Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

When King Ying was secretly inquiring about Liang Jingcheng's preferences, he found that many of his preferences were very similar to those of his cousin Liang Liru.

The King of England originally suspected the relationship between Liang Jingcheng and his cousin Liang Liru, and now the King of England seems to be more and more certain of his suspicions.

After so many years, Liang Liru's family has changed a lot. When the old man of the Liang family, the King of Ying's uncle, retired, he was the councilor of Shannan Provincial Government, which was considered a fourth-rank official. However, he died less than five years after his retirement.

The old lady of the Liang family, who was also the aunt of the King of England, had passed away six or seven years ago. Now, only the eldest son of the eldest branch of the Liang family, who was the head of the family, was still in the government, but he was only a sixth-rank Tongpan. The other branches had all fallen into decline, and almost all of them lived on their ancestral property.

The King of England has never believed what the outside world said about Princess Cheng committing suicide for love, and he also suspected that Liang Jingcheng was the posthumous son of the King of Cheng. However, the people he sent to investigate have never found any relationship between Liang Jingcheng and the Liang family. Even after the news of the King of Cheng's death was reported back to Shengjing, the news of the entire King of Cheng's Mansion seemed to have been deliberately erased, and not even a trace was found.

Of course, there is a way to indirectly prove that King Cheng's posthumous child was born that year. Since Queen Cheng and King Cheng were buried together, all we need to do is dig up King Cheng's tomb, open the coffin and perform an autopsy to find out whether the child in Queen Cheng's belly was likely to be alive.

But the King of England could not make such a decision no matter what. He felt that the events concerning King Cheng's Mansion back then seemed to be shrouded in a veil. The King of England even suspected that there was something fishy about King Cheng's death.

After spending a brief half morning together, the King of England actually liked the two young men, Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng. In front of the two children, he did not have to deliberately put on airs as a distinguished prince of the dynasty, nor did he have to deliberately hide his emotions in front of the two children. In this short half morning today, the number of times the King of England laughed heartily even exceeded the total of the first eight months of this year.

After lunch, the scholars and students who claimed to be famous in Shengjing City began to show their talents.

Some people took out their recently successful poems and recited them aloud, which drew cheers and applause.

Some people wrote with brushes on the spot, expressing their true feelings and leaving all their lofty ambitions on the brush and ink.

There was also a young man who was good at painting, who, in the spotlight of everyone, presented the exquisiteness of the British royal garden on a flower scroll.

Among them was a young man who was quite famous in Shengjing. He actually painted all the pots of precious chrysanthemums that the King of England specially exhibited today into a flower scroll. It must be said that the young man's painting skills were really amazing. Everyone at the scene applauded and even the King of England praised him highly when he saw it.

As for the young men who were well versed in music, they would sit and play the piano, and the lingering sound of the piano would float throughout the entire British palace.

Of course, there were more young people who knew each other, sitting together in groups of three or four, discussing current hot topics.

Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng did not know many of the children of the powerful and wealthy in Beijing, and they did not have anyone they knew at the scene, so they sat in a corner, admiring the beauty of the palace garden, listening to the melodious piano music, and listening to the young people discussing hot topics passionately.

The King of England and the three princes also drank tea and talked about some light topics. From time to time, when they heard outstanding poems, they would applaud generously.

King Ying saw Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng sitting quietly in the corner, looking at the scenery across Lianxin Lake. Then he stood up and walked to the two of them. Everyone's eyes followed King Ying's actions and fell on Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng.

"My two friends, are you bored?"

Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng were staring at the scenery in the distance and did not notice the approach of King Ying. When they heard King Ying suddenly ask, they hurriedly turned around, stood up and politely saluted King Ying.

"The layout of the palace's garden is unique and ingenious. My fellow apprentices are admiring the scenery of the garden."

Hearing Liang Jingcheng say this, the King of England nodded with satisfaction.

"Today, many talented young people from Shengjing City have come here, and everyone is showing off their talents. Don't you two plan to show off your skills to everyone?"

The King of England's words attracted the attention of everyone present. Seeing that everyone was looking at his fellow apprentice, Ye Changyan winked at Liang Jingcheng. Liang Jingcheng understood and smiled slightly.

"My two brothers are not very talented and did not dare to embarrass ourselves in front of so many brothers. Since the prince has invited us, we two brothers will play and sing a song for everyone."

The King of England was a little surprised. There were many talented people who were proficient in music at the scene, and most of them were soloists. He did not expect that these two brothers were going to play together. From what Liang Jingcheng said, it seemed that these two brothers were not only going to play together, but also sing a song together?

The King of England nodded expectantly and asked about the two's requirements. Seeing that there was only one piano on the scene, Liang Jingcheng asked the King of England.

"My two brothers are planning to play a piece of music for everyone using the flute and zither. Is it convenient for you, Your Highness?"

Everyone at the scene was a little surprised. The timbre of the qin is simple, deep, and restrained, and scholars and students often cultivate their minds by playing the qin. The timbre of the zheng is crisp, bright, gorgeous and beautiful, but the zheng is more difficult than the qin in terms of diversity of techniques and speed requirements. Therefore, there are far more people learning the qin than learning the zheng.

However, playing the flute requires a high level of breath control, which is difficult for many people to master. Therefore, it is not easy to learn to play the flute well, and therefore relatively few scholars and students learn to play the flute.

Of course, it is not difficult for the British royal family to prepare the zheng and flute, according to Cui Wanrong, the chief historian of the British king.

"Go and bring over the princess's zither, and also bring over the jade flute in the study."

Soon, Cui Wanrong came to the garden with a jade flute, followed by two maids who were carefully carrying a zither.

Everyone was curious about what kind of tunes the two brothers would play with the zither and the flute. Even the three princes looked over here with anticipation.

Under Cui Wanrong's command, the two maids carefully placed the zheng on the stone table where the piano was originally placed. The two maids bowed respectfully and retreated to the corner.

King Ying waved to Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng, indicating that they could do as they pleased. Then Ye Changyan came behind the stone table with the zither on it, bowed to everyone, lifted his clothes and sat down. Liang Jingcheng nodded politely to Cui Wanrong and took the jade flute from Cui Wanrong's hand.
