I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 694

At night, in an ordinary house in the north of the capital, it was time for dinner, and with the New Year's Eve, the alley was extremely lively. Every house was brightly lit, and laughter and punching sounds could be heard from time to time.

The young man in an ordinary blue jacket knelt down on one knee to salute with a respectful attitude, "Meet Your Highness."

"You don't need to be too polite." The middle-aged man in Washington who sat in the main seat spoke warmly. Although there was nobility in his brows, he didn't look arrogant. He said with a clear and pleasant voice: "Aunt Zhaoyue is the emperor's mother." Cousin, speaking of it, His Highness is also your uncle."

"Yunting dare not." Zhang Yunting got up, but he didn't dare to really call the second prince uncle.

After all, no one in the Great Yin royal family knew that the Holy Majesty didn't want to see Grandma, it was also because Grandma was old and the Zhang Mansion had already declined, so the Holy Majesty didn't bother to care about it.

There was no need for the second prince to order, the young woman standing at the side had already brought tea, and then quietly retreated behind the second prince. From this etiquette, it could be seen that this must have come from the palace.

"I heard that you only love Dahongpao. Try this tea to see how it tastes." The second prince picked up the teacup, but he didn't seem to like the rich aroma, so he took a sip before putting down the teacup.

Zhang Yunting's expression was more enjoyable, and there was nothing left in Zhang's mansion, but Princess Zhaoyue was unwilling to lose her princess's airs and majesty. From clothes to jewelry to food, everything was exquisite and luxurious, so Zhang Yunting The mansion has long been unable to make ends meet, Zhang Yunting indeed rarely has the opportunity to drink the tribute Dahongpao.

Satisfied with Zhang Yunting's neither humble nor overbearing attitude, the second prince said: "Seventh sister was spoiled by her father and mother concubine, yesterday she broke the rules in Zhang's mansion and swept away Aunt Zhaoyue's elegance."

"Zhan Feiyu is rebellious, Gu Xueshi once mentioned to the emperor that she may not get married in this life." It's not that the second prince has never had Zhan Feiyu's idea.

The second prince smiled and waved his hand at Zhang Yunting, who made amends, and motioned him to sit down and talk, "It's a good idea that you want to marry Zhan Feiyu, but it's a pity that you don't know her. This prince once heard that Eunuch Liu said that even if Zhan Feiyu While studying abroad, the homework assigned by Gu Xueshi is also sent over every two days, and she came to Beijing this time to participate in this spring."

If it wasn't for Zhan Feiyu's enmity with Zhe Jing as soon as he arrived in the capital, and then causing the capital to stir up trouble, the second prince would have almost forgotten about this person. After all, what a little girl, even if she is Gu Xueshi's disciple ?If you can't be an official in the court, your only value may be to marry a powerful husband.

But now Zhan Feiyu didn't live in the scholar's mansion, but took advantage of the trend to live in Huaishu Lane, which made the second prince have to pay attention to it. The father is more and more suspicious now, but he still trusts Yin Wuyan, even never Doubt too much.

Zhang Yunting hurriedly put down the cup and got up to make amends, "Your Highness, the seventh princess is naive and romantic. It was Zhang's poor reception that wronged the princess. Grandmother plans to visit the seventh princess in the palace on the fifteenth day."

In the end, it was just that the Seventh Princess came prepared and wanted to capture Zhan Feiyu alive at the banquet in the Zhang Mansion and send it to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion. Whoever wanted to bring the palace guards did not dare to do it because of Zhan Feiyu's jade pendant? , Humiliated in front of a group of noble ladies, the Seventh Princess didn't dare to take Zhan Feiyu, so this anger naturally spread to all the noble ladies who attended the banquet that day.

Sometimes the second prince couldn't help being jealous, he knew that Yin Wuyan could not be established as the crown prince, but the trust of the Holy Majesty was enough to make him worry about it.

"You made His Highness laugh." Zhang Yunting's handsome face was momentarily embarrassed. After all, he was rejected for proposing a marriage. Fortunately, except for Zhan Feiyu, only the second prince knows about it, and it will not affect his future marriage. .

People like Wen Ruyi and Ms. Chen come from prominent families, no matter how domineering the Seventh Princess is, she will not take them out on fire. I just feel sorry for those ordinary officials and nieces. They wanted to come to Zhang Mansion to climb up with Seventh Princess, but they became Seventh Princess' punching bag. The young ladies who were punished to kneel in the yard were carried back to the manor by servants in a carriage.

It's a pity that Zhan Feiyu was only seven or eight years old when Gu Xueshi accepted her as his disciple. He was too young. No matter how beastly the second prince was, he couldn't let a yellow-haired girl marry him. Engagement, even if you give up the position of wife, it is definitely worth it to have a relationship with Gu Xueshi.

It's a pity that Zhan Feiyu took the imperial examination all the way, studying hard like a scholar in the Daqing Dynasty, and this persistence lasted for seven or eight years. It's a pity that this little girl is as slippery as her teacher, and it is impossible to be used at all.

Tapping the table with one hand, the second prince changed the subject, "You don't have to think about Zhan Feiyu here. Earlier, Shu Zhaoyi tried to test the father and wanted to order Zhan Feiyu to the eleventh brother, but the father rejected it."

Although Shu Zhaoyi's mother's family is not obvious and is only a fourth-rank official, the eleventh prince is the son of the Holy Majesty after all, and because he is almost 20 years younger than the second prince and the others, he has been favored in recent years, but even so, the Majesty He didn't agree either. In contrast, it was even more impossible for Zhang Yunting to marry Zhan Feiyu.

"Zhe Jing has a bad temper, but the Zhe family is the most protective. If you marry her, you will have more support from the Yue family in the future." The second prince revealed the real intention of meeting Zhang Yunting in private.
