Come on, Your Highness

He Xichao nodded after listening to Xiao Hong's words.

Xiao Hongdao: "Xi Chao, let them see what is called a world-shaking talent tomorrow, don't worry, I'll be by your side, don't be afraid."

He Xichao didn't know how to write the word "fear".

After finishing lectures to Xiao Hong as usual and watching him finish the exercises, it's almost time for bed.

Then Nanny Shen led the palace servants into his bedroom holding the bedding and pillows.

He Xichao felt puzzled, looked at Xiao Hong and asked, "What is this?"

"I'll sleep with you tonight."

Shen Momo smiled and said: "Your Highness is afraid that Young Master Xi Chao will be stage fright tomorrow, so I will talk to you." She then made the bed together with the maid, and then retreated.

He Xichao felt a little disgusted, "I can sleep well by myself, but I can't sleep well when you come here." Even though he said that, he still squeezed into it, "Be quiet, or you will be kicked down."

Xiao Hong climbed into the bed with a smile, got into the bed, and the two faced each other, he suddenly said with emotion: "Xi Chao, if only we were always inseparable like this, I am not used to it for the few days when you go home for the exam. "

He Xi rolled his eyes at him, "Impossible."

Xiao Hong was not happy when he heard it, "Why? You trust me, and I trust you too. Even if I have the opportunity to sit in that chair in the future, I will protect you and listen to you like I do now. Isn't it good? ?”

He Xichao sneered, "You won't marry a wife and have children in the future? There are so many concubines in the harem, one per day is fine. Besides, the person you trust the most will also be your princess, so that you can be stable for a long time."

"how about you?"

"Me?" He Xichao smiled, "Naturally, I am also the same. As an important minister of the court, I will help the emperor solve problems, and as the pillar of the family, I will take care of my wife and children."

Xiao Hong looked at He Xichao and fell silent, he felt a little repulsed by such a future.

"Everyone has their own life." He Xichao saw his unhappy appearance, couldn't help stretching out his hand, pinched Xiao Hong's nose, and said with a smile, "Only children think that their partners will never be separated. "

"I don't want to marry a wife." Xiao Hong said.

He Xichao didn't take it seriously, "Let's talk about it when you're older, young Mu Ai, you'll think about it naturally when you grow up, just don't drag the maids around and forget about business." He Xichao said and yawned, "Go to bed now."

Then he turned over, facing the inside of the bed.

Xiao Hong stared at the back of He Xichao's head, suddenly feeling very depressed. He was seriously talking about the future with He Xichao, and he thought he could do it, but He Xichao didn't take it seriously at all.

When he grows up, he will naturally miss others, but why does he miss others?His mind is full of Xi Chao now!

Xiao Hong struggled, but no one answered him, maybe everything will have to wait until he grows up.

In the early morning of the second day, He Xichao finished his breakfast step by step, and the servants from the Qingzheng Hall arrived.

He asked, "Elder-in-law, do you need to bring anything? Paper or pen?"

"Young Master He, just go directly."

There were two dark circles under Xiao Hong's eyes, and his expression was a little listless.

He Xichao casually said: "I didn't sleep well, then I'll go by myself, why don't you go to the study and lie on your stomach?"

Xiao Hong looked at He Xichao with some resentment, and didn't fall asleep until very late last night.In the end, he had a nightmare. In the dream, he saw He Xichao walking towards a girl with his back turned to him. No matter how much he yelled, he didn't come back. He was so scared that he woke up all of a sudden.He stared at He Xichao's sleeping face for a long time, and gradually lost consciousness again, but it didn't take long for He Xichao to push him awake, it was almost dawn, and he had to get up.

Xiao Hong gave He Xichao a bitter look, "Xichao, you are so cruel."

This came out of nowhere for no reason, even if He Xichao was extremely smart, he couldn't guess why.

"Then are you going?"

"Go, although you are ruthless to me, but I can't be unrighteous. If I promise to stay with you, I will stay with you, so that I won't abandon you like you!"

He Xi looked at Xinrui for something messy after eating early in the morning, and the latter shook her head innocently.

He Xichao and Xiao Hong were waiting outside the Hall of Harmony, because the morning court was going on inside.

But today's morning ended very quickly, and I guess I wanted to see the nine-year-old court chief, so I didn't discuss anything for too long.

Soon, after the two of them waited for nearly an hour, an announcement was made inside.

Inside the Hall of Taihe, civil and military officials stood on both sides clearly, leaving a five-person shoulder-width aisle in the middle. They looked at the two people who came from the entrance of the hall together, and their expressions were slightly surprised.

I saw the person in front of me wearing a court dress embroidered with golden dragons. Although his face was a little immature, his stature was as tall as that of an adult man. He raised his chin slightly, his eyes were firm but open, and his eyes followed his steps The minister of civil and military affairs flowed by, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, his expression was half a smile, and he looked extremely rebellious.

Undoubtedly, this is the eldest prince who offends who is unlucky.

The Eldest Prince is tall and has long legs, but his steps are not big. He walks slowly so that a young man with slightly restrained eyes can follow behind him.The little prince looks like the little golden boy in the New Year's pictures, he looks very good, he follows the eldest prince, he is steady and unhurried, although he doesn't speak, he has a calm and stable temperament like a mountain.

Apparently this is He Xichao who, with the Eldest Prince firmly guarding his back, took the top spot in the court trial at the young age of nine years old.

The eldest prince walked under Majesty Dan with his companions, lifted his clothes and both knelt down to salute.

"My son, Xiao Hong, pays homage to his father, long live, long live."

"Student He Xichao pays homage to the emperor, long live, long live."

"Pingshen." Emperor Tiangan's deep voice sounded.

He was sitting on the dragon chair, and Xiao Hong could see him clearly as he walked all the way.

The child was full of vigor and flamboyance, he seemed to disregard civil and military officials, and there was a faint air of contempt, which was the supreme dignity of the prince of the Tian family.

Emperor Tiangan saw it and nodded slightly.

He didn't refuse Xiao Hongtong to come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so he wanted to let him meet the courtiers.

Xiao Hong is already twelve, and will be thirteen after the new year, so he should slowly enter the government and share his worries.

As soon as he made his debut, Xiao Hong's performance without any timidity made him satisfied and proud. His eldest son should look fearless.

Xiao Hong will be here, obviously, as his rumors say, he will guard his companions in a very prison.

I only heard him say: "Father, I heard that the whole court was very dissatisfied with He Xichao, who was studying with his son He Xichao at the age of nine, and even took up such precious time in the court, just to write a letter to ask Father to check the matter My son thinks it is simply nonsense. Xi Chao passed the exam according to the rules of the court examination, there is nothing suspicious about it, but only on the question of age, my son is extremely dissatisfied."

When Emperor Tiangan frowned, he turned his head to look at the officials on both sides, and said again: "However, there is nothing to do if a genius is envied. , Jinshi at the age of fifteen, don't you adults want to be shocked again? In order to prevent the father's dragon case from being overwhelmed by such boring memorials, the son-in-law brought Xi Chao, and begged the father to test it on the spot and give Xi Rectify the name of the court, and also rectify the name of the minister!"

Xiao Hong's thumping voice echoed in the hall, shocking all civil and military officials with astonishment.

Emperor Tiangan felt that he had to take back the evaluation just now. This brat is not only proud, he is simply lawless. If this kind of arrogance is said in private, the father and son will just talk about it in private. Will come to slap the mouth.

Everyone thought Xiao Hong was exaggerating, but only He Xichao who was behind Xiao Hong raised his lips.

"It's useless for the First Prince to speak beautifully. Since he's already here, he can go directly to the school." This is what Doctor Yushi said.

"Hong'er." Emperor Tiangan glanced at him.

Xiao Hong turned his head, only to see He Xichao smiled at him and nodded slightly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm right next to you."

As soon as Xiao Hong stepped aside, he heard Emperor Tiangan say: "He Xichao."

"The students are here."

"In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, I will ask you again, are you willing to take the test again in court? Wei Guogong will guarantee you with his head, you should think about it."

He Xichao raised his head, but his immature voice said neither humble nor overbearing: "No matter when and where, students are fearless."

"Okay." Emperor Tiangan gave him a deep look, "I hope you can be worthy of the trust of the eldest prince and Duke Wei, come here."

Two guards quickly set up tables and chairs for one person in the palace, and another servant placed pens, inks and papers.

"Today's time is limited, so I only give you one hour to take the exam. As for the topic..." Emperor Tiangan glanced at the officials, and suddenly pointed to the imperial envoy doctor and said with a smile, "You Qing is so suspicious, how about Let You Qing come up with the question."

"Father!" Xiao Hong quit on the spot, he hurriedly asked, "What should I do if I ask a tricky question?"

Emperor Tiangan glared at him immediately, and then said: "The questions of the college examination are from the Five Books, so You Qing should not deviate from it."

The Imperial Envoy immediately bowed to accept the order, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
