Splendid Palace.

"Your Highness..."

"Based on the current situation, the reputation of the Third Emperor's grandson has gradually surpassed yours. Perhaps it won't be long before His Majesty decides to entrust him with the title of grandson."

"Wei Chen found out that the reason why the name of the most talented scholar in Kyoto resounded throughout Kyoto overnight, and even gradually spread outside Kyoto, was largely due to the secret promotion of the Hanlin Academy."

"And there is probably only one person in the entire court who can make the Hanlin Academy do this."

Huang Zicheng looked at Zhu Yunwen with a wry smile, hesitated for a moment, bowed his hands, and said meaningfully.

He didn't dare to speak too clearly, firstly because he was worried about irritating Zhu Yunwen, and secondly because the matter itself couldn't be said too straightforwardly.

Who dares to talk behind my back about going on a pilgrimage? !

"It seems that Grandpa Huang really treats him as the future prince."

"It's just that I didn't expect that his literary talent is indeed somewhat original and different. As far as I know him, he has never been interested in any ancient poems and books since he was a child, and he has never even mentioned it in front of me. Pen!"

"Why can such a person who has no ideas and only knows how to have fun suddenly write such a good book?!"

"So stunning, even I am ashamed!"

Zhu Yunwen frowned and murmured to himself. The expression on his face changed countless ways in an instant.

"So I hope that Your Highness will make an early decision and stop being soft-hearted. Today's Third Emperor's grandson is no longer the Third Emperor's grandson in the past. From the moment he appeared in His Majesty's field of vision in the most unexpected way, he has won His Majesty's favor. favor."

"In less than a month, he went from being a despised royal dandy to being the most talented man in Kyoto, from being betrothed to him by His Majesty the daughter of Xiao Huan, the commander of the military guards, to being awarded the same title as a prince, and then to enrolling in the Imperial College. Recently, not only have the Yulin Guards been sent to guard the Wandering Palace, but also the Jinyi Guards have been specially assigned to provide personal protection, which is enough to prove His Majesty’s attitude!”

"If His Highness still remembers the brotherly love and cannot bear to fight back, it won't be long before he will completely replace your position in His Majesty's heart! Hasn't Your Highness noticed that His Majesty has hardly summoned you in the past month? But I heard that he often goes to the Wandering Palace."

Huang Zicheng mustered up his courage and said seriously.

After listening to Huang Zicheng's words, Zhu Yunwen suddenly raised his head and looked at Huang Zicheng, his eyes were cold and his face was gloomy, as if there was a strong unknown fire in his heart that was about to explode.

Huang Zicheng bowed and did not back down at all. At this point, he knew that if he did not wake up the emperor's grandson in front of him, his official career might also undergo earth-shaking changes.

He is not willing to give in, and he believes that the emperor's grandson in front of him will not be willing to give in either!

Now that there is a chance to reach that position, who would give up easily? !

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. If my guess is correct, Grandpa Huang will make a decision before the Mid-Autumn Festival at the latest. By then, it will be clear whether he or I will be the grandson."

"Notify us and let our people be prepared. Once the emperor decides to make him the grandson, we must do our best to stop him! If the position of grandson still belongs to me, then use all the connections at our disposal and do everything possible to make him the grandson. He returned to his original form!”

"But remember, just let him go back to the gutter where he was supposed to go and continue his dark life for the rest of his life. Don't hurt or endanger his life!"

Zhu Yunwen was deep in thought, and said something coldly, a trace of cruelty that he had never seen before flashed between his brows.

"Yes!"

Huang Zicheng bowed his hands and replied respectfully. Seeing the cruelty that he had never seen before, his scalp couldn't help but feel numb.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yunwen suddenly stood up slowly and walked directly outside.

"Where are you going, Your Highness?"

Huang Zicheng was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly.

"Since he is injured, I, as the elder brother, should naturally go and visit him."

Zhu Yunwen said coldly, and he had already walked out of the hall.

Huang Zicheng froze on the spot, looking at Zhu Yunwen's firm back, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

...

Xiao Mansion.

In the backyard room, Xiao Ling'er was lying on the table, holding a copy of "The Great Ming Dynasty" in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed and her face full of confusion.

"Is this really the work of that dandy?"

Xiao Ling'er said with some disbelief that she could not connect the writing of a book with a despicable and shameless pervert.

"Miss, it's absolutely true. Everyone outside is spreading the word now, and this book was produced and published under the supervision of the Hanlin Academy. He is now the number one talented man in Kyoto, and all the girls in the city who are waiting for marriage are very much in pursuit of him, and they are vying to marry him. he."

Maid Min'er nodded quickly and said seriously.

"Tsk, a smelly and hard stone can actually become a delicious pastry!"

Xiao Ling'er curled her lips and said with some disdain.

But even though he said this, there was a strange and curious look in his eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

At this moment, a dissatisfied shout came, and Xiao Huan appeared at the door with his hands behind his back.

"Father."

Xiao Linger was stunned for a moment, hurriedly said hello, and hid the book behind her in a panic.

The maid Min'er shrank her neck, bowed, and stepped aside respectfully.

"No need to hide it, my father has seen it a long time ago."

A snicker flashed across Xiao Huan's lips, he slowly walked into the room and said in a deep voice.

Xiao Ling'er coughed awkwardly and had no choice but to take out the book, but then placed it on the chair and sat on it directly.

"You have read a lot of books since you were a child. Now that you have read them, what do you think of his literary talent?"

Xiao Huan came closer, looked at her daughter, and asked seriously.

"not so good!"

Xiao Ling'er curled her lips and said with some disdain.

"really?!"

"No lies!"

Xiao Huan's face darkened and he asked dissatisfiedly.

"Very...very good!"

"My daughter is ashamed of herself."

Xiao Linger frowned and said reluctantly.

Hearing her daughter's answer, Xiao Huan couldn't help but smile.

"It's not just you who feel ashamed. As soon as this book came out, I don't know how many talented people in Kyoto were willing to be inferior to it. They couldn't wait to study hard day and night to learn its essence."

"Even His Majesty praised it more than once during the morning court. The old men in the Hanlin Academy have even begun to urge Your Majesty to let the three emperors and grandsons hurry up and finish the second half of the book."

Xiao Huan said with a smile on his face while sitting opposite his daughter, and his words were full of pride.

"You didn't write it, so why are you so proud of it?"

Xiao Linger rolled her eyes and said jokingly.

"Even if it wasn't written for my father, since you are already engaged to the Third Emperor's grandson, it must have something to do with being your father!"

"Fortunately, my father had the foresight and took one step in advance, otherwise the people seeking marriage would have already crossed the threshold of the Liangli Palace! Do you know how many courtiers are vying to marry their daughters and granddaughters to the grandsons of the Third Emperor? "

Xiao Huan snorted lightly, the expression on his face became more and more proud, and he was glad that he had made the right decision at that time.

"Who knows if he asked someone else to write it? Maybe he is just Li Daitao. Unless he writes the second half, my daughter will obey him!"

Xiao Ling'er still said stubbornly, but a certain heartstring in her heart had been unknowingly plucked by something.

"Then just wait and see. Anyway, it will be a long time before you two fulfill your engagement. I'm afraid that even if your father doesn't agree, you will be eager to leave the palace as soon as possible."

"There are some things that it's hard for a father to say too much. I can only tell you that today's Third Emperor's grandson is no longer the Third Emperor's grandson in the past. Your Majesty has high expectations for him!"

Xiao Huan smiled, suddenly looked at Xiao Ling'er seriously, and gave a serious reminder.

After listening to Xiao Huan's words, Xiao Ling'er was stunned for a moment, hesitantly looking at her father who had already stood up and left, and gradually fell into deep thought.

...

Wandering Palace.

Front hall.

"Second brother, please sit down."

Knowing that Zhu Yunwen came to the door, Zhu Yunxi personally greeted him, introduced Zhu Yunwen into the front hall, and sat opposite him.

Accompanying him was Li Jinglong.

However, Zhu Yunxi's attention was not on Li Jinglong. This was the first time the three of them had met since the last conflict in the Splendid Palace.

But Zhu Yunxi vaguely noticed that there seemed to be something strange in Zhu Yunwen's speech and behavior today...
