She changed her clothes and rode to Kangfu in a carriage.

Kang Shilin also came back from outside.

At such a beautiful moment, his old man will not sit at home and be bored. Just now, by going to see the Kuaguan's kung fu, he sat in the teahouse and accepted a good flattery and praise, so he stayed outside for so long before going home.

Hearing Zhao Ruxi, he also smiled and said: "This kid, did you come to give me good news at this time?" ”

Kang An joked: "Miss Zhao is not only angry, but also makes your old man earn enough face, and she is so filial, she is always the first to think of you when she is old." ”

made Kang Shilin laugh "haha".

At this time, Zhao Ruxi followed his subordinates in.

"Master." She called.

Kang Shilin has been with the little apprentice for two years, and usually this child is always smiling, and he has always looked like he is a bamboo. But now, although there was a smile on his face, there was anxiety in his eyes, and his heart suddenly lifted.

He stood up and said, "Let's go, go to the study and talk." ”

Seeing this, Kang An sent the other subordinates out, leaving him alone in the study; Qingfeng, who followed Zhao Ruxi in, didn't get the girl's orders, and the pestle didn't move there.

Although Kang Shilin is 60 or 70 years old, he also attaches great importance to getting along. No matter what confidential things he had, when he talked to Zhao Ruxi, he always kept Kang An and Qingfeng to prevent others from chewing on the root of Zhao Ruxi's tongue.

"What's wrong?" As soon as he sat down, Kang Shilin said, "What happened?" Is there someone who sees that you have won the champion and is dissatisfied, so that the yin trick comes against you? ”

"Master......" Zhao Ruxi was a little embarrassed.

Although she is Kang Shilin's apprentice, she has only been with Kang Shilin for less than two years. But Xiao Qi has been with Kang Shilin for half his life, and the relationship between the two is as close as father and son.

If she expressed her concerns, wouldn't she be saying that Xiao Qi would be happy and doubt his character? How will Master view her?

Zhao Ruxi's personality is extremely atmospheric, and he has always said everything generously, never like now, spitting and spitting, and his little white and tender face was wrinkled.

"What the hell is going on? You name it. Kang Shilin is an anxious person, and he can't see others want to say anything, "Do you want to kill me in a hurry?" ”

He suddenly thought of something: "Is it your family business?" That's right, you're almost sixteen years old, and now that you've made a name for yourself and been admitted to the top prize, it's normal for someone to come and propose marriage. ”

He leaned forward, looked at Zhao Ruxi and said, "Who is it?" ”

Zhao Ruxi couldn't cry or laugh: "Master, where did you think of it." ”

She had to say bluntly: "I originally begged the master to tell the emperor that I didn't want to be a first-class jinshi and wanted to be released." Have you inquired, did Gonggong Xie really tell the emperor? Why does the emperor insist on making me the champion? ”

"Because the palace examination was not taken at that time, it was said that he would not be a first-class jinshi but only a second-class jinshi, which inevitably made the emperor feel that our master and apprentice were too arrogant. So I asked Xiao Xie Zi to say it, and asked him to talk about it after the palace examination is over, when the emperor has read all the test papers. Kang Shilin said.

"Xiao Xiezi, I understand. There is nothing to say about his character, as long as he has promised something, there is nothing he will not do. He must have told the emperor that. As for the reason why you are the champion, I have also heard that your calligraphy is too amazing, and the article is also very well written, the emperor's love is rising, and he is unwilling to bury talents because of those who have not, so he insists on appointing you as the champion. I think you heard what he said in the court today. ”

Zhao Ruxi had no choice but to nod: "I heard it." ”

"That's it." Kang Shilin said, "According to me, you should be the champion." ”

"Then I can't let it out?" Zhao Ruxi asked eagerly.

"That's why you want to let it out?" Kang Shilin said, with some disapproval in his expression.

Although Zhao Ruxi originally persuaded him, he never agreed with Zhao Ruxi's release in his heart.

He's an old father mentality.

Isn't it good to stay in the capital in peace? With him protecting him and a few senior brothers covering, no one dared to give Zhao Ruxi a bad look. ran to the field, and the person who didn't know what to do and had no eyes collided with her, and they couldn't protect it.

When something happens, not only will his old man not be able to bear the consequences, but Dajin will also lose a talent. Painting master, calligraphy master, the first female champion, such a talent is rare in a hundred years, so it should be protected under the nose.

Seeing the master like this, Zhao Ruxi was anxious, and had no choice but to say his inner thoughts: "Master, have you ever thought about it, the first-class jinshi is going to enter the Hanlin Academy." I am a young woman who goes in and out of the palace every day and stays by the emperor's side. When the time comes, the concubines in the palace will treat me as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and what should they do if they want to get rid of me? ”

"Look at it, I'm just a little better at studying and a little better at arithmetic, but I get in the way of Concubine Jin and Princess Xiangyang, how many tricks did they use against me? If I go to stay with the emperor again, will I still be alive? ”

Kang Shilin was stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually became solemn.

Xiao Qi is also in his forties and almost fifty, and his character is trustworthy, not a king who values beauty. Compared with beauty, he values talents more. So Kang Shilin didn't think about it at first.

Now that Zhao Ruxi mentioned it, he realized that this was indeed a problem.

Xiao Qi admired Zhao Zhiwei very much from the moment he bought her paintings; Now her calligraphy has amazed him again, and the article is written so well and so talented, which makes Xiao Qi insist on making her the champion.

Zhao Ruxi is so beautiful, she speaks sweetly, and has a strong ability to do things. Who doesn't like such a woman?

Kang Shilin had close contact with three emperors, and he knew the urine of these emperors best. They think that the whole world is their own, so the best women in the world should be enjoyed by them.

Although Xiao Qi has a good character, although love is better than beauty, but a talented and beautiful woman is dangling in front of him every day, will he be tempted to include her in the palace?

The back seat of the palace is still vacant.

Today, Xiao Qi can ignore the opposition of hundreds of officials and insist on handpicking Zhao Ruxi as the champion; Will tomorrow ignore the opposition of the world and insist on making Zhao Ruxi the queen?

Kang Shilin raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Ruxi.

With the excellence of his apprentice, being a queen is naturally qualified. But the question is, is she willing? Moreover, his little apprentice is only sixteen years old, married to a little old man of half a hundred, not to mention that she is unwilling, as Xiao Yu's cousin, he is also unwilling.

Does this old cow eat tender grass?

Emperors have always lived for a long time, in case Xiao Qi's life span is not long, wouldn't his little apprentice want to live the rest of his life in the Taimiao alone?

He asked: "You repeatedly told me that you wanted to be released and didn't want to be a first-class person, did you also take this factor into account?" ”
