The triennial imperial examinations have already begun. The Crown Prince sits in person, with Bo Shangshu invigilating the examinations, and the Zuo Prime Minister and the Second Prince assisted. This year's imperial examinations are the most rigorous one in so many years. Invigilation.
The prince in black robes is heroic and powerful. Although his handsome face is a bit feminine and too delicate, there is a gloomy aura between his eyebrows. His eyes are very bright, extremely black like gems. The cold light flashes from time to time With an unfathomable demonic nature, he kept looking at the rows of students sitting there who came to the imperial examination.
Standing beside the prince, Zuo Xiangyi was wearing a black inlaid blue-edged brocade robe, and walked in with a slightly windy footstep. He looks like a handsome man. The face is like a crown jade, the eyes are like stars, the sword eyebrows are neither thick nor light, like the distant mountain Modai, the narrow and long eyes are clear, the long body is jade-like, and the plumage is elegant. Seeing Zuo Xiang reminds people of Yushu Linfeng. four words.
As the Zuo Prime Minister, he should have followed behind the Prince, just like the Fourth Prince and Bai Shangshu, but today Zuo Prime followed the Prince and walked in unison. The Prince was not unhappy about such an unruly thing. Everyone looked at the two side by side. Also feel pleasing.
"Prince!" Everyone walked out of their seats and knelt down to salute. Most of these students were children from poor families. When they saw the prince, they felt a little grateful and longing, because they could just sit here and show their ambitions. In a certain way, the prince is their Bole, but for the official children, the actions of the prince made their teeth hurt. Originally, they were all determined to take the imperial examinations, but this year they were all trembling with fear.
Shang Wuxin sat in a high position, Huan Moche and Bai Shangshu were sitting beside him, and the fourth prince was sitting beside Bai Shangshu.
Shang Wuxin stretched out the wide sleeve of his right hand, and there was a gust of wind. Looking at the densely packed tables and chairs below, the students in white clothes, Shang Wuxin smiled with relief, "The imperial examinations, start now!"
The students got up and returned to their seats. The guards handed out test questions one by one, and the guards who distributed the test papers and even the guards who were safe in the imperial examination were actually bloody soldiers. Bai Shangshu got up and lit the incense and started timing. The entire examination room became quiet, but the silence lasted for less than half an hour.
"how so?"
"Why are the test questions different?"
From time to time, unbelievable voices from students sounded. Shang Wuxin sat in a high position and looked at the officials from the school with piercing eyes. Huan Moche also showed a smile like a spring breeze, while Bai Shangshu looked at the shouting students below with a disappointed smile. , while the fourth prince was surprised to see the prince showing a complicated look.
Every year in the imperial examinations, some people will sell the test questions in advance. Although this kind of thing is not made public, many people are aware of it in private. This time, Shang Wuxin had warned everyone not to touch their bottom line earlier, but he didn't want someone to sell the exam questions privately. But how did they know that there were two copies of all the exam papers, one was given to the officials below for preservation, and the other was for Huan Moche to keep. Unexpectedly, the test questions were sold out earlier, so today's test paper is actually another copy, and none of the test questions that those people spent so much money on were of use.
A student wearing a white jade crown looked at the test paper in his hand, his lips turned white, and he would not have none of them. He tore the test paper in front of him and roared incessantly, "Why is it different? Lie to me. , I'm going to kill you!"
A child spoiled by his family can't bear a little setback and blow.
Shang Wuxin sat there like a noble king looking at the words and deeds of everyone below, and gently raised his lips, incomparably cold and beautiful, but there was no smile in his eyes, and some pale lips emitted a cold expression. Voice "Kill!"
As soon as the prince's voice fell, the head of the student who was still irritable was chopped off by the Xue Shang army.
The blood-stained head rolled down the ground and rolled down to the feet of a student. The student stood up in horror and wanted to yell, but the guard who was still holding the saber was trembling with fear. Dare to speak up.
The student's headless body fell to the ground, blood scattered all over the place. Where have these students ever seen such a posture, many people are too afraid to hold their pen before taking the exam. Bai Shangshu looked at the situation below and glanced at the prince who was sitting there with a smile on his face. He didn't know whether to be relieved or a headache. .
"Murdered!" Some of the officials invigilating the exam sat on the chairs on either side and looked at the prince's methods and sweated in fear.
"Bengong said that cheating is not allowed. It seems that many people take Bengong's words as a deaf ear. However, Bengong doesn't mind using a little blood to let everyone remember Bengong's words!" He left the examination room with the head and the headless corpse in one hand.
Shang Wuxin stretched out his finger, "This! This! This..."
The students who were named in the direction of the prince's finger were all controlled by Xue Shangjun and dragged out of the examination room. Some officials could not see that they were about to exhort, but heard the voice of the prince's order, "Check with this palace how these people are. If you know the imperial examination questions, you can use punishment!"
These students who were pulled out were the ones who were surprised and dissatisfied when they received the test papers. Shang Wuxin had noticed from the beginning that she not only needed to catch these students, but also needed to find the officials who were selling the test papers behind their backs.
After the murder and the arrest of some students just now, the atmosphere of the imperial examination room became a little weird. The fourth prince looked at him and frowned and said, "Prince, did this affect the mood of the rest of the students? It's inappropriate!"
Some of the students were already pale with fright, and they agreed with the fourth prince. They came to the imperial examinations to get a title, but the prince's methods scared them and made them even more nervous.
The folding fan in Huan Moche's hand opened slightly, it was clearly spring, but Huan Moche, who was holding the folding fan, didn't have the slightest bit of peacekeeping, Huan Moche raised his voice slightly as he looked at the students below, "Being an official of the Shang Kingdom requires more than just It is talent, learning and tenacity, if you can't even see this, what can you do when you enter the court in the future, and how can you keep your heart and become a good official who is clean and honest for the country and the people?"
When everyone heard it, they thought it was justified, and the students calmed down slightly and began to write. Those with a bad temperament were strong and calm. After Huan Moche finished speaking, he looked at the prince who was sitting beside him. Although he wanted to be as coquettish as Han Xuanhao, Huan Moche couldn't sit out, so he could only look at the students below and peek at it Look at the prince.
Invigilation is actually a very boring thing. There are about a dozen invigilators together with the prince, not to mention the guards standing around the examination room and the guards who circle around outside the examination room. I was still interested in watching it, but after watching it for a while, I found that it looked like a black head and a brush that kept moving. I thought that the three days of the imperial examination and the literary test were one day each time. Wuxin's brows and eyes were a little sleepy, and he felt that he didn't want to come at all for the next two days.
Huan Moche saw that the eyes of the prince sitting beside him had begun to narrow slightly, and his head seemed to be unable to support it, and Huan Moche suddenly laughed when he tapped lightly from time to time. Looking at the students who were burying their heads in the written test and the officials carefully invigilating the test, Huan Moche gently placed the crown prince's small head on his shoulder.
Shang Wuxin was a little confused, but when he was close to Huan Moche's shoulder, he was awake for a moment, but when he found out that it was Huan Moche, Shang Wuxin narrowed his eyes again. The young man on his shoulder was hugged, and one of them fell asleep with his eyes closed and relaxed. If it was a man and a woman, others might think it was nothing, but because it was two men, the officials and students who raised their heads to see were very concerned. Surprised, even Bo Shangshu was a little stunned, and the fourth prince's eyes flashed violently, but a complicated smile appeared after a while.
The time passed in Shang Wuxin's dazed sleep, and today's illusory smile did not dissipate, the whole body exuded a pink aura, if anyone found someone looking at him strangely With the prince, Huan Moche would always deliberately block the prince's sleeping face.
"Wuxin?" Huan Moche looked at the time to wrap up the scroll. If he didn't wake up again, it would be bad for the prince's reputation and prestige. Huan Moche endured his distress and gently patted the prince on the back." Wake up? The exam is almost over!"
Shang Wuxin opened his eyes and saw that most of the incense had already burned. He knew that he had slept on Huan Moche's shoulder for a long time. When he woke up, Shang Wuxin was a little hungry. Rubbing his neck, Huan Moche's shoulders seemed to be a little thin, but Shang Wuxin leaned on it for a day to realize that this shoulder was actually so reliable.
Huan Moche felt a little sad when the prince left his shoulders, the weight of the prince was less on the shoulders, the smell of the prince was less on the side, and there was no breath of the prince at the neck. Mo Che's entire shoulder was already stiff and unable to move.
"Time's up! Unwind!" Shang Wuxin looked at the burning incense and ordered. Xue Shangjun immediately came to the examination room, directly collected each paper, and then sent it to a special place in the palace for approval.
The students went out one by one, but after a while, there were only examiners left in the entire examination room, and the examiners were a little tired after not eating or drinking all day. Shang Wuxin waved and everyone left, even Bai Shangshu. go down.
Huan Moche didn't want the prince to see the difference and stood up, but the coordination of his entire body was very abnormal.
The entire examination room was now left with the Bloody Army. Shang Wuxin pressed Huan Moche who stood up and sat down, and then put his small hand directly on Huan Moche's shoulder. Huan Moche was ready to stand up. , but was stopped by the prince.
When Shang Wuxin's little hand gently massaged Huan Moche's shoulder, Huan Moche's whole body stiffened.
"Relax!" Shang Wuxin patted Huan Moche's back lightly, and continued to massage while Huan Moche was relaxed. Shang Wuxin didn't know how to massage at all, but just pressed it casually to make the blood circulate.
Huan Moche could never have imagined that such a cold and lonely person would give him a massage. At this moment, Huan Moche felt that he was dreaming, but the obvious feeling on his shoulders made Huan Moche know that it was not a dream. . Huan Moche was very confused at this time. He found that since he came back from a serious injury that day and allowed the prince to torture his wounds, the prince seemed to have a slight change in his attitude towards him.
Huan Moche didn't know why, and Shang Wuxin also didn't know why. When she felt sleepy, Huan Moche gave herself a shoulder, but she did not refuse. She slept well on this unfamiliar shoulder, but when she woke up, she found that Moche had hardly moved in order to make her sleep well. She felt astonished and did such a thing at the same time.
"I'm fine!" Huan Moche's big slender hand covered Shang Wuxin's hand, and the two of them froze for a moment. Huan Moche immediately retracted his hand and stood up, "Hold up, I... I didn't mean to!" Huan Moche's hand in his sleeve was slightly shaken, the prince's hand was really small.
Shang Wuxin didn't mind, now that he has slowly changed under the infection of these people around him, he will not want to kill as soon as someone touches him like he used to, but this is only the person he identifies with.
When the two walked out of the examination room, it was already dark outside. The two did not take the carriage to prepare to walk back to the Prince’s Mansion. After all, it was not bad to walk back after sitting for a whole day. Fortunately, it was already night. The people noticed, and the two deliberately restrained their momentum.
But just when the two of them were going to have dinner at a restaurant belonging to the night without going back to the Prince's Mansion for dinner tonight, they met a person who surprised both of them.
Huan Moche and Shang Wuxin just walked into the restaurant when they saw a man and a woman on the opposite side preparing to leave the restaurant, their eyes were a little stunned.
Shang Wuxin looked at Leng Zishi and Leng Tiantian, who had not seen him for a long time. At this time, Leng Zishi had lost a lot of weight, and the baby face had also changed into a dimple at the corner of the mouth. Because there was no smile, the clear eyes were invisible. When mixed with a lot of the vicissitudes of life, it has become a little turbid.
Leng Tiantian, who was standing beside Leng Zishi, also changed a lot. Leng Tiantian was wearing an emerald and flowered crepe skirt, with a step swaying diagonally, and the pearl tassels swayed down. She bowed her head and looked like a painting, and she looked like a noble lady, but Shang Wuxin knew that Leng Tiantian was just a concubine of Leng Zishi, and more importantly, Leng Tiantian's body was not in good condition. It was caused by being bullied, but the impulsive woman who was once seemed to be forgiving now.
"Too..." The two of them were about to speak out but were stopped by Huan Moche. After all, if they were to let others know that their identities were not just a matter of safety, but also that they would not be able to live in peace, Shang Wuxin just glanced at the two of them and made peace with them. Huan Moche followed the shopkeeper to the best box.
When Leng Zi looked at the prince who had not seen him for a long time, he realized how much he missed him. Although he was a man, he just fell in love with a man, but it was this young man who ruined all his love and never had the chance to touch the prince. Leng Zishi didn't know whether to hate or blame himself.
Leng Tiantian looked at Huan Moche's back for a while with fascination, but when he looked at the prince's back, he revealed vicious jealousy. What did she do wrong, why did the prince destroy himself? The prince must be jealous of himself, jealous that he is a woman, and even if the prince has the right, it is impossible for the prince to get Huan Moche! Thinking that she is now a concubine in Lengfu, Lengzi didn't take herself as a person at all, she changed from a lady in the boudoir to a concubine that everyone can bully, these are all given by the prince, she One day, the prince must pay the price!
When Leng Zi looked at him, he followed, and when Leng Tiantian looked at Leng Zi, he looked down with contempt. These men are really cheap, and a woman who is so cute doesn't like it and even likes the disgusting prince, but it doesn't matter, Master Huan It must be its own.
Of course Shang Wuxin and Huan Moche found the two people behind them, but Shang Wuxin felt very hungry and didn't care about it, so he started eating after serving the food, while Huan Moche was serving Shang Wuxin from time to time, then Looking at the gentle appearance, Leng Tiantian's cheeks twisted.
"I'm sorry!" Leng Zishi said aloud after watching the two of them finish their meal.
When Huan Moche glanced at Leng Zi, who was obviously much more mature, the former Leng Zishi was too naive, and the innocence made people feel disgusted, but Huan Moche never thought that Leng Zishi would dare to poison the prince, if it weren't for the prince not having it He had already solved Leng Zi's killing intent.
"What are you sorry about this palace?" Shang Wuxin asked back, if the average person is sorry for himself, then he will definitely be sorry for him.
Leng Zishi was speechless, seeing that the prince left the restaurant without any pain to him, even Leng Tiantian, who had followed him, forgot to take it back.
"Prince! Young Master Huan!" When Leng Tiantian looked at Leng Zi, he was excited for a while as he left. He salutes Huan Moche softly and weakly, and occasionally looks at Huan Moche with eyes like a little white rabbit.
Neither of them paid any attention to them. In Shang Wuxin's eyes, Leng Tiantian's methods simply didn't look good to her, and it was the most painful thing for such a woman to let her live in a humble way.
Looking at the two of them, ignoring Leng Tiantian's smile remained unchanged, and his face was also worried, "Master Huan, how is my cousin now in the frontier? I haven't seen my cousin for many days, so I don't know how my cousin is!" Leng Tiantian Knowing the relationship between Leng Yufeng and Huan Moche, it's fine if you ignore him and find another topic.
"Wuxin, are you going back to the mansion now?" Huan Moche asked Leng Tiantian to Shang Wuxin without even looking at him. He could see that the prince was a little tired today. Although he really wanted to walk with the prince in the dark, it was nothing compared to it. The prince's body is important.
Shang Wuxin nodded, and the two walked past Leng Tiantian and walked out of the restaurant.
"Does this Leng Tiantian need to be dealt with?" Huan Moche asked, feeling the gloomy gaze behind him.
Shang Wuxin shook his head, "I like to kill some people directly, and I still like to slowly torture some people!"
Huan Moche laughed when he saw such a real prince, he seemed to be getting closer and closer to the prince.
