During the first period when Meng Jinling left, Zhao Pingzhen thought of him wholeheartedly.Once a person is far away, others will only remember his good, and those bad things will become good.But after a long time, that strong obsession has turned into a faint yearning. Apart from looking forward to his early return, how should I live my life?

After Meng Jinling left, Zhao Pingzhen's life became more and more boring, so he began to recall how he lived without Meng Jinling in the past.At this thought, Qin Xiaolou came to mind.So the fifth prince went to the Hanlin Academy - since Qin Xiaolou complained of illness in the court hall and asked to resign and return to his hometown, the emperor transferred him back to the Imperial Academy.

As good as it gets, when Zhao Pingzhen came to the Hanlin Academy, he encountered an interesting scene, so he didn't show up right away, but found a hidden place to watch the play.

The three officials were yelling and foaming around Qin Xiaolou, and some of them would even push Qin Xiaolou when they were excited.From their words, Zhao Pingzhen deduced that the cause of the incident was that Qin Xiaolou made a mistake in his office.

Qian Hanlin had a heartbroken expression on his face: "Master Qin, you didn't show up for half a year, and you did something wrong when you showed up! This urgent order is delayed for an hour in your hands, and the colleagues of the entire Imperial Academy will be implicated by you!"

Qin Xiaolou lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Wang Hanlin's temper became even more irritable, and he directly shoved Qin Xiaolou: "Who are you showing your cold and noble appearance! The Imperial Academy is a place for scholars, and there is no one in the whole capital who doesn't know who you are !"

Ding Hanlin stamped his feet in grief: "Qin Xiaolou, Qin Xiaolou!"

Qin Xiaolou's expression was exhausted, and he let out a long breath: "I will go to the emperor to plead guilty, and I will not implicate the adults."

Zhao Pingzhen twirled the fan in his hand, and was about to see what the three Hanlins would do, when his eyes flickered, he suddenly noticed Gu Xiaojun who was standing not far away.

Gu Xiaojun had obviously been standing nearby for a long time, and he had listened to the conversations of several people.He wanted to step forward several times, but he still hesitated.Zhao Pingzhen could see that maybe he also felt that Qin Xiaolou should be taught a lesson, besides, he had lost such a big face with Qin Xiaolou before, it would be too self-degrading to defend him now.But Zhao Pingzhen could also tell that Gu Xiaojun couldn't take it anymore.

Seeing that Gu Xiaojun couldn't bear to take the first step towards those people, Zhao Pingzhen quickly walked out from the hiding place, before the people arrived, the voice came first: "What are you talking about?"

The three Hanlins were taken aback by the sudden appearance of the fifth prince, and it took a long time before they remembered to kneel down and salute: "I will see the fifth prince."

Qin Xiaolou was also stunned for a while, then slowly knelt down.

Zhao Pingzhen sneered, opened the fan, and fanned it unhurriedly: "Scholar Gu, I have something to discuss with you in the palace, you go to the front hall and wait."

Gu Xiaojun had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

When Gu Xiaojun walked not far away, Zhao Pingzhen said loudly in a voice just enough for him to hear: "I already know about Qin Xiaolou's mistakes! I have my own conclusion on this matter, but you are pushing and shoving in the Imperial Academy." What does it look like! Wang Hanlin, what do you mean by what you just said? Why doesn’t I know what kind of guy Qin Xiaolou is?!”

He made it clear that he was defending Qin Xiaolou, how could the three academicians argue with his fifth prince?Wang Hanlin opened his mouth to say something, but Ding Hanlin pulled his sleeves to stop him.

Zhao Pingzhen squinted at Gu Xiao Jun's back, seeing him staying for a while, he still left with his head down.

Seeing Gu Xiaojun's dejected look, Zhao Pingzhen felt very unhappy - he just couldn't see Gu Xiaojun being kind to Qin Xiaolou.As for the reason, he couldn't explain it himself.

After ordering the three Hanlins to leave, Zhao Pingzhen didn't let Qin Xiaolou, who was kneeling on the ground, stand up, and stepped forward to lift his chin with a fan.

Qin Xiaolou smiled indifferently, and the sparkle in his eyes was even better than before, which almost made Zhao Pingzhen lose his mind for a moment: "Your Highness Fifth, long time no see."

Zhao Pingzhen sneered: "Two years ago, Gu Xiaojun stood outside your door for more than ten nights, but you didn't even open the door for him. Now you hooked up with him again?"

Qin Xiaolou said: "Really? I don't remember what happened two years ago. But I will never shut His Highness out."

Zhao Pingzhen frowned, not concealing his disgust: "I really don't understand, how can you be so lowly? Now that you have come to this point, it can be said to be retribution."

Qin Xiaolou was as calm as he was two years ago, nothing could make him angry.Even, compared to two years ago, he is now more relaxed.He smiled slightly, and the water in his eyes flickered slightly: "Perhaps the lower official was blind at the beginning and offended His Highness the Fifth Highness. This is the retribution given to the lower official by the heavens."

Of course, Qin Xiaolou never ran into Zhao Pingzhen.It's just that this word sounds much more pleasing to His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince than "abandon".

Zhao Pingzhen stared at him moodily for a while, then slowly retracted the fan against his chin: "I thought you were a lot stupid in the past two years, but I never thought that you are still so smart."

Qin Xiaolou said: "Thank you Fifth Prince for your compliment."

Zhao Pingzhen turned around and took two steps, then stopped suddenly, turned his back to him and said, "Instead of climbing around like this, you might as well find a reliable branch."

Qin Xiaolou said: "I only wish to serve His Highness the Fifth Highness."

Zhao Pingzhen laughed with a "ha": "Great, then I will be your branch. Only this time, you have to know how to please me better than two years ago." Qin Xiaolou said: "Xiaguan Remember."

Zhao Pingzhen suddenly felt his mood clear up.Since Meng Jinling left, Zhao Pingzhen has never been as happy as he is today.He thought, Qin Xiaolou is really an interesting plaything. Although he was not very obedient in the best two years of his age, it is still worth spending some time to have fun.

When Zhao Pingzhen arrived at the front hall, Gu Xiaojun was waiting for him obediently.

Zhao Pingzhen lifted the hem of his clothes, sat down on the chair imposingly, and said calmly, "What's going on?"

Gu Xiaojun said: "Qin Hanlin mixed an urgent edict to be drafted into the ordinary edict, and delayed it for more than an hour."

This matter can be big or small, Zhao Pingzhen thought for a while, and felt that he could suppress this matter.He said: "Qin Xiaolou has been an official for several years, how could he make such a mistake?"

Gu Xiaojun sighed: "Ever since he...since he recovered from a serious illness, he has been a little...absent." The so-called recovery from a serious illness means that Han Xuzhi left.

Zhao Pingzhen couldn't help frowning.In fact, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this matter was not that simple. Everyone in the Imperial Academy knew that Qin Xiaolou was absent-minded, so why did he have to draft the urgent edict?Even if it was handed over to him, why no one reminded it, and it was not discovered until it was delayed for more than an hour?Apparently, someone in the Imperial Academy had a grudge against Qin Xiaolou and deliberately wanted to make him unlucky.

Zhao Pingzhen originally wanted to get some clues from Gu Xiaojun's mouth to deduce who the mastermind behind this scene was, but he thought about it, he didn't need to do this for Qin Xiaolou, so he said: "I know. Send an edict to this Palace, and this Palace will resolve this matter.”

When he finished dealing with everything and walked out of the Imperial Academy, he suddenly found that the sky was very blue and the clouds were very white. It turned out that the sky was so wide.It's just that they don't know how Meng Jinling is doing under the same sky.

This year, Zhao Pingzhen was just 21 years old, while Qin Xiaolou was only [-] years old.
