[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much

Under the eyes of everyone, Jiao Shi's face was solemn, and he softly dissuaded: "Your Highness, the body is the foundation of everything. If you can't eat in time, you may suffer losses. I hope that Your Highness will put your body first." The atmosphere in the main hall condensed for a while, No one dared to speak.

Zhu Houzhao is delicate and savage, he always does what he wants, and the people who serve him have naturally thought of winning with caring, but this way does not work, leaving only losers.Otherwise, why did Liu Jin and others not strive to be the No.1, but to start elsewhere in order to attract the prince's favor, of course, there is also an element of matching what he likes.

"So it's so late?" Zhu Houzhao squinted at the lit candles in the palace, and immediately felt the groaning in his belly, and the sound happened at this time, and the hall was silent again, and everyone could hear it clearly .Embarrassment flashed across Zhu Houzhao's face, but the speed was so fast that Jiao Shizhi, who was standing in front of him, couldn't see clearly.

"Setting the meal—" He was a little angry from embarrassment, suddenly felt that there were so many people standing in the hall, it was too crowded, and he was angry.

Duanben Palace naturally has its own small dining room, and there are people in the dining room for twelve hours, for fear that this little ancestor will not be able to find anyone when he is hungry.When the meal was approaching, the small dining room was already waiting. As soon as he received the news that the prince wanted to eat, he quickly packed the prepared meal and took it away with the waiter.

Zhu Houzhao is not very particular about food, and he has no special preferences. He is easy to talk about in this regard, and the food made by the small dining room is also very suitable for his taste.

Although he just entered the palace, Liu Jin had already found Jiao Shizhi and the two when the prince was having fun, and their residence was arranged in the second room on the right side of the main hall. Just put it inside the house.They can retreat first when His Royal Highness is eating, and the meal will be delivered to their house, and they will come back after eating.

The two of them were not dissatisfied with this arrangement, and when they were about to leave quietly, they heard the prince's voice, "Shizhi, where are you going? Stay with me for dinner."

Jiao Shizhi's body froze, and before he could react, he felt that Lin Xiu standing beside him pulled his clothes without leaving a trace, and then retreated, leaving Jiao Shi alone under the eyes of everyone.He is not a hypocritical character, so he sat down according to Zhu Houzhao's intention, and someone brought him bowls and chopsticks immediately.

Beside Zhu Houzhao's rambling words, "The food in this small dining room is pretty good. This dish is my favorite these days, although it's a bit sweet and sour. The meat dishes over there are a bit greasy, but it's still good to try something new." Not bad..." Listening to the prince's words, Jiao Shizhi lowered his head and showed a very shallow smile, he had never felt this way at home.

Following the instructions of His Highness the Crown Prince, Jiao Shizhi tasted some of the dishes specially recommended by Zhu Houzhao, and drank a lot of soup at Zhu Houzhao's request. At the end, he covered his face in embarrassment and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I am really humble! I can't eat any more." Although his appetite is not small, it is not big enough to eat all the dishes on the table.

While cleaning his hands, Zhu Houzhao said, "I think you've eaten too little." Jiao Shizhi was afraid that he would stuff up again, so he said quickly, "It's enough, I've never eaten so much before." One or two hours to digest food.Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly, and didn't let him go until it was almost time to go to bed.

And it was only at this time that Jiao Shizhi had time to see how the new room was.The rooms in the main hall are naturally different from those in the apse.Jiao Shizhi didn't react after seeing it, he just packed up his things, although he didn't feel it when he was with Zhu Houzhao, but he felt relieved when he left.

Zhu Houzhao is the prince, and Jiao Shizhi still remembers the dangerous feeling he felt in Chuxiu Palace that day. As a prince, he is by no means a simple person.Zhu Houzhao's overtures to him may be aimless, just admiring a playmate, but for Jiao Shizhi, he needs to be careful. He has not forgotten the anxious gaze just now.

Lin Xiu sighed from the side: "I thought I had heard enough about how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves to play around at home, but I didn't expect that after seeing it in the palace, it would be even more..." He seemed to say something that was not good He hesitated for half a minute and switched to another word, "Unexpected."

Lin Xiu's father is the Jijiu of Guozijian. Although he is only from the fourth rank, this position is on the sidelines of all the students who enter the Guozijian in the capital.People who can enter the Imperial College are not ordinary people. Lin Jijiu is also a capable person, but his son likes to wield knives and guns. He doesn't know anything about writing.Lin Jijiu's contacts are all on the side of the civil servants, and the military officials can't do their best at all. Otherwise, because of his literati's nobility, he would not let his son participate in that kind of selection.

Although it was held by the emperor, in the eyes of a large number of literati, it was child's play.

Jiao Shizhi strongly agrees in his heart, but he can't say such words directly, he can only nod slightly.

Lin Xiu came back a long time ago, and packed up her things after eating before going back to the main hall.At this moment, while watching Jiao Shizhi packing up his things, he said, "His Royal Highness is very kind to you, but Jiao Shizhi, you have to be careful. I felt that some people's eyes were not quite right just now."

Jiao Shizhi looked at Lin Xiu, who seemed carefree, nodded his head and said softly: "Thank you." If it were someone else, they might wish Jiao Shizhi would stumble, so how could they remind him.

Lin Xiu waved her hand and didn't care at all, "Your mind is delicate, you must be clearer than me. I'm just talking too much. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even have the opportunity to participate in this." Lin Xiu looked very openly, obviously Zhu Houzhao was aiming at Jiao Shizhi came here, but he just happened by chance.

"And I also want to thank you for being the one. My father said that if I can't be selected this time, he won't let me learn martial arts again. I managed to get my mother to agree to me learning martial arts for three years. If I don't succeed this time , it is impossible for me to take the career of martial arts." Lin Xiu said seriously.

The two had introduced each other before, the literati atmosphere of the Lin family was much stronger than that of the Jiao family, Lin Xiu's choice required a lot of courage, and Jiao Shizhi admired him very much.What's more, he has only learned martial arts for three years and has achieved today's results, which proves that he is quite talented in martial arts, much better than Jiao Shizhi, but he has laid the foundation since he was five or six years old.

"This incident is also a surprise to me. You know what His Royal Highness asked me before. The imperial examination is no longer possible for me. His Royal Highness saved me. In fact, the person who should be most grateful is the Prince. Just be loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince." Jiao Shizhi said, not taking the credit for himself.For him, the prince is his benefactor.

Lin Xiu nodded.

After the two of them packed their things, it was time to rest, but it was the first night that neither of them felt sleepy, and instead sat in the hall and chatted.

While chatting and talking about the first day they met, Lin Xiu suddenly became excited and gesticulated, "You know, when you walked over, I almost thought you were a poet and poet from somewhere. Why did you come to participate in this competition, and you gave us a big surprise in the end." He said with a smile, looking very happy, "I rarely meet an opponent like you, so I am very happy. But your appearance that day is not the same as yours It's so different now that I barely recognize it in the morning."

Jiao Shizhi was a little suspicious when he heard the words, he looked at his clothes up and down, and said suspiciously: "But what's wrong?"

Lin Xiu quickly shook his head, "That's not the case. You were wearing a red dress that day, very, very very." He thought of several words to describe women, and finally came up with one that was quite appropriate, "Your eyes are picturesque." !"

Jiao Shizhi frowned. Although the term "picturesque eyebrows" is a relatively neutral term, it is often used to refer to women.

Seeing his complexion, Lin Xiu said cautiously: "Actually, you don't have to be angry. You really look good in red, but that's also your charm, which proves that you are outstanding in both civil and military skills."

Jiao Shizhi looked at Lin Xiu's appearance a little funny, and said softly: "I see, you don't have to worry." Some people do look better in certain colors of clothes than usual, and he doesn't usually like red, So it is rarely worn.Now that I know this, I won't wear it in the future.

Lin Xiu didn't expect Jiao Shizhi to make this decision, and the two said goodbye after talking again.

Jiao Shizhi lay down on the new bed, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. He was indeed sleepy, but the words he read today kept echoing in his consciousness.

It only took Jiao Shizhi a day to accept that he could see this thing.After all, there is nothing to do if you don't accept it, not to mention that you can only see the prince alone, so the problem is not too big.

But what he saw today was very different from what he saw before.He still remembered the content of the first two sentences, which were all negative comments, but although today's comments were endless, they were descriptions of the record.If according to his previous judgment, isn't it the future of His Royal Highness?

Jiao Shizhi doesn't know the prince well, but from the two things that he sneaked out of the palace and the selection of guards, it can be seen that he is a person who yearns for freedom and disregards the laws and regulations. As the heir to the imperial power, he should abide by and maintain these things Out of the box, but he looks more disgusted than anyone.If Zhu Houzhao is still like this after he ascended the throne, no wonder the historian commented so.

But Jiao Shizhi doesn't think this is completely wrong.

At least these three meetings made Jiao Shizhi admire. The prince is not a brainless person. Under such a person, as long as there is no trouble, nothing will happen.

It's just Liu Jin and others... He frowned. If he hadn't suddenly thought of Shou'er in his mind today, he would not have taken the initiative to persuade the prince to eat.This was supposed to be the responsibility of the personal servants, but none of the servants in the East Palace could do it, so even though Liu Jin seemed to be kind to them, Jiao Shizhi didn't like him.

Forget it, it's better to rest early, tomorrow is a new beginning.
