Three days later, the opening of the list came as scheduled, and there were many people bustling at the gate of the palace, and the front of the list was also full of people.

"Young master, young master, hit! Hit! ”

"Congratulations."

"Rejoice and rejoice."

"Hey! It's off the list! ”

"Ah, my name really is on it!"

"Come back in three years!"

"Ah, why! Why! How so! ”

Different lives of all kinds are opened like this, the top three on the list are lined up at the palace gate to prepare to enter the palace to receive the decree, the first is the champion of this palace test, and the twenty-year-old Xingzhou Gongshi Zheng Fan is ranked first, although he is happy in his heart, but he no longer likes to be in shape, and he is mature and confident above his age. The second on the list is the forty-year-old Shuzhong Gongshi Ying Zening, who is also standing behind Zhuang Yuanlang with an expressionless face, taking the exam for so many years, and finally going to high school in the year of confusion, which is also a blessing. Tanhualang, who ranked third, was won for him by Ling'er, the fourteen-year-old imperial city tribute Qi Dai, the eldest son of Qi Hai.

In fact, when the emperor saw this name and family background, he also considered this issue, whether to be a secretary for Ling'er, thought twice, discussed it with the queen, and finally decided that this matter should be left to Ling'er to decide by herself, after all, she had promised her a long time ago, and the gentleman would not be able to chase after him, and he could not easily change it. It's time for Ling'er to decide some things and the future for herself.

The military officials above the main hall are waiting with bated breath for the appearance of Yijia, most of the ministers in the court are from the palace test, and the king of Qi likes literati and inkmen, and likes those who are really capable, rather than hereditary nobles. Ling'er also came to participate in his first court meeting today, the little eunuch shouted loudly that three tributes entered the temple, read out the holy decree to give Jinshi and the first, and then arranged their own positions for each person, Zhuang Yuanlang went to the Ministry of Rites, Ling'er was about to ascend the throne, and the Ministry of Rites was short of manpower. Bangyan went to the household department. Tanhua became a subordinate of the East Palace and the secretary of the imperial princess.

Today's court meeting is because Qi Hai is here, Wen Jingye is also here, everyone is very surprised when they hear this decision, including Qi Dai is not sure, the surprise is like writing on his face, standing there and forgetting to thank him, and finally the little eunuch is afraid that he will lose his honor in front of the palace and snort a few times to remind him, Qi Tanhua is busy kneeling down to thank him, at this time Ling'er sitting on the chair next to the dragon chair in the main hall is also a strange expression Looking at the emperor, I wanted to speak and found that everything I said at this time was wrong, but it has become a fact, this is not easy to change, Ling'er bit her mouth, thinking about how this could have come to this, is there really such a coincidental thing in the world? ! How could it be so coincidental?! In the eyes of outsiders, this Qi Hai wanted to send a climbing ladder to the royal family after losing a Pan Yunti, but this time it was different from the last time, Qi Hai had already sealed the Hou Ye, what kind of honor did he want, so he was not satisfied? ! Aren't you afraid of the same fate as the Shi family?!

After the next dynasty, Qi Hai was complimented left and right, and was congratulated by his colleagues, but he was muttering in his heart, why didn't he know anything about it at all, what the hell was going on. I want to talk to Qi Dai, this kid is faster than himself, and there is no one to smoke, so I have to ask what is going on when I go home.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Qi Dai went home with the holy decree, this Tanhualang really gave his mother a face, at least he could pick up his mother when he went out to build a mansion in the future. Secretary Lang or something, let's talk about it tomorrow, at least today he is happy, he has studied for so many years, and he took the palace exam for the first time in high school, which is an affirmation of his mother forcing him to read books over the years, and it is also an affirmation of his time in Qi Mansion over the years.

After Qi Dai arrived home, everyone in the family knew about his high school flower exploration, and Mrs. Qi came out with a group of women to greet him.

"My son, you really gave the head of the Marquis Jiayong Mansion, and Zuo Zuo will also learn from Brother Dai in the future, do you know?!" Mrs. Qi led Zuo Zuo and stood at the front.

"Let the mother bother, and the son will be able to earn money to support the family in the future." Qi Dai spoke modestly.

"Brother Dai." His mother is Qi Hai's concubine, and she is almost in the house with Mrs. Qi, Qi Dai is only a few months younger than Qi Rong, although Chen is a concubine in Qi Mansion, but the status of a concubine who has a child is not too low, and Mrs. Qi is also easy to get along with. Chen only shouted his son's name in a thousand words, and nothing mattered.

"Come into the house and talk, my father should be back soon, and when I saw that my father was surrounded by his colleagues, I went home first." Qi Dai stepped forward to help Mrs. Qi go back, but Mrs. Qi waved her hand, pointed at Chen, and asked him to go back with his mother, Mrs. Qi led Zuozuo and walked in front, followed by Qi Dai and Chen, and there were a few younger children and concubines and maids in the back.

"I asked my subordinates to prepare some firecrackers, and I will put them up after the Hou Ye comes back, and then invite some troupes to have fun and hold a few tables of banquets." Mrs. Qi said as she walked that Zuo Zuo liked the excitement at home, and she was very happy to hear that there was a troupe.

"Starting tomorrow, Erchen will also enter the palace every day, can I take the car on the left and left?" Qi Dai didn't have his own car, and now he was riding a horse, and he had no ground bolt at the palace gate for a day, so he could only rub the carriage on the left and left. Because Zuo Zuo must enter the palace every day to practice swordsmanship, but Hou Ye does not enter the palace every day.

"What kind of job did Brother Dai receive, he had to enter the palace every day." Mrs. Qi walked to the main hall and sat down, raised her eyes to Qi Dai and asked.

"Your Majesty asked the minister to be a subordinate of the East Palace, the secretary of the imperial lady." Qi Dai was also thinking about this.

"Ahh What kind of official is my sister's secretary? Left left was the first to ask.

"Zuozuo, I want to shout His Highness! This is the Imperial City, not your valley. Mrs. Qi didn't want Zuo Zuo to shout at home like this, for fear that people would think that they were all pampered and arrogant.

"No, my sister asked me to call my sister, and she was not happy to call Her Highness." Zuozuo ignored his mother.

"Brother Dai, is this the official position that His Highness asked you for?" Mrs. Qi thought that it might be that she had met twice that day, could Ling'er not be able to use him as a stand-in for Rong'er?

"What nonsense!" Qi Hai walked in, dressed in court clothes, and said to Qi Dai: "Come with me to the study, you are not allowed to come in!" After saying that, he walked out. After Qi Dai said goodbye to everyone, he also followed in his father's footsteps.

After coming in, he closed the door, and Qi Hai looked at Qi Dai with the eyes of the prisoner: "Tanhualang, I heard that your Tanhua was personally asked for by His Royal Highness, and then you want to be her secretary directly?!" ”

"Father!" Qi Dai knelt on the ground and hurriedly said, "My son really doesn't know, he doesn't know anything." ”

"I don't know, Originally, Your Majesty wanted to give you a second-class heir, but it was changed to a first-class Tanhua by His Royal Highness, and you appeared in front of His Highness twice in the mansion that day, for this?" Qi Haiqi slapped the table directly.

"The son can't understand his father's words, the son didn't mean to see His Highness that day, the son ran so fast, His Highness chased after him, and the son was scared to death, heaven and earth can be learned!" Qi Dai began to swear.

"What can heaven and earth learn from, let me tell you, you will enter the palace as a secretary, do you think you will become Rong'er?! No! You will become Rong'er's shadow! None of the good will do you! Today's concubine can't tolerate you, and today's Wen Guogong can't tolerate me! Qi Hai roared at Qi Dai!

"Father, the child's sincerity can be learned, the father doesn't believe that the child will die to apologize!" Qi Dai stood up and was about to hit the pillar, but was kicked back to the ground by Qi Hai and sat down.

"Who are you going to die for! If you die, will I be your secretary tomorrow? The emperor blamed it, do you want the Wenfu to bury you?! Qi Hai was dizzy by his angry mind, pinched his waist, and yelled at Qi Dai, like a village woman scolding the street.

"Father, what do you say, son will do......" Qi Dai was frightened.

"You go to be a secretary first, in a few days, I will go to Your Majesty with an old face to ask for an official to be released, and you will go to other places to experience and experience." Qi Hai doesn't want Qi Dai to be treated by Ling'er as Qi Rong again, the current Wen family is in full swing, he doesn't want to muddy the water anymore, he just wants to keep the title of this marquis safe and sound, and in the future, Ling'er will arrange a good official position for Zuo Zuo in front of Qi Rong, Zuo Zuo is destined to inherit his title, even if he doesn't ask for an official and a half-job, he will have no worries for a lifetime.

"Yes, my son wrote it down." Qi Dai was originally afraid of this father, but now he is even more trembling as if he was walking on thin ice.

"Go out, wipe away your tears, and have fun with your mother, and don't let them know, let alone worry them." Qi Hai had no strength after scolding, sat at the desk, and looked at this son weakly.

Ling'er is also a little embarrassed here, the Tanhua that she begged for like this is actually the cousin of her former concubine, which is what outsiders think, how can this be, how can it be so coincidental and not written. Following the emperor back to the imperial study, Ling'er kept muttering about it in her heart.

"Father, do you know that this Tanhua is Qi Rong's younger brother?" Ling'er raised her head and stood next to the emperor, and when the emperor came back, she began to read the chapter, but Ling'er stood there and didn't leave, nor did she help to watch.

"Shouldn't you learn from the Taishi at this time?" The Emperor then raised his head and asked her.

The son said a few words and went immediately. Father, you should have told me early on that your younger brother named Qi Rong would be my secretary. Ling'er began to complain, mainly because she couldn't explain to Ah Jue for a while, and she was embarrassed to see someone who looked so similar to Qi Rong tomorrow.

"What, isn't it the secretary you came here after a long time?!" The emperor looked at Ling'er with a smile, as if he was watching a joke.

"Father, you don't know, he is like Qi Rong, I saw him last time I went to his house!" Ling'er said that she didn't get to the point for a long time.

"It's like that, a secretary, you don't like it, you still like it, if you don't like it, change it, and keep it if you like it." The emperor saw her grinding like that, and he didn't say why for a long time.

"Father, you can pit me, just keep it! I didn't do anything bad, I have nothing to be afraid of! After Ling'er finished speaking, she left in a huff, yes, why was she so afraid. She didn't know in advance, she just took a fancy to his literary talent, why did she have to drag the relationship and go through the back door to give him a tanhualang, she didn't have it, no matter how Qi Rong looked, it was not Qi Rong, besides, now that there is Ah Jue, Qi Rong will not blame her in the sky. Comforting himself angrily, he walked to Master Mo's school while thinking, Ah Jue was already sitting there, and the two had already started class. Ling'er glanced at Ah Jue, and didn't know how to explain it to him, Ah Jue didn't know about it now, just drive the secretary away in a few days, don't talk about it for the time being, I really don't know how to say it.

The next morning, Zuo Zuo usually gets up before dawn and prepares to go to the palace, Qi Dai wants to rub his car, and only get up early like this, and when he comes back, he sends a carriage to himself, so he doesn't need to go to the palace so early.

"Brother Dai, you are so powerful, you are all Tanhualang, I will learn from you in the future." Zuo Zuo was still immersed in joy, he was really happy for Qi Dai.

"Is Your Highness bad-tempered?" Qi Dai was a little worried, his mother chatted with him last night, and he still hoped that he could climb the road of wealth and wealth of Ling'er, and bring good fortune to the Qi family and himself. Qi Dai's heart was broken after hearing this, didn't his mother mind if he lived as his brother's shadow? His Royal Highness is sincere to his brother, but what kind of onion is he counted, and there is also the Wen family that is now in full swing, his father is afraid of his family, afraid that his family will become the fate of the Shi family, only his mother is really a woman's opinion.

"My sister doesn't have a bad temper, she's good to me, I'll know when I see you!" Zuo Zuo grinned.

"Really? That's great, I'm not afraid of being beaten up with a good temper. Qi Dai touched Zuo Zuo's head, this younger brother will be the Hou Ye in the future, and his fame will have to be fought for by himself. Mothers have different lives.

After a while, the two arrived at the gate of the palace, and after the carriage got down, they entered the palace directly, and the guards at the gate of the palace had already known Zuo Zuo, and his face was the brand.

"Qi Xiaogongzi is early, who is this?" One of them came forward and searched his body.

"This is Qi Tanhualang, my brother." Zuozuo raised his head proudly.

"It turned out to be Tanhualang, fast forward, fast forward!" After the guards had searched their bodies, they let the two in.

"Zuo Zuo, I'll go somewhere else and wait for Your Highness first, you go and practice." Qi Dai was reluctant to go too early.

"Where can you go, this is the palace, running around and staying is a capital crime, don't make trouble for your father, come with me, I'll take you to meet my sister." Left left pulled Qi Dai and went in the direction of Ximeng Palace.

"I'm not there yet, I can't go. Why don't I go back to the palace gate and wait a while before I go in. "Qi Dai really doesn't want to go now.

"You can't get out of the palace now, if you don't follow me, you'll be arrested by the patrolling guards, let's go!" Zuo Zuo pulled him and didn't let him go, and dragged him to the door of Ximeng Palace, the little eunuch saw Zuo Zuo and let him in directly, and he didn't report it, he came at this time every day, and it was troublesome for His Highness to be troublesome, so he was exempted from reporting.

"Sister, sister, this is my brother, your secretary Lang, Qi Tanhua!" Zuozuo seemed to be showing off, and pushed Qi Dai to the front like a treasure.

Ling'er felt bad when she saw him pull someone in, and she was bluffing, and Ling'er's face was dark.

"This is Qi Tanhua?" Ling'er pretended to be the first time she saw it, and smiled awkwardly.

"Didn't you say you'd seen it? Last time I was at my house, it was him, didn't you see the decree of the last dynasty yesterday? Zuo Zuo didn't know that there was such a thing as lying, so he slapped Ling'er in the face directly. Ling'er won't even laugh awkwardly now.

Ah Jue smiled, seeing Ling'er's embarrassment, only to know that this was the case, and the little girl had been hiding for a long time from Qi Rong's younger brother to become her own secretary.

The Grand Commander and the Master also felt that something was obviously wrong, and the Grand Commander said: "Zuo Zuo, you shouldn't have brought your brother here, first, the time has not come, and second, His Highness's inner palace is not where he should be." ”

"Senior brother, my brother doesn't have a car, and he has no place to stay if he enters the palace with my car." Left left is not lying.

"Please also ask Tanhualang to go to my guard camp and wait for a while, when the time comes, His Highness will summon him, and he will not go to court today, and the secretary Lang will wait until His Highness will go to Mo Taishi every morning and in the afternoon, and the court will add some time in the morning, and this time will come, even the early dynasty is not so early." The commander said so carefully, it was for Qi Dai to go down the steps, which means that you pretend not to know the time and rules, and go out quickly, which can be regarded as a fool.

"Yes, the minister is guilty, please tell the minister where your guard camp is, and the minister will wait there." Qi Dai was also busy coming down from the steps.

"Brother Dai, haven't you eaten yet, sister, this martial arts practice has a delicious breakfast, but there is no one at home." Zuo Zuo didn't want his brother to go, and always felt that his sister would leave him and treat Brother Dai the same as he did to himself. But Ling'er really doesn't want Qi Dai to stay here anymore, Ah Jue is already angry, Ling'er is obviously pretending to be confused, how to explain, how to explain it clearly! It's a shame that I crackled the abacus beads yesterday, and I feel that I will find a reason to drive him away in a few days, and I don't know it, and Ah Jue definitely doesn't know. This immediately gave himself a resounding slap in the face, and he could see that guy in the morning before he practiced his sword. Ling'er didn't speak, and Ah Jue also smiled and didn't speak, and that smile looked really angry. This is a big contradiction.

The Grand Commander also ignored Zuo Zuo's words, and hurriedly asked someone to take Qi Dai away, and the rest of the people were not so happy when they practiced swordsmanship, and the atmosphere this morning was a little weird. But when it was time to eat breakfast, Zuo Zuo devoured it and wiped his mouth: "Senior brother, I want to go and send some breakfast to Brother Dai, can I?" ”

The Grand Commander was embarrassed and didn't speak, how should he answer this, this is Ling'er's palace, the royal breakfast.

"Go ahead, bring more, you should be able to eat at this age." Ah Jue smiled to resolve the embarrassment.

As if he had been ordered, he ran away with a cigarette from his food.

Ling'er hadn't spoken since Qi Dai's time, she thought that she hadn't done anything wrong, why did Ah Jue treat herself with that look, as if she had made a mistake.

"Your Highness, the minister has eaten, go first, His Highness will eat slowly, and the horse master will eat slowly." The Grand Commander also left.

The master and the sixth uncle also left after eating. Now there are really only Ah Jue and Ling'er still eating there, Ling'er feels that she is right, she is misunderstood and does not explain, and she keeps eating without speaking. Ah Jue felt that Ling'er was deceiving him, and he didn't feel good in his heart, and he didn't speak, he kept eating. It was really the first time since the two of them got better that they ate a whole meal in silence like this.

After eating, Ling'er got up and wiped her mouth and was about to leave, Ah Jue grabbed her hand: "Don't you explain it to me?" ”

"I didn't do anything wrong, if you doubt me, I must explain. I explain whether you believe it or not, his Tanhualang was asked for him, and his secretary Lang was also asked by me for him, but at that time I just liked his writing, I really don't know who he is, I only found out yesterday, I asked my father to change it, my father said that I have been asking for so long, why do I suddenly want to change, I really can't say why, is it because he is like Qi Rong? I'll only explain this time, believe it or not, I didn't do anything wrong, I didn't lie to you, and I didn't do anything wrong. Ling'er stood there and didn't look at Ah Jue, let him hold his hand.

"You say you're right, am I wrong? What Zuo Zuo said is true, so why didn't you tell me last night? Ah Jue's heart was very sour.

"You don't believe me." Ling'er was still speaking as if she were reasoning.

"I believe you, and you treat me like this?" Ah Jue held her, afraid that she would run away, and didn't even give herself a chance to quarrel.

"What's wrong with me, I'm afraid that you will be angry, but I really didn't mean to, I was thinking about waiting a few days to find a reason to change his place and change things......" Ling'er finally admitted her mistake, turned around and took the other hand to hold Ah Jue. Ah Jue hugged her in his arms: "I'm so sour." "Pointing to his heart.

"You misunderstood me, Ah Jue, I really didn't." Ling'er bit her lower lip.

Ah Jue patted her: "Okay, let's go." Go to the morning province, and then go to the Taishi to study. ”

The two of them were a little weird today, they didn't talk to each other about unnecessary things, and they didn't say a word on the way from the emperor and empress to the Taishi Teaching Office.

When he arrived at Taishi, Qi Dai was already standing at the door waiting. After Ling'er and Ah Jue came in, he saluted the two of them in turn, Ah Jue deliberately embarrassed people for the first time, and did not ask him to get up, Ling'er raised his eyes and looked at Ah Jue, Ah Jue still didn't mean to call him up.

"Secretary Lang, you come and grind for Lone." Ling'er didn't want to make trouble outside, how embarrassing, so she called Qi Dai to get up and grind for her, in fact, if Ling'er didn't shout at this time, Ah Jue would also call him up, but Ling'er asked him to get up, which meant that it changed again, and Ling'er favored him.

After Qi Dai stood up, he lowered his head and walked to Ling'er's table to stand and grind for her.

"I'm also bothering the secretary Lang to grind it for me." Waiting for Qi Dai to give Ling'er just a good study of Mo Ajue to speak to him, originally Ling'er's eyes were not on Qi Dai, this shout, Ling'er stared at Qi Dai for a while, his eyes seemed to be looking at Qi Dai and didn't seem to be looking at Qi Dai. Ah Jue's vinegar strength was even greater, and he picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, and 'accidentally' fell Qi Dai's face.

"This ...... Secretary Lang should go back and change his clothes. When Ah Jue saw his masterpiece, his mouth opened into an oh shape.

Ling'er didn't speak, Qi Dai didn't dare to go, didn't dare to wipe, the Taishi couldn't stand it, hummed a few times, and shouted to them to pay attention to the class.

Ling'er turned her face and whispered to Xiao Taoxin, who walked up to Qi Dai and said, "Your Highness asked you to go home and come back tomorrow." After speaking, he walked out of the teaching office with Qi Dai.
