Chapter 98 Good-looking
"Don't underestimate yourself! You are really amazing!" Xie Ruojiao praised.
Great at writing articles.
She is also very beautiful.
He is neither arrogant nor impatient.
Moreover, although he is a weak scholar, he is like a sharp sword.
The scene when she first met him left a very deep impression on Xie Ruojiao.
Song Heng is simply a treasure.
Every time I see him, I feel like he is shining.
It looks so beautiful!
Xie Ruojiao then stayed in the library to watch them compile articles...
…
Song Heng was a little uncomfortable.
Anyone would feel uncomfortable if there is someone sitting in front of them with their hands on their face and staring at them.
Fortunately...
When he writes, he always forgets about himself and the world.
I was quickly immersed in it.
Mr. Zhou, a scholar standing aside, sat upright, writing every stroke with extreme precision.
With Xie Ruojiao watching over him, in order to perform better, he even wrote his article with more literary talent than usual.
Some time passed.
There was a knock on the door, and Feicui said loudly, "The Crown Prince's Consort is here!"
Everyone in the room stood up, opened the door and saluted.
Jiang Rong and Chi Moyan walked in.
"Sister-in-law, Wanjuan Study is so fun. Can I come here often in the future?" As soon as Xie Ruojiao saw Jiang Rong, she walked up to her quickly, hugged her arm and acted coquettishly.
"Of course." Jiang Rong smiled, "Why are you here?"
"I watch Song Heng...they write articles, they are very talented and amazing!" Xie Ruojiao's cheeks blushed slightly.
Qiu Niang: Where is the word "men"? You didn't even look at the old scholar.
Jiang Rong knew that Xie Ruojiao had always been interested in articles and poems.
He often attended poetry and literary gatherings in Beijing.
I can't write, but I enjoy reading other people's articles.
"Indeed, Song Heng and Zhou Xiucai's articles are both very well written." Jiang Rong responded, turned to look at Song Heng and the others and said:
"I heard from Qiu Niang that the preparations for the second volume are almost ready?"
"Yes." Mr. Zhou said respectfully, "We just need to wait for the first volume of Qianqiu's work before we can publish it."
"The first volume has been delivered." Jiang Rong said.
Chi Moyan behind him immediately stepped forward and handed the book in his hand to Song Heng.
Mr. Zhou immediately went over to watch and was amazed:
"This... is a comment on the essays of the candidates! They are among the top five candidates in last year's provincial examination. What a great talent!"
Both Mr. Zhou and Song Heng were attracted by the first volume.
Chi Moyan was more shocked than them.
Because this volume...
He was the one grinding ink and watching what Jiang Rong had just written.
The teacher is amazing! It turns out that these wonderful articles are written effortlessly.
Song Heng and Mr. Zhou both decided to take a good look at the first volume later. At this time, they first presented the articles they had prepared for the second volume.
Song Heng put the article about Jinxiu Villa on top and said to Jiang Rong, "Princess, can you take a look at this one?"
It is the Crown Princess who decides what kind of articles to include.
If she disagrees...
Then this article obviously cannot be published...
Song Heng felt a little nervous because he understood what Mr. Zhou said.
He was alone, with nothing but his own life and death. He was not afraid of the Minister of Revenue, because he was not afraid of life and death.
But big forces have many things to consider, not just their own preferences, and it is impossible to make enemies everywhere...
He now gradually understood the game between the noble families.
Jiang Rong picked up the top article and read it from beginning to end, with a calm expression, "It's well written. When you encounter similar things in the future, write them down. This article will be the first chapter of the next volume!"
"Yes!" Song Heng's heart surged. The teacher thought the same as he did!
"There will be another article in the next volume...written by Chi Moyan." Jiang Rong said again.
Mr. Zhou said respectfully, "Yes!"
He took the article from Chi Moyan attentively, and when he took a look at it, his expression was filled with surprise.
This young man, who usually looks gentle and kind, is actually... a crazy person?
…
The officials in the Ministry of Travel were divided into two factions.
Half of them are newly-appointed Jinshi. After a period of training here, they will be promoted and transferred soon.
This was a transit point for them when they first arrived and used it to familiarize themselves with court affairs.
The other half are the playboys sent by major families.
Get a leisurely job to support your retirement.
Because the job of the Pedestrian Department is simple, easy to handle, and respectable...
All those who can afford to retire here are famous families in Beijing.
The chief of the Pedestrian Department treated this group of "subordinates" with great respect, as if they were worshipping ancestors, especially the leader of the retirement team, the Prince of the Northern King, who could come and go as he pleased.
"Sir, the Prince of the Northern King has arrived!" the attendant reported.
The chief officer hurried over and saluted, "Greetings, Prince Beiwang!"
"What does Mr. Zhao want to see me about?" Xie Lingxi asked with a raised eyebrow.
Chief Zhao never dared to assign him any tasks; all assignments were given by His Majesty.
"Your Majesty has ordered that the prince of Yuesha Kingdom in the Western Regions will come to the capital tomorrow. You, the crown prince, and the Minister of Rites will receive him together." Chief Zhao said carefully:
"Because you were the one who delivered the decree to confer the title of Prince of Yuesha last year. You are the only one in the capital who has seen Prince Yuesha... Your Majesty probably meant that it would be more convenient if you had an acquaintance..."
There are countless small countries in the Western Regions, with two major countries being the main ones.
One of them, Yuesha Kingdom, had a new royal family in the early years because a minister usurped the throne.
Unexpectedly, there was still a survivor of the old royal family. He came back last year. As soon as he came to power, he submitted a letter of submission to Daxia and requested a title.
Seeing that he was so sensible, the Emperor of Daxia issued an edict to send Xie Lingxi to the Western Regions to enthrone the new King Yuesha.
According to the rules of Daxia's vassal states, the vassal king had to go to the capital in person to express his gratitude in the second year after being enthroned.
From now on, there is no need to come in person, just send envoys to deliver tribute on time every year.
The prince's visit to the capital to express gratitude was a very important diplomatic event.
A month earlier, the Ministry of Rites had already been preparing...
The emperor was very concerned about his reputation and demanded that this matter be done in a grand manner to demonstrate the style of a great country.
"I see." Xie Lingxi replied casually.
Chief Zhao was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Don't worry, my lord. The Crown Prince will be the main person tomorrow, so you don't need to do anything."
As they were talking, a eunuch called out, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
Chief Zhao hurried out to greet him...
"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! I wonder if the Crown Prince has any business coming to the Ministry of Travel, but what is it?" Chief Officer Zhao asked respectfully.
Murong Shicheng ignored him and walked straight towards Xie Lingxi, speaking in a very impolite tone:
"How can a playboy take on such an important task as receiving the prince? My father always respects your Northern Prince's Mansion for your father's sake, but you must know your place. Tomorrow, you should find a reason not to go, so as not to embarrass Da Xia!"
The last time Xie Lingxi dealt with Xun He, he slapped him in the face, and he has been holding a grudge against him ever since.
Waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge.
