admiration

Emperor Hongzhi on the stage had been paying attention to the movements here, and seeing that his second prince finally stopped being cold-faced, and had a pleasant conversation with the champion, he nodded in satisfaction.

Zhu Qiming didn't miss the action of the two of them either. He gritted his teeth and watched for a while, took the wine glass and walked over, and said to Xiao Zhizhi: "Xiao Zhuangyuan, I have heard about your name for a long time, I wonder if you are interested in gathering at the mansion?"

Xiao Zhijin got up, returned a glass of wine, his face showed embarrassment, his eyes signaled Mo Yanchi, Zhu Qiming understood, laughed loudly, and walked away.

After a while, the servant next to Zhu Qiming ran over, whispered something to Xiao Zhijin, Xiao Zhijin nodded, and continued drinking happily as if nothing had happened.

Zhu Qiming intended to win over Xiao Zhijin, but Mo Yanchi didn't stop him, instead he reminded: "The eldest prince is insidious, if you plan to do things with him, you need to be more careful."

"I know." Xiao Zhi said with a smile, "You are not afraid that I will go and conspire with the eldest prince and bring harm to you."

"I'm afraid, but I don't have anything worthy of your harm. On the contrary, you have a handle in my hands. You should be afraid of me." A triumphant look after successfully teasing someone.

Xiao Zhi tried his best to raise his hand to rub the man's head, but suddenly realized that it was at the Luming Banquet, so he could bear it.

Xiao Zhizhi's biggest clue was Wei Ling's identity as the pro-lord, and he handed it over to Mo Yichi himself.In fact, when they first met Mo Yanchi, both Xing Yan and Jiang Wan persuaded him not to reveal his identity prematurely. After all, Mo Yanchi's position has not been confirmed. A lot of trouble.

It's just that this person is used to doing things in his own way, after listening to the persuasion of the two, he nodded in agreement on the surface, turned around and even handed over Du Ming.

Xing Yan is now loyal to Xiao Zhijin, without the consent of the new master, he cannot contact the old master, otherwise he will probably cry every three days and make trouble every five days, which shows that life is not easy.

This was the only time Xiao Zhijin made such a reckless decision. Fortunately, Mo Yanchi did not let him down.

The Luming Banquet ended without any surprises. Since Yijia and the three came from afar, Emperor Hongzhi gave them three mansions to live in.

The people in the palace were used to serving Emperor Hongzhi, and they were all as clever as a human being. Before Emperor Hongzhi made an order, he arranged for people to clean up the mansion so that the three of them could move in as soon as the Luming Banquet was over.

The three of them thanked them, said a few words to the curtain officials and left.After walking out of the door, the servant beside Zhu Qiming ran to Xiao Zhijin, and said with a smile: "Young Master Xiao, His Highness is waiting for you over there, please go this way."

"Thank you." Xiao Zhijin explained a few words to Jiang Wan who was walking side by side, and then followed them away.

Jiang Wan stared at Zhu Qiming's carriage parked not far away, and saw that the man was lifting the curtain to look this way, she couldn't help smiling, which was full of resentment and resentment.

Mo Yanchi walked slowly, seeing her expression in his eyes, he followed Jiang Wan's line of sight suspiciously, and found that the person she was staring at was Xiao Zhijin, he frowned displeased, thoughtfully After watching for a while, he didn't lift his feet until Zhu Qiming's carriage drove away.

Xiao Zhijin got into Zhu Qiming's carriage at the gate of Xingyuan, the purpose was self-evident, the passing officials saw it, and couldn't help but sigh and feel sorry for Mo Yichi.

On the carriage, Xiao Zhijin finished his salute, and before he could sit down properly, Zhu Qiming couldn't wait to say: "Young Master Xiao, I heard that you were ill when you first entered Beijing, are you feeling better now?"

"Thanks to His Highness's concern, the grassroots are just not acclimatized, so it doesn't matter." Xiao Zhijin cupped his hands.

"It's good that it's fine. Two days ago, the king specially asked the emperor for the papers written by Mr. Xiao during the palace examination. After studying it carefully, he learned a lot. However, there are still a few points that I don't understand, so I asked Mr. Xiao for advice. You won't mind, sir?"

Without further ado, Zhu Qiming asked someone to take Xiao Zhijin to the carriage. Now that this question was just passing the show, Xiao Zhijin just refused, and he must have another excuse to achieve his goal.

Xiao Zhijin was too lazy to talk to him, so he nodded and said: "I dare not, Your Highness is very kind, but the grassroots are not respectful."

Zhu Qiming smiled and said: "It's so good, the paper is at the house, and it's almost here, Young Master Xiao can rest for a while."

"Okay." As soon as Xiao Zhijin finished speaking, he found a more comfortable place, leaned against the car window, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Zhu Qiming was dumbfounded, but he had no words to refute, telling Xiao Zhijin to rest was just a polite word, but Xiao Zhijin took it seriously and fell asleep in front of him.

The veins on his forehead were twitching, and the words he had prepared were in vain, but if he wanted to take this person under his command, he had to be patient and respectful.

No one dared to stop the First Prince's carriage, and the coachman drove the carriage to the First Prince's mansion not long after. Seeing that the man was still asleep, Zhu Qiming stretched out his hand to wake him up, and said, "Mr. Xiao, we're here."

Xiao Zhijin was actually awake the whole time, he didn't want to talk too much with Zhu Qiming, so he followed his words and "rested". Chi asked, "Is this the Great Prince's Mansion?"

"Yes."

Concubine Jing was deeply loved by Emperor Hongzhi, and with the support of her powerful mother's family, no one dared to show embarrassment to him. Therefore, when Zhu Qiming left the palace to build a mansion, the House of Internal Affairs put in all of their thought and did not dare The negligence is due to the use of first-class materials in the palace, making the First Prince's Mansion the most luxurious among the many princes' mansions.

Seeing Xiao Zhijin's slightly surprised expression, Zhu Qiming explained: "Originally, the king wanted my father to give me a mansion at will, as long as I can live in it, but my father said that as the eldest son, he should set an example, and the place to live should not be sloppy. This is what was given here."

When he said this, firstly, he wanted to show Emperor Hongzhi's love for him, and secondly, he also got rid of the suspicion of extravagance, and put on a frugal and virtuous appearance.

Xiao Zhijin didn't point it out, and followed his words, "Your Highness is clean and honest, and the grassroots admire him."

Zhu Qiming waved his hands to show he didn't care, and led the people into the mansion.Xu Shi didn't know Xiao Zhijin's choice yet, he didn't take people to the study where he usually discusses affairs, but entertained people in the lobby.

Along the way, Zhu Qiming was talking to Xiao Zhijin about the situation in Beijing, showing off his own advantages in everything he said, but he didn't mean to win him over.

Zhu Qiming knew that there was no need to say something too clearly, just point it out.

Xiao Zhijin pretended to be a newcomer to the court and had no intentions, just thinking that he was analyzing with himself, and he never went in the direction Zhu Qiming expected.

Zhu Qiming was not in a hurry, instead he asked about other things: "Father said this morning that you and your younger brother used to be classmates, what was he like before?"

"The second prince treats people with sincerity, and everyone in the village likes him." Xiao Zhijin deliberately exposed his flaws, showing his disgust for Mo Yichi.

Zhu Qiming saw it in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I don't believe this. The emperor was very noisy when he first entered the palace, and he doesn't look like a person who can take care of others."

"The second prince is a prince, and the grassroots... dare not discuss it." Xiao Zhi hesitated, half-truth and half-false.

"It's okay, I'm just asking casually, you don't need to say anything."

After some probing, Zhu Qiming was still not completely sure that he could win over Xiao Zhijin, but he was also sure that Mo Yichi couldn't win over.

Emperor Hongzhi said that the road to seeking talents is extremely difficult. For the sake of big plans, Liu Bei can still visit the thatched cottage to ask Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain, and so can Zhu Qiming.

They chatted for a while, watching the setting sun crumbling, Zhu Qiming originally wanted to keep him for dinner, but Xiao Zhijin insisted on going back, saying that he wanted to see how the Zhuangyuan Mansion was.

He was too resolute, and Zhu Qiming didn't stop him anymore, and sent him away himself.

When the carriage disappeared at the corner of the street, Zhu Qiming summoned the servant and said, "Tomorrow, news will be released that Xiao Zhuangyuan and this king hit it off right away, and they talked until late at night and still haven't rested."

When the rumors come together tomorrow, everyone will know that Xiao Zhijin is being drawn over by Zhu Qiming, no matter how deep the friendship between classmates is, it may collapse.Xiao Zhijin, who is not trusted, is naturally the only one he can rely on.

The Zhuangyuan Mansion was built near the outskirts of Beijing, so when Xiao Zhijin arrived there, it would be an hour later.

The people in the mansion didn't see the new master, so they didn't dare to rest without permission, they all stood guard at the door, waiting for Xiao Zhijin to arrive.

Xiao Zhi got out of the carriage, and the servants and maidservants standing at the door hurried forward to meet the new master.

It was already very late at night, so Xiao Zhijin didn't leave anyone to reprimand him, and asked the boy standing at the front to take him to the bedroom to rest, and the rest of them spontaneously dispersed.

The servant brought Xiao Zhijin to the back garden, he wanted to serve him to sleep, but he didn't want to be stopped by Xiao Zhijin before his hands touched the door, Xiao Zhijin said: "You step back, you don't need to wait on him anymore."

"Yes." The boy was already very sleepy, but when he heard Xiao Zhijin say that, his face beamed with joy, and he left without saying a word.

Xiao Zhijin stood in front of the door, listening carefully to the movements of the people in the room.Just when the boy was about to open the door, he heard some noise in the room, because he didn't know the identity of the person inside, he let the boy leave.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement from the people in the room. Xiao Zhijin raised his palm and swiped the door open, only to see Xing Yan who was eating snacks.A vein twitched on Xiao Zhijin's forehead, he gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you here?"

Knowing that he had stood at the door for a long time, Xing Yan purposely remained silent, but seeing him open the door now, he scolded, "You just opened the door like this, aren't you afraid of hidden weapons?"

"Which killer would come to my place for snacks?" Xiao Zhizhi asked.

"That's right." Xing Yan swallowed the mung bean cake in his hand, patted the scum in his palm, and then said what Zhu Qiming just said.

Xiao Zhijin thought for a moment, and said: "Let him talk, just save me trouble."

Zhu Qiming was carefully taught by Concubine Jing, and he has been in the palace for many years. Sometimes, although he is impulsive, he is not a kind person. If you want him to trust you, you have to follow his way.

Xiao Zhijin didn't intend to go on with Zhu Qiming all the time, it's just that he was new to the imperial court and everything was unstable, so using Zhu Qiming would allow him to get involved as soon as possible.

After hearing his plan, Xing Yan was quite suspicious, "If you are in contact with the first prince, will the second prince think too much about it?"

"I will explain this to him myself." Xiao Zhijin said.
