As expected, although He Fang violated the law of the country, there was nothing wrong with it.

After all, this is a good official for the country and the people.

A group of candidates and people are grateful to him, and Xiao Mingrui also praised him, although I don't know if it's sincere, but in this period of time, He Fang is the most beautiful official in Beijing.

Because of the all-night answering papers of the candidates, coupled with such an inexplicable fire, the second exam did not last too long according to the original regulations.

After checking that all the candidates had completed the test papers, Xiao Mingrui ended the second session, and even announced that the third written exam would be set for two days later, that is, on August 16.

encountered an inexplicable fire, and the candidates' energy was consumed a lot, so Xiao Mingrui gave the world a favor.

Give two days to let the candidates recuperate, soothe their mood, and by the way, they can also have a Mid-Autumn Festival, chant poems to express their feelings, and praise Xiao Mingrui's humanitarian spirit.

This is really helpful for his 'benevolent' character.

"Something hypocritical."

After listening to Lin Feng's confession, Ye Qingli looked disdainful, and Linglong was a little puzzled, "Who is the princess talking about?" ”

Could it be that the prince is talking about it?

But since yesterday, the prince has never appeared?

Lin Feng generally knew what Ye Qingli was targeting, so he didn't say much, but said respectfully, "Princess, today is the fifteenth, and there is a palace banquet in the evening, and you and the prince are going to participate." ”

"yes, I see."

Ye Qingli nodded, and felt as if she had been stabbed by something, and her heart hurt.

It's not that she was hurt by the person she once loved and felt that it was difficult to get out, but that she was now full of hatred and irrepressible guilt, tormenting her heart all the time.

Master, Master, and all of her brothers and sisters died because of her willfulness!

What will she have to do to atone for this sin in her heart?

But now, she can't do anything yet, she can only watch the two murderers who hurt people, sitting high, enjoying singing and dancing and worshipping hundreds of officials!

She hates it!

Hate yourself for being incompetent, hate fate for playing tricks!

If it was God's punishment, she would rather go to hell and suffer than suffer in her heart every day......

However, only in this way can she always remember who caused that disaster, isn't it?

After all, fate is really merciless.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Linglong's surprised voice suddenly sounded, and Ye Qingli realized that she was actually crying.

Lin Feng looked inexplicable, although he didn't know the 'inside story' like Xiao Tingyi, but he also knew that she seemed to have something to do with the royal family, but this was the master's business, and he didn't want to ask more.

So, he just said respectfully, "Before the dinner, you have to worship the ancestors, the etiquette is complicated, you and the prince must arrive at the palace early as a royal family, please prepare early." ”

"Okay, I got it."

nodded, but the voice made by opening his mouth was a little hoarse, as if with endless bitterness and vicissitudes.

Lin Fengrao had a cold face, and he also felt that something seemed wrong, but he could only pretend to be indifferent, "The subordinates have retired." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.

Because he felt that the princess's abnormality had to be reported to the prince.

Linglong's mind is simple but transparent, and she can feel her emotions clearly, and she can't help but feel extremely distressed, so she hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and asked cautiously, "Princess, if you are unhappy in your heart, just say it, and the slave and maid can share your worries for you, and if you don't say it all the time, you will suffocate everyone." ”

"Thank you."

The exquisite warmth made Ye Qingli sober up from the fire of hatred for the time being, so he pulled out a smile at her again, and said, "Go and let the kitchen prepare some osmanthus flowers, let's make some osmanthus cakes." ”

"Yes!"

As soon as she heard that Ye Qingli was going to do something, Linglong was very happy to arrange it.

Because, this will also allow her to divert her attention.

Linglong didn't know what Ye Qingli was worried about, she just thought that it was because of Xiao Tingyi's relationship that Ye Qingli's mood was always so sad.

But the process of making osmanthus cake is warm and joyful.

When the sun set, after the sweet and soft osmanthus cake was freshly baked, Ye Qingli personally sent some to Mama Gui and Mama Qian, because she made a lot, she asked Linglong to prepare a gift box, and after putting some up, she distributed the rest to everyone in the house.

The people couldn't help but be overjoyed and thanked her again and again, but Ye Qingli couldn't help but think of Fu'an.

Where's that stupid boy?

Naturally, she wouldn't believe Xiao Tingyi's so-called 'Fu'an left by himself', and she calculated that he was not worried about his life, but she didn't know where he was at the moment and whether he was doing well.

Towards evening, Lin Feng came again.

"Princess, it's time for us to go, the prince is waiting for you in the car."

"Okay."

Ye Qingli had already finished dressing up, so she explained to Linglong, "You can't go to the palace banquet, so go to enjoy the moon with Mama Gui, I will come back soon." ”

"Princess, stay safe."

Linglong was afraid and cautious of the palace, so she told her uneasily.

"Naturally, don't worry."

Ye Qingli patted her hand and left with Lin Feng, but Linglong insisted on sending it to the door of the mansion, watching her get into the carriage, and then reluctantly went back to find Mama Gui.

The carriage moved smoothly, and the carriage swayed like a cradle.

Because it is August 15, Ye Qingli has to dress up to attend, Ye Qingli changed into a palace satin flowing fairy skirt in the color of Epeilan, the neckline and cuffs are intertwined with purple and gold ruyi patterns, and the skirt is a large magnolia flower, which looks rich and fragrant, and quiet as a cloud.

Between the black buns, a set of hairpins flashed like a flowing glow, as if a little shining star fell into the deep sea, and the matching gold bead earrings swayed back and forth, like a pendulum, calculating the time when they were about to arrive at the palace.

Xiao Tingyi silently looked at her earrings, and couldn't help but look at her slender and white neck, and then down the plump and graceful figure.

Ye Qingli felt his gaze, but she didn't speak, just looked at him, her gaze was calm.

After being caught, His Royal Highness Xianwang couldn't hang up, so he pretended to cough lightly, hiding his embarrassment, looked at the brocade box on her lap, and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Mid-Autumn Festival gifts for Your Majesty and Concubine Yue."

Ye Qingli stroked the lid of the brocade box with one hand, and smiled a little brightly.

"Hmph, it's going to be a sycophant."

Xiao Tingyi didn't know that she made osmanthus cakes.

Mother Qian and Mama Gui both received it, and the subordinates in the entire house also had a share, and even she was ready for the two of them, but there was no him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tingyi's heart began to feel uncomfortable again.

(Lin Feng: Lord Wang, my subordinates haven't eaten it either!) ）

"That's nature."

Ye Qingli smiled, as if she was deliberately angry with him, "Thanks to Your Majesty's marriage, I have this life of fine clothes and food, Your Majesty is simply a living Buddha, I naturally have to do my best to prepare gifts." ”

"Nonsense."

Xiao Tingyi looked at her, "Have you forgotten how your master died?" ”

Before he knew it, he was even more angry.

At this moment, his eyes were like dark demons surging up from the abyss, with an inexplicable coldness and contempt.

kept saying that he wanted to avenge her, but now he regards Xiao Mingrui as a parent!

How could she accept such a shameless apprentice!

And Ye Qingli just replied with a smile, "Lord Wang, do you believe it?" ”

Xiao Tingyi immediately frowned.

Well, once again, she was easily provoked.

But invisibly, he actually put everything Ye Qingli said into his heart and took it as a fact, although he said that he didn't believe it, but he didn't hesitate at all in his heart.

Or maybe he didn't doubt her at all.

What a beep dog, what's going on?

Xiao Tingyi couldn't help muttering in his heart, and at this time, he heard Ye Qingli say again, "Lord Wang, tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, I'm afraid it will be very exciting, right?" ”

Xiao Tingyi temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his heart and looked at her, "If you want to do something now, it is the greatest stupidity." ”

"What did the prince say?"

Ye Qingli raised her eyebrows, "I'm just afraid that the banquet will be boring, and I just want to inquire about what programs will be, after all, I, a subordinate person, have participated in the palace banquet for the first time, and I haven't seen it." ”

Xiao Tingyi snorted noncommittally, "Only when this king believes in you can he have a ghost." ”

"Whatever the prince wants."

Ye Qingli's index fingers of both hands tapped on the lid of the brocade box, making a light 'tuk-tuk' sound, and raised her good-looking chin and smiled, "For such a festive season, I must give my heart well and win the favor of His Majesty and the noble concubine." ”

Xiao Tingyi looked at her for a while, as if he understood something, and didn't speak again.

Time slipped away in the harmonious silence of the two.

"Lord and Princess, we have arrived."

Because the palace banquet was crowded and mixed, except for the people attending the banquet, all the guards and slaves were not allowed to follow into the palace, and even if Lin Feng acted as a coachman in person, he could only send it to the palace gate.

"Hmm."

Xiao Tingyi responded, got out of the car first, and walked in front with a swagger.

Behind him, Ye Qingli was holding a half-sized brocade box in his arms, stumbling all the way to trot, but he still couldn't catch up with him.

And Xiao Tingyi didn't care about him at all, he walked fast, and disappeared after a while.

So, Ye Qingli seemed to slow down a little sadly, lowered his head, and walked on the road in disappointment.

In the eyes of others, this is the best proof that Xiao Tingyi is extremely unwilling to see this princess, and some adults with wives have passed by one after another, more or less, they are a little embarrassed about what happened to her.

Of course, this is just the result of their deliberate creation for outsiders to see, and now Ye Qingli is very safe as long as he plays an admirer of Xiao Mingrui and Song Yue'er well.

She no longer cares about other people's eyes, and the clearest thing in her heart is the word 'revenge'.

But as he walked, he remembered a voice behind him.

"Idle princess? If you don't mind, can you join us? ”
