Chapter 21
Xiaoxue fell for several days and naturally there was a lot of snow. Shen Jingyuan grabbed a ball and started to play snowballs. Li Shang followed behind to help her, and Hongye Luluo also helped her.

The land is white, and the snow is like soft reeds floating all over the sky. They pass over the pavilions and courtyards, covering everything. The flowers hanging in the corridor are still blooming, which is particularly bright and unique in a snow scene painting. s color.

"Crack——" Stepping on the snow, Shen Jingyuan had already piled up the little snowman's body.

He raised his hand and stuffed the green fruit from the green radish on the snowman's face as eyes, and inserted the radish in the center as a nose. At that time, a cute and dull snowman jumped into everyone's eyes.

Shen Jingyuan nodded to admire her masterpiece, then turned her head and asked, "How is it?"

Li Shang looked at the snowman's eyes and smiled, "How could its eyes be blue? Isn't there black fruit on the table?"

Shen Jingyuan bent down and picked up a handful of snow and squeezed it into a ball: "How bad is cyan? What's so good about black? The snowman I made is naturally different, hey! Take a ball from me!"

The snowball hit the black robe and splashed everywhere. Li Shang lowered his head and pursed his lips with a smile, and patted the broken snow on his chest helplessly.

Shen Jingyuan threw two snowballs on Hongye Luluo while others were not paying attention. Luluo has a lively temperament, so she quickly fought with Shen Jingyuan, and when you come and go, she lifts her skirt and puts it in the snow Chase up.

The girl's bell-like laughter resounded in the snow-white courtyard, and Li Shang stood aside and watched her laughing and playing with the maids quietly.

At this moment, for some reason, he actually had a feeling that the years have been peaceful, and even an unwarranted greed appeared in his heart, wanting to suspend this moment forever.

Li Shang looked at the slender figure in the distance, and felt that his uneasy and cautious heart floating in the air was falling, stabilizing, and beating at this moment, and he gained this moment of relaxation and respite.

Shen Jingyuan was tired of bending over to pick up snowballs. Her pampered body was naturally not as strong as Lu Luo, who was able to work. After a while, she hurriedly called a truce.

She walked towards Li Shang out of breath, and seeing his calm demeanor, she suddenly recalled how she looked when she first met him.

Unexpectedly, in just a few months from autumn to winter, a person will change so much.

It will be the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, and Li Shang will also be sixteen.

Shen Jingyuan looked up at the boy who was getting taller and taller: "I heard that you won the leader in the academy examination? Now you are so good at studying?"

Li Shang bent his eyes: "What? In your eyes, am I a very stupid person?"

They walked back to the kiosk side by side, Shen Jingyuan shook his head: "How dare you underestimate you, after all, you, a cunning profiteer, said the sale of a piece of cake for one tael of gold and a bed of hemp quilt for a hundred taels of gold~"

Li Shang raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "That's right, you haven't returned my silver taels yet."

Shen Jingyuan tilted her head: "Didn't my father ask Steward Zhao to give you a daughter?"

"I can confiscate it."

"Why not accept it?"

"It's not yours, why should I accept it?"

Shen Jingyuan was taken aback, and smiled angrily: "Okay, do you have to ask me to give you what you said?"

Li Shang stepped on the snow-covered stone steps: "I am naturally a gentleman who loves money, and I get it in a proper way."

Shen Jingyuan laughed loudly: "What a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way, okay, I will pay you back the money I owe you with my own hands!"

After the joke, Li Shang sat in front of the steaming iron pot and looked at the girl opposite him and said, "I'm going to end next year."

"So fast? How about a few more years of precipitation?" Shen Jingyuan was surprised.

It is still too young to take the imperial examination at the age of 16.

"I have been squatting outside a private school to attend lectures since I was seven years old. My master taught me books and political theory for eight years, and I was tested every month on the imperial examination questions over the years. Could it be that I was penniless and my temperament had not yet settled down, so I might pass the exam now."

"No wonder you said that you wanted to be an official." Shen Jingyuan tilted her head and smiled: "So you have such a good talent for reading? You are the leader."

Li Shang blushed when he was teased: "Master Prime Minister is very kind to me. I can now look like this thanks to your support. I can not only read the books in your Zhao family's private collection, but also copy them. The kindness is very deep." , from now on... I will definitely repay you."

Time doesn't pass quickly, but people can change overnight. Shen Jingyuan looked at Li Shang, and suddenly found that his complexion is fairer and his face is more handsome. The laziness and calmness between the eyebrows and eyes, shed the previous impetuousness and a bit of hostility and philistinism.

"Li Shang, you have become more beautiful." Shen Jingyuan laughed suddenly: "I think your life will be smooth and bright in the future, and you will marry a good wife."

Li Shang suddenly smiled, this smile was like the brightest star in the night sky, eye-catching and eye-catching: "I would like to borrow your good words, Jinjin."

"The future of the title on the gold list is bright! Drink!" Shen Jingyuan nodded, raised her jug ​​and drank green plum wine with her head up. Her soft voice revealed a bit of freedom that boudoir women did not have. They secretly looked up enviously.

-

The imperial palace, at the midnight of the snowy night.

After the guards informed, the messenger guards disarmed their weapons and walked steadily into the hall. The young emperor in the hall was sitting on a high seat and was reviewing the memorial. brighter.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, why don't you take a break?"

Yun Min paused, looked up and found that it had been night for a long time.

At this time, the eunuch in the respect room who was kneeling below immediately held the green head card, raised his numb legs and crawled forward two steps: "Your Majesty, you have not entered the harem for three months, and the ladies are looking forward to the rain for a long time. It’s already hopeless, Your Majesty, please be kind and turn the sign back today.”

Impatientness flashed across Yun Min's eyes, and he pinched his eyebrows: "Get down!"

"This!" The eunuch in the respect room looked at it in embarrassment, holding the plate with the green card, not knowing what to do.

Yun Min raised his eyes: "Don't you want me to say it a second time?"

Liu Zhong, who is the chief executive, immediately winked: "Aren't you stepping back?"

The eunuch in the respect room who hadn't completed the task could only leave in a hurry holding the signs that were almost gathering dust.

Seeing that people were finally not bothering him in front of him, Yunmin relaxed a bit. He leaned slightly on the dragon chair, looked at the messenger guard waiting behind him, and cast a glance at Liu Zhong beside him, and the whole hall was closed immediately. All the doors and windows were blocked, and the hidden guards in the dark also guarded everything that could be eavesdropped.

"Say."

Chuanxin Wei stepped forward to salute and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the small movements over there have indeed decreased a lot in the past few days. I think it is because they are afraid that the movement will disturb you too much, but even so, Tang Juhai secretly received many people who came to Beijing to take the exam. I heard that I have promised a high school position in private, and now the top three are all selected."

"Heh." Yun Min's gentle face turned cold at this moment: "Our First Grade Grand Scholar's arms are really long."

"There are candidates for the positions of the top three. It seems that the bedbugs in the court have not been cleaned up in the past three years?"
