"Is there something the princess is looking for me?" Now that the hall has long been dispersed, she can't figure out what Princess Yimeng has to find her at this time.

"Chaochao, the mother concubine said that you haven't been to the palace to play for a long time, so I specially asked me to take you there." Princess Yimeng said the reason why she came to Gu Wanchao.

Hearing this, Gu Wanchao smiled, she knew very well in her heart that the reason why Concubine Ning asked her to come over, but she thought that the emperor hadn't been to her bedroom for a long time, so she pulled herself inside.

However, Concubine Ning was really good to her, Gu Wan nodded at Princess Yimeng, and followed Princess Yimeng to Concubine Ning's palace.

Unlike usual, last year's Gu Wanchao was still young, and his every move made people feel very cute, but this year's Gu Wanchao was just a year older, and his gestures and conversations became cautious.

"When you came to the palace last year, you were only a little older, and you ate all the pastries in the palace, and your majesty asked you what reward you wanted, and you actually said that you wanted to eat endless delicious." Concubine Ning Niangniang talked to Gu Wanchao about the usual things.

Listening to what Concubine Ning said, Gu Wanchao couldn't believe it. Last year, I was only six years old and did so many childish things.

"At that time, I was young, and I really didn't know how thick the sky was, so I didn't want to make fun of it."

"Yo, we're still embarrassed." Princess Yimeng listened to Gu Wanchao's tone that was obviously much more polite than before, and teased.

Hearing this, Gu Wanchao smiled a little embarrassedly, she grabbed the snack on the side and stuffed it into her mouth.

The emperor may really like Gu Wanchao, a child, as soon as he heard that Gu Wanchao came to Concubine Ning's palace again, he ran to Concubine Ning's palace again.

The emperor was talking and laughing in Concubine Ning's palace, and Gu Wanchao made him very happy.

Before leaving, the emperor told her that she had now been named the county lord of the second grade, and if she wanted to enter the palace, she could do so at any time, and the emperor had previously issued an order to allow Gu Wanchao to enter and leave the harem freely.

The emperor said everything to this point, and Gu Wanchao immediately understood what his uncle meant.

He is letting himself walk around the harem more often to make him happy.

When she came out of Concubine Ning's palace, it was already dark, but fortunately, the housekeeper who came to take her home was still waiting at the palace gate.

"Let's go back." Gu Wanchao got into the carriage and gave an order.

"Yes, county lord." When the steward received the order, he raised his whip and slapped the horse's ass and left.

At this time, Li Changning was singing in her house all night, she was drunk and sitting at the table, thinking that she would not have to go to kiss from now on, and her heart was extremely comfortable.

"Go on!" After a dance, Li Changning shouted.

The dancers could only continue to dance to the music.

Since she returned to the capital, she has been doing this almost every day, for fear that others will not know how happy she is for not having to be kind.

"Murong Zhao, come, I toast you, I wish you peace in the earth." Li Changning raised his wine glass and looked at the void and said this.

Happy to live in peace

Xiao Yu'an held the brush he had begged from the emperor in his hand, and wrote the rice paper.

Since Gu Wanchao persuaded him to participate in the palace examination, he had to copy books several times a day, just in order to make himself remember these things more firmly, hoping that he could play better during the palace examination.

Aunt Hua brought the prepared soup to the table every time, supervised Xiao Yu'an to drink it before leaving, and there was almost no communication between the mother and son.

January always flies quickly, and before you know it, you will usher in the palace exam.

Xiao Yu'an took the pen rewarded by the emperor into the Jiying Palace.

Since those who had a ranking after participating in the temple examination were assigned official positions, everyone was searched for the sake of fairness and justice.

Xiao Yu'an's brush was also searched, but when he learned that Xiao Yu'an's brush was given by the emperor, he made an exception and asked Xiao Yu'an to bring the brush in.

With the examiner's order, the entire Jiying Hall heard the sound of rice paper turning.

After the palace exam, it is waiting for the release of the list.

After another round of review of the answer sheet, the Ministry of Rites handed a few people who were still good to the emperor.

In Concubine Ning's Palace, the emperor who was busy came to see Gu Wanchao's pistachio again, but today's Gu Wanchao is different, when he entered Concubine Ning's Palace, Gu Wanchao and Princess Yimeng were playing against each other.

Gu Wanchao is an adult in her bones after all, and her chess skills are naturally much more powerful than Princess Yimeng.

"Don't play, don't play." After losing a few times in a row, Princess Yimeng gave up.

She looked at Gu Wanchao, who already looked similar to herself, and pouted, really not wanting to believe that she would lose to Gu Wanchao.

"Little girl, you can accompany me for the next game." The emperor looked at Gu Wanchao and sent an invitation to her.

Immediately, the two uncles and nephews used different identities to play against each other again after a long lapse.

Murong Zhao's chess was taught by the emperor, so she was naturally not the emperor's opponent, but after a while, Gu Wanchao knew the gap between himself and the emperor.

After the game, Gu Wanchao left the palace.

The days of waiting for the release of the list are always long, Xiao Yu'an sat in the East Palace, looking at the book in front of him in a daze.

"What are you doing?" The prince told Xiao Yu'an to be in a daze, raised his hand and knocked on the table in front of him, which pulled Xiao Yu'an's thoughts back.

"You're always distracted. But worried about your ranking? The prince sat down opposite Xiao Yu'an and asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu'an shook his head, nodded again, and then said, "I'm thinking about things at home." Xiao Yu'an was really in no mood to read, so he closed the book and put it on the side of the desk.

"How is Your Highness's sword practice today?" Xiao Yu'an obviously didn't want to continue, so he bluntly changed the topic.

Seeing that Xiao Yu'an was reluctant to say more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also tacitly did not continue the topic just now, "According to the method you taught, Gu has been practicing these days, and it is indeed much easier than before, and his movements are more coherent." ”

As soon as the prince's words fell, Xiao Yu'an picked up the wooden sword on the side and threw it to the prince, "How about a match?" ”

"Than, who is afraid of whom." The prince held the wooden sword in his hand, and after saying this, he sparred with Xiao Yu'an.

Because the prince adjusted the posture of holding the sword, it is obviously much easier to fight with Xiao Yu'an now, and he was defeated in just a few rounds, but now he can hold on for a while longer.

The two of them competed until the end, both of them lay on the grass on the side, they threw the wooden sword in their hands aside, and looked at the sunset in the sky, both of them had their own thoughts, and they did not disturb each other.
