After Zhou Mingyou was born, Zhou Chengde's prejudice against he Jinlian gradually decreased. He originally put all his opportunities on song peirou. He hoped that song peirou could give him a son. As a result, he still gave birth to a daughter. He was so frustrated that he decided to put his heart on his career.

At that time, when Zhou Chengde was in the Imperial Academy, he often saw Chu Xiaoran, the third prince, appear in the Imperial Academy, but the second prince didn't see much.

Zhou Chengde always wondered why song Qinghua went back to support the second prince and the third prince who did not have much support.

Chu Xiaoran was popular in the Imperial Palace at that time. Basically, it can be seen that soon, there is a great possibility that Chu Xiaoran will become the emperor.

At the moment, Zhou Chengde is reading all kinds of ancient books in the Imperial Academy to summarize and sort them out. His colleagues are also sorting out these things.

Suddenly, a high cold voice came from the door: "Your Highness three is here."

They immediately stopped their work and came to the door to meet Chu Xiaoran.

"Don't be polite, everyone. I'm a regular here. Why are you so polite? What should you do? You go on. I just come to see. There's no other meaning. If I disturb your affairs because of me, I'm sorry." Chu Xiaoran said with a smile.

At that time, Liu xiankai, Liu Jinghong's father, was just an editor in the Hanlin Academy. He was a colleague with Zhou Chengde. At that time, there was another Hanlin scholar named Li Hong.

"Your Highness came here and neglected it for a while. Please don't blame your highness," Li Hong said.

Chu Xiaoran shook his head: "Bachelor Li, don't say that. If you say that, I'm sorry to come here again next time. In fact, I came today to see the number one scholar in the imperial examination. It is said that I was very talented and wanted to see it all the time. I was very busy some time ago. I didn't have time until today. Student Li can't hide his clumsiness and let me throw myself into the air."

Li Hong was not surprised to see that Chu Xiaoran actually came to see Zhou Chengde. Chu Xiaoran was a famous talent lover in the palace. This time he came to see Zhou Chengde for such a long time, which was actually a little unexpected. It's not too surprising to come here now.

Although Li Hong was not surprised, Zhou Chengde was not so calm. As soon as he saw Chu Xiaoran, Zhou Chengde suddenly remembered what he had discussed with song Qinghua in the study of the Song government.

I could have come here at the same time, because I promised Song Qinghua, as Song Qinghua's eye liner, came to the Hanlin academy to keep an eye on Chu Xiao's situation, so that he could repay Song Qinghua at any time so that Song Qinghua could respond at any time.

Zhou Chengde is here for a while and has been watching him. When Chu Xiaoran was young, he was also a heroic and elegant figure.

"Chengde, please greet your highness soon," said Li Hong.

Zhou Chengde quickly stood out from the crowd and respectfully saluted Chu Xiaoran in front of him: "please see your Highness the third prince."

Chu Xiaoran waved his hand, then looked at him carefully and said, "Zhou champion doesn't need to be polite, just like usual. This champion really didn't disappoint me. I don't know if Zhou champion is interested in going out for a few drinks with me?"

"Your Highness, just call my name." Zhou Chengde replied, "there are still many things to be done here. I'm afraid I can't drink with your Highness for a while."

It's hard for Zhou Chu Xiaoran to appear in the Imperial Academy once. How can Li Hong make Chu Xiaoran jump into the air? He hurriedly said, "Chengde is fine. Since your highness asks you to drink, it's your honor. I'll ask you to do it for you in a moment. Just drink with your highness."

Liu xiankai also said, "Chengde, don't worry. I'll take care of your business. Just remember to invite me to dinner next time."

These words all say this place. If Zhou Chengde still refuses Chu Xiaoran's invitation, he won't give Chu Xiaoran face. He brushed Chu Xiaoran's invitation in front of so many people. Where does Chu Xiaoran face go?

"Thank you, brother Liu. I remember the meal." Zhou Chengde said with an arched hand.

Chu Xiaoran smiled: "Zhou champion, let's go."

"Your Highness, please call me by my name," said Zhou Chengde.

"OK." Chu Xiaoran smiled playfully, glanced at Zhou Chengde and said, "go to me and let's have a good talk."

Zhou Chengde followed him to Chu Xiaoran's bedroom with an uneasy mood.

"I don't know what your highness called Weichen here for." Zhou Chengde said bluntly.

Chu Xiaoran didn't directly answer Zhou Chengde's words at the beginning. Instead, he looked at the bad environment around him and said to the guards around him, "step back first. No one can come in without my orders, you know?"

Chu Xiao ran calmly retreated about, and then slowly said to Zhou Chengde, "brother Chengde, don't worry, let's say slowly, you sit down."

Zhou Chengde sat down slowly. Chu Xiaoran picked it up and poured him a glass of wine.

Zhou Chengde quickly stretched out his hand: "Your Highness, I can't do this. Just let me do this." then he took the wine pot in Chu Xiaoran's hand and poured Chu Xiaoran a cup.

Chu Xiaoran raised his glass and said to Zhou Chengde, "have a toast."

"Dry."

They raised their glasses and drank them all at once.

"Good wine." Zhou Chengde sighed with emotion when he drank such good wine for the first time in such a long time.

"Wine is a good wine. Unfortunately, I haven't met anyone who understands and appreciates him, so I've always been lonely. I'm always drunk alone. I don't know if brother Chengde can be a bosom friend of this wine." Chu Xiaoran said slowly, "I'm drunk alone. I have nothing to do. Loneliness often accompanies me."

"Your Highness won the hearts of everyone. Why did you say such words to me tonight?" Zhou Chengde thought silently in his heart. Chu Xiaoran's behavior was really strange, which made him confused.

Chu Xiaoran looked rather indifferent and said faintly, "Chengde, Chengde, on the surface, you see that I am loved by so many people, but how many of these people are sincere to me?"

Zhou Chengde didn't say it, because he didn't know what to say now. After all, this was the first time he met Chu Xiaoran and had no friendship. Why did Chu Xiaoran say such words to himself? He had been thinking hard in Zhou Chengde's mind. If he couldn't think of this reason, Zhou Chengde didn't dare to say anything.

"On the surface, these people blew me to the sky. In fact, they thought I didn't know. It's just that I might sit in that position in the future. But to be honest, despite my current scenery, I'm not sure I can do that position. None of my brothers and brothers is a fuel-efficient lamp. They don't do anything on the surface. In fact, they have been in the dark for a long time Chu Xiaoran spoke to himself as if he were talking to himself.

"Why don't you talk, Chengde?" Chu Xiaoran glanced at Zhou Chengde.

"Your Highness, you've drunk too much. Your highness is loved by thousands of people, and even loved by the emperor. How can other princes be your opponents? The throne will certainly be yours in the future." in front of Chu Xiaoran, Zhou Chengde will say whatever good words he has.

"What you see is too simple, but I don't blame you. You spend so much time in the palace. Some things can only see the surface, but can't see the essence. It's not surprising to say so, but I want to remind you that after thousands of years of bloodshed in the palace, some things can't see the surface, just more than me Scenery, but to be honest, I'm really not as good as my other brothers, "Chu Xiaoran said.

"Your Highness is joking." Zhou Chengde said one by one.

"Chengde, do you know why I let you come here today?" Chu Xiaoran suddenly stood up from the ground and looked at Zhou Chengde with bright eyes. He looked very serious and changed his previous drunkenness.

How could Zhou Chengde know that Chu Xiaoran wanted him to come here, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know. Please give me your Highness's famous words."

Chu Xiaoran looked at Zhou Chengde so quietly. His cold and fierce eyes made Zhou Chengde lower his head and dare not look directly at his eyes. However, Chu Xiaoran still didn't speak. They looked at each other so silently. In this state, it lasted about a cup of tea. Chu Xiaoran slowly took back his eyes and then sighed gently.

"In fact, before looking for you, I have checked your situation." Chu Xiaoran said slowly.

Zhou Chengde was stunned. He didn't understand what Chu Xiaoran was doing.

Chu Xiaoran said word by word: "Zhou Chengde, formerly known as Zhou Yuhua, your name Zhou Chengde is actually the same as that of song Qinghua. Song Qinghua changed your name personally. You were originally from Pingzhou. The first imperial examination was ten years ago. At that time, you ranked first in the Pingzhou rural examination. At that time, you came to the capital to take the examination, but you didn't think you didn't even get a ranking, This has dealt a blow to your full confidence. Since then, the road of the imperial examination has been bumpy, and there have been few good results. "

"This..." Zhou Chengde was surprised and speechless. Chu Xiaoran was able to say all his previous things in one word, and there was nothing wrong with everything.

Chu Xiaoran paused and continued, "when you were so frustrated that you didn't have any confidence in the imperial examination, you met your noble man, song peirou."
