Wang Qiang and Wang Wei looked at each other coldly, and the others buried their heads in an orderly manner, until Wu Jinghong chuckled again, "Get up and sit down, today's palace is a micro-service trip, don't be too restrained." ”

Su Lingnan was the first to raise his head, because of his upright temperament, he was happy by Wu Jinghong's words, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess!" Your Highness rest assured, when I see Brother Wang in a while, the grass people will definitely take the initiative to apologize! ”

"Well, since you all have to participate in this winter test, maybe you will be colleagues in the court in the future, and the relationship should not be too stiff." Wu Jinghong nodded, with a relieved expression that the child could be taught.

Hearing this, several other people also slowly raised their heads and stood up one by one.

He Chengshuang only glanced at Wu Jinghong lightly, then quickly withdrew his gaze, sat down upright, and did not squint, even the folding fan that he did not leave his hand was tucked away from his waist. The other two sons, who were slightly inferior in appearance, followed He Chengshuang's movements in obscurity.

Seeing that although several people sat down according to their words, they were obviously very restrained, Wu Jinghong smiled helplessly, hoping that after she returned to the palace, the imperial capital had too many rumors about her, so that these juniors didn't know which one to believe. Looking at their young age, but they are all cautious, they must have been told repeatedly at home.

"Gongzi He, I heard that you and Gongzi Su are both from Meizhou?" Wu Jinghong's eyes flowed, and he quickly locked on He Chengshuang, the backbone of these people, this seemingly casual son-in-law brother is the oldest among these people, and he is also the most sophisticated, and the other people will talk to him openly and secretly.

"Back to Your Highness, the grass people and Su Gongzi are indeed fellow villagers, and they are from Meizhou."

"Meizhou, I haven't been to this palace, but I heard that there is a strong humanistic atmosphere, especially Confucianism. I heard that in Meizhou, even a three-year-old child from an ordinary family can open his mouth to poetry, but is it true? ”

"His Royal Highness is knowledgeable, Meizhou does attach great importance to knowledge, three-year-old children may not be able to read poetry, but they must be able to recite the three books of enlightenment." He Chengshuang replied respectfully, "The three books of enlightenment are "Three Character Classic", "Disciple Rules" and "Hundred Family Names", but whenever there is a child in the family, both men and women will teach him to learn, and when he is three years old, it is enough to memorize. ”

Wu Jinghong nodded thoughtfully, "This is a good habit, I hope you can bring it to the imperial capital, although our dynasty has a long history and a lot of resources, but after so many years, other big countries have also made progress, and if there is no measure, I am afraid that it will fall behind." ”

Her words were very soft, like mumbling to herself, but they were just enough for these sons to hear.

He Chengshuang raised his eyes in surprise, "If you can stay in the imperial capital, the grass people should do their best!" ”

Bai Qiang, Bai Wei, Su Lingnan and the other two looked at each other, and they all seemed to hear some information from the muttering of Wu Jinghong - according to the meaning of Her Royal Highness the Princess's words, they were not satisfied with the current situation of Yun Kingdom, but Yun Guo was obviously the head of the Eighteen Emperors, and his strength was strong, and he was a famous general, which could be compared with other countries?

They didn't know anything about the overnight tragedy and the Nangong Chen incident that had just happened in the imperial capital some time ago. After all, it belongs to the change in the court, Wu Jinghong doesn't want to cause panic across the country, Yunguo has been weakened a lot after eight years of war, and it hasn't recovered much in three years, before she rectified the court, there were all kinds of problems in the whole country, but no one cared about it.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, her father's letting go led to the paralysis of the entire court, every official is lazy if he can, and perfunctory if he can't be lazy. Of course, there are many things like tax corruption and military salaries. There are not a few clean officials in the entire court, and even if there are those who want to speak out, they will be intercepted halfway, and many loyal advice will not reach the ears of the emperor.

It is precisely because of this that when dealing with the old ministers, she has no mercy - she can see clearly that none of the relationships formed under the lazy government are solid, as long as she shows her authority and makes an example of the monkeys, the back will naturally scatter and flee, and the entire court will become a plate of scattered sand. In this way, she can be rectified and cleaned up in a short period of time, and the people will be given a neat and orderly court.

"Your Highness?" He Chengshuang saw that Wu Jinghong's face changed, and he called out with some worry.

Wu Jinghong came back to his senses and continued to smile on his face, "By the way, this winter test is a big matter, are you fully prepared?" ”

What's at stake?

Several people looked at each other again, but He Chengshuang clenched his fists.

"Your Highness, the grass people should go all out!" Seeing Wu Jinghong's gaze, Su Lingnan immediately blushed, and got up and gave up his hand seriously, "However, the final result may not be satisfactory." My father said that he would do his best ......."

"Obey the destiny of heaven?" Wu Jinghong shook his head with a smile, "So did your father say that the emperor is the sky?" ”

Su Lingnan was stunned and quickly reacted, "Of course! "After saying that, I was afraid for a while, this princess Her Royal Highness is too sharp, if he is slow to answer this, will he commit the great crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans?

Wu Jinghong looked at his slightly shocked face, obviously he misunderstood his words, no matter what, this kid has only learned, but his experience is insufficient, even if he passes the winter test, he will not be able to put it in the court for a while, and he still needs to experience two years in the Hanlin Academy.

Su Lingnan didn't understand Wu Jinghong's hint, but He Chengshuang did, his fists clenched even tighter, and he was horrified in his heart - Her Royal Highness the princess is going to open the way for Brother Su? Is that a ...... No, no, no, this is not a gentleman's doing, not to mention that His Highness has probably taken a fancy to Brother Su's character, and he got up for no reason, which will only make His Highness even more unhappy.

Parents often say that this exam depends on strength for three points and luck for seven points, which seems to be really good. He Chengshuang's fists gradually loosened, and his nervous eyes eased. Compared with Su Lingnan, he doesn't feel that his strength is inferior, probably the difference is this luck, but it doesn't matter, even if he relies on his own strength, he still has a chance!

His small movements and eyes fell into Wu Jinghong's eyes, Wu Jinghong nodded secretly with satisfaction, and his eyes turned to Bai Qiang and Bai Wei again. The brother and sister looked silent, but they were secretly exchanging glances, and they didn't seem to be as confused as Su Lingnan.

In the end, she looked at the two silent teenagers, all tall and slender, that was Yang Zhiqi, the son of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who had not been very prominent in the family since he was a child, probably forgotten by his father, and did not take the path of official relatives to seek work for him, but he did not expect that he was ready to participate in the winter examination by himself.

The other is sturdy, with bright eyes, as far as the secret observation of Wu Jinghong is concerned, this is the most empathetic one among these talents, no matter what he sees or hears, those big sparkling eyes don't seem to have changed. This person's family background is not simple, he is the son of the general political envoy Gongsun Nuo, or the youngest son of the very favored lineage, looking at this person's fine appearance, he is favored mostly because of his shrewdness.

Just thinking like this, Gongsun Nuo's gaze suddenly crashed into Wu Jinghong's sight, he smiled slightly, and gestured with his chin, that old and steady look was more strategic than He Chengshuang's.

"Your Highness, Prince Wang Jiu just took another turn in the Poetry Pavilion, saying that he was going to inquire about the news for His Highness, so he came over." Chimang quietly appeared, followed by Jiuzun with a cold face.

"Heh, inquiring about news? What's so lively about the Poetry Book Pavilion? Wu Jinghong couldn't help laughing, especially looking at Jiuzun's face that was more stinky than before, and he was in a happier mood for a while.

Jiuzun walked in, only saluted slightly, and sat down consciously without waiting for Wu Jinghong to speak, and sat on the chair closest to Wu Jinghong, no one dared to sit on.

"Your Highness, the eldest grandmother of the Li family accidentally fell down on the Qinxin Tower, and the eldest prince of Li has already taken her back." Chimang continued to report to himself, "The Wenhui has also dispersed, the second son of Li is still finishing in the Poetry Book Pavilion, Mrs. Li is unwell and faints in Qinxin Building, the doctor has come to see it, and she has just been sent back to the house." ”

"Hmph, this family is really lively, did Wang Gongzi see any different excitement?" Wu Jinghong's eyelids did not move, and the meaning of his words was unclear, Li Shilang's wife was determined to pull the house fight out, but fortunately, she didn't need to care.

"It's not lively, but I got into a fight." Jiuzun seemed to be a little negative, but he couldn't attack in front of everyone, he rolled up the sleeve of his right arm, revealing a strong arm, and there was a large piece of blue and purple on his arm, "Look, that person is quite unreasonable, and he will hurt people when he shoots." ”

"Hey, who's that? This is the imperial capital, did that person do it in the Poetry Book Pavilion? Li Ergongzi will definitely catch him. Bai Wei glanced at it and took a short breath, the bruise looked like it was fake, it hurt to look at it.

"Catch? That Li Guangnian obviously asked someone to welcome him in. Jiuzun said, if he didn't look at Wu Jinghong, his eyes were full of grievances - look at the place you are in charge of, and there are still people who dare to beat this king? If he didn't want to reveal his identity, this king would have beaten him all over the ground to find teeth!

"Oh? Who exactly is it? Wu Jinghong pursed her lips and smiled, she was as shrewd as Jiuzun, she didn't believe that he would be beaten obediently, but that injury looked really scary, presumably he was in a stubble. It's just that there is still this person in the imperial capital?

Chimang took a step forward and replied, "Your Highness, it is the son of the commander of the infantry army, Huoli, and it is said that he is also going to participate in the winter test. ”

"Do you have to take the winter test when you fight in the street?" Bai Qiang couldn't help but interject in a whisper, but after speaking, she glanced at Wu Jinghong.

"Listening to what he meant, it was too unfair for Li Shilang to only hold a cultural meeting, and he asked for another martial arts meeting." Chimang continued.

"Martial arts?" Wu Jinghong smiled again, "It seems that he is an aggressive character, young and vigorous, but how did Wang Gongzi get into a dispute with him?" ”
