Now that the candidates for the chief examiner of the imperial examination have been selected, there is no need for several princes to stay, and Emperor Xia waved his hand and asked them to leave the palace.

Xiao Jing was so annoyed that he threw his sleeves and left first.

Xiao Yiheng hated Xiao Rui because of Yan Xiaoxiao's matter, but today he was "helped" by Xiao Rui, and his mind immediately became active, after all, he found after investigation that the relationship between Xiao Rui and Yan Xiaoxiao was only limited to saving and being rescued, and the two did not develop further, and he Xiao Yiheng hated Xiao Rui because of this matter, and he was a little dizzy.

So he took the opportunity to slow down, walked in front of Xiao Rui, and said with a smile: "Seventh brother, thank you for speaking up today, can you be free today, go to my house for a glass of water and wine?" Your sister-in-law has been talking about you for many days. ”

Xiao Rui looked at Xiao Yiheng, and really wanted to give him a brick and let him know why the flowers were so red! I used to regard me as an enemy, but now I am a brother and a brother again, and sure enough, all men except myself are big pig's trotters!

"Okay, then bother the second brother." Xiao Rui smiled, looking flattered.

"The host is so cheap." The system couldn't help but jump out a few characters.

Xiao Rui ignored the jealousy of the system, it was jealous of his ability to stretch and bend, he wanted to be big, and he was small if he wanted to be small!

As an excellent man, this is the quality that should be excellent.

Xiao Yiheng was very satisfied with Xiao Rui's attitude, his tone was even kinder, and he even looked at Xiao Yan very pleasantly, and asked, "Ninth brother, do you want to be together?" ”

Xiao Yan nodded first, and then shook his head: "No, I made an appointment with a friend today, and you can talk." The second brother, the seventh brother, and the younger brother are one step ahead. ”

After speaking, Xiao Yan hurried away, and blinked his left eye at Xiao Rui as he left, as if asking, "Seventh brother, what the hell are you doing?" ”

Xiao Rui gave him a look: "It's your business!" ”

Out of the palace, Xiao Rui got into his carriage and went to the palace of the king of Chu.

When he came to the Chu Palace, Xiao Rui followed Xiao Yiheng into the mansion, and he knocked on the side of the chatter: "I'm bothering the second brother today, is my sister-in-law at home?" ”

Xiao Yiheng said with a smile: "It shouldn't be there, the palace is too stuffy, I will hand over my mother's garden to your sister-in-law to take care of, she has been there a lot recently." ”

"Indeed, the royal brother is busy with affairs, unable to accompany his sister-in-law, Jingyuan is the first of the twelve gardens in the national capital, the scenery is beautiful, the sister-in-law takes care of it, while being able to kill time, while being able to place affection on the scenery, and music to accompany it, it is much better than going to a famous workshop in the capital." Xiao Rui said deliberately, believing that Li Xiu'er was already happy to go back to the palace.

Xiao Yiheng nodded in agreement: "What the seventh brother said is right, I can rest assured that your sister-in-law is in Jingyuan, you can also go to Jingyuan to play when you have nothing to do one day, and you will treat it as your home." ”

"The second brother is not here, how can I go to Jingyuan alone, won't it be criticized." Xiao Rui decisively refused.

Xiao Yiheng smiled: "Haha... Among the brothers, the second brother knows the etiquette best, let's go and eat. ”

came to the main hall and sat down, Xiao Yiheng arranged wine, food, singing and dancing, and the two chatted.

Chatting and chatting, Xiao Yiheng brought the topic to Yan Xiaoxiao.

"Seventh brother, what do you mean when you say that your father left Yan Xiaoxiao in the Heart Cultivation Hall as a pen-wielding official?" Xiao Yiheng asked.

Xiao Rui's face was not different, and he said casually: "What else do you mean, it's important, after all, it is almost impossible for a female official to enter the Heart Palace on an errand, has the second brother forgotten Concubine De?" ”

"Concubine De?" Xiao Yiheng's face changed.

Concubine De is Xiao Yan's mother, once also entered the palace as a servant, although she is a woman, but she can speak well, literary and talented, once she also served in the Palace of Nourishing Heart, and finally was fortunate by His Majesty, admitted to the harem, and then rose all the way, talented, concubine until the current concubine.

Although Yan Xiaoxiao is not very old, she is beautiful and has already grown up, and if she waits for a few years, she will inevitably come out of the country, Tianxiang, who is clever and intelligent, such a woman is favored by Emperor Xia, and it is almost a matter of course.

Xiao Rui felt that it was normal, but for Xiao Yiheng, his heart at this moment was like a group of grass and mud horses galloping by, almost trampling on the ground.

The more he can't get it, the more he dreams of it, Xiao Yiheng every time he goes to ask for peace, peeks at Yan Xiaoxiao's face that looks down and looks sideways, he sighs and regrets, why is such a beauty not his own?

Xiao Rui took his expression into his eyes, and couldn't help but admire, sure enough, it was a man who was sad about the beauty, Xiao Yiheng was caught in a magic barrier, and it seemed that he was fascinated by Yan Xiaoxiao.

But it is understandable, I remember watching a TV series in my previous life, after the change in Xuanwumen, the first thing Li Shimin did when he broke into the palace was not to sit on the dragon chair, but to run to the East Palace and pamper the favorite concubine of the prince Li Jiancheng.

Jiangshan and beauties, always two hurdles that men can't get over, unlike themselves, like... Phew, I like beauties myself.

After Xiao Yiheng's face changed, he couldn't help but ask: "My father is old, will he still spoil her?" ”

Xiao Rui coughed lightly and said, "Second brother, what did you say?" I didn't hear that. How can the affairs of the father be discussed as a son of man? ”

Xiao Yiheng reacted suddenly, and secretly scolded himself for not paying attention for a while, and actually said the wrong thing, if Xiao Rui took advantage of this matter tomorrow to make trouble, his father would inevitably have a gap in his heart.

However, Xiao Rui pretended not to hear it, which made Xiao Yiheng's attitude towards Xiao Rui much better.

"Seventh brother, drink and drink, I drank too much, and I just talked nonsense." Xiao Yiheng hurriedly poured wine for him.

Xiao Rui stretched out his hand to express his gratitude, then served wine and drank with him, and then deliberately asked: "Second brother, in the Heart Cultivation Hall today, King Jing seems to have deliberately stumbled, I don't know why." ”

The purpose of asking this question is naturally to make Xiao Yiheng associate himself, and people's imagination is very rich.

Xiao Yiheng couldn't help but guess: "King Jing worshiped under Mrs. Qiu and got to know a lot of Confucian scholars, so he eagerly hoped that his people could win the chief examiner of the imperial examination, so that he could establish his reputation." King Jing is not selecting talents for the sake of Great Xia's national politics, but for selfish desires, how can I let him succeed? For today's events, I have to thank the seventh brother. ”

"As the second brother said, I also considered it from the perspective of the country, so I spoke up, even before I went to the Heart Cultivation Palace, the eighth brother specially found me and asked me to fight against the second brother with him, how can I be such a person! But the second brother should be careful of the eighth brother, he didn't succeed this time, I'm worried that he will have another plan, you have to guard against it. Xiao Rui said with concern.

Xiao Yiheng nodded, added wine to Xiao Rui, and said, "Okay!" Thank you for the reminder from the seventh brother, the second brother has written it down! ”

The two of them staggered, and after drinking for most of the hour, Xiao Rui said goodbye and returned home.

As soon as Xiao Rui left, Xiao Yiheng, who was drunk and hazy, came to his senses.

"Check Xiao Jing, be careful that he still has a conspiracy! I have to guard against it! Xiao Yiheng said.

Behind the screen not far away, a figure swayed: "Okay! ”

Xiao Yiheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you think of this Xian King?" ”

"Can't see through! It stands to reason that even if he catches up with the champion marquis, he will not have much impact on His Royal Highness, although the champion marquis is not simple, but he is loyal to His Majesty, not to King Xian. The person behind the screen organized the language and said: "However, the spies came to report, and there were masters in the Xianwang Mansion one after another, so that people could not see the way out." Especially Mr. Jia, the henchman of King Xian, although this person does not show the landscape, he is by no means an ordinary person, so he must be guarded against. ”

Xiao Yiheng nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, who doesn't have one or two masters in the mansion to take refuge, if not, this king really can't look down on him!" He will leave Beijing after the New Year, which is already a sure thing, reduce the attention to King Xian, and the primary target is still the eldest prince! Now, add a King Jing! If King Jing doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, then he will be ruthless! Do you really think you can compete with my strength? Joke! ”

"Good!" The man behind the screen chuckled.

Xiao Rui had just arrived at the Chu Palace, and then he couldn't wait to open the system and began to descend.

"Advent, please wait..."

"Advent, please wait..."

Xiao Rui's carriage had just left the gate of the Chu Palace, and when he was about to turn, he suddenly collided head-on with a faster carriage.

Frightened, the carriage on the opposite side hurriedly pulled the reins, and then heard the groom roar: "What kind of carriage are you, how do you drive!" Scared the hell out of me! ”

Wu Zhanfa glared, jumped up and stepped lightly on the horse's back, jumped onto the opponent's carriage, and then gave the groom a slap, letting him know that he knew how good the gibberish was.

The groom fell to the ground, and then he saw the words Xianwangfu on the carriage, and he was so frightened that he lay on the ground and did not dare to move, for fear of suffering from flesh and skin again.

And the owner in the carriage opposite lifted the curtain and walked out.

Xiao Rui saw this person clearly through the gap, hey, isn't this Zhou Mingwen, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites?

Zhou Mingwen stepped out of the carriage and saw that it was the carriage of the Xianwang Mansion, and it must be the Xianwang in the carriage, he hurriedly came to the King of Chu, because he had received the holy decree and ordered him to be the chief examiner of the imperial examination, so he was anxious and asked the coachman to speed up and rush to the Chu Wangfu, but he didn't expect to collide with the Xianwang.

This Lord Zhou naturally heard about what happened in the palace, Xiao Rui helped him, he naturally couldn't turn his face and deny people, not to mention that he still knew the balance of the prince.

Zhou Mingwen stepped forward and said respectfully: "Xiaguan Zhou Mingwen greets His Royal Highness King Xian!" ”

Xiao Rui ignored it, and Wu Zhanfa said: "Lord Zhou, my Royal Highness and the King of Chu are already drunk and asleep. ”

"Oh oh..."Zhou Mingwen understood: "It was a rude person just now, wait for His Highness to wake up, and express the apology of the lower official to His Highness." ”

Wu Zhanfa hugged his fists and said: "Yes!" ”

Zhou Mingwen nodded, and then walked into the Chu Palace.

Wu Zhanfa glared at the restrained horseman not far away, what kind of master there is, what kind of subordinate there is, rampage, no courtesy at all.

Frightened, the groom hurriedly led the carriage out of the street and honestly waited beside it.

"Huh? What is that? ”

At this moment, Wu Zhanfa saw a book on the ground, which seemed to have fallen from Zhou Mingwen's carriage, and the horseman who left did not notice it.

Wu Zhanfa stepped forward and picked up the book.

At the same time, Xiao Rui's mind suddenly sounded a prompt sound of the completion of the arrival!

"Ding-dong... It's coming! ”

"This Advent Category: Item Arrival!"

"Random selection of items: Yongli 23rd year will test liberal arts exam questions!"

"Open the new advent module!"

"Yongli 23rd year will take the liberal arts exam questions: This time, the Spring Exam questions were finalized by Zhou Mingwen, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who collected countless questions and carefully selected, which was his early preparation for serving as the chief examiner of the imperial examination, and now the dream is shining into reality, just waiting for His Majesty to confirm."

……

Xiao Rui sat up suddenly, this time it was really unexpected.

"Your Highness, I have picked up a question book!"

At the same time, the sound of Wu Zhanfa sounded outside the carriage.
