviewed.

Sihan came back to his senses, raised his slender fingertips slightly, rubbed his slightly swollen head, and when he raised his eyes again and looked out of the carved window not far away, he saw that the sky outside the hall was already red wisps, and the light and shadow were red.

Unexpectedly, it was almost dusk.

Sihan was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect it to be so late at this time, and after a while, she forcibly pressed the soreness all over her body, got up and stood, and then slowly walked towards the palace gate not far away.

When I reached out and opened the door of the temple, for a while, a breeze came to my face, and it was not too hot.

Probably hearing the sound, Shan Zhongze and the palace slaves outside the hall turned their eyes to look at each other, and then their expressions moved slightly, and they immediately bowed to Sihan, and called respectfully, "Eldest princess." ”

Sihan glanced at them, his face was distant, and then he turned around without saying a word.

Behind him, the footsteps of Shan Zhongze and the palace slaves followed, not fast or slow, but slightly cautious and cautious.

Along the way, Sihan was full of distant eyes, and did not speak, and when he arrived at the gate of Fengqi Palace, Shan Zhongze frowned, hesitated for a moment, and asked again resolutely and respectfully: "The eldest princess has not eaten for a day today, can her subordinates send someone to pass dinner at this time?" ”

Sihan stopped, did not speak, his eyes were far away and silent, and his heart was slightly fluctuating.

After Wuzi was silent for a moment, she calmed her mind and said in a low voice: "When I sent someone into the regent's palace, I said that the palace would take the girl Yue'er into the palace." Moreover, inform the emperor that the emperor will come to Fengqi Palace for dinner tonight. ”

Shan Zhongze was slightly stunned, and his face suddenly increased a little complicated.

On the way back to Beijing from Qingzhou in the past, he did see the girl who dared to call the eldest princess her mother.

At this point, Shan Zhongze frowned, and said resolutely: "Although that girl is not the regent's own daughter, she is also the regent's adopted daughter, and she is the county lord of the regent's palace. If the eldest princess takes her into the palace, and the emperor knows that the girl calls the eldest princess her mother, the emperor will be displeased. After all, the emperor has always disliked the regent, and the eldest princess has eased the relationship with the emperor a little, and I hope the eldest princess will think twice. ”

Sihan said lightly: "The girl Yue'er, with a bleak background, is also my Dongling people. This palace has always been sitting upright, if the emperor has an opinion on the palace because of this, or is extremely resistant to the girl Yue'er, and has no stomach, so, the emperor is narrow-minded and reckless, and he will really disappoint the palace. At that time, the palace will also consider whether to send the emperor to the road and let the national teacher train him. ”

As soon as these words fell, he said no more, turned around and pushed open the door of the temple and went straight in.

Shan Zhongze's eyes were full of complexity, his thick eyebrows were furrowed very much, and after staring at Sihan's back for a moment, he secretly sighed, and finally turned to leave.

Inside the hall, the atmosphere is quiet and quiet.

Sihan sat on the soft couch, already past the point of hunger, and for a while, his body bones were not abnormal except for a little tired and sour.

When the sky became darker and darker, the palace and the outside of the palace were lit by the palace slaves early, and for a while, the lights were swaying, as bright as day, and the young emperor who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe came with Mama Zhou.

"Sister." The respectful voice is immature and polite, but it is not as joyful as it was at the beginning, and the voice is intimate.

Sihan responded to the voice, subconsciously followed the voice, and saw his young emperor's dragon robe, slightly majestic, and his hair was also meticulously tied high, the whole person, immature and straight, although it seems to be slightly majestic and mature, but more importantly, it lacks the initial agility and brilliance.

Once upon a time, the young emperor of her own family became so polite in front of her, but it was precisely because of her politeness that she was alienated and indifferent.

She also remembered that every time she went to her young emperor's dormitory, her young emperor would rush towards her with a miserable smile on his face, holding her hand and pinching her dress.

His thoughts were churning, and for a while, his eyes fell on the young emperor, and he was slightly distracted.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Probably seeing that Sihan had been watching him quietly, the young emperor was a little nervous, and after standing in front of Sihan, he asked cautiously.

Only then did Sihan come back to his senses, forcibly pressed his heart, slowed down his gaze, and only said, "Sister didn't do much." It's just that I suddenly realized that Wei'er seems to have grown a little taller. ”

As soon as these words fell, the young emperor was stunned.

Mama Zhou on the side said slowly: "The emperor is growing up, and within a month, he has indeed grown taller." ”

Si Han nodded at Mama Zhou calmly, then moved his fingertips slightly, shook the hand of his young emperor and led him to sit beside him.

The young emperor seemed to be slightly resistant, and after sitting down beside Si Han, his little fingers quickly broke away from Si Han's hand like a nimble snake, and then asked timidly: "Why did Sister suddenly let Wei'er come to Fengqi Palace for dinner?" In the past, when Sister Ah wanted to accompany Wei'er, she always asked Wei'er's bedroom to accompany Wei'er for dinner. ”

Sihan's expression moved slightly, and he only said that his young emperor was extremely sensitive.

It's just that letting him come over for a meal will make him feel strange and weird.
