The first daughter is not bad, the prince does not love

Chapter 425 Don't Give Up Hope
Yan Shichu nodded and said, "Okay, I will apologize."

"It's not you, it's me..." Lin Siran cried with a sad face, "Brother, you are really making trouble for me, hey..."

"Ranran, I'm sorry, I lost my head for a while." Yan Shichu desperately apologized, "If I make such a thing happen again in the future, just leave me alone, okay?"

"How can I bear to ignore you? You are my brother!" Lin Siran said angrily, "So please don't let such a thing happen again, be honest and do your duty."

Seeing her angry look, Yan Shichu smiled again, and said, "Okay, I won't make trouble anymore."

"That's right. Although I didn't win the first prize, I was also awarded the Jinshi. It's already very good. At most, I have to survive a few years longer than others. I may not be able to stay in the capital. But to be a small official outside, as long as you have political achievements If you don’t, sooner or later you will come out, and you can really do something, gain experience, and you will be able to do great things in the future." Lin Siran persuaded.

Although this wish is beautiful, Lin Siran knows in his heart that the emperor promoted the imperial examinations during his reign, and the imperial examinations were held every three years. There were at least a few hundred Jinshi admitted, but almost none of them could really climb up from the bottom. .

Lin Xiaoqian is considered an exception among exceptions, and Lin Xiaoqian's starting point is really not something that others can have. Apart from the help of the Marquis of Huaiyin back then, it has nothing to do with his own good flattery.

But after so many years, there is no second Lin Xiaoqian.

Moreover, Lin Xiaoqian can't be strictly regarded as a poor family. After all, he became the son-in-law of the Marquis of Huaiyin, and later turned himself over again by relying on his in-law relationship with the Luo family.

In name, he is a noble son from a poor family, but in fact it is a kind of balance between the family and the emperor, and it can even be said to be a compromise and failure of the emperor.

Yan Shichu can't walk Lin Xiaoqian's path, and I'm afraid he doesn't want to walk this path. He will be released as a small official like everyone else, let alone three to five years, ten years or 20 years, I'm afraid he may not be able to walk to Lin Xiaoqian such a height.

He will continue to be suppressed and obstructed. Maybe he will be riddled with reality before turning over again. Will he continue to maintain his original intention in the future?
Yan Shichu smiled, let out a breath, and said, "I hope."

How helpless and sad is this smile?

Looking at it, Lin Siran felt as if his heart was overwhelmed, and said: "Brother, don't give up hope, and don't give up persistence. Even if it is a temporary setback, it is difficult to accept, but it will pass. You still have me, and you still have me." Yes...and His Royal Highness, doesn't he admire you very much?"

"I have broken my promise to Your Highness. If I failed to win the leader, how can I have the face to see Your Highness again?" Yan Shichu shook his head, expressing that he was not that thick-skinned.

"It's not your fault. Even the godmother said that you are indeed the number one scholar, but you just lacked a little chance. It's not your fault that His Majesty didn't choose you." Lin Siran tried her best to appease Yan Shichu.

"I know, but that's the truth. The result speaks for itself. My promise to His Highness is to show him the champion, so that he is qualified to talk about the future." Yan Shichu shook his head, "So... Your Highness, I'm afraid we can't see each other again .”

Lin Siran knew that Yan Shichu was a very proud person, and he definitely didn't want his dignity to be underestimated.

"Your Highness may not be such a superficial person." Lin Sizan said, "I really appreciate your talent, and knowing your original intention for writing that article, I will definitely understand you."

"I am afraid that what His Highness wants is not only someone with ambition and talent, but also someone who can prove that he has the ability to realize his ambitions and show off his talents. You know... Your Highness is not in a good situation." Yan Shichu said, "He needs someone who can help him now, and I'm afraid I won't have the ability for the time being."

Lin Siran sighed, knowing that Yan Shichu was right.

"Perhaps you can stay with His Highness and be someone who can advise him." Lin Sizan gave the last suggestion.

Yan Shichu smiled and asked: "You seem to have great confidence in His Highness the Crown Prince? Do you think he must be the Ming Lord?"

Lin Siran was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, I'm sure."

"Why? You know him well?" Yan Shichu asked in surprise, "You don't seem to have a very close relationship with him, do you?"

Of course, Lin Siran couldn't tell Yan Shichu that she knew that what Li Xingxu would do after he took power in the future proved that he was the Ming lord.

"Brother...you will understand in the future. I have confidence in him. Otherwise, I would not have spared no effort in helping the disaster relief. He is someone who really wants to do something good for the people. This , it is very precious." Lin Siran said.

Yan Shichu nodded, and said: "That's right, from the disaster relief in Jiangnan, he is indeed as you said, otherwise... the disaster victims in Jiangnan would have been even worse. Fortunately, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not someone else. .”

"Have you heard anything?" Lin Siran was a little surprised. She hadn't received any definite news about the situation in Jiangnan.

Yan Shichu shook his head, and said: "I'm guessing, after all, there seems to be fewer books coming from Jiangnan recently, no news may be good news."

Because bad news usually spreads faster under the operation of caring people.

But these people in the capital seem to be unwilling to publicize the achievements of the prince, but the good news is relatively closed.

"Brother, no matter what, I still hope that you can help His Royal Highness. It doesn't matter if you can't get ahead now. Sooner or later, you will have the opportunity to show your talents. Your Highness needs you, and you also need His Highness." Lin Siran Seriously.

Yan Shichu looked at Lin Siran, and finally asked: "What if His Highness doesn't need me?"

Lin Siran frowned: "Why does my brother think this way? I think that with my brother's talent, anyone who loves talent will definitely need it."

"But I have to prove first that I am indeed a talent!" Yan Shichu murmured, "Ranran... let's not talk about this, it will be your birthday soon, although you keep saying that you are 16 years old, but you have not It's your birthday, this year my brother will also accompany you."

Lin Siran smiled and said: "It's not a child anymore, it's all the same, it doesn't matter."

"That's not the way to say it. In my heart, my sister will always be my sister. Besides... I may not have the opportunity to celebrate your birthday in person in the future." Yan Shichu's eyes were slightly sad.

"Brother, why did you say such a thing? What do you mean you may not have a chance?" Lin Siran felt unlucky when he heard this.

Yan Shichu smiled and said, "You didn't say that, maybe it's going to be released, and I don't know where to put it. If it's too remote, we may not be able to see each other once in a few years."

Only then did Lin Siran feel a little relieved, and said, "Even if you're not by my side, it's fine if you want to, and... I believe that with my brother's ability, he will definitely be able to return to the capital soon."
