With the advancement of time, the countdown to the scientific examination has begun, and the students who came to Beijing to catch the examination have fallen into a tense atmosphere. The security of the entire capital has also been tightened to prevent anyone from making trouble and sabotaging the triennial scientific expedition.

On this day, Zhou Gu went to the Ministry of Shangshu Mansion again.

Seeing Su Xingze, he asked directly: "Brother Su, did Xiao Qi write to you again?" ”

Su Xing shook his head, "No." ”

Zhou Gu frowned, "Really?" ”

"Not really."

Zhou Gu sat down, "She didn't write to me either." ”

Su Xing glanced at him, "The scientific examination is imminent, don't think about this, concentrate on preparing for the exam, the seventh sister is probably afraid of affecting your scientific examination, so she didn't bother with letters." ”

Zhou Gu wanted to say, "I'm not afraid of her disturbing me." But with Su Xing's calm eyes, he basked lightly, "too." ”

He sat for a while, talked to Su Xingze for a while, got up and left the Shen Mansion.

After leaving the Shen Mansion, he did not return to the mansion, but went to the East Palace.

In the East Palace, in the prince's study, the prince was dealing with things, and Su Rong was still crooked on the soft collapse in the distance, eating snacks and drinking tea while flipping through the files.

Because Yan Echo specially confessed, on this day, Zhou Gu came to the gate of the East Palace, and when the gatekeeper saw him, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Fourth son, wait a minute, the villain will go to His Royal Highness." ”

After saying that, he ran away.

Zhou Gu was stunned for a moment, after he came to the East Palace as a companion, he had been going to and from the East Palace for many years, and he had been directly in and out, and this was the first time, at the gate of the palace, he was stopped and waited outside. In the past, they all went outside the prince's study, and then they were taught by people.

Hearing that people were coming, Yan echoed his pen for a moment, raised his head, and just wanted to say "please", when he suddenly remembered Su Rong and turned his head to look at her.

Su Rong also heard it, and immediately stood up, "Am I going back directly?" Or do you want to hide in the dark compartments? ”

Yan Echo looked at the large stack of files held by Su Rong and only read half of it, obviously not finished reading the amount of daily tasks she had set for herself, thought about it and said, "Hide!" He didn't stay long. ”

Su Rong nodded, hugged the large stack of files, and quickly went to the back compartment.

Yan echoed and commanded, "Please let him in." ”

The gatekeeper immediately went.

After Su Rong moved the file back to the back cubicle, he quickly walked out, picked up the pastries, fruit plates, and tea in one go, and also took the back cubicle.

Then, she hurried out again, grabbed a mat, and rushed into the back cubicle.

Yan Echo looked at her silently, a little wanted to laugh, but held back.

The door to the back cubicle shut, completely silent of her.

After Zhou Gu waited for someone to come, he didn't go in immediately, but whispered to the gatekeeper with his hands behind his back: "How many days won't I come, what happened to the East Palace?" ”

The gatekeeper blinked, and carefully replied in accordance with the instructions of the housekeeper: "The distinguished guests of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have come to the East Palace, His Royal Highness attaches great importance to it, and he is afraid that he will collide with people. ”

Zhou Gu was curious, "What distinguished guest?" ”

"A man and a woman, both very young, and the villain doesn't know the identities of those two distinguished guests." The gatekeeper really doesn't know. The identities of Su Rong and Feng Ling are known only to the housekeeper.

Zhou Gu nodded and stepped into the East Palace.

The interior of the East Palace is still the same as always, and the people who serve are doing their own things in an orderly manner, which is very regular.

Zhou Gu didn't ask anyone about the guests of the East Palace, after all, the prince was the prince, and he also knew how to maintain a sense of distance from the prince, and he would not have to be clear about everything in the East Palace.

Coming to the prince's kitchen, Qin Luan came out of it, opened the door, and invited Zhou Gu to enter, "Fourth prince, please!" ”

Zhou Gu nodded and entered the prince's study.

Yan Echo sat at the table, there were more than a dozen books on the table in front of him, two of which were spread out, one was held by Yan Echo in his hand, seeing Zhou Gu, Yan Echo put down the fold, and asked gently: "How are you preparing for the exam?" ”

"It's fine." Zhou Gu felt that there was nothing to prepare, "These days, Mrs. Qin has shown me the exam questions from previous years, and called me to the Qin Mansion again, and encouraged me, saying that I should not have pressure. ”

Zhou Gu sat down and said magically: "That old man actually made me feel no pressure!" ”

Yan Hui smiled, "Although Taifu is strict and rigid, he is not unfamiliar with the world, the scientific examination is imminent, so you don't have pressure, it is he who knows that with your temperament, the more he puts pressure on you, the more numb your scalp is, for fear of the opposite effect." ”

Zhou Gu sighed, "This old man has also used tricks on me." ”

How much he values his golden autumn scientific expedition, it seems that he is afraid that he will embarrass him.

He sighed, "I'd rather I take the exam again in three years, and then I'll definitely be more sure than now, and I can get him a three-dollar and a first." ”

"Not sure this year?" Yan Echo looked at him.

"No, my prospective uncle will end up." Zhou Gu said: "I don't have the confidence to test him." ”

Yan Echo has never seen Su Xingze, but Su Xingze and Su Rong are both disciples taught by Xie Yuan, and Su Rong also told him that her eldest brother is very powerful, and at a very young age, she has become a chapter, which is very praised by Xie Yuan, much more than when she praised her, you can see Su Xingze's talent.

He smiled and said: "Taifu admires Xie Yuan very much, and Su Xing is a teacher from him, even if you lose to him, Taifu should not be disappointed." As for the others, don't lose. Otherwise, Taifu is afraid that he will jump with you. ”

Zhou Gu nodded when he heard this, "Except for him, others are really not afraid, Zhao Li'an, a genius in northern Hebei, and Lu Fengyan, a genius in western Sichuan, although these two are talented, but in the past articles, one is too restrained and can't let go, the other is too sword-oriented, and as for others, they are not to be afraid." ”

These words really reveal the frivolity of young people.

Su Rong could hear it clearly in the dark grid, and he could imagine Zhou Gu's appearance when he said this, although his eyebrows and eyes did not necessarily fly, but his eyes must have been full of pride and pride.

She tugged at the corners of her mouth and laughed silently, and the divorce letter in her arms seemed to be a little hot.

Yan echoed his head, "It's good that you know it in your heart." ”

Zhou Gu knew about the scientific expedition, but for other things, he didn't count in his heart, he sighed, "Your Highness, can I talk to you?" ”

Yan Echo paused, and looked at him unexpectedly, "Talking? ”

"Yes, heart-to-heart."

Yan Echo put down the teacup in his hand, "What are you talking about?" ”

Zhou Gu was entangled for a moment, his body twisted, he seemed to be exhausted, struggling for a moment, he scratched his head, "That's it, I don't know what's going on, in recent days, my heart has always been a little unsteady, and I feel like I'm not in decline." ”

"What's going on?" Yan echoed his expression, the pre-exam mentality is the most important, and the state is not good, but it will affect the scientific examination.

Zhou Gu pressed his eyebrows, and seemed a little embarrassed, "I don't know what's going on." He sighed, struggled for a long time, and seemed to say, "Hey, probably because of my fiancée!" ”

Yan echo suddenly fell silent.

In the dark cubicle, Su Rong bit half of the chestnut cake, stuck it in his mouth, and couldn't swallow it for a while.

Yan Echo asked quietly, "What's wrong with your fiancée?" ”

"It's not much, she didn't write to me, and there was a scientific expedition in a few days, but she didn't encourage me." Zhou Gu was depressed, "I went to ask my prospective uncle today, and he said that he didn't receive a letter from my fiancée, and he said that she was probably afraid of disturbing my preparation for the exam, so she didn't write letters. ”

Yan echo was silent.

Su Rong swallowed half of the chestnut cake on the side of her mouth silently, picked up the tea, took a sip, and thought about it, she really didn't expect that before the scientific expedition, her fiancé needed the encouragement of his fiancée's letter? No one told her!

This really belongs to her knowledge blind spot.

Zhou Gu looked at Yan Echo, "That, Your Highness, do you say I'm sick?" I think about it carefully, she is not the person who can write to encourage me, she is a very big person, and now she may forget about my scientific examination by playing every day, but I feel that I have not received her encouragement, and I feel uncomfortable, isn't this sick? ”

Yan Echo didn't know what to say, and was speechless for a while, "You came to me today just to talk about this?" ”

It was the first time he encountered this situation, and he regretted it a little in his heart, he had already known that he would let Su Rong go back to his house, and he went to hide in the lattice, when his lattice was built, the people outside couldn't hear the movement inside, but the people inside listened to the movement outside and heard it very clearly, which means that Su Rong could hear what he and Zhou Gu said now.

Zhou Gu was embarrassed, "Well, it's for this, I think I'm quite sick, it's been a few days, but there's no way, I can't control myself." My brothers weren't at home, and I couldn't tell them, but my grandfather, grandmother, and mother, you know, one of them liked to lecture me, and the other two liked to make fun of me. Hey, I have to come to you. ”
