Shen Yuanhe sighed helplessly, took a sip of tea and put it down.

In the next moment, I heard Shi Ling say: "Your article this time is very good, even the Taifu is full of praise for you, the Holy Lord will probably issue an edict in a few days, you make preparations." ”

"It's ready from the time I go to the Tribute Courtyard."

Shen Yuanhe smiled confidently.

He and Shi Ling met in the academy, and as soon as Shi Ling was found, he was secretly sent to the academy to be taught, and until today, very few people know that he has been in the academy.

At that time, Shen Yuanhe went more than a year earlier than Shi Ling, so he wanted to help one or two more, but he didn't expect that this person was much more powerful than he thought.

If his homework is not as good as others, he will read at night without giving himself any rest, and will learn all the things that others can read and learn in more than a month, and he can also answer questions with his husband fluently.

Mr. said that he was a genius, but as long as Shen Yuanhe knew, he was just trying his best to catch up with everyone.

"You're confident."

After Shi Ling finished speaking, he unconsciously wondered if the Shen family was so confident?

Shen Yuanhe raised his eyes and looked at him: "What is the situation in the court now?" ”

Shi Ling Zhengse: "The body of the saint is not as good as before, and many people in the court rely on themselves to be old ministers to do evil, but these are all open-faced, and the most tricky thing now is that some people are recruiting private soldiers, making ordnance, and even trying to disturb Changyong Pass." ”

The more Shen Yuanhe listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled.

"And what do you need me to do?"

"I will let the Holy Admiral enter the household department and pull out the people I want to deal with step by step, but before that, I don't know you, it's best that you can get close to the third prince."

Shen Yuanhe frowned and refused at the moment.

A little angry: "The third prince made my family Ruan Ruan suffer a great shame, how can I be good friends with him, if I am close to him, don't talk about Ruan Ruan, even my father and mother will not let me live in peace." After speaking, he seemed to think of something funny, and said: "Ruan Ruan's temperament is the most unambiguous, I can't afford to offend." ”

Shi Ling raised his right eyebrow.

"Is that girl that terrible?"

Shen Yuanhe nodded matter-of-fact and approached Shi Ling: "My sister has been pampered since she was a child, how do you know what the sky is high and the earth is thick?" Don't look at her gentle and lovely now, but she's actually a little hedgehog with teeth and claws. ”

Shi Ling glanced at him coldly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and asked rhetorically, "What are you talking to me about?" ”

Shen Yuanhe squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Maybe, I can use it in the future." ”

“......”

It didn't take long for Shen Yuanhe to put away his teasing thoughts, and began to seriously think about Shi Ling's suggestion, and then said: "It's impossible to get close to the third prince, my family and him, since Ruan Ruan's divorce, have been old and dead, and the third prince is not demented, if I deliberately approach, how can he not see it?" ”

Shi Ling nodded: "It makes sense, then think of a way." ”

Shen Yuanhe: "......"

Before he could refuse, Shi Ling suddenly raised the teacup, looked at Shen Yuanhe with a sea of stars in his eyes, and said: "You and I have been classmates for eight years, and you are the most trustworthy person in the court, after tonight, you and I will not have the opportunity to sit here and drink tea and talk and laugh, so I wish you a prosperous official fortune and rise step by step." ”

Shen Yuanhe chuckled, also picked up the teacup and lit his cup, and said, "Then replace the wine with tea, and inherit the good words of the prince." ”

With that, the two of them drank tea that had become warm as soon as possible.

-

Three days later, the old man beside the saint came to the Dingguo Mansion with the holy decree, accompanied by King Xuan Shiling.

The whole family knew what this meant, and even Shen Yao and Aunt Wei followed them to the front hall to receive the order, and Shen Xian glanced at him vigorously when she saw Shi Ling.

How could Ling only look down at the edict and not look at her at all.

Shen Xian angrily hated him.

I also sent ointment a few days ago, but I don't dare to look at it today?

"Dingguo Mansion listens to the edict."

Shen Chongyuan led everyone to kneel slowly.

Shi Ling raised her voice, reading word by word the praise and reward for Shen Yuanhe in the edict, Shen Xian's eyebrows fluttered with a smile at the bottom, she knew that her brother would be the champion this time!

She wanted to secretly look up at Shi Ling, but as soon as she looked up, she found that Shi Ling was actually looking at herself, and then Shi Ling glared at him.

How? Only you are allowed to peek at Miss Ben, and Miss Ben can't peek at you?

She's biased!

The edict said that he stood out in this imperial examination, and the saint liked his article very much, and two days later he would specially invite Shen Yuanhe and his family into the palace.

It wasn't until Shi Ling finished reading the edict that he shouted: "Champion Lang, get up and accept the order." ”

Shen Yuanhe got up and walked in front of Shi Ling without humility or arrogance, lowered his head slightly, caught the holy decree representing his future with both hands, and shouted: "Thank you, Holy Lord, from now on, the minister will be a great man with liver and brain, and he will die with all his might!" ”

Shi Ling nodded expressionlessly, and then an old man looked at Grandpa Guo who had already gotten up and said attentively: "Grandpa Guo is really a blessing, and the glory of the Duke Mansion will definitely not stop here in the future." ”

"Hahahaha, thank you father-in-law for good words!" As he spoke, he asked someone to take some money and hand it over.

Shi Ling glanced at Shen Yuanhe, the two secretly glanced at each other, and then said, "Please also ask the prince to prepare for the palace banquet in two days, don't let the saint feel disappointed." ”

"Minister, obey the order."

Shi Ling turned around to leave, and suddenly saw Shen Xian smiling at him, so he almost rushed over and ran to him to say something strange, and when Shi Ling turned around, he couldn't help but hook the corner of his lips.

It seems that the injury is healed.

After the people in the palace left, Ye Hao hugged her son and cried, Shen Chongyuan patted his son's shoulder with pride, Shen Xian was happy for Shen Yuanhe.

It's just that I don't know why, the smile on my brother's face doesn't seem to be so bright, and his eyes are covered with a layer of worry.

When only the brother and sister were left standing in the front hall, Shen Xian stepped forward curiously: "Isn't Brother happy?" ”

Shen Yuanhe chuckled: "How can you be unhappy if you win the champion?" ”

"But Brother smiled reluctantly."

Shen Yuanhe looked down at her, raised his hand and rubbed her head, and said: "That's not reluctant, it's that I know that I will have a heavy burden of responsibility in the future, and I can't do what I want in the future, I have to always think about how the people of Dacheng are and how Dacheng is." ”

Shen Xian tilted her head and smiled: "But I know that Brother will definitely be able to do a good job." ”

That night, the Dingguo Mansion made a table of good dishes for Shen Yuanhe, and Shen Chongyuan even took out the pear blossom brew that he had treasured for a long time, saying that he wanted to compare the amount of wine with his son, and he would not return if he was not drunk.

The release of the list was a matter of the next day, and everyone knew that this time the champion Lang was actually the prince of Dingguo.

Because of Shen Xian's title of the first Shu in Kyoto City, and later the marriage with the third prince was in an uproar, many people's first impression of the Dingguo Mansion was that Shen Xian was dismissed.

Xiao Hui and Zhao Baolin sat in the restaurant and listened to the report from the next person, their faces gloomy.

Zhao Baolin said angrily: "It's just the champion, the saint actually wants to feast in person, so Hui'er, don't you still have to bump into her?" ”
