Seeing that he didn't sit in his seat, but sat next to Xiao Liulang, everyone was surprised.

However, after thinking about it, he left the table early last night and entered the table late today, so I am afraid that he did not hear those remarks about Xiao Liulang. And he is from a poor family, and he doesn't know the rules of the seats, so I'm afraid that he thinks that the champion and the top eye are sitting on one side and the other.

This is the sorrow of poor students, who can't see the situation clearly, can't understand the rules, and don't know if they inadvertently offend people.

However, everyone is most disgusted with Xiao Liulang, and there is not much hatred for Ning Zhiyuan, Ning Zhiyuan wants to have no appearance, no background, compared with Xiao Liulang, it is simply not worth mentioning.

Everyone soon fell on Xiao Liulang's body again, and whispered to each other from time to time, generally criticizing Xiao Liulang for not being right.

Xiao Liulang was sitting on the cushion, as if he didn't hear it, and he chose to ignore it as if he heard it.

The hall was noisy, but his figure was a little thin.

Ning Zhiyuan took a sip of tea and suddenly said to him, "I went to the Ministry of Rites to check the test papers." I've read your article, and you really deserve to be the champion, don't care about other people's eyes. King Anjun's strategy is also very good, but compared to you, he is a little less innocent. I think that's what really impresses Your Majesty. On the contrary, it was me, my strategy was slightly inferior to Yuan Yu, but in the end, I took the third, and he took the fourth. may be because Yuan Yu is Yuan Shoufu's grandson, he is easy to get ahead, and a poor student like me, if he doesn't pass the Sanding Jia, he has almost no hope of soaring. ”

Xiao Liulang glanced at Ning Zhiyuan in astonishment.

Yesterday he threatened him so much, he could still say this to himself.

It seems that he is not unaware of the gossip.

Xiao Liulang looked away lightly: "Do you still have the courage to sit here and talk to me, aren't you afraid of catching fire?" ”

Ning Zhiyuan was silent for a while before he whispered: "If it weren't for you, I would be the one who is being excluded now." ”

Ning Zhiyuan is also from a poor family, he is not like Xiao Liulang who has fallen into the eyes of a nobleman, there is no one to support him, if he is excluded, the result is likely to be that he himself will not be able to stay in the capital.

Xiao Liulang's grades were better than him, and the light was bigger than him, which attracted everyone's jealousy, and almost no one had the leisure to exclude him.

"You hold on." Ning Zhi took a deep breath and said aggrievedly, "Otherwise, if you fall, it will be my turn next......"

Xiao Liulang, who was almost moved by him: "......"

When the emperor came, everyone was silent.

The emperor didn't say anything when he saw the seat of King Anjun, he sat down, and asked the musician to play the song "Deer Song", followed by all the Jinshi reciting the song "Deer Song", and finally ordered each of the three Dingjia to compose a poem that suited the occasion, which set off the academic atmosphere very well.

The meal of the Luming banquet is prepared by the imperial dining room, which is much more abundant than the light meal on the day of the small examination and the palace examination, many people have never eaten palace delicacies in their lives, and today may be their first and last time.

Although the coercion of the Son of Heaven was terrifying, they still ate it with relish, after all, it was indeed too delicious.

The Emperor left after a while, handing the scene over to the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Towards the end of the evening, the feast ended, and the jinshi left in turn.

Xiao Liulang and Feng Lin walked out of the Taihe Hall together, and not long after they went out, a eunuch came over with a smile on his face: "Excuse me, this is Xiao Zhuangyuan?" ”

Xiao Liulang glanced at him lightly: "Who are you?" ”

The eunuch smiled: "The old slave's surname is Huang, and he is a servant of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Xiao Liulang paused: "Why does the prince want to see me?" ”

The eunuch smiled and said, "The slave is just a messenger, if Xiao Zhuangyuan has any doubts, you can ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person." ”

Du Ruohan frowned.

The crown prince summoned him and couldn't help but -

Feng Lin was very happy: "Liulang, the prince summoned you!" ”

"yes, I know." Xiao Liulang nodded and said to the eunuch, "Father-in-law is tired to lead the way." ”

The eunuch gestured to please: "Xiao Zhuangyuan, please." ”

"You go back first, you don't have to wait for me, Liu Quan will come to pick me up later." Xiao Liulang said goodbye and went to the direction of the East Palace with the eunuch.

Feng Lin said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard about Liulang's talent and wants to win over Liulang, right?" ”

No wonder he thinks so, it's really the prince who is the nephew of Xuanping Hou, Xiao Liulang is like the son of Xuanping Hou, isn't that like the prince's cousin? Family!

Du Ruohan pouted and said, "The prince married his cousin's fiancée, who knows how the prince felt when he saw someone like his cousin?" ”

Feng Lin trembled: "Ah, forget this stubble!" ”

……

Beijing, Liujia compound.

The glorious Liu Mansion in the past has long been confiscated, and now the Liu family is crowded in a dilapidated small mansion, saying that it is the Liu family, but in fact, there is only one master left in Liu Yisheng, and there is a little dumb slave and an old woman who can barely do anything.

When Gu Jiao stepped into Liu's house, Liu Yisheng was squatting on the ground, practicing calligraphy on a broken stone slab picked up from outside with an old brush soaked in water.

He didn't have the money to buy pen and paper, so he had to practice in this way.

Seeing the sudden extra small figure in the courtyard, he was slightly startled, and a trace of embarrassment and crampedness flashed in his eyes, but it was replaced by a wave of self-deprecation in a moment.

is already lowly to the dust, what self-esteem face is there?

He continued to practice calligraphy and ignored Gu Jiao.

The dumb slave in the courtyard vigilantly grabbed a stick and blocked it in front of Liu Yisheng.

It seems that Liu Yisheng has been bullied a lot.

Liu Yisheng smiled coldly: "Stand down, Anu, you can't beat her." ”

Anu didn't retreat, glaring at Gu Jiao with fierce eyes.

He was not very old, and he was the same age as Gu Xiaoshun, Gu Jiao took a piece of candy from his pocket and handed it to him: "Do you want to eat?" ”

Anu's eyes lit up, and saliva flowed, but he didn't step forward, but stubbornly held his line.

Liu Yisheng laughed mockingly: "Go eat, if she wants to kill you, she doesn't have to be so troublesome." ”

Anu hesitated again before putting down the stick, and picked the candy cube that Gu Jiao handed him like a little monkey, as if Gu Jiao would calculate it if he was slow for a second.

After taking the candy, he broke it off and ate it in a small bite, putting the rest in his pocket.

"What are you going to do?" Liu Yisheng asked.

"Your medicine." Gu Jiao threw a stack of bundled medicine bags to him, "It's the last course of treatment." ”

"But I don't hurt anymore." He was referring to his own cholecystitis.

"It's not painful to eat, it's a course of treatment." Gu Jiao said.

Liu Yisheng said: "I don't have any money. ”

Gu Jiao said: "I know that you have no money, sell me a message, and I won't charge you for medicine." ”

Neither of them mentioned the bet and hairpins, as if they had forgotten about it together.

Liu Yisheng's hand was stunned: "What news do you want?" ”

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Did your Liu family really rebel?" ”

Liu Yisheng said: "What if you have made it? What if you haven't built it? ”

Gu Jiao touched her little chin: "If you have rebelled, you should know the palace very well, such as ...... Is there any way to enter the palace? ”

Liu Yisheng: "......"

On the other side, Huang Gonggong led Xiao Liulang to the East Palace, and seeing that he was about to pass by the Imperial Garden, Xiao Liulang's steps suddenly paused.

Gonggong Huang asked, "Xiao Zhuangyuan, what's the matter?" ”

"Nope."

He seemed to hear a cat meow, a very small sound, but it made his hair tighten.

Gonggong Huang smiled: "It's nothing, let's leave quickly, don't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wait in a hurry." ”

Xiao Liulang nodded lightly.

Not far away, on the banyan tree, a white cat was lying on its stomach, enjoying the small dried fish on the tree.

The two of them passed through the imperial garden, and were about to pass by the banyan tree, when suddenly, a little palace maid ran to the other entrance of the imperial garden: "Oh, it's not good, it's not good!" Someone's coming! ”

Xiao Liulang turned around.

Gonggong Huang frowned, pointed to the little eunuch beside him, and said, "You go and see what happened, I will take Xiao Zhuangyuan to see His Highness." ”

"Yes." The little eunuch went away.

Unexpectedly, the little palace maid actually pushed him away, ran all the way to Huang Gonggong, and knelt down with a plop: "Huang Gonggong!" It's great that you're here! I beg you to save my Highness! My Highness is dying! ”

"Who is she?" Xiao Liulang asked Huang Gonggong.

Huang Gonggong was angry and tried to break away from the little palace maid, but the little palace maid hugged his thighs tightly: "Huang Gonggong! Save my Highness! ”

Gonggong Huang said angrily: "How can the miscellaneous family manage the affairs of Your Royal Highness?" You have to go and show your majesty! ”

The little palace maid cried, "If I can see Your Majesty, how can I ask for your name? Please take me to the Prince! Although His Royal Highness is a proton, but in the end he is the prince of Chen Guo, you can't ignore him! My Highness has been sick for a long time! ”

"What's going on?"

Princess Ning, who was walking near the Imperial Garden, also heard the movement, and she walked slowly with the support of her subordinates.

Concubine Zhuang attached great importance to Princess Ning's birth, and specially asked the emperor for grace to allow her to raise a baby in her Yongshou Palace.

Gonggong Huang saw Concubine Zhuang coming over, and then looked at the banyan tree not far away, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and secretly scolded this little palace maid for bad things.

Chen Guo's proton is sick when he is sick, and he came here to be a proton, not a prince, so he doesn't have any points in his heart?

I'm mad at him!
