At the end of the so-called examination, the Emperor Chu and the Queen Mother were very satisfied, and Situ Xi was also given a seat, which can be described as a happy guest and host at this time.

But the three princes were still standing aside, and although they were also smiling, Situ Xi could feel that these three did not seem to be as happy as they appeared.

Speaking of which, when Situ Xi had just walked into this high platform, he heard Emperor Chu say that he was traveling with his family to visit the garden today.

But Situ Xi didn't see the queen and other concubines under the look, and the princes all stood stiffly on the side, and the atmosphere was not at all like the atmosphere of a family game.

"Fu Yu, the emperor has already given you a reward, but the mourning family hasn't said anything yet, what do you want?" Du Shi was reading the book with the word in his hand, and during this time, he looked up and asked Situ Xi what reward he wanted.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the kid has nothing to ask for." As soon as he finished speaking, Situ Xi noticed that Du's face was pretending to be sinking, so he hurriedly added, "If you really want to say what you want, the kid only wants to be able to spend it happily with his family in this festival." ”

"By the way, there are many people watching the temple fair today, but the boy and the lady at home are a little late, can the boy ask the queen mother for a good position for a while?"

"That's it? Anyway, the mourning family will let you think about it for a while, and you can't think of it, so you will talk about it tomorrow at the birthday banquet, as for the location of the ceremony, you don't have to worry, the mourning family will let people take them to the high platform opposite. ”

"In this way, thank you to the Queen Mother." Situ Xi thanked him.

Emperor Chu on the side did not make a sound to interrupt the communication between the two, he stroked the teacup with his hand and looked down at the patterns on the cup.

After Situ Xi and Du finished speaking, Emperor Chu knocked on the table, and then looked up at the three princes standing opposite.

"Tired of standing?"

"Not tired." The three of them shook their heads in unison.

"Then he continued to stand."

"Ahem......"

"Mingche, Mingli, and Hu'er, do you know what I called you to come with me today?"

"The temple fair is watching, and my father has auspicious luck to show to the world today." Seeing that the two brothers next to him were silent, Zuo Minghu was the first to answer.

"No, it's something else." Zuo Duyuan stood up, walked up to the three of them, and straightened their clothes one by one.

"To this day, only Che'er has read some of the question books for me, and the rest have hardly had any contact with the affairs of the DPRK and China alone, yes or no?"

"Yes." Zuo Mingli and Zuo Minghu replied very simply, this is not a shameful thing, it is difficult for the prince of Chu to meddle in political affairs, it is not that they don't want to, but the emperor of Chu has not given them a chance.

"Speaking of which, the crown prince actually doesn't have much actual experience in office."

The princes didn't know what their father wanted to say next, and they all listened in silence.

"But recently there is a good opportunity, Linwa City original group training envoy yesterday to return to his hometown, now this position is vacant, I plan to let one of you go through the training......"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three princes changed greatly, especially the crown prince Zuo Mingche, whose expression could already be described as "shocked".

The difference is that Zuo Mingche's face is melancholy, while the other two are happy.

The regimental training envoy, this is a real military position, this resume is of great significance to the three of them, not to mention that the Chu Emperor deliberately gathered them together and said this in public, which naturally has some other self-evident intentions.

"What? Don't want to? ”

"Father, this matter is too unexpected, and the sons and ministers are just a little surprised." Zuo Mingche quickly calmed down, and replied to Zuo Duyuan with a forced smile.

"Well, that's fine, I thought you were afraid of getting tired." Zuo Duyuan nodded.

"It's just that there is only one vacancy now, so I need to choose one of the three of you, and I don't ask your wishes, you have been humble since childhood, if you let yourself be recommended, I am afraid that there will be no results until dark."

"That's good, the day after tomorrow, the spring hunt, the best overall performance will go to Linwa City to take office, can you have any objections?"

"No objection!" The three of them spoke in unison, and when Emperor Chu said this, it was clear that everything had been planned, and they would not, and they would not dare to have any more opinions.

"Very well, then the matter is settled."

Nodding with satisfaction, and patting the crown prince Zuo Mingche on the shoulder again, Chu Huang turned around with a smile, but stopped in front of Situ Xi's chair.

Situ Xi immediately got up, and looked up at Emperor Chu suspiciously, not knowing why he kept staring at him.

"Situ Fuyu, the three of you have met him in the past, and Ming Che and Ming Li have also been with him for a while recently, what do you think of him?" Emperor Chu suddenly turned around and threw a new question to the three princes.

"Brother Situ is knowledgeable, meticulous, friendly, and often has wonderful thoughts, which has helped his sons a lot." Zuo Mingli was the first to answer, he had a deeper friendship with Situ Xi than the other two, and Situ Xi could be regarded as having saved his life.

"Poetry is talented, and he is low-key." Zuo Minghu had only seen Situ Xi once when he entered Chu, and when he saw that he was cowardly and self-contained, he lost interest in this proton, and he had only recently heard that this proton had changed.

"Brother Situ has been recognized by Huai Minggong, and he can have a good relationship with the second brother, there must be many outstanding points, seeing the sages and thinking together, the sons want to know him better." This is Zuo Mingche's evaluation.

"Hahaha, yes, yes, Fuyu, it seems that you have a good image in their hearts." Emperor Chu laughed twice, and then turned to face Situ Xi again.

Seeing Emperor Chu's bright smiling face, Situ Xi suddenly felt a touch of uneasiness in his heart, your family has a good chat, why do you have to bring me no matter what you say?

"That's the three highnesses who don't understand me, and the boy's shortcomings can't be talked about in a day." Situ Xi smiled bitterly and humbled himself.

"It's okay, no one is perfect. You say they don't know you, so I give you a chance to get acquainted with each other. ”

Walking to his seat and sitting down, Emperor Chu picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp, and wiped it with a silk handkerchief on the side.

"After you decide the winner in the spring hunt, the person who wins will be appointed as the training envoy of the Linwa City regiment."

"At that time, Situ Xi will be his deputy."
