The imperial examination soon came, and as expected, the male protagonist Yan Qi was extremely talented and won the first prize.

Xu Shiya and Yourong cheered happily for him.

Even so, the Wu'anhou faction, who couldn't stand Xu Zhiwei's family, was quite critical of their elopement.

However, Yan Qi was able to thrive even if he was appointed as a sixth-grade official.

Jiang Miao originally wanted to ask the secret guard to buy some more stories and see the follow-up, but he said coldly that Mr. Shu was ill and stopped reading.

Jiang Miao settled for the next best thing and asked him to buy another version, but it turned out to be too popular and sold out.

He retreated again and asked the secret guard to buy a few copies. The secret guard said indifferently: "They are all gone."

Jiang Miao: "..." Damn, where are the liars? !

If you don't want to help, forget it. Why are you dragging me? Humph!

A month later, the weather gradually became hotter.

Jiang Miao was watching fish and eating homemade smoothies in the pavilion, when suddenly a secret guard descended from the sky and handed him a dozen storybooks.

Jiang Miao looked at it with a look of disbelief. She ran out of the pavilion and glanced at the western sky several times, wondering: "The sun doesn't seem to come out from the west today, does it? Why did you suddenly buy me a storybook? Once you buy it, Why did you buy me so much? Did you do anything to feel sorry for me?"

The secret guard's eyebrows twitched, his face was expressionless but he bowed his hands very respectfully, and quickly disappeared.

"Ahem? Don't leave, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Laifu, who was holding a fan in the pavilion, was also a little confused. He leaned over to the stone table and took a look. He raised the top book in surprise and shook it: "Master, there is your favorite book." .”

"Really? Let me see." Jiang Miao ran over and snatched it from his hand. After a closer look, it was the follow-up of Xu Shaoqing and Princess Yongning that he had always wanted to see.

But after he flipped through several pages, everyone talked about their own things, without mentioning the interaction between the two of them.

Jiang Miao muttered something strange, and then turned two pages. The book said that the queen had been ill since last month, and passed away yesterday due to serious illness. Princess Yongning was heartbroken and lost weight several times.

When the queen died, Princess Yongning had to observe mourning for her for three years, which meant that the marriage between Xu Shaoqing and Princess Yongning was temporarily unavailable.

Jiang Miao turned over again and it was gone.

Looking at the thin book, Jiang Miao didn't know whether he was happy or worried.

He didn't know anything about such a big thing happening.

It is enough to see that he is no different from the frog in the well now.

Just as Jiang Miao was thinking about it, there was movement outside the yard.

Laifu quickly went to see it.

It turned out that the queen died, and the whole country mourned. Their future food and clothing expenses were halved, and they could only eat vegetarian food, and they were not allowed to wear colorful clothes or laugh.

Lai Fu repeatedly said yes, not daring to confront them at this time. He could only nod and bow down to see the person coming. When the person walked away, he gritted his teeth and complained: "Isn't this a clear sign of bullying? Our food and clothing expenses are We are not even as good as a servant, and now we have to cut it in half, how can we survive? The Crown Prince, you are the Crown Prince after all, how dare they do this to you?"

Jiang Miao patted his shoulder and said with a nonchalant smile: "Today is different from the past. Forget it, don't worry about it. What's more, the Queen is gone. It should be like this, and..."

He leaned over and whispered: "We have Captain Xu, what are we afraid of?"

"But..." Laifu looked at his body, a little worried, "Master, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

Jiang Miao: "..." I'm not, I don't have you, don't talk nonsense!

"We really don't have that." Jiang Miao put on a kind smile, "Besides, I am in good health!"

Laifu: "Oh, okay."

"..." What's going on with your perfunctory tone? !

Jiang Miao was so angry that her head ached. She took a deep breath, not intending to argue with him. She looked at him for a while and then said, "Laifu, I will ask Captain Xu to find a job for you tonight. You will follow him in a few days." Get out."

"Okay." Laifu nodded, "When I get my monthly payment, I won't have to rely on the Captain for everything. You can also rest for a while."

The corner of Jiang Miao's mouth twitched, "...I've already said that I really have nothing to do with him. Forget it, it's not important. You can just keep the monthly money for yourself. You see that your boss is not young anymore, so it's time to save money to marry a wife."

"Ah?" Laifu looked shocked, "Master, don't you plan to give me a job? The personal servants of other princes and princes have this treatment. Master, you won't take advantage of me just because you are banned, right? ?”

"..." Damn, I don't even get this treatment.

Jiang Miao coughed lightly, raised her chin, and gave him a noble and cold glance: "Bullshit, could I be such a petty gainer? I just think that true love is invincible. Instead of me arranging it for you, you might as well go out. Find a girl who you like and likes you. It makes sense to grow old with such a girl. Here, this is the wedding gift I prepared for you, take it."

As he spoke, he took out two couple's jade pendants that could be combined into one from his sleeve pocket, as well as a land deed and a token of money deposited in a bank, and stuffed them all into him.

Laifu looked at the things in his arms, his eyes almost popped out of his head, and he stammered: "These, these are for little ones?!"

Jiang Miao raised his eyebrows: "Uh-huh, it's all yours. It's rare to see a master as generous as me. Why don't you take it and hide it with you? Don't hide it in the house, or you might be robbed."

"Okay, okay! Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you so much, Your Majesty!" Laifu beamed, happily unable to find Bei.

Jiang Miao looked at him, lost in thought.

It can be regarded as compensation from him and the original owner to Laifu.

Although Laifu helped him do a lot of immoral things, compensation still had to be given. As for whether he would suffer the same retribution as him in the future, he didn't know.

That night, Jiang Miao really told Xu Shaoqing about this matter.

Xu Shaoqing did not agree immediately. Instead, he stared at him for a long time. When Jiang Miao couldn't bear it anymore, he asked: "Do you want to find a job for him or just send him away?"

"Both...maybe." Jiang Miao didn't dare to look at him and looked at the flickering candle, "Laifu is older than me. He will reach the age of [-] in a year. He has to save money quickly to marry a wife, otherwise he will die. He has become an old man and no one wants him."

24-year-old Xu Shaoqing: "..."

He looked at him and suddenly felt very uncomfortable. At that moment, he felt that the world was spinning. His whole body felt as if someone had suddenly kicked him into an abyss and kept falling. The young man in front of him was getting further and further away from him. He reached out to grab everything. Can't catch it.

The young man hugged him tightly, a little dazedly, and pushed harder, and his always calm and unhurried voice was trembling, "Miaomiao, I can help you find a good job for Laifu, but you have to stay with me in the future. Okay?"

After a pause, he added: "Laifu is gone and there is no one to take care of you. I want to take care of you."

Jiang Miao was out of breath as he hugged her, "I..."

Xu Shaoqing let go of his hand at this moment, and those beautiful eyes looked a little fragile at the moment, "Stay with me, Miaomiao... I want you to stay."

The young man's voice was almost humble, like pleading.

Jiang Miao has never seen Xu Shaoqing like this.

He always had a smile on his face, as if everything was under his control, and he never missed anything. He looked confident and calm, as if he was the king and master of this world.

Jiang Miao looked at him and opened his mouth. He couldn't hold it back. After a long time, he said jokingly: "I just want to find a job for Laifu, not to arrange funeral arrangements. Look at your reaction, it's too big." Don't worry, I will definitely live longer than you."

The boy didn't answer the question, and Xu Shaoqing suddenly laughed, "Yes, you must live longer than me, because I won't let you die in front of me."

There was a slight smile on his lips, and the darkness in his eyes gradually became thicker. He put his hands on Jiang Miao's shoulders, lowered his head and kissed his lips, his movements were extremely gentle.

Jiang Miao felt that something was wrong with this man, so he didn't dare to move.

When he discovered his intention, Jiang Miao suddenly came to his senses and struggled in panic. When the last step was taken, Xu Shaoqing held back, but hugged him tightly and slept all night. No matter how he moved, he could not escape. .
