happy rebirth

After the Mingguang banquet, Ke Qi went home alone in a carriage.

Obviously stole the limelight, but Ke Qi didn't feel the slightest complacency in his heart.He was able to escape unscathed today, and he also received praise from the emperor that the relationship between him and Xie Jinhua was a match made in heaven. The bottom line was that he had read the emperor's mind and scratched the emperor's itch.

It is because Ke Qi tried his best to cooperate with the emperor to achieve the emperor's goal, so he is the "gentleman of temperament" in the emperor's mouth, and he can leave a good story at the Mingguang Banquet.Otherwise, even if he breaks the sky, if a hat of despising the emperor's prestige and disobeying the imperial decree is taken off, he will be finished.

The so-called companionship is like companionship with a tiger, nothing more than that.

When Ke Qi arrived home, Xie Jinhua was not there.This is not the day of Xiumu, Xie Jinhua is still busy with official duties in the Chongwen Museum.Ke Qi felt a little tired.He was named on the gold list yesterday, and Mingguang hosted a banquet today. He was always in a state of excitement, and he didn't feel tired until he relaxed now.

Because of Xie Jinhua's experience of returning drunk from the Mingguang Banquet, Weizhen Pavilion has already prepared hangover soup and hot water.Ke Qi hardly drank much, and after taking a quick shower, he planned to lie down on the bed.He originally wanted to take a nap, but he didn't want to sleep through the night.

When Ke Qi woke up, probably because he was afraid that his eyes would be dazzled, there was only one lamp burning far away in the room.

Xie Jinhua took a shower, but his hair was not completely dry, and he was sitting under the lamp reading a book.

The orange candlelight imbued Xie Jinhua with an unreal tenderness, and the years were blurred at this moment.The so-called looking at beauties under the lamp, Ke Qi only felt a movement in his heart, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, which grew wildly like weeds in spring.

After getting the title on the gold list, it's time for the bridal chamber wedding night!

Ke Qi sat up.

"Are you awake? It's warm on the stove. Do you want porridge or noodle soup?" Xie Jinhua asked.

"I want to eat meat." Ke Qi blurted out subconsciously.

"It's getting late, and eating meat is not good for your health." Xie Jinhua said with a smile, "However, I asked someone to stew ribs soup for you. Have a bowl?"

"I drank a lot of broth, it's time to eat meat." Ke Qi muttered softly.

Xie Jinhua put down the book in his hand and went to serve the food himself.In addition to a small bowl of broth, there are sliced ​​steamed buns and two side dishes.Ke Qi's appetite must be more than that, but eating too much at night is not good for health.Although Ke Qi didn't eat dinner, Xie Jinhua didn't ask people to prepare a lot.

While Ke Qi was eating, Xie Jinhua sat aside and looked at him, and casually asked about the Mingguang Banquet.

At this moment, much news has not spread.Xie Jinhua didn't know that Ke Qi had also sprinkled dog food on the Bright Light Banquet, and Ke Qi, who had always said something in front of Xie Jinhua, didn't know how to speak for a while.He had done all the shameless things, but suddenly he felt embarrassed.

Ke Qi quickly lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of broth.

"I heard that the emperor took all the princes except the prince?" Xie Jinhua asked.

Ke Qi gave a "hmm" and said, "Brother Xie, something really happened today, if someone asks...you can tell them, I once swore to you that I would never give flowers to others in this life. If they ask, when did you make the oath, just say it was two years ago."

The confession must be correct, otherwise Ke Qi would have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Xie Jinhua was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "If someone really asked, then I would naturally answer this way. But when did you make such an oath?"

"I've always thought so in my heart." These are Ke Qi's sweet words, and they are all words from his heart, "And I can make it up for you right now. If you break your oath, I will be struck by lightning." As he spoke, Ke Qi put down his chopsticks, raised his right hand, and was about to swear by the sky.

Xie Jinhua stopped him quickly, and said in a joking tone: "This trivial matter will shock the world, and be careful to break your life. How about this, you quickly make a new oath, and you will only send flowers to me in the future. If it is violated I swear, I will tell you... that you will never be taller than me again."

Ke Qi, who managed to grow back the long legs from his previous life, felt that this vow was a bit poisonous.

Ke Qi couldn't help laughing.

"Say it quickly! Will you swear this oath?" Xie Jinhua was complacent, and asked him to catch Ke Qi's weakness, but he was not sure.

"Fa Fa Fa!" Ke Qi raised his right hand again.

Xie Jinhua was satisfied immediately, and said: "Okay, I was joking with you." In Xie Jinhua's view, the relationship between him and Ke Qi does not lie in the vows, but in their own hearts.So there is no need for Ke Qi to swear.Everything he said, as long as he said it, he believed it.

Moreover, Xie Jinhua is not the kind of person who only thinks about love in his heart.He didn't think there was anything wrong with asking Ke Qi to send flowers to others, it was a normal communication among literati to give flowers to each other.He couldn't bear to let Ke Qi be unlucky, so he stretched out both hands and grabbed Ke Qi's right hand, preventing Ke Qi from having the opportunity to swear to the sky.Ke Qi understood Xie Jinhua's intentions, so he simply followed Xie Jinhua's action, bowed his head and kissed the back of his hand, and said, "Brother Xie, you are so kind."

"In the future, don't just say you're going to swear. There are so many people in the world who will encounter so many things, so you have to leave room for yourself when you speak."

"I'm not afraid of anything, because Brother Xie is my whole world." Ke Qi has transformed into the glib Ke Xiaoshao.

Miss Xie was so teased that she was helpless.

The couple laughed for a while.Xie Jinhua pretended to be casual and asked: "Why does it involve vows or something?" Could it be that someone at the banquet showed great hospitality to Ke Qi and wanted to ask Ke Qi to send him flowers, but Ke Qi couldn't get away, so he had to make up How many lies that are not lies?

Ke Qi finished his supper, put away the bowls and chopsticks, and said, "It's hard to explain this matter."

Xie Jinhua only felt that his guess just now had come true.He really wanted to know who could have such... vision!But no matter how good that person's vision is, Ke Qi has his master.Xie Jinhua thought about the well-hidden "A Tale of a Good Fate", and wished that it would be staged the next day.

Ke Qi fetched water to wash up again, while Xie Jinhua got up to make the bed.

After lying on the bed, Ke Qi's thoughts began to grow wildly again.However, Xie Jinhua still has to go to work tomorrow.If it's nine to five like the later generations, it's fine, nine o'clock is not too early, even if the two of them make it through the night, they can always get up the next day.But Xie Jinhua's appointment time was very early, and he was about to go out just after dawn, so he should go to bed at this time.So, Ke Qi recited Buddhist scriptures in his heart and forced himself to sleep too.

Some news travels fast.

On the morning of the second day, Xie Jinhua still felt that everything was as usual.In the afternoon, he was teased by his colleagues in turn.

"Brother Wenxian, you and Ke Tanhua are really in harmony, which is enviable!" Someone said.This person is from the Hanlin Academy, but not from the Chongwen Academy.

Xie Jinhua thought about it, and still thought that someone was pestering Ke Qi at the Bright Light Banquet, so he felt that he could just take an oath of sovereignty by taking this opportunity, so he nodded and admitted with a smile, and said openly: "Why do you envy me and Ke Qi? Brother Ke, don't you and Mrs. Sister-in-law also have a deep love for each other?"

Because of Xie Jinhua's attitude, the love between him and Ke Qi was completely confirmed.

After being teased a lot, Xie Jinhua vaguely felt that something was wrong, and pulled Ye Zhengping to ask: "Brother Zhengping, do you know what happened at the Bright Light Banquet yesterday? Why did everyone..." Ye Zhengping was very surprised when he heard this , said: "Could it be that Brother Ke Xian hasn't told you yet?"

Ye Zhengping told the story in detail.

Xie Jinhua wished he could cover his face, and said, "It's like this..." If he had known the truth earlier, when he was being teased by everyone, he would definitely not have acted the way he did just now.But he was wrong, so just now he surrounded a large area like a puppy peeing.

Cody is so bad!

Two or three days later, the news about the Mingguang Banquet spread along with Emperor Kairui's praise of Tanhualang's beauty.Most of the old foxes in the officialdom are thinking about the emperor's intentions, and the common people can't control so much. Not long ago, the storyteller said that Ke Qi's answer papers in the palace examination amazed the emperor, and now he has added so much material all at once. Immediately Xingmu took a pat and talked about Ke Qi's love life.

Don't ordinary people just love to hear this?

Therefore, the whole capital is talking about how Ke Tanhua looks like a good girl, and how happy and happy the relationship between Ke Tanhua and Xie Liuyuan is.Xie San listened to the story outside, and when he came back, he repeated it to Ke Qi who was preparing for the imperial examination.Ke Qi pointed to his sharp-edged face and asked: "I am like this, with a face like a good girl? Which storyteller is talking nonsense? Isn't this forcing me to come and smash the place myself! Tell me the name of the teahouse. "

"That's what everyone says. Where is the source? It's no longer possible to test." Xie San said with a smile.

"Didn't many people on both sides of the street see me when the No. [-] scholar paraded through the streets? How could they still make up things?" Ke Qi was very depressed.

"When you were parading in the street, you were riding on a tall horse, and people could only look up to you. The sun was so bright at that time, and you were one-point beauty, and you could be seen by others. What's more, your No. [-] pick this year is not as good as you , you will be highlighted." Xie San comforted Ke Qi very carelessly, "Everyone said that the first six-song champion in history like the fourth brother is going to be matched by the number one beauty like you. Isn't it good?"

Ke Meiren was scorched by Lei Delinnen, and couldn't help but give Xie Sanhao a big roll of eyes.

When Xie Jinhua came back from the outside, seeing that Ke Qi was upset, he rolled his eyes and said deliberately: "It's all right now, people outside can't wait to rush into our house to see your uniqueness in the world. Beauties, Ke Di is so good, I will be the person they hate the most."

"You don't need to eat this kind of vinegar." Ke Qi said seriously, "The whole world has nothing to do with me, I only care about you."

Xie Jinhua: "..."

Ke Qi said bitterly: "In the end, you are still like an outsider, and you want to make fun of me."

Xie Jinhua said even more bitterly: "The whole world has nothing to do with you? You said two days ago that I am your whole world."
