Three days later, Yang Nian brought Yao'er to the academy to announce the results.

Some people were happy, some people bowed their heads, Yang Nian saw it all, and because of Yang Xiaoyu, he focused on observing Qiu Shao.

He didn't look very surprised, and he didn't show joy for the first place, he was very stable.

"Mr. Qiu already had a plan in mind when he wrote the article, and he took it for granted to get the first place." Yao'er whispered in Yang Nian's ear.

"Look at him, although he is young, he acts maturely and prudently. Xiaoyu is really a good pick."

"That's right, should I hand over Miss's letter to him now?"

"No busy, help me call him into the inner hall, I will talk to him alone."

"okay."

Yang Nian sat at the long table in the inner hall, moving his facial features, preparing to put on a serious look.

Yao'er led Qiu Xu into the inner hall, then retreated by herself.

Qiu Xu saluted Yang Nian and called out, "My lord."

"Do you know what I asked you for?"

"I don't know."

"I have a letter for you." Yang Nian took out Yang Xiaoyu's letter from his sleeve and put it on the table.

Qiu Xu was very cautious and didn't go forward, "I wonder who wrote this letter to the scholar?"

"You'll know if you look at it yourself."

Yang Nian had already said that, so Qiu Xu couldn't refuse anymore, stepped forward to open the envelope, and shook out the letter paper, which was in his handwriting that he couldn't be more familiar with.

"Yang Xiaoyu, the niece of the current empress dowager, the empress's cousin. The only daughter of the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, and the fiancée wife of Lord Guoyong!" Yang Nian's eloquent voice caused Qiu Shao to kneel on the ground.

"Do you know what your crime is?"

"My lord, it is clear that everything is the fault of the scholar, and has nothing to do with the lady." Qiu Xu's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.

Yang Nian raised his chin, which means that Yang Xiaoyu's letter is still in your hand.

No one expected that Qiu Xu rolled up the letter paper and stuffed it directly into his mouth, without chewing it, and swallowed it.

Yang Nian was stunned, the aura he had put on was gone for a moment, he pointed at Qiu Shao, "You...you, you..."

Qiu Shao frowned, and repeated, "It has nothing to do with Miss."

Yang Nian wanted to laugh but couldn't, so he had to turn his back, "Yang Xiaoyu is my younger sister, I know what she thinks, but you and the prince are very different, any sensible person knows how to choose."

"My lord is saying that I am overwhelmed?"

"Huh?" Yang Nian didn't expect Qiu Xu to talk back.

"Even if someone is born noble, he will still be an idiot without working hard the day after tomorrow; and although my life is humble, I believe that one day I can bring glory to Xiao Yu."

Yang Nian sneered when he heard his remarks, "Come and discuss fate with me when something really happens to you."

Qiu Xu knelt alone in the empty inner hall, clenched his fists.

Yang Nian sat on Li Sheng's bed and watched Li Sheng pack his clothes one by one, "Will it be cold in Jiangbei? Bring a winter coat?"

"People who have been in northern Xinjiang can still be afraid of the cold." Li Sheng smiled.

Yang Nian stopped talking, and lowered his head to flip through the book.

"You seem to be unhappy all day, what's the matter, did something happen in the academy?"

"No, I don't know why Yang Xiaoyu fell in love with that stupid boy Qiu Xu. He looks quite reliable, but he still has some out-of-the-ordinary ideals."

"Aspire to be lofty, this is what the teacher taught us back then." Li Sheng replied, "How can you laugh at others?"

"He is like a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. When God slaps him from head to toe, he will understand the hardships of the world."

"I think you are envious of others. Look at you being fanned by the sky." Li Sheng sat beside Yang Nian and helped him smooth out his messy hair. "You always wear a cloak when you go out."

"Go and tell Yao'er directly, I can't remember."

"I remember all the books in the cabinet, but I can't remember this little thing."

"Well," Yang Nian put down his book, put his head on Li Sheng's lap, and lay down on his side, "Don't go, tell someone to find Si Zhi."

"You said, you have to treat people with sincerity, so that people will submit to me."

Yang Nian pursed his lips, "I don't know why, I haven't been separated from you for a long time, and it hurts when we are happy, and what I do is not going well."

Li Sheng lowered his head and kissed Yang Nian's forehead, "It took me a month to come back."

"Not even for a day." Yang Nian's eyes were inexplicably wet, "Hurry up and coax me, or I will lose my temper."

"Okay." Li Sheng's hoarse voice reassured Yang Nian, "May I bring you Jiangbei's special products?"

"Not enough." Yang Nian wanted to change his posture, so he turned his head, but he happened to touch an indescribable part, his face flushed purple, his body froze, and he immediately sat up straight.

"I'm leaving tomorrow," Li Sheng held back a smile, "Why don't you?"

"Don't!" Yang Nian held Li Sheng's face with both hands, and pinched fiercely on both sides, "Where have you read all the sage books?"

Li Sheng was in pain, "It's you who read the books of sages and sages, not me."

The two lay side by side on the bed, looking at the delicate patterns carved on the top of the bed.

"Have you ever thought about what to do when things are done?" Yang Nian leaned on Li Sheng's arm.

"With the help of a famous minister like you, can I still cure this world?"

Yang Nian finally expressed the hesitation that had been haunting his heart these days, "I mean, son."

"Give me a baby."

"Nonsense! I mean it."

Li Sheng knew that once Yang Nian got serious, he couldn't be fooled, "I've thought about this problem, first the prince is weak, there are only me and the emperor's brother, if I... I will pass the position to his son in the future. "

"Why do you want to be emperor so much?"

"In the beginning, it was indeed a battle of emotions. Later, when I saw that the people were destitute, poor and weak, and the border was repeatedly invaded, I wondered if these things could be avoided if it were me..."

"I know, you are not a person who is obsessed with selfish interests." Yang Nian replied, "I am, I care more about the people around me than the common people. It is too difficult to be a person like my father."

"I'll take care of the world, you just take care of me."

Yang Nian smirked, turned sideways, and pressed on Li Sheng's body, "I've changed my mind, I'm on top today."

"How can you trouble your lord?" Li Sheng smiled very sweetly.

"Hey, Yao'er, why are you standing at the door and not going in?" Ren Xiaoxiao saw Yao'er leaning sideways on Li Sheng's bedroom door with a pile of clothes in her arms.

Yao'er hastily gestured to Ren Xiaoxiao to keep her voice down.

Ren Xiaoxiao looked at her suspiciously.

Yao'er couldn't make a move, but her eyes were rolling and her expression was ambiguous.

Just as Ren Xiaoxiao nodded, Shi Lingxin shouted loudly, "What are you two doing sneakily?"

"Come in!" Yang Nian couldn't help it, opened the door, and three thieves rushed in.
