At night, Yao Jiuye was particularly clingy and refused to let go of Lu Qingling.
Gu Qingling knew that the little one hadn't seen her for a day and missed her. She didn't mind, so she had someone clear up the quilt early and took Yao Jiuye to bed.
Taking out the early education stories produced by Yao Anhong and others, Gu Qingling told him one in earnest.
I don’t know if Yao Jiuye understood it, but he was happy to listen. He followed Gu Qingling’s words and said “Ahhh” from time to time, as if he was really listening.
That night, when Yao Jiuye slept, he held Gu Qingling's sleeve.
The next day, Uncle Yao, Second Master Yao, Third Master Yao, and Yao Anhong all got up late.
However, everyone knew that they had just come out of the examination room and had worked very hard, so no one blamed them. On the contrary, they thoughtfully kept breakfast warm in the kitchen, waiting for them to get up and enjoy it at any time.
When it was over, they went to Gu Qingling's yard to greet him, and then were put back to rest.
They had been preparing for the exam, and suddenly they relaxed. They really didn't know what to do, so after a while, several people gathered together and started reading.
To be precise, I dug out the previous wrong questions and reviewed them again.
The fact that these people were so obedient was somewhat beyond Gu Qingling's expectations.
Uncle Yao and Yao Anhong are fine, but when did Second Master Yao become so serious about studying?
She thought that after finally finishing the first exam, Mr. Yao would have to find a way to go out and have fun. Even if he couldn't go out, he would find excuses to have fun at home. But in the end, this kid actually got together with other people to "review"?
"Did you... learn how to feel?" After hearing what the servant said, Gu Qingling asked him to go down with a look of surprise.
She really didn't want to keep an eye on them, it was just that the situation was special these days, and she was afraid that someone would be ignorant and slip up at the critical moment.
"Old lady, then you are wrong. The second master is so filial to you and listens to your words. Of course he will work hard at this critical moment." The eldest maid Chunchun directly hugged the second master Yao and said, "
If the second master hears you say this, he will definitely feel aggrieved."
Gu Qingling laughed: "You can't blame others, and it doesn't matter what he did before. I asked him to study, and he said that he was not good at studying. I asked him to take the imperial examination, and he said that Brother Hong would take the exam for him in the future.
He's taking the imperial examination... He's such an old man, so he has the nerve to do it."
"Old lady, then you are wrong. People say that children are like uncles. The second master said that because young master Hong is like an elder. He has loved reading since he was a child. The second master is also afraid of disappointing you, so he asked you to
I place my hope on Young Master Hong to give you something to look forward to."
Gu Qingling glared at her, her eyes full of smiles: "What benefit did the second master give you to let you speak for him like this?"
The eldest maid smiled in spring: "Second Master did not do me any favors. What I will say is that you, the old lady, gave me the courage."
"You, you... your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, maybe you learned it from that girl Qiu?"
…
Beijing.
After the New Year, Li Wenchong wanted to run away, but unfortunately, the memorial he submitted was turned back by Emperor Mingguang.
The reason why Emperor Mingguang called back was very simple: "You just came back not long ago, why do you want to run outside again? What is there in the capital that bites your feet and keeps wanting to run outside?"
Li Wenchong was very helpless. He didn't want to run so fast, but the problem was that the person he wanted to verify his identity was not in the capital.
He still had to find out whether that woman was the one Qingzhu found for him.
If he doesn't die, Qingzhu will also give up; if he does...
If so, Li Wenchong didn't know what to do for a while. Anyway, he didn't really believe that the woman was.
If she was, then why did those women still die when he tried to "sleep" with them again?
It can't be possible, she is the only one who is "special", right?
Qingzhu: "..."
But I just saw it!
Li Wenchong glared at him and told him to shut up.
In the main hall, Emperor Mingguang was approving the memorial in front of the table, as if he had forgotten that there was another person kneeling in the hall.
Li Wenchong was kneeling well at the beginning, but when he knelt behind him, he didn't bother to kneel so straight. He sat down on his hind legs, and secretly waved to Li Guizi, the eunuch next to Emperor Mingguang, to signal him to give him some.
Come in with food and drink.
The great eunuch Li Guizi was so embarrassed, but he didn't dare not to give it away. After all, Li Wenchong was Emperor Mingguang's most beloved younger brother. As long as he didn't rebel, let alone just eat something secretly, he would eat it openly in front of Emperor Mingguang.
, Emperor Mingguang would not say anything.
Of course, it is possible for Emperor Mingguang to pretend to be angry and curse a few words.
It's just that this matter between the two brothers is really not something that the eunuch Li Guizi can get involved in.
After a while, the little eunuch brought the things in. The big eunuch Li Guizi took them and respectfully placed the tray next to Li Wenchong's legs.
Then, Li Wenchong, who was sitting on his heels, moved and became sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Emperor Mingguang, who was reviewing the memorial, glanced at it, twitched the corner of his mouth, and continued to criticize his memorial as if he didn't see it.
It wasn't until Li Wenchong finished the plate of snacks and drank almost all the tea and asked the eunuch Li Guizi to send him away that Emperor Mingguang pretended to have remembered something and raised his head.
At this moment, Li Wenchong quickly knelt down, his body straight and upright.
"Ahem!" Emperor Mingguang coughed lightly and said, "Why are you still here?"
"Brother Emperor didn't let me step down, so I've been kneeling here." There was no word "guilty" on Li Wenchong's face.
"Just keep kneeling?"
"Kneel all the time."
"You're really not that thick-skinned. Okay, get up."
"Thank you, Brother Huang!" Li Wenchong stood up generously and pretended to move his knees, as if he had been kneeling for a long time.
Emperor Mingguang simply didn't want to see him: "Gungun... I don't want to see you now!"
Li Wenchong was overjoyed and said immediately: "Brother Huang, did you agree?"
"If I don't agree, how long are you going to kneel down? Get out of here, lest I get annoyed by looking at you."
"Okay, my brother, get out of here right away! Brother, don't worry, after my brother goes out, I will definitely write you a letter every month to let you know about my brother's safety..."
"Who wants to know your safety? Just don't cause trouble for me outside all day long. No one is watching you. I'm afraid you will upset me."
Emperor Mingguang said this, but how could he not be worried about Li Wenchong's safety in his heart?
It's just that Li Wenchong's situation is quite special. It's too conspicuous for him to stay in the capital, so it's better to leave it outside so that people don't worry about it. That's it. There are always people in the Zongren Mansion who think that Li Wenchong is already thirty years old and there is no one in the backyard.
A serious princess would always come to him and cry, saying that he had treated her own brother harshly and asked him to arrange a...
But, is this something he can arrange if he wants?
Emperor Mingguang had a headache.
Others don't know Li Wenchong's situation, but he knows that, not to mention that there are no serious princesses in Prince Chong's palace, even the women in the backyard are just "decorations" to silence everyone.
In fact, Li Wenchong was poisoned by a strange poison and could not touch a woman at all. If he touched a woman, he would die and he was doomed to be alone for the rest of his life.
