Suddenly, a woman appeared in front of him, and Pei Xuanling's footsteps paused slightly.

After calling the woman, he continued to walk forward, and asked casually, "You also came to the garden for a walk and food?" ”

If the concubine next to him met him by chance, he would definitely think that the other party had premeditated.

But if Jiang Meida appeared at the place where he was walking at night, it was estimated that she had eaten too much at night and came out for a walk to eat.

After all, this woman has no other hobbies other than being interested in eating.

"Well, the concubine came out to consume food." Since they met by chance, Jiang Shishi replied according to the prince's words.

Who knew that the prince said coldly: "Then you continue to walk and eat." ”

Huang Dechang: "......"

I thought that Jiang Meiren knew how to compete for favor, but here she pretended to meet the prince by chance, but who knew that she was still so unenlightened.

These days, all the concubines in the East Palace are actively competing for favor, and Jiang Meiren alone has not said anything at all.

Because of this, he faintly felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little dry, and it was much more difficult to serve than a while ago.

Seeing the man walking forward quickly, Jiang Shishi followed behind the prince and changed her words in time.

"But... The concubine was going to go to the front yard to find His Royal Highness after eating, but since she met, the concubine will accompany you for a walk and ask about something by the way. ”

"Say." Although Pei Xuanling's tone was cold, his pace slowed down.

"I heard that the list will be released at the end of the month, and the concubine wants to ask His Highness, has the court released the list?"

Pei Xuanling: "I just released the list today." ”

"Then does Your Highness know that my eldest brother has been on the list?" Jiang Shishi followed the man's side.

After hearing this, Tingrong, who was standing behind the prince, hooked up a sneer at the corner of her mouth.

It's not that Xue Liangdi has been in love all the way, and by inquiring about his brother's affairs, he actually took the opportunity to compete for favor!

"Yes." Pei Xuanling strolled leisurely, and the moonlight stretched the shadows of the two of them long.

"......" Hearing that the eldest brother was on the list, the corners of Jiang Shishi's mouth rose slightly, "Then the next palace exam, do you think he can continue to pass the palace exam?" ”

The Dongliang National Palace Examination is somewhat similar to that of the early Song Dynasty, and it will not be all hired, but it is an elimination examination.

The percentage of elimination is not fixed, and the general acceptance rate is about 50%.

As a result, there will be a situation where many candidates go to the palace examination and are repeatedly eliminated.

Not only that, the Eastern Liang Kingdom also pays attention to both civil and military cultivation.

The liberal arts examination needs to pass the basic martial arts exam, and students with weak literature are not recruited.

The martial arts examination requires passing a basic literature exam and is not illiterate.

Such a requirement is not too high, and it is generally passed in the township examination.

"There are two hundred and eighty candidates who entered the palace examination this time, and your brother's score is relatively middle." Pei Xuanling rigorously analyzed, "If there is no fire in the Gongyuan this time, the number of people admitted to the palace examination should be about fifty percent, then your brother is five to sixty percent sure that he will be admitted." ”

"This year, there was a fire in the Gongyuan, and so many candidates were burned, and the number of admitted students will be lower, and your brother may only have about a seventy percent chance of being admitted."

Jiang Shishi: "......" It seems that the big brother's palace test will be very dangerous!

Seeing the woman's willow eyebrows frowning slightly, Pei Xuanling said with relief, "However, everything is not certain, and some people who have high grades in the examination may not be able to get good results in the palace examination." ”

"And some people who have lower scores in the entrance examination may not necessarily be admitted in the temple examination." It's just that there are very few such cases.

Jiang Shishi smiled lightly, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saying this with the concubine, I have unconsciously walked around the garden, and the concubine has almost eaten and consumed, so I will go back to Shiyue Pavilion to rest." ”

After speaking, Jiang Shishi saluted the prince.

Pei Xuanling helped the woman in vain, and his eyes fell on the woman's round face, "Gu still has to go back to the front yard to review the official documents, and there is just a lack of grinding, so you will go to the front yard to grind with Lone." ”

As soon as the voice fell, Tingrong hung her head, and a flash of disappointment and jealousy flashed in her eyes.

Although Jiang Shishi felt that there was no shortage of grinding around the prince, since the prince opened this mouth, she still followed the prince to the front yard.

Chun Xing walked far behind, and when she saw her little lord and the prince walking side by side, she was so excited.

It seems that she was right to let the little lord compete for favor, no, this has attracted the attention of His Highness!

There is no shortage of grinding people around the prince, but the prince invited the little master to grind.

It's so late, and if you grind it again after a while, you will leave the little master in the front yard for the night, and you will be lucky to have the little master!

Well, it must be like that.

When she arrived at the front yard, Chun Xing, like the minions in the front yard, was waiting outside the door.

Jiang Shishi, the prince, and Huang Dechang entered the study.

As soon as he entered the house, Huang Dechang and the prince entered the inner room, saying that they were waiting for the prince to clean his hands.

Jiang Shishi didn't follow up, she found a seat next to the bookcase and sat down, ready to grind.

In the inner room, Huang Dechang held the water and waited for the prince to clean his hands, "Your Highness, tonight Jiang Meiren... Do you need a 'beauty dream'? ”

It stands to reason that every time Jiang Meiren rested with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, she didn't need the "beauty dream".

But he has always been cautious, and it is better to ask again.

As for why the concubines and concubines of the East Palace need to use beauty dreams, only Jiang Meiren does not need them, he doesn't know much about this, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows.

"No need." Pei Xuanling washed his hands and wiped the water on his hands with a handkerchief.

At the beginning, he didn't use "beauty incense" for Jiang Meiren because Jiang Meiren was weak and couldn't use this.

Gradually, he found that the woman had no desires, no desire to make progress, only thought about three meals a day, or did some strange exercises, and enjoyed herself every day.

Although she also competes for favor, it is not as frequent as other concubines.

On the contrary, it is more like other concubines are competing for favor, and she also follows the meaning, so that she can get by on the surface.

This kind of her, contrary to the other concubines in the East Palace, she doesn't need such things as beauty incense.

I don't know if it's curiosity, or because of some other reason, seeing Huang Dechang go out with water, Pei Xuanling called him back again.

The man's voice was low, "Give her a try......"

After Huang Dechang responded, he went out with water.

I thought that Jiang Meimei was different from the other concubines in the East Palace......

A moment later, Pei Xuanling came to the study and reviewed the official documents in front of the bookcase.

Jiang Shishi sat next to her grinding, and her red sleeves added fragrance.

During the period, Huang Dechang brought a plate of candied fruit, "Jiang Meiren, this is a carved plum ball, if you feel that grinding is boring, you can taste it to kill time." ”

Jiang Shishi glanced at the plate of candied fruit, and a circle of patterns was carved on the yellow and clear candied fruit.

After being pitted and flattened, it becomes a plum blossom.

The thick plum flesh has a circle of white powder on the outside, I don't know if it's powdered sugar or white frost from pickling.

Huang Dechang saw Jiang Meiren staring at the candied fruit, and thought she had seen something.

The next moment, I saw Jiang Meiren pinching one and putting it in her mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Pei Xuanling glanced up at the woman.

Jiang Shishi nodded, "Sweet and sour, delicious." ”

Glancing at the woman's red lips, Pei Xuanling continued to bow his head and read the official document.

Jiang Shishi is a foodie, especially the candied fruit, which is sweet and sour, and it is still nuclear, and it is not troublesome at all.

She pinched one with a handkerchief and ate it, and after a while, she ate most of the plate of candied fruit.

When she continued to stretch her hand over the handkerchief to the plate of candied fruit, the candied fruit was taken away by the prince.

Jiang Shishi looked at the prince in bewilderment, her eyes full of innocence.

Facing the innocent eyes of the woman, Pei Xuanling still looked serious, "This candied fruit is for you to eat and play, not for you to eat as a meal, and eating too much sour is not good for your stomach." ”

Jiang Shishi: "Okay......"

Although the woman looked unhappy, Pei Xuanling still handed the candied fruit to Huang Dechang, "Take it!" ”

"Yes." Huang Dechang took the candied fruit, in the past, other concubines ate too much food mixed with "beauty dreams", and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't care about them.

Even, I wish they could eat more.

How much Jiang Meiren has eaten now, His Royal Highness began to feel distressed.

After all, it is a medicine that is poisonous, although the "beauty dream" will not hurt people's bodies, but it is not good to eat too much.

Without candied fruit to eat, Jiang Shishi had to focus on grinding.

If it weren't for the fact that the prince had always been generous to her, even if the prince confiscated her candied fruit, she would not think he was a stingy person.

Presumably he thinks she's weak, and he's afraid that she will hurt her stomach from eating too much acid, right?

She couldn't think of any other reason for the prince to confiscate the candied fruit than for her sake.

After all, what bad intentions can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have?

Xu is grinding is too boring, and there is no sweet and sour candied fruit to refresh herself, but when it comes to tea, Jiang Shishi covers her mouth and yawns.

Pei Xuanling noticed the woman's abnormality, "If you are sleepy, go to the inner room to rest." ”

"Good ......" Jiang Shishi put down the ink ingot in her hand and yawned again, "Then the concubine is going to rest, Your Highness should not be too busy, pay attention to rest." ”

Jiang Shishi propped herself up and walked towards the inner room.

However, she was not only sleepy, but also weak.

When she reached the door of the inner room, her head was swollen and she couldn't open her eyes, so she had to hold on to the door frame to slow down.

Just when Jiang Shishi was weak, a warm big palm was wrapped around her waist.
