After being bound by the eating and broadcasting system, I became a heartthrob

When Chu Qing arrived at Qianqing Palace, Wu Shixuan was standing at His Royal Highness, and Chu Aotian was sitting on the Dragon Throne, holding his head with one hand and flipping through the stack of test papers with the other.

The two seemed to be talking about something, but seeing Chu Qing, Wu Shixuan obviously paused, bowed to him, his eyes flickered to cover up his guilty conscience, and he tried his best to pretend to be calm.

Chu Aotian was concentrating on looking at the files and test papers in his hand, and didn't notice these abnormalities.

Seeing Chu Qing approaching, Chu Aotian hooked his hand at Chu Qing, "The crown prince came just in time, come here to see for me, Wu Aiqing and I have somewhat different views on this year's champion candidate, I don't know what the crown prince thinks."

Chu Qing withdrew his gaze from Wu Shixuan, smiled shyly, cupped his hands, and evaded, "Father, my son is short-sighted, and there are still many things I don't understand. It's better to be far-sighted than Father. I'm afraid there is no way to tell Father. What a good suggestion."

"Hey, that's not what you said," Chu Aotian waved his hand, "The crown prince is old enough to take over these matters, and I also asked Xiaoer to come over and have a look. Since you are one step ahead of him, let's take a look first." Bar."

When Chu Qing heard that Chu Aotian also called Chu Rui, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze for a moment, but it soon returned to normal, and no one could see the slightest difference.

He nodded and bent slightly, "Yes, father."

He took a few steps forward, walked to the case, lowered his eyes, and looked at the two test papers placed together on the case, these two are the test papers that caused Wu Shixuan and Chu Aotian to disagree.

At first glance, the writing on the two test papers, one is upright and beautiful, the other is unrestrained and flamboyant, each has its own merits, but they both look extremely pleasing to the eye, and it is impossible to say which one is better.

In the previous part of answering the questions, the four books and five classics and the ancient books of the sages were tested. Both of them wrote densely. The reviewer had carefully checked it long ago. Both of them wrote flawlessly. One question was good. , the only part that makes people unable to make a decision is the last question, about current political views.

"These two, one named Li Jingming, came from a poor background. They are well aware of the hardships of the common people. They have their own views and corresponding measures for building water conservancy and reducing corvee, which are very practical," Wu Shixuan said from the side.

Chu Aotian nodded, "The other is Meng Zhenzhi, the youngest son of Prime Minister Meng's family. He was born in an official family and was immersed in court affairs when he was a child. In this paper, he pointed out many shortcomings in the current Daliang Kingdom system. It’s also very reasonable.”

Chu Qing touched his chin and nodded, "Indeed, these two people are indeed equal, making it difficult to choose."

Wu Shixuan frowned, and added on the side, "Your Majesty and His Royal Highness may not know that this Li Jingming is a descendant of Li Qing, a calligrapher. He used to live in a big family. Prime Minister, compared to him, he is not too unfamiliar with court affairs."

He still insisted that it would be more appropriate for Li Jingming to be the No. [-] scholar, and this would also be an encouragement to many children from poor families. If Meng Zhenzhi were to be the No. [-], some people would gossip.

Chu Aotian knew what he was thinking, and laughed a few times heartily, "Aiqing, of course I understand your concerns, but as far as these two test papers are concerned, Meng Zhenzhi is indeed better."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at Chu Qing who was silent at the side, "What does the prince think?"

Chu Qing thought for a moment, "My servant dared to think that what Li Gong said was more reasonable. This Li Jingming came from a humble background, but he was quick in writing. I have never admired scholars who read dead books. Talents like him are really rare."

Chu Aotian's smile faded a little.

He picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, and when he put it down, the cup made a crisp sound, and said indifferently, "I remember that you and Meng Zhenzhi used to be classmates, but now you don't speak for him? "

Chu Qing's expression remained unchanged, and his smile was calm and breezy, "Father, it is precisely because I have a friendship with Brother Meng that I cannot speak for him. If I speak for him, someone will definitely say that my son and minister are partial to each other. This is also a kind of humiliation to Brother Meng."

Chu Aotian glanced at him, lazily looked away, noncommittal.

Chu Qing took a quick look at Chu Aotian's face, and then said again, "However, Brother Meng is indeed talented, and everything has to be decided by the emperor."

Chu Aotian was still the old god and didn't speak. At this time, someone came in to report that it was Chu Rui.

Seeing Chu Rui coming in, Chu Aotian's expression softened a lot, he could even be said to be kind, and waved at Chu Rui, "Ruier, come here."

Chu Rui's footsteps paused, and he stood in front of the hall. Although his face was expressionless, it could be seen that he was a little at a loss, obviously not understanding the situation.

Chu Qing watched Chu Rui walk in with a smile, and told Chu Rui about the current situation.

Chu Rui didn't speak. He picked up the two test papers, frowned and looked at them for a long time. After putting down the test papers, he said simply and simply, "I think Brother Meng is better."

Chu Qing's face remained unchanged, and he smiled and half teased, "Does the second emperor have any opinions? Could it be that he is partial to him because of his good relationship with Meng?"

Chu Rui glanced at him lightly, completely ignoring his stingy words, put down the test paper and looked at Chu Aotian, "Father, although this Li Jingming has a solid idea, he still retains some pedantic ideas, and his writing is gentle. , not crisp enough, compared to Meng Zhenzhi who is neat and straightforward, with three points of insight, I think he is slightly better."

After hearing what he said, Chu Aotian narrowed his eyes with a smile, and nodded, "Rui'er said something in my heart, and I thought so, so it seems that Rui'er understands me better, hahahaha."

Chu Qing lowered his eyes aside.

Chu Rui frowned, he didn't take Chu Aotian's words to heart, he would go to listen to the bamboo building later, and he didn't bother to stay here anymore, so he cupped his hands at Chu Aotian, "Father, there are other things. Is it something? If there is no more, then the minister will retreat first."

Chu Aotian waved his hand, "Okay, okay, I don't know you yet, and I'm going to find Xiaoliu again? Go, go."

Anyway, he has already got the answer he wanted, and it has played a role in knocking mountains and shaking tigers. Knowing that Chu Rui doesn't like to interfere in political affairs, he doesn't force him.

When Chu Rui heard the first half of Chu Aotian's words, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said in his heart that he didn't always go to Chu Yu, did he?

After Chu Rui left, Chu Aotian looked at Wu Shixuan, who was watching his heart, and then at Chu Qing, who was hanging his eyes from the side, "Since that's the case, do you two have any other opinions? If not So it was settled."

Wu Shixuan sighed inwardly, Chu Qing nodded, "Not anymore."

Chu Aotian waved to the eunuch beside him, "Go and draw up the decree."

The eunuch withdrew.

Chu Aotian waved his hand, making Wu Shixuan and Chu Qing also retreat.

Walking out of Qianqing Palace, Wu Shixuan saw that there was no one else around, and said mockingly, "It seems that His Royal Highness still doesn't understand His Majesty's mind enough."

Chu Qing was already in a bad mood, but when he saw him making things worse, he glanced at him indifferently, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "The prince has never dared to speculate about the Sacred Heart, so I ask Mr. Wu to speak carefully."

Wu Shixuan was still in his hands, so he didn't dare to say anything more, snorted coldly, and walked away.

Chu Qing looked at Wu Shixuan's leaving back, unconsciously clenched his fists hidden under his sleeves, rubbed his painful temples, and said to Xiao Fuzi, "Go back."

Little Fuzi didn't dare to say a word, and silently followed his footsteps.

On the day of the next list, some are happy and some are worried.

There are those who have obtained fame and fame for decades and finally become ecstatic, and there are also people who searched back and forth on the list but failed to find their name and returned home lost.

According to the regulations of the Liang Kingdom, after the autumn exam, there will be a banquet in the palace, and the people in the palace and the ministers of the court will be invited to participate. The protagonists are the top three in the autumn exam, not only for pleasure and leisure, but also for conferring the throne .

When Chu Yu was young, it was not that she was ignorant of the affairs of the palace. When holding banquets in the palace, there would often be the sound of silk and bamboo music and the interlacing of cups and cups, which seemed to add a bit of popularity to Qi Qi's cold palace.

At this time, the people in the palace would tell the young Chu Yu what happened outside the palace, and occasionally the maids from outside would come to send some gifts from the emperor at the banquet.

Children have curiosity, Chu Yu is not interested in the rewards of food, he is only interested in the bustle outside, but he dare not show it, fearing that his longing expression will make his mother and concubine sad, so he pretends not to care appearance.

This is the first time that Chu Yu can participate in such a large-scale banquet in the palace. It is the news from the eunuch beside Chu Aotian. Following the eunuch is a benevolent embroidered lady.

Chu Yu remembered her, she also came to measure his size a few days ago.

Xiu Niang brought a ruler, supported Chu Yu's shoulder with one hand, measured Chu Yu's body, and smiled flatteringly, "The Sixth Prince seems to have grown taller than before."

Chu Yu let her fiddle with it, but when she heard this, she looked at her in surprise, "Is it true?"

Seeing that the young boy with Zhong Lingminxiu was smiling so nicely, Xiuniang didn't have the nerve to say that she was coaxing him, so she stroked the back of her head honestly and nodded her head bravely.

Weicheng thought it was just an unintentional sentence, Chu Yu seemed to really care, and after the person left, he pulled Lan'er and asked, "Sister Lan'er, do you think I have grown taller?"

Lan'er didn't know why her master was so concerned about height all of a sudden, seeing his anticipation, she nodded perfunctorily and coaxed, "Your Highness, you have indeed grown taller. "

When Chu Rui came that day, Chu Yu deliberately stood in front of him and dangled.

In the end, he made Chu Rui upset, "What are you doing standing and walking around, you are so excited to have a delicious feast right now?"

Hearing his words, Chu Yu was dissatisfied that she was such a person in his heart, and walked to his side, "Brother Huang, what changes do you think I have made recently?"

Chu Rui looked him up and down, hesitantly said, "Are you fat?"

Chu Yu,"........"

He frowned, "Nonsense! I'm not fat."

Seeing that he was annoyed, Chu Rui coaxed him in a very perfunctory manner, "Okay, okay, you are not fat, tell me, what changes have you made?"

Chu Yu swaggered up to him, and walked around in front of him triumphantly, "Brother Huang, don't you think I've grown taller?"

"..." Chu Rui was silent for a while, and asked, "Just because of this?"

Chu Yu nodded solemnly.

Chu Rui was speechless for a long time, suddenly laughed, stood up, stretched out a hand, and pressed his head to his chest.

"How is it, are you still tall?"

Chu Rui was a whole head taller than him. At first Chu Yu thought she had grown taller, but when compared with him, she realized that she was still so short that she only reached his chest.

Chu Yu pushed him away angrily, "Second Brother!"

Chu Rui patted his head with one hand, as a comfort, "You are almost there, and it will grow in the future."

Chu Yu,"........"

He also began to hate Chu Rui a little bit.

Seeing him sullen like a frost-beaten eggplant, Chu Rui tried to make up, "Actually, you did grow taller."

Chu Yu glanced at him, and said in a muffled voice, "Yes, it's just that it's not obvious enough compared to Brother Huang."

Chu Rui sighed, and changed the subject, "Didn't my father ask Xiu Niang to make a lot of new clothes and send them over? You can try it, have you decided what to wear on the day of the banquet?"

Chu Yu shook her head, "Whatever, I'm not a little girl, it doesn't matter what I wear."

Chu Rui's eyes swept across his face, and he said, "But it may be too late to pick that day, why not try it first? I can help you see it."

Chu Yu didn't want to try on the clothes, but Lan Er paid attention to the clothes after they were delivered, checked each one, and chatted excitedly with Chu Yu, if not all the clothes were made in Chu Yu's size, he would have given them all to Lan Er .

Chu Yu sighed, "There is one thing I like very much, but Lan'er said it's too plain."

Chu Rui glanced at him calmly, "I think you'd better listen to Lan Er in this regard."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly turned around and looked at Lan'er, "You can choose the clothes that day, and if he doesn't want to, just tell me."

Chu Yu didn't like to show off, he didn't want his little brother to dress plainly at the banquet, and be looked down upon by those gossiping concubines and ministers.

Lan Er hurriedly nodded gratefully, "Your servant obeys."

Chu Rui glared at the lazy Chu Yu, "Don't be willful, this banquet is very important."

Chu Yu sighed, and reluctantly agreed.

In a casual sentence, Chu Rui originally just hoped that Chu Yu would not dress so shabby, so that others would think that he was still the unfavored sixth prince, who knew that Lan'er misinterpreted his meaning.

Originally thought that Chu Yu would not follow orders, but who knew that he accepted Lan Er's arrangement calmly afterwards.

Then such an accident happened.

On the day of the banquet, Chu Rui rushed to Qianqing Palace after finishing his work.

Although he wanted to watch Chu Yu, he was really busy on the day of the banquet, so he didn't have time to look for Chu Yu, and after barely catching up, he searched for Chu Yu's figure in the crowd.

Sweeping his eyes over all kinds of competing concubines and colorfully dressed princes and princesses, Chu Rui found Chu Yu in the crowd without much effort.

Glancing at him, Chu Rui never regretted what he said to Lan'er before.

It wasn't that Lan'er failed his expectations, but exceeded his expectations too much, so that the man was clearly sitting in the middle of the crowd, but he was stunned like a crowd of stars, overwhelming the crowd.

Today, his imperial brother is extraordinarily good-looking.
