Chapter 147: The Palace Exam
"Tomorrow is the palace test, I hope you can play well tomorrow and don't touch the emperor's mold."
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, for mentioning this."
Tian Alang and Liu Zhiyuan arched their hands and said to His Royal Highness the Second Prince.
"Your Highness, how is the county lord doing?"
After the two finished speaking, they finished speaking to His Royal Highness the Second Prince in unison, and the two looked at each other awkwardly.
"The second princess has been guarding leisurely over there, and the two of you can visit by yourself."
"Student quit!"
Hearing this, Tian Alang and Liu Zhiyuan were overjoyed and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
"If Brother Tian performs well in this palace exam, maybe he will be the champion, Brother Tian should go back and prepare quickly!"
Liu Zhiyuan saw that Tian Alang also followed him to the backyard, and knew that Tian Alang was also going to visit Li Youran, so he turned around and said to Tian Alang.
"Brother Liu is really exalting me too much, I just read more books, and I took advantage of the written exam, I don't dare to compare with others in the palace exam, just don't fall behind the top three."
Tian Alang naturally knew what Liu Zhiyuan was thinking, when he was in Shangshu Mansion before, Liu Zhiyuan secretly built a bridge between him and Shangshu's daughter Jiang Qianqian in order to let him give up Li Youran.
Now Jiang Qianqian is engaged to the second son of her uncle's mansion. Since this incident, every time he went to the second prince's mansion, Liu Zhiyuan looked like a thief and guarded him everywhere.
"Brother Liu is not only full of poetry and books, but also has a lively mind, and Brother Liu can win the palace test this time."
Liu Zhiyuan was praised by Tian Alang, and just wanted to habitually give up his hand to thank him, but before Liu Zhiyuan could arch his hand, he saw Tian Alang say.
"The county lord is here for me to visit, Brother Liu, please rest assured, and go back with peace of mind to prepare for tomorrow's palace exam."
"It's not a minute, let's go together."
Liu Zhiyuan smiled in his heart, thinking that he didn't look at Tian Alang, this kid usually talks little, and always stays at the table to read, but his mouth is also very powerful, and he wraps him in two sentences.
When Liu Zhiyuan and Yutian Alang arrived, the second princess was taking her subordinates to wipe Li Youran's hands and face.
"In the second half of the night yesterday, I woke up leisurely, and now I am tired of work and sleeping, so you two better not go in and disturb."
The second princess did not let Liu Zhiyuan and Tian Alang into Li Youran's bedroom, but only entertained the two of them outside.
But Tian Alang and Liu Zhiyuan didn't see Li Youran and didn't want to give up.
The two of them asked the second princess about Li Youran's situation, delaying as much time as possible, hoping to wait until Li Youran woke up.
The second princess guessed the thoughts of the two of them at a glance, and she was speechless.
I thought that my sister had a very strange temper, and she was not a lady at all. Speaking carefully, it can be described as a shortcoming, but why do peach blossoms bloom so well?
The men around him pounced one after another like moths to a fire, and her sister was also a dead eye, as if she was only interested in Tang Lei.
Tang Lei, a man with elm lumps, is even more dead-eyed than her sister.
Then again, it's quite appropriate for two dead eyes to be together.
"Second princess?"
"I'm sorry, I can't help but be happy at the thought of being able to wake up safely."
The second princess had a wild mind in her mind, and couldn't help laughing, she hurriedly put away the smile on her face, and said to Liu Zhiyuan and Tian Alang with a straight face.
"The palace is tired, you have to go back to rest, you two should go back quickly, and after you recover your body, you will come to visit again."
Since the second princess issued an eviction order, Liu Zhiyuan and Tian Alang had no reason to continue to be cheeky, so the two also got up and left.
"Xiaohong, have you woken up leisurely?"
Who knew that Liu Zhiyuan did not leave, he had been sitting outside the door, waiting for Li Youran to wake up, and when he saw Xiaohong coming out of the room with a basin of water, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"It's Liu Gongzi, our young lady just woke up."
"Liu Gongzi, wait a minute, our young lady is not a guest now......"
Without waiting for Xiaohong to finish speaking, Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly walked towards the room.
The second princess gave Xiaohong an order before leaving, that is, not to let outsiders disturb Li Youran.
Xiaohong hurriedly followed behind Liu Zhiyuan, but Xiaohong's speed could not catch up with Liu Zhiyuan's long-legged speed.
"Leisurely."
"Liu Gongzi ......"
Li Youran should have been lying on the bed for too long, so his body was a little numb, and he said to Liu Zhiyuan weakly. And this scene fell in Liu Zhiyuan's eyes, it was Li Youran who was in danger, he hurriedly put his hand that was only focused and leisurely, and said to Li Youran with tears, a handful of snot and tears.
"Leisurely, you must hold on, if you go, I really don't have the courage to continue living in this world."
Hearing Liu Zhiyuan's words, Li Youran only felt goosebumps on his body, but because the whole person was weak and didn't have the strength to touch those goosebumps, he could only let which goosebumps numb on his body.
"The last time you went to Liaocheng during the epidemic, I was so worried that I was going to die, but the quota was taken up by Tian Alang, and I could only stay in the capital to assist His Royal Highness the Second Prince. Now that you have returned to the capital, I have not protected you and let you have such an accident. ”
Liu Zhiyuan said as he looked at Li Youran with affection and continued.
"It's all because I don't have the courage to keep what is in my heart all the time, and I have never told my deep feelings for you. This time, I don't want to bury it in my heart anymore, I'm going to tell you. Leisurely, I am pleased with you. ”
Liu Zhiyuan missed opportunities again and again, worried again and again, and now finally saw the real Li Youran.
He looked at Li Youran lying on the bed, his lips were white, and he looked weak, Liu Zhiyuan was determined that he must say what was in his heart today, and told Li Youran that he would never swallow the words back to his mouth like before.
At the beginning, because of Li Youran's identity, Liu Zhiyuan was afraid that his family would not agree and didn't dare to say it, but now because Li Youran's identity is too noble, he doesn't dare to say it in his heart.
At the moment, Liu Zhiyuan can't take care of it so much, he thinks to himself, when the palace exam is tomorrow, he must work hard to get a half-official position, and he will be worthy of Li Youran when the time comes.
"Leisurely, you're not feeling well, do you want to go to the doctor?"
After Liu Zhiyuan said all the words in his heart, seeing that Li Youran did not respond for a long time, he looked at Li Youran with a worried face, and said that he was going to ask for a doctor.
"Liu Gongzi, I'm fine, but my body hasn't recovered yet, my qi and blood are insufficient, and I have a bit of effort to speak."
Li Youran pretended to be very tired as he spoke, and continued to Liu Zhiyuan.
"Liu Gongzi, I'm a little tired, why don't you go back and let me rest first."
Seeing that Liu Zhiyuan was so affectionate, Li Youran really didn't want to refuse directly, because it was too hurtful.
And since she came to this world, Liu Zhiyuan is the person who has helped her the most, and before she explained the misunderstandings on her body, she wore the hat of being unable to have children in her second marriage, but Liu Zhiyuan still braved the pressure of breaking through the world and showed no impatience to her.
At that time, she shirked and wanted to wait for things to settle down, but now Liu Zhiyuan has gone all out in the next exam and has achieved good results, and she can't find a reason to refuse Liu Zhiyuan.
"Fourth princess, don't worry, I have arranged the things you ordered properly, and within three days, the entire capital will know that His Royal Highness the Third Prince will marry Miss Yan, who protects the country."
Liu Qingqing said flatteringly to Hu Qinqin.
Although Liu Qingqing didn't understand why His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was sent to the prison, it was obvious that it was impossible to turn the tables again, and her father also arranged for her to curry favor with Hu Qinqin, but despite this, she still obeyed her father's arrangement.
"Qingqing, don't worry, my cousin is very arrogant, she is naturally unwilling to marry His Royal Highness the Third Prince. When the time comes, I will recommend you to the queen mother, and the position of the third princess will be yours at that time. ”
Hu Qinqin said as she took Liu Qingqing's hand and continued with a look of sisterly affection.
"We are good girlfriends who have played since childhood, I don't want you, can I still do it to others? Besides, you have both ability and political integrity, and you are worthy of the position of the third princess. ”
"Qinqin, then you're in for you."
Liu Qingqing replied with a shy.
She finally understood why her father asked her to please Hu Qinqin. The emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and as soon as Hu Qinqin stretches out her fingers, she can get a position that ordinary people can't do in a lifetime.
Looking at Liu Qingqing's departing back, the corners of Hu Qingqing's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sneer.
Man dies for money, and birds die for food. If you really want to blame, then blame yourself for being too greedy.
Hu Qinqin didn't have such a good mind, so he pulled a bridge for Liu Qingqing. She didn't look down on such a small woman, but she was just using it.
A few days ago, when I entered the palace and mentioned the selection of concubines by His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the second princess mentioned the daughter of the Kung Fu who protects the country, that is, the cousin of Hu Qinqin.
She and Miss Cousin have been at odds since childhood, and there have been many conflicts since childhood, if her cousin is allowed to sit in the position of the third princess, I am afraid that it will only be harmful to her.
So Hu Qinqin took advantage of her cousin's arrogant temperament, and at the same time spread two rumors in the capital.
One is that His Royal Highness the Third Prince often goes in and out of brothels, and the women around him are uneven, and there are groups of concubines in the family, and the second is that he will marry the daughter of the Protector's Mansion in the near future.
Wu Qinqin's cousin is very arrogant and selfish, and she is unwilling to marry His Royal Highness the Third Prince, so she will definitely want to marry her son before this, so she will have no way out.
Hu Qinqin's calculation is very clever, like the queen mother mentioned that the daughter of the Protector Mansion is the second princess, if the daughter of the Protector Mansion was hastily married before this, this matter is naturally inseparable from the second princess.
"Tian Gongzi, today is the day of the palace test, why haven't you set off yet, what are you doing here?"
As soon as the second princess got up in the morning, she hurriedly went to visit Li Youran, but she didn't expect that as soon as she came to Li Youran's courtyard, she saw Tian Alang wandering outside the courtyard.
"See the Second Princess."
Tian Alang clasped his fists and saluted.
"The county lord has a life-saving grace for me, I really can't rest assured that the county lord wants to go and have a look."
The second princess, after hearing Tian Alang's words, Xiao looked at Tian Alang with interest.
Wenwen's weak young man looks like he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, maybe not as old as leisurely, he didn't expect her sister-in-law to eat all ages, even Tian Alang is interested in her sister-in-law.
"Tian Gongzi, since you are so grateful, I can't stop it, since that's the case, then you can go with me to visit Youran."
Seeing that the time of the palace test was about to be delayed, the second princess didn't want to miss such a good talent, so she asked Tian Alang to follow her to visit Li Youran.
"Sister."
When the second princess and Tian Alang came in, Li Youran was lying on the bed with Xiaohong's support, drinking millet porridge one by one.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
"No dreams."
Li Youran said with a smile, because it involved the wound on his chest, so he smiled very reluctantly.
"Tian Gongzi."
Only then did Li Youran see Tian Alang who was following behind the second princess.
Tian Alang saw Li Youran calling him, so he hurriedly took a step forward and looked at Li Youran.
He saw that Li Youran's face was pale, he was powerless to speak, and even his smile was so reluctant, and he couldn't help but feel like he had been pricked by a needle.
The young man's thoughts were all on his face, and Li Youran saw his worried look, so he hurriedly said.
"There is no danger to life, the rest is to recuperate, and the sweet princess does not need to worry."
"Tian Gongzi, the hour is about to be missed, you better take the carriage to the palace and participate in the palace test!"
The second princess felt anxious for Tian Alang on the side, this is a rare palace exam, and Tian Erlang has also won the first place in the written test before, if the palace exam can perform well, maybe he can win the champion or something, this is a great future.
"Leisurely, you take care of yourself, and I'll get you a champion back."
After Li Youran heard Tian Alang's words, he couldn't help but show a smile.
"Come on, I'm optimistic about you."
If it were in normal times, Li Youran would definitely have to have a fight with Tian Alang and tell him that he only had sister and brother feelings for him, and had no other feelings.
But time doesn't allow it right now, and Li Youran doesn't want to talk more, so he doesn't explain.
After Tian Alang heard Li Youran's words of encouragement, as if he was fully charged, he turned around and said goodbye and left, looking high-spirited, he was bound to win.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince's eyes are really vicious, and two of the top three are good friends with you."
"What did His Royal Highness the Third Prince say? I'm just cherishing my talents. ”
"The emperor has arrived."
Just when His Royal Highness the Third Prince was arguing with His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the emperor came.
