Chapter 42: Guess the Word

Zheng Han and Zheng Qi were still outside the door when they heard the laughter of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince from inside the hall.

The two men looked at each other.

Before they came, they had already discussed, the Fourth Highness was so seriously injured, and now his legs and feet are inconvenient and he can't go anywhere in the house, so he must be in a bad mood. If he loses his temper and reprimands them or even beats them, they will have to bear it.

To be honest, compared to the others who followed His Highness out that day, they were already very lucky. He was not imprisoned, he was not tortured, although he was repeatedly re-examined and checked several times by the internal guards, and he was also subjected to family law at home, but he saved his life, as long as the four princes can forgive them here, their future should not be greatly affected in the future.

They also brought in a companion to strengthen their courage.

Well, the brother surnamed Li Mingzheng who was brought in, although he has not been studying in Xifeng Hall for a short time, but he is not only talented and learned, but his character and demeanor are also heartbreaking, His Royal Highness and He can talk very well, and today I brought him together, I also hope that he can make peace from it, so that His Highness will not be so angry with the two of them.

Li Zheng listened to the laughter in the hall, and was also a little surprised, and said softly: "It sounds like His Highness is in a good mood." ”

The two Zheng brothers nodded again and again.

This is a good sign and their luck. It's really the right time today, taking advantage of His Highness's good mood, they will confess their guilt and admit their mistakes, His Highness probably won't be very serious about admitting to them, so he will gently expose this matter.

As soon as Li Zheng saw the joy on their faces, he knew what the Zheng brothers were thinking.

Mao De came out of it, although he was only a low-level eunuch serving His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, but the Zheng brothers had always been polite to him, and at this time the two hurriedly greeted him, one match and the other polite.

"Father-in-law Mao, how is the Fourth Highness doing recently?"

"Grandpa Mao, we haven't been able to visit His Highness these days, I wonder if His Highness blames us?"

Maud smiled. The Zheng brothers were a little frizzy, but His Royal Highness picked their brothers among the selected people at that time, thinking that their brothers had their own strengths that His Highness valued. This time, His Royal Highness fell from power, and Mao De blamed the two brothers in his heart. If these two are powerless sour scholars, then they are not to blame. However, the two brothers of the Zheng family were both born in Jiangmen, and they couldn't study, but they practiced archery on archery and horses, if they were more attentive, His Royal Highness might be able to avoid this difficulty.

Li Zheng saw that Mao De's face was not good, and the Zheng brothers looked at him for help, cleared his throat, and said politely: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness once instructed me to find two books at the beginning of the month. It's just that the three of us came unfortunately, and I'm afraid that His Highness won't be available at this time. ”

Mao De didn't dare to be rude to Li Zheng.

In the past, when Mao De was waiting for the Fourth Highness to go to the study hall, he had seen the Fourth Highness talking to this Li Gongzi, and he was very polite to him, which was different from others.

Mao De went in and came out after a while: "Li Gongzi, two Zheng Gongzi, Your Highness is invited." ”

Liu Yan and Liu Jing each had a piece of silk veil on their eyes, and they were guessing the number plate in front of them. Whether it is playing chess or playing cards, Liu Yan is not good at it. However, the game proposed by Liu Jing is very fair to both of them - the words on the jade plate are recessed, and you can feel the handwriting on it when you touch it with your fingers, but it is not so easy to find out what the words are, Liu Fang held a pen on the side and testified for them.

There are already seven or eight word cards in the box next to Liu Jing, Liu Yan only has three, and the word on the fourth piece has a lot of strokes, she touched and touched, but it was still difficult to determine what the word was.

Someone came in, and she heard it, but at this time, she was picking out the words seriously, and she really couldn't pay attention to the person who came.

Li Zheng and the others came in and saw the four princes and the two princesses playing cards there, so they didn't rush forward to disturb, stood aside and watched the excitement.

Li Zheng has the best eyesight, he can see the words on the plates in front of the fourth prince clearly, and then look at the records made by the third princess on the paper.

Something strange...... Three of these words are wrong.

Li Zheng's days of studying in Xifeng Hall are not long, but the kung fu of these few months is enough for him to get to know his classmates, especially several princes. The eldest prince has already opened a mansion and is not coming to the study, let alone him. The second prince and the third prince have little talent in studying, especially the third prince, who was born to practice martial arts, and when he picked up the book, he frowned sadly, as if he had suffered a great sin.

Only the four princes are different. Not only is he smarter and smarter than his two brothers, but he is also willing to work hard. The words on this card are not cold, it is not difficult for him at all, three out of seven words are wrong, this should not be.

Li Zheng was puzzled, and when his gaze swirled on the four princes, he suddenly realized.

The fourth prince picked up the name card and groped for the handwriting on it unhurriedly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, obviously not taking the victory or defeat to heart. Look at the princess on the side again, both hands are used, frowning and gritting her teeth, looking at the same word as the bar.

This word guessing is too simple and easy for the four princes, and it is more suitable for beginners who do not read and write much, and the four princes are obviously to make the princess happy, not to seek victory.

Liu Fang turned her head and saw Li Zheng standing aside the Zheng brothers, she had seen the Zheng brothers before, but the young man who came with them was the first time she had seen them. Although he was a stranger, his face and eyebrows made Liu Fang feel familiar.

Liu Fang held the pen and was slightly distracted, Liu Yan finally made up his mind, and put the name card in his hand on the table: "It's the word fennel." ”

Liu Fang came back to his senses, glanced at the name card, then looked at Liu Yan, and asked, "Are you sure?" Is it still changing? ”

Liu Yan was asked by her like this, and her heart inevitably wavered.

But this word delayed her work for half a day, and she didn't have time to touch the cards behind it, so she lost steadily.

She gritted her teeth and said, "No, I won't change it." ”

Let go of the nameplate, she hurried to touch the next one.

She herself couldn't see it blindfolded, but Li and Zheng, who were standing on the side, could clearly see what the word was.

The princess guessed wrong.

Zheng Qi glanced at his cousin...... Do you want to be reminded of this?

Looking more closely, the three words that the fourth princess guessed in front of her were also wrong, and only one word was guessed correctly.

Ten words for one person, Liu Jing tried his best to release the water, and finally became the winner with an absolute advantage, Liu Yan only got four out of ten words, these four words are very simple words, she can't touch it if it's a little more complicated, it's plausible, almost all of them rely on guessing, it's strange to win.

Hearing Liu Fang announce the result, Liu Jing took off the silk cloth covering his eyes, and said to Li Zheng and the Zheng brothers who were saluting: "No need to be polite, why did the three of you come together?" ”
