Wen Xiangyanyu

The day after the announcement of the rankings, Wen Ying was invited to the Luming Banquet.

He is Jie Yuan, and also a guest of Prince Yu's residence, so he is the focus of everyone's attention. As soon as he appeared, countless pairs of eyes fell on him.

Being led to pay homage to the inner and outer curtain officials, Wen Ying's expression was always calm, although he was arrogant, but because of his outstanding looks, no one cared about him, but they thought he was a talented young man with such an appearance. It is right to be proud.

Several examiners arrived at the end, and with the sound of the announcement, all the examiners turned their eyes to the direction of the gate, and consciously stepped forward according to their rankings, greeted the examiners, and called them "Master".

This time the main examiner of the provincial examination is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. This person is in the same department as Lin Siye and is a good friend. He has heard him mention Wen Ying's name a long time ago, so this time I met someone, so I have to tell Wen Ying more. After a few words, I asked him about the situation at home, and encouraged him again.

There were also those who looked down on Wen Ying. One of the deputy chief examiners looked very cold when Wen Ying greeted him.

The deputy chief examiner was also an official of the Imperial Academy. He was a very noble person. He probably looked down on his behavior of joining the Yuwang Palace, not to mention that Ling Qiyan's reputation was not very good.

Wen Ying didn't take it seriously, he never cared what others thought of him.

There were not a few people who had the same thoughts as the deputy chief examiner, and some people even asked bluntly when they were drunk, why he became a visitor to Prince Yu's mansion.

The person who asked the question was a member of a noble family, who was also a student of the Imperial Academy, Wen Ying calmly glanced at him and said, "Your Highness is a good person, and I don't despise my humble background. I am willing to treat each other with sincerity and courtesy. "

The son of the aristocratic family had a half smile but not a smile: "It's true, Brother Wen is talented with his appearance, no wonder His Royal Highness King Yu values ​​him."

Although this person's ranking is not as high as Wen Ying's, he is still among the best, and he is considered promising among the noble families, so he is very arrogant and has obvious contempt and hostility towards Wen Ying. The word "appearance" seems to imply to everyone that this new Ke Jieyuan is serving people and flattering the powerful.

Wen Ying's complexion became lighter: "Your Highness loves talents, values ​​students, and is willing to be a student Bole. The students are very grateful."

His expression was too calm, which made the provocative aristocratic family feel bored, and even more annoyed that his demeanor was inferior, but in front of all the examiners, he finally held back and didn't say any more.

The rest of the people were all surprised when they heard what Wen Ying said. No one expected that Wen Ying would defend His Royal Highness Prince Yu in such a public way. Perhaps thinking that this Xie Yuanlang was young and knowledgeable, but knew nothing about court affairs, that's why he didn't shy away from matters with His Royal Highness King Yu. Once the imprint of King Yu was crucified, he entered I am afraid that the road after becoming an official will be difficult.

How could Wen Ying not know what these people were thinking, he poured the wine into his mouth without changing his face, and said no more.

Ling Qiyan went to the palace today, the queen mother specially asked him to go, Ling Qiyan guessed that it was probably for his marriage, as expected, he just sat down and had some refreshments, the queen mother directly mentioned this matter, The portrait of the young lady of the Lin family was shown to him, and she asked with a smile, "Does it look good? Grandma has seen it for you. This girl is good-looking, graceful, and has a good temper. He's too reserved, and he's an interesting guy."

Ling Qiyan bit the tea in his mouth and glanced at it casually. The little lady in the painting was indeed very beautiful, which fit his eyes, but...

"Grandmother, this little lady is from Duke Jing's mansion. With such a family, wouldn't it be eye-catching for me to marry her? I don't want to be pushed to the forefront."

The one who attracted the most attention was probably the crown prince. The emperor had personally helped Ling Qiyu decide on the candidate for the crown prince half a year ago. She was the granddaughter of the cabinet secretary. The wife gets married when she reaches fifteen.

But now, the Empress Dowager wants to marry the daughter of the hundred-year-old Zanying family to her, what does Ling Qiyu think?

The queen mother didn't take it seriously: "What family status? No matter how high the family status is, it can't compare to you. You are the eldest son of the emperor, and the first noble in the world."

"Then father will not agree..."

"I have spoken to your father, and he has no objection."

……really?

The queen mother poked Ling Qiyan's forehead with her finger, and taught him: "Do you think your father didn't point out this daughter of the Lin family to your second brother? Instead, he chose the granddaughter of Mr. Zhang Ge? A family like the Lin family is not in the court. The power is too great. Although your father thinks highly of them, he must use them, but he has to guard against them. Naturally, he will not let their daughter be the princess. Zhang Ge was always from a poor family, and he has come to this position step by step. Your father wants to use this to win over the poor families in the world and balance the power of the court."

Ling Qiyan muttered in a low voice: "Then why do you want me to marry the daughter of the Lin family?"

The queen mother sighed: "In the past, I always thought that if I choose a marriage that is not so eye-catching for you, you will be able to live in peace. I don’t know if you were unlucky or they were unlucky, but they didn’t make it in the end, and those two little ladies are gone, which dragged you down to gain the reputation of being a wife.”

"That's why I just thought about choosing the best door for you this time. Xihua is good in the first place. If you marry her, Yu'er will have to give your aunt face in the future and be merciful to your subordinates. It's a pity that you and If that girl doesn't get along, your aunt doesn't like it either."

"The identity of the daughter of the Lin family decided this time is indeed more eye-catching, but it's better to be eye-catching. I know you don't like to get involved in these things, and you just want to live a leisurely life. After a few years, grandma will be too old to move. Just tell your father, let you go to the fief in advance. If you are far away, you will no longer be in the eyes of others, and no one will miss you. Maybe Yu'er will always let you go in the future. Daughter of the Lin family, even if he wants to send you off, he has to think more carefully."

"Your father may not think so. After all, you are his son. When he made Yu'er the prince, he promised me that he would protect you no matter what. I will find a way to keep you safe in the future."

"As for those foreign ministers, you don't need to care about what they are muttering. The Duke Jing's mansion can survive for a hundred years. You must be able to understand it clearly. You won't have thoughts that you shouldn't have just because you married a daughter of their family. .”

The queen mother babbled on for a long time, Ling Qiyan couldn't hear it very well, she felt very uncomfortable, lowered her head, buried her head on the queen mother's knees, and said in a muffled voice: "Grandma loves me, in the future, grandma will really go to fief the land with me .”

The queen mother raised her hand and stroked his back: "Grandma can say such stupid things when she is angry with your father, but you can't say them, otherwise your father will listen to them and will annoy you even more."

Ling Qiyan snorted softly, just be annoyed, how often does his father annoy him?

Not interested in talking about this anymore, Ling Qiyan sat up straight, and casually mentioned to the Queen Mother about the fact that the doorman in his house took Zhong Jie Yuan, and the Queen Mother was very happy when she heard the words: "That kid is only 16 years old, and he got Zhong Jie Yuan?"

"No," Ling Qiyan was very proud, and when he talked about it, his eyebrows were beaming, as if he was the one who took the Zhongjie Yuan, "If he can win the first prize in the test, he will win five yuan in a row, and the big success will be the first!" One, the emperor will give him the champion no matter what."

"Huiyuan is not so easy," the queen mother didn't like it very much, and reminded him funnyly, "There are people outside the people. Those exams from the south are very good. They have won the Huiyuan in recent subjects. Yours Menke is only 16 years old, can he really have this ability?"

Ling Qiyan didn't take it seriously: "Grandmother just watch it, grandson believes that he has this ability."

"Okay, okay," the queen mother said with a smile, "you believe him, and grandma believes you are."

After spending a whole day in Ningshou Palace, Ling Qiyan resigned and left in the evening. Just as he walked out, he happened to run into Ling Qiyu who came to pay his respects.

Ling Qiyan didn't want to talk to him, so he walked away, but was stopped by Ling Qiyu.

There was a chill in Ling Qiyu's voice: "I heard people say that grandma plans to betroth Lin's daughter to elder brother?"

"You've heard a lot," Ling Qiyan said indifferently, "Is it related to you?"

Ling Qiyu looked at him coldly, his eyes made Ling Qiyan feel very uncomfortable, so he heard the kid say quietly: "That Gu congratulated the eldest brother in advance."

Ling Qiyan didn't want to waste any more words with him, so he left.

He and Wen Ying went back to the mansion one after another. Wen Ying just came back from the Luming Banquet and drank a little too much, but he never got drunk, but the expression on his stern face became tighter and his eyes brighter. The feast looks very interesting.

"Xie Yuanlang, how much wine did you drink at the Lu Ming Banquet? Why can't you even speak?"

Ling Qiyan intentionally teased him, and reached out to pinch his chin. Wen Ying sat on the couch in front of Ling Qiyan, pulled his hand down, and gently held it: "Your Highness cares about the students, and students are fine."

"Is the Luming Banquet fun?"

"It's not interesting, it's more interesting to play with His Highness."

Wen Ying looked at him with extremely hot eyes, Ling Qiyan had a burst of joy, and asked someone to serve him hangover soup.

After Wen Ying finished drinking, Ling Qiyan pulled him onto the couch again, lay down on his legs as a pillow, and squinted his eyes comfortably.

Wen Ying lowered his eyes and stared at him intently, stroking his temple hair with his fingers.

Ling Qiyan rubbed against his palm, and said casually: "The king is going into the palace today, and the queen mother said that he will marry him, and the decree should be issued before the end of the month."

Wen Ying's hand on his temples stopped, his throat tightened, he was silent for a while, and asked in a hoarse voice: "...Is that so? Which family's young lady is it?"

Ling Qiyan yawned: "Duke Jing's Mansion, have you heard of it? That girl Xihua's husband also belongs to that family."

"Is Your Highness happy?"

"It's nothing to be happy or unhappy about. Anyway, sooner or later we're going to get married. Grandmother must have picked the best one for me," Ling Qiyan said and laughed again. "The little lady is said to be good-looking and has a good temper. Don't talk to me. Xihua is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."

Wen Ying didn't answer any more, Ling Qiyan still leaned on him, and muttered a few words. He didn't hear Wen Ying's utterance for a long time, and noticed something strange. He raised his eyes, but saw Wen Ying leaning back, Close your eyes.

Ling Qiyan's fingers poked on his chest: "Why did you fall asleep before dinner?"

He poked a few times in a row, but Wen Ying grabbed his hand, and before he wanted to say something, the man suddenly turned over and pressed down, breathing closer, the tip of his nose pressed against his, and Ling Qiyan could almost smell his slightly heavy breathing. Out of alcohol.

Wen Ying's eyes were dark and bottomless, hiding emotions that Ling Qiyan could not understand, which inexplicably made him feel uncomfortable, so he said ferociously: "...you are not allowed to look at me like this. "

Wen Ying rubbed his waist with his hands, and every time he rubbed it, Ling Qiyan softened.

Ling Qiyan raised his foot and kicked him: "Let go of me, it's not dark yet, I'm still hungry, don't touch me."

Wen Ying tried his best to suppress the dark thoughts in his heart that he was about to be unable to restrain himself and break out of the shackles. He clenched his fists and then slowly released them. He closed his eyes and got up from Ling Qiyan.

Ling Qiyan took advantage of the situation and kicked him again: "Asshole."

baffling.

At night, after serving Ling Qiyan to change clothes and freshen up, Wen Ying resigned and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ling Qiyan: "Why are you running, it's still early, what time is it?"

Wen Ying told him coldly: "Students will start studying again tomorrow, so they have to go to bed earlier."

"Then it's still very early, I don't allow you to sleep, so you stay with me." Ling Qiyan looked confident.

Wen Ying stopped talking and just looked at him expressionlessly.

Seeing the coldness in his eyes, Ling Qiyan's expression gradually sank: "Do you dare not listen to my king?"

After a moment of stalemate, Wen Ying asked him suddenly: "In the eyes of His Highness, a student is just a tool to make His Highness amuse, is it the same for others?"

Ling Qiyan was annoyed: "What's wrong with you again? Did you deliberately make fun of me? Why do you ask so many questions?"

He couldn't help but frown as he spoke? ... for someone else?I still don't want it, his majestic His Royal Highness King Yu, how can anyone just take advantage of him.

"Your Highness is about to get married. Do you think it's appropriate to hang out with students like this all day long?"

Ling Qiyan, who was accused of licentiousness, was immediately annoyed: "You are presumptuous! Why is this king so licentious? There is not a single maid in this king's house! This king is the only guest who enters the curtain, and you still get me, you How dare you say that this king is licentious!"

The more Ling Qiyan thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. Without waiting for Wen Ying to say anything more, he stretched out his foot and kicked him, accusing him: "You are licentious! Every time I yell to stop, you won't stop! You are like a beast, you have the nerve to call me! You a bastard..."

After the world turned around, Ling Qiyan was carried on Wen Ying's shoulders. He was startled, struggled subconsciously, and was thrown onto the bed by Wen Ying.

Ling Qiyan came back to his senses, angry and annoyed, kept kicking and beating, and yelled: "You are so brave! How dare you treat me like this! This king will never forgive you!"

Wen Ying's eyes were filled with coldness, without saying a word, he pulled his belt hard, tore off his clothes, pulled down the bed curtain, and lowered himself down.
