Nightwatcher

After Yu Linwei came to Dexin Garden, he was told that Huai Qing had just finished his sword practice and was taking a bath, so Xu Qi'an was asked to wait outside.

Hey, did you take a shower on purpose when you heard that I was coming? Xu Qi'an was happy in his heart.

So I waited outside Dexin Garden for a quarter of an hour, and the little maid wearing a light yellow palace skirt stepped over the threshold and said softly, "Master Xu, Your Highness welcomes you."

Entering Yayuan, I saw Huaiqing in vain in the reception hall, her beautiful face was flushed with two touches of blush, and her eyes were shining brightly.

A little more feminine, less noble and glamorous.

There is a feeling of being alive.

Only in this way can she have a feminine taste. She is glamorous and noble all day long, holding on to the airs of a princess, not cute at all. Xu Qi'an clasped her fists:

"I have seen His Highness in a humble position."

Huaiqing asked the court lady to serve tea, her voice was cold and pleasant: "Master Xu, why are you looking for me?"

"The humble cousin won the Huiyuan, but he was born in Yunlu Academy, and the lowly position is worried about his future." Xu Qi'an sincerely asked for advice:

"I wonder if Your Highness has any good plans?"

For things that you can't figure out, it is the best choice to ask smart people, and you must learn to use all tools reasonably. If the eldest princess has no idea, he will ask Wei Yuan.

Huaiqing's eyes flickered, she took a sip of tea, and she immediately understood what Xu Qi'an meant. This is because we don't want Xu Cijiu to be branded as a "eunuch".

A wise man will never put all his chips in one place.

Although Xu Ningyan is a martial artist, he is extremely smart. Huai Qing smiled: "You have been to Qingzhou, how much do you know about it?"

"Officials are governed by Qingming, Ziyang Layman governs Qingzhou in an orderly manner"

Speaking of this, Xu Qi'an suddenly understood Huaiqing's meaning, Qingzhou is now Ziyang Layman's speech hall, with him sitting in Qingzhou, if the students of Yunlu Academy go to Qingzhou to work, they will definitely be able to show their strengths and not be suppressed.

"Qingzhou is the pure land opened up by Yunlu Academy for Confucian students." The eldest princess didn't let it go.

This is my younger brother who has been passed down from generation to generation, and I can't bear him to go to Qingzhou. Brother Xingqianli is worried!

Xu Qi'an let out a sigh of relief: "I understand."

Forget it, let Erlang stay in the capital first, and then find a way later. Perhaps, he can find a backer by himself.

"By the way, I don't know if His Highness is interested in dialogue books and novels?" Xu Qi'an looked at him poorly.

"I never look at those things."

Princess Huaiqing's haughty tone was like a female doctor saying: Internet novels? Oh, I never watch that stuff!

"I found a good book. Your Highness can read it when you have nothing to do. Please keep it a secret for me." Xu Qi'an took out "The Domineering Lady Falls in Love with Me" from her pocket and put it on the case.

Huaiqing didn't even look at it, just nodded politely.

After sending Xu Qi'an away, she was just about to order the maid to put away the novel and deal with it by herself, but when she glanced over the cover, her eyes suddenly froze.

Domineering lady fell in love with my lady? !

Huaiqing immediately became interested in such a rebellious title, so he simply had nothing to do, so it didn't hurt to take a look at it.

So she sat down again and opened the novel with the name Treason.

The story is about a scholar who strayed into the devil world. He is full of talent and knowledge. But the residents of the Demon Realm want to eat the scholar, so they set up a frying pan to fry him.

At this time, Nvjun appeared. Nvjun is the only scholar in the devil world, with super wisdom and culture. She rescued the scholar and raised him in her harem, and the two recited poems against each other, talking about the past and the present.

During the process, the female gentleman fully demonstrated her domineering and ruthless style, but she cared about the scholar very much, but she didn't know how to show it. Her favorite catchphrase was: Man, you are playing with fire.

Huaiqing has never seen such an interesting novel, it has no depth at all, let alone knowledge, it is as different from the obscure ancient books she loves to read.

But, I don't know why, it's just some trivial things in life, boring conversations, but it seems to have a special magic power.

Huaiqing couldn't help but want to see the heroine's various people appear in front of her? !

That’s right, it’s the appearance of the Holy Spirit in front of people.

Trample men under their feet, raise men in the harem, and treat men with domineering and cruel attitudes, but even such a cruel queen has tenderness in her heart.

And the scholar, he was obedient to the female monarch, and thought of her in every way. He will also get angry and jealous because the queen and the generals of the devil world drink.

Before she knew it, at dusk, she actually watched it for more than two hours.

Huaiqing discovered another advantage of this novel, it, it does not need to use brains.

The fun is over.

After having fun, Huaiqing suddenly felt angry, what did I do?

I read such a book without nutrition and knowledge for two hours? ! What is the difference between this and wasting life, how can we waste time and energy on such nutrientless things.

She felt deeply guilty about it.

"Just an idle book"

Huaiqing dismissed the book aside, got up and left the living room, a few minutes later, she turned back, hid the book in her sleeve and took it away.

It's definitely not for reviewing it when you sleep at night, but this book can't be seen by others, just like those secret books in the boudoir, it can't be seen.

At the same time, Shaoyin Garden and Lin'an were immersed in "The Great Sage of Love" and could not extricate themselves.

"Yuan, it turns out that the love between men and women is such a thing, ah, how can a dog slave show this kind of thing to me."

Lin'an rolled on the bed, her face was flushed, she saw the 5,000-word content of Zixia Fairy and Long Aotian's bed sheet, she yelled: I hate it.

While reading it word by word, I made up the picture by the way.

Then she felt her body was hot, her legs rubbed against each other from time to time, her round face was as red as a ripe apple, and her peach blossom eyes were already charming, but after being covered with a layer of water mist, they became more seductive and seductive. .

However, the embellishment of the story of the love between men and women, the core of the story is the love story between Fairy Zixia and Long Aotian.

The first two-thirds are high-sweet love, and the last third is the knife.

Seeing that Long Aotian was skinned and boned, sent into reincarnation as an animal for eternity, and Fairy Zixia was imprisoned in Guanghan Palace forever, Lin'an found that the pillow was wet.

She sniffled and said angrily, "Why is there nothing down there? Dog slave, why is there nothing down here."

After scolding indignantly, she called the maid to come in and said, "I want to take a bath, so prepare hot water."

"?"

The palace maid said in surprise, "It's time to eat, how about taking a bath?"

Zhan Zhan suddenly became angry from embarrassment: "Go as soon as I tell you."

Soon, the hot water was ready, and after the maid adjusted the water temperature, she served Lin'an to take a bath.

Her white body was soaked in the water, with petals floating on the surface of the water, revealing round and thin jade shoulders and a pair of delicate collarbones.

"Tell me, among the guards around me, which one is the most handsome, the most talented, the funniest, and the most loyal to me?" Lin'an asked suddenly.

"They're all very loyal. As for being interesting and talented, I don't know about it. However, if it wasn't for the guards, I would have someone in my mind."

"Who is it!" Zhuangjia immediately asked.

"It's Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu is handsome, talented and funny, and he often makes your highness happy. Although he is not a bodyguard, he is your confidant, and he is not a scholar, but a watchman. He can barely be considered a bodyguard."

Lin'an bit her lip, gently moved the petals, the petals spread out, she saw her own face vaguely reflected in the rippling water waves, her face was beautiful, her face was blushing, she seemed a little shy.

The imperial city, the palace!

In the study of Shoufu Wang Zhenwen, the golden-red sunset shines in from the lattice windows. Wang Shoufu, who is over fifty years old, has finished approving the papers and sweeping them all to the corner.

But spread out a piece of rice paper, press it on the paperweight, and pick up a pen to write. At this moment, Miss Wang came in with a bowl of wolfberry and ginseng soup.

Wang Shoufu ignored it, took advantage of the spirit in his chest, and wrote.

A golden bottle of sake is worth ten thousand dollars, and a jade plate is ashamed of ten thousand dollars.

The road is difficult, the road is difficult, and there are many divergent roads. Now I am safe.

There will be times when the wind and the waves cleave, hang the clouds and sail straight to the sea.

Miss Wang put down the ginseng soup, leaned over to take a look, couldn't look away for a long time, and murmured: "Father, you have written a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation.

"When this poem of yours comes out, the court must be shocked."

As a female literary youth, I still have the ability to appreciate. Miss Wang was overwhelmed by the spirit in this poem.

Wang Shoufu shook his head, took a sip of ginseng tea, and breathed out comfortably: "I didn't write this, it was written by the new Huiyuan. Didn't you go to the Gongyuan today, didn't you see it?

"It is said that he is a handsome man, a rare handsome man."

"Daughter didn't see it, she just joined in the fun." Miss Wang denied it vehemently, looking at the table frequently.

"It took a lot of hard work for my father to put the poems on the imperial examination back then, and there was a lot of resistance."

Wang Shoufu tapped his finger on the paper, worked earnestly, and smiled cheerfully: "Now that such a masterpiece has been published, I feel proud of my father, and I am worthy of the scholars in the world, worthy of my ancestors, and did not let the treasure of poetry completely decline."

After the apricot list came out, Xu Nian's song "It's Difficult to Travel" was spread among the marking officials, and those who heard it applauded, and their blood boiled.

After a few days of brewing, this poem will spread throughout the capital and be widely sung.

"I heard that Huiyuan is a student of Yunlu Academy." Miss Wang said "inadvertently".

Wang Shoufu pondered for a moment, and said with emotion: "It's a pity."

The civil officials of the imperial court rejected the scholars of Yunlu Academy. As the chief assistant, he set an example for civil officials, and there was no room for retrogression in this regard.

The more talented Xu Nian is, the more vigilant Wang Shoufu is, the less he will use him.

"father!"

Ms. Wang helped pack the booklets, and said: "My daughter wants to hold a literary meeting at the residence, and invite famous scholars in Beijing to participate, and I can call it in your name."

The founder of the Wenhui must be a person of high morals and respect, Miss Wang is not qualified for this. However, she has held many literary meetings in the mansion, all in the name of Wang Shoufu.

Just after the Spring Festival, it is reasonable to hold a literary meeting.

Wang Shoufu nodded and said, "Okay."

Qingyun Mountain, Yunlu Academy.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, on the official road, a horse galloped forward, kicking up dust.

The horses stopped at the foot of the mountain, and the student in Confucian shirt jumped off the horse, holding a list in his hand, and rushed to the top of the mountain quickly.

"Good News Good News"

While shouting, he ran wildly and quickly entered the academy.

Along the way, students heard the sound and came out to check and ask questions. The students who reported the letter ignored them and went straight to the study of the great Confucian Zhang Shen.

Zhang Shen, who had heard the news, had already been waiting outside the study, looking at the student who reported the letter with a calm expression.

"Scholars must be calm, and neither great joy nor sorrow can shake their minds."

After making a point, Zhang Shen showed a smile: "Look at your expression, the students who want to come to participate in Chunwei are all awarded as Gongshi."

"Sir, it's not just Zhonggong." The student who reported the letter shouted excitedly: "Xu Cijiu has won Huiyuan."

Zhang Shen thought he heard it wrong, and said in a deep voice, "Huiyuan?!"

The letter-reporting student nodded vigorously, "This is the list of academy students nominated by Xingbang, Xu Cijiu is indeed Huiyuan, it is absolutely true."

Zhang Shen excitedly grabbed the list, on which were the names and rankings of the academy students who participated in Chunwei this time.

The first one is Xu Cijiu, and the first place is Huiyuan.

Zhang Shen looked at the list, and for a long time, he suddenly let out a "wow" and shouted: "Principal, Chen Tai, Li Mubai, my students have won the prize, my students have won the prize."

The student who reported the letter was dumbfounded.

Soon, the courtyard Zhao Shou and the two great scholars were alarmed, and they appeared outside Zhang Shen's study by bragging about Dafa, ignoring the distance.

The gray-haired and sloppy Dean Zhao Shou was the first to ask, "Really? That student won the prize?"

"Let's bid farewell to the old days!"

Zhang Shen said proudly.

Zhao Shou frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "The student who has never lost a fight?"

"This shows that his eloquence is unparalleled." Zhang Shen said.

"congratulations!"

Li Mubai and Chen Tai were both happy and sour.

The students of Yunlu Academy are naturally happy when they won the Huiyuan. Every gentleman in the academy will be happy, and even dance and get drunk.

But it didn't stop them from being sour, because Xu Cijiu was Zhang Shen's student.

Dean Zhao Shou frowned and said, "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be Huiyuan. What did you do when you resigned?"

In the previous annual exams, there must be cheating in this session. Xu Cijiu is a student of Yunlu Academy, so cheating has no part in him.

But if it all depends on strength, it seems a bit far-fetched.

Zhang Shen restrained his joy, and said "hmm", "The policy and scriptures for resigning from the old are all the best choices, but if you want to say that they are amazing, they are not so good."

But if it is not amazing talent, how can at least two of the three executives support him?

When he heard the student's report just now, he himself suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Seeing that the student who reported the letter was still there, Li Mubai waved and called him over, and asked, "Any news from the capital?"

Originally it was just a casual question, but the student who reported the letter nodded immediately, "Yes, after copying the apricot list, the students also felt that Xu Cijiu's Huiyuan was a bit unusual, so they invited a grader to have a meal.

"'Meal money' is fifteen taels, and I'm going to ask the academy for reimbursement."

Several great scholars nodded. The students cultivated by Yunlu Academy are all extremely capable in handling affairs, and they are not pedantic and rigid.

After the report student finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "I heard from the lord that Xu Cijiu wrote a poem in the third session, which was praised by the Dongge University scholar. The other examiners were also very convinced. Coupled with his excellent results in the first two exams, this is why he became a club member."

poetry?

Several Confucian scholars looked at each other in blank dismay.

PS: Change first and then change.
