In mid-spring, Li Jin was sweating profusely.The seven or eight guards who followed him were all dressed in Hu clothes and thin boots, and kept pulling their collars to keep cool.Li Jin didn't even enter the house, so he sat down on the steps outside, straightened his legs, took the tea bowl that the princess handed him, and drank three bowls in one go before giving up.

"You don't have to follow me, go and rest." Li Jin ordered the guards, and then said to his wife: "Now the house is desolate, I have wronged you."

Princess Xiao is the niece of Li Jin's mother's natal family, and Li Jin and Li Jin can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and they have the most open sex.She gathered up her dress and sat on the steps with Li Jin, saying: "What are you talking about, my husband? It's rare to have a good time playing golf. Now we should drink two jugs of good wine to celebrate."

Li Jin threw away the cue, hugged her in his arms, and sighed: "Drinking is a waste of time. When the future is stable, I have to drink two pots. I'm not here this year, thank you for your hard work."

Xiao didn't hesitate at all, leaned on his shoulder with peace of mind, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty didn't make things difficult for us. The Imperial Forest Army who is in charge of us is always convenient. Weiyang Residence often sends some fresh things in the palace, except If you don’t have freedom and you can’t go out, it doesn’t make much difference.”

"Your Highness, I know that you will definitely not be content with mediocrity when you come back." Xiao Shi looked at the swallows flying around in the courtyard with him, and said, "I don't know what to do now. I just want to advise Your Highness, you chose the wrong one." Once, His Majesty is magnanimous, we still have good days to look forward to. If we choose wrong again, what should we do?"

Li Jin was silent, speechless for a while.Over the past year, it has been extremely hard to suppress bandits in Lingnan.He wanted to come back wholeheartedly, but now that he really came back, it was another mess.

How could he not know how powerful Xiao Shi's words were?But his own foundation is the shallowest, and it is reasonable not to act rashly.

The two leaned on each other, Li Jin only felt that the love for the flowers was really superficial.He couldn't help but think of his seventh younger brother Li Yu. He lost his most beloved person, and he was afraid that he would die of pain.And how lucky is he to be like Lang Huai Mingda?

Cherish the people in front of him, these five words popped up in Li Jin's mind, he couldn't help tightening his arms, and suddenly felt that the future of his position, how could it be as important as the safety of the people around him?

Just as he was thinking about it, the inner eunuch of the mansion trotted over and said with a smile: "Your Highness, His Highness Duke Huai has engraved a plaque and brought it here, do you think you should hang it up now?"

Li Jin frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied with being disturbed, but he still let go of his hands and said to Xiao Shi: "Go and rest, I'll go and have a look." Finally, he said: "Relax, now after such a long By the way, I have a measure."

Xiao Shi could see the confidence and relief in his eyes, so she was relieved and went back to the inner courtyard to take care of the affairs of the county prince's mansion.Li Jin straightened his clothes a bit, and led the way to the gate with the little inner eunuch.

Of course Li Qian didn't come in person, instead he invited the housekeeper, and not only presented a plaque, but also twenty servant girls.

"Fourth Brother Lao, don't worry. As a younger brother, I have to ask Fourth Brother to help me." Li Jin knew that there must be Li Qian's eyes and ears here, so he didn't refuse, and let him arrange. He looked at the plaque again, and said in surprise: It's written by the fourth brother?"

The butler replied: "Yes, Your Highness said that you have returned to Chang'an now, and I am afraid that this plaque will be replaced in a few days. Please don't mind his trivial tricks!"

"How could it be!" Li Jin shouted: "Quick, hang up for me!"

After inviting the butler to pass the mansion, Li Jin sat down in the outer study, "You can also see that there is nothing in this king's place. I will personally go to the fourth brother's mansion to thank you when I am rested and comfortable. I will always remember his thoughts." In my heart, we all grew up together, it's hard for him to miss me all the time."

The chief steward had a happy expression on his face, and said what His Royal Highness Huai Wang had given him, and then he took his leave and left.

Li Jin's face was cold, and he thought that he didn't want to go through this muddy water, and others couldn't help him!

Half a month later, Chun Wei released the announcement, Lang Huai and Ming Da accompanied Lang Heng Shang Ziyi to watch it, it was very lively.

Lang Heng knew that he would not win, but he was calm, and he should come out to play and breathe.But Shang Ziyi is unavoidably worried about gains and losses, whispering something with Shang Zixuan all the way, so nervous.

They came early, but the Imperial College was full of people.Lang Huai firmly protected Mingda by his side, and couldn't help crying and laughing: "What are we doing? Ask someone to ask the Ministry of Rites for a copy and wait at home?"

Mingda was also annoyed by being squeezed, but she had never experienced such a scene before, she just found it novel, and said, "Let's take a look."

"Where's Heng'er?" Lang Huai simply stretched out his arms and hugged her in front of his chest. Looking up again, Lang Heng had already made it to the front row because of his young age and stature.

On the contrary, Shang Ziyi, even though he was still a child, still knew that Shang Zixuan was waiting outside the crowd and did not squeeze in.

"Heng'er has little experience after all." Lang Huai sighed and said, "When the filial piety period is over, it is reasonable to let him go out more."

While speaking, the gate of the Imperial College finally opened, and a few small officials came out with the list.There were guards separating the crowd, and those people had already begun to smear paste and paste the list.

The martial arts are posted first, and then the texts are posted.Lang Huai hugged Mingda and squeezed to the front. Looking at it, the top three in the Wu Ju were only 40 or [-] names. Presumably there were not many people who took the exam.The list of Wenju is a bit longer, about [-] people.Before Lang Huai saw anything, Lang Heng was already bluffing and shouting loudly: "Ziyi! You've won! You've won!"

Some of the crowd were happy and some were sad.However, this is just the list of the top three, and the final ranking will not be confirmed until after the palace examination tomorrow.But Shang Ziyi still didn't believe it. After all, he was only 12 years old, so he felt that it was impossible for him to pass the exam.

When the crowd gradually dispersed, Shang Ziyi ran over and looked at each stroke carefully. Wasn't the second last one his name?

He turned his head, looked at Shang Zixuan beside him with red eyes, grinned, and said, "Sister, I passed the exam."

In the evening, there will be a small banquet in Mu Gong's mansion, in order to wish Shang Ziyi a victory in the palace test tomorrow and get a good ranking.Lang Huai deliberately poured him two more glasses, Shang Ziyi left the table early and went to bed, Shang Zixuan fed him a bowl of hangover soup before leaving.

Back in the side hall, Lang Huai Mingda was waiting for her.After Shang Zixuan came in, he saluted Lang Huai first, and said, "Shangguan thanked Duke Mu for his kindness."

Lang Huai accepted her gift, then helped her to sit down with his own hands, and said solemnly: "Sister Shang, I promised you once that I will help you, cleanse uncle's grievances, and preserve the true blood of Shangguan."

"Whether this is a chance or not, I don't know now." Lang Huai looked into her eyes and whispered, "I will be there for the palace exam tomorrow, please rest assured, Sister Shang. Since you are from my Duke Mu's mansion, It's fine for Qi'er to admit it openly. If you arouse the suspicion of Shangguan Yuan, this is your chance!"

Shang Zixuan had mixed feelings for a moment, sat in the chair, stroked his forehead and said, "I can't justify my father's wrong in this lifetime, if I have the chance, what if I wait for decades?"

Seeing that she was sad, Mingda took her hand, and comforted her softly: "Ah Huai's intention this time is to get rid of Shangguan Yuan, but I'm afraid it will hurt that child, so I have to take it easy. But sister Don't worry, why wait for decades? In the future when the elder brother ascends the throne, it will be a matter of time before the case is overturned."

Shang Zixuan knew that Mingda might have known about his life experience a long time ago, but she never showed any other expression on her face. After her persuasion, many years of backlog would inevitably be revealed, so she just leaned on Mingda's shoulder and sobbed softly.

After a while, she finally came to her senses, looked up, Lang Huai had gone out, only Ming Da was in front of her, wiping her tears with a silk scarf.Seeing pity in her eyes, but no sympathy, Shang Zixuan took Mingda's hand and said: "Good girl, I can't blame Ah Huai for loving you so much. If I were a man, I'm afraid I can't escape."

Ming Da blushed, and said: "Sister, go back and rest, and wait for the good news at home tomorrow!" She was happy in her heart, but she thought that no matter what status Lang Huai had, he had to love herself.

Although they went to Daming Palace together, Lang Huai had to separate from Shang Ziyi at Danfengmen.When she was parting, she patted Shang Ziyi on the head and said, "You are much stronger than me. I was 17 the first time I entered the Hanyuan Palace. How old are you?"

Being teased by her like this, Shang Ziyi immediately relaxed and said with a smile: "Brother Huai, am I better than you?"

Lang Huai smirked and said, "Of course it is. Well, the time has come, let's go."

Shang Ziyi responded, ran to the inner prison where the tributes were being escorted, checked his identity, and walked in slowly with the team.He looked back, Lang Huai had already entered the palace with another team.

The sky was not yet bright, and the Hanyuan Hall not far away was brightly lit, as if it were the morning sun.Shang Ziyi is the youngest in Gongshili this time, the young man behind him looked at him curiously several times, and said, "I'm Zhang Anren in Yizhou, my little brother also won the exam this time? Admiration!"

Shang Ziyi's mouth was a little dry, and he remembered Shang Zixuan's advice before he left, so he returned the gift according to the etiquette, and said: "Shang Ziyi of Mugong's mansion was lucky enough to win, so I dare not dare."

Zhang Anren was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his fate with Duke Mu to be so good, he casually asked that he was from Duke Mu's mansion, he couldn't help but smiled, and said, "How are Duke Mu and his wife? I've always wanted to visit, but why not?" There is really no time before the exam. Brother, don’t blame me, we have known each other since Mrs. Mu and his wife arrived in Yizhou.”

This matter has already spread throughout Chang'an, and Shang Ziyi remembered that this was the scholar who almost caused Lang Huai to be questioned when he heard it, so he didn't want to talk to him.He answered a few words casually, and said nothing more on the pretext that the palace must be quiet.Zhang Anren was bored, seeing that he was getting closer to Hanyuan Hall, he also put away his hippie smile and became solemn.

Meeting Yu Chi'an at the door, Lang Huai naturally bowed to salute, and said: "Morning Commander, I really don't have a relationship with you. When I was in Jinwu Guard, you were in the Ministry of War. Now I am in the Ministry of War, but you are in the Imperial Forest Army."

Yu Chi'an has always liked this young man, so he clapped his hands and said: "I remember that you won the first imperial forest army competition. Last year, the one with the surname Lu won the first prize in the imperial forest army competition, isn't it your subordinate?"

Lang Huai really didn't know about this, he laughed and said: "Third brother is brave, I am not an opponent, I must have fought a few tricks with Brother Tuoba's men, and won by luck?"

Yu Chian smiled and said, "Isn't it?"

The two of them were chatting and laughing, they entered the hall together, there was no need to shy away from it, they stood at the head of the military officer team, whispered these things, and smiled happily.

Not long after, Li Qianshang officials and civil officials from various ministries entered the hall, but they just nodded and did not talk.After a while, Tatuo Tu walked in from the outside with his clothes on.

At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the inner supervisor sang, and the forty tributes from the Jinshi Division filed in, and followed the inner supervisor to stand still, in silence.

Still holding a roll of paper in his hand, Li Xun walked up the imperial steps while supporting the jade belt.After the Ming emperor sat upright, Li Xun was the first to shout long live together with all the officials and tributes.

In February of the 34th year of Kaiyang, the Enke Palace Examination officially began.

The author has something to say: this time to sort out:

The purpose of Lang Huai's Enke this time is to attract officials, but she doesn't want to use Shang Zixuan's siblings, so she intends to use the situation to guide her.

Everyone understands the reason for the plaque in the County King's Mansion. Li Jin is still on good terms with Li Qian.Li Jin's prodigal son turned around and found that it was best to have a wife, and since then he has stopped hanging around the place of fireworks.

Will Ming Da and Lang Huai continue to abuse him?I don't!I reject!

Shang Zixuan's home?This is another long story.
