Chapter 55

Xie Qi was stunned.

He raised his eyes blankly, facing the smiling eyes of the person beside him.

Su Yanzhao has always been gentle, rarely showing negative emotions on the outside, at least in most of the time Xie Qi saw, those beautiful eyes were always calm, sometimes with some deep hidden depths.

Instead of what it is like now, full of clearly visible smiles, and... a little bit of indulgent warmth.

The cool lips were about to leave at the touch, and the smooth forehead leaned forward a little greedily, and moved forward with unsatisfied desire after trying to pursue the target.

The two got close, and Xie Qi's breathing was brought on a bit more quickly, spraying on the skin next to Su Yanzhao's ear, bringing out a bit of ambiguity.

"I can think... is this implying something?" Xie Qi's eyes were bright, and he leaned into the ear of the person beside him and said.

Su Yanzhao hooked the corners of her lips, and also lowered her head to whisper in the young man's ear.

"It's okay to think it's express."

elated.

Xie Qi couldn't find another word to describe his mood at the moment.

It seems that the long-cherished wish that has been pursued for many years has finally been fulfilled, and the ecstasy that has finally come to fruition after all the hardships.

"Have I passed the light?"

Forcibly holding back the breasts of the person in front of him who kissed fiercely, Xie Qi raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice.

He even thought about a lot in a flash, such as whether this relationship is made public, whether it is for or against the civil and military attitudes of the Manchu Dynasty, such as the ceremony of forming a contract that belongs exclusively to him and Su Yanzhao, and even more far-reaching solutions to the seven-year itch effective way.

But all of this can only be extended after a definite answer has been obtained.

After finally waiting for the person in front of him to reply with a clear attitude, he couldn't let go of Su Yanzhao easily.

"If Ah Qi wanted to beat the gongs and drums and shout a few times at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, no one would stop him." The joke-like words were regarded as an affirmative answer in another sense.

"Well……"

Su Yanzhao raised his head slightly, slightly relieving Xie Qi's approaching force, feeling a fierce gnawing on his lips, and hummed softly.

Yun Yi, who was waiting outside, failed to bring His Majesty back to the palace before the key was released.

On the day of the test, Xie Qi arrived at the prime minister's mansion early, changed into a very ordinary attire, and followed the prime minister's chariot.

Yun Yi almost didn't notice his Majesty's whole body covered in pink bubbles.

After somehow delaying his return to the palace that day, Xie Qi was in an unprecedented state of excitement, but unfortunately there were not many people in the palace who were qualified to share the joy in his heart.

This excitement had nowhere to vent, and it lasted to a rather serious level.

Specific performance?

For example, His Majesty now just looks at Su Xiang and does nothing else, and can giggle for a long time.

In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the place where the test was held. As soon as the carriage stopped, Xie Qi didn't want anyone to help him.On the contrary, he jumped down nimbly and reached out his hand to Su Yanzhao who was about to get off the chariot.

The accompanying people didn't recognize Xie Qi, and saw that their master was friendly with him along the way, so they didn't dare to stop them, they just silently watched Su Yanzhao shook his head helplessly, but when he got off the chariot, he still tried to save face.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of being recognized?" Su Yanzhao looked at Xie Qi's smug face, and chuckled.

He originally thought that after he had promised and thanked him, the little emperor who had coveted him for a long time would eagerly declare his ownership, so he had already thought up some words of rejection.

Unexpectedly, Xie Qi was contented and happy. After that day, he had to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion or the Lizheng Hall to spend time with him every day. He didn't seem to be deeply obsessed with making it public.

However, the person next to him doesn't care about everything, for example, he will have an exam today, and he clearly doesn't do his business, so he has to dress up as a doorman and follow.

On the surface, it is said that it is necessary to participate more in witnessing the major events of the country, but what is the plan actually...

I just wanted to rely on him a little more.

Facing Su Yanzhao's teasing gaze, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile, Xie Qi was not afraid at all, and said with a smile, "I'm a private visit to observe the people's sentiments, and pay attention to the imperial examination by the way, so why not be recognized?"

"It's up to you."

Su Yanzhao ignored him no more, and only concentrated on walking towards the center where the examination was held.

He is not the chief examiner here, so the time for inspection is not too early. At least when Su Yanzhao arrived at the examination room, the first session of the examination was already halfway through.

Cao Shengxiang greeted him from afar, and bowed in salute; "I have seen Prime Minister Su."

After Xie Qi's restoration, the Jinling officialdom was cleaned up, and many high positions were vacated. After several discussions in the Lizheng Hall, many Beijing officials with excellent official reputations and years of experience were promoted. Cao Shengxiang was one of them.

He and Su Yanzhao were in the same batch of Scholars, but they had only emerged now, and they were used to being cautious. After seeing the ceremony, their eyes were very regular and they didn't look around.

"Cao Shangshu." Su Yanzhao bowed his hand in return, but looked at the situation around the examination room.

The conditions of the Tribute Court where the examinations were held in the Qi Dynasty had always been poor, no matter how prominent the candidates who participated in the imperial examinations were, whether they were well-known or not, they were all treated equally.

A small room that can only be turned around by one person, three days' worth of food, water and dry food, and a small case that I don't know how long it has been used for.

Da Qi's generations of virtuous ministers and good ministers all came out of this tribute courtyard.

After a cursory look, seeing that Cao Shengxiang was still standing there without moving, Su Yanzhao smiled politely and said, "Shangshu Cao, the truth is, I just came to the examination room to see if the situation of the examination is normal, and I will return in a moment."

"Su Xiang will do as he pleases, and the next official will go to inspect the examination room first." Hearing the meaning of not needing company, Cao Shengxiang nodded, and left immediately.

Xie Qi, who had been lowering his head to avoid his eyes, let out a long sigh of relief.

Su Yanzhao searched for a while among the candidates who were answering the question, but he didn't see Su Yizhi, so he didn't care too much, he just turned his head and said to Xie Qi, "Didn't you say you wanted to go to Qihuang Pavilion for dinner? I will accompany you there later." .”

Su Yanzhao has always been very careful about lovers who have already recognized their relationship.

I will remember Xie Qi's words and deeds intentionally or unintentionally, and try my best to satisfy a certain little emperor who is always greedy.

Xie Qi's attention was rarely distracted by the food hook.

Looking at the crude conditions in the examination room, he frowned indistinctly.

"That's what Jingzhi looked like when he took part in the test? But your body..."

Knowing what Xie Qi was thinking, Su Yanzhao raised his eyebrows and explained casually; "Da Qi's ancestral system is like this. The examination room has been inconvenient for many years, and it can be regarded as a hurdle that future pillars of the court must pass before entering the officialdom. People who are on the list when the test is revealed will never fail the palace test, not many people really care about this."

Having said that, Xie Qi took another look at the mottled case under the man who was closer to him, but he still couldn't accept it.

Knowing that it doesn't help much to be entangled with these things now, his thoughts simply diverged and he thought of other things.

"Speaking of which, in Chong'an's 31-year imperial examination, Jingzhi won the first place in the general examination, but was second in the imperial examination. Who was the number one scholar that year?"

Xie Qi looked at Su Yanzhao very curiously, and asked the question that he had held back for a long time.

Su Yanzhao was born in a noble family, he was famous for his talent when he was young, and he has a very good personal relationship with Xie Min and Xie Xuan. It is not surprising that he won the award at a young age.

The palace examination was full of changes, and the top ten were hand-picked by the emperor, so no one was sure that the number one scholar would be in his pocket.

What made Xie Qi puzzled was that the person who overwhelmed Jing Zhi of his family seemed to be unknown, at least he himself had never heard of it.

Su Yanzhao paused for a while when he was mentioned the trifles of the past, but still opened his mouth to explain Xie Qi's confusion.

"It's far away in the sky and close in front of you, His Majesty has only seen it before."

"Huh?" Before Xie Qi could finish his question, he was distracted by the strange movement in the distance.

Not far away, a patrolling soldier violently lifted a plain-looking man, accompanied by the sound of a table falling to the ground.

The half of the tape hidden in the sleeve was found. Under the autumn sun, the densely packed small characters on the rice paper were particularly dazzling.

The author has something to say: Su Xiang's last stubbornness disappeared.

For the first time in the future, what... the stroller or Maserati, this is a question.
