The three of them sat down in the study room, facing Yan Huisheng. Su Xing was a bit reserved, but Su Rong was much more natural.
There were still considerate refreshments in the study. Su Rong only drank porridge in the morning to pad her stomach and was not full. Now that she saw the delicious snacks, she had an appetite. After wiping her hands with a handkerchief, she ate with tea.
Piece after piece.
Su Xingze looked at Su Rong with difficulty in speaking.
Yan Huisheng asked with a warm smile: "You didn't have breakfast this morning? Do you want me to ask someone to bring you some?"
"I've eaten." Su Rong shook his head, "I just ate less."
She echoed to Yan: "Your Highness, please ask someone to prepare lunch. My eldest brother and I will accompany you to have lunch in the East Palace."
Yan Huisheng smiled and nodded, said "Hello" and continued to give instructions.
Yan Huisheng congratulated Su Xingze, "Master Su, congratulations to Jinbang High School. If you perform as usual in the palace examination, my father will probably select you as the number one scholar. In this way, you will really get the third grade, which is rare. I remember
, Mr. Xie Yuanxie also passed three yuan in that year. He was the first person in the history of Daliang to pass three yuan. You are the second one. You are worthy of being his student."
Su Xingze said quickly: "Thank you very much, Your Highness. Your Highness has given me the award. I can't compare it to Mr. Xie. It's much worse."
Yan Hui laughed, "No need to be too modest. Mr. Xie was about the same age as you when he was in high school. You two are quite comparable."
Su Xingze shook his head again, "Young Master did not take part in the palace examination on Thursday, which would be an advantage for me. If he also takes part in the palace examination, Your Majesty may not necessarily select me as the number one scholar."
Yan Huisheng laughed and said: "It is true that he traveled out and did not participate in the palace examination. But it is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if you two are put together and are equally matched, my father will definitely choose you. He will not let you
The Protector's Palace has a higher reputation. Otherwise, if the Protector's Palace controls the army, if there are more literary champions, the flowers will be like a brocade."
Su Xingze laughed, "So, I've taken advantage of my birth status."
"Born can indeed determine some things, but talent cannot be let down." Yan Huihui gestured to Su Xingze to drink tea, "Have you decided which department you want to go to? Should you enter the Hanlin Academy? Or enter the Sixth Department to gain experience?"
Su Xingze picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said to Yan, "I want to enter the Sixth Division."
Yan Huisheng was slightly surprised, "Don't want to enter the Hanlin Academy? I thought you wanted to enter the Hanlin Academy."
"Originally I wanted to enter the Hanlin Academy to pass the qualifications, but..." He glanced at Su Rong and said honestly: "I heard from Qimei two days ago that there is a fear of chaos in the General Pingxi Mansion in northern Hebei, and His Highness will definitely send someone to northern Hebei.
, I am thinking about asking His Highness if you can give me the next opportunity to go to Northern Hebei?"
Yan Huisheng sat up straight and asked, "You mean... you want to pass through Northern Hebei and get promoted quickly through meritorious service?"
"right."
Yan Hui corrected his tone, "Northern Hebei is very dangerous. I have been thinking about it for two days, but I haven't found anyone to go. You are the only son of the Governor Su and Mrs. Su. If something happens to you, the Su family can afford it."
?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Rong, "Do you agree with him going?"
Su Rong nodded, "My eldest brother also has some martial arts skills. Although he is not as good as me, ordinary people can't get in. I think he doesn't need to go to the Imperial Academy and waste three years in vain. As long as he enters the court, he can be recognized by His Highness.
Put it to good use. In addition, I also plan to go to Northern Hebei. It would be better if we, brother and sister, go to Northern Hebei after the Qionglin Banquet to help His Highness put down the threat in Northern Hebei."
Yan Huisheng frowned, "You want to go to Northern Hebei too?"
He shook his head, "It's too dangerous, I don't want you to go."
"Is Northern Hebei more dangerous than Southern Chu? Your Highness should give me a chance to use Northern Hebei as a training ground. I can't even compete with Northern Hebei. If I go to Southern Chu, won't I be chopped up and drunk?" Su Rong
He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I think my idea is excellent. After all, you can't find a suitable candidate yet. Zhang Ping has never met my eldest brother and me. We two brothers and sisters have grown up together.
, we understand each other best, and we will definitely be able to cooperate well."
Yan Huisheng was silent for a moment and said, "You guys, Rong Gu, think carefully before making a decision."
Su Rong nodded, "Okay. There's no rush anyway."
She pinched some more snacks and continued to eat. After eating a piece, she said "Huh?", pointed to the plate in front of her and asked, "Did the East Palace have a new dim sum chef? I never had this dish when I lived in the East Palace.
."
Yan Hui laughed, "No, it's just that the dim sum chef knows that you like to eat dim sum, and he has recently researched new ones."
Su Rong nodded repeatedly, "It's delicious."
Yan Huisheng said warmly: "Since you think it tastes good, ask the pastry chef to make more. When you leave, take two boxes."
Su Rong said "hmm" twice, "Okay." After finishing her words, she added, "I want ten boxes."
Yan Hui said in surprise, "You want so much? Is it so delicious?"
"It's delicious, but I want so much. Isn't it enough? Have you forgotten? My mother and six sisters have come to the capital now. I'm thinking of them." Su Rong said: "And my eldest brother and
Fengling."
Yan Hui responded suddenly, "I just forgot."
He immediately ordered Xiao Quanzi to go to the kitchen.
Su Xingze wanted to say that he didn't want to eat, but he didn't say it out loud. He thought silently that this was the East Palace, where you could eat and take food. Being so rude was really in line with Su Rong's temperament. And he also discovered that
The prince was very relaxed in front of Su Rong, without any rules or airs. It was very different from the day when he met the prince at the Chengguo Palace. Yan Huisheng did not act like a prince in front of Su Rong.
Casual and natural.
After Su Rong ate one piece of each plate of snacks, she wiped her hands and stopped eating, leaving room for lunch.
Seeing that she stopped eating, Yan Huisheng asked Su Xingze: "Mr. Su, do you want to take a tour of Gu's East Palace? The scenery of Gu's East Palace is pretty good. Can I take you for a walk alone?"
Su Xingze understood, thinking that Yan Huisheng wanted to talk to Su Rong in private, so he nodded and stood up, "This is my first time in the East Palace. If it is convenient for Your Highness, I will be troubled."
Yan Hui said, "It's convenient, no trouble." Then he ordered Xiao Chengzi to take Su Xingze to the palace to enjoy the scenery.
Xiao Chengzi was very happy. This was a sign that His Highness valued him. Last time he accompanied Miss Su Qi to visit the East Palace, and this time he accompanied Miss Su Qi's brother. This shows that his business is highly recognized by His Highness.
After Su Xingze left, Yan Huisheng looked at Su Rong and asked her: "I heard that you and Mr. Ye went to Zhou Gu's Meishan Villa to appreciate plum blossoms yesterday?"
Su Rong nodded, "Your Highness is well-informed."
"You're not alone in the news, it's spread throughout the capital." Yan Hui shook his head, "You know, everyone in the capital pays close attention to every move you and Ye Guixue make."
Su Rong said directly: "Whatever your Highness wants to say, just say it directly! If you beat around the bush like this, I don't bother to think about it."
Yan Huisheng laughed, choked by her straight shot, and rubbed her brows helplessly, "I just want to ask you, does your engagement with Ye Guixue still exist?"
