Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 66

"Don't dare," Qin Changge silently took half a step back, and bowed politely, "Cao Min Wen Zhengting, a native of Longdong."

"Wen Zhengting?" Xiao Jue murmured, "I seem to have heard of this name... Since you are so talented, why should you not take the scientific examination, so that you can gain fame, be well-dressed, and rise to the top?"

"Grass people have no blessings," Qin Changge said solemnly: "I applied for the exam three times and failed three times. I know that I have no destiny for the court, so I will stop asking for it."

"I remembered, you are a famous scholar in Longdong, the one who is said to be able to write at the age of three," Xiao Jue said suddenly, "How did you fail?"

"It's just that there is no luck in life," Qin Changge said regretfully, "In fact, such a thing is not an example of grassroots. Lan Zong, a famous scholar in Qizhou, is also rare in talent and fame. He is famous all over the world, but he has tried repeatedly."

"It's the responsibility of the ministers that such talents are not used by me," Xiao Jue frowned, "If you go to Yingchunwei next spring, I will directly name you."

"No," Qin Changge smiled, "The imperial examination is a heavy code for the country's talents. It should be the public of the world, and it should not be selfish because of one person. Today, by chance, it is a blessing for the grassroots to get the beauty of the sky. When it comes to the imperial examination, Your Majesty also intends not to be promoted again, so the grass-roots people should avoid it, and Chun Wei should not respond to it anyway, otherwise the grass-roots people will feel uneasy, this is a little pedantry of the grass-people, and I hope your majesty will forgive me."

The face is serious, but the heart is laughing secretly, Wen Zhengting, Wen Zhengting, today I can play you a celebrity demeanor who is talented, virtuous, dignified and selfless, how can you thank me?
Sure enough, Xiao Jue's eyes brightened, his handsome face overflowed with rare joy, and he said: "Mr.

"Your Majesty," Qin Changge smiled, "the stereotyped essays in the imperial examinations, with their head tied and their tails tied, and limited ingenuity. Those who are truly relaxed and relaxed in the mountains, and those who are proud of the haze, may not be good at this. "Learned Hongzhike", officials from all over the country recommend local famous scholars who do not like to take the imperial examination to take the examination. I don’t want to be promoted because I want to save face, but I am afraid that I will lose my reputation if I fail the ranking. Now that the court loves me so much, I would probably be happy to accept the call, and Your Majesty, you will be spared the regret of leaving the pearl behind, how good is that?”

"Scholarly and knowledgeable..." Xiao Jue's eyes became more and more joyful, staring at this seemingly unattractive scholar, who was so radiant and eye-catching when discussing politics and essays, thought carefully, nodded and said: "This After careful consideration, I will discuss with the ministers at the court meeting."

Looking at the sky, he stood up, patted Qin Changge's shoulder naturally, and said, "It's time for the drum, and I'm going back to the palace to go to court. You can enter the palace with me. After I go down to court, I will go back to the palace." There are still some things that I want to talk to you—don’t refuse, you want to be strong, and I want to save face.”

Looking sideways at his shoulder, the last sentence made Qin Changge smile, pretending to be reluctant to speak, and followed the emperor out.

When passing by the window, Xiao Jue glanced at the dead mouse, frowned and said with a smile: "You were forced out by this thing? Why are you afraid of mice like...women?"

There was a pause in his voice, and there was a slight bleakness when he started again, but he immediately changed the subject, "By the way, why are you behind the curtain?"

Qin Changge smiled embarrassingly, and Qin Changge had been prepared for a long time, "I heard that there are three volumes of out-of-print "Ancient Words" written by Dan Xiazi in the Xianshao period in the prince's study. It's been a long time, I managed to ask the boy who cleaned the study room, slipped in and wanted to take a look, even a little bit of the ancient sage's air of tranquility would be good, who knows I can't find it everywhere, and I saw that the prince has a lot of books here, I don't know Jue grabbed a copy and read it. When the prince and His Majesty came in, the grass people were startled and couldn't dodge in time, so they had to hide under the curtain. Please forgive me for the crime of collision."

""Ancient Words" is Chen's treasure, how can it be placed in a conspicuous place in the study?" Xiao Jue smiled, "Stealing books is not stealing, and I know something about the problems of you literati, neither are you deliberately spying, That's all."

After he finished speaking, he didn't ask any more questions, and went first, his slender back was clearly outlined in the hazy sky, Qin Changge sighed slightly, no matter how Xiao Jue has changed in recent years, maybe his temperament is moody, maybe he has weirdness from time to time Perhaps because of his status as high as Jiuzhong, he had to seek a plot for selfishness, but in essence, he still seems to have retained a bit of the shadow of the bright and open boy who never intruded on others. You know, if it were someone else The emperor, hiding behind the curtain, eavesdropped on the secret conversations of the emperor and prince, and the content involved important political affairs, so he had to lose his head.

At this time, the guards had already prepared their cars and waited, and there was a middle-aged man waiting in front of them. He looked like he was the commander of the imperial guards. Seeing that Xiao Jue had brought a stranger out, they all knelt down and saluted, and then looked up at Qin Qin. Chang Ge was slightly on guard, but Xiao Jue ignored it, stepped on the imperial chariot with jade bridle and golden pole, and said, "Go back to the palace."

At this time Xiao Chen also rushed over, he looked tired, dressed in a white fur coat and approached with a hand stove in his arms, Xiao Jue didn't wait for him to approach, he lifted the curtain and waved his hand, saying: "You are still sick, carefully exposed to the wind, Go back, go back," pointing to Qin Changge who was about to speak, Qin Changge had already stepped forward and said: "It's late, your majesty, please get on the chariot first, let the grass people say goodbye to the prince, and thank the prince for his care. "

Xiao Jue nodded, and got into the car. Qin Changge went up to salute her. Xiao Chen stared at her unblinkingly, and said softly for a long while, "Sir, it can be said that your wish has been fulfilled? How about the view under the bed?"

Smiling slightly, Qin Changge talked about him from left to right, "Prince Zhao's mansion is beautiful, with an open layout, dense roads, and hidden caves. Wuxin has been here for more than ten days, and it is already an eye-opener. This is all thanks to the prince."

"It's easy to say," Xiao Chen smiled, "It's not true that Mr. Ganqing came to the mansion to be a diner, but it's true that he wanted to see the ugly scene of our mansion---do you like it?"

"Wang's mansion and noble mansion, is it that Wuxin's status can be commented on at will?" Qin Changge smiled wanly, and did not accept the move, "You are serious."

"Whether it is important or not, we know each other," Xiao Chen coughed slightly, "My shoals and small ponds cannot tolerate the appearance of a dragon and a flying phoenix. You are a great talent. Now that you have achieved the beauty of the sky, you will be able to achieve prosperity in the future. Don't forget to come back and see Xiao Wang."

Responding with a smile, Qin Changge said: "Don't dare, the grace of the prince to support and help each other is unforgettable."

"You are in my mansion, but I have never taken care of you, but in the future, there will always be a chance to meet in the court, and then we will have our own division." Xiao Chen tilted his head slightly, smiled lightly, his face under the moonlight was elegant and graceful, his eyebrows Wonderful.

Smiling and saluting, she turned and walked towards another car prepared by the guards. Qin Changge was too lazy to fight back and forth with Xiao Chen. She really suspected that Xiao Chen did the mouse. hands and feet.

With Xiao Chen's intelligence, he may not believe her plan, if there is no one under the bed, he pretends to go out, and he will definitely think about turning back to block him on the way - when she and Xiao Jue were answering, they kept their ears pricked up. Listen, due to her recent practice, her hearing has been quite sensitive. Xiao Chen, who doesn't know martial arts, approached, and she would not be unaware. That's why she dared to tell Xiao Jue that she was Wen Zheng after confirming that Xiao Chen hadn't come back. Ting.

But where did that monster come from?So coincidence?
At this time, a large number of guards had already escorted Xiao Jue to go to court, leaving only four ordinary guards to escort her into the palace. Qin Changge walked towards the car with a kick, and when he got under the car, he knelt down and pulled out his boots Yan, stood up, and said with a sneer: "Hey, the shoes I've worn for a long time are comfortable, but they're a little sagging..." The guards looked at her shabby clothes, nodded copingly, turned their faces away, and smiled at each other .

Clumsily climbed into the car, Qin Changge looked like a poor scholar who had never sat in a gorgeous carriage, kept looking at the carved windows, and then raised his head stupidly to touch the golden painted roof, " Such a beautiful carriage wow..."

The guards got impatient for a long time, they got on their horses, and smiled again, where did His Majesty find such a treasure, such a person, is also a "celebrity"?But after all, he didn't dare to say anything nonsense, and ordered the car to move forward, with guards around.

When passing through Xifu Street and a narrow alley with few people, for some reason, the car body suddenly tilted.

The eunuch acting as the coachman was shocked and hurriedly reined in the horse. Half of the car body had already tilted down and hit the wall with a clatter, causing the harness horse to slap its hooves and neigh.

The guards rushed forward and worked together to help the car. After a careful inspection, they found that the tenon of the rear wheel was loose. At first, it was fine, but the car soon came loose, and several spokes came loose. Body tipped over.

The guards helped the car up, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, the car fell over and hit the wall, why didn't that rotten man even cry out in surprise?
An impatient guard immediately reached out to lift the car curtain, looked at it, and exclaimed, "Where is the person? Why is he missing?"

The rest of the people hurriedly looked through the curtain he raised, and there was no one there.

The head guard among the four stomped his feet with a "Hey!" and said angrily, "Run away for this kid!" He said quickly, "You two, go ahead and report to the commander, you, and I will look around along the road. , even if this guy ran away just now, he couldn't go far!"

At that moment, the two groups of people split up, and the coachman and eunuch climbed out of the car suspiciously, looked at the wooden tenon, and said puzzledly: "Before I came out, I obviously checked it..."

He buried his head in checking the wheels, but he didn't see them. The roof of the car was lifted slowly, revealing a pair of eyes first, looking around for no one, and then a person came out gently, followed the wall against which the car was leaning, climbed up the wall of the narrow alley, Disappeared quickly in the hazy morning mist.

That person is Qin Changge.

She was still playing empty city tricks, she didn't leave just now, but huddled on the roof of the car.

It was fake when she squatted down to play with the boots, but it was real when she pried the tenons with a dagger to cover her body. The moment she squatted down, she had already seen that the floor of the car was a whole, and she could not escape from the bottom of the car, so she pretended to be a bumpkin. The car fumbled for a while, in fact, just to see if there was a way to escape from the roof. After touching it, she immediately found that the roof was movable and could be disassembled, so she kept tinkering with it just now.
