In fact, Ning Zimo was suspicious in his heart, and he didn't intend to hide it, so he asked directly: "How do you know that my brother has applied for the scientific examination, this thing seems to be only the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy have a summary list." ”

"Zi Mo, since you asked, I naturally can't lie in front of you, in the Hanlin Academy, I have eyeliner in it, so it's not so difficult to get a list."

"Then you can transcribe a copy to me, I want to see it too."

Suspicion flashed in Gong Xuanzheng's eyes, but he didn't think much about it, just nodded and said, "Okay." ”

When the booklet was brought over, Ning Zimo was in the warehouse in her brother's yard, as if she was rummaging for something, and made a mess of the things in the warehouse. You told the housekeeper and asked the housekeeper to help you find it, and the housekeeper knows where the things in this warehouse are placed. ”

"There are so many big and small things every day as a housekeeper, forget it, I'll just find it myself, it's just a yellow dress, I want to confirm it."

"Miss, do you read this booklet now?"

The jade slave was holding a delicate and small booklet in his hand, there was nothing on the cover, Ning Zimo secretly sighed that the man was really careful in his work, and took the booklet with one hand and asked, "When you went to the palace to get the booklet, did you meet Arnold?" ”

"Ran into it."

The tone of the jade slave was cold, Ning Zimo was also familiar with the jade slave, and when he heard this, he felt that something was not right, he was really tired after rummaging for so long, and after sitting down, he asked, "Then Arnold is okay in the palace?" ”

"Okay."

This was a bit rushed, Ning Zimo put down the tea in his hand and asked, "What's wrong?" Why are you still so angry when you go to the palace here? ”

"Miss, when I went today, the prince said that the things were in the study, and asked the slave to follow him to get it, and the prince was writing this list at the time, so Arnold probably knew that the prince was back, and the prince entered the study with the front foot, and the back foot carried the food box to the study."

"What's wrong with that? You eat me, live in me, and usually give me stewed soup, but now she eats the prince's and lives with the prince's, which is considered to please the new master, so it's normal? ”

Ning Zimo had already opened the booklet at this moment, from liberal arts to martial arts, and looked at it carefully.

"Miss, the slave didn't think much about it at the time, but when I came back from taking the booklet, I heard that this Arnold was sticking to the prince all day long, so I almost climbed into the prince's bed. Miss, you don't want to think about it either? ”

Ning Zimo was originally looking at the list on the booklet, but after hearing this, he was also stunned: "Is what you said true or false?" ”

"Miss, how dare the slave deceive you, just ask someone from the palace and find out. Miss, it's not a slave and I worry about it, you have recently gotten close to the five princes, and the people in the capital feel that good things are coming, you don't have any news yet, but this Arnold still entered the palace before you, isn't this a slap in the face? ”

Ning Zimo's brows furrowed heavily, and he thought for a while before ordering: "Early tomorrow morning, you take my letter to the palace again, and by the way, pay attention to this matter and see if it's true or not." ”

"What's so beautiful, look at it as a slave, it's this Arnold who has the mind to fly on the branches and become a phoenix."

Ning Zimo shook his head and analyzed carefully: "What kind of person is Arnold, don't you know better than me?" You're so angry because she behaves differently than you remember Arnold, and you think she's changed, that's why you're angry, right? ”

"That's right, Miss, what an obedient person Arnold used to be, did he see that there were no concubines in the palace, so he had such thoughts."

Ning Zimo seemed to be amused by this sentence, and said indifferently: "Okay, don't be angry about this matter, let's talk about it early tomorrow morning." ”

Yu Nu's heart was still a little unconvinced, but when he saw that his young lady didn't care, he knew that it was useless to say more, and when he saw that it was turned into a mess, he had to order someone to come in and clean it up.

Ning Zimo really didn't care, as if he hadn't heard the news, he went over in an instant, and went back to his yard with the booklet.

The strong wind outside was cold, Ning Zimo's hands and feet were a little cold, even if he put on a fox fur coat, it didn't help, he was a little cold all over, he rubbed his hands to keep warm, and he got into his boudoir, and he didn't want to go out again.

She got into the room, only to see her brother sitting on the ground so loudly, surrounded by a dozen kittens, he was feeding the kittens, and said without looking back when he heard the movement: "Xiao Mo, close the door, don't freeze them." ”

Ning Zimo's own hands and feet were also cold, and he was a little unhappy when he heard this, seeing that the little cats who ran to Ning Xuanli one by one to compete for favor were on fire, and casually threw the booklet in his hand on the table, and slammed the door.

This movement was loud, Ning Xuanli turned his head, and seeing that her face was not good, he quickly got up, ran to Ning Zimo in a hurry, and said with concern: "What's wrong?" Who upset you? ”

Ning Zimo glanced at the kittens sleeping in a row on the warm carpet, and said with a pout: "No one." ”

Ning Xuanli's gaze fell on the booklet, opened it suspiciously, glanced at ten lines, read the booklet very quickly, and asked a little weakly: "Are you angry because I signed up for the scientific examination?" ”

Ning Zimo shook his head very arrogantly and said, "It's not this." ”

"Why is that?"

Ning Zimo's face was not good-looking, but he couldn't say that he was angry with a few kittens, so he shook his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's over." By the way, I just heard that the housekeeper has prepared a dowry brochure and sent it to Daddy's bedside, why don't you go and see it? ”

"Don't look at it, I can't marry anyway, by the way, Xiao Mo, I'm so cold, is it okay to hug me?"

The corners of Ning Zimo's mouth twitched, and he snorted coldly without smiling: "You can take your cats and grandchildren." ”

Ning Xuanli felt wronged, and hugged the person in his arms with thick skin, and when he touched her hand, it was still cold, and he frowned: "Why is it so cold?" ”

While speaking, he put Ning Zimo's hand in his palm to keep warm, Ning Zimo's heart was like this cold hand, and it was melted all of a sudden, and he said with some grievances: "I don't know how this winter, it's extra cold, and it wasn't like this in previous years." ”

"It's okay, the general has a good mink, I'll go back and ask the butler to bring it and make you a shawl, okay?"

"Okay."

Ning Xuanli kept holding her hand in the palm of her hand, and looked at the booklet with the other hand, and asked, "Where did you get this booklet?" This must be a secret. ”

"I took it from the fifth prince, he saw your name, and I only found out after telling me, so I asked him for a copy by the way."

Ning Zimo always felt as if he had neglected something particularly important recently, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't feel that something was missing, and he must first settle down inside, but now the mansion is calm, that is, the caution to do about that big thing is unknown, everything is going on quietly, in fact, Ning Zimo has to sigh, what is with the help of the five princes is indeed twice the result with half the effort, but Ning Zimo will not forget the hatred of the previous life.

"What do you want this for?"

Ning Zimo smiled, and used the thick wire in her hand to stir the charcoal fire, until the temperature rose to a height, reflecting Ning Zimo's face flushed, and then she continued: "In addition to the original children of the family, the new pillars of the country, there should be a lot of them." And brother, don't you want to know yourself and your opponent? ”

Ning Xuanli also smiled: "Then you have to grope around one by one to check the background, what a big project this is." ”

"Brother, don't worry, in fact, I already know Tianbao, and he will definitely stand among the top three in the future. and this Liang Zhicheng, as well as Liu Jingyu from Bianjing, are all leaders in the liberal arts. ”

"Just a name, you know it?"

Ning Zimo shook his head and said: "No, when the fifth prince gave me the booklet, he had already marked out the people he was optimistic about, and also checked the background, brother, do you say that the fifth prince is such a cautious person, will he rob the crown prince of the throne in the future?" ”

Ning Xuanli heard this question, his eyes subconsciously looked around, and found that except for the jade slave guarding the gate, the rest of the servants were far away, so he was relieved, but his expression was solemn: "It's hard to say, the prince is bent on flowers, birds, fish and insects, and his mind is not on the throne, but it's okay, and he doesn't make mistakes." ”

"Brother, the next time you see the crown prince, let him guard a little bit of the fifth prince, this person can't believe it."

"If you persuade others, I will see that you are closest to the five princes."

Ning Zimo looked away a little unnaturally, and said after a while: "I'm here to hear the news, and his help is indispensable for the progress of that matter." ”

Ning Xuanli's eyes flashed with instant hatred, but it was quickly annihilated, he was still holding Ning Zimo's small hand in his palm, and he was actually very scared in his heart, if this woman knew that she was hiding so many things from her in the future, and she was not as perfect as she saw in her heart, would she choose to stay away from herself.

He didn't have any reason to be so worried, and asked with his head down: "Xiao Mo, are the five princes so omnipotent in your eyes?" ”

Ning Zimo wanted to nod, but he always felt that the mood of the person next to him was wrong, so he withdrew his little hand and opened his mouth unnaturally: "It's okay, it's just that the heart is a little poisonous, the means of doing things are a little poisonous, and the rest is nothing." ”

"Now that you know, why are you so close to him? Today, I heard the maid in the house say that he came to you after lunch, you went out of the house with him, and now you come back after dinner, you disappeared for two hours, and people said that you haven't married yet, and your heart followed the five princes. ”

These words sounded sour, and the temperature in the room dropped in an instant because of his unhappiness, Ning Zimo pulled his arm, and motioned for this person to look at him, although Ning Xuanli spoke sourly, but it was not to the point of ignoring people, and asked angrily: "What to do?" ”

"It's not my sister's business that matters now, I heard the housekeeper say that I will go to the general's mansion for a dowry after the year, I went to your warehouse to find it, and there is nothing new, just a yellow robe is quite unusual, I saw it last time, I didn't see it when I went to look for it just now."

There was a moment of panic in his expression, and he sighed in his heart: Fortunately, he put away the yellow coat before, if she saw it, the matter would not be able to be contained.
