After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Two drawers of meat buns were served, and the aroma was so fragrant that Liu Yunxiang was so greedy that he drooled, so he started eating them together with the beggar.

The two of them talked while eating, as if they were old friends who had forgotten their years.

When he was talking excitedly, he looked up inadvertently and saw Lu Changan walking over. Liu Yunxiang was so frightened that he choked.

"belch……"

Jinyan helped Liu Yunxiang make a bowl of soup, "Girl, please eat slowly, you obviously ate too much this morning."

Liu Yunxiang calmed down and stood up to greet Lu Changan.

"Your Majesty, long time no see."

Lu Changan nodded, "I just saw it from a distance, and it turned out to be the third lady. Do you and this old man... know each other?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head hurriedly, "It's just a meal at the same table."

"I see you two seem to be having a good chat."

Liu Yunxiang asked Lu Changan to sit down and said: "This old man is well-informed and his conversation is humorous. Although we are not familiar with him, it is easy to chat with him."

Seeing Lu Changan sit down, the beggar got up and said, "I'm full, I won't disturb you two anymore."

Lu Changan was a little embarrassed, "Did I make you uncomfortable?"

"No, no, I'm full after this meal. I have to go get my next meal. I'm busy."

Liu Yunxiang said hurriedly: "You can take away a drawer of buns."

The beggar waved his hand, "Beggars must live in danger, otherwise they are not qualified."

This is nonsense, but the beggar doesn’t want it, so Chu Yi won’t embarrass him.

Liu Yunxiang secretly glanced at Lu Changan, and saw that his expression was as normal and he didn't seem to suspect anything, so he relaxed a little.

"Your Majesty, I haven't congratulated you for being the top scorer in high school. It's a pity that I can't drink, otherwise I would give you a few drinks."

Lu Changan smiled shyly, "I used the inkstone given to me by the third lady in the examination room."

"Then I also have a share of the credit?"

It was originally a joke, but Lu Changan nodded heavily, "Actually, when I first decided to join Enke, I didn't have much confidence, and I questioned whether my decision was right over and over again. Because of what the third lady said that night, I Made up my mind.”

"The prince has entered the Hanlin Academy, right?"

Lu Changan shook his head, "It's not the Hanlin Academy, but the Jingzhao Mansion."

Liu Yunxiang was puzzled. Generally, first-class candidates in the imperial examinations would enter the Hanlin Academy. Other Jinshi scholars with family backgrounds could also enter the Hanlin Academy, but their grades would vary. Entering the Hanlin Academy is, firstly, a status symbol. Bachelors of the Hanlin Academy are highly respected. Secondly, it is also a place to train civil servants for the imperial court. Those who come out from here can usually enter the court directly.

Jingzhao Mansion is not a fat job. Any yamen in the imperial court can outdo Jingzhao Mansion. Logically speaking, he is the number one scholar and the prince of Suping, so he shouldn't enter Jingzhao Mansion.

"The Hanlin Academy is responsible for drafting confidential edicts, and I am the prince of Suping. The emperor has always been wary of Suping's palace. My entry into the Hanlin Academy is like a thorn in the emperor's eye. The emperor can bear it, but this thorn is more serious. Terrified and uneasy. When my father found out that I had participated in Enke and won the top prize, he scolded me and then hurried into the palace to thank the emperor for his kindness and to reject the post of bachelor at the Hanlin Academy. The emperor expressed his gratitude to Prince Suping. Loyalty allowed me to enter Jingzhao Mansion."

Liu Yunxiang understood immediately, but he still felt aggrieved for Lu Changan.

"But rather than compiling documents, I prefer investigating and handling cases."

"Just relax."

There was nothing going on at the city gate all day. Yan Mu was half asleep and half awake when he saw the beggar coming back happily.

He turned around irritably, as if he didn't want to pay attention to him, but the beggar didn't notice and sat down next to him. He held it in for a while, but he couldn't hold it in anymore.

"The little lady who looks like a fairy today, is she your sweetheart, right?"

Yan Muteng sat up and said, "Want to be beaten?"

The beggar chuckled, "If it's not, it doesn't matter. If it is, you should cry."

"What do you mean?"

"I met that guy in Su Yuan at noon."

The beggar told Liu Yunxiang that he had asked him to pour water on Li Zhihe to ruin her blind date with Lu Changan.

"Lu Changan?"

"The two of us know each other very well."

Yan Mu frowned, Lu Changan and Liu Yunxiang couldn't get along, so how could they know each other? Moreover, if Liu Yunxiang ruined Lu Changan's blind date, anyone would suspect that she liked Lu Changan.

is it possible?

He pulled out the wine bottle from the pile of leaves nearby, opened the cork and took a sip, "Go and check the relationship between the two of them."

"Me?" The beggar's eyes widened, "I'm just a beggar..."

"You, a beggar, know Lu Changan? You, a beggar, dare to hit me? You, a beggar, know kung fu?"

"So who am I?"

Yan Mu snorted, "My adoptive father has seven godsons, and I am the seventh. I know all the other five brothers, but none of us have met the eldest brother."

"Then why do you think I'm the boss?"

"When you were a child, you followed your adoptive father on the streets. You asked for money from your adoptive father. When your adoptive father gave you copper coins, he made a shape on the table. That night when you met, I was in the carriage."

"My foster father said you were asleep."

"I pretended."

The beggar was speechless, this kid was so smart.

"Why haven't you pointed it out these days?"

"If you were a beggar, I would beat you up if I wanted to. But if you were my elder brother, I would have to restrain myself."

The beggar sighed again, this child is too bad. And in order to hide his identity, he restrained himself during fights, but this guy was a real fighter. He was beaten until his nose was bruised and swollen several times, and he could only show a little bit of kung fu to defend himself.

These beatings were in vain.

"My foster father asked me to protect you."

"I know."

"You...are you treating your elder brother who loves and protects you like this?"

The most hateful thing was that every time food was put out at the city gate, he would let him stare at it and would not feed it to stray dogs.

"You want me to investigate Liu Yunxiang and Lu Changan's affairs. Is this a public matter or a private matter?"

"Business."

"Do you want to be ashamed?"

Yan Mu snorted, raised his head and took a few more sips of wine. He pondered for a long time and then said, "Forget it, don't check."

"Why didn't you check again?"

"It's boring."

"She's not your woman?"

"If I live for one day, she will live for one day. But she told me that I won't live long."

The beggar sighed, "My foster father said you only wanted to die."

"Death is good, death is clean."

No one can kill him but himself.

The beggar sighed, because of this, they couldn't save him.

He sat down next to him, took the wine bottle from Yan Mu's hand, and took a big sip.

"Do you know how many secret guards there are around here?"

"A lot."

"So no one can kill you, and you can let your guard down and get drunk."

Yan Mu grabbed the wine bottle, took a sip, and couldn't help but ask again: "Do you think I am more handsome or Lu Changan is more handsome?"

"what?"

"How could she fall in love with Lu Changan?"

The beggar's mind changed and he said: "Then Lu Changan is not as handsome as you, but he is more attentive, gentler than you, and treats Liu Yunxiang better than you. If I were a woman, I would also like her. And he is also capable. He is a young master from a noble family and is a handsome champion. Lang, you can make a woman dizzy by writing a sour poem. From the look in his eyes, he must also like Liu Yunxiang. Maybe after your death, Liu Yunxiang will marry him after leaving the Hou Mansion. By then, your Your son will call Lu Changan daddy, and your woman will warm Lu Changan’s bed."

"I want to crawl out of my fucking coffin before I'm even dead."
