From that time, Shangguan Chen understood that the bullying of these palace people was deliberately instructed by others.

Otherwise, after so many punishments, there will be people who will keep doing it without changing their minds, and they don't dare to make a big move, they only dare to quietly do something to respond to people.

The purpose of these people is nothing else, that is, to force Shangguan Yu to do it himself, and once he does it, his bad reputation will be spread.

In other words, Shangguan Chen's things were taken out as a target, and he was used as a tool to harm Shangguan Yu.

Shangguan Chen felt that he could think of this, so his imperial brother should also be able to see through this.

But every time he complained to him, he still gritted his teeth after he knew, and would choose to come forward for himself, knowing that if he did it once, there would be new rumors that were very unfavorable to him, but he never ignored them.

This love for him, Shangguan Chen saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

Although he was young back then, he was well protected by Shangguan Yu, so he was still a hairy child who didn't know anything about the world.

But Shangguan Chen understands a truth, that is, he is Shangguan Yu's younger brother, and his brother is so good to him, he should also think about him.

After thinking about this truth clearly, Shangguan Chen chose to turn a blind eye when he encountered those hands and feet again, and never mentioned it to Shangguan Yu.

But when a few accompanying students came to Shangguan Chen's palace to study with him on the orders of the emperor, they naturally saw these things in their eyes.

It's just that these people, except for Chen Qi, are all children of families who have been instilled with various human feelings and sophisticated relationships by their parents since they were children.

Although they didn't know who was targeting Shangguan Chen, they knew that these people themselves couldn't afford to offend, so they didn't even dare to say anything, pretending to be nothing.

Chen Qi was the only one who asked him the question just now when there were only two of them.

It was this question that made Shangguan Chen really open his heart to Chen Qi and regard him as a good friend of his.

Thinking of the original memories, Chen Qi nodded and said.

"Of course I remember, when I just entered the palace, I was curious about why you didn't go to King Yu and the emperor to complain when you were wronged, and every time Lord Yu came to see you, he pretended that nothing had happened."

"If you remember the question you asked, don't you remember my answer?"

Shangguan Chen looked at Chen Qi's eyes and asked.

Of course, Chen Qi still remembered his answer at that time, and was even very impressed, and even remembered the expression of Shangguan Chen clearly when he spoke at that time.

At that time, Shangguan Chen was not tall, he was half a head shorter than Chen Qi, so when he talked to Chen Qi, he had to half-tilt his face, and he said slowly word by word.

"Because if I sue him, the imperial brother will punish those people, so that there will be unpleasant words, so instead of letting him suffer these rumors, it is better for me to pretend that nothing happened and not tell him, anyway, these people only dare to do some small tricks, and they dare not hurt me."

"My royal brother is the best person for me in this world, he has protected me for so many years, it should be my turn to protect him, such mutual care is called brother!"

Recalling what Shangguan Chen had said back then, Chen Qi fell silent.

When he was young, Shangguan Chen already understood the preciousness of brotherhood, and he was older than him, so why did he almost collide with his brother now.

Seeing that Chen Qi was silent, thinking that he recalled what he had said back then, Shangguan Chen spoke.

"Chen Qi, we have been good friends for so many years, I know what you think in your heart, it's not so much that you don't have talent for reading, it's better to say that you just don't like to read."

"Your brother's mind has already been revealed, he just expects you to sit in an official position with him, although I don't agree with his idea, but everything has to be decided by you."

"My suggestion is that before the arrival of the spring boudoir, you really work hard, just think it is for your brother, and then you can't talk about it, I think although he has a good face, but it is not unreasonable to think about it, if you really do what he tells you, you don't get good results, and then you come to discuss what you want to do."

When Shangguan Chen saw Chen Qi actually eating fat for the first time, he guessed that although he was trapped in the house by Chen Shu to study these days, he was afraid that his mind was not put on this at all, and he was just coping with it on the surface.

Chen Shu spoke so unceremoniously just now, I think it was because he was a little too disappointed in his carelessness recently, so he said something like that to kick Chen Qi out of the house for a while.

Shangguan Chen's words just now could be regarded as entering Chen Qi's heart.

He asked himself if he had never taken his studies seriously since these days, or since he came out of the palace as an escort.

In the past, when he was in the palace, everyone didn't say anything, but he himself knew that his qualifications were not good, and every time he spent ten points of effort, he would get the eight-point result that others could get with only five points of effort.

Even Mr. said that he was not the material for the imperial examination, so gradually, he himself gave up a little, anyway, he couldn't get good results after working hard, so why should he work hard.

But now that I think about it, everyone says that their brother is a genius in the sky, and Wenqu Xing is descended to earth, is this really the case? Did he get to this point just by talent?

No!

Chen Qi remembered that when Chen Shu first came to the academy to study, because he was older than other students and had no foundation, he was very excluded there, and he couldn't keep up with the footsteps of others.

But the only thing he has to do is have more tenacity, with the determination not to hit the south wall and not look back, that is, to take the road of studying.

At that time, the family was not wealthy, because at that time, the Chen family only opened a small shop, and after deducting the monthly rent, there was nothing left to support the three children plus the money to send Chen Shu to the academy.

It was a cold winter, and his family couldn't afford a charcoal fire, so he was in the weather when the water was dripping into ice, exhaling hot air into his hands, and stiffly holding a brush to practice his words repeatedly.

I was even reluctant to buy some paper, which was the cheapest kind of straw paper, and I had to use several knives a month to practice calligraphy.

When writing, I am reluctant to write directly with ink, but I have to write it with water first, and then write it lightly with diluted ink, and finally dare to write on it with ink.

Every day before dawn, he got up to the yard to recite the book, and at night his mother sewed and mended by candlelight to do some embroidery work, and he also had to review today's homework again by the light.

The price of books was very expensive, a copy cost a few dollars of silver, and he couldn't afford it, so he went to the bookstore to help people do some chores, in exchange for a free reading for an hour and a half every day.

Not only did he read it, but he also copied it down in a pamphlet he had made so that he could read it over and over again.

Now those hand-copied books are still in Chen Qi's study, let you open a copy casually, every word in it is very upright, and you can know that it was written with heart.

is such a day by day hard work, in exchange for Mr. Academy's sentence "Tianzhong Genius".

In exchange for the examination of children, talents, and people, this series of smooth sailing, as well as the silence when asked by the emperor in the Jinluan Palace, he was confident.

As a brother, Chen Qi knows his brother a thousand times better than outsiders.

He does have talent, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to surpass those who have been studying hard for more than ten years and take the top spot after only a few years of studying.

But he is also diligent, otherwise his talent alone is simply not enough to support him to get to this point.

There are many people who are talented but inactive, and who have not made a name for themselves, and in this matter of studying, people with outstanding talents may not necessarily go faster than those with poor qualifications.

It's just a matter of hard work.

Of course, Chen Shu also has many shortcomings at a glance, such as some vanity.

This kind of vanity does not mean how much he loves money, but that he is very vain about his own name and the evaluation and opinion of others.

But in general, Chen Shu is a good brother, which Chen Qi knows well.

He thought, otherwise he would really try it this time to see if he could get a Mingtang, if not, his brother would drive him out.

It just so happens that he can still do what he likes to do business and trade, which can be regarded as a disguised realization of his wish.

After figuring out this, Chen Qi's feeling changed instantly, he was depressed just now, but now he was full of hope, and looking at it makes people feel vibrant.

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, stretched out his arm and grabbed Shangguan Chen, and asked very seriously.

"I said that you are a thirteenth prince, if I am really kicked out of the house by my brother, you must lend me a sum of capital to do business! We've been together for so many years. ”

Shangguan Chen saw that he had accepted his suggestion, and finally let go, and laughed.

"Don't worry, I don't have a lot of capital, I still have tens of thousands of taels, I can lend it to you, but I really want to ask you about something today."

"What's the matter, I said why did you suddenly come to our house to look for me today, it turned out that there was something to ask for, but don't worry, with the friendship between the two of us, I must know everything, say everything, and tell you everything I know clearly, explain it clearly!"

Chen Qi patted his chest and assured Shangguan Chen, and almost raised his hand to God to bless him.

Seeing him take the bait, Shangguan Chen smiled meaningfully, just showing a set of teeth-like teeth, and his eyes narrowed.
