"Shuang'er, what you made for me is mine. There's no reason to take it back!"
"Uh-huh, now that I've taken it back, it's no longer yours!"
Jiang Qingping rolled his eyes and raised his hand to grab the bowl of soup. Ling Shuang backed away hastily, but Jiang Qingping turned around, waved his long arm, and locked the person directly in his arms.
In arms.
"Brother Qingping, how could you do this? This is a foul!"
"Hmph, my study room, I have the final say, so what if it's a foul, eh?"
The two of them were now in a half-hug position. Jiang Qingping held the person tightly in his arms, locking Ling Shuang's arms with his two long arms and not letting go at all.
After a long stalemate, Ling Shuang suddenly burst out laughing.
"Humph, brother Qingping, you are like this, with both hands locked on me, you still can't drink!"
"Who said that?"
Jiang Qingping's hand suddenly exerted force, and he fished the person over in an instant. He took Ling Shuang's hand and drank it in one gulp. The sweet and soft lotus soup was in his stomach in an instant. Jiang Qingping leaned down and drank it all in one breath.
Then he looked up again.
"What, did I drink it?"
The man raised his eyes proudly, but the strength of his hand did not relax at all. His clear eyes looked at the person in front of him, as if the stars were falling in the sky, so clean that Ling Shuang was distracted for a moment.
"Brother Qingping, what you are doing is really ridiculous! How come you have lost the elegance of scholars and their reserve and lack of sensuality?"
Ling Shuang calmed down and deliberately teased the person in front of her.
"Shuang'er is my wife, how can it be considered ridiculous? What's more, even the most powerful people have to get married, and all the bachelors have wives, so it can't be considered my crime!"
Ling Shuang was amused by the unreasonableness of the person in front of her. She playfully patted him a few times, and then she snuggled into his arms obediently.
"Brother Qingping, if you pass the selection exam, where will you go? Will you go back to Fengrun County? Or will you stay in the capital and serve?"
The days in this house in the capital were so beautiful, as beautiful as a dream, that Ling Shuang didn't dare to wake up at all. She just wanted to be drunk here forever. She was really scared, and the dream was torn apart after being awakened.
My heart is broken, I don’t want to think about it, and I don’t dare to think about it.
Jiang Qingping gently hugged the girl in his arms, his eyes were full of tenderness.
"The purpose of this selection examination is to recruit talents for the imperial court. The prince is a brave man. Although he is ruthless, he is decisive in doing things. Most of the people in the imperial court are convinced by him. If I can really be selected this time, in the future, I should be the prince.
Your Majesty, let your men do their work."
The corners of Ling Shuang's mouth twitched for a moment, and then she spoke again, "Then when does Brother Qingping plan to return to Fengrun County?"
Hearing this, Jiang Qingping also had a look of helplessness on his face.
"I just lamented that I was too young and acted recklessly, which hurt my father's heart. He didn't reply to any of the letters I sent back to him. He probably was too angry with me and didn't want to talk to me. Hey,
When this selection test is over, I will go back to apologize to him!"
How could it be so fast? Ling Shuang’s hands under her sleeves were tightly twisted together. She didn’t expect that the final judgment would come so quickly!
Jiang Qingping was not aware of Ling Shuang's thoughts at all.
"I was young and frivolous before, and I didn't know what to do. In the future, I just want to live a good life with you, Shuang'er. I will take you back to see my father, and I will definitely let him promote you to his wife."
Ling Shuang was filled with sorrow, her eyes moved slightly, and the desolation that filled her stomach finally turned into the word "good" at the corner of her mouth.
However, it was said that Li Zhiyuan's cheating incident caused a sensation, which reached the Tai Chi Palace and reached the ears of the emperor.
"Song Aiqing, I heard that some candidates cheated on the spot in this selection examination. Is this true?"
Song Bingzhang had long expected such an incident and had already prepared his words.
"Back to the emperor, it is true that this matter has happened. The minister has now captured the person and put him in prison."
When the emperor heard this, he slammed the Bodhi beads in his hand to the ground. The golden thread broke instantly and beads flowed out everywhere.
"Within the capital city, the six officials supervise the administration, and I have personally sent important ministers to supervise the production. Yet they still dare to cheat in the examination room. They simply do not take the law or me seriously! What a bastard.
!”
The emperor was so angry that he laid his corpse thousands of miles away. For a time, no one in the civil and military court dared to come forward and reply.
"Song Aiqing, why are you still keeping that bastard in custody? Send him to the frontier for me to cheat in the exam. He has already lost his literary spirit. There is no need for me to pity him anymore. He will never have to study in this life!"
Song Bingzhang lowered his head, suddenly stood up, and stepped forward to bow.
"Back to the emperor, the old minister thought that Li Zhiyuan was a simple man and his crime was not that serious. He was injured in the arm and could not take the exam because of the help of his benefactor, so he gave up the opportunity to take the exam for himself and took the exam for someone else. He did not
The plagiarism was just in a somewhat inappropriate way, and I believe that this is not the crime."
The emperor's angry mood suddenly calmed down for a few moments. He didn't expect that the man actually had such a tortuous story.
"Your Majesty, although the scholar cheated in the exam, I think it is excusable and I ask Your Majesty to give him a lighter sentence."
"That's all." The emperor closed his eyes helplessly, "What about Li Zhiyuan's test scores?"
"Back to the Emperor, I looked at his answer sheet privately. Although some parts were not finished, the rest should be grade A."
It was a good idea, and the emperor finally relented.
"Because his mind is not right, I ordered him to be banned from taking the selection examination within three years. For the rest, everything will continue as usual."
In the prison, when Li Zhiyuan heard the news, he almost knelt down.
He thought that he would never escape this disaster. Unexpectedly, the emperor only punished him with a three-year suspension from the exams. It was really a great kindness from the emperor!
The supervising officer opened the shackles on his hands and said coldly, "You are free, get out quickly! Originally you should have been exiled for rebellion, but the emperor was extremely angry about your matter. If it weren't for our bachelor
My lord, I have resisted the pressure and advised you. At this moment, you are already on the way to be assigned!"
Hearing this, Li Zhiyuan burst into tears immediately and was deeply moved!
"Many, thank you so much, Bachelor, Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng, I owe you a debt of gratitude, and I dare not forget you in this life!"
Song Bingzhang was wearing a cloak and was covered in chill.
"You don't have to thank me. You have a lot of talent and knowledge. Only the Emperor is willing to give in. Study hard in the future and don't think of anything else. I have never looked at the wrong person. You will definitely have a great future!"
Li Zhiyuan's eyes had already filled with tears. Big teardrops rolled down his face and hit the ground hard.
