"As you said, you can tell at first glance that you are a man of great ambitions," Ding Yunwen looked Chen Qingxuan up and down. Then his eyes fell on his red face due to nervousness. Seeing him like this, Ding Yunwen couldn't help but curl his lips. He smiled and said, "Why are you afraid of me? I'm not the examiner who examined your paper. I'm not your creditor either."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room laughed, except Chen Qingxuan, who was busy bowing deeply to Ding Yunwen: "I dare not."
"Mr. Chen, if you keep being so polite and keep bowing, I will really get angry," Zhong Mingwei's eyes were a little heavy. He sat back on the couch. His eyes wandered on Chen Qingxuan's face, then moved away and said to Ding Yunwen. "Sir, Mr. Chen is thin-skinned and soft-hearted. Please don't tease him anymore."
"You make it sound as if Mr. Chen is a girl who can't stand being teased." Ding Yunwen smiled heartily and asked Chen Qingxuan to pull a stool and sit in front of him. He had a good impression of this handsome young man and asked, "Since you have passed the exam, can you go directly to Beijing to take the exam next spring?"
"Yes, after the New Year, I will go to Beijing," Chen Qingxuan said hurriedly. He didn't dare to look at Ding Yunwen's face, but he couldn't help stealing glances at him again and again. This was the person he admired since he was a child. All these years of studying hard were to catch up with him. At this moment, this person was in front of him, speaking to him so gently. Chen Qingxuan felt that his whole body was light and fluttering. He was obviously very dizzy, but there was no place that was uncomfortable and comfortable. When he spoke again, his voice also floated up, "I am fortunate to meet you today, sir. Qingxuan seems to..."
“Bang!”
Chen Qingxuan bumped his head against Ding Yunwen's, then his body went limp and he collapsed on Ding Yunwen like a noodle.
Pang Yi was startled, then he smiled: "It seems that Mr. Chen is really tired these days. He feels tired after just saying a few words."
Ding Yunwen: "...He seems to have fainted."
Zhong Mingwei: “…”
"Let me see," Gu Changlin frowned and stood up and walked over. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Chen Qingxuan's wrist. After a while, he shook Chen Qingxuan's hand away with a look of disgust, and then stared at the unconscious Chen Qingxuan with even more disgust. "You are a grown man, why are you so excited to see an old man? And he is an old man who looks uglier than me! He is not a beautiful young girl, tut tut tut!"
Ding Yunwen's mouth twitched: "...I am even shabbier than you?"
"Of course not! Anyone with eyesight can see it," Gu Changlin stroked his gray beard, then walked out of the room with his head held high, humming a little tune, "I'll go get some medicine for this blind guy."
"Pang Yi, help Mr. Chen to the side room to rest for a while." Zhong Mingwei looked at Chen Qingxuan with a complicated look.
"Yes, I obey your command." Pang Yi immediately helped Chen Qingxuan to the side room.
…
Chen Qingxuan didn't sleep for long. He woke up in less than half an hour. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Zhong Mingwei sitting in front of the bed reading a book. Zhong Mingwei also saw that he was awake, so he put the book in his hand on the small table beside the bed and looked at Chen Qingxuan with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you are finally awake."
"I...what happened to me?" Chen Qingxuan was still a little dizzy and frowned. He glanced at the "General History of Ancient and Modern Times" on the table and was startled. Then he remembered. He looked at Zhong Mingwei with shame and embarrassment, "Master, I'm so sorry. Maybe I was too tired these days and fainted. Please don't be angry with me."
"It's nothing. I understand your feelings." Zhong Mingwei still smiled, and his smile was very gentle. "I haven't seen the Grand Tutor for nearly two years. When I saw him a few days ago, I was so excited that I almost fainted. What's more, for someone like you who has admired the Grand Tutor since childhood, it's possible that you would be overly excited when you suddenly saw him."
"Grand... Grand Tutor?" Chen Qingxuan was startled. Even though he had guessed Zhong Mingwei's identity early on, he never expected that Zhong Mingwei would mention this to him so openly. For a moment, he was extremely confused. "Master, I... I don't quite understand what you mean."
"You guessed right," Zhong Mingwei looked at him and spoke each word in a soft but clear voice, "I am the prince who was deposed by His Majesty at the beginning of last year."
