Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 719 Not necessarily a good person
In late August, Meng Changqing received a letter from the capital.

The sender was Chen Xingqi, and Meng Changqing guessed that this must be a reply to the letter she had sent earlier.

Unfolding the letter, it was indeed so.

The letter contained a large portion of text about how the Crown Prince was thinking of him in the capital and told him to take good care of himself.

After reading through all the content, Meng Changqing could only laugh helplessly twice.

Since the Crown Prince has been mentioned, Meng Changqing couldn't help but have some unrealistic expectations. Since he was so concerned about her, he might as well bring her back to the capital.

Meng Changqing shook his head, thinking to himself that the Crown Prince was also a good-for-nothing.

At the same time, the Crown Prince, dressed in his wedding attire, sneezed.

The eunuch serving the crown prince immediately whispered a reprimand to the maidservant, "Hurry up! Don't let His Highness catch a cold."

The Crown Prince raised his hand to stop the eunuch from speaking further, "Stop talking!"

"Yes."

The Crown Prince looked at the old eunuch's wrinkled face and felt a pain in his eyes. He thought of the same clothes, which looked quite charming on Tao Zi, but only made him feel uncomfortable. The Crown Prince turned his head away and ordered, "Go out and see why the young master of the Chen family has not returned yet?"

"Yes." The old eunuch bowed and withdrew, quickly finding Chen Xingqi on a small path outside the East Palace.

Chen Xingqi stood facing the tree, tears welling in his eyes.

The reason he secretly grieved was naturally related to the affection he dared not ask for, much less receive.

Today happens to be the wedding day of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.

Chen Xingqi naturally got up early to help.

For imperial celebrations, all procedural matters were handled by the Ministry of Rites, while all trivial matters were taken care of by palace maids and eunuchs.

Chen Xingqi's assistance was nothing more than following the Crown Prince and doing some private tasks assigned by him.

Before the auspicious hour arrived, Chen Xingqi left the Crown Prince's side, heartbroken alone. He remembered Meng Changqing's words and dared not let anyone see his sorrow.

He didn't want his one-sided feelings to cause trouble for others, but unfortunately, he couldn't control his emotions; his heart was truly beyond his control.

"Oh, what are you doing standing here, Your Highness? He's looking for you."

Chen Xingqi wiped his face hastily. "Okay, I'll go right now."

The eunuch noticed his reddened eyes and asked, "Alas, sir, what's wrong?"

Chen Xingqi used the excuse that the wind made his eyes squint to fool the situation.

Meng Changqing, far away in Beishan County, could not possibly witness the grand spectacle of the Crown Prince's wedding.

All she could see was the roof of the Beishan County Government Office, and once she left the office, all she could see were fields and people.

Under the same sky, some people live within red walls and on jade steps, while others toil day after day in thatched huts and earthen walls.

In general, fewer people can afford to live in palaces with red walls, while more people live in earthen houses.

Meng Changqing closed the notebook on his desk and thought about the book in his hand. Its content was simple yet profound, making it suitable as extracurricular reading for students. So he simply took out some paper and planned to copy it and give it to Mo Lixiao.

Thinking of the students in the school inevitably brings to mind Bafang and Laicai.

Don't you know the results of the college entrance exam are out? Have the results been released yet?

You don't realize how much someone is around until you're apart from them.

As the end of August approached, Meng Changqing eagerly awaited news. Even if Bafanglaicai didn't write, Uncle Dai would eventually report the results to them.

Meng Changqing certainly hoped that both of them would pass the exam.

Although he told the two of them before the exam that they should try it out next time, and whether they passed or not would be a result, that was what he said before the exam. If anyone actually failed the exam, Meng Changqing would probably have a whole bunch of sarcastic remarks to say.
