Song Luo's illness was bizarre, and his well-being was also bizarre. Once the apricot list was released, he lived up to everyone's expectations and ranked first in the test.

Wen Xuan's name fell to Sun Shan, everyone felt sorry for him, but he himself didn't care, he should eat and sleep every day, and tease Fang Mu'an in his spare time.

Fang Mu'an was terribly miserable when he was teased, and now Mr. Wen has made no secret of his molestation, most likely he is still in front of Song Luo, although there are no earth-shattering big moves, small moves are constant.

Song Luo devoted himself wholeheartedly to the preparation of the exam, Fang Muan felt ashamed, he just pretended not to see it, and after the results were released, he didn't go out to meet people very much except for exam preparation, a re-examination, a palace exam, and he easily dealt with it.

The tribute students who passed the exam breathed a sigh of relief, bought wine and meat and entrusted the boss to prepare a banquet, everyone ate and drank, and got drunk; soon after the grand ceremony was passed on, Song Luo was indeed the first in the first class, and he was directly awarded the Imperial Academy Institute compiled.

The next day, the emperor gave another banquet, and after the banquet, Xinke Scholars were arranged to visit the garden.

Song Luo was still with No. [-] Tanhua at the beginning, but the three of them separated as they walked.

It was evening at this time, and the flowers in the imperial garden were naturally different from those in ordinary people's homes. Song Luo was fascinated by the sight and was in a trance, but someone behind him called out "Zhuangyuanlang!"

Song Luo turned around, and it was Princess Minde who called him.

Princess Minde was dressed in palace attire, all in silk, hairpin and phoenix, white face and red makeup, a little more charming than when she was in men's attire.

Song Luo quickly bowed down and bowed, "See the princess."

Min De smiled slightly, "You really recognize me as the princess, since you know who gave you the gift, why didn't you even reply when you accepted the gift?"

Song Luo took a step back, bowed and bowed again, "Song Luo is an unknown person, how dare he disturb the princess."

Princess Minde didn't worry about it, but instead smiled and said, "I heard that the number one scholar won three yuan, and he was a famous talent in Jizhou since he was a child?"

"The title of genius is praised by the world, and it is the grace of the imperial court to win three yuan."

"Why should the number one scholar be modest? I heard that you have a photographic memory, but I don't know if the rumors are true or not?"

Song Luo bowed and bowed again, although there was a smile on his face, he didn't answer.

Princess Minde saw him bowing and retreating, deliberately keeping the distance away, and she was inevitably depressed, "When I was young, I had a partner who had the same memory as Zhuangyuan Lang. Coincidentally, he Same last name as you."

Song Luo said "Oh?", "The princess' partner, how is it now?"

"He's dead. His father committed the crime of treason and ransacked his entire family."

Song Luo sighed, "Princess's day is sad."

Princess Minde stared at Song Luo's face, and asked with a sneer, "I don't know the name of Zhuangyuan Lang..."

Before the words fell, someone called "Min De" a hundred steps away.

The most surprising thing is Nan Yu's son of heaven, Ouyang Chen who has succeeded to the throne for less than a year.

Last time at the Nanfeng Pavilion, Song Luo hid behind the screen the whole time, and only listened to the announcement with his head bowed during the ceremony of passing on a group of people. He was not sure whether Ouyang Chen recognized who he was.

Both Min De and Song Luo bowed down, Ouyang Chen said to Song Luo calmly, and personally stepped forward to help Min De, "Why did you come into the palace today?"

"I heard that Brother Huang ordered to let the Shinke Scholars visit the garden, so I'll join in the fun."

Ouyang Chen had a smile on his face, and he was talking to Min De, but he only looked at Song Luo, "Jinshi are visiting the garden, why are you here to join in the fun?"

Princess Minde shook Ouyang Chen's hand, "Brother, are you blaming me for not being polite? I came here to inquire about General Duan Hong because I heard that Zhuangyuan Lang was born in Jizhou."

Ouyang Chen chuckled, "Then did you ask?"

"The number one scholar has not had time to answer me, brother Huang, you came here."

Song Luo was listening to the two coming and going, just lowering his head and pretending to be dumb, but Ouyang Chen suddenly turned to him, "Do Song Qing and General Duan Hong know each other?"

As soon as the words were asked, Princess Minde also looked curious.

Song Luo didn't want to hide it, "I share the same interests with General Duan Hong and become brothers of the opposite sex."

Min De clicked his tongue, "Ah? You are a frail scholar, and Duan Hong is a border guard. Although you are all in Jizhou, one is in Pingcheng and the other is in the border. He is ten years older than you. What are your interests? Compatible?"

Song Luo glanced at Ouyang Chen, bowed his head and replied, "I have been taken in by His Highness Prince Ji since I was a child. General Duan Hong has been a frequent visitor to Prince Ji's Mansion since he was sent to guard the border of Jizhou a few years ago."

Princess Minde nodded and said "So that's the case", but Ouyang Chen looked at Song Luo with deep meaning in his eyes.

"Min De, go see your mother, I have something to say to Song Qing."

Ouyang Chen used an undeniable tone as soon as he opened his mouth. Although Princess Min De was unwilling, she did not dare to resist the order. She gave Song Luo a mournful look, then turned and left.

Song Luo kept his head down from beginning to end.

Ouyang Chen's appearance is very gentle, without a bit of arrogance, but still few people dare to look at him.

"Song Qing, you come with me."

Song Luo dared not go, and followed behind Ouyang Chen step by step, all the way to the South Study Room.

Ouyang Chen pushed away the idlers and others, and didn't mention giving Song Luo a seat, but let him kneel down.

"From the township examination, general examination, to palace examination, all examination papers are graded anonymously, otherwise Song Qing would never have made it to where she is today."

Song Luo bowed his head and knocked on the floor, "The emperor's grace is mighty."

With a humble and respectful attitude, but not in awe, Ouyang Chen gradually showed a faint smile in his eyes, "Raise your head."

Only then did Song Luo straighten up the upper half of his body.

The two looked at each other silently, and after a while, Ouyang Chen laughed and teased, "I heard that King Ji is going to rebel, isn't Song Qing a spy sent by Uncle Nine Emperors to the capital?"

Song Luo didn't blink, and said calmly, "His Royal Highness Ji really wants to rebel, and this minister is indeed a spy sent by His Royal Highness Ji to the capital."

Ouyang Chen was originally joking, but he never expected Song Luo to answer like that, the smile froze on his face, and his expression became very funny.

"What did you say?"

Song Luoyun calmly repeated what he said just now.

Ouyang Chen frowned, sharpness appeared in his eyes for the first time, "Do you know what the charge is for framing the prince by talking nonsense?"

Song Luo kowtowed, "everything I said is true. The king of Ji has had the heart of rebellion for a long time. The number of government soldiers reported to the Ministry of War is only more than 10, but there are actually [-]; General Duan Hong's border guards Army, Ming Pao also has more than [-] people, but the number of non-staffed Duan Family Army is more than [-]."

Although it is no secret that King Ji secretly raised soldiers and bought horses, no one dared to blatantly reveal these figures.

Ouyang Chen looked down at Song Luo with disbelief on his face, "Uncle Nine Emperors sent you to Beijing to show off your might with me?"

Song Luo's expression was calm, so simple that no emotion could be seen, "The king of the border vassals kept soldiers and horses privately, which is a serious crime against the nobles and the vassals. How could His Royal Highness King Ji order his subordinates and the emperor to show off their power?"

Ouyang Chen smiled instead of anger, "According to what you said, Uncle Nine Emperors has a large army in his hands and has planned for many years. When is he going to attack me?"

"If Bei Qiong hadn't gone south to cause chaos and the former emperor died suddenly, the world would have been in chaos at this moment."

"The grievances between father and uncle Jiuhuang ten years ago... I also know something."

Song Luo's knees were in pain, so he had to support the ground with his hands, "The emperor succeeded to the throne in a hurry, which disrupted His Highness King Ji's plan. I will choose the side of the Qing emperor and win the world."

Ouyang Chen finally told Song Luo to get up, and gave him a seat casually, "Song Qing has been in Prince Ji's Mansion all these years, has Nine Emperor Uncle ever treated you badly?"

Song Luo had already sat down on his seat, but when he heard this sentence, he knelt back again, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Ji has treated me as much as a mountain, and has never treated me badly."

"Since Uncle Jiuhuang's kindness to you is as great as a mountain, why are you instigating Uncle Jiuhuang to plot against me in front of me? What is your intention?"

Song Luo raised his head and glanced at Ouyang Chen, "The time for the emperor to succeed to the throne is still short, but I know that the emperor is a benevolent and wise lord with the world in mind. The change of the tax system in the first amnesty of the new emperor is a wise and good strategy to worry about the country and benefit the people. If the emperor It is truly a blessing for all people to be able to turn hostility into friendship with His Royal Highness King Ji and save me from a turmoil in Nanyu."

"I asked you what your intentions were, but you talked about him in a nonchalant manner. You have been favored by Uncle Nine Emperors for many years, and you turned against him in a second thought. How can you make me believe you?"

Song Luo still had a smile on his face, but there was faint sadness in his smile, "Private ministers are not loyal, and loyal ministers are not selfish. I believe in the emperor, and I believe in the King Ji ten years ago. Just like father and brother; when it comes to personal enmity, I and the emperor do not share the sky; but a gentleman should not be swayed by his own personal feelings and enmity."

"Stand up and let me take a closer look at you."

Song Luo stood up in response, and let Ouyang Chen look him over from head to toe, "I have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, but it is up to the emperor to deal with it."

Only then did Ouyang Chen startle, "You are...you are the old son of Grand Master Song, a little child prodigy named Song Zhuo?"

Song Luo's eyes were sore, he plopped and knelt on the ground again, "It was His Royal Highness Li Daitao who saved my life back then."

Ouyang Chen felt desolate in his heart, "What happened to the Song family and the Bai family ten years ago... I am also very sad. Due to the face of the late emperor, you can't recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors for the time being."

"The emperor does not pursue the crime of deceiving the king, and the minister is very fortunate."

"I am a few years older than the younger ones of you, and I have never read and played with you, so it is better for Min De to be close to you... Did she recognize you just now, and that's why she came to talk to you?"

Song Luo knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply told the truth, "Princess indeed doubts my identity, but I haven't admitted it yet."

Ouyang Chen got off the dragon chair and walked in front of Song Luo, "I will have someone verify your words one by one. If your identity and your reports are true, I will not hold you accountable for uttering wild words." , and will give you the status of Commander Ming."
