The day after the palace banquet ended, the news that the emperor was going to recruit relatives for the two princesses and the lord of Zhaohua County spread in a boiling manner. The people soon forgot about the shadow caused by chickenpox, and the streets were full of people in groups of three or five, discussing with great interest what kind of people the emperor would choose to be the horses.

Among them, a piece of news is particularly eye-catching, I heard that Chu Junyi, the son of the double peerless son, in order to cope with the recruitment competition seven days later, actually practiced all night until he fainted, which shows that he is really in love with the county lord of Zhaohua.

At this time, Chu Junyi, who was rumored to be as deep as the sea by the outside world, was sitting opposite Shen Ninghua, pinching the cherries and selecting them with great interest: "Ninghua, these cherries are not bad at all compared to those at the palace banquet, and they are even better, if you like it, I will ask people to send some over every day." ”

Shen Ninghua raised his eyes and looked at him, "Isn't it rumored that you fainted from practicing all night?" ”

Chu Junyi smiled proudly: "No, now they are saying that I fainted after writing a strategy for you all night." ”

Hongling, who came up with a pastry on the side, suddenly laughed when she heard this, causing the two of them to look at her at the same time.

Being looked at by two pairs of majestic eyes, Hongling trembled, and hurriedly said: "Miss, now it is rumored outside that Master Chu vomited blood because he missed you. ”

Shen Ninghua's hand in transcribing the scroll paused, and he laughed violently: "In two days, will it be rumored that Gongzi Chu was martyred for love?" ”

Chu Junyi pinched the cherries he picked and sent them to Shen Ninghua, with the slightest smile on his face: "If it's for you, don't say it's martyrdom, even if you die and come back to life, I'm happy." ”

Shen Ninghua's smile suddenly paused, raised his head and glared at him fiercely: "Hurry up and hurry up, in seven days it will be the day of the emperor's selection, if you don't prepare well, it will be ugly to lose when the time comes." “

Chu Junyi turned his head to look at Hongling and motioned for her to go out.

Hongling snorted heavily, but she retreated obediently, Miss and Chu Junyi were basically able to settle down, and they still had to listen to their uncle's words a little in the future.

Chu Junyi was satisfied, approached Shen Ninghua's side, and took the pen from her hand: "Don't be afraid, even if I lose, you won't choose someone else!" ”

The study caught fire and burned a lot of things, so Shen Ninghua could only find the books and copy them little by little, trying to restore the study to its original state. After copying the book for an hour, my eyes were a little spent: "Are you so sure?" ”

"Of course."

Hearing this, Shen Ninghua put down the fingers that were kneading her shoulders, raised her chin slightly, and looked a little arrogant: "So confident in yourself? ”

There was a little arrogance on her beautiful face, which made her heart tickle, and she couldn't wait to reach over and cook her face and knead it carefully, Chu Junyi coughed slightly twice, and suppressed the thoughts in her heart:

"It's not that I'm confident in myself, but I still owe you a lot of gold, and if you marry someone else, I'll just pay the bills, and then it will be difficult for you to want money. Besides, isn't there Huajun Pharmacy, and a large amount of silver has come over in the past two months, and I am ready to use it as a dowry. ”

"Dowry?" Shen Ninghua glared at him angrily, "Those silver are to be distributed to me, and you take my silver as a dowry?" ”

Looking at her wealth-obsessed appearance, Chu Junyi's heart became more and more funny, but the look on her face was serious: "Ning Hua, after we get married, Huajun Pharmacy will be yours entirely, and you will have as much silver as you want." ”

Shen Ninghua nodded with satisfaction: "That's about the same." ”

Huajun medicine store is now all over Jiangnan, all the people in Jiangnan as long as they buy medicine to recognize this medicine store, many medicinal herb shops have been forced to close their doors, and there are countless merchants who ask for cooperation, and the threshold is almost stepped on. This is also thanks to the good management of the people sent by Chu Junyi, so far, Huajun Pharmacy has not sold any problematic or high-quality medicinal materials, and in the hearts of the people, these four words of Huajun Pharmacy are golden signboards!

Is this a promise?! Chu Junyi smiled, his eyes were full of deep smiles, and he wished that he could drown people. Shen Ninghua turned his head, moved his wrist, turned around and sat on the edge of the bed to rest.

In the next few days, the boudoir women in Kyoto were almost blind from crying, and the deeds of Chu Junyi that reached their ears were too touching.

I don't know how many women want to become Shen Ninghua, so that they can enjoy the deep friendship that the peerless son misses night and night, and it is really difficult to express, and he can't think about it day and night...... I don't know how many people have passed it on by word of mouth, in the end, the love between Chu Junyi and Shen Ninghua has almost become a sadistic drama, that is called a tossing and turning person is haggard, and the clothes are gradually widening and will not regret it, all of a sudden, the people of Kyoto are looking forward to the two of them being able to finally become married.

Even many people have thought about it, if the unequaled prince cannot become the husband of the lord of Zhaohua in the next competition, they will collectively go to the gate of the palace to kneel and petition, asking the emperor to fulfill the lovers.

Soon it was the day of the competition, and on the road leading from the Xiao family to the palace, there were people standing on both sides of the road, and when they saw Chu Junyi coming out of the door, someone immediately shouted: "Young Master Chu must win." ”

"Yes, you must marry the county lord of Zhaohua."

"We all support you, and we will definitely be able to have a lover and eventually become a family."

Chu Junyi's face was full of emotion, he looked up in the direction where the Zhaohua County Lord's Mansion was located, and only after a while did he turn around and bow to the people: "Thank you, Jun Yi will work hard to marry the county lord as his wife." ”

"Good!"

"Work hard!"

Many people's faces were flushed with excitement, and they couldn't wait to roll up their sleeves and come forward to help Chu Junyi.

It was only after entering the palace that there was no sound of cheering. Chu Junyi curled the corners of his lips with satisfaction, and the light in his eyes was bound to win: If the emperor didn't choose him today, he and Ning Hua would be fulfilled, and I am afraid that the people of Kyoto would not agree. His own arrangement was not in vain, if it weren't for the fear of being too explicit, he would have compiled the story of himself and Ning Hua into a play, ensuring that every section is tear-jerking.

Shen Ninghua stayed in Princess Anning's palace, and when she heard about the grand occasion of this day from the mouth of the palace maid, her eyebrows jumped slightly, and the corners of her lips involuntarily curled upwards in an imperceptible arc.

"Hehe, Ning Hua, it's not in vain that you said bluntly above the main hall that you want to marry Chu Junyi, if someone can do this for me, I will definitely marry him, even if I don't have the identity of a princess." Baili Anning said, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes. She is a princess, born to serve the royal family, even if her father ordered to help them choose a colt this time, it was just to choose a tall one among the shorties, anyway, it was all for the sake of the court, and there was no difference in essence.

Shen Ninghua picked a flower and carefully helped her stick it on her eyebrows: "Although the emperor is the monarch, he is also the father of the princess, if you can, I also hope that you can live well, especially the emperor is also old, and he attaches more and more importance to family affection, I didn't tell you a long time ago, if you have a favorite candidate in your heart, you can talk to your father, and he will definitely give priority to your opinion." ”

Baili Anning struggled slightly in his heart: "Will my father will?" ”

"If you don't try, how do you know that your father won't agree?" The emperor is also a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires, although Baili Qingcang governs the country with iron blood, but he is very soft-hearted to his sons, otherwise, now Baili Jinze will not be sick in bed, but has died violently.

Seven days is enough time for the emperor to investigate the connection between the dead man and Panlong Villa that day, so as to find out Baili Jinze. It's just that in the face of his own son, the emperor couldn't do anything about it, but he just made some hands and feet in the medicine taken by Baili Jinze, so that he was sick in bed. When he was young, he stepped on his brother's bones to ascend to the throne, but now he doesn't want to see fratricide, so several princes don't know what Baili Jinze has done.

It's just that the water must leave traces, and the stronger the concealment now, the more powerful it will be when things break out.

"Princess, county lord, it's almost time, it's time to go to the front hall." The palace maid reminded at the door.

Shen Ninghua got up and straightened out her unwrinkled skirt, and the in her eyes kept beating, showing the ups and downs in her heart: "Princess, let's go." ”

Baili Anning was even more nervous, holding Shen Ninghua's hand tightly, and the two walked out hand in hand.

At this time, at the entrance of the Chengqian Palace, the tall vermilion ring has been placed, this ring was built when the previous step was shocked and led people to compete, and then the place was moved but not demolished, and now it has directly changed some appearance, but it is very convenient.

At the entrance of the main hall, there were four rows and five columns of queues standing neatly, each with excitement and eagerness on their faces, just waiting for the emperor to come and announce the beginning.

Chu Junyi stood in the second row, and when he turned his head slightly, he could see Baili Qingcang walking from the corridor and Shen Ninghua behind him, and the light in his eyes suddenly lit up.

"See the emperor, the queen's mother, I have seen Princess Anning, Princess Anqing, and the lord of Zhaohua County......"

After a series of greetings, Baili Qingcang sat on the dragon chair in the main hall, looked at the neat young talents at the door, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and the heart that was hit by Baili Jinze also warmed up a little, and it will still be the world of these young people in the future, he is old in the end, and it is no wonder that his sons have other thoughts in their hearts.

"I gave you a proposition seven days ago: Wen, kill and fight with a pen; Wu, win a thousand miles with wisdom. I think you've figured out how to answer, is there anyone who has something to show me? ”

As soon as Baili Jinze's voice fell, many people came out to report: "Back to the emperor, Weichen (minion) has an article to submit." ”

The chamberlain collected all the articles in everyone's hands and just arrived at the imperial case.

Baili Qingcang casually flipped through the two articles, the expression on his face was slightly relaxed, and he picked out some articles and sent them to Shen Ninghua and the others: "After all, it is to choose a horse for you, you should also take a good look and choose the top three that you think are the best." ”

Baili Jinchuan raised his head and followed Shen Ninghua's figure closely, and the emotions in his eyes gradually condensed into a storm: "Ninghua, if I can't marry you, I won't let others marry you!" ”
