I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 710 Meeting
In the dark night, only the lanterns hanging under the corridor exuded a dim light in the palace at midnight. Except for the patrolling royal guards, the huge palace was silent at this time.

"This is the silver for you. Keep it, and you will benefit from it in the future." The deliberately low voice was still piercing, and the old man in eunuch uniform twisted his body and threw the silver ingot in front of him, nodding and bowing. A greedy little eunuch.

"I know." The little eunuch couldn't wait to stuff the silver into his chest, and glanced uneasily at the dark surroundings.

"Okay, hurry up, there is not even a ghost in this ruined palace!" The old eunuch urged impatiently, if it wasn't for the news from Xiao Dezi, who would want to blow the cold wind here in the freezing cold.

The little eunuch no longer hesitated and said in a low voice: "At noon yesterday, when the servant was adding charcoal to the charcoal basin, I glanced at it. There was indeed a box on the dragon case. Later, Imperial Physician Zhang rushed to the imperial study."

The old eunuch didn't want to suffer from the cold after receiving accurate information, so he turned around and left in a hurry, completely unaware that a figure came out of the palace that had been abandoned for many years after he left.

Xiao Dezi, who was still humble just now, has changed his expression at this time. Although he still looks flattering, he does not show any humbleness or fear. Instead, he shows respect and affection for the elders, "Old man, I just now Did you do well?"

"Hmph, you're just going to lie to that old ghost, but everyone who lights a candle here has to show his face." Eunuch Liu snorted arrogantly, but let Xiao Dezi help him to go outside, "Run away tomorrow!" Let me tell Old Lu that every day he hides in bed, he should come out to exercise his muscles, and if he dares to inquire about the news from the front hall, he will chop off all his hands that should be chopped off."

Xiao Dezi nodded in response, and then laughed obscenely, "Uncle, Mr. Ning is not the number one scholar and has caused so many troubles. If this is the title of the gold list, it will be even more unsafe."

Eunuch Liu thought of the Seventh Princess' scheming over the past few days, and sneered coldly with the corners of his mouth curled up, "It's nothing more than scheming Miss Zhejia, and nothing major happened to the left and right. If you dare to schem Ms. Zhan, I won't." Look who's standing behind her."

……

With the arrival of February, it is only a few days away from Chunwei, and the inns in the capital, large and small, have long been filled with scholars rushing to take the exam, and some people with ample homes have squeezed out a room or two for the younger generation. Rent out the house and earn some money to supplement the family.

Zhan Feiyu has always been very quiet, because she lives in Huaishu Lane, and no one dares to disturb her, and besides, the large and small cultural feasts and poetry clubs that are different from men and women will not send posts to her.

"Miss, we're here." He Sheng stopped the carriage, took another look at the bustling street, and got out of the carriage first after making sure that there was no danger.

Zhan Feiyu didn't want to go to the appointment at first, but Ning Chen'an's letter was written with sincerity, and for the filial piety of Mrs. Ning's body, Zhan Feiyu had no choice but to make it clear in person and come out to breathe.

In the private room on the second floor, Ning Chenan walked back and forth anxiously. If it wasn't for the private room not having a window facing the street so he couldn't see downstairs, he would probably just be lying on the window and looking down in disregard of his gentlemanly demeanor.

Fu Ruilang raised his teacup to Bai Zhaohui, and they both laughed silently as they watched Ning Chenan pacing back and forth. It was not easy to see Mr. Ning's restless look.

"Young Master, Miss Zhan is here." The boy guarding the stairs turned his head and shouted, although he didn't understand why his son was so eager to meet Miss Zhan, especially at this time of the coming spring, even though What kind of love between children should wait after the imperial examination.

But when he thought of Fu Ruilang and Bai Zhaohui still in the private room, the boy suddenly felt that he was thinking too much.

In the private room, as soon as Zhan Feiyu sat down, Ning Chenan didn't bother to greet her, and stood up and saluted her solemnly, with words that were never sincere before, "No matter what conditions the girl has, just ask, I implore the girl Give me Snow Lotus."

Ning Chenan also knew from Zhejing that the Seven-color Snow Lotus was with Zhan Feiyu, and immediately sent a letter to Huaishu Lane.

If the seven-color snow lotus was in Zhejing's hands, Ning Chen'an and Mrs. Ning might have hesitated, but the thing was in Zhan Feiyu's hands, and both mother and son were relieved, at least Zhan Feiyu would not use marriage as a bargaining chip.

Fu Ruilang and Bai Zhaohui, as accompanying persons, did not speak at this time. They all knew Ning Chenan's filial piety. The mother and son had lived together for many years. Now that Chen'an has neither married nor established a career, the old lady must want to see his children and grandchildren. .

"Mr. Ning, Xuelian was sent to the palace by the Forbidden Dragon Guard that day." Zhan Feiyu told the truth, seeing Ning Chenan's disappointed expression, he explained, "Before Zhejing stopped Princess Siya's convoy. , this matter is making a lot of noise, so the Holy Majesty will not let Xuelian appear in a short time."

Zhe Jing is shameless, but the Holy One wants face, and Daqing Dynasty also wants face. The national treasure seven-color snow lotus lost in Uszang was found in the palace. When the news spread, outsiders would only think that it was the Holy Spirit who sent someone from Princess Siya. snatched.
