"I remember someone said that they treated the little girl of the Renhua family as a younger sister. There is no elder brother in the world who thinks of men and women about his sister. Isn't that the same as a beast?" Emperor Changlong looked at his smiling son, forbearance. I couldn't help but stabbed him, "It's okay now. I took the little girl out to play, and I don't want to go home anymore. Tell me, what is this?"

"Father, if this unexpected thing happens, how can the son-chen himself be able to control it." The crown prince bowed his hand to Emperor Changlong and smiled cheeky: "I didn't tell you the other day, I think he is a man Beasts? There is a popular saying in the folks that if a man's words are reliable, pigs can also climb trees."

"At that time, you had this kind of thought?" Emperor Changlong interrupted the prince, frowning, "Yuan Su, you should know that she almost became the princess of your eldest brother, if it wasn't for the concubine's unwillingness, maybe they Even the wedding date has been set."

"Father, the eldest brother has already set the Lin family's daughter, and his marriage has nothing to do with the Fushou Princess." The prince sat in a chair, and he would not leave if there were problems. "Father, the children are like this. It’s big, and it’s hard to value a girl. If you don’t help your ministers, no one will make up your mind for me."

"You have used this argument countless times in front of me, and there is no new feeling anymore." Emperor Changlong said disgustedly, "She is the daughter of a general, not a woman selected by the people to fill the harem. What use do you like her? I can't force her to marry you. If I really did this, wouldn't it be a chilling hero?"

"Erchen understands." The prince had expected that Emperor Changlong would have such a rhetoric. He smiled and said, "It is good if you don't object to your favorite Fushou Princess."

Emperor Changlong was silent for two seconds, then picked up a book on the table and slammed it at the prince: "I know that you stinky kid are digging holes for me around the corners, and I will let you watch memorials not to move. The ghost ideas are one after another."

"Marriage is a trivial matter, and the children are naturally more distracted." The prince turned his head to avoid the book that Emperor Changlong had smashed over, got up and picked up the book, walked to Emperor Changlong, and said: "I also ask the father to fulfill the children. ."

"Oh." Emperor Changlong took the book out of the crown prince, "Yuan Su, before the girl from the Hua family entered Beijing, I don't know that she is so weak that she is the prince, the future emperor of Dajin, marry A frail princess is not good for you."

"Father, there is no queen in your harem, and you can live in peace for so many years. What does it matter if your son marries a weaker princess?" The prince paused, "Princess Fushou is weaker. But it will get better one day if you keep warm."

"But what if you change your heart, and there are other women in the harem, and her body is still weak?" Emperor Changlong looked at the prince seriously, "then the day, the harem will be her tomb. You at that time, no I will remember my mood and patience today."

"You just said that if a man's words are reliable, pigs can climb the tree. I believe you are serious now, but what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?"

"How many days are tomorrow, can you guarantee that it will never change?"

"You are my most beloved son. Yingting and Mingyue are good generals whom I trust. When I was in distress, they never stayed away from me because of rumors, but gave me a lot. After I became the throne, their husband and wife guarded me. At the border, I have a wealth of wealth but have no time to enjoy.” Emperor Changlong walked to the imperial chair and sat down, “Ying Ting treats her daughter as if I treat you. In the future, if you treat her badly, how will I face it. Both of them?"

It was because of this consideration that he planned to let the simple-character boss go to marry a girl from the Hua family, so that Hua Liuli had an identity and status without being restricted by the harem.

It's a pity that the boss and Concubine Xian didn't want this relationship, and he didn't want the little girl of the Hua family to have a mother-in-law who was dissatisfied with her everywhere, so this matter could only be regarded as not happening.

"Many men are born passionate and lustful, Yuan Su, it's not that I can't believe in you, but I can't believe in men." Emperor Changlong wore an expression of "We are all men, you understand" on his face, and said with earnestness: "I will not stop you, but I will not help you speak nice things in front of Ying Court."

"That's right." With a heart to love his son, Emperor Changlong added, "You can't rush to pursue a loved one, especially if you can't offend your mother-in-law. You must pay attention to your words and deeds in front of Wei Mingyue. She accidentally angered her, she wanted to do something to you..." Emperor Changlong thought seriously, "You remember to run faster and don't have a dispute with her."

"Father?" The prince didn't quite understand the meaning of Emperor Changlong's words.

"That's what I said, you just need to keep things in your mind." Emperor Changlong lifted the teacup, "I am very busy and have no time to tell you this. Go go to bed early, and remember to be there on time tomorrow morning."

Being driven out of Chenyang Palace by his own father, the prince didn't have the slightest annoyance on his face, as long as the father didn't object to his plan to marry Liuli.

As for the father's other concerns, only the future can prove it.

Any strong and touching oath is useless. Only time and action are qualified to judge.

"The prince returned to the palace so late, so your majesty didn't punish him. Instead, he kept him in the Chenyang Palace to speak for a long time." Concubine Xian said unhappily, "The man is so spoiled that he does not have a bottom line?"

With so many stinking problems on the prince's body, most of them are used to his majesty.

Loving fathers often lose children.

But if he loses, he loses, it's not the child who came out of her stomach anyway. She wished that the prince was always arrogant and caused troubles everywhere, which caused dissatisfaction among the ministers of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty. At that time, even if his majesty did not want to abolish Ji Yuansu's position as prince.

"Niang Niang." Seeing Concubine Xian, the close-fitting court lady gave a imaginative smile and reminded in a low voice: "The daughter of the Lin family is here, you can meet her."

"Let her come in." Concubine Xian was not too satisfied with Lin Wan, but because of the Hua Liuli that made her even more dissatisfied, Lin Wan's father was quite prestigious among civil servants and could barely tolerate Lin Wan.

More importantly, she wants to draw Concubine Lin and the fourth prince over by Lin Wan's identity, and let them support her son in secret, so letting her son marry Lin Wan is more in line with immediate interests.

After Lin Wan entered the door, the concubine Xian greeted her affectionately, and gave the silk rouge gouache prepared in advance to Lin Wan, and then smiled and asked the maid to take Lin Wan to the side hall to rest.

"Niang, the second princess sent someone to say that because Miss Lin went out with only one handmaid, the second princess followed the palace maid she needed to wait on her side, and then... she discovered something."

Seeing the palace lady talking hesitating, Concubine Xian had a bad premonition: "Say."

"Today, Miss Lin happened to meet the prince while enjoying the scenery, but the prince was indifferent to Ms. Lin, and seemed very dissatisfied." The maid told what had happened. It was used by Miss Lin. After the meal, Fushou County went to enjoy the flowers. Miss Lin chased after and said a few words to the Lord Fushou. Because they stood far away, the two court ladies did not hear what Miss Qing Lin said. The prince looked ugly. I scolded her a few words, scared Miss Lin to kneel down and ask for guilt..."

"What is she going to do to provoke Hua Liuli?" Before the matter was heard, the concubine Xian had her temper exploded. "When she first came to visit the palace, the palace told her that Hua Liuli was in poor health. When I saw her, she stayed away and must not provoke her. Why did she even get up to find something by herself?"

That Hua Liuli is very evil, she and her mother's family both got into trouble with her, why would anyone dare to go up there?

"Xu...Xu is that Miss Lin has just returned to Beijing, and she has no contact with Princess Fushou, so she doesn't know the seriousness of the matter." The maid thought to herself that the most serious thing in this matter should be Miss Lin kneeling down. The prince is right.

"We Dajin is not the small country called Yinshan next to me. If you have anything to do, let the woman kneel down. As my son's future wife, how can she kneel down in front of others?" Concubine Xian frowned, "Lin Zhou He is known for his reputation. When facing robbers, he can't change his face. How can there be a daughter with weak knees? Is there any misunderstanding?"

Dajin is not a place to kneel down everywhere, even in front of your Majesty, it is not a place to kneel when you meet.

"The empress is right, maybe there is a real misunderstanding." The maid said hurriedly, "The slave and maid sees that Miss Lin has a degree of advancement and retreat, and her personality is also docile. In the future, she will become close to her and get along well.

"I hope." Concubine Xian was a little bit up and down. As a mother, she couldn't tell that her son didn't like Lin Wan. But mothers don’t want her son to like a woman like Hua Liuli.

"Oh." Concubine Xian sighed, pity the parents of the world, it is not easy to be a mother.

Hua's family, a family of four sitting around the table.

Hua Liuli scooped the beef balls into the Hua Changkong bowl: "Third brother, eat this. After eating this, you will be smooth and profitable. Make sure you are on the list."

"Come on, have another piece of pumpkin soup. This color has a good meaning. I wish you a title on the gold list." Hua Yingting scooped a large spoonful of pumpkin soup in the Hua Changkong bowl.

Seeing that his mother was also preparing to pick up vegetables for him, Hua Changkong hurriedly covered his bowl: "Mother, you shouldn't learn from father and younger sister. Superstition is not good."

Wei Mingyue put down the public chopsticks with some regret: "The list will be posted tomorrow, are you nervous?"

"Alright?" Hua Changkong thought for a while, "My son still has confidence in himself."

"Well, that's good." Wei Mingyue nodded, "You are my son of Wei Mingyue, so my mind shouldn't be too bad."

"Mother is the smartest woman in Dajin. As long as the third brother is half as smart as you, he will definitely pass the exam." Hua Liuli pleased her with a smile, "Come on, you taste the taste of this dish."

"Liu Li, I heard you went out to play today?" Wei Mingyue put down her chopsticks and looked at Hua Liuli.

"Didn't you watch your daughter come back?" Hua Liuli was a little guilty.

"Playing until it gets dark before coming back, it's quite early. I thought you would have to wait until the next hour." Wei Mingyue looked at her with a smile and a smile, "The evening meal is not good, but I ate outside. Up?"

"I just ate a little bit more." Hua Liuli stretched out her hand and compared it for a short distance. "Mother, this can't be all to blame on me. It's because the beauty is too eye-catching and the food is so delicious. Stayed for a while."

"With whom?" Hua Yingting asked angrily, "Whose family doesn't teach his son so much that he will go home with the little girl until dark?"

"His Royal Highness, the prince." Hua Liuli looked left and right, but did not look at Hua Yingting's eyes, "This is really an accident. Next time my daughter must be back soon."

"It turned out to be the prince..." Hua Yingting was silent for a moment, lowered his head to pick up rice, and decided to give up discussing the other side's family education.

"I remember you said that there is no love between men and women for the prince."

"There is no love between men and women, there can be appreciation." Hua Liuli grabbed Wei Mingyue's arms and shook, "Mother, my daughter thinks the prince is very pitiful."

"Oh?" Wei Mingyue didn't know that the current prince could be called pitiful.

So Hua Liuli told his family a story about "the life and death of an infatuated man and an infatuated woman, the life of an infatuated man is better than death, and the story of being surrounded by thoughts every night"

"This is what the prince told you?" Wei Mingyue has heard many rumors about the prince, but he has a woman who loves like life, but no one mentions it.

"That's not true. This incident seemed very painful to the prince, so he didn't want to mention it. It was his daughter who guessed it." Hua Liuli said confidently, "My daughter has seen too much life and death at the border. The thoughts of the prince can be seen at a glance."

Hua Yingting and Hua Changkong were dumbfounded, the prince was such an infatuated person?

"My daughter actually meant to follow the dead in what he said, so how can I rest assured." Hua Liuli sighed, "The prince has a special status. If something happens to him, the trouble will be great. Today is to make him happy. My daughter has taken a lot of effort, so she can’t help but see that he can’t think about it.”

"If this is the case, and the prince intends to meet with you, it doesn't matter if you enlighten him more." Wei Mingyue sighed, "but the most important thing is to protect yourself."

Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, if the prince does not look good, her daughter will definitely not have such good patience now.

"My daughter still has a guess. The person your Royal Highness likes may be a weak and sick girl. He is willing to be close to me because my daughter has similarities with that girl." Speaking of this, Hua Liuli couldn't help but tsk. , "It's so pitiful, the person you love is dead, and the world seems to be full of the shadow of the lover."

"Liu Li." Wei Mingyue stared at her daughter for a moment, "If you read some messy textbooks in the future, I will let you copy the book a hundred times."

Hua Liuli: "..."

Are they talking about the sad relationship history of the prince? Why did she turn around in a blink of an eye to see that she couldn't read this trivial matter?

"Tomorrow the Queen Mother will pick up her daughter into the palace for a few days, will she go or not?" With a strong desire to survive, Hua Liuli found a suitable topic to talk about.

"Do you want to go?" Hua Yingting asked.

"The empress dowager is humorous and humorous, and treats her daughter very well. Every time her daughter visits her, she is reluctant to let her daughter go. She wants to come to her elderly family because she wants her daughter to accompany her." The old lady of the Hua family died of illness very early, and Hua Liuli was born. There is no grandmother, so the Queen Mother is a shadow of her grandmother in her heart.

"Someone outside said that the prince treats you to numb our family." Hua Yingting said, "what do you think?"

"Good or bad, my daughter has her own judgment and will not listen to other people's rumors." Hua Liuli smiled at Hua Yingting, "Daddy, my daughter decided to stay in the palace for a few days."

"Okay." Hua Yingting also smiled, "You are my daughter of Hua Yingting and Wei Mingyue. Although you have to act with degrees, you are not afraid to be timid. Let the maid to pack your luggage for you tonight. You are in the palace. Despite having fun, we have everything outside the palace."

"Thank you, Daddy." Hua Liuli rushed into Wei Mingyue's arms and rubbed, "Thank you mother."

Wei Mingyue hugged her daughter and sighed helplessly: "I'm a fifteen-year-old girl, and she looks like a five- or six-year-old child."

Hua Changkong, who is silently picking up rice, thinks, isn't it all your favorites?

Before dawn, the queen mother woke up.

"Has the side hall been cleaned up? The child Liuli is weak and there should be no dust in the room."

"Please rest assured, the queen mother, everything in the side hall has been cleaned up."

"There are also clothes, jewelry, and so on. You can't miss it." The queen mother turned the court lady eunuchs around, "I heard that Concubine Xian has invited Lin's daughter into the palace?"

"The daughter of the Lin family entered the palace last night."

"They are the daughters of foreign ministers. The Lai family can't let Liuli be compared by Miss Lin." The queen mother worried that Lin Wan would be the future princess of England. Hua Liuli would be wronged when she was with her. At the gate of Shoukang Palace, you should follow along and look after her, not to let her be wronged."

"Empress mother, don't worry, no one in the whole palace knows that you like Princess Fushou, who dares to be disrespectful to the princess under your nose?" The maid smiled and said, "The servant must take care of the princess and not let her Feeling wronged at all."

"When you do things, the Aijia is relieved." The queen mother said, "I'm afraid that some people's brains are suddenly bad, and they will do some stupid things. Then, when you are wronged by Liuli, how can the Aijia not feel distressed?"

"It's the queen mother you want to be thoughtful." The female officer glanced at the sky outside, "Manny, today is the day when Chun Wei is on the list. The princess and the three sons and sisters have a deep affection, maybe they will enter the palace later."

"It's a good thing for a child to be affectionate and righteous, and wait for the waitresses who receive Liuli to never urge it." The queen mother thought for a while, "Prepare the etiquette. If the third son of a playboy has passed the exam, it will be a gift. After the list, there will still be opportunities in the future, just as the comfort given to him by the Aijia, and no one can make people laugh at him for this."

"Why didn't the slave and maid expect this?" The female officer blessed the queen mother, "The slave and maid will tell them to go."

"Go, go, don't miss the business." The queen mother let the female officer go away with a smile on her face.

Thinking of Hua Liuli being able to enter the palace to accompany her, she was both happy and disappointed. She was going out of the palace after staying for a few days. If she could stay in the palace, how good would it be?

Before dawn, the bulletin board was already full of people. Especially the people with status and status in the capital sent out small servants who were flexible, strong and literate, and ran under the bulletin board to guard.

At this time, the little servants between the various provinces also couldn't take care of whose family was with whom they were family friends, and clung to their golden position in the rankings.

Just when you squeezed me and I pushed you, two young men in grey clothes suddenly squeezed into the crowd, and easily pushed away the people in front of them, occupying the middle position.

"Two brothers, where do you live here?" Yao's young man was so squeezed that he could only stand on his side, almost out of breath. He looked at these two extremely powerful young men, and they were very close. thought.

No matter how close he is at this time, he will be squeezed out by others.

Seeing that he was squeezed with red face and thick neck, the two gray-clothed young men stretched out their hands and pulled him over like a carrot: "Little brother, which house are you from?"

"I work in Yao Mansion, and my son is Yao's nephew."

"Disrespectful and disrespectful." The little man in gray clawed his hands. "I heard that Young Master Yao is a tall man. This time he will definitely be on the list."

"Are you two?" Hearing these two people boasting about his son, the young man straightened his chest proudly.

The two gray-clothed boys exchanged glances, and one of them smiled and said, "We are working in Huafu."

Flower House? !

The flower house that beat Jinpo to crying father and mother?

The young man's chest collapsed instantly: "It turned out to be the brothers in the general's mansion. They are rude and rude."

No wonder that when you squeeze other people away, you are like pushing cotton. It turns out that it is from the general's house?

always feel that as long as it is from the Hua family, it is not surprising to do anything.

After all, it is Wu Quxing's amazing family.

There is a teahouse next to the bulletin board. At this time, the teahouse is already full of scholars and family members who are concerned about the test takers’ performance.

Yao Wenyin got up early and spent a lot of money to set up a private room with a great viewing angle, and then called the little sisters over to cheer her up.

"Sister Yao, don't be nervous, so that your brother's talent will surely pass the exam." Tian Shan poured Yao Wenyin a cup of herbal tea, "Come on, drink water and calm down."

"I still have this confidence." Yao Wenyin took a sip of tea, "but I was not expecting this."

"Then what do you want to do?" Jiamin lay on the table, so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyelids.

"You know that Brother Hua Liuli also participated in this spring, right?"

Hearing the three words "Hua Liuli", Jiamin flew away sleepily: "What does this have to do with you?"

"I just want Hua Liuli to understand that my brother's talent is much better than her brother." Yao Wenyin squeezed her fist, "I want to bring you here today. It's also a moment for you to see and face."

Tian Shan hesitated for a moment, and couldn't bear to say: "Sister Yao, follow the script..."

"Don't speak the law, I don't listen, I don't listen." Yao Wenyin covered her ears and stared at Jiamin, "Jiamin, my brother is your own cousin. Do you think your cousin is powerful, or Hua Liuli's brother? Awesome?"

Jiamin: "..."

Reason told her that her cousin must be powerful, but her mouth refused to speak.

There is only one life, so precious, she really doesn't want to lose it.

"Posted!"

A shout outside saved Jiamin's helpless struggle.

Someone downstairs from time to time sang the rankings, and Yao Wenyin was so nervous that she almost smashed the carved wooden tabletop.

"Lin Sen, a person from Yongzhou, ranked seventh..."

"Yao Songbai, a person from Beijing, ranked fifth!"

"Hit!"

The three jumped up happily: "I will try for fifth place!"

"Sister Yao, brother is so amazing!"

"Yes, let's go, I'll go back with you to congratulate my uncle, aunt, and cousin!" Jiamin was also very happy, and got up to go downstairs.

"Which son is Hua Changkong?! It turned out to be the Huiyuan of this session!"

The three of them froze immediately, staring at each other, choking silently.

Silence and sadness lingered and flowed for a long time beside them.
