"His Royal Highness." Yao Songbai saw the prince standing next to Hua Liuli at first sight, and stepped forward to salute: "I have seen His Royal Highness."

Yao Wenyin only noticed the presence of the prince, and quickly followed her brother to salute. I can't blame her for her lack of concentration. It is Hua Liuli who hates her too much. As long as Hua Liuli is there, she will never notice others.

"Miss Yao, are you here?" Hua Liuli only noticed Lin Wan who was walking in front of them, but Yao Wenyin was here too.

Hearing Hua Liuli's question, Yao Wenyin was a little unsure on her face, and gave a vague hum. How refreshing she was when she said she didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but now her face hurts.

"Princess Fushou." Yao Songbai and Hua Changkong are good friends, but this is the first time he has seen Hua Liuli's face up close.

Princess Fushou is not like a person who has lived in the border for a long time, but more like growing up in a water village in the south. It's no wonder that a classmate only saw the princess, and asked Changkong brother to find out whether the Fushou princess was married.

"Master Yao also came to worship Wen Quxing?" The prince reached out and held Hua Liuli's wrist, "Be careful of the steps."

Noting the movement of the prince’s wrist supporting the Fushou princess, Yao Songbai hurriedly looked at her and took it back. "My sister said that this is very effective, and the students want to be at ease, so they come to worship."

Yao Songbai is very free and easy, and he doesn't feel ashamed of coming to pay homage to Wenquxingjun.

But Yao Wenyin felt very embarrassed. She silently covered her face and wanted to pretend that she had never been here in the future.

"Oh~" Hua Liuli looked at Yao Wenyin with a smile, "Last time Miss Yao didn't believe in the efficaciousness of Wenquxingjun, did she change her mind so quickly?"

Yao Wenyin: "..."

I don't want to talk, thank you.

The prince chuckled, pretending that he did not see that Hua Liuli was deliberately teasing Yao Wenyin: "This is what Yao Gongzi said is right, and it is good to ask for peace of mind."

Several people entered the Wenquxing Temple, and the guards guarded the surroundings of the temple. Seeing this formation, Miaozhu made a big jump and bowed to greet him.

But before he could get close to the prince, he was stopped.

"Sorry, the nobles in our family offer incense, and other people are not allowed to come close." Although the guard in the black robe spoke politely, his expression was serious. Miaozhu hurriedly shrank his neck and stepped back without hesitation.

There are a lot of nobles in the capital, who can bring so many guards out, who else besides the emperor's relatives?

As soon as Lin Wan knelt on the futon, she heard movement from outside the temple. When she looked back, she saw a team of guards enclosing the Wenquxing Temple, and the other guards were guarding four young men and women in brocade clothes.

This time she came to Wenquxing Temple, she deliberately chose a few days to avoid meeting acquaintances. She didn't expect other acquaintances to not meet, but met people she didn't want to meet.

She bowed to the statue for three times, got up and went to the prince: "The courtiers pay respect to the prince."

The prince nodded slightly, and walked directly to the temple with Hua Liuli. It seemed that even looking at Lin Wan more was a waste of his life.

With such an obvious attitude, even Yao Wenyin, who had a straightforward personality, realized that the prince was obviously not looking for Lin Wan. Originally, she wanted to mock Lin Wan, but when the prince showed this attitude, she didn't dare to speak any more.

A person who is really disgusted by the superiors may bring himself trouble by saying a few more words with him.

Lin Wan stood rigidly on the spot, watching them arrogantly walk into the temple with extremely complicated expressions.

What made her even more uncomfortable was that Hua Liuli didn't look at her from beginning to end, as if her existence didn't matter. Perhaps for Hua Liuli, she is just a stone, an ant, or a piece of dry leaf by the roadside, meaningless.

It's ridiculous.

She regretted it day and night. Why did she have trouble with Hua Liuli? If only she could say a few words less, at least she could still be the future Princess of England. Unlike now, she obviously lives in the prosperous capital, but she has no sense of belonging. She is like a passerby in this city. She came, no one was surprised; she left, no one stayed.

The ladies who were courteous and polite to her at the Huachao Festival now hurried away when they saw her, as if walking slower, she could take advantage of them.

The most ridiculous thing is that her father's order was suppressed by His Majesty, and it was Hua Liuli's father who went to the palace to beg for mercy, and that this could have caused a big incident to be handled in a low-key manner.

Now, as long as she sees Hua Liuli, she will feel embarrassed, regretful, unwilling, and a little bit unclear about hatred. When Hua Liuli saw her just now, even if she made a few mockery, it was better than her current ignoring attitude.

"Lord Xing, bless my brother, can win the champion..."

Hua Liuli and Yao Wenyin knelt on the futon and said the same thing. The two turned to look at each other, their eyes fighting in the air.

"Xingjun is here, and the letter girl is willing to donate 100 taels of silver." Yao Wenyin took the lead.

"Xingjun is here, this person next to Xinnv said bad things about you last month." Hua Liuli said, "Xingnv is willing to donate 500 taels of silver to the shantang in the name of Xingjun for more relief. People."

Yao Wenyin was shocked when she heard Hua Liuli's words. Didn't expect this shameless woman to perform such an operation?

"Xingjun is here, the letter girl was just unintentional before, please don't take Xingjun to your heart." Yao Wenyin glared at Hua Liuli, in order to make Hua Changkong the champion, Hua Liuli could do anything sinister.

Yao Songbai kept laughing awkwardly beside him, and said to the prince: "My sister is young and ignorant, I made your lord laugh."

The prince nodded slightly and said nothing.

Seeing the attitude of the prince, Yao Songbai felt even more uneasy. The entire Yao family knows that the prince and Princess Shun’an are not in a good relationship. Princess Shun’an’s husband is their second uncle of the Yao family, so every time the Yao family is very careful in front of the prince, they are afraid that the prince will be in a bad mood one day. , Suddenly angered them.

As a scholar, no one wants to be the champion, but he admires the talent and manner of Brother Hua, so even after the palace exam, the person who became the champion is Hua Changkong, he will only accept the result with conviction.

"I was just talking and laughing, Miss Yao, don't take it to heart." Hua Liuli stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu Ling can get a good place in the palace test."

"Heh." Yao Wenyin would no longer believe in hypocritical Hua Liuli, she stood up and grabbed a handful of broken silver and threw it into the merit box: "My brother will definitely get a good place in the exam."

"Wen Yin." Yao Songbai worried that the two little girls would make the atmosphere more and more violent, so he hurriedly came out to make a round, "not to be rude."

Yao Wenyin curled her lips, but didn't say much, obviously didn't want to refute her brother's face outside.

"There is a tea shop nearby. If the prince and the princess don't mind, we can go to the tea shop to enjoy tea and chat." Yao Songbai bowed his hand to the prince, "I wonder what your highness would like?"

The prince turned his head to look at Hua Liuli: "Do you want to go to Liuli?"

Hua Liuli saw that Yao Songbai was interested in getting closer to the prince. She turned her head and saw that the prince was not reluctant, and then nodded: "Everything is subject to your Royal Highness's arrangements."

"Then let's sit for a while and then leave." Walking out of the temple, the prince raised his head and looked at the scorching sun. He took the folding fan handed by the eunuch and shook it open, covering the top of Hua Liuli's head, whispering in her ear, " In the past few days, envoys of other countries have rushed to the capital one after another, and they can still listen to books in the tea house for a while."

In the vicinity of Great Jin, there are only two countries with a vast land, the Tortoiseshell Country and Jinpo Country. Most of the other countries are small and small countries, and there is no threat to Great Jin.

Because some small countries were repeatedly oppressed by Jinpo, they had no choice but to bow down to Dajin to seek the blessing of Dajin.

Whenever something good happens in Dajin, these small countries will diligently send envoys to Beijing with gifts to praise Emperor Changlong, and bribe officials in the capital with gold and silver jewelry to ensure that Dajin can hold this thigh. Be steady.

There are even some relatively poor and remote tribes who even want to join Dajin directly and get their household registration. But their enthusiasm was rejected by Emperor Changlong.

Merging other small countries and small tribes involved many political factors and interests. Although Emperor Changlong had been moved, he was unwilling to act rashly.

But this time is different. Dajin's army beat Jinpo, who had always been arrogant, to surrender. What he couldn't do before, now he can think about it.

The victory that Hua Yingting and Wei Mingyue fought for the Jin Dynasty affected not only the present, but the next century of the Jin Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that other officials thought that the Hua family would be hidden by the birds, because no emperor can tolerate such a great hero by his side, and no emperor likes his ministers to be more famous among the people than himself.

Yao Songbai is a scholar, and most of the tea shops he likes to go to are also scholars.

The scholars are mostly gentle. Although there are many scholars in the lobby talking and drinking tea, they are not noisy and the atmosphere is excellent.

A scholar came downstairs and saw Yao Songbai and his group with the female relatives. They also deliberately avoided a few steps to avoid colliding with the female relatives.

On the second floor, there are many small rooms separated by screens. On the stage, there is an old man playing a pipa and singing songs. He is not like going out to be a performer, but more like being addicted to hands, so he will perform for the guests.

There are a lot fewer guests upstairs than downstairs. The guests sit at a table in twos and threes. There are whisperers, some discussing exam questions, and even those who set up a chess board, you come and I play chess.

"The taste of Biluochun here is very good, your Royal Highness would like to try it?" Yao Songbai called in the prince and asked the prince's opinion.

"Three cups are enough. The things at the entrance of the Fushou County Lord have been prepared." The prince ordered a few snacks, and said to Hua Liuli, who was sitting cross-legged on his right. "Most of the snacks outside are those. Don't pay attention to it, if you like it, let the Eastern Palace cook do it for you."

Yao Wenyin's eyes widened, the prince and Hua Liuli...

After swallowing silently, she began to recall whether she had offended Hua Liuli too much.

Tea and snacks were put on the table. Before the four had talked a few words, they heard someone at the table next to him say: "The women of Dajin are really shameless. Just show up outside and let the woman be a general."

"The barracks are full of men. What does a woman look like when pointing fingers at a man?"

Yao Wenyin frowned in dissatisfaction. What happened to a woman as a general? General Wei was the object of worship by many young girls in the capital. Following her reputation, she was talking about three men sitting together, two old and one young. Although their clothes were similar to those of Dajin, she could tell at a glance that these three were not from Beijing, or even Dajin. people.

"What's the reason for this?!" Before Hua Liuli and his party had spoken, several other scholars slapped the table and said, "Is it a male or a female who gave birth to you?"

The author has something to say: Dajin scholars: all get out of the way, finally it's our turn to play! We can't fight, but when it comes to quarrels, we are professional!
