Palace scheming: Empress Leng Palace

Chapter 180

"Oh, it's Miss Yun and Mr. Wan, it's a pleasure to meet you! Miss Yun laughed, Xiaosheng just read "The Analects of Confucius." Zhong Nianlou cupped his hands again, saluting to Yunqing and Xuanyuanze .

Yun Qing replied indifferently, but Xuanyuan Ze remained lukewarm, giving Zhong Nianlou a very oppressive feeling.


Strange to say, the man in front of him has a handsome face, star eyebrows and bright eyes, fair complexion, clearly a literati temperament.But in front of him, he always gave him an indescribable domineering arrogance.


He couldn't help guessing that this person must be either rich or noble, so I don't know if he already has fame?But looking at the aura between his brows, it is enough to make people secretly fear. If he is an official in the court, he must be a young and promising new talent.


Seeing that Xuanyuan Ze always said nothing, Yun Qing couldn't help but feel a little anxious at that time.She turned her head to look at him, then said to Zhong Nianlou with a smile:

"The Analects of Confucius is a classic masterpiece of the Confucian school. Its book embodies Confucian's political views, theoretical thoughts, moral concepts, and educational principles. When you read this sage book, you should be a sage. How can you be ridiculous?

Hehe, I am a little girl, and although the content of the Four Books of Shujing is interesting, it is always not good.I remember the last time on the Lantern Festival, I saw the young master's elegant conversation and good couplets.After my elder brother went back, he often mentioned you to me, saying that you are a rare talent, if you get the name in the exam in the future, you will be at the top of the list. ".


Xuanyuan Ze thought about it, and when she heard her specifically mentioning himself, Fang Jun's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Yun Qing with some surprise, and then he roughly understood why she was so impressed by a strange scholar.

Now that she heard it, she understood what was on her mind.It turned out that she wanted to recruit talented people for herself, and she wanted to find wise men for herself!

His mood suddenly relaxed, he had been holding Yun Qing's hand tightly, and he had changed from tightly holding onto her fingers just now to happily clasping her five fingers.Interlocking his fingers tightly with her, he smiled lightly.

Regarding his change, Yun Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.She didn't reject his interlocking fingers with her, but just let him interlock in a relaxed mood.


Fortunately, he no longer faces people so rigidly. If this continues, I believe their communication will be in vain.


"Where is that, Miss Yun is too well-reputed! Xiaosheng took reference for three years, but except for one scholar in the first year, he failed every year. I am really ashamed." A little disappointed and deeply sighed, in Yunqing and Xuanyuan In front of Ze Ze, Zhong Nian Louhao did not shy away from his failure, but he just lamented his poor luck in the exam. In the past three years, he has not even been admitted to a Jinshi.


Alas, he is not afraid of reading at night and retaking the exam again and again, and he is not afraid of being ridiculed for failing again and again.He was just afraid that if he wasted his years year after year, in the end, after studying hard for decades, he would end up with no hope of fame and fame, let alone serve the country.

In that way, for a scholar who wholeheartedly wants to serve the court, it is a wasted life and a life in vain.


"A gentleman can't get enough to eat, and he can't live in peace. He is sensitive to things and cautious in his words, so he has the way and is righteous. It can be said that he is studious. Zhong Jun is studious and diligent. Even if he is not famous, he is still worthy of admiration." Xuanyuanze smiled faintly, looking at Zhong Nianlou who was startled slightly because he spoke suddenly, there was a smile of appreciation in his eyes.


Zhong Nianlou was shocked physically and mentally, although the other party was just a strange friend, but these words proved that he was also a kind-hearted fellow who was dedicated to doing good and striving to apply what he had learned.


Yes, he immediately continued enthusiastically: "If you have five out of ten, you will be determined to learn; you will stand up at thirty; you will not be confused at forty; you will know the destiny at fifty; In just a few decades, the sages have worked hard all their lives, but they finally see through. I just want to use my energy to serve the country and the people. When I am old and useless, I can fulfill my wish."


"Listening to the king's words seems to be not for fame but for the safety of the country, so I would like to ask, what is Zhong Jun's opinion on the current government?" Junmei raised his eyebrows, listening to this person's great distinction between the way of sages and fame. Clearly, Xuanyuanze couldn't help but look at him with admiration, and the topic changed from the shallow talk just now to the detailed discussion with him.


After talking about it, the two simply sat on the ground, while Yun Qing sat beside Xuanyuan Ze with nothing to do, listening to him asking about Zhong Nianlou's analysis of the current situation and various political affairs as an ordinary citizen. element...

It sounds like two young men with the same interests were chatting with each other, but as an insider, Yun Qing knew that Xuanyuan Ze started to get along with the person in front of him because he gradually became aware of his talents. We had a great time.


In this way, the two of them lived far and wide, from current politics to human relations, from court to common people, from ancient times to the present, from mountains and rivers to the countryside... In short, the two of them had almost all the profound topics that could be discussed between men. What was said made Yun Qing on the side almost speechless.


She didn't want Xuanyuanze to have such a chattable moment, and she didn't want that Zhong Xiucai, who seemed rigid and rigid, to have surprisingly novel and unique views on some situations and current affairs; The refreshment made Xuanyuanze's eyes flash, and his appreciation for this person increased several levels.


So until the sunset gradually slanted, the two of them didn't have enough meaning to chat.Yun Qing saw that it was getting late and they should go back to the palace, so he gently pulled Xuanyuanze's sleeve, reminding him softly that it was time to go back to the palace.


Xuanyuanze regained his senses from the conversation, saw his Yun Qingdan smiling expression, remembered that he obviously took her out to relax, but in the end he left her aside and chatted happily with others, he couldn't help but smiled slightly apologetically .

But Yun Qing didn't mind his coldness, he just blinked and said goodbye to Zhong Nianlou with a smile.


Xuanyuan Ze couldn't help stretching out his hand to gently take her hand, with an apology that made Yun Qing slightly understandable in his eyes.

And Zhong Nianlou saw the scene where the two were so warm, and his voice stopped abruptly. He looked at the two in a daze, and had an illusion: If these two were not brothers and sisters, they would be the most enviable A pair of Biren.
