I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 197 Qu Liancheng Returns to Beijing

Leng Yuanxun's idea was good, but Baili Haochen seemed to be very aware that his publicity would attract too much attention, so he disappeared from everyone's sight as soon as the competition was over, leaving no trace. People seem to evaporate from the world.

However, the reason why Baili Haochen was able to disappear so cleanly, apart from his strong martial arts and early preparations, was also to give Qu Lingxu a lot of credit, because Qu Lingxu's performance was so impressive. He was so amazed that Baili Haochen, the runner-up, seemed to be overshadowed a lot, so it was convenient to apply oil on the soles of his feet.

Getting No.1 as she wished, Qu Lingxu also wanted to run away quickly, but... it was a good idea!

First of all, the three examiners who are eager for talents, after Qu Lingxu politely declined to worship them as teachers, fully carried forward the great spirit of "perseverance" of the older generation of outstanding intellectuals, and took turns to give "excellent talents but unambitious ambitions" to the students. Gao's Qu Lingxu took the ideological education class. Although due to the objective reason that she is a woman, Qu Lingxu can only live up to the good intentions of a few erudite scholars, but out of respect, she must humbly accept it. Sheng really couldn't wait, so he thought of a wrong way to distract the two masters one after another, otherwise, seeing the interest of these masters, he would have a tendency to pull him to talk at night by candlelight.

"Xu..." Seeing that Rong Sheng was about to call out his real name, Qu Lingxu interrupted first: "My son, Xiaosheng Qu Fan."

Reminded by Qu Lingxu, Rong Sheng also realized that he had lost his sense of propriety when he was too happy, and then changed his words: "Young Master Qu has learned a lot, and this son admires him a lot. I wonder if I can treat you to a light meal as a token of my appreciation."

"Thanks to the invitation of the prince, Xiaosheng is flattered." Taking the opportunity to speak, Qu Lingxu and Rong Sheng exchanged a silent look, and then went downstairs as quickly as possible.

The results of the competition are out, and there are many people who want to get closer to Qu Lingxu for various reasons. The reason why Rong Sheng won the first place is because they are on the third floor, and the only one who can compete with him is that Three old gentlemen.

As for Leng Yuanxun?
Due to his limited status, as long as Qu Lingxu doesn't want to push himself to a higher level, he will never have too much interaction with the other party in such a public place. Regarding this point, Leng Yuanxun also thinks the same, so, just Put more thought into searching Baili Haochen's whereabouts.

By this time, if Leng Yuanxun can no longer guess Baili Haochen's real identity, he will have spent so many years in vain.

Because of the shadow left by the annihilation of Qu Liancheng's entire army, the emperor had a deep fear of the Red Lotus Sect, so he dispatched a large number of troops to the front line, so that now there are only less than [-] troops inside and outside the capital. Such guards, although not yet To the point of being stretched, but it is limited to ordinary defense, and it is not enough to resist large-scale enemy invasion. Therefore, Baili Haochen is undoubtedly a very dangerous existence. The situation we are facing will be very serious.

Therefore, every move of Baili Haochen in Beijing must be controlled by Leng Yuanxun, otherwise, the disaster brought by this man will be several times more serious than that of Chen Xiucheng.

Qu Lingxu didn't know about this for the time being, but with Rong Sheng's status as the eldest son as a barrier, she finally escaped from the crowd and got on the carriage back home.

"Hey, I finally understand what 'a woman without talent is virtue'." Qu Lingxu raised his hand and hammered his sore shoulder, and sighed helplessly.

It's okay once in a while, but if you socialize with these half-baked people every day, you will be bored to death even if you are not depressed to death.

"Whoever said that, I just think that a smart and quick woman is good, otherwise, who embroiders flowers and amuses birds every day, plays chess and listens to music, what can be done." Young Master Rong Sheng immediately objected, and then he was a little fascinated. He said with emotion: "Xuxu, you know, sometimes I really envy my grandfather, I envy him that he can marry a woman like grandmother, the husband and wife are united and support each other."

In the capital, Rong Sheng always gave people the impression of being willful and reckless, not afraid of anything, although after getting along for a while, Qu Lingxu's impression of him has changed a lot, but no matter what he said, it was nothing He was an unworldly ten-year-old boy who didn't have too many unique thoughts beyond his age, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

It can be seen that although Rong Sheng complained about the strictness of Mrs. Zhongyonghou from time to time, in his heart, she was still the most respectable grandmother and the best woman in the world.

The power of precepts and deeds is nothing less than this.

"'Husband and wife are of one heart, mutual support' is the dream of all women in the world. For this reason, how many women have given up everything, just asking men to keep their promises at the time, but in the end, how many of them got the friendship they wanted at the beginning? "There was no cynical sadness in Qu Lingxu's tone, but he said in a peaceful onlooker tone, "A person's life is too long. During this process, everyone will experience many things. Things and people's emotions will change more or less, not to mention, many relationships are full of utilitarianism from the beginning, so how can they have a good ending?"

Back then, Guo Shengtong devoted his entire family's efforts to ensure that Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu ascended the throne. It was so glorious to be conferred the title of empress.

"You should be Yin Lihua when you marry a wife." For Yin Lihua, Liu Xiu is naturally a good husband with deep affection, but for Guo Shi, it is all infatuation that will be used. No matter how much you regret and hate .

"Isn't there a happy ending?" Rong Sheng rarely refuted Qu Lingxu's words immediately, but asked softly after thinking for a while.

Qu Lingxu really wanted to say that love, an invisible and intangible thing, is like a ghost. Many people have heard of it, but few have seen it. With a thick cloud of melancholy, I belatedly realized that my words were too heavy, so I swallowed back the words I hadn't said yet, and said instead: "Of course there are. Is that so?"

In the ancient times when there were many wives and concubines, it was not easy to win someone with one heart, but even if you met such an affectionate husband as the old Hou Ye, the yin and yang were separated early, leaving the old lady to spend the rest of her life painfully in loneliness and memories .

Thinking of this, Qu Lingxu seemed to understand why the old lady had to be so strict with Rong Sheng, because only by cultivating her grandson to be talented and ensuring the prosperity of the family from generation to generation, could she have the face to meet her long-lost husband... …

"Xuxu, what are you thinking?" Seeing Qu Lingxu's gaze focused on one point for a long time, Rong Sheng couldn't help but reach out and shake his hand in front of her.

Rong Sheng's actions made Qu Lingxu recover from the thoughts scattered to the horizon, and said with a light smile, "It's nothing, just thinking about what articles I asked you to memorize recently."

As a person who has never been hurt by love, it is better not to think about those sad stories, otherwise she may run away before Leng Yuanxun regains the country.

Rong Sheng is a child at heart, and originally wanted to get to the bottom of it, but when he heard that there was an article to memorize, his small face immediately turned into a bitter gourd, and he tugged on Qu Lingxu's sleeve, begging pitifully: "Xuxu, can you Don’t you memorize it? I don’t need to take the No. [-] examination.”

As a general, Rong Sheng's talent in martial arts needless to say, at a young age he was able to pass fifty strokes under Leng Yuanxun's hands. Although Leng Yuanxun restrained his strength on purpose, for a ten year old child It is extremely rare, but when it comes to reading, it is not the case at all. In his own words, he feels sleepy when he sees densely packed words, and he can't remember them in his heart at all.

"The purpose of reading has never been to test for the number one scholar, but to cultivate one's morality and improve one's spiritual realm, so that in the future, no matter whether you are in good times or bad times, you can maintain a peaceful mind." As soon as these words came out, Qu Lingxu felt a sense of preaching It was too heavy, so he smiled lightly and said: "Actually, it's not that complicated. Think about it, if you read the book well, when you see a bird flying by the river, it will be like 'Sunset clouds and lone ducks fly together, autumn and water share together. The sky is one color' instead of sighing 'crow, what a crow'."

"Really!" Qu Lingxu's vivid explanation made Rong Sheng laugh. After a while, he tilted his head and continued to play tricks: "Then I want to read interesting books, not those boring historical books."

"It's up to you." No matter what book, as long as he is willing to read it.

In fact, the reason why Qu Lingxu cared so much for Rong Sheng was not only because Rong Sheng was one of the few people who sincerely treated her well, but also because of his sensitive identity.He is the son of Princess An Le, the emperor's nephew, and if the day comes when the truth is revealed, he will naturally bear the brunt of being implicated. She cannot stop this scene, but she still hopes to do her best to let Rong Sheng distinguish right from wrong, and not to do it because of this. Fall into long-term entanglement and even hatred.

Rong Sheng didn't expect Qu Lingxu to agree to his request so readily, and nodded happily, "Then it's settled, I'll go back and beg my grandmother in a while."

"Ah."

Although Qu Lingxu was a little tired, she was still in good spirits. She chatted all the way back to the General's Mansion. As soon as she got off the carriage, she felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. The color of understanding.

"Rong Sheng, I'm a little tired, you should go home first." Although Qu Lingxu trusted Rong Sheng enough, there are some things that it's better not to let the other party know.

"Rest well, I'll come back to you tomorrow." Rong Sheng hurried home to 'negotiate conditions' with Mrs. Zhongyong Hou, and he agreed very readily.

"it is good."

After sending Rong Sheng away, Qu Lingxu walked slowly into the mansion. Just two steps away, the butler hurriedly greeted him, "Miss, you are finally back. The master has been waiting for you in the study for a long time."
