In the Chengqian Palace, carved beams and embroidered columns, painted buildings flying. Gu Yan leaned back against the jade table and looked at the princes and nobles in front of him, while Gu Ying stood aside with his hands down, silently and quietly, holding his breath. Xiangguo Pei Yongqing and Chu Lian stood on the left and right sides of the front of the hall respectively, asking questions in turn to check on everyone.

Everywhere was solemn, although Shen Zi'an had been appointed and did not need to deal with all kinds of tricky questions from these two people, but looking at the children of the same age around him, sometimes he was dumbfounded without knowing what to say, and sometimes he panicked when he had nothing to do, and finally answered a few words, and he was completely refuted, and he couldn't help but feel stunned. Seeing that it was about to be his turn, he secretly glanced at Mei Changjing on the side, but found that although this guy was also a little nervous on his face, he was not afraid, and even had the intention of rubbing his hands.

Shen Zi'an was furious, and he couldn't help but sweat for him, "This person is usually very reckless, and he is so excited today, don't make any trouble again." ”

After asking a question, Mei Changjing answered it fluently, and even Pei Yongqing, who was not smiling, had some praise in his eyes. Shen Zi'an smashed his arm, lowered his head and whispered, "It's really impressive." ”

Mei Changjing raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes, "Your brother and I have always been very powerful. ”

"Xiaosheng admires." Shen Zi'an pursed his lips, regardless of Mei Changjing snickering beside him, he tried his best to hold his face and make a serious appearance. As soon as he raised his head and looked at the high platform in front of the hall, he saw Gu Xuan looking at him expressionlessly from top to bottom.

Could it be that the fight was discovered just now?

Shen Zi'an was flustered, and hurriedly reached out and pinched Mei Changjing fiercely, and his eyes subconsciously moved elsewhere. After a while, he involuntarily glanced at the high platform a few times, and found that Gu Xuan had already looked away, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a few words popped out from between his teeth without changing his face, "It's all your fault." ”

"What am you doing with me?!" Mei Changjing felt extremely aggrieved.

It wasn't until the hundred birds returned to the forest and the sun was slanting westward, that Chu Lian and the others tested everyone present. After a long time, Gu Yan sneered and opened his mouth leisurely, "I thought that you were old enough, and you were the children of nobles, not to mention that you were full of economy and knowledge, you should have some of your own opinions." Not only do you have no ink on your chest, but you can't even speak clearly, which is ridiculous! ”

Seeing that Gu Yan was about to get angry, Chu Lian hurriedly persuaded, "The king is angry, most of these children are no more than ten years old, the king is not angry and arrogant, it is normal for them to be afraid. Seeing that he didn't speak, Chu Lian quietly looked at his complexion, and said, "The minister is foolish, if someone can still talk freely at this time, then it is a talent that is not in a hundred hands." ”

Gu Yanyu was still angry, and said sharply, "Uncle Guo has something to say. ”

"Mei Changjing's measures are appropriate, he is generous, and he has a bit of youthful spirit, which can share his worries for His Highness."

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yan's face finally softened, looked sideways at Pei Yongqing, and asked, "What does Pei Xiangguo want?" ”

"What Lord Chu said is that Mei Changjing has a strong head and horns, and she is a good seedling." Pei Yongqing arched his hand and said.

"Then according to what the two said, Shen Zi'an and Mei Changjing will live in Changming Palace with Gu Xuan today, and then enter Taixue from the master and hand it over to Pei Xiangguo to arrange. I'm tired too, so that's all for today. With that, Gu Yan got up and was about to leave. Seeing this, Shen Zi'an and the others hurriedly came out of Lieton and said, "Thank you, Wang." ”

After saying goodbye to Chu Lian and Pei Yongqing, Mei Changjing walked quickly to the outside of the Chengqian Palace, took a deep breath and stuffed it in his chest, crossed his waist with his hands, and jumped around the pillar. Shen Zi'an followed him out of the house, and seeing his perverse behavior, he stepped forward and punched him in the back, and scolded with a smile, "It's not a proper system." Mei Changjing was defenseless, and hit the pillar with a stumble, and the breath in his chest rushed out at once, choking him and coughing on the pillar for a long time, and finally stopped coughing, but he was also out of breath, his face was flushed, so he glared at Shen Zi'an fiercely, "You want to die!" Before the words had been spoken, the people were seen rushing out of the temple, either frightened or overjoyed.

Mei Changjing raised his eyes and looked at the group of people, ignored them, turned back again, smashed Shen Zi'an with his elbow, raised his hand in front of him, and said coquettishly, "Look, my hands are still shaking." Shen Zi'an lowered his eyes and glanced at it, and said with a smile, "Isn't Brother Mei very powerful?" Why is it still shaking like this? Mei Changjing didn't know how to argue for a while, so he could only stomp his feet, look angry, and say, "You sharp-mouthed and thin-tongued, you hate it." ”

Shen Zi'an was even more happy when he saw that he couldn't speak, and was giggling, when he saw a young man in Tsing Yi walking in front of him, making a deep gesture, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Mei Gongzi, Mei Gongzi is really talented." Mei Changjing was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to be modest for a few words, the young man put on a confused look, and said, "It's just that I don't understand, it's clearly something that everyone is afraid to avoid, why is the son so concerned?" Is Master Mei reduced to the point that he can only go to the second highness to slap the horse, or does he have other plans in his heart? ”

Seeing that Mei Changjing was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he was about to greet the young man's face with his hand, Shen Zi'an hurriedly stopped him, and said with a smile, "Childe's curling jade ruler, brocade heart and embroidered mouth, we are vulgar, naturally we can't reach it." If you get to some noble person in the future, you will ask the son to help us. ”

"That's nature." The young man sneered and walked away.

Mei Changjing was so angry that he jumped to his feet, he sulked for a while, he was still angry, and just wanted to count Shen Zi'an fiercely, he heard a few applause from behind him, "The little young master is still so sharp-toothed." The two turned around and saw that Gu Xuan had stood aside for some time, "It's just that if you don't care about your mouth in the future, I'm afraid no one will be able to save you." Shen Zi'an came back to his senses at this time, as soon as they were selected as companions, they ran outside the hall to talk about the world, completely forgetting the master in front of him, and was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled Mei Changjing together to bow down. Gu Xuan didn't appreciate it, he grinned perfunctorily, and he couldn't hide his impatient look, "Excuse me." Shen Zi'an was cramped for a while, and he didn't know whether to finish the ceremony or obey Gu Xuan's wishes. Seeing this, Gu Xuan secretly laughed in his heart and said, "You two will come with me, I guess when you get to Changming Palace, your luggage should also be delivered." ”

Along the way, Gu Xuan was a few years older than these two, his pace was much faster, and his steps were bigger. Mei Changjing usually likes to run around, and he can barely keep up, but Shen Zi'an has more than enough strength to do it, although he trotted all the way and was out of breath, he still fell a lot.

"You ...... today" Gu Xuan was bent on leaving them with an amiable impression, smiled and turned around to talk to the two about today's palace test, but saw that Mei Changjing was out of breath, and Shen Zi'an was even more exhausted, one step at a time, the smile on his face could no longer be hung up, and said with disgust, "It's also a family of military generals, why can't you even walk." Shen Zi'an gasped, his words were intermittent, and etiquette was left behind, "It's His Highness who walks too fast, and he doesn't pity us at all." Gu Xuan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to slow down again and again.

When the two of them were breathing steadily, Gu Xuan saw that there was no one around, so he whispered, "Don't offend people in the future." ”

"Have we ever sinned against anyone?" Shen Zi'an was puzzled.

Gu Xuan only felt that he was speechless again, "Didn't you provoke Lord Lu's child just now?" ”

Seeing Gu Xuan mention this, Mei Changjing was angry, "It's clear that he provoked the trouble first!" ”

Gu Xuan said with a smile, "Lu Qingming is the backbone of □□, and he has won the trust of Uncle Chu, and Lu Li is his only son. Everyone today is ignorant of ignorance, and knowing is also ignorance, for fear of being selected as my companion, but you are out of the limelight, and it is reasonable that he will stir up trouble. ”

"It's neither reasonable nor reasonable, how can it be called reasonable? If you rely on your father to gain power, you can disregard dignity and inferiority, regardless of etiquette, where is the reason for that day? Shen Zi'an was not convinced.

happened to walk to the front yard of Changming Palace, Gu Xuan only said that he was a child's heart, and he wanted to come out of it, but he didn't know that he was noble and cheap, and he didn't know that people's hearts were hateful, so he turned around and said with a smile, "There is no heavenly reason, but there is only human law." As he spoke, he happened to meet the eyes of the young man behind him. Gu Xuan raised his head a head, he tilted his head, stared at Gu Xuan stubbornly, and opened his mouth. The warm wind gusted, blowing Shen Zi'an's hair, bending the green grass, and making the leaves rustle.

"There is a heavenly principle in this world, Your Highness. Even if there is only human law now, there should be heavenly principles in this world. ”

Word by word, loud and clear.

Gu Xuan looked at him, subconsciously repeated this sentence in his mouth, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly found that the tree behind him was blood-red.

On the tenth day of September in the fifteenth year of Zhangde, the heather flowers in front of the Changming Palace bloomed.
