The ninth day of the second lunar month in the thirteenth year of Chenghua

Before dawn, Huang Lin had already gotten up and had breakfast.

Today is the day for Wang Jiufeng's exam, and the exam venue is at the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites.

After checking what he had brought with him one last time, Wang Jiufeng took a book boy with him and went out for the exam accompanied by Huang Lin.

The book boy was carrying a basket, which contained the four treasures of the study and some food. After all, each exam lasted three days.

It's just that Huang Lin's eyes are a little strange.

Did he think that this kind of exam requires stripping and searching? I heard that the anus is also required?

"What's wrong with Brother Huang? But what's wrong with being a brother?"

Wang Jiufeng asked strangely.

"It's nothing, I just heard that the examination room in Gongyuan is cramped and cramped. Brother Wang is afraid that he will suffer."

Huang Lin randomly found an excuse to deal with it.

"Haha, no matter how many people want to endure this kind of suffering, they can't. It's only nine days. After each exam, you can take a night's rest."

Wang Jiufeng smiled, he was quite confident this time.

The closer he was to the Ministry of Etiquette, the more candidates took the exam, and his classmates and friends would greet him from time to time.

After sending Wang Jiufeng to the hotel and seeing that he successfully passed the first inspection and no one could be seen inside, Huang Lin turned around and left, leaving the book boy to return to the inn alone while he explored the capital.

This capital is said to have been the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and later Emperor Chengzu lived here when he was still King of Yan.

After the Jing Dynasty, Chengzu moved his capital here. Later scholars used the saying "the emperor guards the gate of the country" to describe Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

As expected of a capital city, it was just past midnight and the streets were already crowded with people.

Huang Lin wandered around with the crowd without any destination. He looked here and touched there.

When I saw a lot of toys for children at a stall, I suddenly remembered that I hadn’t visited Zhu Youer for more than ten days, so I couldn’t help but look back at the Forbidden City.

It was not appropriate to go there at this time, so he searched the streets for toys suitable for Zhu Youer.

Trojan, buy it!

Clay figurine, buy it!

Bamboo Man, buy it!

Candy, buy it!

Snacks and pastries, buy more!

Buy, buy, buy all the way.

When I returned to the inn, I already carried two sizable bags.

Put all the things in the room into the deduction board, then sort them into categories inside, and throw aside the ones that can make any noise.

Everyone gathered together to eat and play, just waiting for it to get dark.

Huang Lin always felt that time passed very slowly today, so he reluctantly suppressed his thoughts, read the medical book, and carried it for two more days before it got dark.

He waited patiently until the end of Xu, then changed into navy blue clothes and set out.

Under the cover of night, we hurried all the way and crossed the city wall from the northeast corner of the Forbidden City.

I went straight to the small courtyard from last time. Before I entered, I spotted a thin figure at the corner.

It was still the ill-fitting cotton coat, and the hair that the "mother queen" had combed for him was messed up again.

Sitting in the corner, hugging his knees, his little head moved little by little.

Are you dozing off?

Huang Lin took out a large baggage from the deduction tray and took out the food box.

Then he walked over gently and rubbed his little head, which felt cold.

Zhu Youer was half asleep and half awake when he felt someone touching him. He woke up and covered his mouth with his backhand.

He raised his head and stared at Huang Lin in horror.

But it was too dark and he couldn't see the person coming, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

"It's me."

When Zhu Youer heard the sound, he let go and breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and whispered:

"Brother Huang, are you here to see me?"

There was excitement in the little voice.

"Well, Brother Huang has been a little busy lately. Why are you sitting outside? What if you get frozen?"

Huang Lin took a breath of energy and felt quite guilty in his heart.

"A new queen moved into this courtyard a few days ago. Youer is not here now. Brother Huang, come with me."

After saying that, I was about to stand up, but my legs were a little numb, and I couldn't stand still, so I fell sideways.

Huang Lin grabbed his cotton coat, carried it over, picked him up and said:

"You show me the way, and I'll carry you there."

"Well, this way."

"Eat slowly, it's still early, don't be in a hurry."

After changing to an empty courtyard and still in the innermost hut, Huang Lin first got a table of food for Zhu Youer.

Judging from the way he was eating in a hurry, he might have been hungry again in the past few days.

Also, in this palace, there are rations for food. If there is more food for one person, it will be easily noticed by interested people, even a child.

After he finished eating, Huang Lin asked again what he had just said:

"You didn't say anything just now, why are you sitting outside? Aren't you afraid of freezing?"

"Well, there's no one living in that courtyard anymore. I'm afraid that Brother Huang won't be able to find You'er when he comes, so I'll go there and wait for you in the evening. You'er isn't afraid of the cold, but I'm afraid that Brother Huang won't be able to find You'er because I'm in a hurry."

Zhu Youer touched her bulging belly and felt so full after eating.

"How many days have Youer been waiting there?"

Huang Lin's throat was a little blocked and he blamed himself.

"Soon, including today, there will only be three days in total."

Zhu Youer blinked his clear eyes and said.

"Well, even if you change places again in the future, don't guard me anymore, you know? Your brother Huang is very capable, and he will definitely be able to find you!"

Huang Linqiang finished speaking with a smile, opened the bag again, took out the toys one by one, and continued:

"Brother Huang brought this in from outside. You can play with it first, and I will take it with you when I leave later. Do you understand?"

"Well, Youer knows that many people will die if he is discovered, right?"

"Yes, You'er is really smart. You play for now, and Brother Huang will bring you a big wooden horse. Don't make any noise."

Zhu Youer, who was very happy, was touching and looking at the toys among the toys. He couldn't even look at them. When he heard that there was a big wooden horse, he immediately said:

"Brother Huang, go ahead. Youer knows that he won't make any noise."

Huang Lin decided to take Zhu Youer out of the palace. How pitiful!

But this is a prince. If one day the emperor knows about this son, he may search for him all over the world.

But if the emperor really found him, he would just pay him back. After helping him take care of his son for a few years, he might even thank him and reward him with something.

Huang Lin didn't know much about this matter, so he wanted to ask someone who knew first to see if it could be done.

He doesn't know anyone in this palace, and the only one he can ask is the "Queen Mother" of Jingyang Palace!

Jingyang Palace

As soon as Madam Wu lay down on the bed, she heard a sound coming from outside.

"Has the Queen rested? Huang has something to ask!"

It was a young man's voice, not loud, but very clear.

Wu was nervous for a while, why did a strange man enter this palace? If someone found him, he would not be able to explain.

He shook his head at Xiaocui, who was also awakened, and signaled her to be quiet, then whispered back:

"It's late at night, I'm just a waste queen, you go ask someone else!"

After a moment of silence, Wu thought the man was gone. Just when she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the voice again.

"Huang didn't mean any harm, he just wanted to ask about Youer."

"What?!"

Wu was immediately shocked. Only a few people knew about Zhu Youer. If this was spread, the harem would probably turn upside down.
