ex husband always trying to get me pregnant

Xia Yan looked at Cheng Xi in surprise: But it's just such a trivial matter, is it worth your life to guarantee it? !

Su Lan'er presented the homework to Emperor Jianping with red eyes, stood on the field with folded hands, and recited it out of mouth.Surrounded by silence, the voice of her crying just now was aggrieved and indignant, quite a bit of generosity and elegy.

Emperor Jianping stared at the homework page by page, Longyan listened calmly for a while, then raised his hand and said: "It's done."

Su Lan'er stopped, glanced sideways at Xia Yan, pinched the handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, looking pitiful.

Xia Yan didn't take it seriously, and snorted coldly: "How long did it take you to memorize it? It was hard work."

Su Lan'er stared at her red and swollen eyes, and said softly, "That's my homework, and you're yelling and chasing after the thief!"

Xia Yan curled her lips and rolled her eyes, muttering, "I don't know who is calling for a thief."

The guard sent to collect the evidence came back, presenting a black hair scarf with the words "Zhan Bafang" embroidered on one corner.

Su Lan'er congratulated Emperor Jianping, "Your Majesty, I found this thing in the corner of my desk. Everyone knows that this is the standard scarf worn by the guards in the palace, with names embroidered on it. The guard of the Fourth Highness must have stolen my homework for the Fourth Highness, and accidentally left it behind during the action!"

Xia Yan asked, "When did you find out?"

Su Laner said: "Three days ago."

Xia Yan raised his eyebrows, "I found out three days ago, why did I say it today?"

Su Lan'er said: "At that time, I found that I lost my homework, and found this scarf, and I wanted to ask, but..." After a pause, he made a gesture of giving up, "Well, to be honest, I really did I have already guessed, I didn’t say it in advance, I just wanted to take advantage of today’s public to accuse me of grievances, so that everyone can see your evil deeds, Your Highness Fourth! If I had asked you at that time, it would have to be made into a small matter, and a small matter into nothing, After all, you are the prince."

Xia Yan thought it was okay, adding some careless thoughts to herself would make the matter more real.

He gathered himself together, took a deep breath, stepped forward and said, "Father, Bafang is my private guard. He has not entered the palace formation. Although he was issued a uniform in the palace, he has never worn it. On the one hand, it’s hard to notice if something is missing occasionally. Furthermore, Zhen Bafang’s martial arts skills are extremely high, and he is very cautious in doing things. If you really want to break into the house and steal it, you will not leave clues because of panic.”

Su Lan'er scoffed immediately, "Sometimes he said he didn't notice something was missing, and another moment he said he was cautious. His Highness is too contradictory."

Xia Yan rolled his eyes again, "I don't pay much attention to the little things in life, and I am extremely cautious in doing things, why not?" She cupped her fists and bowed, with a firm expression, "Father, I have been away from the palace for ten days recently. There are no other guards and attendants, so it is very likely to be stolen."

Su Lan'er frowned and wanted to argue, but Emperor Jianping raised his hand again, showing a little irritability, and said, "Xiao Cheng Aiqing, what do you think?"

Cheng Xi, who had been watching the battle, stepped forward and said again: "Reporting to the emperor, the homework of the Fourth Highness is written by myself. I have seen it with my own eyes, so there is no mistake."

Su Lan'er said: "Your Majesty, if Master Xiao Cheng teaches the Fourth Highness to study, he may cover him up! His testimony is not sufficient!"

The person who was thinking of marrying just now suddenly became the target of accusations, and everyone was puzzled and amused.

Emperor Jianping ignored her, only looked at Cheng Xi, and asked, "Little Cheng Aiqing, how do you think the evidence in Lan'er's hands should be explained?"

Cheng Xi said calmly: "Your Majesty, when I tried several cases in Qingzhou, I thought that the so-called witnesses and material evidences were only one side, and sometimes they were only appearances, and could even be faked. If only witnesses and material evidences are used to convict, it is very likely that there will be serious consequences. Unjust, false, and wrongly decided cases. Officials must be thorough in their handling of cases when they try and handle cases. Motives, evidence, results, and even local customs and the temperament and preferences of those involved are all indispensable."

Many courtiers at the table nodded in agreement. Emperor Jianping said "reasonable" and said: "The nature of this matter is either big or small, but the method is careless. Trouble. Xiaocheng Aiqing, you can settle the case on the spot and settle it within a stick of incense. There are too many trifles in a good hunt."

Cheng Xi respectfully said: "My minister obeys the order."

The holy will was very obvious, but Su Lan'er still didn't realize it, she pouted stubbornly, "Your Majesty, Lord Xiaocheng is also involved in the case, is it not appropriate to let him decide the case?"

Emperor Jianping waved his hand and said solemnly: "I and all the ministers are watching, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to play tricks."

Su Lan'er was taken aback, feeling a little flustered in her heart.

Cheng Xi said: "Then let's talk about the motivation first." Looking at Su Lan'er, "Miss Su, why do you think the Fourth Highness wants to steal your homework?"

Su Lan'er said: "Naturally it's because I'm lazy, I don't want to work hard, I want to fool the emperor."

Cheng Xidao: "Since that's the case, wouldn't it be more convenient to let your subordinates write it for you?"

Su Lan'er said: "Where can I read the things written by the people below? Submit it to the emperor, and the emperor might be even more angry."

Cheng Xi said: "Then why don't you steal the articles of His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Second Prince? Such articles, the emperor will definitely be delighted to read them."

Su Lan'er scoffed, "The question is just too good, the emperor knew at a glance that it was not something His Royal Highness could write."

"That's right." Cheng Xi nodded, "It seems that if His Highness the Fourth Highness really wants to steal articles, he must choose someone who is at the same level as himself, or only slightly better, right?"

"Exactly." Su Lan'er's mind flashed, and she said in surprise, "Yes, you have read my article, could it be that you suggested that His Royal Highness steal me?!" , To actually find a reason that can just support myself and catch the opponent all at once, I feel it is a great surprise.

"This suspicion is justified." Being accused, Cheng Xi did not deny it in a hurry, but just smiled lightly, "As Miss Su said, I know the depth of knowledge between His Highness Fourth Highness and Miss Su, if His Highness is more knowledgeable than Miss Su Gao, then there is no need for him to steal Miss Su's article, right?"

Su Lan'er suddenly came to her senses, and hurriedly said: "If he is in a hurry, he doesn't care about his level?"

"It also makes sense." Cheng Xi babbled, waiting for her words, smiled confidently, and looked around, "Then it can be proved otherwise. If Miss Su can't write articles of today's level at all, this matter can't be ignored." Attack yourself."

Su Lan'er was taken aback, feeling as if she was being guided around a big pit, her mind was dizzy, and finally she jumped into it voluntarily.

Cheng Xi turned around, bowed deeply to the front, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please ask the question on the spot, so that His Royal Highness and Miss Su can answer it. You can tell right from wrong at a glance."

During the banquet, Su Lan'er sighed in a low voice, and Concubine Li looked at Emperor Jianping nervously.

Emperor Jianping said: "Yes, I will write the question myself."

The chief eunuch offered pens and inks, and Emperor Jianping raised his sleeves and waved his pens, and put down his brushes heavily.Lift it up and show it down, and you can see that the imperial pen is vigorous and majestic, with the word "conscience" written on it.

"Within two moments, write an essay based on it. Afterwards, pass it on once, and then hand it over to the six ministers for common judgment."

Immediately, two desks were set up in the martial arts arena, Xia Yan and Su Lan'er sat separately, studied ink and picked up a pen to answer the paper.

Xia Yan wears light armor and holds a pen holder. He has become a young man with both civil and military skills. His brows are sometimes furrowed and sometimes stretched, and he is rarely serious about it;

Surrounded by silence, Emperor Jianping sipped tea patiently, everyone looked at the field for a while, and looked at the dripping copper pot for a while, feeling a little anxious like a scientific research.

The two quarters came soon, and the answer sheet was presented to Emperor Jianping first. Emperor Jianping looked at it and looked up at Cheng Xi.The ministers and the emperor's relatives did the same when they read it, almost everyone read the article first, and then Cheng Xi.Cheng Xi was baffled, and it was only when the article came into his hands that he suddenly realized: it turned out that Xia Yan quoted the sentences he had written when writing the article, and also noted it in detail at the bottom.

His heart felt warm, and he turned his head to look at Xia Yan. The guy looked forward calmly, as if nothing had happened.

The six ministers were the last to read, and after some discussion, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials came out and reported: "The emperor and the ministers thought that the writing of the four princes is fluent, the reasoning is rigorous, the examples are popular, and there are aphorisms, but the literary talent and ingenuity are slightly inferior, so it can be rated as Upper and lower class, which is better than the homework on "The Book of Songs" I just saw; Miss Su's writing is blunt, the language is simple, and there are some stumbles. There is still a lot of difference from the homework on the "Book of Songs."

Xia Yan Youyou followed: "There are still advantages, for example, if you recite it, you can recite it very well."

There were mixed smiles during the banquet, Su Lan'er bit her lips with shame and anger, Concubine Li got up and quickly stepped forward, plopped down on Emperor Jianping's knees, and called out: "The emperor calm down! Lan'er is still a child, she is ignorant, she The reason for doing this is entirely because I saw His Highness the Fourth Highness often showing favors to Lord Xiaocheng, and I was afraid that Lord Xiaocheng would be deceived, so I lost my head for a while! Please forgive me and forgive her once! The concubine will definitely punish her when she returns. , I promise she will never do it again!"

Su Lan'er knelt down and knelt down, crying loudly.

I don't know how many times there was an uproar in the audience, Xia Yan said incredulously: "What kind of seduction?! You can't frame me once, how can you slander me?!"

Concubine Li Gui stood up and looked at Xia Yan, and said with pain in her heart: "Fourth Highness, Lan'er will not compete with you for Mrs. Xiao Cheng, your lord has a lot, let her go, and Mrs. Xiao Cheng too, deceitful temptation, In the end, you will harm others and yourself!"

"What are you talking about?! What do you want to do?! Where did I offend you?!" Xia Yan was furious, full of anxiety and grievance, his head was buzzing, his hands were clenched and then loosened and clenched again, just want to find face The wall kicked happily for a while.

Cheng Xi came to his side, covered his trembling and icy knuckles secretly with his wide sleeves, then stepped forward and bowed, and said firmly: "Your Majesty, the matter is definitely not what the imperial concubine and empress said. My minister taught four During His Highness's schooling, His Highness has always been well behaved, but it is..." He bowed lower, took a deep breath, and looked determined, "On the contrary, it is my humble minister who has been in love with the Fourth Highness for a long time, and is more proactive in showing love, but... ...The Fourth Highness has already sternly rejected this humble minister."

Everyone gasped, but Cheng Xi was very calm and calm, and said again: "I really don't know why the imperial concubine and Miss Su had such a misunderstanding. In short, the Fourth Highness has never done anything wrong and should not be punished This is an innocent injustice, please don't bother His Highness any more, and let all kinds of entanglements be directed at this humble minister."

Concubine Li Gui and Su Lan'er's cries stopped abruptly, Xia Yan was dumbfounded, looking at Cheng Xi's broad and beautiful back, his eyes shook violently, and he just wanted to faint.
