"Willow one, willow one,"

Holding a set of Chinese pinyin bookbooks that had just been reprinted by the Ministry of Rites, Li Chengqian whispered in his mouth, completely unthinking that his life-saving benefactor, even if he had disappeared without a trace, could still make such a big effect. {First Reading}

"Your Highness is thinking about Mr. Liu?" Wu Mei, who was already three months pregnant, walked lightly, and when she came to Li Chengqian, she saw that Li Chengqian was looking at the book in his hand, so she opened her mouth and asked him.

"Yes, Mr. Liu has been gone for so long, and there has been no news, and I don't know if they are safe now." Li Chengqian glanced up at his crown princess, put down the book, and reached out to help Wu Mei sit on his lap.

"Your Highness, don't worry," Wu Mei reached out and took the bookbook that Li Chengqian had just put down on the table, and said softly: "Although the concubine and Mr. Liu have only met once, and they don't know much about Mr. Liu, but the concubine knows that Mr. Liu is a talented and extremely smart person, since he chose to hide, it means that only hiding is his best choice, and there should be no danger." ”

"Well, Mei Niang is right, Mr. Liu is not a reckless person, he likes to plan and then act, and never do things that he is not sure of, but," Li Chengqian glanced at his very smart wife, and asked: "Lone has always been unable to figure out what is the reason why Mr. Liu will choose the way to escape, can Mei Niang solve Lone's confusion?" ”

"Your Highness thinks too highly of the concubine's body, Your Highness can't figure out these things, how can the concubine be a woman's family?" Wu Mei sat obediently in Li Chengqian's arms, her eyes flashed, and she flattered Li Chengqian softly. As a woman. Especially the women in the palace, Wu Mei knew what she should say. And what not to say.

"Hehe, your little cleverness, Lone knows." Li Chengqian chuckled disappreciatively, and did not force Wu Mei to continue.

"Actually. The concubine has always been very strange," Seeing that Li Chengqian seemed to be in a good mood today, Wu Mei had the courage to ask Li Chengqian: "Since Mr. Liu is very talented, and he is very close to His Royal Highness. Why didn't His Highness take him under his command in the first place? ”

Even if Liu Yiyi is a businessman and cannot be an official, if he can get his sincere sincerity, the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not be underestimated.

"Luohua is intentional, flowing water is unintentional, Mr. Liu has no intention of career from the beginning, and he doesn't want to get involved in the power circle of officialdom, he is the benefactor of Lone and his mother, how can Lone force him." Li Chengqian sighed lightly. He shook his head and said no more.

Woman of Kindness!

In Li Chengqian's arms, Wu Mei's eyes inadvertently revealed a trace of disdain. Such a good talent doesn't know how to take advantage of it, as a high-ranking person, Li Chengqian's actions are very unqualified.

"Your Highness is benevolent," Wu Mei turned her head. With a smile on his face again. put down the book book in his hand, and poured a bowl of tea for Li Chengqian with a pot. The light end was handed to Li Chengqian's hand, and he said: "Your Highness, the two brothers mentioned to Your Highness last time on the concubine, I don't know"

Wu Mei's face was flattering.

"You don't need to mention this matter again, Lonely Land has his own plans in his heart," Li Chengqian put on the tea bowl, glanced at the little man in his arms, and said sternly: "If they really have the ability, Lonely will not treat them badly." ”

Li Chengqian is a little disgusted by this kind of thing, a woman who is not at home and is dedicated to her husband and children, but in her heart she always thinks about this kind of thing as fighting for power and profit, which is not good.

If it weren't for Wu Mei's already bulging little belly, Li Chengqian would definitely reprimand her loudly again.

"It's the concubine who is rude, don't blame Your Highness!" Seeing that Li Chengqian's face changed slightly, Wu Mei hurriedly stood up from Li Chengqian's lap and bent over to confess to Li Chengqian, but she was a little dry in this matter. {First Reading} But she also tried Li Chengqian's attitude towards her, after having this child in her belly, Li Chengqian obviously indulged her a lot, but the extent of this indulgence was far from what she imagined.

"Well, okay, you're pregnant, it's inconvenient to wait here, let's go down and rest first, and I'll see you later." Li Chengqian put the tea bowl lightly on the table, waved his hand slightly, signaled to the palace maid next to him, and took Wu Mei down.

Sure enough, he still didn't get his truth

Before leaving the room, Wu Mei glanced back at Li Chengqian, and felt a little resentful in her heart, thinking that she Wu Mei could be regarded as a natural beauty, and she was pregnant with flesh and blood for Li Chengqian, but why, in Li Chengqian's heart, she was never as good as a dead person? The former crown princess, is she really so good that Li Chengqian still misses her to this day?

"Student Zhang Chuwen, I've seen the crown princess!" Wu Mei was thinking about it when a scholar who came towards her bent over and saluted her, and stood quietly next to the corridor, waiting for her to pass first.

Zhang Chuwen? Wu Mei stopped lightly and looked Zhang Chuwen up and down, she knew this person, I heard that it was Liu Yiyi's eldest brother, who was going to participate in the re-examination of the Ministry of Officials this year, and she liked to walk around this East Palace if she had nothing to do in the past few days. is a very clever person, not as sour as other scholars.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince called you?" Seeing that Zhang Chuwen was very polite, Wu Mei asked him lightly.

"Back to the princess, it was indeed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who summoned the students to come, saying that he wanted to explain something to the students." Zhang Chuwen's expression was respectful, although it was a little strange for the crown princess to ask him like this, but he still answered very seriously. After all, this crown princess is the closest person to His Royal Highness the crown prince in addition to the emperor and queen, and it would be of great benefit if she could have a relationship with her or leave a good impression.

"Well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is reading in the study, you can go over now, don't make His Highness wait for a long time." Wu Mei nodded her head, very satisfied with Zhang Chuwen's attitude, and seeing Zhang Chuwen bending down and taking two steps back, Wu Mei walked by him with light steps.

When she got behind Zhang Chuwen, Wu Mei stopped again, turned around slightly, and asked Zhang Chuwen again: "If I remember well, Zhang Gongzi seems to be among them in the re-examination of the officials in a few days, right?" ”

"Her Royal Highness Princess Lao remembers, in the list of re-examinations, there is indeed a place for students." Zhang Chuwen also turned around and arched his hand to answer, but the expression on his face changed slightly, I don't know what this princess meant by such a question?

"Well, that's it, listening to His Royal Highness, Zhang Gongzi's talent is not bad, and this year's re-examination seems to be very promising." Wu Mei looked at Zhang Chuwen half-truthfully and said a word, then turned around, led a group of palace maids, and left.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess Ji Yan!" Zhang Chuwen saluted respectfully at the back of Wu Mei's departure, then raised his head again, and glanced in the direction of Wu Mei's departure, thoughtfully, this princess seemed to be hinting at something to him?

Perhaps, when the time is right, I should also go to the crown princess to pay a visit. This crown princess is also a little extraordinary.

"Gongzi Zhang, the crown princess has gone away, let's go over quickly, I want to come to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a hurry." The chamberlain who led Zhang Chuwen in urged softly on the side, and then walked straight in front and took Zhang Chuwen to Li Chengqian's study.

After waiting outside the door for a while, he heard Li Chengqian's instructions, and Zhang Chuwen walked in.

"Sit down." Li Chengqian glanced up at him, pointed to the chair next to him, motioned for Zhang Chuwen to sit down, and raised his hand to hand the book in his hand to the table in front of Zhang Chuwen, and asked softly: "Have you ever heard of this Chinese pinyin?" ”

Zhang Chuwen picked up the book and flipped through the two pages, and then said to Li Chengqian with a chuckle: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this kind of symbol, the student has seen it from my sister-in-law, and it is for teaching children to read and write, which is very novel. ”

"Gu wants to know, when did Chu Wen first see this Chinese pinyin?" Li Chengqian glanced at Zhang Chuwen and asked softly.

"Oh, when the students first met, it was in mid-July last year, before the flood in central Henan, you already had it in Liufu." Knowing why Li Chengqian asked like this, Zhang Chuwen continued: "It's not a recent thing. ”

"Really?" When Li Chengqian heard this, he felt a little lost in his heart, and said softly: "Lone still thinks that it was Mr. Liu who has the news, and these things are Mr. Liu's doing." ”

"Could it be that until now, Mr. Liu has not sent a message to his home?" Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Zhang Chuwen, with a little hope on his face.

"This, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," Zhang Chuwen lowered his head slightly, and said to Li Chengqian: "Sister-in-law, so far, they have not contacted the family even once, and the people sent out to find it have not been found, and the students and the two virtuous brothers are also on fire, but there is no way. ”

"That's it," Seeing that Zhang Chuwen didn't seem to be lying, Li Chengqian turned his head and asked Zhang Chuwen again: "I don't know what Erjo is busy with during this time?" How prepared are you for the retest? ”

"Thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince's concern, Brother Nijo and the students have been studying hard behind closed doors during this time to prepare for the re-examination, but I don't know, will this year's Jinshi selection be the main exam?" Zhang Chuwen raised his eyes and glanced at Li Chengqian, and asked him tentatively.

"The main examiner of this year's re-examination is Wei Zheng." Li Chengqian replied to Zhang Chuwen indifferently
