Drunk House Chapter 142

Chapter 142 Scientific Examination (Second Update)

Su Rong stayed in the prince's study for a long time, and when he returned to Yuzhen Pavilion, he saw Feng Ling's face was sad.

All kinds of pastries brought back from Chengjizhai were placed on the table, neatly, one piece remained intact.

Su Rong was very satisfied, "It's not bad, I didn't steal it."

Seeing her coming back, Feng Ling immediately picked up a piece of pastry and ate it, "Am I that kind of person?"

Su Rong also started to eat, "Well, you are not, you have passed my test of your character."

Feng Ling: "..."

His character is up to now, does it still need to be tested?

Su Rong didn't wait for him to ask, and explained to him, "I discussed with His Royal Highness the prince who met Lu Fengyan today, and it took a while. I think Lu Fengyan is quite interesting, don't you think?"

Feng Ling nodded, "Well, it's not easy."

Su Rongxiao, "You also think he is not simple, that's right. In this way, from tomorrow onwards, you will sneak by his side and observe him secretly for a few days. After the scientific examination, I will see how to win him over depending on the situation."

Feng Ling readily agreed, "Success."

Anyway, he has nothing to do recently, he just drinks tea and reads picture books, and he is bored. After all, the master stays in the East Palace, so he feels quite safe, and he doesn't need daily personal protection. And Yun An was said to have been sent out on a mission by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the place he went was far away, and it took him a long time to come back, so he couldn't compete with him.

The two worked together to finish a few pastries, and accidentally got stuffed.

Su Rong commented, "As expected of a century-old shop, every pastry is delicious."

Feng Ling nodded in agreement, "I'll go buy it tomorrow."

"You go to the queue earlier, and you are not allowed to spend money to buy a seat." It is not easy to make money, why does he spend money so lavishly, ten taels of silver, her monthly bill is only two taels of silver, this prodigal thing.

"Okay!" Feng Ling also felt that one experience is enough, money is a good thing, he should learn to save money.

After the two reached a consensus, they ate a few more slices of hawthorn, went to the courtyard to eat for a while, and then went back to sleep.

Xiao Quanzi found out in the past few days that His Royal Highness didn't need him to remind him to go to bed, so he came out of the study an hour earlier every day, so worry-free, he felt that his greatest role over the years was useless.

Yan Huisheng walked out of the study, carrying a bag of food in his hand, Xiao Quanzi stepped forward to reach out to take it, but he dodged, "I take it by myself."

Xiao Quanzi thought to himself, isn't it the Wuren Flower Cake from Chengjizhai? Not unusual. His Highness didn't even let him hold it.

He followed Yan Huisheng half a step behind, walked for a while, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, if you like five-nut flower cakes, I will arrange for someone to buy them at Chengjizhai tomorrow."

"No need." Yan echoed shaking his head.

Xiao Quanzi understands, His Highness the Crown Prince has never had anything he particularly likes to eat. In the past, he didn't pay much attention to the cakes of Chengjizhai, but now he can see them, probably because of special people who buy them.

On the second day, early in the morning, when Feng Ling was about to go out, Su Rong handed him a letter, "Find a way to send this letter to Zhou Gu in the form of a letter from Jiangzhou."

"This is simple!" Feng Ling took the letter, weighed it, and asked: "Master, is it only for the young master Zhou? Where is the eldest son? You didn't write a letter to him?"

"My elder brother doesn't need it." Su Rong waved his hand.

Feng Ling said "Okay!", took the letter and left.

Zhou Gu sent people to Jiangzhou after returning from the East Palace yesterday. After sending them away, although he was still upset, he was much better.

On this day, he had had breakfast and was studying his books when Ziye came in with a letter, "My lord, the letter from Jiangzhou, please take a quick look, is it a letter from Miss Su Qi?"

Zhou Gu raised his eyes and took the letter. On the envelope was written Zhou Gu's personal letter, which was written by Su Rong. He nodded reservedly, "Well, it's hers."

He took the letter slowly, and slowly opened it. It was still a thin piece of paper. Su Rong said that she had already planned to leave. After the scientific examination, she planned to leave for the capital to let him take the exam well. She hoped that she would come to personally congratulate him on his high school.

And said, her elder brother is very powerful, let him work hard, if he accidentally overwhelms his elder brother, she will find a restaurant in the capital to book a table for him to congratulate him.

Also, I heard that this year's students from all over the world are very good, so let him not take it lightly, his opponent is not only her elder brother, but he will always get the top three.

Just such a short sentence, Zhou Gu looked at it several times, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his smile spread. After a while, he mumbled softly, "It's as if she has a conscience to miss me."

Zi Ye was also very happy, and hurriedly urged Zhou Gu, "My lord, since this is the case, why don't you hurry up and study your book? Miss Seven has high hopes for you, and it says that you will even overwhelm Mr. Su."

Zhou Gu didn't feel the pressure, but was full of motivation. He put away the letter and started to review it, with high morale, "Well, I will try my best."

The emperor was very satisfied with Yan Huisheng's inaction in recent days, and his dissatisfaction with Jiang Sheng's matter dissipated a little. He felt that Yan Huisheng still knew how to measure. He had him as a gentleman in his eyes, and he didn't go out to win over the students who came to Beijing for the exam, and he didn't let any student step into the East Palace.

As for the fact that the East Palace had a distinguished guest, the emperor didn't know about it. Yan Huisheng managed the East Palace strictly. The spies had been removed in a grand manner a few years ago because the crown prince had been assassinated many times, so that the emperor couldn't put his hand into the East Palace anymore.

Even so, it is impossible for Yan Huisheng to place spies in his East Palace, the place where he sleeps, even if the emperor fears him.

So, Su Rong lived in the East Palace, only the people in the East Palace knew about it, and the only person who really knew Su Rong's identity was the housekeeper and at most a little Quanzi who served Yan Huisheng.

On this day, the emperor called Yan Huisheng into the imperial study after the morning court, and said to him: "You are the prince, and you will come forward to preside over the imperial examination tomorrow."

Yan Echo bowed his head and said yes.

The emperor looked at him, "It was supposed to be in the spring this year, but it was moved to the autumn in the golden autumn. I don't want something to happen to the autumn chamber this time. You should pay more attention to it."

Yan echoed and nodded, "Father, don't worry."

The emperor waved his hand and said no more.

Yan echoed out of the Imperial Study Room, thinking blankly, the exam will start tomorrow, and he was only allowed to preside over it today. He kept a low profile, kept a low profile and didn't win over students from all over the place, which was obviously the most reassuring thing for him, but now he didn't care about it, and told him to pay more attention to it.

His good father, doesn't he feel conflicted at all?

Maybe he thinks so, but he can't control his increasingly suspicious temper.

Because of the emperor's sudden decree, Yan echoed the order, and got busy all of a sudden. The staff of the East Palace came in and out, and it was not convenient for Su Rong to stay in the prince's study. She simply read the dossiers in the dark grid these days, and she also planned to take the opportunity to rest for a few days.

So, she hid in Yuzhen Pavilion, imitating Feng Ling's appearance earlier, drinking tea while reading a picture book. Even when she was too lazy to read the picture book, she called Xiao Chengzi to her and asked him to take her for a stroll in the Eastern Palace. When she was tired, she found a place to listen to Xiao Chengzi tell her the latest gossip from the various mansions in the capital.

Feng Ling secretly observed Lu Fengyan for several days. He didn't return to the East Palace until he entered the examination room. Seeing that Su Rong was so leisurely, he was very jealous, "Master, you are too leisurely!"

Su Rong rubbed his nose, and pushed the grapes sent by the butler to him, "Look at these grapes, one by one, they are big and purple, so attractive. It is said that they were brought here as a tribute from the feudal domain. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent them all over, but I didn't keep them myself. I kept them specially for you."

Feng Ling reached out and pinched a grape and threw it into his mouth, "Mmm", "Master is the best."

He said to Su Rong: "Today, many wives and ladies of high-ranking mansions in Beijing have gone to the Great Buddha Temple outside Beijing to pray for gods and worship Buddha. Would you like to go to the Great Buddha Temple to ask for a gold list for the eldest son and young master Zhou?"

Su Rong refused, "No, I believe they can pass the exam without praying to God or Buddha."

Feng Ling nodded, "Would you like to go to the street to play while Young Master Zhou and Young Lord Xie have both entered the examination room? Anyway, no one knows you anymore, and you won't meet familiar people."

Su Rong was a little moved, "The students are all striving for fame in the examination room and working hard for the exam. We just want to have fun, is it appropriate?"

"It's suitable!" Feng Ling had no burden, "Don't you believe in the abilities of the eldest son and the younger master Zhou? Whether we play or not, they can pass the exam, right?"

"That's right." Su Rong felt relieved, "Then let's go?"

Feng Ling hugged the plate tightly, "I'll eat another bunch of grapes later."

Su Rong had no objection, went into the room and changed her clothes, and put on the curtain again. After coming out, Feng Ling also ate up the whole plate of grapes, then stood up contentedly, and accompanied Su Rong out of the East Palace again.

Monthly ticket～see you tomorrow～
