Crazy criticism of the host’s beauty and seductiveness, the master’s love and flirtation

In one morning, all the exams were over.

The marking officer quickly reviewed the test papers of hundreds of people and selected a few outstanding ones and handed them to Sui Yunjing.

It lasted until the sun was about to set, and finally ended.

And the rankings finally came to fruition.

While waiting for the results to be announced, even though Suiheng tried his best to suppress his emotions, he was still filled with unstoppable excitement.

Sui Lin knew what he was so proud of, so he just glanced at him and ignored him, as if no one had a cheating device around him.

It was just that there was an extra variable like Sui Lin. In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Shen Qingman revealed the test questions he knew to Suiheng in advance.

However, Suiheng was smart and asked the question to someone close to him.

For example, Shen Shuhong, or the original Tanhua.

Sui Heng thought he knew Sui Yunjing's thoughts well and had prepared the answers in advance. He didn't know whether the two of them followed Sui Heng's ideas.

Everyone was anxiously waiting for the result outside the palace. Finally, Chuan Lu held the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand and began to sing.

The top pick is undoubtedly An Ruojin.

As soon as the name came out, Suiheng was dumbfounded.

The three figures in Yijia are all the same as in Sui Lin's memory, unchanged.

As for Shen Shuhong, he fell directly off the list from the original second place.

He failed.

Sui Lin laughed. It seemed that this new science prospect didn't have much trust in Suiheng. It was also possible that he was very confident in his own talents.

Suiheng, the second-ranked person and the one who came after him, listened unintentionally, and his confusion continued until the Qionglin Banquet.

The banquet was specially prepared for new scholars, and the three first-class people were naturally the center of the banquet.

Apart from the conversation about getting married, the other two people were surrounded by people with grimaces on their faces.

An Ruojin and Zhao Hongxuan looked at Sui Lin for help from a distance. Sui Lin raised his glass and made a helpless expression and looked away.

This scene happened to fall in Suiheng's eyes.

The subordinate who was supposed to belong to him was indeed snatched away by Sui Lin.

He laughed sadly twice, "Humph, your good days are coming to an end today."

[Didi didi, sir, there is a situation. 】Xiao Hei issued an alarm.

Sui Lin's hand holding the wine glass paused: [Huh? 】

[My Lord was drugged in his wine! ! ! 】

【What? 】

[It’s the kind of medicine that makes adults’ minds filled with only waste. 】Xiao Hei adjusted his paws, and there were a few pink slashes on his black face.

Sui Lin raised his eyebrows. Can shyness be embodied?

No, that's not the problem.

Suiheng is really a method that will remain unchanged for thousands of years. Do you really think he will be fooled?

Looking across Fu Mingchen, who was also alone, Sui Lin suddenly changed his mind.

It seems like he hasn't tried this kind of gameplay yet.

Sui Lin rubbed the wine glass and made a decision in almost a second. Under Sui Heng's almost scorching gaze, he drank the spiked wine.

Soon, his complexion turned rosy, and in the name of sobering up, he staggered away from the table.

While leaving, Sui Heng quietly followed Sui Lin.

The weather in May has become much warmer, but I still wear heavy clothes at the end of the year, and I only feel a coolness when the night wind blows.

He did not use his mental power to dissolve the medicine, and allowed the heat to continue to rise in his body.

But he always maintained his consciousness, waiting for the trap Suiheng set for him.

The footsteps behind him were approaching him almost without concealment. Sui Lin slowed down and was soon caught up by the person behind him.

"Your Highness, do you want to rest?"

The person who came was wearing eunuch's clothes and his head was lowered so that no one could see his face clearly.

Sui Lin rubbed his eyes: "Who are you?"

"Your Highness, your servant Fushun." He did not say who was serving him.

Sui Lin didn't care, and waved his hand: "You lead the way."

The corners of the little eunuch's downturned mouth were slightly raised, and he respectfully led the way. After twists and turns, he soon deviated from the road with more people.

Sui Lin stopped vigilantly and pointed at the little eunuch's head: "Bold and Diao slave, where do you want to take my highness?"

The young eunuch's expression did not change, and he still said respectfully: "Your Highness, you are not going to rest. I will take you to a shortcut. You will be there soon, and it will be convenient for you to rest as soon as possible."

Si Lin's consciousness seemed to be getting blurry. He believed the little eunuch's words and was sent to a dark room in a daze.

"Light up the lamp." Sui Lin ordered as he stumbled towards the bed.

"Your Highness, since you are going to rest, it is best not to light the lamp."

After thinking about it for a while, Sui Lin seemed to think it made sense. He took off his shoes and lay on the bed as soon as he kicked off his feet.

For a while, the only sound left in the room was breathing.

After a while, the person on the bed opened his eyes and glared at the little eunuch: "What are you still standing here for?"

The young eunuch immediately panicked and quickly apologized: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I will leave right now."

He turned around and went out, but he was wondering in his heart why His Highness didn't seem to be in any other condition besides being drunk.

Forget it, the dose is probably too small. After all, people are drunk and can't resist.

Sui Lin lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his consciousness extremely clear.

Not long after, he heard rustling movement outside the window, and before he could prepare himself, there was a muffled sound.

?

Coming so soon?

The door not far away creaked open, and the sound was unusually obvious in the quiet night.

Hearing the sound, Sui Lin immediately changed his posture and began to twist restlessly on the bed.

As soon as Fu Mingchen entered the house, he heard a noise a few steps away and froze in place.

His Highness's voice was very familiar to him, but the emotional Highness at this moment felt strange to him.

It was clearly an ambiguous scene, but Fu Mingchen only felt a thin, numb pain in his heart, as if the tip of a needle was stabbing it continuously.

His Highness, the person he held dear to his heart, was treated like this.

He walked softly and almost walked to the bed.

The soft gasps fell into his ears more and more clearly. He carefully helped the person on the bed and called in a low voice: "Your Highness."

Fu Mingchen's voice was always deep, but it seemed to be trembling at this moment.

His body couldn't stop shaking.

Sui Lin froze for a moment, it was over, it seemed that he had gone too far.

[Xiao Hei. ] Suilin asked without any hope, [Your master, are you okay? 】

Xiao Hei covered his eyes: [Don't ask me, I don't know anything. 】

Sui Lin: [……]

He could probably guess what Fu Mingchen was thinking, but he was unwilling or afraid to admit it.

But the play must go on.

He grabbed Fu Mingchen's sleeves, his eyes unfocused and sobbed: "It feels uncomfortable."

"Your Highness, it's okay. You'll be fine." Fu Mingchen promised him, then picked him up and left.

Sui Lin was shocked, where was he going? Such a great opportunity, why don’t you plan to do it?

"Don't leave, help me." Sui Lin whispered.

Feeling the struggle of the person in his arms, Fu Mingchen comforted him: "Don't worry, Your Highness, you will be fine soon."

Then he quickened his pace.

The banquet was still bustling not far from them, but the two people here were trying their best to keep calm in the extreme heat.

"Fu Mingchen."

"Your Highness, I am here."

"Fu Mingchen."

"I'm here."

"Fu Mingchen."

"Ah."

"I'm sorry." This sentence was extremely low, as if the words were swept away by the night light as soon as they were spoken.

After a long time, Fu Mingchen responded to him in a low voice: "It's not His Highness's fault, it's my fault for being careless."

Sui Lin nuzzled into Fu Mingchen's arms and quickly settled down again.

I don't know if it was because he was drunk or because of the delayed effects of the medicine, but now, he really had a reaction.

Fu Mingchen took him back to the mansion and quickly called Sun Huaihe.

Sun Huaihe and Fu Shishi, who rushed over in a hurry, were both shocked.

Fu Shishi was extremely anxious. He couldn't follow His Highness into the palace. He only left for one day, so why did His Highness end up like this?

Sun Huaihe hurriedly stepped forward to check his pulse. After a while, he said with a troubled face: "It's not a strong medicine, just express it."

Fu Mingchen understood instantly and let the two of them leave with a calm expression.

He walked slowly to the bed, held Sui Lin's hand, pressed a kiss on his lips, and said softly: "Your Highness, I'm offended."

*

The next day, Sui Lin fell ill as expected.

It's not that I did anything last night. In fact, it was precisely because I didn't do anything. I spent a long time in vain and got nothing except proving that this body is really rubbish.

But recalling the warmth of Fu Mingchen's palm last night, Sui Lin realized that there was still a slight progress in the relationship between the two.

However, Fu Mingchen only took action because of his physical condition.

Fu Mingchen didn't know that he had the mental power to repair his body. He only knew that his health had been poor since he was a child. Even with Sun Huaihe's personal care, he could only be good and bad.

He is afraid.

I am afraid that I will leave at any time when the year comes, so I am unwilling to go further.

Sui Lin sighed quietly. It seemed that he would have to conserve his mental energy in the future and not overdraw it.

If he is always bad, doesn't he have to keep his heart and desires in this world?

It's really sad.

Afterwards, Fu Mingchen transferred all his anger to Suiheng.

Suiheng was smarter this time, and he secretly tolerated it before the matter was settled. When he learned that Sui Lin was missing, he was shocked, angry, and happy at the same time.

Fortunately, he didn't have time to call everyone to watch the show, otherwise he would be the last one to play.

But, who saved Sui Lin, and why did he disappear without a trace?

Suiheng, who thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, went to court the next day with a dejected look on his face.

For some unknown reason, those bad old men in the Ministry of Rites began to criticize him in front of everyone. After joining the Ministry of Rites, they never reported in. It was clear that they did not take the work of the Ministry of Rites seriously, nor did they take the emperor seriously.

Of course Sui Yunjing knew about this, but he pretended not to know and lost his temper. He also fined him half a year's salary and asked him to help the Ministry of Rites.

Sui Heng wanted to argue but had no place to start. He looked confused and saw Sui Yunjing getting angry. After going down to the court, he asked him to go to the imperial study alone and scolded him again.

Sui Heng, who had been holding back his anger, turned around and went to Liu Qingli Palace as soon as he came out of the Imperial Study Room.

Since the last dream, he had become obsessed with thinking that Sui Yunjing would kill him, so he proposed to his mother and concubine to strike first.

But Liu Qingli disagreed.

Liu Qingli felt that he should stabilize his current position before making further plans.

The other princes were all dissatisfied. He was the only one who still had hope. Don't ruin yourself by rushing in for the moment.

Suiheng always listened to Liu Qingli's words and put his thoughts down for the time being.

But today's inexplicable pressure on him made Suiheng think of taking action again.

He had thought about it, if his mother and concubine didn't do it, he would do it himself.

*

After the palace examination, officials would be appointed. Under Fu Mingchen's operation, An Ruojin and Zhao Hongxuan were placed in suitable places.

An Ruojin has a reserved personality. After entering the Hanlin Academy, he will have a role in supervising exams and editing books in the future. He does not need to have strong social attributes, but his knowledge must be solid.

Zhao Hongxuan joined the Yushitai, and in the future he would refer to him if he was unhappy.

Sui Lin hopes that they can make up for their respective shortcomings inside, so that he can feel more relaxed in the future.

After Shen Shuhong failed in the palace examination, he left the capital and became a minor local official under Shen Hanzhang's operation.

The place where he works happens to be in the middle of Shu.

I am afraid that I am not here to manage Shen Hanzhang's business, or to wipe Shen Hanzhang's butt.

*

After a day's rest, Zhuang Zhijian finally delivered the news the next day.

Sui Lin took advantage of his improved health and went out to meet an appointment.

Zhuang Zhijian didn't have much money, and in order to stay hidden, he chose a small teahouse in the corner.

The teahouse was in a remote location, but there were a lot of people there, mostly traders and lackeys. The deafening noise covered up the conversation between Suilin and Zhuang Zhijian. The two looked at each other, and Zhuang Zhijian lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Your Highness, I'll forgive you. I live nearby, and I'm usually most familiar with you here."

"It's okay, it's the same everywhere." Anyway, he can let Xiao Hei block the attention of people around him, but it requires a lot of energy and can't be used too much.

However, the environment here is indeed not that good, and it is far to walk to Hubu.

Going to work at seven o'clock, Zhuang Zhijian was afraid that he would have to leave the house at six o'clock.

Putting back his wandering thoughts, Sui Lin looked at the young man across from him: "You came to me today because the matter last time has been settled?"

Zhuang Zhijian said seriously: "Indeed."

He pursed his lips and said, "To be honest with Your Highness, the person I was talking about last time was Mr. Wang, the Minister of Household Affairs."

Now it was Suilin's turn to be surprised. He had seen the Minister of Hube every day and didn't see anything unusual at all.

Otherwise, people in the ancient plane are all old foxes, with an average of 800 tricks per person.

At the end of the year, I feel defeated.

"What did you ask about?"

Zhuang Zhijian frowned: "Master Wang drank too much at the Qionglin banquet the day before yesterday. Master Shangshu felt that he was embarrassed, so he asked me to send Master Wang back early."

"On the way back, Master Wang kept saying that Master Shangshu wanted to cross the river and demolish the bridge, and pushed him out to take the blame."

"I tried to ask a few more questions, and then I heard from Mr. Wang that the accounts at the border gate are increasing every year, and this year they have doubled."

"Your Highness, I would like to ask more." Zhuang Zhijian raised his head, "Did you really not receive the payment from the border?"

Sui Lin said seriously: "That's true."

This is a fact confirmed by Xiao Hei.

Zhuang Zhijian understood and didn't ask him why he was so sure.

"I don't know if what Mr. Wang said is true. I'm not sure whether he was really drunk or fake yesterday. It's not impossible to guess the worst. Mr. Wang said those words on purpose to test me." Here, Zhuang Zhijian paused.

Sui Lin raised his eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, leave the rest to me. As for you, just be as usual."

"Just pretend you haven't heard those words."

Zhuang Zhijian breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Highness."
