Seeing Aheng's happy face, Xia knew that Aheng's life was not easy. Once Ajian became an official, she would no longer have to go out and show herself in public.
The two sisters-in-law returned home, each thinking about beautiful things.
When Xie Jian came back, he was called on time.
But he did not go in. Instead, he stood at the door and looked at the half moon covered by dark clouds in the sky. His eyes were even colder than the moonlight.
Although the night sky was overcast after the rain, the air around was becoming increasingly refreshing.
When Chen Heng yawned and opened the door to take a look, she saw a figure with a back as straight as a pine tree. He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the night sky. His profile, in the night, was like a young man with a chilling aura that was as cold as ice.
I was slightly stunned.
Xie Jian turned around and their eyes met, and there was warmth in his eyes.
"Ajian, you're back? Why don't you come into the house?" Shen Heng was surprised.
"I want to stay for a while. Where's my sister-in-law?" Xie Jian said as he walked into the house.
Hearing her brother-in-law's voice, Xia came out happily: "Ajian, you have lost weight. Are you hungry? I made you some egg custard."
"I'm just hungry." The three of them rushed into the kitchen together.
The family chatted for a while before Xia returned to her room to settle down.
Chen Heng was also happy for Xie Jian: "Where have you been? I didn't even know you were going to tell your family as soon as you finished the exam."
"Xuan Lang and I were taken away by the Eighth Prince. He did well in the exam as well." Xie Jian saw Aheng looking at him with bright eyes. For some reason, he always felt at ease whenever Aheng looked at him like this.
"Did the Eighth Prince really take the imperial examination?" But princes don't need to take the imperial examination, nor do they need a career in officialdom. When they reach a certain age, they can set up their own court, and even be directly conferred the title of prince.
Xie Jian nodded.
“That’s pretty impressive.”
"If he fails to pass the exam, it will be too unfair to me and the teacher. He has been teaching here for the past month." Xie Jian ate the last bite of the egg custard.
Chen Heng was surprised when she heard this: "Master Lu is also the tutor of the Eighth Prince? It must be you who pulled the strings."
Xie Jian nodded.
Last year, there was a polo match at the Qing Prince's mansion, and a polo match on the palace's ice skating day. The Eighth Prince was quite competitive, so he took the opportunity to talk about the imperial examinations, which led the Eighth Prince to want to compete in the imperial examinations.
At this time, he introduced the Master to the Eighth Prince. For more than a month, the Eighth Prince simply lived in the residence of his uncle, Prince Qing, and came to the Master's place to listen to his lessons every two days.
When he was in the Imperial College, the Eighth Prince had already had a very good impression of him. Now that they were classmates, their relationship was naturally even more different.
This is what he wants.
The two returned to their room. Shen Heng rubbed the towel, wrung it dry, and handed it to Xie Jian: "Since you've been taking the imperial examination for nine days, I'll let you enjoy it for a while."
Xie Jian smiled: "Shouldn't you let me wash my hands first?"
Shen Heng raised an eyebrow and took his hand to the basin: "Is this okay?"
After washing his hands and face, Xie Jian sat on the bed and looked at Chen Heng, then raised his feet.
He was getting more and more demanding, but Chen Heng still helped to pour the foot washing water: "Are you serving me well?" Brat.
The smile in Xie Jian's eyes deepened: "Then after that..."
"Don't even think about it." Chen Heng glared at him and said, "Go pour out the water quickly and go to sleep." Then she went to bed.
