The Times Spent in Pretense

Liu Mingshi of Hawksbill Turtle took the other two scholars and hurriedly left the tea shop. He didn't go far. He heard the screams of a man and the people's applause.

The screaming man lay on the ground and was stepped on the ground by a woman who looked thin and weak. The woman shouted: "Hand over the old man's money bag!"

The man shivered out of the pocket in his arms, and was trampled on the feet by the woman.

Seeing these fierce scenes, the three of them stepped back a few steps and changed lanes. However, before they had gone far, they saw a few beautifully dressed girls coming over, letting the men on the street see their faces clearly, without wearing a veil.

"It's really bad." Liu Mingshi quickly opened his sleeves to cover his eyes. The two young literati behind him blushed and couldn't help but look at them while not looking too far.

"How can a woman allow a foreign man to have a peeping look, Dajin is so pretentious, like an uncivilized land." Liu Mingshi grieved, and hurried back to the embassy with two young literati.

After falling asleep at night, he even had a nightmare of being scolded by Dajin scholars and being hit on the ground by Dajin women.

Liu Mingshi wiped the sweat on his forehead, thinking panic, Dajin is really a place of evil.

Hua Liuli also had a night's dream. She dreamed that the little prince was standing on the observation deck in the palace. He looked at her pitifully, as if he had been countless wronged.

With such a look, Hualili couldn't help but stepped forward and said to him: "What do you want?"

The little prince did not speak.

"I want the stars to help you pick them up, and the moon to help you pick them up."

The little prince held out her hand and gently held her finger, and suddenly became a handsome adult prince. He looked at her tenderly, and his beautiful eyes were like vast stars: "I want..."

He opened his mouth and said, but Hua Liuli couldn't hear what he said.

After waking up from the dream, she sat on the bed sullenly and kept thinking about what the prince in the dream wanted, always feeling that she did not meet his requirements, and she felt uneasy.

"Sovereign, you woke up so early?" Yu Rong lifted the tent lightly and handed a warm towel to Hua Liuli.

"I had a dream and couldn't sleep."

"What's the dream of the county master?" Yu Rong waited for her to dress and wear shoes.

"It's nothing." Hua Liuli shook her head. After washing, she sat in front of the bronze mirror. She took out a phoenix from the jewelry box and held it in her hand for a moment. Then she said, "This box of jewelry was sent by His Royal Highness?"

"Yes. When my wife came back, she wished to go to Taoist Temple. Outsiders saw that the prince was walking with you, and some rumours came out." Yu Rong thought that Hualili had forgotten the origin of this box of jewelry. People sent several boxes of jewelry one after another. This is one of them."

"Oh." Hua Liuli thoughtfully.

Two days later, the palace test officially began.

As the future prince, the crown prince also appeared in the hall along with Emperor Changlong. These candidates come from different places and have different identities.

In order not to let these candidates have a psychological burden, Emperor Changlong never went down to see how these candidates answered the questions. The prince is different. He walks around among the candidates from time to time and is very leisurely.

After the exam in the morning, lunch will be provided by the palace. According to the previous rules, most of these meals are light and tasteless. The candidates who are already nervous cannot eat much.

However, this year's candidates had better luck, and the prince specifically ordered to add a few dishes for them. The nervous candidates smelled these fragrances and finally felt hungry.

"Hua Xiong, by coincidence, these are your favorite dishes." Yao Songbai and Hu Hua Changkong sat together, opened the food box, and whispered into Hua Changkong, "This is a good sign."

Hua Changkong did not expect that the food boxes sent by the prince were almost all dishes that he liked to eat and were not greasy.

In order to enter Beijing and participate in the imperial examinations, some underprivileged students have been very frugal. If they suddenly eat too much oil and water, they may cause diarrhea, which will affect the performance of their palace tests. Therefore, when preparing meals for the candidates in the palace, they will deliberately avoid oily and greasy food.

"This is a good sign for all of us." Hua Changkong laughed, "The crown prince deliberately added dishes for us. Do you say it is a good sign?"

"Hua Xiong said rightly." The students who knew Hua Changkong all smiled as they should. Most of these are children of the rich family. For them, being able to participate in the palace test is already a victory, so the mentality is very stable.

Lin Sen sat silently in the corner, looking at the lively crowd of Hua Changkong and his entourage. If you didn't refuse their invitation, you should sit and laugh with them now instead of sitting alone in the corner like now.

He didn't look down on the students of Hanmen, and the invitation of Gaomen's children was rejected by him personally. For a time, Lin Sen was a bit discouraged and felt that he was being crowded out by these candidates.

In the afternoon, the palace test was not over yet, and the prince slipped out brightly under the glare of Emperor Changlong. He rode out of the palace and found the Hua family at the palace gate.

In addition to the Hua family, there are several family members of the candidates staying outside. These people are all people with heads and faces in the capital. Seeing the prince discovering that they were standing outside the door, they were a little embarrassed and came forward to salute with blushing.

"You don't need to be too polite." The prince smiled. "It's unclear how the sons of each government answered the question alone, but their manners are outstanding, so don't worry."

"Thank you, Crown Prince." These people thanked all of them, but they were shocked. The prince saw that they were staying outside, not only did not rebuke them, but also actively told them about the situation of the candidates?

Such a gentle and considerate prince, they are actually not used to it.

After coping with these people, the prince drove the horse to the Hua family, before waiting for them to salute, they turned over and said: "The two generals don't have to pay much courtesy."

He gave a glance at Hua Liuli. Hua Liuli got the horse on his horse and followed him for a while before he got off the horse and asked quietly, "His Royal Highness, how is your brother doing?"

The crown prince followed Hua Liuli to dismount and threw the reins to the person behind him: "The lone worried about the influence of the three sons, only a few glances. The lone thought that with the talent of the three sons, there would not be too many Big question." He smiled softly. "At noon, people added a few dishes, and the three sons ate most of them, indicating that he is very confident in the afternoon exam, so you don't have to worry."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Hua Liuli lifted her heart instantly. She touched it in her arms and found a series of bracelets: "This is for your highness."

"Is this?" The prince reached out and took it. Each piece of jade beads on the bracelet was made of fine jade material. On such a small jade ball, various patterns of auspicious meanings were carved, which is rare. Treasures.

"One of the junior generals in the army was a jadesmith. If everyone got good materials on weekdays, they would love to let him sculpt some objects." Hualili coughed. "Last year, the servants and daughters got a few good things, so he helped them. The female sculpted something for her family. The uncle of the general said he would sculpt something for the future partner of the courtier and daughter.

Speaking of which, Hua Liuli smiled helplessly: "But the partner where the courtier comes from, thinking about it, thinks that it's certainly nice to wear this to His Highness. His Royal Highness sent so many things to the courtier, the courtier didn't have a few Get a hand in return."

"Liu has already sent a gift back to the orphan." The prince gently rubbed the jade beads on the bracelet and smiled.

Hualili wondered, did she give it away?

In her stunned spirit, the prince handed the jade beads back to her.

"Your Highness?" Hua Liuli looked at the prince in a puzzled manner. "You don't like this?"

"The lone likes it very much." The prince sighed softly. "But this is Liuli's future husband's thing. How can the lonely person win the favor?"

"Which is not a husband, but a few jokes from the uncle General." Hua Liuli took the bracelet from the palm of the prince, held the prince's arm, and put the string on the prince's wrist. "Your Highness likes it, everything else unimportant."

Sure enough, people with good looks also have beautiful hands. Yuzhu was worn on the prince's wrist, and it seemed to be a lot of moisture.

"The bracelet is Liuli who put it on the lonely," the prince looked at Hualili and smiled, "The lonely will not pay it back in the future."

"What else is there, what is sent out, how can it be returned." Hua Liuli smiled, "His Royal Highness, the servant girl is the kind of person who rebels and stole?"

"No." The prince smiled softer. "It's the heart of a lonely man."

"It's okay, the courtiers and daughters won't mind." Hua Liuli touched the horse's head. "His Royal Highness, courtiers and daughters dreamed of you last night."

The prince touched the jade string on his wrist: "What's the dream?"

"Sister-in-law dreamed that you were standing on the observation platform, and she was so cute. The daughter-in-law asked you what you wanted, and you didn't say it. Finally, the daughter-in-law coaxed you for a long time. Wake up.” Speaking of which, Hualioli touched her chin and asked the prince curiously, “His Royal Highness, do you have anything you want?”

"When I was a child, I saw other brothers having a concubine, and thought about what it would look like if the concubine was still alive?" The prince smiled. "But as the age gets older, the father and the emperor are also very good. This idea gradually faded."

"Now, is there anything you want?"

The prince looked at Hua Liuli quietly and smiled after a while: "Yes."

This is the look, this is the look!

The current prince seems to overlap with the prince in the dream. Although the prince in the dream is wronged and the prince in front of him smiles, Hua Liuli feels that their eyes are so similar.

"What is it?"

The wind rose, blowing the crown of the crown prince.

He reached out to help Hua Liuli to sort out the drooping Suchai, which was chaotic by the wind, and smiled softly: "You will know."

Hua Liuli reached out and covered her chest. This kind of feeling that the cat gently scratched her paw, as if she was still being licked, was a bit... strange?

The fifteen-year-old girl is full of vitality and has a fresh taste all over her body.

He couldn't bear to think that it might embarrass her and frown her.

The prince couldn't help but chuckled and sang her index finger and lightly tapped her forehead: "Li Liu... is still small."

In the teahouse, Xie Yao looked at this scene with a blank expression, and his palms were choked with blood from his nails. She looked away coldly, and said to her maid: "I heard that there is a very powerful killer in the capital named Wusan?"

The maid nodded.

"You want to find a way to contact this killer." Xie Yao's eyes were full of cold killing intentions, "I want to spend Liuli's life."

"As long as she can kill her, any amount of money will do."

The author has something to say: May 3rd: The killer industry is dead, don't look for me!
