Liu Mingshi from the tortoiseshell country hurriedly left the teahouse with two other scholars. Before he could get far, he heard the screams of a man and the applause of the people.
The screaming man was lying on the ground, and was stepped on the ground by a thin and weak looking woman. The woman shouted: "Hand over the old man's money bag!"
The man shivered and took out the purse in his arms, and was trampled on both feet by the woman.
Seeing these fierce scenes, the three of them stepped back together and changed their way. However, they hadn't gotten far before they saw a few well-dressed little girls approaching, letting the men on the street see their faces clearly without wearing their face veils.
"It's really vulgar." Liu Mingshi hurriedly opened his sleeves to cover his eyes. The two young scholars behind him blushed, turning their heads away, and couldn't help but look at them.
"How can a woman let a foreigner get a glimpse of his appearance? The atmosphere of Dajin is like an uncivilized place." Liu Mingshi was heartbroken and hurried back to the embassy with two young scholars, so angry that he didn't eat for a long time.
After falling asleep at night, he even had a nightmare of being scolded by Dajin scholars and being beaten on the ground by Dajin women.
Liu Mingshi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and thought in a panic that Dajin was really an evil place.
Hua Liuli also had a dream all night. She dreamed that the little prince was standing on the viewing platform in the palace. He looked at her pitifully, as if she had suffered countless grievances.
Seeing such eyes, Hua Liuli couldn't help but stepped forward and said to him: "What do you want?"
The little prince did not speak.
"If you want the stars, I will help you, and if you want the moon, I will help you."
The little prince stretched out his hand and gently held her fingers, and suddenly became a handsome adult prince. He looked at her tenderly, his beautiful eyes like the vast starry sky: "I want..."
He opened his mouth and said something, but Hua Liuli couldn't hear what he said.
After waking up from the dream, she sat on the bed boringly and kept thinking about what the prince in the dream wanted. She always felt that she had not met his requirements, and she felt uncomfortable.
"Princess, you woke up so early?" Yu Rong gently lifted the gauze tent and handed a warm towel to Hua Liuli's hand.
"I had a dream and couldn't sleep."
"What did the princess dream of?" Yu Rong waited on her to dress and wear shoes.
"Nothing." Hua Liuli shook her head. After washing, she sat in front of the bronze mirror, took out a phoenix hairpin from the jewelry box, held it in her hand and played with it for a while, then said: "This box of jewelry was sent by His Royal Highness?"
"Yes. When Madam first came back, I went to Taoist temple with you to make a wish. When outsiders saw the prince walking with you, they spread some rumors." Yu Rong thought that Hua Liuli had forgotten the origin of this box of jewelry. Several boxes of jewellery were given away one after another. This is one of them."
"Oh." Hua Liuli thoughtfully.
Two days later, the palace examination officially began.
As the future crown prince, the prince also appeared in the hall with Emperor Changlong. These candidates come from different places and have different identities.
In order to prevent these candidates from being psychologically burdened, Emperor Changlong never went down to see how these candidates answered the questions. The prince was different. He walked around among the candidates from time to time, very leisurely.
After the exam in the morning, the palace provided lunch. According to previous rules, most of these meals were bland and tasteless. Examinees who were already nervous couldn't eat much.
However, the candidates of this year had better luck, and the prince specially ordered to add a few dishes for them. The nervous examinee smelled these scents and finally felt hungry.
"Brother Hua, by coincidence, these are all your favorite dishes." Yao Songbai sat with Huhua Changkong, opened the food box, and whispered to Hua Changkong, "This is a good sign."
Hua Changkong didn't expect that the food boxes sent by the prince sent almost all dishes that he liked and were not greasy.
In order to enter Beijing to participate in the imperial examinations, some poor students lived very frugally. If they suddenly eat too much oil and water, they may cause diarrhea, which will affect their performance in the palace examination. Therefore, when preparing meals for candidates, the palace deliberately avoids greasy and greasy food.
"This is a good omen for all of us." Hua Changkong smiled, "The prince specially added food for us, do you think it is a good omen?"
"Brother Hua is right." The students who are familiar with Hua Changkong smiled. Most of these are children of rich families. For them, being able to participate in the palace exam is already a victory, so their mentality is very stable.
Lin Sen sat in the corner silently, looking at the excitement of Hua Changkong and his group, feeling a little envious. If I hadn't refused their invitation at the beginning, I should have sat with them and joked at this moment instead of sitting alone in the corner like I am now.
He didn't like the poor school students, and he personally refused the invitation of the high school students. For a while, Lin Sen was a little frustrated, feeling that he was being squeezed out by these candidates.
The palace test in the afternoon was not over yet, and the prince slipped out righteously under Emperor Changlong's glare. He rode out of the palace and found the Hua family at the palace gate.
In addition to Hua's family, there are several candidates' family members who stayed outside. These people are all decent figures in the capital. Seeing that the prince found them guarding outside the door, they were a little embarrassed and went forward and blushed in salute.
"You don't need to be polite." The prince smiled. "It's not clear how the princes of each government answer the questions, but the manners are outstanding. Don't worry, adults."
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." These people thanked them in a grateful manner, but they were shocked. When the prince saw them guarding outside, not only did he not reprimand them, but he also took the initiative to tell them about the candidates?
Such a gentle and considerate prince, they are a little uncomfortable.
After dealing with these people, the prince drove the horse to the Hua family, before they waited for them to salute, he turned over and got off the horse and said, "The two generals don't need to pay much attention."
He winked at Hua Liuli, and Hua Liuli mounted the horse with a knowing heart, followed the prince for a while, and then dismounted and asked in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, how are you doing?"
The prince dismounted with Hua Liuli and threw the reins to the people who were waiting behind him: "I was worried about affecting the play of the playboy, so I only glanced at it for a few moments. I thought that with the talent of the playboy, the top three would not be too much. Big problem." He smiled softly, "The lonely guy added a few dishes at noon, and the playboy ate half of it, which shows that he is confident in the afternoon test, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Hua Liuli's heart lifted up instantly dropped. She touched it in her arms and found out a string of bracelets: "This is for your Highness."
"This is?" The prince reached out and took it. Each of the jade beads on the bracelet was made of fine jade material. Such a small jade bead was engraved with various auspicious patterns, which is rare. Treasures.
"There is a general in the army whose ancestor is a jade craftsman. If everyone gets good materials, they would like to let him carve some objects." Hua Liuli coughed dryly. "Last year the courtier got a few good things, so he asked him to help the minister. The female sculpted something to give to her family. The general uncle insisted that he wanted to sculpt something for the minister's future partner, so this bracelet was added.
Speaking of this, Hua Liuli smiled helplessly: "But where is the companion of the courtier, after thinking about it, I think that your Royal Highness will look good on this. Your Royal Highness has given so many things to the courtier, and there are not many of them. A decent return."
"Liu Li has already sent a gift back to Gu." The prince gently rubbed the jade beads on his hand and smiled.
Hua Liuli wondered, did she send it?
While she was stunned, the prince handed the jade pearl back to her.
"His Royal Highness?" Hua Liuli looked at the prince in confusion, "You don't like this?"
"I like it very much." The prince sighed softly. "But this is Liuli's future husband. How can the lonely take advantage of others?"
"What kind of husband is not a husband? It's just a few words of laughter from the general uncle." Hua Liuli took the bracelet from the palm of the prince, held the prince's arm, and put the string on the prince's wrist. "Your Majesty likes it, everything else unimportant."
Sure enough, people who are good-looking have good-looking hands. The jade pearl was worn on the wrist of the prince, and it seemed to be a lot moisturized.
"The bracelet was worn by Liuli," the prince smiled at Hua Liuli, "I won't return it in the future."
"What are you going to pay back? There is no reason to pay back what you send out." Hua Liuli laughed, "His Royal Highness, the courtiers are the kind of people who are back and stingy?"
"No." The prince smiled softer, "it is the heart of a lonely man."
"It's okay, the courtier won't take it to heart." Hua Liuli touched the horse's head, "His Royal Highness, the courtier dreamed of you last night."
The prince touched the jade string on his wrist: "What did you dream of lonely?"
"The court lady dreamed that you were standing on the observation deck, so cute. The court lady asked you what you wanted, but you didn't say anything. In the end the court lady coaxed you for a long time. When you finally want to speak, dream I woke up." Speaking of this, Hua Liuli touched her chin and asked the prince curiously, "His Royal Highness, do you have anything you want?"
"When I was lonely, I saw that other brothers had a mother and concubine. I wondered what would the mother and concubine look like if they were still alive?" The prince smiled, "But as he gets older and older, the father and the emperor treat the loneliness well. This idea gradually faded."
"Now, what do you want?"
The prince looked at Hua Liuli quietly, and smiled after a moment: "Yes."
This is the look, this is the look!
The current prince seemed to overlap with the prince in the dream. Although the prince in the dream was wronged and the prince in front of him was smiling, Hua Liuli felt that their eyes were so similar.
"What is it?"
The wind blows, blowing the corners of the prince's robe.
He stretched out his hand to help Hua Liuli sort out the fringed Su Chai on the sideburns, and smiled softly: "You will know."
Hua Liuli stretched out her hand to cover her chest, this feeling of being licked by the cat gently scratching her paw, a bit... strange?
The fifteen-year-old girl is full of vitality, full of freshness.
As long as the thought of the possibility of embarrassing her makes her frown, he can't bear it.
The prince couldn't help but chuckled, curled up his index finger and lightly tapped her forehead: "Liu Li... is still small."
In the teahouse, Xie Yao watched this scene blankly, her palms being pinched with blood. She looked away with a cold face, and said to the close servant girl: "I heard that there is a very powerful killer in the capital named Wusan?"
The maid nodded.
"You find a way to contact this assassin." Xie Yao's eyes were full of cold killing intent, "I want Hua Liuli's life."
"As long as you can kill her, you can have any money."
The author has something to say: May 3: The killer industry is dead, don't find me!
