one.

Ming Jingbo returned to Beijing to report his work, just in time for the candidates to come to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

Many candidates I met along the way were in their prime and were full of yearning for the capital and the future.

As there are too many scholars, it is inevitable that you can talk big and talk about things when you get together.

In the inn, a scholar wearing a green robe said: "The last time I went to the capital to participate in the imperial examination, everyone outside said that the queen was charming the holy heart and the fifth prince was arrogant and domineering. Unexpectedly, in just two years, people have begun to praise the queen and the prince."

He did not say bluntly that people change their minds when they see the wind, but he had some meaning in his words.

Most students who can pass the imperial examination have a steady temperament and have gaps in their chests. When they hear the words of the green robe candidates, they pretend not to hear them, and they use their own meals.

The way to act is to cause trouble when you go out.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the candidate in the green robe couldn't hold on his face and sat down in the corner in disappointment.

Ming Jingbo looked at the candidate with a smile kindly and spoke to relieve the other party's embarrassment: "I wonder what the young master has?"

When the candidate in the green robe saw the middle-aged man dressed decently and behaved elegantly, he began to talk to the other party: "In my opinion, these are all fence-bearing grass. They will fall to wherever the wind blows."

"From the young master's opinion, I seem to be dissatisfied with the current behavior of praising the prince?"

The scholar in the green robe saw the middle-aged man with encouragement and seemed to agree with his statement. He suddenly started talking about his nature: "The fourth prince has been famous both civil and military since he was a child, but after the fifth prince married the daughter of the Ming family, he was exposed for countless crimes. Is this a coincidence?"

Ming Jingbo nodded with a smile and signaled the candidates in the green robe to continue talking.

Then he heard a bizarre story, probably the Ming family joined forces with the fifth prince to slander the fourth prince and help the fifth prince seize the position of crown prince in order to seek the Ming family's glory and wealth.

"Nonsense!" A candidate with a patched clothes could not bear it and slammed the table. "The three masters of the Ming family have done so many good things for the people of the world. Why have they become famous and famous in your mouth? I feel disgusted when you open your eyes and talk nonsense. Stay away from me quickly and don't taint my ears."

The three brothers of the Ming family have a high status in the minds of scholars. After the candidates who wear patches come forward to refute, several candidates stood up to stand up for the Ming family.

"You said the prince framed the fourth prince, and I still think it was the fourth prince who deliberately slandered the prince." A candidate said: "I heard that the prince attaches great importance to scholars. He not only donates money and books for scholars, but also stands up for scholars. Your Majesty is a wise monarch who is rare in a thousand years. If the fifth prince is really stupid and incompetent, how could Your Majesty let him be the prince?"

“That’s it, that’s it.”

The candidates looked at the green-robed candidate with angry eyes, and even Ming Jingbo, who was talking to him, received a lot of contemptuous eyes.

"Sir, I think I am a person who has seen the world. Do you agree with this gentleman's statement?"

Ming Jingbo smiled and shook his head and stood up, asking the servant to pay the shop's money: "You are the pillars of the country. I wish you all the titles."

Seeing that the middle-aged man was so gentle, the candidates were a little embarrassed. They bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. I don't know if you are visiting relatives or other places in the capital. If it is convenient, we can go with you together."

"My surname is Ming, and he is the second child in his family. He will naturally go home when he goes to Beijing." Ming Jingbo smiled and bowed, turned around and left the inn.

bright?

All the candidates thought this surname was particularly friendly.

A candidate from Lingzhou was hiding in the corner and shivering. What's the kindness or not? He is Ming Er from the Ming family in the capital.

The legendary smile is hidden in the smile, and the sharp blade of the tongue is filled with a poisonous tiger.

The three brothers of the Ming family had a conflict with the Ming family in Lingzhou, and the reasons were unknown, but the news that the three brothers of the Ming family asked to leave the clan was almost known to everyone in the city.

Adults all said that the Ming family in Lingzhou must have done a lot of things that have done to the three brothers of the Ming family, otherwise the kindness of the three brothers of the Ming family would not make things so ugly.

There are all kinds of things that are spread privately, so that Lingzhou candidates have an unwritten rule: Don’t mention that they are from Lingzhou in front of the three brothers of the Ming family, so as not to arouse their sadness and cause trouble for themselves.

Ming Jingbo has not returned to Beijing for many years. Because of his duties, he cannot even return to Beijing even if his niece married the fifth prince. Now he has finally got the chance to return to Beijing, but unfortunately his niece has moved into the palace, so it is even more difficult to meet him...

Disaster?

Ming Jingbo stood in the yard of his third brother, looked at the prince who was following behind his third brother and sister, who was diligent in holding the plates, and silently turned his head and asked Ming Jinghai: "Brother, when did the fifth prince become so well-behaved and obedient?"

When he left Beijing, the fifth prince was only seventeen years old. He wore brocade clothes and deer leather boots, and brought a group of playboys to tease cats and dogs, and others avoided them when they saw it.

"Cough cough cough." Ming Jinghai looked at the little niece who was walking towards him: "What's so strange about His Highness the Crown Prince and treating others with courtesy?"

Ming Jingbo looked at his elder brother suspiciously, and there was something wrong with his elder brother's mind.

"Uncle, second uncle." Jiuzhu held the washed fruit and put it in front of the two of them: "There are no delicious fruits in early spring. These are frozen pears and tangerines hidden in the palace cellar. You can try it."

Wouldn't it be nice to just move the things from the palace back to your parents' home?

Ming Jingbo thought to himself, but his hand reached out honestly.

"Little Pig." Yun Duqing put down the plate that decorates the snacks and waved to Jiuzhu: "Come."

Jiuzhu trotted to him.

"Open your mouth." He took a piece of snack and put it into her mouth: "How is it?"

"It's delicious, not greasy or sticky." Jiuzhu pulled his sleeves: "Another piece."

"Like it?" Yun Duqing fed her another piece.

"I like it." Jiuzhu nodded.

"Meet me and me."

"I poured the water."

"I sprinkled sugar."

Yun Duqing put down his chopsticks, put his hands behind him and raised his chin slightly, as if waiting for Jiuzhu to say something.

"So this snack was made by Your Highness, yourselves?" Sure enough, the next moment, Jiuzhu jumped up in surprise, and she reached out to hug him: "Your Highness is so amazing, you really can do anything."

Yun Duqing showed a proud and satisfied smile: "Do you want to eat another piece?"

"want!"

The three brothers of the Ming family sat in a row in the corner, looking at the erotic couple with different expressions.

After a long time, Ming Jingbo spoke: "It's so good to be young."

Ming Jingzhou stuffed a tangerine into his hands: "Second brother, eat fruit."

Eat more and talk less.

"I was worried that my niece would suffer from grievances when I was with the prince, but I didn't expect that the prince was so... innocent."

Yes, innocent.

Ming Jingbo saw pure happiness and trust in the prince.

He is very happy to be with Jiuzhu. He has complete trust in Jiuzhu and Ming family.

Which father-in-law, who doesn’t like such a son-in-law?

It was not until it was dark that Yun Duqing and Jiuzhu left in a carriage. Ming Jingbo looked at the carriage away and suddenly realized that not only the prince trusted the Ming family, but His Majesty also trusted the Ming family.

"When will you leave?" Ming Jinghai asked.

"Five days later." Ming Jingbo withdrew his gaze: "As a parent, it's not good for me to leave for too long."

The three of them are already prominent. If they are all staying in the capital, even if His Majesty trusts them, there will be rumors.

To uphold justice and keep the world in mind is the persistence of the three brothers over the years.

Although there are few gatherings and many miles apart in recent years, I feel that everything is worth it as the people are gradually getting rich.

"Jingzhou and I have asked for two days off. In the past two days, our brothers and three of us have a good time in the capital." Ming Jingzhou smiled: "The next time we meet, it will be a few years later."

The three brothers looked at each other and laughed, like young men, talking about the wine and food in the capital.

I don’t mention separation, but I know that the short reunion is the next separation.

two.

After the Enke Palace Examination, the Ministry of Rites held a Qionglin Banquet in the palace. The Jinshi respectfully attended the banquet. In the majestic and atmospheric hall, they seemed a little restrained.

In addition to the famous Jinshi on the list, there were other officials and children of the royal family.

Listening to the laughter of the princesses, the Jinshi's cheeks were red and they dared not raise their eyes to look at them.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is here, and the Crown Princess is here."

The Jinshi quickly stood up and bowed, especially those from poor families, who were particularly excited.

The princess who was still laughing and laughing just now was particularly quiet in front of the prince. Perhaps no one wanted to be the second princess Rude and was scolded by the prince in public.

However, what surprised the princesses was that today Yun Duqing was particularly gentle and easy to talk. Whether it was the top scholar or Tanhua, he was smiling and elegant.

The princesses didn't understand what was going on, but Princess Huai and Princess An knew the truth.

Because the Crown Princess is present today, the noble and perfect Crown Prince, how could he show any shortcomings in front of the Crown Princess?

"The prince and the princess have been married for more than a year, and their relationship is still so good." Princess An sighed: "Sister-in-law, do you think we should ask Jiuzhu, how do we maintain a freshness with the prince?"

Princess Huai laughed when she heard this: "I have nothing new to you with our prince."

If a man is disobedient, he is probably abusive, so he should be more aggressive to him.

She remembered last year's Lantern Festival, when the fifth brother and the fifth brother and sister were not married yet, and the two held hands holding lamps and walked away in the bustling crowd.

At that time, she was still worried about Jiuzhu, and she was finally disappointed by Yun Duqing.

She thought she could see through people's hearts, and now she realized that people's hearts are different, life and death are separated, marriages are in harmony, and they all have their own fate.

Hopefully, five years later, ten years later, fifty years later, she will see them sitting together with trust.
