Invite the wolf into the room

City, it is estimated that the emperor will allow us to leave and return to Beijing in the next year, maybe we can spend fifteen years at home. "

Xue Jingyang, who also changed into plain clothes, opened the door and came in. Seeing An Chen's appearance, he also felt sorry for him. Not to mention wearing hemp and mourning for his mother-killing enemy, and three years of filial piety, no one would be able to bear this matter.

Fortunately, Xiao Muliu had the foresight to bring an official from the Ministry of Rites who was good at funeral matters to the mission, so that when Mingyang's mother and son died and An Zhenyuan was "seriously ill", he would come forward to help with the cooking. Then the eldest brother led the army to deter the forces of Mingyang and An's factions, and finally An Chen succeeded to the position of son.

"I know, thank you for your hard work, second brother."

An Chen opened his eyes and looked at Xue Jingyang, who had obviously lost a lot of weight. He finally had a hint of warmth in his expression. Thanks to Xue Jingyang's careful care and maintenance during this period, otherwise, with his and his uncle's temperament, he might not be able to bear it. If you hold back your anger and start the killing ring, then things will be difficult to handle.

"Okay, why are you being polite to me, you can take a good rest now, and you have to keep a vigil at night."

After Xue Jingyang finished speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to An Chen, and then winked at him ambiguously. Then he smiled and wanted to leave first, but just as Qiong walked in from the open door, the two met face to face. , Xue Jingyang looked at his face in a daze, and then hurriedly turned to let him in. Seeing that he didn't intend to talk to him, Xue Jingyang left feeling a little disappointed, but he didn't know that Qiong was also watching him from the corner of his eye. He didn't withdraw until the door panel blocked his back.

In the past few days, Qiong has completely controlled the county palace in his own hands by means of thunder, but he is really not good at human relations, so these days, he is assisting Xue Jingyang to manage it. After getting along for a long time, Qiong can feel Xue Jingyang's difference. , although he was also confused by his skin, but he didn't give birth to any dirty thoughts, on the contrary, he was considerate and respectful, and treated each other with sincerity. Combined with his background and appearance, it's no wonder that so many talented men and beauties in the world love him.It's just that when he thinks that Xue Jingyang is so gentle and considerate to everyone, Qiong feels inexplicably uncomfortable, but he has always been cold and alienated to others, so he didn't take Xue Jingyang to heart, so he didn't take Xue Jingyang seriously when he turned around. .

But Qiong didn't know that Xue Jingyang had an image of amorous and unrestrained in front of others, only those who tied their hands and feet in front of him lost the frivolous coat and revealed the tenderness and sincerity inside.

"uncle."

Seeing that it was Qiong who came, An Chen hurriedly put Ling Qingzhe's letter close to his chest and put it away. He was about to get up and talk, but was supported by Qiong's shoulders and sat down again, and Qiong also sat on the other side of him across the table. .

"News from Beijing that the emperor is going to choose a son-in-law for the eldest princess Xinping... Ling Qingzhe has been named as a candidate."

Qiong put the information in his hand in front of An Chen, and watched his reaction carefully with his eyes. A while ago, Qiong received a lot of news, conveying the relationship between Ling Qingzhe and that Princess Xinping in an orderly manner. He did his best to deal with the An family and Mingyang's forces, so he didn't use these things to disturb An Chen, and now that there is such a commotion over there, he felt that it was time for An Chen to know something, if something really happened...

"Option?"

This word made An Chen think of the scene of drafting a girl for the emperor. It felt like marrying a son-in-law to a princess. Immediately, when he thought that the man he was planning to marry was his own man, An Chen couldn't help but blacken his face. He picked up the information and read it carefully. Looking up, it seems that there are dozens of people who have been named by the emperor, and they are all descendants of prominent noble families for more than three generations. An offender and aristocratic children of the right age who have not remarried signed up for the election, and An Chen's heart was relieved again. In this way, there must be hundreds of people who choose the son-in-law, and all of them must be qualified. A powerful and powerful nobleman, it's not his family's Qingzhe's turn to be unlucky.

"Recently, I heard that he has close contacts with King Kang, the prince and that Princess Xinping. Has he mentioned this to you?"

Qiong saw that An Chen's face turned cold at first, but after reading the information, he didn't care anymore. After thinking about it, he reminded him again. He knew how much An Chen valued that man, and he was really worried about his nephew's emotional relationship. If something happens, the child will not be able to bear to do something stupid.

"Uncle, who will mention those things in private messages, don't worry, it's fine."

An Chen heard the meaning of Qiong's words, and his heart suddenly tensed up, but he didn't show it on his face, so he discussed some other things with Qiong as if nothing had happened, and after sending him out of the room, An Chen frowned. His face drooped, and he began to think about Ling Qingzhe's matter in his heart.

After sitting down, he took out the letter that Ling Qingzhe would come every five days, looked at his letter full of caring, watched him complain about the boredom of the job, the loneliness of "staying alone in the empty boudoir", and said that he was a new student. Passed Pai Gow, and Kang Wang and the others waited for him to go back...but there was no mention of Princess Xinping.

"It's normal. I didn't mention who I met or what I ate every day."

An Chen put himself and Ling Qingzhe in a different position, and he didn't care about the relationship between people, so how could he talk to his lover about these things, if he didn't mention it, it meant that Princess Xinping was in that person's heart It doesn't matter at all, it's a guilty conscience to take the initiative to bring it up, right?As for those pretentious rumors, how can they be compared with my confidence in that person?

But even though he firmly believed in Ling Qingzhe's feelings in his heart, An Chen still felt irritated. Who knew if it was some Princess Xinping who saw his Qingzhe's goodness and wanted to use tricks to rob him?After all, his family Qingzhe is so good, it's not surprising that others fall in love with him!

His brows were almost wrinkled in thought, An Chen quickly walked to the desk to spread paper and ink, but after picking up the pen, he hesitated and didn't know what to write, so he asked him directly what happened to that Princess Xinping?No, that would make him look too petty, and that person would definitely laugh at him, but if he didn't ask, he wouldn't take the initiative to bring it up, right?Then how would I know what's going on... It's so annoying, how do I reply to the letter?Old Emperor!When will you order me to go to Beijing!

Not to mention how anxious the little quail was in the northwest, first let me say that Ling Qingzhe, who had been in Beijing for a few days, started to rest and recuperate at home again, and this time it was not he who wanted to take a rest, but His Majesty swiped his pen. He was given a month and a half of vacation, and asked him to do his homework honestly at home...

First of all, Ling Qingzhe lived in Xue's mansion completely, and started his alternative life of staying out of the door, and then every day, different palace people came to Xue's mansion to give Ling Qingzhe an exam, such as poetry, articles, political views, military knowledge, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting , horseback riding and archery, etiquette cultivation... all have to hand in the grades and submit them to the imperial examination, and these things not only represent Ling Qingzhe himself, but also affect the face of the Xue family. The hundreds of nobles who participated in the election are not pointing to this opportunity Earn glory and holy family for the family, so even if Ling Qingzhe doesn't want to get involved in this matter, he has to do his best for the Xue family and his ancestors of the Ling family.

After the primary election, His Majesty will personally preside over the main election, so now no one dares to risk the crime of deceiving the emperor and make the results too fake, and Ling Qingzhe's ability is real, even though he has hidden himself and has not shown too much , still stood out from a crowd of young men of similar age, and became one of the 'Four Great Talents' in the selection of the son-in-law this time.

"What is this about choosing a son-in-law? It's true to choose a national treasure."

Ling Qingzhe lied on the couch and pretended to be dead, not caring about Xiao Muliu leaning on the side and watching him sniggering. He has been tossed a lot during this time. His grandfather has been competing with those old friends recently. They all said that their grandchildren and grandchildren are the best, so they suffered from the grandchildren of them, and they were forced to go all out. After a while, Ling Qingzhe has made friends with the other three of the 'Four Young Masters', probably considered difficult brothers and sisters. Everyone really feels that they have hit it off, and the most interesting thing is that the four of them with the best grades, No one wants to marry a princess, it's funny when I think about it.

"Fourth young master, heh... In my opinion, the four beauties are right."

Xiao Muliu frowned and smiled softly. This time he accompanied his eldest brother to make such a fuss, and he really saw a lot of extraordinary people. You must know that the most important thing in choosing a son-in-law is to be handsome, otherwise the rest will be ignored , since ancient times, everyone has a love for beauty, and choosing a consort is not like hiding in the palace like a draft girl, which gives the world a chance to appreciate beauty, so after such a selection, it has really become known all over the world It's a lively event, especially the first few men are either heroic, handsome, chic, or romantic.But His Majesty the Emperor, who has seen so many good men from the Jialin Kingdom, was very happy.

"Don't mention it, I just hope to get to the main election soon, so I can find a chance to be kicked out."

Ling Qingzhe continued to lament, it is not easy for him to lose this time, now that his reputation is so big, it is too fake to lose, and it is really impatient to lose face to His Majesty the Emperor in front of the world Oh, so, if he wants to lose, he has to lose beautifully, and he can't lose to someone who is not as good as him. He has to make people feel that he is honored to lose. This is really difficult...

"If my elder brother hears your words, he will be the first to kick you to the bitter cold frontier."

While talking, Xiao Muliu saw that Han Chao, who was going to arrange dinner, came back, so he handed him an orange.
