Give you a spring

Ping Wei guessed right, Emperor Chong really wanted the second prince Xie Lianzheng to come to hold this year's literary exam, and when the court ended early today, Eunuch Tang asked Lianzheng to stay, saying that His Majesty had something to talk to him about.

Emperor Chong got up late today as usual, and almost missed the morning court. He ordered the imperial dining room to make some snacks and send them to the back of the hall, so that he could have a full meal immediately after the morning court.So Xie Lianzheng stood in front of the main hall, while Emperor Chong sat in the back and tasted every basket of dim sum brought over. He waited until he was full before standing up, looking at Eunuch Tang beside him, "How long has Lian Zheng been waiting in front?"

"Not half an hour."

"Well," Chongdi walked to the front of the hall, Xie Lianzheng knelt down and saluted to him, "Father Emperor."

There was no reason for these two words to remind Chongdi that a certain new prince had never called himself that way so far, so he glanced at Lian Zheng who was kneeling in the middle, "Get up."

"Yes."

"I asked you to come here today to talk about the Wenkao. The palace exam will be in five days. Have you heard about it?" Emperor Chong didn't sit on the dragon chair. So supportive.

"I heard," Xie Lianzheng replied.

"In the past, I asked your elder brother to do it, but this year it should be changed. If I let you go, can you do it well?" Emperor Chong looked at him intriguingly, paused and said, "It's still your new one. Brother, Xie Xu?"

"Ping Wei has just entered the palace, so he may not know much about the process of the palace examination. The palace examination has always been one of the most important things in our country. If Ping Wei is allowed to do it, there may be problems," Lian Zheng said bluntly, "My son I would like to preside over this palace test."

Emperor Chong smiled lightly, "In fact, the Ministry of Rites has almost prepared most of the things, and the candidates for the examiners have also come out. You just need to think about the questions for this palace exam."

"I understand," Lian Zheng said.

"Go ahead," Emperor Chong looked down on his son from the high platform, "don't let me down like your elder brother."

The second half of the sentence seemed to have an unusual taste, Xie Lianzheng froze, subconsciously raised his head to look at Chongdi, although the other party was smiling, but his eyes were a little cold, Lianzhen subconsciously said, "Brother, he..."

"Last night, Xie Xu and Qi Zheng arrested Shi Qianlin, Shi Zongxi's son, at the gate of the city. Didn't you hear about this?" Emperor Chong asked indifferently.

"I've heard, but does this matter have anything to do with elder brother?" Xie Lianzheng asked, not knowing why Emperor Chong suddenly brought up this matter, and pretended to be stupid.

"I don't know if this has anything to do with him," Emperor Chong looked at the people under his eyes complicatedly, and said, "Or, I haven't decided whether this matter has anything to do with him."

"..." These words were a little frightening, Lian Zheng's heart tightened, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet the other party's eyes.

Emperor Chong waved at him, "Okay, you go back and prepare the exam questions, remember not to leak the questions in private."

"Yes," Xie Lianzheng retreated in response, but he was a little suspicious in his heart—what does His Majesty's last sentence mean? Could it be that Xie Shi had done something in the palace examination?

He Zhou and Pingwei didn't return to the other courtyard until Youshi, and the kitchen was not ready for dinner, so Pingwei took out the snacks packed from Yuzhailou, called all the servants over, and asked them if they wanted to eat.

"They're all delicious, try them out," Ping Wei put boxes of snacks on the table, and then took out the chopsticks and handed them to everyone. No one dared to pick them up, so he grabbed the person next to him. He forced his hand into his hand, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry about me too much, I brought it back to share with you, try it, it's really good, especially the shrimp dumpling."

When it comes to eating, he is really excited and chatters endlessly.

He Zhou stood at the back and looked at the stiff servants, and at his family, the corners of his mouth were still raised.

"You should be tough and order them," he said casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed a servant on the opposite side shrank back, so he turned around and said, "What nonsense. Don't pay attention to him, you eat first." I'm making trouble, right?"

"Don't dare," He Zhou grabbed his hand, wanting to kiss the back of it, Ping slightly pulled it out, and said, "What are you doing, you want to kiss me while messing around with me."

"Isn't this trying to please you?" He Zhou smiled and wanted to catch him again. Ping Wei put his hands behind his back and took a step back. He Zhou stood up and wanted to catch him. The two played around for a while until Ping Wei Wei Wei found that the servants next to her were almost out of breath, so she stopped and dragged He Zhou to the backyard.

The two sat on the stone bench and looked up at the pink sky. In the evening, the clouds were very beautiful.

Pingwei suddenly remembered Li Huanyi who was sitting here basking in the sun yesterday, and couldn't help asking softly, "What do you think Huanyi will be doing now?"

He Zhou didn't answer, he turned his head to look at the other party for a while, and said in a neutral manner, "I found that you are very interested in this girl, and you have only known each other for only three days."

"..." Ping Wei was helpless, "How can I not feel sorry for her when she encounters such a thing, and she will be exiled because of it later."

"Then let's find some people to hijack the prison van, and then ask Qi Zheng to hide it, wouldn't it be good?" He Zhou suggested again the same way as in the morning.

Ping Wei ignored him, and after a silent meeting, he said, "I want to go to the palace and tell Emperor Chong about this through the palace examination in a few days, and beg him to forgive Huanyi."

"What's the reason for helping?"

"I haven't figured it out yet," Ping Wei answered honestly, sighing, "If something troublesome happens next, I'll be able to help him solve it."

"Wait a minute," He Zhou said, "You are so lucky, you will definitely get what you want."

"Well, I hope." Ping Wei smiled slightly.

The two sat in the backyard for a while, and Uncle Xu came over and said that dinner was ready, and he went back to his room to rest after eating.
