Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

"Come on, come on, brothers, let's not go home until we are drunk. But we have a deal. Today, I will pay for the bill. Let's eat and drink!"

Holding a small wine cup in his hand, Lu Boshan had a smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and toasted the brothers across the table.

To show sincerity, drink it all in one gulp.

His skin was dark, but in the light of the candlestick, it looked a little red, and it was obvious that he was a little drunk.

"Boshan, we brothers are not as prosperous as you are now... We either stay at home all day reading sage books, or stay at home all day reading sage books."

"My father said that if I don't pass the imperial examination, he will arrange a position for me in the Imperial Horse Department... What do you think this is?"

The handsome man supported his face with one hand, holding a jade folding fan in the other hand, with a look of worry on his face.

Some of the people sitting at the table were happy, while others were sad. After all, they were all classmates back then. Now Lu Boshan had already inherited the title of Marquis and was doing very well.

Wherever you go, people call you "Little Marquis".

Although Lu Boshan has been stationed in the border area for many years and has little presence in Jinzhou City, he has finally made a name for himself.

It's much better than them being scolded by their parents every day at home.

"Oh, no, no - the Imperial Horse Department is not a bad job, it's very lucrative. Brother Huang, if you don't want to go, let me go."

Everyone at the table burst into laughter, making fun of him. Only Lu Boshan did not laugh, but picked up the wine cup again and poured a glass of wine.

He filled the wine cup and pushed it over.

"Everyone, we have been classmates since childhood. How could I forget you brothers now that I have become successful?"

"Now... there is a big deal that can make all of you brothers get promoted and rich. What do you think?"

Huang Yisi's eyes lit up, he ignored the teasing just now, and with a little excitement, he quickly picked up the glass of light wine that Lu Boshan handed over.

"Just say it, my Lord. If you continue to be so cowardly, I will find a hemp rope to hang myself."

“I can’t learn, I can’t understand, and I can’t pass the exam…”

Lu Boshan's words naturally attracted the attention of the young masters at the table. They came to the banquet today and already knew that Lu Boshan was not going to entertain everyone.

After the emperor passed away, if anyone was found singing and drinking outside in private, he would be in great trouble.

"Brother Lu, what do you think?"

"I will certainly accompany you."

The other few people clasped their hands together and saluted towards Lu Boshan's seat. In an instant, the atmosphere at the table became serious.

Now that the palace is under martial law, the old men at home are so busy that they have no time to rest, their lips are blistered from anxiety, and no one has time to discipline them. Instead, they have time to do other things.

"I can't say that I have a good opinion, but I am counting on you brothers to lend me a hand. When the time comes, you will have as much fame and fortune as you want."

"We share the good times and the bad times together!"

Lu Boshan knew clearly that these young masters had no real power, but they were of noble birth after all. Even if those old foxes had their favorite candidates in mind, they would certainly consider their own descendants.

What he needs most at the moment is to win over and persuade these noblemen, although his promises may not necessarily convince those old foxes who have been in the court for a long time.

But it will eventually make those who are wavering extend an olive branch to you. No matter if you are their first choice or not, it will at least be convenient for them.

"Brother Lu, what are you talking about? Brother Lu thinks highly of us brothers, so we are naturally willing to go through fire and water for him, without hesitation."

They all put down their bowls and chopsticks, stopped drinking, and looked straight at Lu Boshan.

"No hurry, tonight... just listen to me and I will tell you slowly."

……

The night breeze blew hard and the temperature became a little colder. Zhao Changlin pinched the quilt with his fingers, pulled it up a little, and carefully covered Xia Zhiyuan with it.

A slight smile appeared on her lips, and her eyes were clear.

It seemed to be drizzling outside the window again, hitting the green rubble, making a fine sound.

Xia Zhiyuan was also frowning in his sleep, a look he had never seen before, so Zhao Changlin moved closer.

He stretched out his fingertips, trying to smooth out Xia Zhiyuan's slightly furrowed brows, but before his fingertips could fall, they suddenly met a pair of open eyes.

"When did Your Highness wake up?"

Her sudden question made Zhao Changlin stunned for a few seconds, and then he replied softly: "I just woke up."

"Today I want to meet with the ministers in the court."

"Wait another half a quarter of an hour, then you'll have to take a shower and change clothes."

Seeing that Zhao Changlin was about to get up, Xia Zhiyuan became anxious and hooked his fingertips on the belt of Zhao Changlin's moon-white nightgown. Feeling the thin nightgown rubbing against his skin, Zhao Changlin looked back in confusion.

She was bleary-eyed at the moment, with her long black hair hanging down. She looked a little listless, with her hands on the bed. Her complexion was much better than in the past few days, at least the dark circles under her eyes were not that serious.

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Changlin looked at Xia Zhiyuan. Her expression became a little indifferent again, no longer as tender as last night.

"Your Highness, can you take Zhiyuan with you?"

She knew that this request was a bit presumptuous, but Xia Zhiyuan thought that she could use the system points to directly check the crown prince and affiliation chosen by these officials from other provinces.

Avoid the traitors from backstabbing Your Highness!

In this way, she can help His Highness and improve her own favorability at the same time. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?

"Dear host, due to the requests from many players recently, we have added a new feature to the store, which allows you to view the camps that many NPCs want to belong to with one click - of course, other items are charged extra~"

"One-click purchase can also unlock discounts. Since this is the first time the host is using it, this system has decided to get a 1% discount for the host!"

This attractive price is simply a supermarket discount sale, buy 1 get 1 free!

Xia Zhiyuan felt that she absolutely could not suffer any loss - it was just 10 points. She could plan the camps in the minds of all the ministers and use this to infer who had the greatest power, who was the most threatening, and who had the most military power.

Telling His Highness directly is absolutely not an option. It would be tantamount to seeking death. I have to find a way to attack him indirectly and silently.

Zhao Changlin pinched his thin shirt with his fingers and covered the exposed white shoulders again.

He had a vague guess in his mind that Zhi Yuan must be extremely frightened in this empty palace as he asked him so cautiously.

Many people in the palace have different ideas.

Although there are shadow guards guarding him, it is not safe after all. Zhao Changlin cannot trust all the people serving him, even if they are maids who have served him since childhood.

People's hearts will change.
