Come on, Your Highness

There were no surprises in the examination, He Xichao's name was at the top of the list.

At this point, there is no suspense for him to win the third place.

Inside the Jinluan Hall, all the examiners were waiting to read the hall examination papers, and presented the top three marks to the emperor, without exception, He Xichao's name was the first.

There was no dispute about the number one scholar, but the second place and Tanhua had some discussions. In the end, the top three in this subject stood in front of the Golden Palace, and were rewarded by the emperor one by one, and awarded Jinshi and rank.

It is said that the christmas were named Erjia to be a Jinshi, and the Sanjia was given to be a Jinshi.

Then the number one scholar led all Jinshi to thank the emperor for his kindness, and went out of the Golden Palace to Longmen to check the imperial list.

There, Shuntian Fu Yin waited, arranging flowers for the champion, wearing red silk, and then riding a handsome horse given by the imperial court, cheering and hugging, opening the way with flags and drums, and returning home amidst the cheers all the way.

This is the champion parade that is familiar to later generations.

Both sides of the street were guarded by imperial guards, and people on both sides crowded to look at the horse.

This year's top three are all young and handsome, with outstanding looks, but when they see the handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, and a face like a jade crown, there is a burst of joy.

Many bold girls and young daughter-in-laws screamed and threw flowers and silk handkerchiefs that had been prepared in their hands to the Zhuangyuan Lang in an endless stream.

At this time, she usually blushes when she sees a foreigner, but now she is not reserved and shy. On the contrary, He Xichao is wearing red flowers on her head and red silk on her chest. She is a little embarrassed to be dressed so down-to-earth.

However, he is fair and young, and has an excellent appearance. Not only is he not funny under the red flowers and red silk, but it makes him look lively and festive.

Not only the girls like this appearance, even the elderly wives and grandmas will melt their hearts when they see it, wishing they could grab it and take it home on the spot.

The appearance of the second place Tanhua was also upright, but under the background of He Xichao, few people cared about it. The reason why the flowers fell on her body was because the common people couldn't aim properly, so they got a point of favor.

It is said that the second place in the list is talented, and the third place is good-looking, and it is a green leaf after all.

But now, the No. [-] scholar in this department has both talent and appearance, and is still very young. He can eat all kinds of men, women, and children, and there is nothing wrong with them at all.

The two looked at each other and could only smile wryly.

Xiao Hong specially ordered people to find a restaurant with the best view on the road that must be walked in the street, and booked a wing room.

As soon as the Golden Palace Biography was over, he rushed out of the palace and rushed to the restaurant at high speed.

Because the number one scholar paraded through the streets, the most direct road was blocked, so he had to take a long way to get there.

When he arrived at the restaurant in a hurry, and the suona horn was still far away, he slowly climbed the stairs panting.

"Hey, big brother!"

Suddenly there was a shout from behind, Xiao Hong turned his head to look, but it was Prince Pingjun who was behind him, and many people followed him.

"It's you." Xiao Hong wiped the sweat off his face, looked behind Xiao Ke, and found that it was the female relatives of Pingjun Prince's Mansion, including his two cousins, "This is..."

"Second Sister and Third Sister must come to watch the No. [-] Scholar Parade, so my younger brother had no choice but to bring them here."

Just as he was speaking, the two ladies from Pingjun Palace came up to salute Xiao Hong.

The sound of beating gongs and drums was getting closer and closer. Xiao Hong was not familiar with these two cousins, so he nodded casually, ready to send it off as soon as possible, "Very good, then you are busy, I will go up first."

"Hey, wait, big brother." One of the younger ladies stopped him.

Xiao Hong turned his head, held back the impatience and eagerness in his heart, and gestured with his eyes to speak quickly.

The little girl glanced at her elder sister and asked, "The Linshui Pavilion is owned by the big brother, right?"

"Ah."

The little girl was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly begged: "Can you let the younger sisters sit together, the Linshui Pavilion can see the clearest."

As he said that, he saw two servant girls running in from outside the restaurant. They each held a basket in their hands, hurried to the two ladies, panted and said: "Second Miss, Third Miss, the servants are only You can buy these flowers."

When Miss San saw it, Liu Mei immediately frowned, "That's all, sister, it's not enough for you to throw it twice."

The maid said: "Miss San, I really can't buy it anymore. I bought it at a high price from someone else."

"I want to give it to the number one scholar, and my servant even met the cuckoo who is next to Ms. Huang and is also buying flowers everywhere."

"Yes, yes, the young master of the Lu family sent a servant to look for it everywhere, probably for Miss Lu."

Second Miss seemed to have a better temper, so she stopped being embarrassed, "Sister, forget it, it was just a temporary idea, but it was just for the occasion."

The third lady wrinkled her nose, she was not very happy, she turned her face to look at Xiao Hong, and she became happy again, "Fortunately, my cousin has reserved a wing room, and Linshui Pavilion has the best view, so I can definitely see what He Xichao looks like, I don't know what He Xichao looks like. It doesn't suit my sister."

The second lady blushed immediately when she heard this, and gave her younger sister a look, "Don't talk nonsense, the big hall brother is still watching."

"Big brother is better, He Xichao is his companion, what kind of character, good or not, big brother knows best, sister, let cousin talk about it later."

The words of the two sisters immediately made Xiao Hong's eyelids twitch wildly. He turned his head and stared at Prince Pingjun, only to see the latter leaning over and winking, and said in a low voice: "My second sister admires talented people the most. Didn't He Xichao come out of this world?" This book, she likes it very much, and my father also has that idea, Brother Hall, what do you think?"

how about it?

Xiao Hong laughed angrily: "It's nothing." He turned and went upstairs, and said, "There is no land in Linshui Pavilion, you go elsewhere."

Prince Pingjun was taken aback for a moment, and then said angrily: "Hey, big hall brother, what do you mean!"

Xiao Hong ignored him.

After entering the box and closing the door, Xiao Hong sat by the window, listening to the sound of gongs and drums getting closer, his heart was gurgling with acid.

He knew that Xi Chao was so good, more and more people would find out.

Recruiting a son-in-law here, marrying a daughter there, all families are not bad, each one is a match made in heaven, an especially good match, peach blossoms are not much less than him.

No, He Xichao is also full of talent, and he respects women very much. No matter how you look at it, he is a good husband, and with his appearance, he recruits more people than him.

Look, this flower has to be snapped up just to see him.

Thinking of this, "Xiao Dunzi, where is my king's flower!" Xiao Hong shouted grumpily.

Xiao Dunzi wiped sweat from his head, bowed again and again, "Here we come, Your Highness, we have arrived at the door."

As Xiao Hong's bodyguard, he would always receive inexplicable orders and do things that he couldn't figure out.

All the flowers in the city were sold out today, and the business of selling flower girls was unprecedentedly good. Two guards had to ride fast horses and search for them from the fields on the outskirts of the city. Fortunately, they didn't delay their King's event when they came back.

But the two of them couldn't understand, it's fine to throw flowers at the girl's house and throw a handkerchief, why does the King of England send flowers to such a big man?

That's right, the majestic King Ying didn't buy flowers to give to the girl he liked, but to spread flowers for He Zhuangyuan, the heavenly daughter of He Zhuangyuan who was parading around the street like many big girls and daughter-in-laws.

Come to think of it, it's kind of...funny.

The two carried the frame and ran all the way into the restaurant. They lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at the surprised eyes around them. They rushed into the Linshui Pavilion with lightning speed, put the frame in front of Xiao Hong and said, "Fortunately, my subordinates are not humiliated." mission."

Xiao Hong nodded, and lifted the frame onto the table by the window, facing the window, with one foot on the chair and the other on the table, holding the edge of the frame with one hand, and the window frame with the other. Once a person passes below, he will definitely be hit by all the flowers in the frame.

The lively beating of gongs and drums was getting closer and closer, Xiao Hong raised his eyebrows, and looked at the few flowers floating out of the windows on both sides of the restaurant with a gesture of contempt.

With a cold snort, he said to himself, how dare you fight with me?

He squinted his eyes and looked down, with a heavy and calm expression, like a general on the march, facing the charging enemy army, calculating the range of the archers behind him, counting the best time to shoot.

finally--

As soon as he opened his eyes, the frame in his hand fell down in an instant, and dense flowers mixed with weeds fell from the window frame of the wing room on the third floor...

Xiao Hong really deserves to be a strong man who reads military books, studies the art of war, has strong limbs and can draw a bow and shoot big eagles. Following He Xi, riding on both sides, the second place and Tanhua, who are a little behind, watched the basketful of flowers and plants accurately match each other. Seeing He Xichao smashing his head and face...

"ah!"

"be careful--"

Suddenly there were exclamations from around.

He Xichao actually sensed it, but he was not good enough to lead the horse away, so he was smashed all over.

What kind of flowers, what kind of grass, no matter how colorful and beautiful, he didn't care, he just subconsciously hugged his head to protect his head, waiting for this wave to end.

Naturally, he didn't escape when he got off the horse. If it wasn't for the groom who led the horse in front of him with quick eyesight and quick hands, the horse's front hooves would definitely be raised. He Xichao, who was so concerned about his head and didn't hold the rein, became the first number one scholar in the history of Daqi to be thrown off his horse.

"Who, who is making trouble!"

"Is this an enmity with the champion?"

"It must be a person who seeks personal revenge and is jealous."

"Intentional, absolutely intentional!"

……

All the beating of gongs and drums stopped, and the parade also stopped. He Xichao lay on his horse in shock, while the No. [-] and Tan Huaxin behind him stepped up and asked worriedly, "Zhuangyuan Lang, are you alright?"

Even if it's flowers, such a basket of flowers should be quite painful.

He Xichao let out a sigh of relief, sat up slowly, patted the horse's neck to comfort him, then pulled out a decent smile and said, "I'm fine."

"I don't know who did it. It's too bold under the eyes of everyone."

"On that window, the movement was too fast, and no one was seen."

He Xichao followed the directions of others and looked up, only to see that there was no one behind a big open window.

Ha ha.

He said he had the guts to do it, but he didn't have the guts to show his face!

"I'm afraid it's too enthusiastic and not thoughtful. If you use this as a murder weapon, it won't hurt anyone." He Xichao ground his teeth secretly while talking, raised his hand to caress the crown, and took down a wild flower.

He played with it in his hand, with a smile on his face, and a hint of coldness hidden in the end of his eyes.

No. [-] and Tanhua glanced at each other, thinking that no matter who it was, it would be bad luck.

Officers and soldiers came to inquire at the front, He Xichao waved his hands and said, "It's okay, let's continue."

With the sound of the gong, the music continued, and the parade stopped for a while before moving forward again.

And He Xichao seemed to be fine, sitting upright on the horse, but now he seemed to be enthusiastic, and raised his hands to wave to the sides, with a bright smile on his face, and greeted him cordially all the way.

Silk handkerchief flowers floated down from the open windows upstairs like spring rain, and there were a few shy and timid figures looming behind the windows, which attracted cheers from both sides.

Inside the Linshui Pavilion, Xiao Hong crouched in the corner with his basket in his arms. Hearing the shouts from outside, he shrugged his head with a look of annoyance and a little bit of fear in his expression.

It's over, see Xi Chao later, he will definitely be beaten to death.

Is he a pig?This kind of thing can also be messed up!

What if Xi Chao ignores him?

Xiao Hong wanted to cry but had no tears, he wanted to hug the frame and jump directly to Mingzhi.

Xiao Dunzi was leaning against the wall with the two guards, watching his nose, nose, and heart, biting his lips without saying a word, vowing to shut up the laughter stuck in his throat so as not to be silenced.

At this time someone knocked on the door.

Xiao Dunzi looked at Xiao Hong, who was immersed in his own sadness, and did not move.

The two guards pretended they didn't hear it.

After knocking on the door for two more times, there was no more knocking, but the laughter of Prince Pingjun came.

"Brother Hall, you can do it, so you are so jealous of your companion, does He Xichao know that you are waiting for him here?"

There was no sound from inside.

"Ah, my darling, go down with your head in your pocket, no one else's edge is touched, and all the greetings are on him. There is no one else with this accurate head. I really admire it, little brother."

Still no response.

"It's no wonder you had to let us in, let my second sister see, don't you have to worry about it, hahaha..."

There was still no movement inside.

"I have to share this news with everyone and have fun together."

At this moment, Xiao Hong couldn't squat anymore, he jumped up immediately, walked to the door in three or two steps, and brought in the Prince Pingjun who hadn't left yet.

The two guards immediately closed the door without making a sound, and stood aside.

Prince Pingjun was startled, and hurriedly said: "Don't mess around, everyone can see where the flowers poured out from. Whoever ordered the Linshui Pavilion will know that you are under the name of Prince Ying's mansion. Say, you can't hide it."

"Then do you think he will be very angry?" Xiao Hong scratched his head and asked worriedly.

Prince Pingjun's son was inexplicable, and asked in confusion: "Didn't you teach him a lesson?"

"Fart, this king is in pain, it's too late to cherish him, who wants to teach him a lesson, don't want to live anymore?"

Prince Pingjun blinked, his eyes fell on the frame, and after a moment of silence, "So, so, are you throwing flowers like my second sister?"

Xiao Hong nodded heavily, "...um."

"Hahahaha... Ah, my God, this is the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life, Brother Hall, you are really interesting, haha... No, no, I must tell my brother."

"Ask you, what a joke."

All the grievances of Prince Pingjun towards Xiao Hong dissipated immediately, he looked at him very sympathetically and said, "Brother Hall, normal people would not do this."

"He passed the exam."

"Then reward! Beauty, money, what the hell do you think you are doing? If I were He Xichao, I would think you have a problem with me."

Xiao Hong was silent, his mood became more and more irritable, he raised his hand and waved at him, "Get out, get out, annoying."

"Tsk tsk." Prince Pingjun was not annoyed, shrugged and left.

Xiao Hong dared to stick his head out to look at the clanging team when the crowd had gone away, with a somewhat solemn and bleak expression.

The author has something to say: Yao: Hong'er, you are easy to get carried away and leave it behind for future generations. There is no one for you.
