Because the emperor has not set up a prince for a long time, the concubines in the harem have all worked hard to give birth to the prince, although not everyone's efforts are useful, but there are also successes.

No, last month, a concubine who had only been in the palace for a year was lucky enough to give birth to a prince, and added opponents to the three princes and the seventh prince who were fighting openly and secretly.

No one should underestimate a baby, as long as he is a prince, he has the right to covet the crown prince.

And the emperor has begun to prepare for the re-establishment of the queen, since the death of the queen, the middle palace has been empty for ten years, as soon as this news comes out, all the concubines who have the prince are even more ready to move.

After listening to what Cai Shao said, Wan Lin immediately felt that his head was big, and he also said that the emperor should establish the candidate for the crown prince as soon as possible, and then establish the queen.

Cai Shao said that it was time for the emperor to choose, otherwise when the two Jinshi were selected this year, the emperor would definitely use this group of young talents to make some reforms to some government decrees, and if the court situation was unstable, it would not be conducive to reform.

The news heard from Cai Shao's mouth made Wan Lin know in his heart.

Wan Lin didn't inquire more about the affairs of the court, and asked Cai Shao some of the customs of the capital, Wan Lin listened with relish and longed for the capital a little more.

After Fu Xiaojiu and Yan Niang came out of the house, Wan Lin and Cai Shao also came out of the house, and Cai Shao was planning to take Wan Lin for a walk in the garden.

Yan Niang saw Wan Lin at this time, and immediately said to Fu Xiaojiu: "You and your husband are really a pair of beautiful people!" ”

Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu were a little embarrassed, after Yan Niang finished speaking, she looked at Cai Shao and said: "Wan Juren is a little similar to my master when he was young, when I first met my master, he was so handsome." ”

Yan Niang's eyes looked at Cai Shao like a young girl with a spring in her eyes, and Fu Xiaojiu suddenly remembered a sentence.

Love is blind.

"Hehe, madam, don't say that, I know I'm blessed, and I can't compare with before."

Although Cai Shao was modest, his eyes were full of happiness.

The two of them sprinkled the dog food, and Cai Shao asked, "Oh, by the way, Fulangzhong, Wanju people, why didn't you bring your friends here?" It's time for lunch. ”

Fu Xiaojiu said politely: "They still have their own things to do, so they won't come to the adult's mansion to bother." ”

Cai Shao smiled approachably, "Then in that case, let's have lunch together." ”

Fu Xiaojiu: The dog food is full, I'm not hungry.

The four of them sat together and had lunch in a harmonious atmosphere, and Cai Shao and Yan Niang personally sent the two of them to the door, and made an appointment to have lunch with them tomorrow.

When Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin returned to the inn, Wan Zhang and Nianzhen had just eaten.

Shao Jiacheng was not there, and Xu Jingshan was not there.

Wan Chang said that Xu Jingshan couldn't stay in the house and went out to hang out, but promised to come back before dinner.

Fu Xiaojiu gossiped with Nianzhen for a while about the sweet love between Yan Niang and Cai Shao, and Wan Lin pulled Wan Zhang to tell him about the court and the interesting things in the capital that he would hear from Cai Shao.

After chatting for a while, Fu Xiaojiu remembered that she had promised Shopkeeper Wu that she would go to the teahouse to drink tea in the afternoon, and the four of them went to the teahouse together.

The shopkeeper Wu did not recommend Fu Xiaojiu to Cai Shao in vain, Cai Shao gave him and Wu Datian a silver reward, and the uncle and nephew were very happy to take the silver reward.

Therefore, as soon as Fu Xiaojiu and the others arrived at the teahouse, they first saw Su Nian, who was in a very good mood and sang hard, and then saw the elegant table specially set aside by the shopkeeper Wu for them, which was placed with good tea sets and all kinds of snacks and fruits.

Fu Xiaojiu was not only warmly entertained by the shopkeeper Wu, but also respected and envied by others, and everyone politely greeted her.

It turned out that the shopkeeper Wu had already publicized Fu Xiaojiu's fame, and Fu Xiaojiu suddenly became a celebrity.

But they all knew that Fu Xiaojiu was going to leave the day after tomorrow, and they were embarrassed to disturb Fu Xiaojiu to let her see a doctor.

The four of them sat in the teahouse for a while, and Shao Jiacheng coincidentally found him, and they sat for more than an hour before leaving.

Shao Jiacheng said that he found a good shop that sold rouge gouache, and Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen could go and see it.

Anyway, it was still early for dinner, so they went to a few shops and bought some knick-knacks.

Because they made an appointment with Xu Jingshan, when the sky got darker, they hurried back to the inn.

However, Xu Jingshan hadn't come back yet, Wan Lin looked at the door and said, "Brother Xu won't go to yesterday's tavern to drink again, right?" I forgot to ask him yesterday where the tavern is, and if he comes back late, we can still look for him. ”

Shao Jiacheng said indifferently: "Let's not worry, we don't have to go to the trouble of reporting to the official to find someone." Later, if Brother Xu doesn't come again, I will send my family members to look for him in taverns one by one. ”

Fu Xiaojiu was still a little unaccustomed to Shao Jiacheng's style, Fu Xiaojiu couldn't help but say a word about him, Xu Jingshan suddenly walked in from outside.

Wan Lin saw him and asked directly, "Brother Xu, where have you been all day?" ”

Xu Jingshan smiled heartily, "I won't tell you anything, I didn't go anywhere this day, and I went to yesterday's tavern." I had a hearty drink at noon and slept until now. ”

Fu Xiaojiu had a good nose, and he smelled the same smell of wine on Xu Jingshan's body as yesterday's wine, although Fu Xiaojiu saw that Xu Jingshan had a feeling that he couldn't speak, but he didn't know what this feeling was.

Shao Jiacheng didn't care much about where Xu Jingshan went, and smiled at him: "You are free!" You're back just in time, come, let's order a few dishes and drink. Anyway, I won't leave tomorrow, even if I drink too much, it doesn't hurt. ”

Xu Jingshan sat down, everyone ordered the wine and food, and spent the night leisurely.

In the next day, Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin still went to Su Nian's house early, Su Lanlan was almost cured, and Fu Xiaojiu didn't have to worry about her illness anymore, but Su Lanlan's illness was cured, but there was a faint sadness lingering between her eyebrows.

Fu Xiaojiu guessed that she was trapped by love, but her sorrow could be dispelled soon, because Su Nian had already begun to talk about her family affairs.

Yan Niang's situation is also good today, Fu Xiaojiu confirmed that Yan Niang will not get sick after she leaves, and since Fu Xiaojiu knew about Yan Niang's childhood drowning, he also knew how to recuperate her body in addition to healing her head.

Yesterday, Yan Niang said that she and Cai Shao have not had a son and a half daughter over the years, Fu Xiaojiu has now conditioned her body, and after completely curing her madness, Yan Niang is estimated to be able to achieve her wish to be a mother.

That night, Xu Jingshan still came back drunk, and he went to the tavern again.

Shao Jia also wanted to follow him to the tavern, but he was still attracted by the Oiran of Huaxianglou and stayed in Gentle Township for most of the day.

They were leaving tomorrow, so they only ate and didn't drink in the evening, and Wan Lin and Wan Zhang also calmed down and read the book for half a night.

When they left early in the morning, the Su father and daughter came to see them off first, and the assassin and his wife were waiting for them in the Shili Long Pavilion in order not to be too conspicuous.

Cai Shao and Yan Niang prepared a practice wine for them, and with the light of Fu Xiaojiu, everyone else was also fortunate to have a few kind words with the Assassin Shi couple.

After drinking the practice wine, Fu Xiaojiu and his party finally left here.

Next, Fu Xiaojiu and the others were still very peaceful, and after walking for another five or six days, they finally saw the gate of the capital.

"We're in the capital!"

Fu Xiaojiu opened the curtain and saw the majestic city gate, and shouted excitedly.

The capital is southern, the climate is warmer, and the suitable climate makes people feel comfortable, and the fatigue of the journey for days is swept away at this time.

Shao Jiacheng's carriage followed, side by side with their carriage, he poked his head out of the window and said excitedly: "It is a good time for spring flowers to bloom in the capital, and the weather is warm early this year, so we are here at the right time." ”

Wan Lin quipped to him: "Brother Jiacheng, are you here to take the exam or to enjoy the mountains and rivers?" ”

Shao Jiacheng shook his head and said: "I'm here to take the exam and play, so don't delay!" ”

Wan Zhang deliberately said: "It seems that Brother Jiacheng is a bamboo in his chest, and he will definitely be able to win the Toad Palace!" ”

Shao Jiacheng stretched out his finger and shook it, "No, no, I don't have that much ability." I came to the exam without pretending, but I didn't say that I would be able to make the list. I'm here to get involved! ”

This way, Shao Jiacheng was so nurtured that he was no longer so annoying, and everyone laughed when he heard his words.

Xu Jingshan rode his horse to the middle of the two carriages, and said with regret: "It's a pity that I will be separated from you when I arrive in the capital." I'm done with my business, and I'll have to go back to the dart game as soon as I'm done, and we don't know when we'll see each other again. ”

Wan Lin hurriedly asked: "As soon as we enter Beijing, do you have to go to do things immediately?" ”

Xu Jingshan said: "I'm not so anxious, I can go to the inn with you first to book a room, if the things I want to do can be done within a day, I will check out and leave on the same day." If you can't finish it in one day, see when you can finish it before leaving. But according to my plan, I can leave today. ”

Xu Jingshan's words made Wan Lin a little lost and reluctant, but there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and this day will come sooner or later.

Wan Lin looked at the sun, "Brother Xu, it's almost noon, let's have lunch first after finding the inn, and then you can go to do errands." ”

"Good!" Xu Jingshan agreed without thinking.

The prosperity and liveliness of the capital exceeded the imagination of Wan Lin and others, and Shao Jiacheng had never been to the capital, and suddenly felt that the silver in his pocket finally had a place to spend.

Although the capital is large, it gathers talented people from all over the country, and the inns of all sizes are also full, Fu Xiaojiu still keeps lucky, and everyone arrives at a neat and clean inn, and the room is successfully booked.

They saw a lot of candidates in the inn, and they all greeted each other politely, but those who were qualified to enter Beijing to catch the exam were all talented people with real talents, and they were polite on the surface, but they were not convinced by each other in their hearts.

Some people are arrogant, and they don't even bother to be polite, their eyes are on their foreheads, and they don't see anyone as good as themselves.

Wan Lin didn't bother with them, Wan Zhang and Shao Jiacheng were so angry that they complained a few words, but they didn't take these people to heart.

Because Xu Jingshan had something to do, they didn't delay, they had lunch directly in the inn, and then reluctantly sent Xu Jingshan out of the door.

When Xu Jingshan rode away on horseback, Wan Lin and the others entered the house, and as soon as they stepped into the house with their front feet, Wan Lin felt that someone gently patted him on the shoulder.

Wan Lin thought that someone had accidentally bumped into him, but when he turned around, he saw a white-faced scholar with an arrogant temperament and a cold expression.

"Brother Ren, there is something I want to ask for advice on next."
