Shang Junlin propped up the soft couch with one hand and looked sideways at Shen Yu: "I can wait, but when the time comes, don't look for reasons not to fulfill the promise."

Shen Yu got up and sat aside: "Why is Your Majesty so sure that I will lose? What if it is Your Majesty who loses?"

"Of course I will also fulfill my promise." Shang Junlin slowly got up and sat down.

The soft couch was still before, and Shang Junlin glanced at the distance between Shen Yu and Shen Yu, and said, "Let me have someone change to a soft couch."

"Why do you want to change all of a sudden? This is very comfortable." Shen Yu weighed himself, it was soft and big, and he could sometimes lie on Shang Junlin's lap.

Shang Junlin pursed his lips and said nothing, the comfort of the soft couch was no problem, he just wanted to change to a smaller one, the two of them sat in it just right, so that he would not be able to reach the depression on the other side.

"Your Majesty," Shen Yu moved to Shang Junlin's side and approached the man, "Why change?"

"Your Majesty is too far away from me just now." Shang Junlin answered the question.

Mr. Shen Yu wondered what the relationship was between the two. He turned a corner and suddenly realized something. He poked Shang Junlin's arm, and said with a little joking, "Your Majesty thinks the soft couch is too big?"

"What do you think?" Shang Junlin took advantage of the situation to hug Shen Yu's waist, dragged the person into his arms, and was satisfied.

Finding the reason, Shen Yu was overjoyed, and smiled on Shang Junlin's shoulder: "Your Majesty, you are too cute."

Shen Yu remembered that when he was outside the palace, Shang Junlin had a special liking for the soft couch there, and liked to take him with him very much. Even if he was dealing with official business, he had to sit next to him. This is the reason why he dared to love.

"Your Majesty wants me to sit closer, and to put it bluntly, why are you tossing this soft couch? Besides, there are great benefits to being large. If you are tired from sitting, you can lie down on it. What does Your Majesty think?"

"You don't want to change if you don't want to." Shang Junlin didn't have to change.

Shen Yu leaned on Shang Junlin and closed his eyes halfway. After all, he lost his body. Shen Yu was a little drowsy recently, and fell asleep after a while.

The shoulders sank, and Shang Junlin looked down at the young man who was leaning into his arms and fell asleep, and the light in his eyes became softer.

Taking the blanket on the side and putting it on the young man, Shang Junlin held the man in one hand and wrote the pen in the other. In the quiet afternoon, only the occasional sound of flipping the book could be heard.

As the spring season is approaching, the students have reduced going out, stayed in their temporary residence, and concentrated on preparing for the exam.

The more he got to the exam, the more Jiang Huaiqing couldn't sit still, and slammed the door of the next room.

"Brother Chengyu, are you busy?"

After a while, the door was opened, and a man in a dark blue robe appeared behind the door: "Come in."

Jiang Huaiqing walked in holding his book.

"I haven't seen Young Master Lin and Young Master Yu for several days. Aren't they going to participate in the Spring Festival, why haven't they been seen?" Jiang Huaiqing put his book next to He Chengyu.

"What are you doing with them?" He Chengyu poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

"Let's get together. After the exam, I don't know if we can get together." Jiang Huaiqing took a sip from the teacup, "Good tea."

"If you pass the exam, you can always see it if you are an official with Dahuan." He Chengyu looked down at the tea leaves floating in the cup. The two of them looked like people in high positions, and it was unlikely that they were also candidates. .

"Brother Chengyu said that we will meet by chance. I don't want it anymore. I came today to ask Brother Chengyu to help solve my doubts." Jiang Huaiqing opened his book and pointed to a few places, "Here, here, And here, I've been thinking about it for a few days, but I still don't quite understand."

He Chengyu took a closer look and talked about his own opinion.

The two discussed it for a while, and Jiang Huaiqing suddenly realized, "It turned out that I was wrong before."

"Huaiqing's interpretation is quite novel. I wonder if it's convenient to ask who Huaiqing is from?"

The two met on the way to the capital. One came from an aristocratic family, and the other came from a poor family, but unexpectedly had the same interests. Knowing that the destination was the same, they decided to go together.

Jiang Huaiqing was not defensive about people, and it didn't take much time for He Chengyu to figure out some basic information about Jiang Huaiqing and reciprocate. He Chengyu also told Jiang Huaiqing his own.

The more they get along, the more shocked He Chengyu is at Jiang Huaiqing's knowledge. This is a young man who is not much better than himself. He knows his own situation. He was cultivated by the efforts of the He family. , the only person who can allow Jiang Huaiqing to break through the barriers of poor families and aristocratic families is the one who teaches him these things.

"My teacher..." Jiang Huaiqing suddenly fell silent.

He Chengyu saw that Jiang Huaiqing's aura had undergone an earth-shaking change at that moment, and in just an instant, he had changed back to the person he was familiar with.

"It's just an ordinary old man. If I hadn't been picked up by the teacher in the ice and snow, I might not be able to stand here now."

He Chengyu didn't expect that there was such a tortuous story in it, he was stunned, and said, "Sorry, I don't know..."

"It's okay," Jiang Huaiqing waved his hand indifferently, "I didn't tell you this before. Brother Chengyu, don't blame me for hiding it."

Disturbed, Jiang Huaiqing picked up his book and bid farewell.

He Chengyu watched him go back to his room, and slowly lowered his eyes, he was reckless today.

Jiang Huai closed the doors and windows and sat on the bed. After a while, he rubbed his face. Let's talk about getting the title first, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do anything for the teacher now.

In order to provide students with a good environment for preparing for the exam, Yingxing Building, which accommodates many students, has suspended all recreational activities during this period.

As the date approaches, the streets are not as lively as they used to be.

The cold spring has passed, and the weather is gradually getting warmer. Shen Yu is still wearing thick clothes, and the house is warm every day.

Mu Xi and Eunuch Meng, who were serving closely, had already changed into lighter clothes, as did Shang Junlin.

"Does your Majesty think it's too hot in the room?" Shen Yu saw that Shang Junlin had changed into a light jacket, and the palace servants serving in the room were also wearing light clothes, only himself, also wearing thick winter robes.

"No," Shang Junlin put down his pen and stretched out his hand, "Ayu, come here."

Shen Yu walked over, put his hand on the man's hand, and after a while, he sat on the man's lap.

Shang Junlin touched Shen Yu's forehead: "How do you feel? Is it cold?"

Shen Yu nodded honestly: "A little bit."

If it weren't for the huge loss from the second attack, Shen Yu wouldn't have to suffer like this now.

Shang Junlin's arms passed through Shen Yu's waist, and his hands closed Shen Yu's palms.

The man's palm was very hot, and as soon as Shen Yu was held, he felt the warmth spread upward along his fingertips.

"Zhen Nuan Nuan for Ayu." Shang Junlin whispered to Shen Yu's ear.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to approve the book?" Shen Yu glanced at the low table and approved the general book.

"Not urgent."

Holding Shen Yu in his arms, Shang Junlin's anger instantly dropped because of the memorial, "It's all irrelevant."

While speaking, warm breath sprayed on the neck, gloomy and itchy, and put his head against Shang Junlin.

"Your Majesty, itching."

Shang Junlin turned his head to the side: "So what?"

Shen Yu's head didn't move.

Shang Junlin laughed: "You really can't get too close, and you can't get too far."

Shen Yu never admits that he is so difficult to serve: "Why can't you stay away?"

"I can't stand being far away, okay?" Shang Junlin was helpless.

"It was originally," Shen Yu muttered, turning his head and saying, "His Majesty seems a little unhappy, what happened?"

"It's about the invigilators this time, as well as the check-ups before the candidates enter the field." Shang Junlin attaches great importance to each imperial examination. Some of these young students may be the pillars of Dahuan's future. , Da Huan desperately needs fresh blood.

"Which ministers was originally arranged by Your Majesty to be in charge of this matter?" Shen Yu recalled the imperial examination fraud case that caused a lot of trouble in his previous life, and this life must not allow the same thing to happen again.

"It's from the Ministry of Rites, and Zheng Yuan is in charge." Shang Junlin played with Shen Yu's hot fingers.

Zheng Yuan.

Shen Yu pulled the memory of this imperial examination in his mind. When the fraud broke out in the past, it shook the world. Shen Yu heard the news in the fief of the King of Yue. He was deeply impressed by this matter because of his confidant Jiang Huaiqing who was later reused.

Jiang Huaiqing was implicated by innocent people, and he escaped after several lives and deaths. It has been a few years since he came to work under Shen Yu. He only said a few words about what happened back then.

As the chief examiner, Zheng Yuan was dismissed and investigated on the day of the incident. Later, it was found that the fraud was not his fault, but he was also charged with poor supervision, and was executed by the enraged Emperor Dahuan.

It was also after this incident that Shang Junlin's reputation for brutality spread among the people, and with the superposition of cases one by one, it became more and more popular.

Later, when people mentioned Shang Junlin again, the first thing that came to mind was not his recovery of the country and the creation of a prosperous world, but his murderous atrocities.

"Who are the assistants?" There were too many officials killed back then, and Shen Yu couldn't immediately determine who was the one who did it.

"There are several," Shang Junlin read out a list, "Why is Shen Yu suddenly interested in this?"

"I just want to know who made His Majesty unhappy. Since it has made His Majesty unhappy, just replace them. Could it be that His Majesty is missing them?"

Shang Junlin rubbed Shen Yu's face hard: "It's really annoying that they have been arguing all the time, but Ayu is considerate."

Shen Yu couldn't directly intervene in this matter. If he wanted to deal with it in advance, he could only think of other ways.

When he went to court the next day, Shang Junlin made a final decision on the officials in charge of the imperial examination. Unlike usual, this time a group of new officials were added.

Shang Junlin's attitude was firm, and seeing that there was no room for manoeuvre, the ministers calmed down.

Telling Shen Yu about the new arrangement, Shang Junlin stroked Shen Yu's hair: "What is Ayu worried about?"

Shen Yu shook his head.

Shang Junlin was about to say something when Mu Xi walked in with a letter.

"Young Master, the letter sent by Young Master Jiang, the person who sent the letter said that the letter must be delivered to you as soon as possible."

"Why does he keep writing letters to Ayu?" Shang Junlin rubbed Shen Yu's shoulder like a big dog.

"There's no such thing as always, plus this time it's only five fingers." Shen Yu asked Mu Xi to bring the letter.

Mu Xi didn't squint his hands and presented the letter.

Shang Junlin took a gloomy step and picked up the letter: "What did you say this time?"

Shen Yu took the letter from Shang Junlin, did not avoid him, opened it, and the two read it together.

The previous content was similar to the previous few times, and at the end, the conversation changed and talked about a strange thing encountered.

——Someone came looking for him recently, and said mysteriously that there was a way for him to win the first place in the meeting.
