Chapter 21: The Exam
It's winter.
Every early morning, when the palace people get up early and are on duty, they will always find a thin layer of frost that grew last night, which is really frosty and heavy.
He Qianwei naturally couldn't see these scenes, but the palace people around her changed into winter clothes one after another, which is enough to explain the facts.
She thought that this year would end without waves, but at this time, the news came that she was going to take a small test.
There are only a few masters in the study, and they often get together to discuss in their spare time, and this time they think that the knowledge taught is enough, and it is time to test the students.
Calligraphy, arithmetic, painting...... Whatever the study has taught in the past, it is necessary to finish the exam without landing, and the results will be evaluated by the Taifu to determine how much the student has learned.
Xiao Zaiyang didn't have any special reaction to this. After all, as the crown prince, his teaching was originally stricter than others, and coupled with the emperor's concern, it was almost like he had to take the school exam every day, and he was already used to it.
And the other people who are studying in the study room have also invited their husbands to teach in their own homes in the past, or they have also experienced this stubble, and their mentality is quite stable.
Looking at it this way, as the only student among all who has never taken the test, He Qianwei inevitably became nervous.
She used to be taken by her parents to study, and she was usually asked a few words casually; Later, I invited a formal teacher, but unfortunately it didn't take long to catch up with the accident, and naturally I didn't experience the exam.
Although even if her grades are not satisfactory, she will not be reprimanded by her elders like others, but she always feels bad when she does not take the exam......
Wait a minute. Does Your Majesty count me as half an elder?
In private, His Majesty is my father's best friend; Yu Gong, my entry into the palace was also finalized by His Majesty.
Then if I don't do well in the exam, won't I have to make His Majesty's face disgraced?
He Qianwei, who suddenly thought of this level of tricks, folded her fingers and counted, only to feel that her mood was heavier.
After a while, she got up from the warm couch with a carp, packed up her bookbag and hurriedly took the people with her, and walked out of the Yaoguang Hall against the cold wind.
He Qianwei had a clear purpose, and went to the East Palace without distraction.
Go get a little master.
When he approached the East Palace, He Qianwei walked all the way to the gate unimpeded, and then walked along the palace road to the main hall, but he turned a corner and collided with Ji Xiu in the courtyard.
Ji Xiu was still holding the dust whisk that never left his body, and he was leaning on the small pavilion in the courtyard looking at the small lake, which for some reason looked a little sad.
However, the next moment, Ji Xiu saw He Qianwei with sharp eyes.
He shook the dust with an indifferent face, and smiled like a fox from a short distance: "Why is the girl here?" ”
Looking at it this way, sure enough, the previous idea was an illusion...... He probably just had nothing to do, running out to look at the scenery and think about life.
He Qianwei overturned the sadness that she didn't know where to fight before, and replied while walking inside: "There are some things I want to discuss with Your Highness." Is he there? ”
"I've been reading since I woke up in the morning, and the girl came at the right time."
Ji Xiu glanced at the location of the study, stepped forward and took the bookbag that He Qianwei carried in her hand and led her towards the end.
When the group walked away and could no longer hear the sound here, the little eunuch guarding the door withdrew his gaze, and the companion on duty with him sighed: "It's really worthy of Ji Xiu's father-in-law, who was just kicked out of the study, and when he turned his head, he dared to lead someone to His Royal Highness." ”
"You don't want to see who Grandpa Ji is carrying." The other party put his cold hand into his sleeve, squeezed his eyebrows and looked at him for a long time: "Don't say that you have just been kicked out, you have been punished, as long as this one comes, my father-in-law can escape by the east wind." ”
The two chatted and whispered a few words, and then they stopped with satisfaction and continued to be the door god.
At this time, He Qianwei had already entered the study with Ji Xiu.
In fact, He Qianwei didn't quite understand why Ji Xiu came with him...... It's not a matter of once or twice that she goes to the East Palace as a guest, and she has long been familiar with this place as if she had returned home, even if she couldn't find the study without anyone leading the way.
He Qianwei wondered in her heart, and it wasn't until Ji Xiu gave her hand to say hello that Xiao Zaiyang, who was on top, smashed a book with her backhand, that she suddenly realized.
Sure enough, I made a mistake before and was kicked out! The thing that lingers with a sense of sadness is not an illusion at all!
Ji Xiu may have used He Qianwei as a shield and came to Xiao Zaiyang to brush his favor......
Even when he came in, he deliberately kept a distance from He Qianwei, and he couldn't understand why at the time, but now that he looks at it, I'm afraid he knew that he would have to eat some flesh and skin, and he was worried about hurting He Qianwei, so he had such a show.
I'm afraid this mind is deeper than the vicious villain in the book......
He Qianwei sighed, watched from the wall that Ji Xiu skillfully dodged the book, picked it up and held it high, and continued to speak: "The girl smiled. ”
“…… Well, it's funny indeed. ”
He Qianwei replied.
Ji Xiu also knew that he couldn't hide this little trick from people at all, so he didn't even frown when he heard this.
On the contrary, when Xiao Zaiyang heard these two conversations, he subconsciously raised his head, and smiled when he saw He Qianwei who was next: "Why are you here?" He turned his head, snorted coldly at Ji Xiu again, and said, "Okay, don't make a fuss in front of Lonely, hurry back and make arrangements." ”
"Hey, slave and maid are going."
Ji Xiu responded with kindness, and he didn't go out of the door with a flick of his sleeves.
He Qianwei really couldn't understand what dumb riddles these two people were playing, so she asked Xiao Zaiyang: "What did he do to make you so angry?" ”
Xiao Zaiyang had already gotten up from his seat at this time, and was about to be by He Qianwei's side, so he took the time to reply: "It doesn't matter what you've done. In the final analysis, it depends on my father. ”
It's really not Ji Xiu's fault this time.
Just as Ji Xiu went to the Qinzheng Palace in the past, he was always scolded by the emperor three or five times out of ten, and he was not less angry at Xiao Zaiyang's side.
It stands to reason that this job has to be Tang Zhengde's, but this person who grew up with the emperor is in love, and he can still be called a big companion in private, not to mention that Xiao Zaiyang and the emperor are embarrassed to let people be tossed when they are old, even Ji Xiu will not be so colorless, so that his top boss will suffer.
It is logical that every time the emperor wants to do something, he always asks Tang Zhengde to give orders to Ji Xiu, and as an unlucky ghost who really does something, Ji Xiu always can't escape the fate of being coldly treated by Xiao Zaiyang afterwards.
Ji Xiu's resentful deeds are not a secret in the palace, basically everyone knows about it, and even He Qianwei has heard Ruolan tell several different stories when she was bored.
For example, Xiao Zaiyang couldn't drink milk in the past, so the emperor asked Ji Xiulei not to move to send a cup every morning and had to watch people drink it in person, in return, His Royal Highness the Prince asked the Tai Hospital to deliberately prepare a decoction that recuperated but had a huge bitterness, and Ji Xiu had to accompany him to pour a bowl when he drank milk;
For example, the emperor played the leaf cards with relish for a while, and there was a faint tendency to indulge in them, Xiao Zaiyang simply asked Ji Xiu to search the Qinzheng Palace and destroy all the leaf cards, and Ji Xiu was also borrowed by the emperor to find the deliberately hidden objects every day, and if he couldn't find it, he had to pour another bowl of soup and medicine;
…… Etcetera.
It was Xiao Zaiyang who said this, He Qianwei also reacted quickly, and changed the answer fluently: "What did Your Majesty do again?" ”
She didn't even bother to hide the excitement in her words, so she almost wrote "Speaking out makes me happy" on her face.
Xiao Zaiyang also knew what the other party was thinking, so he glanced at it helplessly, and said: "Taifu said before that he wanted to take a small test, and my father asked Ji Xiu to go to the Qinzheng Palace, and brought back all the articles I wrote when I first studied policy theory, saying that it was to let me see my own shortcomings. ”
The emperor's hand seems to care slowly, but in fact, it is ...... Xiao Zaiyang was annoyed when he saw the bullshit article in the past, and he didn't want to admit that he wrote this thing himself.
He didn't keep even one copy of the original manuscript himself, who knew that the emperor would be so idle, and when he took it for inspection, he asked people to copy a copy and keep it for himself, and then took it out at this time to block Xiao Zaiyang.
Xiao Zaiyang guessed reasonably, since his father dared to send this pile out, he must still have a copy in his hand.
He Qianwei's eyes lit up immediately, and her gaze couldn't stop drifting to the position of the pile of books above.
"Where? Let me see! ”
“……”
Xiao Zaiyang's expression was indescribable, obviously he didn't want to take out the black history, but He Qianwei glanced at it, and felt that he couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to walk over and take out a copy and hand it to He Qianwei.
"Whoa."
As he said this, he couldn't bear to turn his head as if he was looking at himself.
He Qianwei took it unceremoniously and looked at it carefully.
After a while, there was a desperate suppression, but it still overflowed the smile between the lips.
Xiao Zaiyang's eyes were blank, and he gave up on himself with the mentality of breaking the jar and breaking it.
“…… I'm sorry, but it's really ......" He Qianwei closed the article, put it on the table, tried her best to suppress the smile, and said: "It turns out that when His Royal Highness first learned strategy, he was the same as me......
When she said this, she really couldn't resist the urge to laugh, but she was worried that she couldn't let Xiao Zaiyang not come off the stage, and her expression was a little distorted for a while.
Xiao Zaiyang pinched her cheeks helplessly, used a little strength as punishment, and said helplessly when he withdrew his hand: "Laugh if you want." ”
He Qianwei seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and immediately laughed.
When she laughed enough, Xiao Zaiyang's heart was numb, and he stared at He Qianwei expressionlessly with his chin propped up, and asked, "So what are you here for?" ”
His expression looked a little bluffing at first glance, but He Qianwei didn't feel that the other party was murdering him at all, but suddenly lifted the bookbag that had been on his lap and put it on the table, and his eyes widened.
"Quiz!" She exclaimed, "I'm here to find you to open a small stove!" ”
Thinking of the merciless ridicule just now, He Qianwei quietly blushed, quite embarrassed: "...... Well, I said I didn't mean it, do you believe it...... The main thing is that it's really funny. ”
Xiao Zaiyang had no psychological fluctuations: "That's right, you might as well not explain." ”
He lost He Qianwei's words, so he took out an exercise book from the bookbag and opened it to look at it.
The two are at the same table, and Xiao Zaiyang is actually clear about He Qianwei's level, this action is just subconscious, after all, he can even memorize what is written on it.
He asked, "Do you want to pass, or do you want to get all the first?" ”
