lustful

When Xiaobai heard Xiao Luan say this, he felt very uncomfortable.

He looked at Xiao Luan, silently speechless.He fiddled with his fingers lightly.

Xiao Luan said: "It's getting late, Your Majesty is going to court early."

Xiaobai froze for a moment.

His eyes looked at Xiao Luan.

"Brother Xiao, are you... driving me away?" He asked.

Xiao Luan said: "Why would I drive you away? You are the emperor, and you are about to go to court early."

How dare I drive you away, you are the emperor now.

Xiaobai stood up: "Tonight, Huo Huan will take a test of the candidates' paintings at the General's Mansion, you must come."

Xiao Luan looked at him in surprise: "You..."

Xiaobai said softly: "It's nothing if I avenge my wrongdoing for one person and take a test for candidates."

Xiao Luan was stunned for a moment, frozen in place without moving.

Xiaobai said, "Everything will be fine."

He said and ran out.

That night, more than 800 examinees in the capital gathered in the General's Mansion.

Huo Yunshan received four or five hundred paintings.

One examinee really didn't know how to draw, so he just drew a pig's head.

Xiaobai looked at the pig's head and smiled for a long time: "This candidate is also a talent."

Huo Yunshan said: "That doesn't count, just look at this."

Xiaobai saw that it was a doggerel, and he made it casually. It turned out that the examinee was here to take the imperial examination, and not everyone can draw.

If most people don't know it, they will stand down.

Some people wrote a poem on paper, most of which expressed their admiration for the talent of the king of Beizhou, as well as the shame that he could not paint and the regret that he could not see the king of Beizhou.

Some high-spirited people satirized the imperial court, made fun of the candidates, took the country's selection of scholars as a joke, and played with the candidates as a joke.

Xiaobai couldn't laugh or cry after seeing the pile of paintings and poems, as well as the pig's head.

"Whether it's paintings or poems, I'm illiterate and I don't have the ability to appreciate them." He laughed, "But I can know the temperament of some candidates."

He pointed to the blank test paper: "These people are honest people, but it's a pity that they can't become masters."

He pointed to the writer of the poems again: "These poems are well written, and they are well-mannered. It can be seen that they were born in a wealthy family and can do things."

He pointed at the one who scolded him again: "Well, I have to read his article before I say it. If he has the real ability to scold others, he is a national scholar. If he doesn't... then he is disgusted by others. The imperial court cannot keep such a person. '

He looked at the pig's head...

"This one……"

Huo Yunshan said: "He is probably hungry."

Xiaobai laughed: "These paintings are here, show them to brother Xiao. It would be great if you can find the murderer. If you can't find them, let him choose a few paintings you like. I will pay attention to the painters." If he fails the exam in the future, let him enter the palace and teach the princess how to draw."

Huo Yunshan said: "You are really considerate of him."

Xiaobai sighed: "I think he is really lonely, I..."

Huo Yunshan said: "The prince visits him every day to play, he is not alone."

Xiao Luan looked for it, looked at Xiaobai and shook his head: "No, I haven't seen that special brushwork."

He pointed to a painting and handed it to Xiaobai: "This painting is pretty good. Is it the younger brother of Mrs. Ruyi from last time?"

Xiaobai said: "Pick off the seal of your name and have a look."

Seeing what he said, Xiao Luan didn't shy away from it, and stretched out his hand to remove the seal.

It really was Tong Ping'an.

Xiaobai said: "It's amazing, Brother Xiao, I will not be able to learn your mastery of painting in this life and the next."

Huo Yunshan frowned: "There is no candidate, that is to say...not him?"

Xiao Luan said: "If it's really him, he is so good at painting, it's impossible not to come to such an occasion, maybe that candidate didn't come to the capital this year."

Did not come to the capital, that is to say, he did not come to take the exam.

Tong Ruyi never waited for that person again, it was someone else who killed her.

But who is going to kill her?

There are too many people who want to kill her, and after thinking about it carefully, it seems impossible.

Those men who take care of her business, their wives have long been used to it, how can they really kill people for such a thing?

Xiaobai said: "I'm going to ask her brother."

Xiao Luan said: "Her younger brother is about to take the imperial examination. If you ask him at this time, he will definitely not tell you the truth. What's more, their siblings don't have much contact with each other."

Brothers and sisters who are not in contact, what can you ask?

Maybe he never wanted to mention this sister again.

Xiaobai said: "No matter what, he is Miss Ruyi's younger brother, so there must be some clues."

Xiao Luan no longer argues with him

During dinner, the queen brought the child over and showed it to Xiao Luan.

The child was over one year old and was raised very well. He would laugh when seeing Xiao Luan, and he would not cry when strangers hugged him.

"It really looks like you." Huo Yunshan said.

Xiao Luan touched the child's face with his hand.

Xiaobai said, "You give him a hug."

Xiao Luan smiled wryly: "No, he doesn't know me well, I'm afraid he will cry."

Xiao Bai hugged the child and put it in his hands: "This child doesn't recognize his birth, it's fine."

Xiao Luan held the child, his hands trembling.

Huo Yunshan said: "The child likes you very much."

Xiao Luan smiled at him, but didn't speak.His eyes never left the child for a moment.

Xiaobai said: "The queen is tired of taking care of the princess and the prince. Tonight, the child will follow you, okay?"

Xiao Luan nodded.

He cautiously reached out and touched the child's nose.

The child smiled at him.

He also laughed.

Huo Yunshan said excitedly: "Seeing that you like children so much, I want a child too."

Xiaobai said: "Do you want a child?"

Huo Yunshan said, "Don't you think babies are cute?"

When they adopted Xue Pingyang, Xue Pingyang was the most fun time, able to jump up and down, full of curiosity, Xiaobai felt that a child of this age was just right.

But Huo Yunshan suddenly fell in love with the baby.

"It's very cute, but it's a pity I can't give birth!" Xiaobai said.

Xiao Luan couldn't help laughing: "You can't have children, you can adopt a child."

Huo Yunshan said: "Finding a suitable child is very troublesome!"

Xiao Luan said softly: "The child is very cute, even if he is not good-looking."

Huo Yunshan really moved his mind and wanted to find a child.

The next day, Xiaobai sent someone to find Tong Pingan to come into the palace.

The weather is getting cold.Huo Yunshan's ankles often hurt, he couldn't bear to let him go out to investigate the case in such a cold weather, and if there were any witnesses or material evidence, they would be passed on to the palace.

Because Tong Ping'an's home was far away from the palace, Huo Yunshan was a little bored waiting, so he slept on the desk.

Xiaobai pinched his ankle repeatedly.

"This injury has been with you for more than ten years, and it still hasn't healed." Xiao Bai said distressedly.

Huo Yunshan said: "It's not so easy for this painful injury."

The two were lying on their sides, when Yin Yuanshan knocked on the door and came in: "Yin Qiu has escaped!"

"Who is Yin Qiu?" Xiaobai was startled, "Prime Minister, what are you doing here in such a hurry?"

Yin Yuan's mountain was as big as a bucket: "It's a leader of the imperial army, he ran away with the son of the king of Beizhou!"
