I can't, I can't

With an order, the examiner was in place, and the candidates also went to the arranged tables and sat down one by one, sitting in seven or eight rows back and forth.This row opened up, and immediately revealed dozens of faces of different age groups. Zheng Lanyu was the youngest in this group of people, with a handsome and fresh appearance. She hadn't seen it before, but she quickly revealed her position after she was seated. She was in the fourth place. The right side of the row is seven or eight meters away from the dragon chair.

From such a distance, Kang Jiangxue couldn't see Zheng Lanyu's appearance clearly at all, but a creature like a beautiful boy was born with its own outline and aura, even if he couldn't see his face clearly, he could still easily feel the other party's good looks.The little emperor had some calculations in his mind, and he was not in a hurry. He was only going to wait patiently for the champion to be selected before looking for an opportunity to get close to Mr. Zheng Xiao.

Not wanting to catch up with this opportunity, he didn't move, instead Zheng Lanyu raised his head and looked in the direction of the dragon chair, the two of them met eyes, the boy snorted coldly on the spot, and averted his eyes angrily.

From such a distance, Kang Jiangxue should have been unable to see Zheng Lanyu's expression clearly, but Zheng Lanyu's movements were really undisguised, even shrugging her shoulders when expressing her emotions.

With just one glance, Kang Jiangxue was sure that Zheng Lanyu herself hadn't run away.

But even if he has a bad temper, he shouldn't be so rude to the emperor.Kang Jiangxue faintly felt that Zheng Lanyu's attitude towards him was not very friendly, but she didn't know the reason when she thought about it seriously.

What's going on... Zheng Lanyu's first impression of him was so bad? ?

Kang Jiangxue didn't expect to have a soft nail so early, she was a little upset, she couldn't help asking Sheng Lingyu quietly: "I look disgusting?"

Before Sheng Lingyu could speak, the little emperor had already said to himself regretfully: "If I knew it earlier, I should have spent time dressing up. If I don't wear this dress, it might be more serious to change to a lighter color."

Sheng Lingyu was silent and didn't reply for a long time.

The palace examination required quietness, and Kang Jiangxue couldn't chatter, so she didn't care about Sheng Lingyu's timely silence.After the little emperor nodded, the chief examiner announced the opening of the question, and a solemn and solemn atmosphere permeated the hall.

In the silence where you could clearly hear the dropping of needles on the ground, the examinees concentrated on their own thoughts and began to write and answer the questions. Only the sound of writing remained in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

An hour and a half passed like burning lamp oil, and after the inserted incense sticks were extinguished, the palace officials gathered up the test papers of the candidates.

At this moment, the situation changed from being busy with the exams to being busy with the courtiers, and there was a pile of articles in front of the little emperor, waiting for him to review.

Kang Jiangxue is actually unable to do the work of marking and grading papers. Although he himself is a book writer, reading classical Chinese and creating yellow food are not in the same business scope. Looking at Sheng Lingyu, he directly judged according to Sheng Lingyu's face. If Sheng Lingyu nodded, it was good, and if Sheng Lingyu frowned, it was bad.

The little emperor turned on the plug-in, looked at ten lines at a glance, and judged faster than those old officials.

After reading more than ten papers in a row, Kang Jiangxue finally saw Zheng Lanyu's name in a stack of articles. At a glance, the handwriting was unmistakable and very flamboyant.

There is no suspense in Zheng Lanyu's writing skills, without thinking about it, she knows that she must be the best in the audience. Kang Jiangxue deliberately went through a cutscene and scored high. Sheng Lingyu, who didn't want to read the article, suddenly frowned at this moment.

Kang Jiangxue was surprised, and asked in a low voice: "...what's wrong?"

Sheng Lingyu pointed her finger over and tapped on two places in the article.

Kang Jiangxue is not good at reading ancient Chinese, but it's not that she can't understand it. She read it carefully, and within 2 minutes, her expression became more subtle.

Ah well, Zheng Lanyu's talent is so high, his literary talent is brilliant, and his personality is bound. There is nothing wrong with it. As long as he writes in a regular manner, the name of the champion will [-]% fall to his family, but who knows that Zheng Lanyu didn't just write casually. Speak freely and write two very controversial places.

The theme of the palace examination this time is the word "loyalty", which closely follows current events and revolves around the Yang Xian rebellion that was quelled a few days ago. The idea of ​​answering the questions is obviously to ask the courtiers to show their loyalty and maintain the authority of the royal family.

Zheng Lanyu was lucky, he quoted scriptures and allusions, carefully studied thousands of years of history, and came up with two arguments.

First, the emperor owes scolding, so he should always be advised. Early persuasion can detect problems early, and by the way, he can exercise the emperor's capacity.

Second, loyalty should not only be to the emperor, but also to the country, the overall situation, and the people. If the emperor is too stupid, he will be laid off with his real name.

The reasoning of these two arguments is correct, and even Kang Jiangxue thinks it makes sense, but if you say this bluntly, it is very unpleasant, especially the emperor.Furthermore, the suggestion that the emperor be laid off can be understood as putting the people first, and it can also be understood as treason. In this context, if you accidentally offend the emperor, you will lose your head on the spot.

A certain degree of embarrassment appeared on Kang Jiangxue's face. If it was said that he himself would not care, but the character of the little emperor was placed there, obviously he could not accept Zheng Lanyu's article.

Kang Jiangxue secretly looked at the other veterans who approved the papers. The latter seemed to have seen Zheng Lanyu's article. The examiners were as quiet as chickens. They read it silently, and silently put Zheng Lanyu's article aside.

After a period of time, everyone gathered the approved articles together, and sure enough, they left the final decision to the little emperor.They recognized Zheng Lanyu's talent very much, but for fear of offending the little emperor, no one dared to directly judge the pros and cons.

Kang Jiangxue was forced to face a dilemma, whether Zheng Lanyu should be the champion or not.

If he clicked, his personality and face would be unjustifiable; if he didn't, Zheng Lanyu's title of number one scholar would be lost.

Without the reputation of Lianzhong Sanyuan, Zheng Lanyu might feel that the little emperor has no vision and no heart because of this, and his impression of him is even worse.

How can this be done?

...I can only order it!

With a sullen face, Kang Jiangxue made a firm decision, hurriedly wrote a few words on a piece of paper, and ordered the palace servants to draw up an edict to announce the results.A few old officials were very close to the little emperor, and when they saw Zheng Lanyu's achievements, they glanced at each other in surprise.

I didn't expect the little emperor to accommodate this young and vigorous young man. This is nothing like what the little emperor did. Could it be, could it be that the little emperor...

Didn't understand it at all?

Kang Jiangxue didn't know that the officials had found such a suitable explanation for him, so she just watched the candidates knelt down to accept the order with complicated emotions.

Ping Wuqi’s voice was high-pitched, starting with Tanhua Lang, who announced this year’s Tanhua and No. [-] one by one. Both of them are nearly [-] years old, and it’s hard to hide their excitement.The rest of the disciples heard the changes, some were envious, some regretted, and some bowed their heads in disappointment.

Zheng Lanyu stood in it, looking very abrupt, and everyone else reacted, but he held his head high and held his chest high, without any worries.His external performance was very confident, and he seemed to be very confident, but when he heard that he was this year's champion, the blue-clothed boy showed an inappropriate look of surprise, and his footsteps slanted for a moment.

The top three were about to go nearby to receive an order to thank them, and Zheng Lanyu moved up slowly at the end.As he approached step by step, his expression changed little by little from surprise to "you have some vision".When he arrived in front of the little emperor, he regained his composure. He lifted his robe and kowtowed coldly.

The three said in unison: "Thank you, Lord Long—"

Zheng Lanyu's voice was so low that she could hardly hear it, and Kang Jiangxue didn't care. He just looked at Zheng Lanyu, and the more clearly he saw it, the more familiar it became.

What a young man with exquisite and fair appearance, worthy of the title of Sheng Lingyu, a bit like Mr. Yulang, but the little emperor always felt that he had seen him somewhere.

Where the hell is it... Kang Jiangxue suddenly remembered that on the day of Sheng Lingyu's grandfather's funeral, he had met a boy who was a troll on the high bridge in the main street.

That young man guessed his identity that day, but his temper was still very domineering, and he sneered at the little emperor... but it turned out that he was Zheng Lanyu.

No wonder, no wonder, Kang Jiangxue said how could there be so many lifeless gangsters in this world, and it was the same person.

When Kang Jiangxue thought of this relationship, she couldn't help being a little funny, and the look in Zheng Lanyu's eyes couldn't help feeling a little familiar.His expression changed, with a smile on his face, and he was very tolerant. That look in Zheng Lanyu's eyes and in Sheng Lingyu's eyes caused disturbances to varying degrees.

Zheng Lanyu bit her back molars, and her expression became impatient again.

Kang Jiangxue is not angry, he has already realized that Zheng Lanyu is indeed very talented, and at the same time he is really young, as long as he treats Zheng Lanyu like a kid, his tolerance will increase in a straight line.

The little emperor opened his mouth and said: "Today Ding Dynasty has won a good talent again. I am very happy. In the evening, I will hold a banquet for the number one scholar in the palace to celebrate together with the palace."

Zheng Lanyu responded calmly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Kang Jiangxue said flatly: "Then that will stop here, let's all step back."

After the palace examination is over, the news of the top three is released, congratulations are everywhere, and the number one scholar has to parade through the streets. It is very busy to reunite with his family, so there is no need to stay here.Kang Jiangxue retreated from the crowd, intending to find a chance to talk to Zheng Lanyu at night, but she was free to go through Zheng Lanyu's reaction several times in her mind, and the more Kang Jiangxue thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

Zheng Lanyu's attitude was too cold and unreasonable.

The little emperor asked Ping Wuqi: "Who are there in Zheng Lanyu's family?"

Ping Wuqi replied: "Father died in the battle, leaving only a widowed mother."

Only the old mother is consistent with the little emperor's impression, but how can a widowed mother have anything to do with the little emperor?Kang Jiangxue asked again: "When did his father die? How did he die?"

Ping Wuqi replied: "He died in the border battle."

Zheng Lanyu's family should have been Congwen for generations, so how could Congwen die at the border?Kang Jiangxue was even more surprised: "Who is his father?"

Ping Wuqi replied: "I don't know the name...it seems to be Zheng Yuan."

Zheng Yuan, Zheng Yuan, and Kang Jiangxue muttered a few times, and suddenly the phrase "Fuck", Zheng Lanyu turned out to be Zheng Yuan's son.

Kang Jiangxue passed through the book halfway, and did not participate in many of the past events in the court, but he had an impression of Zheng Yuan.Zheng Yuan's death was precisely because the little emperor himself relegated Zheng Yuan to the frontier, and when Kang Jiangxue came to court for the first time, he caught up with the news of Zheng Yuan's death, and he didn't do anything good. Molested Zheng Yuan's wife and children.

No wonder Zheng Lanyu disliked him visibly to the naked eye...

Who can be pleasing to the eye after this change?

Kang Jiangxue was so numb, she almost choked on the pain, her eyes flickered, and she inadvertently noticed that there was nothing around her, and Sheng Lingyu disappeared at some point.

...?

What about Sheng Ling Yuren?

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the crowd dispersed, and many people gathered around the blue-clothed boy. Among the fellow candidates was his classmate. Although he was not selected, he was also happy for Zheng Lanyu.

"Okay, you really won the first prize! From now on, the whole school will be honored by you. At this age, no one can surpass you in the entire Ding Dynasty even if you win three yuan."

Zheng Lanyu raised her chin high, the young man's face was full of arrogance: "What is there to say? It should have been done."

The classmate laughed and patted Zheng Lanyu on the back vigorously.At this time, the articles transcribed by the palace servants were also circulated, and Zheng Lanyu's articles fell into the hands of those around her.

The disciples formed a group and scrambled to pass them around. The classmates followed suit, looked shocked and paled: "I thought you wrote some beautiful words that provoked that Majesty Long Xinyue to host a banquet in person. , I didn’t expect it to be such an article...how dare you write this?!"

Zheng Lanyu didn't care: "So what if I write it?"

The classmate was even more afraid than Zheng Lanyu: "Your Majesty didn't get angry. You are very lucky. You must restrain yourself from now on!"

Zheng Lanyu said: "Luck?" Halfway through the speech, Zheng Lanyu didn't want to talk anymore, he raised his hand, and ran away without looking back regardless of his image.

The classmate was stunned for a moment, and shouted after him: "Yulang! Zheng Yulang!"

The voice spread far away, reaching the steps of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Sheng Lingyu seemed to be stabbed by the sun, and suddenly raised her hand to cover her eyes.

Yulang.

……ridiculous.
