Su Rong bought a total of seven or eight pastries and brought them back to the East Palace.

When she entered the back door of the East Palace, she handed one to the gatekeeper, "Brother, it's hard work, I'll give you food."

The gatekeeper hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't be a slave, girl, eat it yourself!"

"Take it for you, you're welcome." Su Rong has been used to bribing gatekeepers since he was a child, and when he lives in the East Palace, he can't change the habit of buying things and buying more for the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper had no choice but to take it, flattered, "Thank you, girl."

Su Rong waved his hand and said, "No thanks." , and entered the palace with Feng Ling.

Walking to the fork in the road leading to the prince's study and the Yuzhen Pavilion, Su Rong picked out the five-kernel flower cake in his hand, thought about it, took another bag of hawthorn cake, and then said to Feng Ling: "His Royal Highness the prince should still be in the study, I will send it to him, you are not allowed to eat first when you go back, wait for me to eat together."

Feng Ling swallowed his saliva, "Okay, then master, you can come back quickly."

"Got it." Su Rong took off the curtain fence, stuffed it into him, took the pastry, and went to the prince's study.

Yan Echo was indeed in the study, reading Ning Chi's letter, and when he heard footsteps, he raised his head and looked at the door.

Qin Luan put down the teacup, glanced at it, and whispered, "Your Highness, it's Miss Rong who is back."

Yan Echo nodded.

Qin Luan immediately opened the door, Su Rongzheng walked to the door, and was about to ask out loud, when she saw the door open from the inside, Qin Luan greeted her, "Miss Rong."

Su Rong smiled at her, "Lady Qin."

handed her the hawthorn cake in his hand, "Give it to you to eat, hawthorn cake is not easy to gain weight when eaten at night, and it also helps digestion."

Qin Luan was stunned, "Slave maid......

Su Rong raised her hand to stop her, stuffed the hawthorn cake into her hand, and walked into the prince's study, seeing Yan Huisheng sitting at the table reading the letter, she didn't say anything to disturb, she directly put the five-kernel flower cake in front of his table, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the prince, you are right, the pastries of Chengjizhai are indeed selling well, Feng Ling spent ten taels of silver to find someone to buy a place at the front of the queue, and only then did he grab the last share of the five-kernel flower cake."

Yan Echo glanced down and asked with a smile, "The last one?"

"The last two, I'll keep one for Feng Ling to take back."

Yan Echo smiled and bowed, "Thank you!"

Su Rong waved his hand, "You're welcome."

Yan Echo put down the letter in his hand and asked gently, "Did you have a good time?" Are you in any trouble?"

"No, I went to the Zhuangyuan Building to eat, and when I was queuing, I happened to get acquainted with Lu Fengyan and Zhao Shu, who were talented in western Sichuan, and halfway through the meal, I happened to meet Xie Lin again, I was wearing a curtain fence and didn't take a picture with him. However, he should have some suspicions, I don't want the Protector Mansion to know that I have entered Beijing, so as not to affect Zhou Gu's scientific expedition, and I have to trouble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to wipe out my traces of today as much as possible. It doesn't have to be wiped without a trace, and it can be dealt with until the scientific examination starts without being found out and revealed." Su Rong and Yan Echo discussed.

"It's easy, I'll let people do it." Yan Echo nodded and came down.

Su Rong was relieved, and mentioned Lu Fengyan to him again, "Zhou Gu said that Lu Fengyan's article was too sword-oriented? But I don't look at him like this, he is very restrained and calm, which is a big gap from his writing? Judging by his face, he doesn't look like a person who is not tactful and likes to be extreme."

Yan Echo said thoughtfully, "Is that so?"

Su Rong nodded, "We shared a table together and had a meal, and he was polite in his words and behaved in moderation. I wonder if the article he passed out was deliberate? Hide the truth? is afraid of being targeted, so people misunderstand that although he has great talent, he looks at people with articles. People who like to go off the rails are often difficult to control, even if anyone wants to win him over, they must look at him more and consider more, and they will not easily draw him into their own camp. Is he deliberately protecting himself?"

Yan Huisheng pondered for a moment when he heard this, "I believe in your ability to recognize people, if you say so, it is indeed possible."

Su Rong said, "Have you read the article he wrote? Is there one today? If I take a look, let's study him."

Yan Echo nodded, "Yes."

He stretched out his hand, and under a stack of papers, he pulled out a stack of articles, "These are the articles revealed by the students who are going to take the scientific examination in the golden autumn, and one of them is Lu Fengyan, which was copied by someone."

He flipped through the pages and found the article and handed it to Su Rong, "This is his most recent article a few days ago, and it is indeed as Zhou Gu said, he likes to take the sword and find another way."

Su Rong took it, glanced at ten lines, and quickly finished reading Lu Fengyan's article, and didn't find any problems, but she felt that it shouldn't be, so she read it carefully for the second time, and after that, she frowned, read it again, and then put down his article, thought for a moment, and said affirmatively to Yan Echo: "If I hadn't read it for the third time, I wouldn't have been able to find the contradiction in this article."

She put her hand in one place and pointed to Yan Echo, "Look here, are you deliberately turning the pen? It is precisely because of this that from here, his article began to move towards an inflection point, although it is very subtle, the connection is not abrupt, and the whole article is also smooth as a whole, which makes people excited, and calls it a good article. But after careful consideration, I can see that it is from here that the intention of deviating is revealed, and this deliberate concealment behind the pen is done to the extreme obscurity and without traces, if it were not for the person I met with him today, and the dealings with him for a close meal, I also felt that he was such a person from the article, and he would not feel the slightest disobedience."

After Su Rong finished speaking, he sighed, "This article is indeed absolutely written, it is very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is very intocentive."

After she finished speaking, she guessed again, "Zhou Gu must not have had close contact with Lu Fengyan, otherwise it wouldn't be his evaluation."

Yan echo heard her mention Zhou Gu twice, both of them were on the matter, very calm, raised his eyes to look at her, pressed the thoughts in his heart, and said softly: "He did not contact Lu Fengyan, that day, talented people from all over Beijing gathered in Juxian Building to discuss policies, he and your eldest brother, Xie Lin went to the audit together, the conservatives represented by Zhao Li'an, a genius in northern Hebei, fought against the radicals of Lu Fengyan, a genius in western Sichuan, it is said that Lu Fengyan had a sharp tone that day, and he was very talented in sophistry. There were countless people gathered in Juxian Tower that day, and later, after Lunze, his remarks also spread throughout the capital, so no one doubted that Lu Fengyan did it on purpose, and only treated others as his name."

After he finished speaking, he said, "It would not be surprising if he did Juxian Tower on purpose that day. It is said that the eldest brother and the second brother of Lone went to Juxian Building that day. The younger brothers, who were lonely, also went to join in the fun."

"You didn't go?" Su Rong asked.

"Lonely didn't go." Yan Hui shook his head, "Father is staring at Lone, it's not good for Lone to go there."

As soon as he said this, Su Rong knew that it seemed that the emperor was staring at the prince very closely, and it had reached the point where he, a prince, didn't even dare to set foot in Juxian Tower, she sighed, "Your Majesty, isn't you afraid that the eldest prince, the second prince, and other princes will seek power and profit? If they can go, you can't?"

"They are not the princes, so my father will not feel threatened by them." Yan replied, "Moreover, they are not as famous as Lone."

Su Rong understood, and looked at Yan Echo speechlessly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, as a prince, you are almost seven or eight points satisfied?" What do you want to do too well?"

Yan Echo was speechless for a while.

Su Rong sighed again, "The matter has come to this, and there is no other way. You can only break the game first, so that Your Majesty can let down his guard against you."

She came up with an idea, "Why don't you make a mistake first?" A perfect person will be jealous in front of ordinary people, not to mention that you are a prince."

Yan Echo asked, "What kind of mistake should Lone make?"

Su Rong blinked, "It doesn't hurt the roots, it can give you a breath, and make Your Majesty feel that you are still young and frivolous, not enough to pose a threat to the throne and the imperial power in his hands."

Yan Echo sighed softly, "You think Gu didn't think about it? Taifu Qin mentioned it a long time ago, but this is too difficult, and once it is not done properly, it will have the opposite effect."

He paused, and then said, "Moreover, how do you know that my father is just waiting for an opportunity to catch the fault of the orphan? A small mistake may be magnified by the father's wishes, and the eldest brother and second brother and younger brothers will add fuel to the fire."

He said helplessly: "Sitting in this position, in fact, there is no room for half a mistake, perhaps, one mistake, it will be doomed

Not anymore."

Su Rong was taken aback, "Then forget it, you better be the perfect prince!"

She has never faced the imperial power directly, nor has she seen the emperor, so she really shouldn't have come up with this idea.

She hurriedly stopped the topic and replied to Yan, "Let's talk about Lu Fengyan!"

Yan echoed her head and comforted her with a smile, "Lonely is not to the point of being cautious and frightened every day, it's just that I cleaned up the Jiang Sheng family a few days ago, and the movement in Jiangzhou is a bit big, which has caused the dissatisfaction of my father, so it is not good to make any more moves, after the scientific examination, Lone avoids this limelight, so there is no need to be so cautious."

Su Rong understood, "That's it, then I understand."

She said with a smile: "This Lu Fengyan must have a place for him in the top three. After the scientific expedition, I asked Feng Ling to contact him more, if he can win him over to the East Palace, I will draw him to the East Palace, if not, I must also let him remain neutral, at least not to join others."

Yan echoed his head, "That's fine, Gu Huang doesn't need everyone to be drawn into the East Palace camp, as long as there are more neutral factions in the court and remain neutral."

Su Rong snapped his fingers, "Okay, leave it to me."
