In the first few days of Ji Ning's stay in the capital, he basically said goodbye after being visited by others, going to meet guests against his will, and then greeting him with false affection......

In the end, he didn't even feel like he was here to catch the exam, but like he was here to visit relatives and friends.

It's just that the scholars from the south came to see him, after all, they are all Jiangnan people, and they can get closer to each other through the township party. But later, the students in the north will also come to meet him and invite him, and the places where he is invited are all occasions such as poetry meetings held by students in the north or literary meetings where friends are met with literature, which makes Ji Ning speechless.

"Yongning, the place has been found, you see if you can go over with us to see, if you think it's good, you can move over at any time, find a small house next door, just for you to live in, these months to live, can also avoid the harassment of so many people." Tang Xie is still very sympathetic to Ji Ning's experience.

Ji Ning, as the first place in the Jinling Township Examination, many things are unavoidable, if it is just to meet relatives and friends, it will not be so troublesome, Ji Ning can even choose a few social cultural clubs to participate in it.

It's just that these people who invited him had bad intentions, not to discuss knowledge with him, but to compare with him in poetry and writing, and even to find ways to trample his reputation under his feet. When Ji Ning was in Xie Yuan, he actually expected that he would be attacked after he arrived in the capital.

It's okay not to see him, but as a representative of Jinling City, Ji Ning must retain the most basic face for the scholars of Jinling City, and those who invited him to come over can excuse himself, but if he doesn't see him in person, it will make people think that he is very rude, so the meeting on etiquette is still necessary, but when they meet, they will not talk too much, let alone show off their knowledge, and they can send guests off after knowing what the other party's name is, where they are, and the general situation and background. Anyway, these people came to know him, and they didn't really want to be friends with him.

……

……

When Ji Ning was "meeting friends with Wen", in the capital, Princess Wenren Zhao Yuanrong had returned to the capital for four days, but she still did not return to her princess's mansion, but was secretly investigating some things, but at this time, she still did not find any valuable clues.

“…… Princess, it has been investigated, not only the whereabouts of the oracle bone inscription are a mystery, but now there are a large number of people around the capital who are closing the road, as if there is something going on in the court. His Majesty has not appeared in the court for nearly a month, and even those masters in the palace have not seen His Majesty, some people say that His Majesty has died in Xianyou, but now it has been mastered by some traitors in the court, so it is not lost! Zhao Yuanrong's deceased reported what he learned to Zhao Yuanrong.

Zhao Yuanrong said coldly: "My father's body has always been healthy before, and he has never had a serious illness, how can he suddenly become terminally ill?" The news must be inaccurate, and we must send someone to continue to investigate, even if we can't investigate the current situation of my father, we must also know why my father suddenly found an oracle bone inscription, could it be that this oracle bone inscription itself is a barb released by my father? ”

Although the female dead man didn't understand it very well, she still realized that Zhao Yuanrong was not as respectful to the royal family, especially the emperor, as the outside legend said, and they were still fighting openly and secretly with each other, not only the crown prince and the fifth prince had the opportunity to ascend the throne as emperors, but even Zhao Yuanrong would have thoughts about the throne.

After Zhao Yuanrong pondered for a long time, he suddenly asked, "Is there any news from Ji Ning?" ”

"Princess Hui, it has been investigated clearly, Ji Yongning has arrived in the capital a few days ago, and he temporarily lives in the Yuelaiju Inn in the area of Chongwenmen, but I heard that his friends around him are looking for a residence and are preparing to move out. In the past few days, Ji Yongning has a lot of people visiting there, many of them are going to provoke, but nothing has happened! "The woman died.

"That's inevitable. Ji Ning is very scheming and wise, how can those little students stump him? Not to mention a group of people going in batches, even if they go at the same time, I'm afraid he can handle it easily! Zhao Yuanrong thought of Ji Ning, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

The female dead man said: "Her Royal Highness the princess has something to tell Ji Yongning?" ”

"It's not a big deal, if you want to visit, this palace will go in person, you can go back and do your own thing!" After Zhao Yuanrong finished speaking, he got up and left the house where he lived, and left the residence in a carriage.

……

……

After Qi Niang escorted the oracle bone inscription to the capital, she was trying to find a way to meet the prince, but Qi Niang suddenly got a message that the prince said that he had been sick for a few days, and he was closed in the house, and he didn't even see any outsiders, which made Qi Niang feel very passive.

"Qi Niang, otherwise, we will send this thing directly to the palace, and say that the prince found it, so that His Majesty can see this thing, maybe it will have an effect on His Majesty's condition!" Qi Niang's subordinates are humane.

"You know what?" Qi Niang scolded, "Can this thing be easily revealed?" Have you ever wondered why Li Jing, the prefect of Jinling, has the courage to let us send this thing, that is, he knows that this is a hot potato, if the prince doesn't want it, we can't give it to others, because such a thing is likely to involve the stability of Guozuo in the future! ”

"Yes, Qi Niang, subordinates follow the teachings!" Even though the subordinate basically didn't understand Qi Niang's words, she still hurriedly said the language of compliments.

"Do your thing, now it's just to find a way to get in touch with the people in the Prince's Mansion, just say that everything is already here with me!" Qi Niang said.

The people under her hands went in a hurry, leaving Qi Niang alone in a daze, and she murmured: "The men in this world, in addition to being lustful, are duplicitous, which is really disappointing!" ”

……

……

In the Beijing Station, Li Jing also arrived in a hurry.

Li Jing entered the capital this time, nominally to participate in the nine-year assessment of court officials, and the time was about half a month, but it would take about three months to come and go.

Li Jing's real purpose is to personally escort the oracle bone inscription, he not only wants to ascend to the sky in one step, but also wants to be touched by the prince's joy, and can get a certain relationship with the prince, which will have a far-reaching impact on his future, instead of being a court official for a few days, in the end, after the prince ascends the throne, he has to be brushed down.

"Master, I have asked clearly, the woman named Qi Niang is indeed staying in the place agreed with us before, we have not yet seen the oracle bone inscription, if the lord is suspicious, you can send someone to kill this woman, take the oracle bone inscription in your hand, and present it to the prince or Your Majesty!" Humane men.
