[Tiansheng Long Song] Cinnabar

On that day, the Holy Majesty visited Qingming Academy in person to select a unparalleled national scholar for the opening of the Yingjuan Hall, and many Qingming talents gathered to watch.

Ning Yao felt slightly dizzy, and didn't intend to join in the excitement. Just as he was about to change his clothes and take a rest, someone outside suddenly reported that the guards around King Chu had something important to report. Gu Nanyi stopped him at the door and refused to let him in. .And the voice of the person who answered was very urgent, and it sounded particularly sharp inside: "His Royal Highness King Chu invites the princess to move to the main hall."

Gu Nanyi raised his eyes and stared at the man fiercely, with a murderous look.

Hearing this, Ning Yao stopped moving, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I don't feel well, so I don't want to join in the fun."

Ning Yao thought about it again, but still shook his head, "Brother Wang, did you ever say what happened?"

His words were slightly apologetic, and he said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is resting, it is related to Wei Zhi's life, and it is also related to whether the crown prince can be brought down. Please move your Highness."

Ning Yao stroked the broken hair on the sideburns, lowered his eyebrows and said, "I will go after packing up." She told Zhe Liu, "Make me some soothing soup."

Zheliu ran to the kitchen to make soup for Ning Yao first, Gu Nanyi saw that Ning Yao was dressed properly and got up, said: "Aren't you feeling sick?"

Ning Yao said: "It's nothing, it's just a little chest tightness."

Gu Nanyi stood beside her with his long sword in his arms, and said coldly, "Why make things difficult for yourself." He glanced at Ning Yao from the corner of his eye, "What's more, the matter of King Chu has nothing to do with you."

Ning Yao smiled and shook his head: "Helping Ning Yi is helping Wei Zhi. The Crown Prince is going to kill Wei Zhi to silence him. How can I easily let go of such a good opportunity?"

Ning Yao straightened his clothes, yawned and said, "Let's go, let's watch this good show together."

At this time, Luanjia and the other princes had already entered the main hall and took their seats under the curtain. Except for the Fifth Prince and Princess Ningyao who were not there, the emperor and the princes all came.

When Ning Yao came, Yao Yangyu, the son of Prime Minister Yao, entered the hall to answer the British paper, and came out dejectedly after a while.Ning Shizheng was furious, his face extremely ugly.

"Let Erchen come and try?"

Hearing his voice before seeing him, Ning Yao came late, eloquently, when she walked in front of Yujia, she vaguely heard Shao Ning's voice, she seemed to want to rush out, but was held back by someone under the stage.

The eyes that everyone looked at her at this time were no longer envious or disdainful as before, but a kind of regret and surprise. How could a woman from Ningyao answer a question that no elite in the world could answer?

"Father, let Wang Mei try it, if she can't answer it, it doesn't hurt, if Wang Mei can answer it." Ning Yi said calmly, "If the answer comes out, Father Wang will reward Wang Mei. "

Ning Yao blinked his eyes and looked at Ning Shizheng earnestly. Naturally, he couldn't bear the innocence in this little girl's eyes, so he had to let her try.

Ning Yao went up to the high platform with his robe in hand, and the inner supervisor unfolded the long golden scroll.She glanced down, and the expression on her face was a little dull for a while, then raised her eyebrows and smiled, raised her pen and dropped it.

"The first question, Princess Ningyao, open the second volume."

When Ning Yao hit the first question, everyone was shocked. Behind the curtain, the relatives of the emperor sat up straight and frowned.

Gu Nanyi stood aside and looked at Ning Yao quietly, and chuckled a few times.

This girl's film, it seems, is not just an embroidered pillow.

When it came to the second question, Ning Yao said she couldn't answer according to the plan, and knelt down to thank the Holy Grace. She didn't get up, but she bowed her hands and begged for her life: "My son is ashamed of my father's cultivation, please forgive my father."

"The English scroll has been written for more than [-] years, and no one can understand it so far. You, a girl who has lived in the palace for a long time, can get one question, and you are already better than your elder brothers." When the others mouthed, he passed the other princes with a straight face, and shook his sleeves calmly. "Forget it, go back to the palace."

"Father stay here." Ning Yao said again, "My daughter can't answer, but my daughter is willing to recommend someone to answer the paper for Father."

Ning Yi also came out and bowed his hands, "Wait a minute, Sister Wang is kind, but this person is ugly and not suitable for going to the palace. If it disturbs the holy car, what should I do?"

"Yes, yes, brother Liu Wang is thoughtful." Ning Yao took another step back, glanced at Ning Chuan from the corner of his eye, and was waiting for him to speak.

Ning Chuan just wanted to see Ning Yi make a fool of himself, so naturally he would not let go of this excellent opportunity easily. There are only a handful of people who can answer the British paper. Ning Yi is guilty.

"Father cherishes talents, naturally regardless of status and appearance. Since the sixth brother and sister Wang jointly recommended this person, he must be a peerless talent. Since he is not good-looking, just wear a bamboo hat to face the saint."

Ning Yi pretended to be out of breath, and let it go, gritted his teeth and reminded: "Your Highness, don't regret it."

A man in a moonlight robe and a veiled bamboo hat stepped into the main hall, and everyone gathered around the front of the hall. After a while, a low exclamation came from inside the hall.

"In the first question, open the second volume——"

Behind the screen, the prince who was drinking tea put down his tea, leaned over to look outside, and said with a smile: "Father, I never thought that someone actually answered the question today."

The emperor in a bright yellow casual robe let out a "huh" and didn't reply.

At this time, Feng Zhiwei had calmed down a lot, and everyone no longer waited casually, they all looked up nervously at the hall on tiptoes, after a while, the high-pitched voice of the inner eunuch, who was so surprised and excited that it almost changed the tune, pierced the nerves of everyone present.

"In the second question, open three volumes—"

People began to push forward subconsciously, wanting to witness the birth of the Peerless National Scholar with their own eyes.

Feng Zhiwei slowly opened the hat, except for Ning Chuan's expression of surprise and hatred, everyone was wondering what this unparalleled national scholar who came out every 600 years looked like.

Ning Yao and Ning Yi looked at each other with a smile, today Feng Zhiwei sits in Ning Chuan and raises Xuefu Tu privately, his position in the East Palace may not be guaranteed.But Ning Chuan has not been convicted yet, and some people can't wait anymore.

"Step aside!"

A cold scold was just outside the hall, and in a blink of an eye the group of people had arrived at the hall, and in a trance, everyone saw only a blue shadow of sky and water, like a starlight coming out of the sky in a blink of an eye.

"There are assassins! Escort!"

The Imperial Forest Army and Jinwu Guards guarding all around shouted and jumped up to block, countless stainless steel long knives with red tassels swayed in all directions, shining dazzlingly in the sunlight.

Ning Yi stretched out his long sleeves, and instantly snatched Feng Zhiwei away from those demons.

Ning Yi also turned sideways to block the emperor who was also frightened, and then lightly shouted: "Bold! Take it!"

During a burst of chaos and bloodshed, the shadow of Tianshui Zhiqing flashed behind Ning Yao, Gu Nanyi didn't even look at it, slapped the assassin's hand away, and said indifferently: "Anyone who dares to hurt me will seek death."

Ning Yao looked up at Gu Nanyi, his eyes were filled with astonishment. Gu Nanyi was protected by someone under his arm, and on the other side he held a long sword to deal with the assassin. When the sun shone, the light reflected from the blade made him frown slightly. eyebrow.

Gu Nanyi turned his fingertips, and the long sword held a flower in his palm. He pulled Ning Yao behind him, pushed him to the side, and stabbed the man's abdomen fiercely with the long sword in his hand.

The flying figure in the crowd had a dazzling sword light and starry eyes flickering, Ning Yao's eyes gradually softened.

Gu Nanyi raised his hand and put away his sword, and the last person fell in response to the sound. The series of movements were natural, he was anxious to check Ning Yao's safety, he gently lifted a big knife scattered on the ground with his toe, and turned his backhand in her direction Throw it quickly.

Before she came back to her senses, she heard a scream from behind, and was about to turn her head to look, but Gu Nanyi stepped forward to block her sight, and said in a deep voice: "Don't look!"

Hearing this, Ning Yao was also a little timid, not daring to look back.

In the end, the Imperial Forest Army and Jinwu Guards surrounded and captured all the assassins, and the farce ended.All the princes escorted Ning Shizheng back to the palace, and Ning Yao was still too frightened to recover.

Gu Nanyi lowered his head and asked softly, "Did you get hurt?"

Ning Yao's eyelids trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes and said, "No."

Gu Nanyi hid the back of his injured hand behind his back, his face was calm, and he felt relieved after hearing that she was fine.

Back at the study house, Ning Yao leaned on the chair with his hands propped up, and lazily landed a sunspot. When he found out that he made a mistake, he wanted to regret the move. Gu Nanyi couldn't be bothered. She pushed the chessboard and said, "Forget it, forget it. Seeing that I am If you want to lose, stop playing.

Gu Nanyi silently picked up the chess piece, glanced at it coldly, "Rogue."

Ning Yao lazily said: "I'm upset, even ten games are lost."

Gu Nanyi slowly put away the chess pieces on the chessboard, rearranged his posture, and said, "Come again."

Ning Yao bit her lip and said, "Nanyi..."

Gu Nanyi raised his head and glared at her, Ning Yao silently went back to the chessboard and sat down again.

The two played chess by holding a candle, Ning Yao looked at the pot of red narcissus under the south window, and murmured: "If you overthrow the prince today, you may be the king of Chu tomorrow, and one day... it may be Wei Zhi. "

Ning Yao returned to his senses and smiled slightly, with a sense of desolation in his words: "Will you help me, or Wei Zhi?"

Gu Nanyi stopped the movements in his hands and fell silent. He didn't know who he would help if this day came.

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, with a clear expression, and her expression became more and more sad. She put the chess pieces in her hand back into the urn, and slowly got up.

"I'm tired...you should go back and rest too."

Gu Nanyi nodded, put the chess pieces back into the urn, bowed his hands together and withdrew.He stepped over the threshold, stopped in the courtyard, slowly turned his head and looked up at the wind chimes under the eaves, stared silently for a moment, and then left.

Ning Yao's double eighth birthday is approaching, and the bookstore is usually very quiet. In these two days, the threshold is almost broken. Noble as the emperor, humble to the last of the chosen servants, all come to congratulate and present rich gifts in person.Even if some people don't make friends with her, they still do a good job in this little contact with face, even the aunts and eunuchs who serve in the palace, they also go through the palace people of the bookstore to cater to them.

This man in the palace is best at pushing the high and stepping down the low, and making the rudder according to the wind, not to mention that Ning Yao is a celebrity in front of the emperor.

This kind of welcome and sending off, it would be boring and tiring to deal with it with a smile, but fortunately Ning Shizheng spared her to thank her personally, so it was easier anyway.In the afternoon, Concubine Chang’s congratulatory gifts arrived, a box of exquisite emerald grass headworms inlaid with beads and silver hairpins, a pair of lace beaded hairpins, a pair of jasper Tenghua jade pendants, a lacquered gold silk silk elk bamboo fan, and enamel colored babies. A pair of Xishuanglian vases, a pair of huiwenyun brocade tents, a pair of purple and gold embossed hand stoves, a Guqin with a hundred phoenixes Mingqi, and some gadgets for fun.

After all, Ning Yao is still a young girl. Although she lives amidst gold and jade, she is very prosperous, but her vanity is no less than that of other women. Looking at the dazzling array of precious things, she is very happy.

Gu Nanyi looked at the welcoming crowd, looked down at the gift in his arms, then looked up at Ning Yao, who was smiling with crooked eyebrows, put the gift in his arms, and walked away.
