The day of the imperial examination.

Ming Ciyi arrived at the palace early in the morning.

In fact, it was not a big deal for him to come here, just to accompany Emperor Yin Wen to invigilate the exam.

The two of them were playing chess on top, while the candidates below were writing hard.

Emperor Yin Wen occasionally chatted with Ming Ciyi for a while, as if no one was taking the exam.

This is also a test.

If the candidates are distracted by them, they are out of the competition from a certain point of view.

"National teacher." Emperor Yin Wen said lightly, "You were in Xuanqing Guan a few days ago... are you okay?"

It's okay if he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned Ming Ciyi, he remembered the token that was still in his arms.

Although he got into the carriage at that time, but before he had time to return the token to Ji Changshu, Ji Changshu left straight away. Judging from his appearance, he had other things to deal with, and Ming Ciyi could not delay.

Afterwards, he told Shuangcheng that Shuangcheng was also surprised, but he didn't dare to take back the token.

So this piece of hot potato remained in Ming Ciyi's hands.

Mingci is bald.

He hadn't seen Ji Changshu for a few days after that day, and for his safety, Emperor Yin Wen didn't call him into the palace either.

After all, most of the things that happened recently were aimed at him.

That's why Ming Ciyi didn't see anyone outside his mansion until today.

Ming Ciyi smiled: "It's nothing, thanks to the prince."

He didn't intend to tell Hua Manying, because he believed that Emperor Yinwen was also very interested in his background and life experience, if he knew that Hua Manying knew him, he would definitely follow this line to investigate.

Emperor Yinwen is the emperor after all, so he definitely has the ability to check people, it's just a matter of time.

But no matter how fast he was, Ming Ciyi didn't want himself and Emperor Yinwen to be open about this.

Now Emperor Yinwen believes in him, simply because his identity is mysterious, his origin is a mystery, and because he has a pair of distinctive blue eyes, many people believe that he is a god who came down to earth.

But if one day Emperor Yin Wen knew that he was a mortal body and just an ordinary soul, not to mention whether it was a crime of deceiving the emperor, at the very least, his trust in him would decrease.

Furthermore... He and Emperor Yin Wen didn't have a heart-to-heart friendship, so he didn't need to let Emperor Yin Wen know everything.

Emperor Yinwen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Ming Ciyi's words, and his smile was still so warm: "Recently, Changshu and you are indeed very close."

He paused, seemingly unintentionally: "I heard that this long book is for the national teacher, and I deliberately rushed to the hiding place of those killers early in the morning."

Ming Ciyi was taken aback.

He knew that Ji Changshu must have been in a hurry to help him remove those hidden dangers in secret, and he was also very grateful in his heart, and he was also thinking about how to repay him.

But Emperor Yin Wen specifically pointed it out now...why?

Mingciyi lowered his eyes to cover up the doubt in his eyes, then pretended to be calm and let down a breath, and then listened to Emperor Yinwen continue: "The national teacher must not let down Changshu's intentions."

It turned out that it was just to keep friends for my younger brother.

Ming Ciyi heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a bit real: "It's natural, the prince is kind to the minister, and the minister will never forget it."

Emperor Yin Wen looked at Ming Ciyi with a gentle gaze, and a bit of kindness, as if he was looking at his own family: "August North was originally envoys to pay tribute... then I have to ask the national teacher to take care of me."

It's the end of June now, and January seems to pass in the blink of an eye.

And August Beiyuan's envoy...is also a big event.

In the original book, the Empress Dowager reached an agreement with the envoys of Beiyuan during this period. The following year, Beiyuan attacked Yin Dynasty. was captured.

Beiyuan also directly hit the foot of the capital. Yin Chao was besieged on all sides at that time, and the hidden guards left behind by Ji Changshu paid their lives to turn the situation around.

Hearing about August Beiyuan's envoy, Ming Ciyi lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in his eyes.

Treason, in his heart, can be nailed to the pillar of shame.

The Empress Dowager Jiang caused the people of two cities, or even several cities, to fall into the fire and water for her own self-interest.

Ming Ciyi didn't dare to say more at this time, after all, there were many people in the hall, so he only said: "I understand, Your Majesty, don't worry."

After the palace examination was over, the list was announced after five days of trial.

The release of the list in the palace examination is not like the general examination. The palace examination is made by Emperor Yinwen and announced by the eunuchs around him.

In front of all the candidates and hundreds of officials, it was extremely majestic.

As a national teacher, Ming Ciyi was naturally spoiled by the top three.

Just like the first test, the top three have not changed.

This also means that the number one pick is He Gan.

Ming Ciyi, who had never won the first place, had a sour real name.

After the imperial decree was promulgated, He Gan wore the number one scholar robe, the number one scholar hat on his head, and a big red flower on his body. He looked like a bridegroom official, but he was more prestigious than marrying a bride.

Ming Ciyi was the last to say congratulations to He Gan.

He Gan asked again: "Are you okay?"

Ming Ciyi smiled and shook his head: "You should worry about yourself first, Zhuangyuan Lang."

He paused: "I'm afraid that countless officials will pounce on you when you come back from the parade."

Hearing Ming Ciyi's words, He Gan joked, "Then I'll hide in your house. Now that you and Yuan Wang have caused you to be in the limelight, I don't believe anyone dares to provoke you."

Ming Ciyi gave him a middle finger: "Go away."

So He Gan smiled and got on the horse.

Obviously they all traveled from the 21st century, but He Gan is very good at riding horses, without the slightest feeling of modern people.

Ming Ciyi's real name became sour again.

He wasn't interested in watching the number one scholar parade through the streets, so he prepared to get into the carriage and wanted to go home, but he didn't want to find out that his coachman had changed: "Shuangcheng? What's the matter?"

The first thought in Ming Ciyi's mind was - maybe there was something wrong with his original driver! ?

But fortunately, everything is just Ming Ciyi's overthinking.

Shuangcheng jumped down and supported Ming Ciyi up, saying: "Master, please go to Linjiang Tower."

Linjianglou is the most unique restaurant in Beijing.

And it is also Ji Changshu's property.

Unlike the Xunqian Tower next to the canal in the capital city, which is owned by the royal family, the Linjiang Tower is Ji Changshu's private property.

When you come to Linjiang Tower to talk about things, you don’t have to worry about the walls having ears.

Ming Ciyi thought that Ji Changshu had something important to ask him, so he didn't refuse.

In fact, even if Ji Changshu went to him for a cup of tea, he wouldn't say no.

The carriage drove to the bottom of the Linjiang Building, and there were already many people standing around waiting for the champion to patrol the street.

Mingciyi entered Linjiang Tower under the guard of Shuangcheng.

Originally, Ming Ciyi thought that he could see an empty building, but a certain overlord who did not want to be named dispersed all the guests in order to talk to him.

But after entering, Ming Ciyi found that the place was still very lively.

In the private room, there were also people leaning against the window waiting for the number one scholar, or the princes of aristocratic families, or several young ladies, and there were also officials below the fifth rank.

Mingciyi followed Shuangcheng up to the highest level calmly, and then Shuangcheng knocked on the door: "Master."

"Ah."

Ji Changshu's cold response came from inside, and the corners of Ming Ciyi's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Shuangcheng pushed open the door and bowed his head to signal Ming Ciyi: "Master Ming, please."

Ming Ciyi nodded slightly and walked in.

This entire floor belongs to Ji Changshu, and the space inside is bigger than Ming Ciyi imagined.

Ming Ciyi walked around the first screen, and what he saw were the book case and the piano and chess.

Going around the second screen, you can see Ruantao and the incense burner.

Going further inside, he finally saw Ji Changshu.

Ji Changshu knelt on the futon, holding a silver wine glass in his hand, noticing Ming Ciyi's arrival, he looked up at Ming Ciyi.

The light coming in from the window fell on his face, softening his cold profile slightly.

The oppression in his habitually half-closed kitchen knife eyes also disappeared at this moment. At this moment, Ji Changshu is not like a prince, but like an idler who travels the world.

Ming Ciyi swallowed dryly, and blinked slowly.

What he didn't know was that Ji Changshu looked at him in a different way.

Ming Ciyi stood there like that. He was actually a little thin, but he still looked good.

The breeze gently brushed his hair and the tassel hanging from his left ear, making it hard to look away.

The most important thing is the eyes.

Rao is Ji Changshu, there is no other adjective besides beauty.

"sit."

He lowered his eyes and looked away, his tone was so flat that no one could notice his momentary daze just now.

Ming Ciyi took the opportunity to sit next to him, only to realize that this was an excellent viewing position.

The Linjiang Tower itself was built very high, and I felt exhausted when I left when I climbed the stairs, but now I am leaning against the window and looking at the scenery below, it is indescribably refreshing.

"It's really beautiful," he exclaimed.

He looked at the dense crowd below, and all kinds of antique buildings: "Actually, this world is also beautiful."

This is not the first time Ji Changshu has heard Ming Ciyi say words such as "this world", "your world", and "my world", but he didn't ask more questions, nor did he answer.

Ming Ciyi didn't care, he just lay down by the window and watched like this.

Linjiang Tower is not far from the imperial palace, so after a while He Gan slowly appeared on the street on a horse.

It's so lively down here, Ming Ciyi smiled when he saw it.

He Gan was really imposing this time.

However, Ming Ciyi's smile didn't last long and disappeared in an instant.

For some unknown reason, a woman suddenly fell out of the range of the imperial guards and fell directly in front of He Gan's horse.

He Gan grabbed the reins and stopped, the imperial guards held the spears in their hands and were about to throw the woman back into the crowd.

The woman seemed to be elderly, probably in her 50s or [-]s. Seeing this scene, Ming Ciyi almost subconsciously shouted from the tall building: "Stop!"

His voice was mixed with sharpness and coldness, making the movements of the guards' hands almost subconsciously paused.

Only then did He Gan come to his senses, quickly got off his horse, helped the old woman up, and sent her back to the crowd.

Ming Ciyi heaved a sigh of relief, but Ji Changshu, who was sitting across from him, gave He Gan a sideways glance, just in time for He Gan to look up at him.

The oppression and indifference in Ji Changshu's eyes made He Gan's eyelids twitch.

The fragrance of gardenias in summer permeates the entire imperial garden.

And a banquet was held in the pavilion in the imperial garden.

Except for today's high school champion, all those invited were from the younger generation.

Ming Ciyi was very honored to sit in this row with this body.

Of course, the unmarried Ji Changshu was also forcibly brought here by Emperor Yinwen.

Ming Ciyi sat next to Ji Changshu, of course.

Anyway, it's not the first time he has been treated like a royal family, and Ming Ciyi has been able to accept it very well.

The scent of gardenias was a bit too strong, as strong as shochu, and Ming Ciyi was a little dizzy from the smoke.

It was as if the whole person had been thrown into the wine pool and soaked.

In fact, this is also because the aroma of gardenia is mixed with a strong aroma of wine.

Ming Ciyi was not very good at drinking, so Emperor Yinwen ordered someone to prepare tea for him.

However, Ming Ciyi didn't like drinking tea very much, of course, Mr. Ming would not provoke trouble at this kind of palace banquet.

He casually picked up a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth, watching the scene of toasting and drinking was really a bit boring.

Ming Ciyi doesn't know how to socialize, so he didn't want to join the dating meeting.

And because Ming Ciyi had Ji Changshu by his side, even if someone wanted to chat, they still didn't dare.

After all... 3 minutes ago, an aristocratic son who did not want to be named tried to talk to Ji Changshu with everyone's expectations.

And then... the ending is to be frozen into ice slag.

In fact, it's not that Ji Changshu is too cold, it's just that Ji Changshu's eyes are too penetrating, I always feel that he can see through all the darkness in your heart at a glance.

Anyway, Ming Ciyi didn't want to have too much contact with Ji Changshu before.

Ji Changshu noticed Ming Ciyi's gaze: "Aren't you going?"

Ming Ciyi wanted to say "I'm not interested", but there are so many people here, he was afraid that some people would think that he was superior and disdain to talk with them, so Ming Ciyi said very wittily and cleverly: " with you."

What a perfect answer!

Ming Ciyi almost clapped his hands!

How can he be so smart? !

Hearing his answer, Ji Changshu's eyes suddenly sank.

In Ji Changshu's heart, Ming Ciyi can get along well among these people.

It can be seen from the polo field before.

And such a popular person is willing to be by his side...

Ji Changshu lowered his eyes, covering a little starlight in his eyes.

"Brother Guoshi!"

Just at this time, a clear and delicate voice sounded from behind Ming Ciyi, Ming Ciyi looked back subconsciously, and saw Princess Jingshu lying on the railing behind them and waving at him, smiling brightly.

Ming Ciyi had a headache.

He was like that last time, why is Princess Jingshu not afraid of him?

Is it because he seems like the easy talker? !

Princess Jingshu seemed to be relying on him, walked around the pavilion and walked up to him: "Brother Guoshi changed his clothes today?"

Ming Ciyi was startled, looked at himself subconsciously, and then listened to Princess Jingshu continue: "You used to be dressed in plain color, but today you still have dark patterns, are these cloud patterns?"

This robe was prepared by Yuebai, Ming Ciyi really didn't notice it.

Never noticed it once.

Ming Ciyi looked at it for a long time before realizing that there were really dark lines on his robe: "..."

Are you the microscope girl often said by the modern population?

Princess Jingshu saw that he was helpless, and the smile on his mouth deepened: "Brother Guoshi, why don't you play with us?"

"He wants to be with me." Before Ming Ciyi could open his mouth, Ji Changshu said indifferently: "Any comments?"

His tone was really cold, a girl would be afraid.

Princess Jingshu was a bit afraid of Ji Changshu. Before Ji Changshu didn't speak, she could let herself not care as much as possible, but now that Ji Changshu opened her mouth, Princess Jingshu subconsciously became Rabbit didn't even dare to speak, just shook his head vigorously.

Ming Ciyi couldn't laugh or cry as Princess Jingshu left stiffly under Ji Changshu's death stare.

"By the way, my lord." He had completely forgotten about the incident in Linjiang Tower before, but now he remembered: "That sign..."

Ji Changshu looked at him calmly: "For you."

Ming Ciyi: "..."

He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ji Changshu in astonishment: "What did you say?"

Ming Ciyi swallowed his saliva, as if he felt it was too incredible: "This is..."

He really wanted to ask Ji Changshu a good question, but now that there are so many people, he dare not say too much.

If someone is eyeing him because of this brand, Ming Ciyi can choose to commit seppuku.

Ji Changshu lowered his eyes and poured a glass of wine, his tone was extremely casual and indifferent: "It's just a useless thing, if you don't want it, just throw it away."

Ming Ciyi: "??????????????"

i fuck...

How could he dare to lose? !

Ming Ciyi felt that the token in his arms was no longer just a hot potato, it was completely a piece of iron that had just been burnt.

Why did Ji Changshu give him such a thing...?

No, the point is why did you say such a domineering line?

Who was it that taught him the gloomy prince?

Ming Ciyi took a deep breath, his mind was in a mess, even more muddy than paste.

His thoughts were completely incoherent and messy, but he caught the most crucial thought in this mess.

Ji Changshu...could he use this token to apologize to him again?

Apologies for the unnamed fire he sent at him in the carriage.

Do not,

isn't it?

If it was true, did Ji Changshu really like him, or did he plan to cook him up before coaxing him?

Mingci looked at Ji Changshu in a daze, and subconsciously asked, "My lord, why?"

Hearing this, Ji Changshu lowered his eyes to look at him, just in time to meet the persistence in his eyes.

Ji Changshu was silent for a moment, and said flatly, "If you want to send it, I will."

it is true.

Ming and Ming Ji Changshu's answer was not what Ming Ciyi thought.

But Ming Ciyi is clear.

Ji Changshu is using this token to apologize.

Unbelievable emotions welled up in Ming Ciyi's heart, and a small, imperceptible seed was planted in Ming Ciyi's heart by Ji Changshu.

It only needs to be watered and fertilized one day, and then grow wildly, no one can stop it.

This palace banquet will last too long.

Ji Changshu was summoned by Emperor Yinwen to discuss matters in the Imperial Study Room, so the boring Ming Ciyi had to stand up and join the Imperial Garden Talk.

As a result, He Gan rushed out of the encirclement before he could go in, and while apologizing to others, he dragged Ming Ciyi to go elsewhere.

Ming Ciyi was a little confused, but he followed him to a corner of the garden: "What's wrong?"

He Gan's eyes brightened: "Princess Jingshu."

Before he could say a word, Ming Ciyi already understood: "Are you in love with her?"

"Yeah!" He Gan: "She is the most modern woman I have seen in this world, she is bold for love!"

Ming Ciyi: "...you know she likes me?"

He tilted his head: "You don't mind?"

For the drama of love at first sight, Ming Ciyi didn't wear colored glasses to watch it, but he felt it was very real.

Sometimes this is the case for many people. It only takes one glance to determine who is the person who can accompany you for the rest of your life.

He Gan patted him on the shoulder: "What are you afraid of? Although I am not as good-looking as you, I am definitely more talented than you. I am confident that I will catch up with her. Just don't give her hope."

"What do I want her to do?" Ming Ciyi was helpless: "I have no feelings for little girls."

It's fine if he doesn't say anything, but when he talked about He Gan, he couldn't help teasing: "You and Yuan Wang are really close, if you get married someday, I won't be surprised."

He Gan paused for a moment, and pretended to be casual again: "I might choose the Queen Mother because of Princess Jingshu...Of course, I can't do anything that hurts nature and reason. We are still good brothers, okay?"

As early as when He Gan said that he liked Princess Jingshu, Ming Ciyi had guessed it.

It's just that Ming Ciyi didn't expect He Gan to pick it up.

He subconsciously reached out and twirled the tassel on his earlobe, and then he chuckled: "Then you have to remember what you said, if you let me know that you have human life on your hand, I will... ask the prince to arrest you." Stranded."

"It's a bit ruthless, brother." He Gan's heart fell to the ground, and his smile became a bit more real: "But you can be more ruthless."

"master."

After Ji Changshu came out of the imperial study, a hidden guard appeared in the dark: "After you left, the number one scholar went to find Mr. Ming."

Ji Changshu's footsteps paused slightly, and his expression turned cold. He continued to walk forward, and the dark guard followed him in silence for a moment and said: "The number one scholar said that he fell in love with Princess Jingshu, and he wanted to stand by the queen mother. The young master didn't say anything, and he didn't break with him."

A cold light flashed across Ji Changshu's slightly drooping eyes.

He Gan...

His tolerance for him was higher than he expected.

After the secret guard finished reporting, he was about to go down, but he didn't expect Ji Changshu to say suddenly: "Shuangwu."

His tone was cold and he didn't turn his head: "I asked you to protect him, not to monitor him."

Shuang Wu's heart trembled, and he knelt directly behind Ji Changshu, and kowtowed suddenly: "Please forgive me, master."

Ji Changshu didn't reply and just continued walking.

After Ji Changshu's figure disappeared, Shuang Tong appeared from the shadows and pulled Shuang Wu up: "The master didn't blame you, but just reminded you."

Shuangwu stood next to Shuangtong with his head down and didn't answer, cold sweat had already soaked his undershirt.

Shuangtong looked at his pale lips and didn't have much reaction, just said: "You have to remember that Mr. Ming is different from master. If master doesn't ask, you can treat it as if it didn't happen, unless it is Mr. Ming." Something happened."

He paused for a moment, and added a rare guess: "Maybe Mr. Ming will be our second master in the future."

When Ji Changshu returned to the palace banquet, the banquet was almost over.

Ming Ciyi just got up and was about to go back to Ming Mansion.

Ji Changshu grabbed him, "I'll see you off."

There are many young masters who want to bid farewell to Ming Ciyi: "..."

Sorry they shouldn't be here, they should be in the dirt.

The author has something to say: there is a cutie who noticed that He Gan's time travel was accidental or inevitable, Ben Gu (crossed out) I am so relieved! ! !
