After Shi Qing and Yun Zhi completed their tasks, they went directly back to the palace to meet with each other.

The servants beside the emperor waited for the two of them at the gate of the palace, for fear that they would not be able to enter after the key was given.

Seeing the little husband and wife come back, the servant heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that everything was going well, "Master Hou."

When he was in court, he said, "The emperor is waiting for the two of you in the imperial study."

The night in the palace is not much different from that of white, and the palace lanterns are bright like day.

The emperor sat in the imperial study and corrected the book, without the slightest intention of falling asleep.

Shi Qing and Yun Zhi came in.

"how?"

The emperor put down the red pen when he saw the two of them, and leaned back in the back of the chair, in a relaxed posture ready to rest.

The maid took a few steps forward and handed the tea cup to the emperor, who she picked up and took a sip.

Shi Qing took out the paper that was opened and sealed by Shen Yuan from the bag, and handed it over with both hands, "As the emperor said, the fish has already been hooked."

The emperor motioned to the servant to take the paper, and looked down.

After unpacking and then sealing the paper, you can always see the traces of being opened.

Shen Yuan only dared to do this because she was the chief examiner.

"The fish on the face has been hooked, but the fish on the back haven't shown their heads yet." The emperor put down the teacup and glanced at the paper. He happened to see the strategy and asked about Guan's views on flood relief and disaster relief.

This question involves politics, economy, administration of officials and criminal law, and is actually quite comprehensive and pragmatic.

Pity it was scrapped.

The emperor threw the test paper on the table, frowned slightly, "The real big fish will come after a while."

Shi Qing pretended not to see the battle between the princesses.

As far as the emperor is concerned, the eldest prince and Shen Yuan are not the people she wants to test at all. What she is looking for is who is standing behind the eldest prince.

In fact, Shiqing knew that this incident was provoked nine times out of ten by the fifth princess, but she couldn't jump up and say to the emperor:

Your weak and unable to take care of yourself, the fifth princess, is actually a werewolf in the guise of a villager!

This has to be done step by step.

Shi Qing and Yun Zhi didn't go back tonight, but stayed in the palace.

Shi Qing meant that it was almost midnight, so it might be better to stay overnight.

She smiled, "Look, all the ministers are here, and now the palace has to open the palace gate, mainly because I have to get up early again..."

The last sentence is the key.

The emperor said in private that Shi Qing was always stepping on the clock to order Mao, and he never noticed that it was half an hour early.

Seeing that the emperor nodded helplessly, the chamberlain arranged for the palace servants to take the two to rest, and Biao Shiqing could sleep until he woke up naturally.

The maid smiled and said softly to the emperor, "Sir Xiao is really a child, you always have to ask for candy after finishing things."

"She's not begging for candy," the emperor waved his hand and refuted the chamberlain's words, "She has a good schedule, and she has a sense of measure in her actions."

The emperor picked up the red pen again, ready to go to sleep after reading the book.

Yu Guang saw that the waiter didn't quite understand what he meant, so he said slowly: "Look at it, she naturally wakes up and sleeps until the afternoon of the Gongyuan lock, and all the candidates are admitted to the hospital."

This matter is about Enke and the next examinee, Shiqing knows it in his heart.

She and Yun Zhi were the last two people who came into contact with the paper before the exam. Even if the emperor trusted her not to cheat, Shi Qing and Yun Zhi wanted to stay in everyone's sight, not to contact anyone, lest there be an emergency.

"Shi Qing, I will definitely be better than Shi Ju in the future."

The emperor sighed, "It's a pity that my royal family has no such fate and missed such a child."

Shi Qing, the current situation is clear, is a name, is a minister's daughter.

However, Changning's heart is higher, and he always wants the highest, not the most.

Since the emperor said so, the servants must pay attention.

Who knows, really waited until about the afternoon of Shen Shi, when the Gongyuan was locked, and Shi Qing and Yun Zhi expressed their desire for the palace.

The maid was slightly startled. He always thought that the young adult could have today, mostly because her mother was Shiju, and the emperor only favored her a little bit, but now it seems that he is wrong.

The emperor appreciated Shi Qing purely because of who she was, and had nothing to do with who her mother was.

Readers all know that candidates will be admitted to the hospital early.

Check-in starts from the early morning light, and ends around the afternoon.

The gate of the Gongyuan is locked, and all personnel in the Gongyuan are only allowed to enter. There are officers and soldiers patrolling around the Gongyuan to ensure that not even a bird can fly over the walls of the Gongyuan.

In this case, whether it is to send news in or out, it is more difficult than Deng.

And this whole time, Shi Qing played chess with Yun Zhi in the resting palace, from Go to backgammon, playing all kinds of tricks.

It wasn't until the horn sounded from the lock of Gongyuan Courtyard that he put down his chess pieces and slumped back on the back of the Taishi chair, "It's possible to go back."

Today, stayed in the palace for a while, and Shi Qing was free and free outside.

The huge palace is really boring, no wonder the emperor loves lively things, if it is her, she loves the fresh gossip outside.

Shi Qing suddenly understood the reason why Yun Zhi went to Jianghu before.

Who doesn't like to roam the sea and let me roam.

She tilted her head to look at Yun Zhi and called him softly, "Baby."

Yun Zhi was stunned for a moment, the movement of collecting the pieces stopped for a moment, and he looked up at her.

The person sitting in front of him was wearing a robe with white lapels lined with a light blue round neck, and his long hair was tied up with a headband.

Unlike most men in Beijing, he doesn't like to put a jade crown on his head, just a simple hairband.

It looks fresh and clean, yet extremely simple and pure.

When Shi Qing looked over, Yun Zhi's slender fingers had just picked up a white chess piece.

At a glance, he felt that his hands were even more visible than the chess pieces made by Bai Yu.

It's just that after seeing what she was shouting, the young chivalrous man who was originally a gentleman couldn't help but lift his thin lips up. Laughing and restraining himself, he looked a little silly.

He pretended to be reserved with a "Huh?", but under the table, his legs were shaking complacently.

This person likes sticky love words.

Shi Qing smiled, "Yun Zhi, why haven't you said you went to Jianghu for a long time."

Shi Qing leaned forward on the table, stretched out his forefinger and gently swiped on the back of Yun's hand, curious, "Because of me?"

Why give up dreams and freedom for the beloved, and be willing to accompany her to be bound in this Gyeonggi.

Light is felt.

Shi Qing almost moved herself for Yun Zhi.

Jieyunzhi said two words calmly, "No."

"..."

White was moved.

Shi Qing rolled his eyes, his fingers changed from swiping to pinching.

The tenderness and sweetness of love is a boat, and when it comes to wind and waves, there are wind and waves.

"..."

Yun Zhi smiled and shrank away.

He didn't ask Shiqing before he arrived. He even stretched out his hand, taped Shiqing's forehead with the back of his other hand, and pinched her pulse again to make sure that Shiqing was completely free before saying, "At least not completely. Yes."

More likely because of his own heart.

Yun Zhi had been going to Jianghu all the time before, because he longed for the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes of happiness, revenge and freedom.

But then these longings and expectations gradually became dull compared to Shi Qing.

Like if without her, the rivers and lakes are just rivers and lakes, only with Shi Qing, the life will become colorful and vivid.

Yun Zhi was there before. Was it because of Shi Qing that he didn't leave the capital?

It was later discovered that it wasn't all.

He is like a sword qi, from the initial rampage he has slowly become mature and stereotyped.

Yun Zhi wasn't very clear about the reason why his father went to the mountains before, but now he understands a little bit.

Because the originally restless heart in the chest can only take root and be stable by someone's side.

At this time, it doesn't matter if there are no rivers and lakes, but if you can't see Shiqing, your heart seems to be uprooted and unsure.

Yun Zhi threw up the chess piece in his hand, caught it again, and said softly, "The reason for not going to Jianghu may be because—"

He looked at Shi Qing, his lips were red and his teeth were white, his eyes were clear and clean, and his smile was heartwarming, "You are my Jianghu."

You're already in it, why bother to look for it?

When Shi Qing lifted his eyes, he fell into Yun Zhi's serious and clear eyes, his heart seemed to have been hit by something, and ripples appeared.

Especially with his normal face, what he should say is more moving than the love words that he has deliberately practiced for a long time.

Shi Qing reached out and grabbed Yun Zhi's wrist, leaned over and kissed his lips, "I like this~"

Yun Zhi has words he likes.

He looked out from the corner of his light and saw that there was no one there, so he said to Shi Qing softly and vaguely, "Call the one you just called again."

With Shang Shiqing's "confused" gaze, Yun Zhi uncomfortably "rubbed" and "rubbed" his nose, "Just one, quite."

Shi Qing pretended to be stupid and blinked, "What? What are you calling? Yun Shaoxia?"

"No." Yun Zhi hinted frantically, "One of two characters."

He thought it was very strange. It was a word used to describe a vessel. How could it come out of Shiqing's mouth so provocatively.

Every time see it, the top of heart is numb, like being crawled by a small ant, itching when he opens his mouth and bites.

Shi Qing went back and looked outside, "Oops, I have to go back."

"..."

Yun Zhi pursed his lips and stared at her.

Seeing Shiqing unmoved, he said, "I'll show you a sword dance at night?"

Shi Qing shook his head.

Yun Zhi said, "I stand on the stone table and dance the sword for you to see?"

"..."

Can you change some fresh coaxing tricks?

Shi Qing went out, "Go back."

Yun Zhi sat still on the chair.

They all waited to raise their feet to cross the threshold, and then slowly got up and followed behind her.

Shi Qing stretched his hand back and grabbed Yun Zhi's belt. Yun Zhi held his arms in his arms, with a stubborn expression that would not hold hands with her.

Shi Qing smiled, "Stingy."

Yun Zhi snorted, "I learned from you."

"Why didn't you learn something?" Shi Qing asked sideways.

Yun Zhi looked up, "What?"

Learn from her how to pick a lock in two seconds?

Shi Qing was proud, "For example, I will call you baby."

Yun Zhi paused for a moment, and when he reacted, his auricles slowly turned red.

He finally had a light smile in his eyes, raised his hand and pinched the tip of his nose, and when he put his hand down, he placed it on the back of Shi Qing's hand and held her together.

He urged, "Go home quickly, we haven't gone back overnight, Dad must be worried."

"..."

Shi Qing looked at him.

Oh, you weren't so active just now.

This night, Shifu was the same as usual, Li was not too worried, but there was a small rumor in Beijing, saying that there were papers and answers for the scientific examination.

This rumor seems to be flying very fast on the wings of the east wind, and in just half a time, it has spread all over the capital.

"The smell paper came from the palace."

"In the palace?"

"Ah, say yes..." The scholar who spoke stretched out his finger to compare the number of six, "It's here, only for some disciples who have made friends with the Zhen family."

"This is unfair! We study hard in the cold window, and others have surpassed us for ten years in a short time! This is unfair!"

",unfair!"

The scholar added: "I have a relative who is from the Ministry of Punishment, and when I heard about this, Master Li Yunqing and Li Qucheng had been recruited before.

But I said before that the literati could not be punished, but she did it ruthlessly, and typically did not take us scholars seriously.

That's why she took the extremely important Enke of you and me as a child's play, and openly passed on the papers to cheat. This kind of person is not worthy of being a queen! "

With her inciting emotions, many scholars followed suit for a while.

Before entering the Tribute Academy, many students had already shouted the slogan "Enke is unfair, someone cheated".

The princess led people to suppress it, but these students still couldn't calm their anger.

The first scholar shouted loudly in front of the tribute courtyard: "Someone has passed the test paper, saying that this time Enke's policy test is about how to effectively fight floods and disaster relief."

She said: "If you go in and see that the exam questions are not what I said, I am willing, willing to eat my bamboo basket!"

The scholar pointed his hand down, and there was a calf-high bamboo basket on the ground, which contained the stationery and dry food used for the scientific examination in the past few days.

This summer's flood season has just passed. Compared with previous years, this year's flood is the lightest. There are almost no casualties among the people, and all the losses of farmland and livestock are within the budget.

If the policy theory tests this, it is really possible. After all, scholars can't just keep their heads in their studies, but also care about the affairs of the country.

So after the scholar who wanted to eat bamboo baskets finished speaking, everyone believed in eight or nine out of ten.

Originally thought that the threshold of Gongyuan was the Dragon Gate, and the foreground was bright. Looking at it now, I feel that it is dark inside, and I can't find the direction of the future.

Is it true that if you study honestly, you will lose to some opportunistic people?

Injustice, injustice!

In the face of these scholars who are just about to roll on the ground, the princess has a headache.

For some unknown reason, the princess suddenly stood up alone.

Although she has never been in contact with her, the princess felt inexplicably that if she was there, the scene would be controlled a lot.

It's Shi Qing.

If she stood here, it is estimated that all the scholars would not be able to quarrel with her...

The princess sighed and finally had to say: "Before I saw the paper, everything was rumors. If someone stirs up people's hearts again, don't blame me for taking her down on the spot!"

Inciting people before the exam, their hearts can be punished.

The princess twitched her fingers behind her back, always feeling that this was not good.

The head of the spear went to the sixth, just because she made a premise between herself and the fifth that she would steal the exam paper.

The princess was uneasy. Although she comforted everyone that this was just a rumor, she actually believed it six or seven percent in her heart.

If the topic of the policy discussion is really like what a scholar said just now, the matter will be much more serious.

After all, the sixth child is trapped, and it seems that the biggest beneficiary is her, the princess.

Without the sixth, among all the princesses, only she is the most promising one.

Without the sixth child, she would not have to worry about being with her relatives.

The princess looked at the scholar just now. The person who was standing in the middle of the team with a bamboo basket was no longer there in the blink of an eye.

Do not!

The princess was heartbroken and immediately sent someone to look for it.

A reader who incites public opinion and people's hearts must have a problem.

The scholar took the bamboo basket and slowly backed away, and when the officers and soldiers were not paying attention, he ran into the alley under the pretext of Xiaoxie.

When the princess brought someone to look for her, the scholar was standing at the entrance of the alley waiting for her, the bamboo basket was placed beside her leg, and there was no fear on her face, "His Royal Highness, let's talk?"

The scholar gestured toward the alley, and it was obvious that someone was waiting for her.

The princess stood still and looked into the alley.

Years of experience on the battlefield made her calm and calm, and she couldn't see excess emotions, making it impossible for people to guess what she was doing.

Compared with the six princesses whose emotions of joy and anger are all expressed on their faces, the princess is not the best choice for the eldest prince.

The eldest prince sat in the soft sedan chair in the alley, looking down at his newly trimmed nails.

No problem, no control is not important, as long as the interests are the same.

The two sides were at a stalemate. At this moment, the princess's people came to the news, saying that it was from the palace, and this year's Enke's topic was indeed missed.

The perpetrator was a palace attendant in the imperial study. This person was too afraid to say that the candidates outside the palace would cause trouble, and he had committed suicide because of fear of the crime.

Before he died, he insisted that this matter was ordered by the princess and had nothing to do with the sixth princess.

But the rumors in Beijing were saying that the exam papers were leaked from Zhen's house.

It was one of the disciples of the Zhen family who was drunk and bragging to others, and brought the transcripts of the exam papers. After everyone sobered up, they realized what a big event this was.

Huang Guijun and the sixth princess were temporarily banned from the palace for investigation, and Lord Zhen has been called into the palace.

This is obviously someone who framed the princess, but was implicated by his own disciples.

The originally stalemate situation was instantly tilted towards one place.

The queen's fingers clenched tightly behind her back, and her eyes were dark and gloomy when she looked at the entrance of the alley.

The road has been paved for her.

Just like this alley, the mouth is right there, as long as she steps on it and lifts her foot over it, she can get what she wants.

Everyone is smart, and it only takes three or two clues to know Fang's purpose.

The eldest prince is not afraid that the princess will not cooperate. Compared with the emperor and the Zhen family behind the sixth princess, the princess can only have the strength to compete with the sixth princess for the throne if she chooses to stand on the same line with him.

Even if it's not for a position, it's a fight for one's own "life".

The palace is a place where you live and die, and family love always comes after power and interests.

The eldest prince held his forehead with one hand, quietly waiting for the princess to make up her mind.

She makes no loss.

After all, when the autumn season is over, the students in the examination room come to make trouble, and then the Zhen family will be able to cover the mouths of all the scholars.

In order to quell the anger of the literati, the emperor will definitely punish the Zhen family, and even severely punish the sixth princess.

As long as the princess doesn't do anything during this period, that's fine.

The more inactive she was, the less the emperor would doubt her.

I didn't do anything, but received a big offer. How could the princess disagree?

The eldest prince is sure, she will be moved.

"understand?"

The reader at the entrance of the alley asked.

The princess lowered her eyes, her tone was as cold as ever, "It's clear."

The scholar showed a smile on his face, and even gave way to the side, signaling the princess to enter.

The eldest prince in the soft sedan chuckled softly, his tone and attitude very disdainful.

Look at it, said that the people from the palace are all the same.

Just when the eldest prince stretched out his hand to open the sedan curtain, the princess outside the alley raised her eyes and opened her eyes, and her eyes fell on the scholar.

She raised her hand without hesitation, "Someone, take her down!"

Inside the soft sedan chair, the eldest prince paused, looking out of the alley through the sedan chair curtain in surprise, and his breath followed.

what did she say?

how is this possible?

Such a big temptation and benefit. Always stupid!

The readers were even more caught off guard, and their originally full of joy turned into a puzzled face, "You dare!"

She kept turning her head to look into the alley, "Do you know who it is? Do you really know?"

The princess asked people to tie up the scholar and carry the bamboo basket at her feet, "Naturally."

Naturally know, naturally clear.

But she still chose to do so.

"This person incites people's hearts and deliberately led me here. It must be related to fraud." The princess released her clenched fingers behind her back.

The princess stood at the entrance of the alley, looking at the low-key and luxurious soft sedan inside, and said, "Uncle."

The eldest prince's jaw tightened, his eyes seemed to burn through the princess' heart through the sedan chair.

"That's it." The eldest prince said slowly, "It's really my Xiao family's child."

There was a deep anger in his soft voice.

He and Shen Yuan paved the way, and everything was calculated.

She spent a lot of time cooking a table full of dishes, and the princess only needed to sit down and eat with chopsticks.

In the end, she just said, "I'm done, but I'm not hungry."

The eldest prince put his hand on the window of the soft sedan, his fingertips digging hard at the window, his newly trimmed nails were broken, and his knuckles were white.

He breathed heavily, his silver teeth clenched tightly, and after a while, he said, "Forget it if you don't want to. In the future, when you are trampled under the foot of the old sixth, not to mention that your uncle has not helped you."

The eldest prince retracted his fingers, and his emotions had stabilized:

"If you can, leave the people behind the bamboo baskets at the mouth of the alley, otherwise the candidate for fraud may change from the sixth princess to your princess."

"I believe that Huang Guijun, the Zhen family and the sixth princess would be happy to see you in prison."

The princess was silent, and waited for the eldest prince to finish before saying, "How uncle chooses is uncle's business, but I should do what I should do in this position."

"In addition, uncle, no matter how the fight between me and Lao Liu will be in the future, it will be a private matter for the two of us. You really stretch your hand too far."

The princess raised her eyes and looked at the soft sedan chair, and bowed respectfully, "I will report what happened today, and I hope my uncle will forgive me."

No matter who wins or loses between her and Lao Liu, the new emperor should not be under the control of others.

Especially Fang Shede made such a big situation, at the expense of the future and fate of the following scholars, just to achieve his own goals.

If this person controls the court in the future, the new emperor will be a puppet.

In the future, if she can't compete, whether it's because of her health or something else, she deserves to lose, she just keeps her mind and does what she should do.

You can't change your body, but you choose who you become.

The princess straightened her back, "Uncle is precious."

She finished the line and left.

With the sound of distant footsteps, the eldest prince's silver teeth almost shattered.

With a sigh of relief, he smashed the contents of the soft sedan chair outward as if to vent his anger.

It is rare for the servants to see the eldest prince so mad and dignified, all kneeling on the ground and not daring to breathe.

You must know that the eldest prince has always shown people with a cold, dignified, graceful and indifferent face in front of others.

The eldest prince breathed a sigh of relief after venting enough.

He can't panic, he can't "chaos", after all, he hasn't lost yet.

Now that all the candidates have entered, and Shen Yuan didn't send any news last night, she said that the exam papers were all right and everything was going according to plan.

The princess' non-cooperation is just one of the small twists and turns, and it is not something to be afraid of.

When the early autumn test is officially opened, the students will make trouble.

At that time, he pushed the princess into the net with his backhand, saying that she was intending to frame her by fraud, and instead he helped the sixth princess, and the effect was the same.

To a seditious reader who has been caught...

When the Gongyuan becomes "chaotic", the emperor may not care about a scholar.

The eldest prince returned to his deputy graceful and dignified appearance.

He just needs to get up early and wait for news from Shen Yuanbian.
