A man's deep voice came from his ear, "This can't hold on?" Help you in and rest. ”

Someone suddenly held her around her waist, Jiang Shishi's first reaction was to tremble in fright, but she still had no strength in her body.

Until I heard the voice of the prince, I was inexplicably relieved.

Jiang Shishi was confused and leaned her body weight on the prince.

The woman at this moment is like a drunk, very heavy, Pei Xuanling has to hold her waist tightly.

A woman's waist is soft, and with each step, the touch of the palm becomes stronger.

Huang Dechang, who was outside the door, had been waiting for the prince to call him in, or to ask Chunxing to go in and wait for Jiang Meiren to change her clothes and rest.

Because, in the past, after other concubines fell into the dream of beauty, they were all first-class palace maids in the front yard who served the concubines and lay down.

Today, Huang Dechang waited and waited without waiting for the prince to call him, and when he turned his head, he saw two bodies clinging to each other on the window.

It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has started it personally, and he doesn't need these minions anymore.

In the inner room, when she got to the bedside, Pei Xuanling helped the woman lie down, took off her shoes for her, and let her sleep with her clothes.

It's not too early, and Pei Xuanling doesn't plan to review the official documents, so he changes his clothes, blows out the candle and lies down.

Presumably it was the beauty dream that had an effect, and before he lay down, he heard the woman next to the pillow talking in his dream.

Pei Xuanling supported his body with his left elbow, his ear was close to the woman's lips, and he heard the woman announcing the name of the dish: "Steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, braised pig, braised duck, sauced chicken, bacon, Songhua belly, ......"

At the end, the woman also "smashed" her lips, "hehe" and laughed, "It's delicious......"

"This Ejiao cake tastes good, and it's good for your body after eating it......"

After Pei Xuanling heard this, his thin lips pursed lightly, and his eyes were deep.

Before that was over, the woman sat up with her back to him, still humming a cheerful unknown tune.

"Three circles on the left, three circles on the right, twist your neck, twist your buttocks, go to bed early and get up early, let's do exercise......"

As she hummed, I saw her hands move to the left and then to the right a few times.

Then he stretched his neck a few times, twisted his waist and hips.

His eyes fell on the woman, Pei Xuanling's face was pale, but his whole body was hot.

After the woman finished humming a little song and making the movements, she continued to fall asleep.

"......" Pei Xuanling propped his left hand on the side of his ear, lying on his side beside the woman, his eyes fell on the woman's face, waiting for her next reaction.

However, waiting and waiting, only waiting for the woman's gradually steady breathing.

In her dreams, there is nothing else but food and exercise?

Beauty Dream is a colorless and odorless medicinal powder, and it will only be effective after a woman takes it.

Once a woman takes it, she will dream about what they dream of, or what they are haunted by.

There are so many concubines in the East Palace, only Jiang Meiren has never tried the beauty dream.

The reason why Pei Xuanling gave her a try was to see what she had in her dreams.

After the other concubines in the East Palace took the dream of a beauty, they either dreamed of sleeping or dreaming of promotion.

This Jiang beauty alone! The mind is full of appetite, otherwise it is the way to exercise and maintain health......

I should have thought that she was so good!

This night, the woman next to the pillow was asleep.

Pei Xuanling closed his eyes, but his mind recalled the softness of his palm, and the way the woman turned her back to him and writhed in front of him.

It's cute, but it's also a little sultry......

Thinking of these, how can Pei Xuanling sleep?

I have to force myself to think about those serious court matters like last time.

In this way, in the second half of the night, he gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, Jiang Shishi was sleeping soundly, and someone pinched her cheek so hard that she woke up in pain.

"......" opened her eyes in a daze, and saw the crown prince, the culprit, glaring at her coldly, with his hand still pinching her face, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”

"Get up and wait for the lonely to change clothes and wash up." Pei Xuanling let go of his hand with a cold face, lifted the brocade quilt and got out of bed.

"Oh......" Jiang Shishi just got up, and the whole person was lazy and tired.

Slowly lifted the brocade quilt, only to find that he slept in a kimono last night.

Jiang Shishi knew that every time she went to bed, the prince didn't touch her, so she didn't think much about it.

A palace maid and eunuch came in with water and clean robes.

Jiang Shishi first served the prince to wash, and then served the man to change into court clothes.

During this period, she always felt tired and didn't sleep well, and yawned again and again.

Seeing Jiang Meiren yawning, Huang Dechang knew that this was caused by a beauty's dream.

After a woman takes a beautiful dream, she dreams a lot at night, and she will not sleep well, and she will naturally feel tired and in good spirits.

Jiang Meiren took less than this, and the rest of the concubines in the East Palace took a lot, and they were dreaming almost all night, so His Royal Highness would exempt them from morning province.

"Didn't sleep well?" Overhead, a man's muffled questioning voice was heard.

Jiang Shishi nodded, "Well, I'm still so sleepy......"

After speaking, she covered her mouth and yawned again.

Pei Xuanling: "You're going to say hello to the side concubine in a while, and you have to pick up and carry it if you don't sleep well." ”

The corners of Jiang Shishi's mouth twitched slightly: "......"

She's so sleepy, shouldn't she be told to rest a little longer?

She heard from the other concubines in the East Palace that after they went to bed, the prince would be sympathetic to them and exempt them from morning province.

How did she get here, not only did she avoid her morning reflection, but also let her cheer up and carry it.

are all concubines, why is the difference so big?

It seems that the good treatment is someone else's......

Since the prince said so, Jiang Shishi could only cheer up, "The concubine doesn't know what's going on, obviously she slept very early last night, why are she still so sleepy?" It's weird......"

As soon as the words fell, the prince gritted his teeth and said, "Of course you are sleepy when you talk in your dreams all night." ”

"Talking in your dreams?" Jiang Shishi asked: "What did the concubine say in her dreams?" ”

Pei Xuanling: "Meals." ”

"What meal?"

"Manchu and Han are all seated." Pei Xuanling also said: "You not only dream of eating, but also sleepwalk to exercise." ”

"......" Jiang Shishi's face was slightly sneering, she only remembered that she ate a lot of delicious food before going to bed yesterday, and then after eating, she exercised for a while, and then fell asleep.

I didn't expect these to be all dreams?

Usually I don't remember it when I wake up from a dream, but this dream is remembered clearly, and it is a little scary.

Just when Jiang Shishi was surprised, the prince's cold voice came from above her head: "In view of the fact that you talked in your dreams and sleepwalked last night, and you couldn't sleep because of the noise, you are now punished to be a vegetarian for ten days." ”

"......" Jiang Shishi frowned, looking up at the man innocently, "The concubine doesn't want to be like this, but who can control the thing when she falls asleep?" ”

"Moreover, the concubine is weak and can't stand the ...... of being a vegetarian alone"

"So Lone only punishes you to be a vegetarian for ten days." Pei Xuanling said in a high-sounding manner: "Moreover, a proper vegetarian diet is beneficial and harmless to the body. ”

Jiang Shishi lowered her head and reluctantly replied: "Okay......"

When the prince finished changing clothes and washing, the prince went to the hall for breakfast.

Chun Xing entered the inner room and combed Jiang Shishi's hair.

While combing her hair, she asked in a low voice: "Little master, the slave maid doesn't look good at His Highness, I heard that His Highness also punished you for being a vegetarian, should you exercise last night and make Your Highness unhappy?" ”

"I didn't." Jiang Shishi sat in front of the dresser and shook her head, "But I seem to have exercised when I sleepwalk......"

"You, you ......" Chun Xing looked helpless, "Let the slave say anything about you." ”

"Chunxing, when you were keeping vigil, did you find me talking in my dreams and sleepwalking?" Jiang Shishi tilted her head and asked.

Chun Xing thought for a moment, "It seems that you occasionally talk in your dreams, but the slave has never seen you sleepwalk." ”

Jiang Shishi: "......" is strange, why did she sleepwalk last night?

"Ah......" Jiang Shishi couldn't hold back and yawned again.

Chun Xing waited for her to change into a clean skirt, "Little master, come back in the morning, you can sleep again." ”

"Well, I'm going to have to get some sleep." A yawn, tears about to come out, "I don't know how to do it, no matter how I sleep, I can't sleep enough." ”

Chunxing: "You haven't slept for a long time, and at first glance, you will be more tired, of course you will be sleepy." ”

"But I didn't sleep last night." Jiang Shishi explained: "When I got up this morning, I didn't take off my clothes. ”

"Don't be embarrassed." Chun Xing decided that her little master had succeeded in sleeping last night, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince called for water several times last night, and you not only went to bed, but also been pampered by His Royal Highness several times." ”

Next, Jiang Shishi explained a lot to Chunxing, but Chunxing didn't believe her.

Forget it, don't explain it, the more you explain it, the more chaotic it becomes.

But she thought about it for a while, except that she and the prince were lying on the same bed, and the dream of eating and exercising was real, and there was no trace of the impression of the waiter in her mind.

Then why did the prince call for water several times?

**

As soon as April passes, the temple examination begins on the third day of the fifth month.

The palace examination is the highest standard examination in the imperial examination.

The palace examination of the Eastern Liang Kingdom is only one day, and the test is strategy.

Candidates enter the palace at dawn, go through rituals such as roll call, loose papers, praise, and salute, and then receive the questions and take the exam in the Baohe Palace.

Every year, according to the current social problems of Dongliang Kingdom, three to five policy questions are proposed, so that candidates can write unique opinions.

In order to avoid leaking the questions, each question was personally written by the emperor the day before.

There are three questions for this year, one of which is based on the fire in the Gongyuan a few days ago.

The candidates finished the questions until dusk, and then left the palace one after another, waiting for the release of the list.

In the early morning of the fourth day of the fifth month, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of the Hanlin Academy read the papers together.

Emperor Jianyuan let go, and in this palace examination, only 120 people were admitted out of 280 people.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the ministers finished reading the papers.

At dawn on this day, Pei Xuanling went to the Ministry of Rites early.

When he got there, Xue Mao, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, handed over the list of candidates admitted to the palace examination and the articles of the candidates admitted to the palace examination to the prince.

In addition, the ministers also selected thirty excellent examination papers, waiting for the prince to lead them to the emperor for review, and the emperor appointed the first-class personnel.

At this moment, there are only Pei Xuanling and Huang Dechang in the study.

Pei Xuanling first glanced at the ten lines and glanced at the names on the admission list.

He saw Xue Youcai in the list, but he didn't see the name of Jiang Meiren's brother Jiang Chongjin.

"Huang Dechang, you find Jiang Chongjin's exam paper and show it to Lone." Pei Xuanling ordered lightly.

After Huang Dechang responded, he found Jiang Chongjin's test paper in a stack of test papers and handed it to the prince.

Pei Xuanling carefully read Jiang Chongjin's article, and probably knew why Jiang Chongjin was not admitted.

First of all, he had seen the list of those who were admitted, and most of them were candidates from prestigious families.

As for the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy, the first choice for reading the papers was from the families of princes and nobles.

Because most of them are official eunuchs, if they promote newcomers from big families, they will protect each other in the officialdom, and they will have a good response.

Poor students have no background, and they are of little use to them, so they exclude them.

Of course, in order to block the crowd of students from poor families all over the world, they will admit a few candidates who look like poor students.

But if you look closely, those selected poor families actually have an intertwined relationship with the princes and nobles.

Even like Xue Youcai, there is an uncle who is a big official in the capital.

In addition, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy like to have gorgeous rhetoric and beautiful handwriting.

Jiang Chongjin writes well, but the rhetoric is not gorgeous enough.

However, he really likes Jiang Chongjin's article.

The content is concise, in one sentence.

In particular, the article about the fire in Gongyuan solves the problem through all aspects.

If you are an official, you will be a practical official.

With his understanding of his father, if his father saw such an article, he might not like it.

It's a pity that Jiang Chongjin's article does not meet the preferences of those sour Confucians, and he is not responsible for grading the papers.

Just as Pei Xuanling was thinking, Huang Dechang whispered: "Your Highness, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy have arrived, we have to go to the Baohe Palace and hand over the scroll to the emperor for review." ”

Pei Xuanling nodded, and sandwiched Jiang Chongjin's paper between the thirty excellent test papers.

In addition, he also found a candidate's test paper at random and stuffed it into it, creating the illusion that he had accidentally made a mistake.

If it was someone else, he might be able to help say a few words and recommend it to his father.

But Jiang Chongjin is Jiang Meiren's brother, he can't help it, so he can only create some opportunities in private.

Seeing this scene, Huang Dechang looked surprised.

Then he looked down and pretended not to see anything.

In order to give Jiang Chongjin a chance, His Royal Highness made a risky move.

Whether the emperor likes Jiang Chongjin's article or not is one thing, in case the emperor knows about His Royal Highness's move, he will be annoyed by His Highness?

Immediately afterwards, Pei Xuanling took the ministers to the Baohe Palace.

When they arrived at the Baohe Palace, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy all sat down.

At the top, Emperor Jianyuan sat on the dragon chair.

On the bookcase in front of him lay more than thirty articles carefully selected by the ministers.

The entire hall was very quiet, only the sound of Emperor Jianyuan reading the papers.

Emperor Jianyuan didn't look very carefully, basically at a glance and ten lines.

When you come across an article you like, take a closer look.

If he doesn't like it, he puts it aside.

Emperor Jianyuan also looked at about a dozen articles and saw the whole situation clearly.

In these so-called excellent articles, they are basically children of aristocratic families.

picked a few people who seemed to be from a poor family, but they were just afraid of falling into the mouth, but in fact, they were still side relatives of the princes and nobles.

Moreover, these articles begin with the praise of the imperial court, how he, the emperor, wisely governed the Eastern Liang Kingdom, and then express his gratitude to the emperor for coming to the palace in person.

Then he began to answer the questions, and the whole article was ornate and pompous.

However, even though Emperor Jianyuan's heart was churning with anger, the surface was still calm without any waves.

It wasn't until halfway through it that I finally saw an article that I liked quite a lot.

After reading this carefully, Emperor Jianyuan only took a cursory look at the more than a dozen articles in the back.

After reading more than thirty articles, Emperor Jianyuan looked at the ministers below him expressionlessly: "I want to ask, what kind of emperor am I in the eyes of your Aiqing?" ”

Next, dozens of ministers looked at each other, no one could guess the emperor's emotions, and no one dared to answer.

Seeing that no one dared to answer, Emperor Jianyuan said: "According to the thirty articles selected by the Aiqing, I can see that in the eyes of the Aiqing, I am a faint gentleman who likes to be patted on the back!" ”

As soon as the voice fell, the ministers below knelt down in fear.

Emperor Jianyuan had a calm face, and did not say that all the people who were selected were princes and nobles, but only said that the article itself was a problem.

"Thirty articles, the style of writing is generally superficial, and the style is laid out, asking them to write a strategy for governing the country according to the topic, and they will know how to shoot the court and me! Can sycophants solve substantive problems? Yes? ”

"What's more, he wrote 3,000 words just by patting on the back, coupled with the exaggerated style, he wrote more than 7,000 words for a strategy, and one article is worth several articles!"

Emperor Jianyuan vigorously swayed a bunch of exam papers, and suddenly, dozens of articles fell under the hall.

"I am a talent who chooses to rule the country and level the world, not a person who chooses to make sycophants!"

A thunderous voice resounded over the hall, and the ministers' ears were numb, and their bodies were like rocks, unable to move.

In the face of Emperor Jianyuan's angry scolding, the ministers trembled and kowtowed to the ground, not daring to say a word.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Jianyuan took the article in his hand, and his tone softened slightly, "However, among these dozens of articles, there is still a good article." ”

"This test paper in my hand, three questions, the content of the articles is concise and straightforward, the style of writing is simple and pragmatic, especially the policy questions of the fire in the Gongyuan, it is simply in one sentence."

He first cited the flammable materials in the examination shed of the Gongyuan Academy, and proposed to completely renovate the Gongyuan and change the materials to a fireproof structure.

In addition, he proposed that in addition to the illuminated candles and the kitchen, open flames should be prohibited in the Gongyuan, especially the examiners and candidates who have some smoking bags, and once discovered, the examination and invigilation qualifications will be cancelled............

"I don't know what the emperor said about this article... Who is the candidate? One of the ministers lifted his lead-heavy head slightly, and glanced at the emperor secretly.

Emperor Jianyuan spread the test paper in front of the bookcase, "It's a candidate named Jiang Chongjin." ”

Pei Xuanling: "......" knew that his father would like Jiang Chongjin's article.

I heard that it was a candidate named Jiang Chongjin, and the ministers below looked at each other, and most of the ministers were not very impressed by this person.

Some ministers will act according to the emperor's thoughts, although they have no impression of this Jiang Chongjin, but they still said: "Weichen still has a little impression of this Jiang Chongjin, and I thought that his article was well written, but he couldn't get into the eyes of your colleagues, and the minister couldn't do it." ”

After he passed the responsibility on to other ministers, he said: "Since the emperor admires Jiang Chongjin so much, why don't you make this person the first champion in the palace test?" ”
