Chapter 112 Pretending to be confused
After chatting at the door for a while, Sheng Hong invited Zhao Xing to the front hall.
Old Mrs. Sheng and the others chatted with her for a while, and then the women resigned and left.
Zhao Xing looked at Sheng Wei and said reproachfully: "Didn't I tell Chang Wu to go to the East Palace as an errand? Why has there been no movement for so long?"
"Back to Your Highness, Quanzi has been there all the time. He's studying martial arts and doesn't know any rules. I'm teaching him some rules these days, and I'm thinking of taking him to meet His Highness in the next few days." Sheng Wei said and asked Sheng Changwu to come forward to see him.
"Caomin Sheng Changwu pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince." Sheng Changwu saluted.
"No courtesy!" Zhao Xing waved his hand, looked at it and said, "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. From now on, you can stay with Zhong Huai."
"Yes!" Sheng Chang Wu Ying said.
"Zhong Huai." Zhao Xing turned his head and looked at Gu Tingye who was standing beside him, and said, "Let him be a captain first, and you can teach him more usually."
"Yes. "Gu Tingye responded.
Sheng Wei was very happy when he heard this. He knew Gu Tingye's identity and was trusted by the Crown Prince.
With his son by his side, his future will be good.
Zhao Xing looked at Sheng Changfeng, who was standing behind Sheng Hong, and said with a smile: "Is this the second son of Sheng Zhongshi?"
Now Sheng Hong has become a fifth-rank middle school official. Attending to the doctor.
"Back to Your Highness, this is none other than the second son of the minister, Sheng Changfeng." Sheng Hong said, giving Sheng Changfeng a look and motioning for him to come forward to greet him.
"Caomin Sheng Changfeng pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince." There was a hint of excitement in Sheng Changfeng's tone.
"No courtesy." Zhao Xing said with a gentle smile on his face: "Both sons of Sheng Zhongshi are very talented. I heard that this time, both sons of Sheng Zhongshi are going to take part in the examination. ?"
"Exactly, but Chen's two sons are too young and have little talent. They just have to adapt to the atmosphere of the imperial examination. There is no hope that they will pass the exam." Sheng Hong said with a smile.
"Since we are just going to adapt, let Zicheng go alone. I think the second son of Sheng Zhongshi is too young, so I will participate next time." Zhao Xing said lightly.
“Uh…”
The smile on Sheng Hong's face froze. He was just being humble and polite. Who would have thought that Zhao Xing would directly ask Sheng Changfeng to take the exam again next time.
But Sheng Hong is also a good person, and he quickly realized that Sheng Changfeng must have offended Zhao Xing somewhere.
Perhaps this is the purpose of Zhao Xing coming to the Sheng family today.
Not only Sheng Hong, but also the rest of the Sheng family in the hall were stunned.
"Your Highness, common people..."
The one who was most shocked was Sheng Changfeng. He heard Zhao Xing praise him and thought that Zhao Xing would test his talents. He was thinking of reading some poems he had written to Zhao Xing when Zhao Xing opened his mouth. , Unexpectedly, Zhao Xing asked him to take part in the examination next time.
He is only sixteen years old now, it doesn’t matter even if he waits for three years.
However, Zhao Xing's words expressed dissatisfaction with him. Once spread, he might not pass the exam in his life.
When he was about to ask, Sheng Hong quickly interrupted him and said, "Your Highness is absolutely right. Quanzi is too young and needs to settle down at home for a few years."
Although he I don't know where Sheng Changfeng offended Zhao Xing, but Zhao Xing didn't say it directly, obviously he didn't want to say it.
Once asked, Zhao Xing tells the reason, otherwise the consequences will be more serious.
"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded slightly, looked at Sheng Changbai and said, "Ze Cheng takes Gu to go shopping around."
"Your Highness, please come this way." Sheng Changbai said.
Sheng Hong watched Zhao Xing leave and looked back at Sheng Changfeng with eyes full of anger.
“Tell me, what did you do to make His Highness the Crown Prince so angry?”
"Dad, I don't know. I study at home every day and rarely go out. I have never seen His Highness. How could I make His Highness angry?" Sheng Changfeng said with a confused look on his face.
“You traitor!” Sheng Hong slapped him angrily and shouted, “If you hadn’t made His Highness the Crown Prince angry, how could His Highness not let you take part in this examination?”
< br>"Brother Hong!" Sheng Wei quickly stopped Sheng Hong and said, "His Royal Highness is still at home, and this is not the time to teach your son. Chang Bai has gone with His Highness, and maybe His Highness will explain the reason to him. After His Highness leaves, it’s not too late to teach him the reason.” “Hmph!” Sheng Hong snorted and said, “Go back to the room.”
…………
Although the Sheng family residence is not small, many places are inconvenient to take Zhao Xing to.
Sheng Changbai led Zhao Xing to the garden.
As Zhao Xing walked away, he said, "Ze Cheng didn't want to ask Gu why he didn't let your brother take part in the examination?"
"Your Highness must have done this because of what my brother did. What a bastard thing." Sheng Changbai said.
"Your brother is talking nonsense outside." Zhao Xing shook his head slightly and told the story again.
"I am also responsible for this matter. Please punish me, Your Highness!" Sheng Changbai bowed.
"What does it have to do with you?" Zhao Xing waved his hand and said: "This matter is over here, but you tell your father that your brother needs to be disciplined and disciplined. You are a lonely person, Your sister is also Gu's concubine. The Sheng family is deeply involved with Gu, so you should pay attention to everything you say and do. "Yes, I will definitely tell my father and discipline my third brother well," Sheng Changbai said.
"You must be well prepared for this examination. After the imperial examination, I will take over as the prefect of Kaifeng. I will select some people from among the new Jinshi to help me." Zhao Xing warned.
Although he knew that Sheng Changbai had passed the imperial examination this time, but now that he was a variable, it was uncertain whether Sheng Changbai could still pass the exam.
"I will do my best," Sheng Changbai said.
Zhao Xing nodded and saw that Sheng Changbai was hesitant to speak, so he said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Your Highness, my sister Chen has a somewhat indulgent personality, and my father is afraid that she will marry someone in the future. The queen can't serve His Highness well, so she wants a concubine's sister to marry him into the palace," Sheng Changbai said.
Zhao Xing was overjoyed when he heard this. He was originally thinking about how to bring Minglan into the palace, but the Sheng family took the initiative and actually offered to let Minglan dowry.
Wait a minute, is the concubine sister Sheng Changbai talks about his sister, or Ru Lan's sister?
If it was him, it might be Mo Lan.
Although Mo Lan is beautiful, Zhao Xing doesn't like her temperament.
Zhao Xing does not want his future harem to be like those palace fighting dramas, with all kinds of secret fights.
As the crown prince, Zhang Guifen is also his future queen. With Zhang Guifen's character, as long as the other concubines don't act like monsters, she won't do anything to them.
The concubine chosen by his father and Queen Cao for him was Yu Yanran, who had a weak temperament and no scheming.
Although Ru Lan is a bit spoiled and unruly, she is not very scheming.
Zhao Xing also knew that all his concubines in the harem could not be like this, but he could not accept someone like Mo Lan who was too scheming.
Speaking of which, Minglan is not bad at scheming, but Minglan is a smart person. She will use some means to protect herself, but will not harm others.
Mo Lan is one of those people who is scheming but also very stupid.
This is the most troublesome.
He doesn't want to worry about world affairs in the future and worry about harem battles.
"I wonder which sister of yours your father would like to marry?" Zhao Xing asked.
“She is my sixth sister.” Sheng Changbai said.
Zhao Xing had an expression on his face when he heard this, but he was very happy in his heart. He muttered: "I understand what you mean. I can't give her a status for the time being, but when she has a child in the future, I will give it to her. She has the same title.”
Sheng Changbai: “…”
He really wanted to say, Your Highness, you have misunderstood.
Last night, when his grandmother called him over and told him about it, she also told him the purpose of doing so.
Who would have thought that after he said it, Zhao Xing would get the wrong idea and think he was here to get Minglan's status.
