As he spoke, he raised his eyes and saw Sihan's pupils fluctuating and shocked, he hooked his lips and smiled, and said jokingly: "Weichen is just a gesture." When encountering some cats and dogs every day, Weichen will also come to the rescue. ”

"Why?" Sihan asked in a low voice.

If you add the time on the Qingzhou River, this Lan Yeyu saved her alive twice.

"Why did the regent rescue the palace several times? Or, as the ghost said, do you have a secret? Or, what do you want to achieve by saving Hongu? You and this palace are both clear-eyed people, and some words will be completely opened. Sihan couldn't help but speak again.

Lan Yeyu's eyes were far away, and he looked at her calmly, and waited for a moment before he said calmly: "It has nothing to do with the purpose." It's just random and unintentional. ”

As soon as these words fell, he lowered his eyes and said no more.

Sihan looked at him with complicated eyes, and he wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't say anything again after all.

Since Lan Yeyu didn't say it, no matter how she asked, it was fruitless.

Thoughts are churning and noisy.

Throughout the journey back to Beijing, the atmosphere was silent and depressing.

When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, in the silent atmosphere, Lan Yeyu finally spoke, "Today's car is tired, Weichen wants to go back to the palace first, yes, he won't send the eldest princess back to the palace." ”

Sihan looked at him complicatedly.

He smiled peacefully and uneventfully.

Sihan frowned, and did not delay, glanced at him a few times and then moved herself to get out of the car, and when Lan Yeyu's carriage turned around and walked away, she slowly turned around and entered the palace gate, but when she just arrived at Fengqi Palace, she heard that the young emperor sent someone to come and invite her to come over for dinner.

The corners of Sihan's eyes were raised, and his eyes were deep.

The Young Emperor took the initiative to invite her to dinner, which was exactly what Lan Yeyu guessed today.

For a while, the bottom of his heart sank more and more, and then after changing his dress slightly in the Fengqi Palace, he began to go towards the young emperor's bedroom.

When he arrived at the young emperor's dormitory, the young emperor was sitting on the round table in the hall, and the dishes were already on the table, steaming, but he did not move his chopsticks.

Probably heard the footsteps, he subconsciously turned his eyes to look, and saw that Sihan had already entered the hall and walked slowly towards him, he frowned, pursed his lips, and seemed to be secretly entangled and hesitated, after finally getting off the stool, and then standing upright beside the stool, he called to Sihan: "Sister." ”

The immature voice was a little nervous, but it was not as irritable and irritated as when he first woke up today.

Sihan stared at him deeply, and did not speak, but after sitting down on the round stool next to him, he said calmly: "Wei'er should also sit." ”

The young emperor nodded respectfully, sat stiffly, hesitated, but didn't know what to say.

Sihan sighed secretly and said in a low voice: "Wei'er still hates Sister now?" ”

As soon as these words fell, the young emperor frowned and did not speak.

Sihan's pupils were slightly distant, and the helplessness in her heart became more and more intense, and after a while, she forcibly pressed her heart and said, "Wei'er still hates Sister A?" ”

This time, he shook his head slightly, a little difficult, his face was a little nervous, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally said out: "Wei'er doesn't hate Sister A." ”

Is it?

Sihan's expression moved slightly, and he looked at him quietly.

The young emperor of his own family was obviously frowning, his face was smiling and regretless, and the whole person was a little hesitant and heavy, as if he was holding back his words in his heart, and he had never completely relaxed, nor did he have the slightest immature and bright appearance. In this way, he really doesn't blame her?

Thinking of this, Sihan didn't believe it, and the gaze that fell on his young emperor's face deepened slightly.

But at this moment, the young emperor's lips opened, and his immature voice rose again, "Sister, Wei'er knows that Sister Wei'er is doing Wei'er's good." It's just that the Three Emperor Brothers and Concubine Shu are not thin on Wei'er, and now that Concubine Shu has passed away, Sister Ah asked the Three Emperor Brothers to come back and take a look, okay? ”

The immature voice, hesitating and pleading, but these words entered the ears, but they were cold for no reason.

Sihan's heart sank, and his face sank uncontrollably.

After a while, she asked in a low voice, "Why is Wei'er so persistent in the matter of Concubine Shu and Zheqian?" Pick-up"

He said immaturely and nervously: "Concubine Shu is good to Wei'er, and the third emperor brother is good to Wei'er." ”

Sihan's face was silent, and his eyes fluctuated. After being silent for a long time, he said in a low voice: "If you want your third emperor brother to return, you can naturally, but Wei'er has to wait a little." After all, now your third emperor brother is the general of the border pass, and the safety of Tanglin is at stake, and you must not leave at will. After your third emperor brother has made military merits, Sister will take him back to Beijing with infinite scenery. Compensation"

After speaking, seeing that the young emperor frowned, and was about to speak again, Sihan's voice was slightly raised, and he changed the topic, "The dishes on the table must be eaten while they are hot." Wei'er hasn't had a good meal in the past few days, and at this time, Sister Ah accompanied Wei'er to eat together. The rest of the things, Wei'er doesn't need to think about it, when you grow up and mature, you can be on your own, at that time, the Tanglin Imperial Power, and even those that should belong to you, Sister, will be handed over to you. ”

The young emperor's brows furrowed violently, as if he had never listened to her words too much.

Sihan's expression was complicated, he swept his eyes, and finally didn't say anything more, just held the chopsticks in one hand, and took the young emperor's rice bowl with the other, and then began to carefully prepare the young emperor's bowl.

When everything was finished, she lowered her eyes, pushed the rice bowl in front of the young emperor, and said slowly: "Let's eat first." ”

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

The young emperor was silent for a moment, and then responded slightly aggrieved and disappointed.

During the whole dining process, the atmosphere was silent, and in the hall, the candles were flickering, and the lights and shadows were building.

Because of the things floating in his heart, it was to eat like this, and Sihan didn't eat much.

After a long time, seeing that the young emperor put the chopsticks, Sihan also loosened the chopsticks on his fingertips, and then his expression moved slightly, and he asked gently: "Tomorrow morning, Wei'er is going to go?" ”

As soon as these words fell, his eyes quietly looked at the young emperor.

The young emperor was still frowning, his immature little face was curled with a little resistance that could not be concealed, and then he bit his lips and teeth and did not speak.

Sihan sighed secretly, knowing it in his heart.

Then he looked away a little and said in a low voice: "If Wei'er hasn't rested enough, tomorrow's morning, Wei'er can not go." ”

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to look at the dark night at the carved window not far away, and without waiting for the young emperor's hesitant and contradictory reply, Sihan's eyes were full of coldness, and he continued: "It's not early at night, and Sister will go back to Fengqi Palace." Tonight, Wei'er also rested earlier. ”

"Congratulations to the imperial sister."

The young emperor replied a little quickly this time, but his immature voice was still a little complicated and disappointed.

"Hmm." Sihan responded lightly, no longer delayed, and after getting up, she slowly walked towards the door not far away, but after stepping out of the door, before Mama Zhou completely closed the door of the palace, she subconsciously looked back, and saw that in the gap between the narrower and narrower palace doors, the young emperor of his own family sat at the round table, frowning, full of grievances and disappointment.

In an instant, the bottom of my heart was half heavy for no reason, and there was a faint pain in the coldness.

At this time, Mama Zhou had closed the door of the palace in full, and seeing Sihan standing still, she hesitated for a moment, and said respectfully: "Today's emperor is in a much better mood than a few days ago, and he has also taken the initiative to eat, so the eldest princess doesn't have to worry." ”

Sihan's expression moved slightly and he sighed.

Where is she worried about her own young emperor, but she is helpless that her young emperor is too stubborn.

Concubine Shu killed herself, although it was suicide, but presumably in this world, no one can believe that a fierce person like her would commit suicide, yes, no matter what, she Yan Sihan can't explain it clearly, after all, her Yan Sihan's rejection of Concubine Shu is known to the world, and now that Concubine Shu is dead, she Yan Sihan has become the number one suspect.

It's no wonder that my younger brother doesn't believe her, it's just that she has a weak relationship, and she hasn't really cultivated her since she was a child.

At this point, the pain and helplessness in my heart became more and more obvious.

Probably sensing that she was wrong, Mama Zhou's expression changed slightly, and she asked worriedly, "Eldest princess, what's wrong with you?" ”

Sihan suddenly came back to his senses, forcibly pressed his mind, stood up straight, and said, "There is nothing wrong in this palace." The emperor is here, so he hopes that Mama Zhou will bother more. If the emperor has anything, you can send someone to inform the palace at any time. ”

"The old slave knows."

"Hmm." Sihan didn't say anything more, responded lightly, and then turned around and left.

The night was silent and the lights were flickering.

The sky was pitch black, and there were no stars.

The oncoming night breeze was also cold for no reason, Sihan couldn't help but tuck her dress, and her steps sped up a little.

When I returned to Fengqi Palace, after washing up at will, I went to sleep on the couch, but when I thought of the young emperor, it was difficult to calm down in my heart for a long time.

At dawn, Sihan had already gotten up.

Xu is eye circles are really dark, but it makes the palace slave shocked.

After washing and grooming, it is already dawn, and the morning is approaching.

After Sihan hastily had breakfast, he got up and went out again, and walked quickly towards the Qinzheng Palace.

At this time, in the Qinzheng Palace, except for Lan Yeyu, the rest of the ministers came.

After entering the hall, Sihan glanced at the empty dragon chair above the main seat, and deep in his heart, he was also cold and undulating, and he was indescribably disappointed.

Because of the dark circles under her eyes, the fat powder could not be fully covered, and she looked weird, so after sitting on the phoenix couch, most of the ministers looked at her carefully in amazement.

Sihan didn't seem to be aware of it, and began to deal with the court as usual, and for some reason, today's ministers were radiant and energetic, and they became slightly more active when the court played.

Sihan listened carefully one by one, carefully understood, and unconsciously, the hours had passed for a long time, and the sun was three poles.

After the court discussion was over, Sihan was about to signal the eunuch beside him to announce his retreat from the court, but unexpectedly, Zhan Wenyi took a step forward and said respectfully and gently: "Eldest princess, the top three in the imperial examination, Weichen has been arranged to wait outside the palace, I don't know at this time, can you declare the top three in the imperial examination to enter the palace and take the test?" ”

Sihan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this Zhan Wenyi to act so quickly, and he had already arranged for the top three in the imperial examination to go outside the Qinzheng Palace.

Her eyes moved slightly, and she was silent for a moment before she sat up slightly and said, "Xuan." ”

Zhan Wenyi nodded respectfully, and without delay, immediately announced the entry of the three imperial examination people into the hall.

In an instant, outside the majestic temple gate not far away, three people suddenly ushered in.

Those three people were all dressed in scholar's clothes, and they were dressed beautifully, and there was nothing wrong with following suit.

It's just that when the three of them approached, Sihan looked carefully at the faces of the three people, and in an instant, when his eyes met a slightly delicate and weird face, in an instant, his heart trembled violently, and his pupils shrank uncontrollably.

The three of them, one of whom was slightly chubby, looked honest and sincere, and was undoubtedly a scholar; One is thin and short, with a nervous face; One person, tall and slender, willow branch waist, eyes smart and delicate, slightly, mixed with a little excitement and arrogance, and then look at his two extraordinarily thick eyebrows, look carefully, it is very easy to find that it is deliberately redrawn eyebrows, drawn, and then look at his lips, soft and small, the bridge of the nose is also small and delicate, and the complexion is really fair, and the two scholars beside him are in stark contrast.

Sihan forcibly pressed his heart, the corners of his eyes were raised, and he looked at the person with thick eyebrows indifferently.

The man seemed to notice her eyes, and between raising his eyes, he swept towards her slightly defiantly, and the agility and pride were really revealed.

Sihan's pupils shrank again uncontrollably.

Just sent away Situ Lingyan's big Buddha, and now this person has come to make trouble. That night on the East Lake, the Lantern Festival, she was to catch this bold man, but suddenly someone slapped the water and left, she also sent people around to investigate her, but there was no news, but now fortunately, she failed to find out the trace of this person, this person, who was bold and reckless and disguised as a man to enter the court.

His thoughts were churning, and Sihan's pupils became colder and colder.

But at this time, the top three in the imperial examination were already standing in front of her.

"Meet the eldest princess." In just a moment, the other two armors all threw their sleeves and knelt down with great reason, full of respect. The delicate man, on the other hand, frowned, seemed to be a little stunned, and then hesitated for a moment before he flicked his sleeves twice and knelt down.

"Emperor, this is the top three in this imperial examination?" Sihan's expression moved slightly, and he asked in a low voice.

Zhan Wenyi's expression was slightly dark, and he said respectfully and calmly: "Yes." ”

Sihan nodded indifferently and said in a low voice: "Although it is a palace test, there is no need to be too nervous. What this palace needs is not a nerd who can only read, but to select people who are useful to Tanglin. Therefore, the question of today's palace examination is how to enhance the national strength of my Tanglin. ”

As he spoke, his voice was raised, "Come on, send in pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, let this imperial examination be the top three, and the good student will write a countermeasure based on the question proposed by the palace." ”

As soon as these words fell, the other two were slightly stunned, but after a moment of silence, their faces were also a little relieved, as if they knew it in their hearts.

The delicate person alone knelt on the ground and was slightly impatient, and began to sway left and right, making small movements, which really made the surrounding ministers sweat for him, and they all wondered if this thin man had heard Si Han's exam questions clearly.

In just a moment, the palace slave had already sent the low table and Wenmo into the hall.

The other two naturally sat on the ground and began to write, but the delicate person finally loosened the two thick eyebrows, and then sat boldly, holding the brush and couldn't move his hand.

Sihan looked at the delicate man with cold eyes, his pupils sinking.

After a long time, the tip of the delicate man's nose finally moved, and only two rows of words fell on the huge white paper.

The distance is so far away that I can't see what the two rows of words are.

But after he finished writing, the man casually threw away the ink pen in his hand, and began to shake his body slightly, as if he couldn't sit still.

After a long time, the other two were finished, and the white paper under the pen of Shuangshuang was full of ink characters.

Sihan narrowed his gaze slightly, and said lightly to the eunuch beside him: "Put the ink paper away." ”

The eunuch immediately received the order, trotted over, and after collecting the ink and paper of the three people, Sihan carefully judged, only to see the other two, properly analyzed, well-organized, mainly around the tax and military strength of Tanglin, in order to save the country by self-improvement. The two rows of words on the paper of the delicate person are: Tanglin is fragmented, the land is barren, and it is difficult to save oneself. Since he should have hoarded troops, destroyed the distant country of Dayang, captured fertile land, and absorbed Dayang's poison and occult arts, and even Mohist talents. I am a snow barbarian, and I can help Tanglin destroy Dayang.

Sihan's complexion changed slightly, and his gaze fluctuated slightly.

This so-called country of Dayang is not adjacent to Tanglin, but far away, and seems to be outside Loulansai. It is difficult to recover such a distant country, but it is rumored in the world that Dayang is indeed fertile and extremely mysterious, and will get occult poison arts, and even know the true legends of hundreds of schools.

Thoughts churned, and Sihan's pupils shrank.

When she came back to her senses, she saw that the people who were slower all raised their eyes to look at her, and she pressed her heart and said in a low voice: "Let the ink paper of the answer to the top three be shown to the emperor and the ministers." ”

The eunuch received the order again, took the ink paper and handed it to Zhan Wenyi first.

After reading it, Zhan Wenyi passed it on to the people around him one by one.

After a long time, after the courtiers had finished reading it, the eyes of the slower people looked at the delicate woman in astonishment.

Sihan watched indifferently, and the shocked reaction of the ministers was also expected by her. Presumably, it was not only her Yan Sihan who was surprised by the sudden introduction of Dayang, but also these ministers must have been shocked by Dayang.

After all, the courage of such an ancient country to suddenly be told to destroy it is undoubtedly amazing.

It's just that I have to say that Dayang is full of talents, all of them are like gods, if she can really recover Dayang, she, Dongling, why worry that there is no one who will be like a god.

At this point, Sihan's eyes were mixed, and he did not speak.

After a while, she said in a low voice: "The ministers have also read the answers of these three people, what do you think?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers came back to their senses and did not speak.

After waiting for a while, Zhan Wenyi said slowly: "Liu Huan, the first place in the imperial examination, and Wang Yao, the second place, have clear answers, which are very in line with my Tanglin national conditions, and can be used." Yes, Weichen thought that these two people could be used. ”

As soon as the tail fell, Qingshan's thin lips opened, "Eldest princess, Weichen also agrees with the words of the imperial master." ”

Sihan said lightly: "The words of the emperor are extremely true. As he spoke, his eyes swept towards the surrounding ministers, "Do you Aiqing still have any objections?" ”

Most of the ministers lowered their eyes and shook their heads, and there was no objection.
