As for why the rumors of Tian Shuyan's misconduct when he was in his old hometown in the south of the Yangtze River suddenly spread in Chang'an City, which is thousands of miles away, Qin Xun didn't need to think about it to know that the source of the rumors must be those who went to Beijing to take the exam together. How fierce the competition in the imperial examination is, and there are small officials and children of Chang'an occupy the quota, the lifters who enter Beijing from other places can really be said to be thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge, and if they can have one less competitor, they will be able to have more opportunities, especially Tian Shuyan, who is so talented, can get him down, and the benefits to other movers can be imagined.

Seeing that Tian Shuyan has entered the top ten of Wenju with his talent and has the qualifications to enter the Taiji Palace, it is difficult to say that no one will be blushing and deliberately release these gossips about his character with bad intentions, which will somewhat frustrate the sharpness of this one-step champion of the scenery.

Otherwise, Qin Xun really couldn't think of anyone in Chang'an City who would deliberately work against the new champion Lang by spreading the news so widely, after all, he himself was not that interested in going around to tell people that the new champion Lang of Daqi had stolen a purse that did not contain much silver taels from him Qin someone on the streets of Jiangnan.

Qin Xun continued: "There are widely circulated rumors among the people, Your Majesty will not know that there are thousands of people from all over the country, and they will be selected from various states to enter Beijing, and finally be able to stand in the Taiji Palace, they must all be good at learning, I don't believe that Your Majesty will value Tian Shuyan so much just because of his talent." ”

Qi Jing pushed aside the flowers and trees in front of him to block his face: "What do you think?" ”

"I want to ......" Qin Xun hesitated, "I'm not sure, but what I can think of is, Your Majesty is looking at the face of the prince of Guangling?" ”

The amazing talent of Xi Guangling was an official when he first entered the court, the emperor actually cherished his talent, and loved him a lot, but the emperor Xu felt that Xi Guangling became famous at a young age and was afraid of his frivolous spirit, seeing that he was a little unsociable in officialdom communication, and some colleagues had the intention to exclude him The emperor did not see it in his eyes, and deliberately turned a blind eye, but he wanted to frustrate the boy's spirit, and he had the intention to reuse him, who knew that it would backfire, and when the emperor noticed that something was wrong and began to intervene to turn the tide, the prince of Guangling was tired of Chang'an officialdom, and let the emperor do everything possible to keep him. resolutely resigned and returned to his hometown.

The courtiers all know that the emperor has always regretted that he did not keep the prince of Guangling in the past few years, and Qin Xun will have something to do with the emperor's attention to Tian Shuyan and the prince of Guangling, thinking that he is looking at Tian Shuyan as the son of Guangling, and he has the intention of selling the favor of the prince of Guangling, which is also a reasonable speculation.

Qi Jing said: "Maybe there is, but it shouldn't be complete." After all, the father of Guangling Gongzi will not be ignorant, Tian Shuyan's situation The father also knows a little bit about it, even if Tian Shuyan bears the title of 'Guangling Gongzi's protégé', Guangling Gongzi has countless peaches and plums, and he can call himself a protégé if he gives him a point, and his father will not be able to weigh what a Tian Shuyan is in Guangling Gongzi's place, if you want to say that it is completely based on the face of Guangling Gongzi, it will not be. ”

Qin Xun took out the last candied fruit in the paper bag and thought about it and stuffed it into Qi Jing's mouth

"Then I can't think of anything else just yet. ”

He folded the empty paper bag a few times, threw it into the dustpan that was temporarily placed aside when the palace people were sweeping the floor not far away, and was sucking and licking the surface molasses that was stained when he was making candied fruit on the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and suddenly was held by the palm of his hand on the back of his head, and the warm and soft light pressure on his lips was warm and soft, Qi Jing crossed the last candied fruit that he had just stuffed back into his mouth: "You eat." ”

Qin Xun bent his eyes and pressed the index finger of his right hand that was still stained with molasses that he hadn't licked yet to Qi Jing's lips: "Then this is for you, do you want it?" ”

Having arrived at the gate of Jingyang Palace, the two stopped walking, Qi Jing held his hand, and the tip of his hot tongue poked out and touched his fingertips, and quickly withdrew it.

"Is it sweet?" Qin Xun asked vaguely with a candied fruit in his mouth that had not yet been chewed.

"Hmm." Qi Jing held his hand and withdrew a few points from his lips, looked at the molasses that had not been licked clean on his fingers, and suddenly said, "Can't you think of it and want me to tell you?" ”

"What?" Qin Xun didn't react for a while, "Ah, Tian Shuyan?" ”

"Hmm." Qi Jing's thumb slid between his fingers, "I haven't told you yet, when I tried it in front of my father's palace that day, I brought Showa with me." ”

After Qi Jing finished speaking, he sucked the tip of Qin Xun's index finger dipped in molasses in his mouth, and under the touch of his fingers being wrapped in a warm and soft mouth, Qin Xun could still distract himself from thinking about the information he had just revealed to himself.

Qi Jing stopped at the point, and Qin Xun also understood it at all, and it didn't take much effort to understand the intention of the emperor's move.

"Your Majesty, this is ...... Recruiting a son-in-law for Princess Showa? ”

Qi Jing didn't answer him, still holding his fingers, but the corners of his eyes slightly curved into a smile of agreement.

It is said that the envoy of the Western Liao has entered the territory of Daqi a few days ago, and will arrive in Beijing in a few days, and the truce of the Western Liao on the day expressed his willingness to marry with the Great Qi, and this time the envoy also specially arranged for the prince of the Western Liao to take the lead, the intention is obvious, is to marry back the princess of the Great Qi.

Previously, when Qi Jing visited the General's Mansion and was left for dinner, several people exchanged views on the marriage of Western Liao at the dinner table, in their opinion, the most idealized choice is that Daqi is best not to marry with Western Liao, but obviously this is only idealization, the truce of the two major powers to make peace, either to marry a marriage or to negotiate in terms of interests, the interests between the DPRK and the country are nothing more than the city, the territory, gold and silver treasures, in contrast, the court must be more inclined to sacrifice a woman to marry, snobbery, cruelty, in front of the interests of the DPRK, A woman's marital happiness is obviously not worth mentioning.

Fortunately, today's saint is not a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch, Daqi's current marriageable princess is just Princess Showa Qi Shan and Princess Zhaoyang Qi Yao, the emperor is reluctant to Zhaoyang, and the in-laws of Princess Zhaoyang and the hussar general have been acquiesced by everyone in Chang'an City for so many years, if you really want to be close, the candidate will naturally not be Princess Zhaoyang, Queen Qu originally wanted to sacrifice her daughter Showa for the power of her eldest son, which is also the decision that the Lingwang Party was originally worried about the emperor would make, and now it seems that the emperor intends to recruit a son-in-law for Princess Showa among the new sons, I'm afraid it doesn't mean to be Princess Showa and pro-Xiliao.

Showa Princess's

Marriage has always been a headache for the emperor, otherwise he would not be nineteen years old in the boudoir, and the emperor has not yet made up his mind who to marry her. She is not like Princess Zhaoyang, she has had a favorite Ruyi Langjun since she was a child, and this Ruyi Langjun happens to be her royal brother Lingwang's party, and she likes to get married. Among the children of the official family of the Luo Wang Dangqu Party, the family that is old enough is not high, and the family is still young, and there is no official son who is qualified to marry Princess Showa, and he cannot force the family of a neutral courtier to force others to stand in line, so it has been delayed until now.

The gossip news in the palace has also spread widely, it is said that this princess Showa, who stays in the deep boudoir all day long, does not go out of the door, in the first few years of love, when the age of the first love, is the favorite General Guan Yannian, but General Guan Yannian was born in Jiangnan Jinghong Villa, obviously a minister under the command of King Ling, not to mention that General Guan himself has no intention of the princess, even if there is, the world is helpless, and it is not suitable.

Princess Showa was stifled as soon as she was born, and she had a negative attitude towards marriage, and it was difficult to find Ruyi Langjun, finally until now, there are a group of new palace test lifters, and twenty civil and military people are for the princess to choose, especially from the states outside Chang'an to Beijing, there is no party or faction in Chang'an, and the most implicated is not much suitable for tight, and it doesn't matter who the princess picks.

Maybe it's the favor of the emperor or the favor of Princess Showa, but now it seems that eighty percent of the favored concubines are Tian Shuyan.

Qin Xun swallowed the candied fruit and sighed: "Why do you like Tian Shuyan?" ”

Qi Jing finally sucked his index finger and spit it out: "Didn't you say last time that in this year's lift, Tian Shuyan's appearance is the most suitable for a woman's eyes, and it is reasonable for Showa to take a fancy to him." ”

Tian Shuyan's appearance is really good, at least among the top ten or twenty moves of the civil and military forces at this age, his appearance is the most outstanding, a typical white and pure scholarly appearance, but Qin Xun has some independent prejudices, and always feels that Tian Shuyan's face at a glance will make people unconsciously appear in their minds the evaluation of "little white face".

Qin Xun stepped forward, hooked Qi Jing's neck and touched the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "Good brother, you say, if Tian Shuyan marries Showa, will it be even more difficult for me to deal with him?" ”

The distance was closer, and Qi Jing's voice was unconsciously low, like a whisper: "I haven't asked you, why do you have to use this Tian Shuyan?" ”

Qin Xun chuckled: "Because he offended me." ”

"Huh?"

"I don't have the dog leg to do unsightly things for me now, and I'm embarrassed to lead my good relatives and friends to this dark road, and I won't feel distressed if I don't have to pick a call or abandon it, just because he offended me, and this glorious and arduous task won't fall on his head." Qin Xun's grinning voice was a little naughty, "How about a good brother, this explanation is reasonable, right?" ”

It's just a crooked reason, to put it bluntly, it's just a grudge, this little bastard, if you have a little grudge, you have to make a note of it with confidence, and you won't eat the slightest loss.

If others could hear the voice of His Royal Highness the King of Tomb at this moment, they would be dumbfounded and think that His Royal Highness must be crazy, Qi Jing laughed in his heart Qin Xun little bastard

, I still think that Qin Xun, who said these words with a smile, is very cute, he wrapped his arms around the waist wrapped in the young man's spring shirt, touched the tip of his nose with his lips affectionately, and said gently: "Be careful yourself, come to me if you have any problems." ”

Qin Xun climbed up the pole, hugged his head and kissed him outside the gate of Jingyang Palace, it was worth touching his lips, he suddenly remembered something, withdrew a little bit, and said: "No, Your Majesty will recruit a son-in-law for Zhaohe, and Zhaoyang will definitely not kiss, then there is no other princess in Daqi who can marry, if you want to marry, you have to ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the call of the girl who was "Imperial Brother" and "Cousin" in the direction of the gate.
