Not long after Chu Yu left, Chu Qing leaned against the small table with his head on one hand, wagging his tail like a satiated fox.
Xiao Fuzi carefully observed his face, secretly surprised.
It has been a long time since His Highness the Crown Prince saw such a happy expression on his face.
Xiao Fuzi has been with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for more than ten years, so he naturally knows his temper and disposition, but the more he knows, the more secretive he will be. After learning how to read words and demeanor, he is walking on eggshells.
Seeing him happy at this time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly hoped that His Highness the Sixth Prince, who was smiling like a spring flower, would come a few more times.
Although he didn't know the reason, it was his ability to make His Royal Highness happy.
There seemed to be a lingering sweetness in the air, a few maids came to take away the cakes on the table, Chu Qing waved them down.
He twirled a piece of pastry into his mouth, and he didn't care that it was cold and hard.
"His Royal Highness, Wu Shixuan, Minister of Rites, is asking to see you."
Before he could finish eating, a guard guarding the gate hurried over.
Chu Qing stretched out his hand, and the maid next to him immediately handed over a towel. He wiped his fingers while lifting his chin, "Let him in."
After a while, a middle-aged official with a black hat on his head was ushered in. He walked up to Chu Qing with steady steps, knelt down and bowed, "His Royal Highness."
Chu Qing turned his head to look at him, the expression on his face became old-fashioned again.
"Get up."
Wu Shixuan stood up, looked up at him secretly, glanced at the cakes on the table that had not been taken away, but quickly looked away.
He speculated secretly in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know what the Crown Prince wants to do with this humble minister?"
Chu Qing looked at him with a smile, and said warmly, "Grand Wu, don't be so serious, I just asked you a few things by calling you here today."
Wu Shixuan's face remained unchanged, "Your Highness, please tell me clearly that I have other things to do, so I can't stay for long."
He doesn't like Chu Qing's way at all, and speaks directly and simply. If others don't know that he has such an upright temperament, they must think that he is deliberately trying to lower Chu Qing's face.
He was originally a centrist in the court, and he never looked at anyone's face when doing things. This is what the current emperor values him.
Chu Qing didn't care at all, and nodded thoughtfully and understandingly, "It won't take you long, I called you here just to ask how the preparations for the autumn exam are going."
Liang Guo's imperial examinations are held twice a year, divided into spring exams and autumn exams. Those who fail to catch up with the spring exams after the rural exams or those who cannot come to take the spring exams due to other circumstances can also take the autumn exams, but there are far fewer people in the autumn exams than in the spring exams.
Over time, most of the people who came to participate in the autumn examination were the children of officials and eunuchs, but the imperial court still paid as much attention to the autumn examination as Chunwei, and the invigilation was just as strict.
The Ministry of Rites has always been in charge of the scientific examination. This year it happened to be Wu Shixuan who was in charge. He was not at all surprised when the crown prince asked about it. Please rest assured, His Royal Highness."
Chu Qing nodded with satisfaction, and looked at him appreciatively, "Of course I am assured of your work, but this autumn exam is a major event for the court, and it is the main means of sending talents to the court. I hope Mr. Wu will take care of it."
Wu Shixuan nodded, "Naturally."
Seeing that he agreed, Chu Qing nodded, and after pondering for a moment, he asked, "I remember that after the autumn exam, all candidates' test papers will be sent to Qianqing Palace for the emperor's review as soon as possible after being corrected, right?"
Wu Shixuan frowned, "Yes, His Royal Highness, this is an annual rule."
Chu Qing nodded, and then said, "I have something to trouble Mr. Wu."
Wu Shixuan lowered his eyes, "Don't dare, please just give orders to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Chu Qing smiled and hooked his fingers at him, Wu Shixuan stepped forward and stood beside him in confusion.
Chu Qing's eyes flicked around his resolute face with Chinese characters, and he looked away leisurely, "I wonder if Mr. Wu can borrow the test paper?"
Wu Shixuan thought he heard it wrong, but when he understood what he meant, his face changed drastically, "What does this mean, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
Chu Qing's face remained unchanged, and the corner of his mouth was still smiling, "I want to share my worries with my father about such an important matter as the autumn exam. I just hope that you can send the papers to the East Palace for me to have a look before sending them to Qianqing Palace. What's the matter?"
He said it lightly, in fact, both of them knew how important the test paper was, not to mention casual reading, it would be a big mistake if people accidentally glanced at it.
Of course Wu Shixuan knew the advantages and disadvantages, he said sternly, "His Royal Highness, the examinee's test paper is a top secret and needs to be kept carefully. Please forgive me for not agreeing to it!"
Chu Qing was rushed by him, so he calmly comforted him, "Don't rush to refuse, Mr. Wu."
After finishing speaking, he smiled and said a few more words, Wu Shixuan's complexion changed after listening, and the originally firm refusal on his face also hesitated, and then turned into pain and entanglement.
During this period, Chu Qing watched his face change with confidence.
After a long time, he gritted his teeth, "His Royal Highness, escorting the test papers is not my job alone, and it is useless if I agree."
Chu Qing waved his hand nonchalantly, "That's something you have to consider. Your Majesty values Duke Wu so much. Of course, I also believe in Duke Wu's ability. You can't even handle such a trivial matter, right?"
After a long while, Wu Shixuan cupped his hands in despair, "I...I understand, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Chu Qing nodded in satisfaction, not as gentle as the person who threatened him just now, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to Mr. Wu, I hope you won't let me down."
Wu Shixuan nodded in a daze, and left in a daze.
Chu Qing watched him leave with squinted eyes, turned his head to Xiao Fuzi and said, "Find someone to follow him, and don't let people know that he has been to the East Palace. This matter will be done without anyone noticing."
Xiao Fuzi was terrified at the side, but when he heard Chu Qing's order, he quickly bowed his head, "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
morning.
Jiang Ying has already dressed up, and she is looking at the gauze skirts in the hands of the little maid with a tangled expression, her eyes are turning around in the middle, and she can't pay attention for a while.
The maid maintained this movement for quite a while, she secretly moved her sore shoulders, and asked, "His Royal Highness, are you going to see His Royal Highness?"
Otherwise, how can you dress up so grandly.
Unlike usual, she slept late until the third watch of the sun, and then was lazy all day long. Instead, she got up early in the morning and asked a few maids to help her dress up, and put on very delicate rouge and lip balm. Zhi, a twenty-eight girl, is extraordinarily bright.
She looked at the mirror for a long time before asking the maid to choose clothes. The little maid took out her favorite clothes, but she didn't know how to choose.
After choosing for a long time, she picked out a smoky pink dress, put a white magnolia hairpin and a few white jade pendants on her hair, took a picture in front of the mirror, turned around and looked at the maid, "How is it?"
The palace maid hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness, you are already beautiful, and you look good in everything you wear, especially today. Your Highness will definitely like it."
Jiang Ying nodded with satisfaction, "Let's go to the bamboo building."
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Princess...huh?"
"Ah what?" Jiang Ying rolled her eyes when she saw that she could stuff an egg into her mouth in surprise, "What am I going to do with Chu Qing? He doesn't talk to me, why should I stick my face to his cold ass, why not go Find brother Chu Yu to play with."
Seeing that she was about to go out, the maid asked hesitantly, "But Crown Princess, isn't this against the rules?"
"What's not in compliance with the rules?" Jiang Ying gave her a strange look, and she straightened her collar, "Anyway, Chu Qing doesn't care about me, don't worry, he's busy and won't care about these small things."
The maid thought for a while, and felt that this was the reason, and suddenly thought that following Jiang Ying, she would see the fairy-like sixth prince again, and immediately responded happily, "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Princess."
When Jiang Ying arrived at Tingzhulou, Chu Yu was reading a book in Tingfeng Pavilion. When she saw her coming, she was surprised for a moment, but quickly greeted her with a smile, "His Royal Highness."
Jiang Ying had a heated chat with him yesterday, but today she felt embarrassed. After glancing at him, she lowered her head shyly, "Yu'er can just call me Sister Yingying."
Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, but did not speak.
Sitting beside him, Jiang Ying thought about it for a long time, touched the hairpin on her head, "Did Yuer find anything special about me today?"
Chu Yu was taken aback by her question, looked her up and down hesitantly, and finally asked tentatively in her expectant eyes, "Special...beautiful?"
Jiang Ying covered her mouth and laughed a few times, "Yu'er's mouth is so sweet."
Chu Yu silently swallowed the phrase "special mother", and smiled embarrassingly.
It's not Chu Yu's fault, it's because she was so abnormal today, if she didn't look exactly the same, he even wondered if this princess was the same person as the one who got excited and shook her legs on the couch yesterday.
Jiang Ying looked curiously at the books on the table, "What book is Yu'er reading?"
Chu Yu turned the book over, showed her the book cover, and introduced it solemnly, "This is a book that introduces Liang's national customs and local delicacies. It is very interesting. If Her Royal Highness is interested, you can go and have a look."
Jiang Ying nodded blankly, took the book and turned a few pages, her eyes twitching.
Looking at the recipe early in the morning, and still reading it with such relish, what is this unique hobby?
But fortunately, she was a drunkard who didn't care about drinking. After returning the book to him, she praised him unchanged, "It looks really interesting. I will definitely find it and read it when I have time."
Chu Yu nodded happily.
Jiang Ying lay on the table, resting her head on her folded hands, "Yu'er, what do you usually do while listening to the bamboo building? Do you just read books all day?"
Chu Yu smiled embarrassedly, "I'm ashamed to say, I really don't have any other hobbies, but occasionally I go to the Imperial Garden for a stroll, or tease the rabbits."
Jiang Ying slapped the table and stood up, "How can this be done? Yu'er, you are still young, so you should move around more, otherwise you will not grow taller."
Speaking of height, Chu Yu just hit a sore spot. He looked at Jiang Ying sincerely and listened attentively.
Seeing that he was interested, Jiang Ying had already forgotten her image, "Children who grew up in the military camp, at your age, have to move around every day to become taller and stronger."
Don't look at Jiang Ying like this, in fact, her body is very flexible and resistant to pressure, which is also the result of years of training.
In comparison, Chu Yu is just a young boy with no strength to restrain a chicken.
Although he is also very good like this, even she can easily restrain him.
Jiang Ying secretly thought, while gesturing to him, "Look, like this, straighten your arms, then squat down, and turn your toes outward."
Chu Yu was watching with relish, and suddenly his face changed, "His Royal Highness, be careful."
Jiang Ying stepped on the ground and unconsciously leaned back. Chu Yu subconsciously grabbed her arm, and she rushed towards Chu Yu out of inertia.
With a thud, she fell on Chu Yu's body. Chu Yu hit his back on the stone table and fell to the ground with a muffled groan.
With Chu Yu's buffer, Jiang Ying straddled him and supported his chest with her hands. Seeing his painful expression, she was so frightened that she touched his lower back, "Yuyu, are you okay?"
Lan'er came over with the pastry and saw this scene, the plate in her hand fell to pieces, "Your Highness!"
Along with her voice, there was another angry voice, "Chu Yu!"
Chu Yu trembled, raised his head tremblingly and looked at the cobblestone road not far away, as expected, his handsome second brother was looking at him angrily.
Chu Rui couldn't figure out why he, the little brother, was so good at recruiting people.
Isn't this very familiar woman who is as beautiful as a fairy is his emperor's wife? ? ?
The author has something to say: I like Rui Rui so much, he must have been a positive attack in his previous life
I'm going to join V the day after tomorrow, and I will stop for a day tomorrow to prepare for the next day, remember to support it
Xiao Fuzi carefully observed his face, secretly surprised.
