After being expelled from the palace, she returned with her cub and amazed the whole city

After Xiang Song finished speaking, he added: "General Zhan is guarding the south, so Liang Guo must not dare to invade in large numbers."

"Liang Guo'an has been separated for many years. He knows that there is a plague after the drought in Wanling. He wants to take advantage of it." Xiao Jingzhao said with a touch of frost in his eyes.

No wonder the father refused to come to the capital. It turned out that he had already guessed what Liang Guo was thinking.

"Your Majesty, it is said that the person who wants to swallow up Yan Nan this time is the third prince of Liang Kingdom, the son of Princess Nanzhao."

"So it's possible for him to bring Nanzhao together to attack our Wanling?"

After Xiang Song finished speaking, Xiang Yang took over and looked at Xiao Jingzhao with a worried look.

Xiao Jing was silent for a long time and analyzed: "The Liang royal family will definitely not let the prince born to the princess inherit the throne. The third prince personally led the troops to attack Wanling in order to reverse his status and get the courtiers to support him in inheriting the throne. "

Xiang Song said: "What the emperor said is absolutely true. The struggle for the throne of the Liang Kingdom is in full swing, and the Liang royal family will inevitably cause a bloody storm. This is not the best time to attack other countries. The three princes of the Liang Kingdom are eager to make contributions."

"Your Majesty, we were sent out to inquire about the disappearance of the eldest prince of the Liang Kingdom. News should be coming back in the past few days." When Xiang Yang saw Xiao Jingzhao reaching for the rice paper, he quickly prepared his pen and ink.

The next day.

In the early morning, Xiao Jingzhao discussed with the ministers and sent out the imperial edict that had been drafted.

He transferred 50,000 soldiers from the Northwest Army and sent another 30,000 soldiers from the camp in the western suburbs of the capital to the Yannan border.

Since Xiao Jingzhao ascended the throne, although the treasury is not full, it is no longer as empty as before.

In the eldest princess's mansion, Song Yunzhi was feeling depressed about her isolation and helplessness.

At this time, there was a guard outside the door asking to see him.

"Madam, three groups of people came out of the palace, seemingly to convey an order."

Song Yunzhi suddenly became energetic and said, "Where are you going to convey orders? Send someone quickly to find out."

The guard took the order and left. Less than an hour later, the guard came back and reported, "A number of soldiers from the camp in the western suburbs have gone south."

"Is there a war in the south?" Song Yunzhi raised her eyebrows with joy.

The guard was stunned and thought, Madam is crazy. How can she be so happy when there is a war on the border.

I saw Song Yunzhi shouting outside: "Come here, wait for the pen and ink."

Just as the guards were about to retreat, Song Yunzhi shouted: "Go quickly and prepare your horses, and bring two more skilled guards with you. Come back to get the letter when you are ready."

…

The day before the scientific examination, many scholars from far away went to Gongyuan to explore the way.

Su Jin lived in the capital when he was a child, and he still remembered the way to Gongyuan.

After breakfast, Su Nan and Sui Sui went to play in Shu Qingyunzhai opposite. Su Jin was about to go back to the study to read when Lan'er came to Shu Mo Xuan.

Nangong Zeyue was busy decorating the restaurant, and he was almost invisible during the day.

"Master Cousin, please come over, Miss."

When he walked into Xingyue Courtyard, he saw Qiu Ju coming in carrying a bamboo basket.

When Jiang Shuyue saw Su Jin coming, she walked out of the room and said to Su Jin: "A Jin, come with me to Zhen's house across the street. Zhen Jingxiu, the eldest grandson of Zhen University Bachelor, will also take the scientific examination this year. I will follow you later. Maybe he’s a colleague, let’s get acquainted.”

Su Jin smiled and nodded in agreement, "A Jin, listen to my sister."

Su Jin took a look at the items in the bamboo basket, which were beef strips, noodles and dried radish.

He had seen them all yesterday, and his sister also taught him how to eat them. I have to say, the taste was amazing. If he opened them and ate them, he could eat two cans of beef strips at one time.

And that dried radish, he could eat two big bowls of it with rice.

Su Jin took the bamboo basket from Qiu Ju's hand, "The ceramic jar is heavy, I'll carry it."

The three of them came to Zhen Mansion, and Zhen Jingxiu happened to be in the front hall.

He hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, "Miss Jiang, please come in."

A blush appeared in his ears unconsciously, and he quickly turned his attention to Su Jin.

He was dressed in blue robes, with a slender figure, sharp features, and a gentle smile on his lips. He exuded a unique scholarly atmosphere.

His eyes are as clear as springs, giving people the first impression that this person is smart and wise. If you look closely, you can see that there is a perseverance that a scholar does not have.

"Master Zhen, this is my cousin Su Jin. He just came from Yannan and will take part in the scientific examination this year." Seeing Zhen Jingxiu looking at Su Jin, Jiang Shuyue turned sideways and introduced.

Su Jin handed the bamboo basket in his hand to the steward on the side, and handed it over with a smile, "My lord, Su Jin, here are the food that my sister is going to take to the Gongyuan. My sister has also prepared a portion for Mr. Zhen."

Zhen Jingxiu clasped his fists in return and invited a few people to the hall. After sitting down, Jiang Shuyue explained how to eat beef strips and noodles.

"Miss Jiang is so amazing. She actually thought of such a wonderful way to eat it. Grandma is worried about how I will spend these days in the Gongyuan." Zhen Jingxiu looked at Jiang Shuyue with eyes full of admiration.

Jiang Shuyue smiled and said, "You are so polite, Mr. Gentleman. I have learned this from daily life. Autumn in the capital is slightly colder than in the south. If lard is not used for sealing during this season, cooked food will be spoiled."

"You two are about the same age and have common topics. You chat while I go to see the old lady."

Just as Jiang Shuyue was about to get up, a maid came to invite her to the backyard.

Su Jin said to Jiang Shuyue: "Sister, go ahead. I can just talk to Mr. Zhen about the scientific examination."

After Jiang Shuyue left, Su Jin and Zhen Jingxiu quickly became familiar with each other.

Su Jin talked about his feelings about the current situation in Wanling and what he saw on the road.

Watch him talk.

Zhenjing's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect that Mr. Su's views are so similar to Mr. Lin from Yannan. After the scientific examination is over, I will be the host and let you two get to know each other."

Su Jin quickly stood up and handed over his hand, "Thank you Mr. Zhen for the introduction. Su is new here and I feel extremely honored to be able to meet like-minded friends."

Before going out, his father once told him not to mention the past to anyone and start everything from scratch.

It is said that birds of a feather flock together, and the two of them chatted while sipping tea, feeling as if they had met each other at a late date.

After entering the Weeping Flower Gate, Jiang Shuyue and Qiu Ju followed the maid to Madam Zhen's courtyard.

Seeing Jiang Shuyue, Mrs. Zhen was so happy that she couldn't even open her mouth from ear to ear.

"Girl Yue, your prescription works so well. I don't have a headache these days and I can sleep until dawn."

The mother-in-law on the side also agreed: "That's right, thanks to Miss Jiang's prescription, the master's complexion is much better than before."

Jiang Shuyue raised her eyes and looked around, and saw that Mrs. Zhen's face was glowing, and her previous haggard look was indeed gone.

"The old lady has taken good care of herself, and the little girl only took care of herself a little bit. She doesn't deserve the old lady's praise." Jiang Shuyue said modestly with a slight blessing.

The old lady pulled Jiang Shuyue to sit beside her, and even Qiu Ju offered her a seat.

After a while, the maid quickly served tea and cakes.

Jiang Shuyue told her the reason for her visit today, and the old lady inevitably said some words of thanks.

She thought for a moment and took a sip of tea: "Old madam, you don't have to be polite. Quanzi is studying in your private school. Thanks to the care of Mr. Zhen, my daughter has been busy with the medical clinic all day and didn't even come to say thank you."

Madam Zhen was confused and thought she heard wrongly, so she quickly asked: "Yue Yatou, who is the dog you are talking about?"
