When the people who were watching on the street saw this group of people, they all retreated to both sides. Even the students at the door stopped and stood with their breath. Until the team of people slowly arrived at the gate of the Gongyuan, someone whispered in a low voice: "Who are these?"

"It looks like it's from the Duwei Mansion...?                                                                                                                        

"oh……"

"So majestic!"

My hand holding the cotton coat suddenly grabbed it, because in the middle of that team, I saw Liu Qinghan!

Unlike in Jixian Hall, today he was not wearing a loose and comfortable long gown, but a solemn and neat black horseback riding suit. The navy blue belt was tied tightly, and the first buckle was carefully buckled to the first one, which made him look more and more handsome and strong; his head was tied up high, revealing his clean forehead and clear-cut jaw. Coupled with his dark skin and rock-like temperament, he was quite majestic.

When I met those clear eyes, my heart seemed to be hit hard, and the cotton coat fell from my hand.

The student standing in front of me immediately said "ah" and he was turning over from the horse's back. He turned his head to look at me when he heard the sound, and was stunned for a moment.

My eyes were facing each other, and my face became hot, and I hurriedly leaned over and picked up the cotton coat and stuffed it to the student. At this time, I heard footsteps coming from the tribute courtyard behind me, and a voice sounded with a sneer.

"I thought it was someone and came with great fanfare. It turned out to be Lord Liu."

The voice was frivolous, but also a hint of sarcasm. I frowned and turned around and saw several officials walking out of the tribute courtyard. The young man in the central government, in gorgeous clothes, looked quite handsome, but his eyes were a bit weird. When he looked closely, he looked like a pair of snake eyes. The feeling of staring at people seemed to be hunting, which made people feel uncomfortable.

I've never seen him before, but I just saw that he didn't seem very friendly to Qinghan. Instead, Liu Qinghan held the whip in his back hand and bowed to him: "Mr. Ouyang."

Lord Ouyang? I frowned slightly. Could it be Shen Gongyi's adopted son, Ouyang Yu, the Minister of Rites who has been soaring in the court in the past two years?

Although he was Shen Gongyi's adopted son, he seemed to be like his own son. He learned his arrogant expression by 100% and walked down the steps step by step with his hands behind his back, and said leisurely: "Why didn't Lord Liu accompany the eldest princess out for a trip today, and ran to the tribute court? If he annoyed the eldest princess and affected his career, it would be more than worth the loss."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the other officials who came out with him laughed meaningfully.

Everyone around him looked at Qinghan with a hint of contempt, his face dark, and he couldn't tell anything, but his ear tips were red.

On the surface, he and Pei Yuanzhen had no direct relationship, but when Pei Yuanzhen followed him every day, the people in the palace would have passed messages, and people like him and the eldest princess were even easier to talk about. It was inevitable that the more they spread, the more they were spread, the more unpleasant it became. From Ouyang Yu, he was already a person who relied on the princess to take power.

In fact, his career seems easy on the surface, but it is really harder. Even this light chariot commander sounds nice and does not have a real position. In the eyes of outsiders, he is just a leisure lord who depends on the princess.

Liu Qinghan was silent for a long time before speaking, and his voice was calm: "Mr. Ouyang was joking. It was the emperor who ordered the officials to come to supervise the examination room."

Ouyang Yu sneered: "Oh, it turns out that you were asking you to come to the door..."

"Mr. Ouyang, when he comes down, he is not just a guardian, but also strictly prevents fraud in the examination room and favoritism from officials. These are all the duties of his subordinates."

"Hmph, then Lord Liu, you are so busy."

Several officials around also sneered: "Hold chicken feathers as command arrows."

"It's so vague that the eldest princess couldn't get the title of general."

"Hey, Lord Tian is wrong. He really became a general. How could the eldest princess meet Lord Liu every day?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Then Lord Liu should watch it out, don't put any irrelevant idle people in there, cats and dogs, or - the eldest princess will not be able to explain to the emperor."

“…”

Liu Qinghan stood under the steps, holding the horse whip and exerted force, and blue veins bulged on the back of his hand.

Not only the back of his hand, he gritted his teeth hard, and his face almost twitched. Looking at this, it seemed that these people had not treated him twice, and he had endured it with difficulty. But now, in front of thousands of students, he really couldn't stand it in front of him.

At this moment, the sound of wood snatching the ground came from the gong courtyard. Then, an old and leisurely voice slowly rang out-

"The pen is always passing by, and there are more and more people in my eyes. Someone asked me what happened? The sea of ​​people is wide, and there are storms every day."

With this sound, the old man in a gray robe walked out from inside. He tied his plain belt and was thin and tall. He felt a lull when he wore the robe. He walked out slowly with a cane. His eyes were still dark, but the snow in front of him showed an indescribable tranquility.

Everyone looked up and immediately held their breath.

Fu Badai smiled and said, "This place is so lively."

When Ouyang Yu and his friends saw him, their faces changed and they still honestly bowed: "Sir Fu."

"Sir Fu?!"

When the students below heard these four words, they all raised their heads in shock. His name is not as good as thunder in the Celestial Empire. Compared with the power of the emperor and the power of the high-ranking officials, his spiritual influence on people is truly unparalleled.

All the students said secretly: "He is Grand Secretary Fu? Fu Badai?"

"The sage of Shu!"

"How about his eyes..."

Everyone was talking, but he smiled calmly and said softly: "Qinghan."

"teacher."

"Your Majesty's instructions, don't forget. This time, we are selecting talents for the court, and the truth will be revealed."

"Students know."

The other officials turned pale after listening to Fu Badai's short words, but he waved his sleeves as if nothing had happened, then turned around and walked in, saying as he walked: "Sir, the candidates have already entered the venue for 60% of the time, so come and do the business quickly."

The people looked at each other and said nothing after all, so they could only turn around and walk in.

As soon as the troubled trouble left, the door became quiet. The students had not yet come back to their senses from Fu Badai's calmness. They realized that the commander was his student. They all looked at each other, and some murmured: "He is actually Mr. Fu's student?"

"Why are you related to the princess again?"

"Shh, stop saying it. Have you forgotten what Mr. Fu said just now?"

The discussion gradually calmed down, and he stood in the snow coldly. There was already a thin snow on his shoulders, and the breath was also cold. After a long time, he turned around and seemed to have nothing to give birth to. He sent the people behind him: "You guys guard the door over there; you guys go to the East Street to check, you go up the tower..."

The guards followed the assignment and went to their respective posts. He stood there for a while before slowly turning back, but saw that I had been looking at him without any movement, so he walked over and said calmly: "Is this what the Queen ordered?"

"Uh...yes, yes."

"I'll help you."

After saying that, he came over and joined me to divide cotton coats for the candidates.

Just now, Ouyang Yu had a fight like this, and Fu Badai appeared again. All the candidates looked at him with deep meaning, and his face became paler and paler. Until the cotton coat was assigned, he didn't say a word.

Seeing all the candidates entering the tribute school, he turned around and wanted to leave. I thought about it and said, "Qinghan."

"..." He stagnated: "What else does Lord Yue have?"

"I have something to say to you."

"What's the matter?"

“…”

I really have to speak, but I really don’t know what to say. The little affection between me and him is just there. If I insist on not looking back, there will be nothing. At this moment, looking at his cold eyes, I can’t say anything, and I can only stand in the snow and silently.

The wind blew with snow and fell into my collar, making me shivered slightly. He looked at me, sighed, and said, "Go to the teahouse over there."

"Um."

The gate of the Gongyuan neighed a long time behind him and slowly closed it. Several guards immediately went up to seal the door. He only took a look and turned around with his horse. I followed him, and the two of them walked in the snow, one in front and one behind, slowly towards the teahouse.

The snow is getting more and more urgent.

.

When he arrived at the teahouse, he asked someone to take the horse away. The two of them went to the second floor. The manager's eyes were also practiced in the oil pan. He found a secluded place by the window. Looking at the snow outside, the hot tea was delivered quickly. He poured the tea and put it in front of me: "Drink some quickly."

"Um."

I picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea is good tea, with sweet fragrance and warm drink. The wind and snow outside are not so urgent.

But, I still don't know what to say.

He kept looking out the window, and I could only follow his gaze. His horse was tied to a willow tree downstairs, shaking his head restlessly, as if he was about to break free from the reins and run wildly, and there were shadows of shadow guards around me. I smiled and said, "When did you learn to ride a horse?"

"Study in Xishan."

"Oh... who taught me?"

He turned his head and looked at me, and said, "You don't know."

"..." I froze for a moment, smiled embarrassedly and lowered my head.

Actually, I was just thinking, if it were before, maybe I would fight once, and rush out with him on a horse and leave here. Even if there is a shadow guard watching, even if the emperor will want us at that time, it will fight once.

What if it succeeds?

But now, it is impossible.

I can't leave, but he doesn't want to leave anymore.

The two of them sat silently without saying a word. The wind blew in from the window with snow and fell into the teacup. After a while, the hot tea became gentle. He turned his head to look at my face and reached out his hand on the table, as if he wanted to grab my hand subconsciously, but just reached halfway, but he froze.

"You are not cold anymore?"

“…”

I looked at him and suddenly felt a sourness that came from nowhere.

When he was in the hall, he would still hold my hand, but now, even a little closer is a taboo.

"Qinghan..."
