Prince Consort

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Didn't you say to borrow Gu Fu Yin's policy theory for me today?"

Xie Ze'an said: "Fang Baoding dragged me to my uncle's house just now, and I just came back. I haven't had time to go to Mr. Yao's house yet."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Then let's go together, I haven't had time to visit Mr. Yao yet."

Xie Ze settled down for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine." He glanced at Zhao Chongzhao nonchalantly, "I haven't seen Brother Qingze for a long time, and I miss him very much."

Zhao Chongzhao's face turned dark all of a sudden.

Zhao Chongzhao asked: "What do you miss him for?"

Xie Ze'an lowered his eyes to look at Zhao Chongzhao's handshake with his own, and said lightly: "Brother Qingze has a lot of interesting opinions, and we chatted very well. We were reluctant to part when we went out together a few times. It's a pity that Qingze and I have recently Brother Ze is not busy, so there is no chance to meet him."

Zhao Chongzhao subconsciously tightened his five fingers.

Xie Ze'an said, "Your Highness, you hurt me."

Zhao Chongzhao was stunned, and let go of his hand.

Xie Ze'an stood up and said, "Let's go to Mr. Yao's."

Xie Ze'an was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

Uncle Guo is a man of few words, and he will never express his doubts easily. Xie Zean understands the connection between Uncle Guo's inexplicable "two stars shine together" a few years ago and today's "Chongzhao has other thoughts about you". Liao Guojiu was reminding himself of something.He and Uncle Guo are both sensible people, and the two of them made jokes to expose the topic, but it doesn't mean that they really think it didn't happen.

Just now Xie Ze'an tested Zhao Chongzhao a little bit.

The result was so obvious that it far exceeded his expectations.

With just a light test, Zhao Chongzhao's thoughts were all revealed.Thinking back carefully, Zhao Chongzhao said that "the other party was not pleasing to the eye at first", isn't that exactly what happened when they first met?Zhao Chongzhao was almost thrown out of the station.

He had never noticed such an obvious thing.

Xie Ze'an is not a person who talks about principles, but Zhao Chongzhao is his uncle in name, how can he see that he shouldn't have such thoughts about him-this situation is not what he expected at all.Once guessed in this regard, Princess Yan Ning's recent behavior seems to be a bit strange.

Xie Ze'an and Zhao Chongzhao went to Yao Dingyan's house together.

Yao Dingyan has not been reinstated for the time being, and he has been learning about the current situation in the capital for the past few days.After seeing Zhao Chongzhao, Yao Dingyan said: "Your Highness has made a lot of progress recently, Mr. Xu has put a lot of effort into it."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Mr. Xu has always been dedicated."

Yao Dingyan talked to Zhao Chongzhao again about the reform of the imperial examination, and after he finished speaking, he took a look at Xie Ze'an: "I don't know, but I don't know, Sanlang is already a scholar, and his grades are still the first. I am afraid that this year's autumn Can I go directly to participate?"

Zhao Chongzhao was stunned, and looked at Xie Ze'an.

Xie Ze'an said: "Be low-key and low-key. If you brag everywhere, what if people say that I came through the back door. I have a thick skin and it's okay. If the old mountain chief is accused of gossip, he will kick his legs and lose his breath!"

Yao Dingyan glared at him: "Sanlang, do you ever talk like that?"

Xie Ze'an cried with a sad face: "My life is miserable..."

Last year, Yao Dingyan was leaving Beijing to observe his filial piety, and Xie Zean was very happy. As a result, Yao Dingyan sent him a letter asking him to help send it to Baichuan Academy.That was the legendary "No. [-] University in Beijing". Xie Ze'an had always wanted to visit it, but because he was not sensitive to this kind of "sacred place of learning", he had never been there.This time, with an aboveboard reason, Xie Ze'an came to watch in a serious manner.

I didn't expect to be unable to leave once I went.

Yao Dingyan knew Xie Zean's character, and he never gave Xie Zean a chance to take a break when he was in Beijing. Naturally, he would not let Xie Zean spend his days lazy when he left Beijing this time. he goes."

The most annoying thing for Xie Ze'an is to solve problems, solve problems, and write articles in a serious manner. Facing the irrational old face of Lao Shanzhang, he almost wants to cry but has no tears.

Yao Dingyan said: "If I don't force you, how can you put your mind on the right path." He took a few manuscripts from the bookshelf, put them on the table and nodded, "Look at you, let you grow up! What's it like?"

Seeing the familiar handwriting on it, Xie Ze'an guiltily prepared to stuff the manuscript into his sleeve, but Zhao Chongzhao got it first.

Xie Ze'an: "..."

Zhao Chongzhao looked happily at the policy theory that Xie Ze'an handed over to Lao Shanchang. The grammar is very serious, but the content is very fresh, which refreshes people's spirits.But at the end of the second page, when he was talking about the key point, Xie Zean swiped his pen and said something like this: "If you want to know what will happen next, let me go home and let me go home!"

Zhao Chongzhao: "..."

He vaguely understood the mood of the old mountain leader at that time.

Yao Dingyan said: "Anyway, whatever you suffer is self-inflicted, no one else is to blame. Who told you to be so angry with your mountain chief?"

Xie Ze'an said quietly: "Don't bring up the past..."

Xie Ze'an is used to being free, how can he be restrained?That kind of life is so fucked up, Xie Ze'an just failed to organize the unintentional "comrades in arms" to start a truancy career together, escape from the back mountain to cook pheasant and grilled fish, and make up for his poor internal organs by beating teeth.Of course, after being discovered, the consequences were very tragic, and it is almost unbearable to recall.

The old mountain chief was listed by Xie Ze'an as "the person I don't want to see again in this life".

This period of "study career" was also listed by him as "the day that he least wants to think of in this life".

In order to leave that painful place as soon as possible, Xie Ze'an could only grit his teeth and concentrate on preparing for the exam. He practiced one article after another, and wrote out his thoughts one by one—of course, all the articles that were handed over to Lao Shanzhang "Let me go home, let me go home", he burned everything else.

Just kidding, he is not the kind of awesome person who dares to be the first in the world, and he is not interested in being a pioneer of reform.

After finally surviving the children's test, Xie Ze'an fled and returned home.

The good news that the old mountain chief sent to Xie's mansion was also put aside by Xie Ze'an, and he didn't take it to heart at all.This kind of thing should be celebrated with drums and gongs, but he has no ambitions, why do he need these names?In vain.

Xie Ze'an said: "Sir, don't think of other ideas to torment me. I can't play with autumn and spring."

Yao Dingyan said: "It's up to you, Your Majesty told me early this morning that you can set an example, Sanlang." He took out the booklet that Zhao Chongzhao handed over a few days ago from his sleeve, "Which part of this is from yours? Your Majesty, me, and Mr. Xu can all see the handwriting, it would be too wasteful to let you live your life so comfortably. If you don’t want His Majesty to ask you to go in person, then you’d better sign up yourself.”

Xie Ze'an said: "I have never heard of people being forced to take the exam. If I go, do you dare to give me a three-yuan pass!"

Yao Dingyan said: "You and I, Mr. Xu, are not the chief examiner. Of course we dare not give it. You can ask His Majesty if you dare to give it."

Xie Ze'an smiled and said, "Of course I dare, even if you give me a chance!"

Yao Dingyan said: "The tone is loud enough, but it's a pity that he didn't even dare to sign up. If Qingze hadn't been filial, he would have competed with you long ago."

Xie Ze'an said: "I don't dare to compare with brother Qingze."

Zhao Chongzhao listened intently, and waited for them to talk about Yao Qingze before interrupting: "Is Qingze here?"

Yao Dingyan said: "He went out to participate in the poetry meeting."

Yao Qingze usually doesn't show his face when he goes to poetry fairs, but he just takes the opportunity to meet some useful people. When he encounters a chance to get ahead, he often shirks and says "grandmother died less than a year ago", and if he can't evade, he will write a memorial poem.People these days just follow this pattern, thinking that he is a pure and filial person, and most of them are happy to associate with him.

Zhao Chongzhao and Xie Ze'an were having tea with Yao Dingyan when they suddenly heard noises outside.After a while, the door opened, and Yao Qingze walked in with an uneasy expression.

Seeing that there were other people in Yao Dingyan's study, Yao Qingze was taken aback.The ashes on his face faded, he took two steps forward and asked: "Your Highness, Saburo, are you here?"

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Qingze, are you back? We are leaving now." He looked at the sky, got up and said goodbye to Yao Dingyan, "It's time for Saburo and I to go back."

Yao Dingyan nodded: "Qingze, send His Highness and them out."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "No need, I will come here often in the future, there is no need to send it back and forth." After speaking, he dragged Xie Zean away.

Xie Ze'an knew that Zhao Chongzhao would say this because his few temptations made Zhao Chongzhao very wary of Yao Qingze.

He smiled wryly in his heart.

Originally, he was still worried about Qin Ruliu, why did the matter suddenly fall on him?

Xie Ze'an didn't believe a word Zhao Chongzhao swore.But Xie Ze'an was convinced that Zhao Chongzhao was likely to be dazzled by the so-called "love" for a while, and did many irrational things.Once this guy goes crazy, even he can't control it.

Xie Ze'an found a reason to say goodbye to Zhao Chongzhao, returned home and looked at the main house, and then went to the courtyard where he lived when he first entered Xie's mansion.Even though he has moved away for a long time, Xie Ze'an still likes to stay here occasionally, he sits in the middle of the study and thinks quietly.

After a long time, Xie Dalang who was hiding in the dark finally couldn't bear to show up.

Xie Ze'an looked up at him, but said nothing.

He was thinking about Zhao Chongzhao and Princess Yanning.If he hadn't noticed Zhao Chongzhao's thoughts, he wouldn't have noticed Princess Yan Ning's abnormality.

Xie Ze settled down for a while, didn't avoid Xie Dalang, and called Dai Shi in directly: "Yan Ning came back from the East Palace that day, did he go somewhere else?"

Dai Shi was slightly surprised, and said cautiously: "Your Highness has gone to the residence of the Minister of Rites."

Dai Shi is a smart person, and he can understand what this means when he thinks about it. The desire of the government and the public to find a wife for Zhao Chongzhao was aroused by the memorial from the Minister of Rites!

Xie Zean nodded.

Dai Shi added: "Your Highness entered the palace last night."

Xie Zhe'an said, "I see." He ordered, "If something like this happens in the future, please tell me right away."

Xie Ze'an had just finished meeting Yao Dingyan, and from Yao Dingyan's words, it was easy to deduce what Princess Yan Ning was talking about when she met Zhao Ying.Zhao Yingben had the idea of ​​letting him become an official. As soon as Princess Yan Ning asked for it, Zhao Ying naturally readily agreed. That's why Yao Dingyan said that to him today.

Xie Ze'an asked Dai Shi to retreat, and fell silent again.

Originally thinking of a husband and wife, there is no need to think too much, but I didn't expect that although Princess Yan Ning married him, she was still the princess who thought far more than ordinary people.

Knowing that Zhao Chongzhao had that kind of thought for him, but he didn't discuss it with him. He only wanted to marry Zhao Chongzhao a wife and at the same time let him test his family background and stay away from the capital.If Uncle Guo hadn't pointed it out, I'm afraid he had always mistakenly thought that Zhao Chongzhao liked Qin Ruliu, and foolishly "fighted" for Zhao Chongzhao.

When he helps Zhao Chongzhao overcome all difficulties and remove all obstacles, no one can restrict Zhao Chongzhao anymore...

What will that look like?

Who can control the situation at that time?

Such a brother and sister love each other deeply, even the husband can be left to the elder brother.

But although he felt sorry for her frailty, he didn't want to pay the entire Xie family to the royal family, and he didn't want to be that person who brought disaster to the country.

Xie Ze'an reached out and smashed the teacup on the table.

Shards pierced flesh.

Blood gushed.

Xie Dalang was taken aback.

He frowned and helped Xie Ze'an bandage.

Xie Ze'an said: "Isn't it just the imperial examination? I will take the exam if I am asked. Then we will find a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, become a small official, earn a little money, and forget about these bad things in the capital." He looked up at Xie Dalang, " Dalang, do you want to go together?"

Xie Dalang frowned and looked at him.

Xie Ze'an said: "Don't worry, I'm fine." He looked at the blood-stained white cloth in his hand, "I'm just disappointed with this place in the capital, it's good to go somewhere else."

Xie Dalang wrote: "I'll go, I'll go wherever you go."

Xie Ze'an said: "Success, then we will go somewhere to play together."
