Xia Ze looked at Yun Chi, it was precisely because he was eleven years old and had a smart mind that Yun Chi gave him this important task.

Imagine that a young child was sent to the Hanlin Academy from the East Palace, even if the courtiers had a lot of complaints, they would think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the one who cultivated them, and they would not think of his true purpose.

He originally thought that he would have to stay in the East Palace for a few years before he had a chance, but he didn't expect that he would have a chance so soon.

Xia Ze was excited in his heart, looked at Yun Chi, knocked deeply, and his eyebrows were firm, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, I must be cautious when I enter the Hanlin Academy." ”

Yun Chi nodded and said softly, "Don't be in a hurry, after you go in, learn things first, and when no one pays attention to you, after you stand still, check slowly." ”

Xia Ze understood that when he entered the Hanlin Academy at such a young age, he was naturally in the limelight, and he always needed a process of being stopped by people after gaining a foothold. During this period, he couldn't reveal his purpose at all, otherwise, he didn't have to say anything, he understood that he was afraid that he would go in and come out sideways.

"Go ahead, get ready, in three days, I will send you to the Hanlin Academy." Yun Chi waved his hand.

Xia Ze bowed his head, bowed to Yun Chi in a proper manner, and walked out of the study.

After walking out of the study, as soon as the cold wind blew, Xia Ze realized that the earth dragon in the study was too warm, and the night wind outside in the winter was too cold, but the heat in his heart was soaring like the earth dragon in the study, very hot.

Xiao Zhongzi came out and asked Xia Ze, "Little boy, did the slave send you back?" ”

Xia Ze waved his hand and shook his head, "Thank you, father-in-law, no need, I'll go back by myself." ”

Seeing that he refused, Xiao Zhongzi handed him the palace lamp in his hand and instructed, "It's dark and the road is slippery, you slow down." ”

Xia Ze nodded, thanked him again, and walked back to the courtyard where he lived with the palace lamp.

Xiao Zhongzi stood at the door of the study and watched Xia Ze walk away, secretly thinking that the eleven-year-old little boy, a few years younger than him, was sent to the Hanlin Academy by His Royal Highness the Prince.

Xia Ze returned to his residence, An Sixteen and An Seventeen were waiting at the door, seeing him come back, his little face was flushed, I don't know if it was the cold wind or because of what, under the palace lamp, his eyebrows and eyes were flying, An Seventeen took a step forward, patted Xia Ze on the shoulder, and asked with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is looking for you late at night, what's the good thing?" ”

Xia Ze hesitated for a moment and didn't speak.

"Can't tell?" Ann Seventeen raised an eyebrow.

Xia Ze glanced back, there was no one else except An Sixteen and An Seventeen, and he said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to arrange for me to enter the Hanlin Academy." ”

An Sixteen and An Seventeen were taken aback, looking at Xia Ze, at such an age, he entered the Hanlin Academy, is this going against the sky? The two were puzzled, An Sixteen frowned, "Why?" Your Highness has something to say. ”

Xia Ze pursed his lips, was silent for a while, and shook his head, "This matter is important and needs to be kept secret, and the two brothers forgive the sin, so don't say it for the time being." When the words fell, he added, "If Your Highness doesn't hide it from Sister Yan, the two elder brothers will ask Sister Yan, can't Your Highness just give me an errand and say it from my mouth." ”

An Sixteen and An Seventeen glanced at each other, because when the two of them left from Lin'an, the young lady specially instructed Xia Ze to take care of him, so Yun Chi called Xia Ze out late at night, and the two of them asked one or two, he was young after all.

Now hearing Xia Ze say this, An Sixteen praised, "Well, since this matter is important, you can't talk about it at will, you shouldn't say it to us, you are right, otherwise it will not be a secret matter to anyone." ”

An Qiqi also nodded and asked, "Is it dangerous?" ”

Xia Ze thought for a while and said, "I'm cautious, it should be fine, once the purpose is exposed, there may be real danger." ”

An Qiqi patted Xia Ze on the shoulder again, "Be smart, according to what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, it will be fine, His Highness will never harm you, since he chose you, there must be a reason for him." ”

Xia Ze bowed his head, Yun Chi chose him, because he took a fancy to two points, one is that he is young, and others may not be able to defend him, and the other is that he is smart and calm, not naïve and easy to bully.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said when will you go to the Hanlin Academy?" Ann Sixteen asked.

"Three days later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will arrange." Xia Zedao.

An Sixteen nodded and waved his hand, "Go to bed early!" Hanlin Temple is a good place, but it is also a difficult place to stand, these three days are ready, and when you go in, you will be ready to deal with it with all your spirits. ”

Xia Ze nodded and went back to the room.

An Qiqi sighed and looked at Tiandao, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not easy, on the second day of the wedding, he is still in the study at such a late date. ”

An Sixteen also looked at Tiandao, "The people behind it have not been found out for a day, the situation of the Southern Chu Dynasty has been unstable for a day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried about Sheji, and the young master is also worried." When to find out the person behind it, clear the situation, and the world is safe, when will it not be so difficult. ”

"Let's look at the length of time, the person behind it has been hidden for too long, Gongzi has mobilized everyone, with the help of our family, we haven't found out so far, I'm afraid some of them have survived." An XVII retracted his gaze.

An Sixteen said, "In any case, it is our first priority to protect the young master, and the prince before leaving has explained, because of the matter in the north, the people behind him hate the young master, even if the wedding goes well, but we must not be careless." ”

An Seventeen nodded, "Just keep the young master every step of the way." ”

Huayan slept until midnight and woke up hungry, she ate a meal a day today, Yun Chi let her sleep at night, and now she woke up and touched her side, the bedding was cold, and there was no Yun Chi's breath in the house, she sat up and shouted to the outside, "Cai Qing?" ”

"The slave is here." Cai Qing immediately responded, pushed open the door, walked in, turned the lamp, looked at Hua Yan and asked, "Crown Princess, are you hungry?" The kitchen is always ready for you. ”

Hua Yan nodded, "What about His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Cai Qing immediately said, "After His Highness sent you back, he sat with you for a long time and went to the study again. The words fell, adding, "Your Highness didn't have dinner in the evening. ”

Hua Yan stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, "It's all my fault, I even let him be hungry with me." The words fell, and he instructed her, "Go to the study and call him back, it's late at night, and people are not beaten by iron, how can you do without eating and resting?" ”

"Yes." Cai Qing nodded and went immediately.

Mama Fang and the others didn't stop, and when they heard that Hua Yan had woken up, they hurriedly ordered the kitchen to cook and bring the dishes.

After Xia Ze left, Yun Chi summoned several East Palace staff members to discuss the matter of sending Xia Ze to the Hanlin Academy. The staff were also shocked by His Royal Highness the Prince's arrangement of Xia Ze, but on the day of His Royal Highness the Prince's wedding, although Xia Ze was young, his performance was very outstanding, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deliberately cultivated him to enter the Hanlin Academy, in order to be of great use in the future.

After the staff left, someone came to tell the princess that she had woken up and asked Her Highness to go back, and Yun Chi immediately left the study.

Xiao Zhongzi followed behind and quietly slapped his shoulder and thought, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dealt with the affairs of the court, just like a desperate Saburo and fought like an iron fight, but fortunately, with the princess in charge in the future, he would also be more relaxed.

Yun Chi returned to Phoenix East Garden, and saw that Hua Yan was already sitting at the table waiting for him, wearing a water-red light and soft dress, green silk up to his waist, playing with the wick with his bare hands under the light, looking peaceful, graceful and quiet.

He paused in his steps, thinking in his mind that in the past, when he returned to his residence after his daily routine of work, although there were dragons burning in the house, lamps were burning, and people were waiting in and out of the house, he felt very deserted.

Since his mother's death, he has felt lonely, and when his aunt left five years ago, he felt even more cold around him.

Now, Hua Yan is sitting in the house like this, which seems to warm the whole room, making him also swept away his fatigue and warmed his body.

Hua Yan raised her eyes and saw Yun Chi standing at the door, looking at him infatuatedly, her eyebrows were surging with emotion, and she chuckled, "What are you doing standing there stupidly?" Haven't come in yet? Aren't you hungry? ”

Yun Chi then remembered that he didn't have dinner, at that time, in the study with her, she was tired and fell asleep, he had no appetite, now listening to her, he felt a little hungry, he came back to his senses, smiled lowly, walked up to the threshold, bypassed her chair, and reached out to hug her from behind.

Hua Yan approached him in his arms and asked with a smile, "What were you thinking just now?" ”

Yun Chi lowered his head and kissed her slender neck, smelled the fragrance on her body, and whispered, "I'm thinking, I finally have a home." ”

Hua Yan's heart was touched, in the last life, for her catastrophe, her grandfather detained her, and she never felt too much of a home. Although Lin'an Hua's family is lively and peaceful, she has learned everything she has learned in the forbidden land all the year round, and she is very lonely, and she can appreciate that feeling very well.

She turned her head, hugged him tightly with her backhand, patted her on the back, and said with a smile, "Yun Chi, congratulations on having a home, let's have two drinks." ”

Yun Chi smiled, "Okay." ”

Mama Fang quickly put the meal on the table, Yun Chi and Hua Yan sat down next to each other, tacitly picking up vegetables with each other, because the night was late, I didn't dare to use too much, after eating, Hua Yan rested for a while, and drank a bowl of medicine, although she didn't feel much sleepy, but she knew that Yun Chi had to rest, so she pulled Yun Chi to bed and rested again.
