The True Winner of the Red Chamber

The next morning, when Yaru yelled at the door, both of them woke up.

Yesterday I said I was drunk, but it was more of an excuse to pretend to be crazy. I just applied cold water to my face, and the little discomfort disappeared without a trace.

The two looked at each other with a tacit understanding and smiled, Zhen Yingjia said: "Go to the yard for a walk before having breakfast?"

The rest of the day went well. Last night, both of them shared their secrets. Although they still kept it half hidden, they felt much more relaxed.

Zhen Yingjia showed a bit of a gentleman's demeanor with a wave of his hands and a throw of his feet, and Kang He was born with extravagance, even the maids around him were stunned.

After lunch, the two got into the carriage again and went to Qingsong Academy.

That night, Kang He called his servants to come, and sent a letter to Beijing, entrusting the Crown Princess to take care of Zhiyin, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family.

Although the Crown Princess was not favored, she was the daughter of a family chosen by the emperor back then. Even if the Crown Prince sometimes made troubles in private and made her feel ashamed, but even so, the Crown Princess had never been singled out for her dealings with others.

Therefore, although the crown prince has a concubine Zhao who he likes, he is willing to praise her, but the emperor and queen above are very respectable to the crown princess. Whatever the crown princess wants to do, she will definitely be able to do it.

Kang He thought for a while, and planned to wait for his mother's reply before slowly revealing it to Zhen Yingjia.

To say that the original intention to recruit Zhen Yingjia was only three points, but after three months of being classmates with him, this thought has risen to six points. After being drunk yesterday, I heard Zhen Yingjia's cryptic complaints about the Wang family and Jia's family, and this thought went straight to nine. point.

In the beginning, Kang He wanted to recruit him because of Zhen Yingjia's family background and the emperor's favor. Kang He himself is the emperor's eldest grandson, so he naturally knew that with the emperor's favor, there would be a lot of opportunities in front of him.

When I came down to study with Zhen Yingjia, I saw Zhen Yingjia's hard work again. He never stopped studying every day, and with the Li family father and son working behind his back, he would definitely pass the imperial examination.

In the end, what completely reassured him was that Zhen Yingjia herself wanted to change boats.

Kang He smiled, stood at the door and waited for Zhen Yingjia to come out, and went to the school together.

in Beijing.

Because a heavy rain washed away the road on the road, Ji Chu didn't have time to reach the capital before the Mid-Autumn Festival.So when he was waiting at the back gate of the palace, it was already August [-]th.

Ji Chu waited in the long room inside the Shenwu Gate, feeling quite nervous, for fear that he would miss the master's errand because he was two days late.

Just as the two were restless, the door opened.

The eldest girl Zhiyin, whom she hadn't seen for almost a year, walked in.

Ji Chu hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and took another careful look at Zhiyin, so that he could go back and answer the master.

Looking at it this way, I found that Zhiyin has grown up a lot, except for her figure, she has more demeanor, but the ten-year-old girl now has a straight face, very similar to her wife who has gone.

"You talk here, and I'll watch outside." Zhiyin was accompanied by a court lady who was a few years older than her, but the clothes and jewelry on her head were not as good as Zhiyin's. Waiting for the maid.

"Miss." Ji Chu looked at the maid's eyes with flickering eyes, knowing that this person's motives for following here were not pure, and immediately made a teary look, and said: "Master asked me to bring you something, this is Madam The winter clothes I made for you before I died."

While talking, his eyes were red.

The same is true for Zhiyin, she sighed, "Mother, she..."

The maid who came with her nodded slightly and closed the door.

"How are the younger brothers and sisters at home? How is father doing now? And grandma." Choking with sobs, Zhiyin asked the family members one by one.

Ji Chu also followed this topic, saying: "The two girls have grown taller, and the young master has already memorized all three hundred thousand."

Zhiyin's face turned cold suddenly, "Shh", she put her index finger in front of her lips, made a silent gesture, and said after a while, "She's gone."

Zhiyin narrowed her eyes, "Go back and tell your father that the prince is afraid that something will happen, so let him make plans early."

Ji Chu was taken aback, and immediately continued: "Master is also for this matter, master plans to take the imperial examination—" before finishing speaking, Zhiyin interrupted.

"Imperial examination?" Zhiyin said these two words and then fell silent. She thought for a moment and said, "It's a good idea, but next year is the provincial examination. Is it too late?"

Although it was a question, it was definitely said in an affirmative tone.

"Master has already gone to Qingsong Academy to study at your grandfather's house."

Zhiyin sighed, she had only been in the uterus for a short year, she had really seen everything, and then she fully understood what a wrong decision it was to send her in.

Zhiyin laughed at herself, she thought it was a good idea back then.

The expression on Zhiyin's face suddenly became very serious, "I will be fine here, you go back... let father hurry up."

Ji Chu nodded, and suddenly heard footsteps at the door again. He grabbed the burden on the table, knelt on the ground, and immediately shed two tears, "When my wife was leaving, I was most worried about you, the eldest girl. This winter clothes are only for you. You did it alone."

Hearing this, although she knew it was an excuse, Zhiyin couldn't help feeling really sad.

She wiped away her tears, glanced at the maid who walked in on purpose, and said apologetically, "I made you laugh."

The palace maid sighed twice and said: "It's almost time, it will take a while to go back, don't break the rules."

Zhiyin nodded, the court lady pretended to be generous and went out first, Zhiyin reached out to grab the bundle in Ji Chu's hand, her voice was so small that she couldn't hear her clearly, "Let father not stand in line too early, the Holy Majesty is going to add another Prince."

Ji Chu looked up at Zhiyin, only to see that she nodded slightly, and Ji Chu hummed, "Miss, take care."

Zhiyin didn't even look at him, turned around and walked out the door, took the arm of the maid who was waiting for her at the door, and said, "Let's go back."

Her father finally became enlightened, and Zhiyin took a deep breath, her court days should come to an end.

By the time Zhen Yingjia received her daughter's message, it was already late autumn.After hearing what Zhiyin told him, Zhen Yingjia couldn't help feeling a little bit, there were two daughters and a young son at home, and it became more and more innocent to be raised by his side.But the eldest daughter, who is only ten years old, has already matured to this point after entering the palace for only one year.

Listen to what she said?

The emperor is in good health and can live for many years; in addition, although the emperor intends to abolish the crown prince, he does not know who will be the next one.

Zhen Yingjia sighed, wishing she could take her daughter back now.

This afternoon, Zhen Yingjia finished last year's paper and took the things to ask Li Daji to comment. Unexpectedly, she ran into Kang He on the way back.

Coincidentally, Kang He also received news from Jingli that Zhiyin had been asked to work in the princess's house.Kang He was very satisfied, and planned to take this opportunity to reveal a little about his life experience to Zhen Yingjia.

The two met on the small road, and then they went up the mountain at the same time, looking for a quiet place to talk.

After walking two steps, Zhen Yingjia realized that Kang He also had something to tell him. Zhen Yingjia raised her eyebrows and decided to put her plan on hold and listen to what Kang He had to say.

"You know," Kang He hesitated, "Our family also has some relationship in the capital."

Zhen Yingjia nodded, motioning for him to continue talking.

"En." Kang He paused, thinking that it was not a good idea to conceal his identity earlier, especially since he already knew Zhen Yingjia's identity, and he wanted to recruit this person to help him.

Would Zhen Yingjia think he was insincere?

Kang He calmed down for a while, but he hesitated before speaking, "My mother just... knows the Crown Princess very well, Miss Zhen has gone to the Crown Princess's room."

Kang He nodded as he spoke, thinking that it would be good to say a little bit.

So after he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhen Yingjia from the corner of his eye, but saw that Zhen Yingjia had no surprised expression.Little did he know that Zhen Yingjia was confirming his guess.

So Kang He is really the Fifth Prince?

How likely is it that the fifth prince will succeed to the throne in the future?However, among the several princes, this one is the one Zhen Yingjia is most familiar with. Even if there is only one possibility, Zhen Yingjia plans to give him ten points.

But now, Zhen Yingjia decided to show that she is calm in handling things, has a superior IQ, and also has a good personal relationship with the emperor, so she will be a very good helper.

There was no one on the path, so Zhen Yingjia turned her head and smiled at Kang He, "The first day I came to the academy, you must have known that my wife is the granddaughter of the head of the mountain."

Kang He nodded, only to hear Zhen Yingjia say again: "That day I felt that you were different from ordinary people, but later...of course they didn't say anything, it was all my insinuations."

Kang He was relieved, and said: "I didn't hide it sincerely that day, it's just..."

Zhen Yingjia thoughtfully agreed, and looked at Kang He with a look of "I understand", "The Holy One came to Jiangnan before he became the throne, and he also kept his name incognito."

Kang He breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I didn't see that you already knew."

Zhen Yingjia laughed twice, and subconsciously flipped through his golden fingers. Sure enough, the anonymous user had disappeared, and several comments that belonged to the anonymous user had already been tagged with Kang He's name.

It's just a pity that Zhen Yingjia's golden finger has to be upgraded to level three to view other people's homepages. Otherwise, Zhen Yingjia would click on Kang He's name and see the first sentence of his profile written like this.

Kang He, the eldest son of the crown prince, was born on the third day of August in the third year of Jianyuan.

Although the misunderstanding continued to exist, the relationship between the two became better after a "confession".

After the winter solstice, when Kang He returned to the capital for the New Year, Zhen Yingjia even sent him away from Jinling City and sent him back.

The Chinese New Year will soon be over, because the Zhen family has just passed away the mistress, this year is very gloomy compared to usual, but soon Zhen Yingjia has no time to worry about it.

When he went to the academy last year, Li Daji carefully explained to him the entire process of the imperial examination, where the test was for real talent and learning, and where there was a chance to do something wrong.

Of course, Zhen Yingjia guessed what he could do. As an old pedant, Li Daji paid attention to his solid foundation, and in his opinion, he was already cheating if he could help Zhen Yingjia collect exam questions over the years.

Last year, Zhen Yingjia knew that because the township examination was to be held in August this year, the county examination and hospital examination would be advanced, and now it is.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a notice was posted in the county government, and the county examination was on the fifteenth day of the second lunar month.

Zhen Yingjia slapped her thigh, and finally came!

I just don't know if Kang He can come back before the imperial examination.After the two confessed, Kang He also said that he planned to take the imperial examination because he wanted to gain favor and presence among scholars.

Zhen Yingjia fully understands this, the emotional investment in advance.

After he showed his request for the throne, the group of scholars who had taken the imperial examination with him would be the best guide for public opinion, and even when he became emperor, these officials who were regarded as the emperor's classmates would be the best. good helper.

Zhen Yingjia thought about it and decided to wait for Kang He to come back and sign up together.

Because there is a clause in the registration materials for the county examination that five students are required to guarantee each other, if his name appears on the same guarantee letter as the future emperor.

Thinking about it is also a happy event to be included in the history books.
