Chapter 139 The Prince Returns to the Capital
By then, not only would he be unable to return to the academy, but it would also be a question whether he would be able to continue taking the imperial examinations in the future.
Having his thoughts exposed, Feng Yi looked at Yue Cong'en coldly, "Mr. Yue, this is none of your business. I advise you to mind your own business."
Yue Cong'en was not afraid of Feng Yi. No matter how arrogant or bold he was, he would not dare to do anything to him openly.
The Great Zhou Kingdom values filial piety. Once a teacher, always a father. If Feng Yi dares to attack his teacher, not only him, but the entire Feng family will probably be implicated.
Even if the emperor turns a blind eye to the Feng family, he will not allow such an inhumane thing to happen.
"He is my student. I will never allow you to bully him while I am in this academy."
Feng Yi's eyes flashed fiercely, "Song Lan, you're lucky. If I see you in the academy next time, I won't let you go so easily."
After he finished speaking, he snorted coldly and turned away.
Song Lan clenched his fists fiercely, his heart filled with anger. Feng Yi and the second branch of the Song family dared to plot against him like this, just bullying their third branch because they had no power and influence.
"Okay, there's no point getting angry. The best thing to do now is to pass the imperial examinations as soon as possible. That way, your enemies will be wary of you."
Yue Cong'en looked at this once proud disciple with a touch of regret. If he had studied hard at the academy, he would have passed the imperial examination and earned the title of scholar in a year at most.
Now, everything depends on him alone.
Before Song Lan left, Yue Cong'en handed him several thick books. After opening them, he found that each book was filled with dense annotations, containing a lot of his own understanding and thoughts.
"Teacher, I can't accept this." This thing is too precious. Other families will treasure it up if they have one. It is a good thing that will benefit future generations. With these, we can be one step ahead of others.
Yue Cong'en waved his hand: "Take it, these are dead objects. I can give them to you and write another one. However, you can only rely on yourself to decide how to go in the future. This can be regarded as fulfilling our master's kindness."
"Yes." Song Lan answered this word with great determination.
Song Ci learned that Song Lan could not return to the academy, which was also within her guess.
Feng Yi had made a careful plan. Even if there were loopholes in the people around him, as long as Feng Yi, the stumbling block, was in the academy, Song Lan would be greatly affected even if he returned.
Aren’t there other academies in Beijing besides this one?
She suddenly thought of someone, Lin Huo.
He is only one or two years younger than his brother, and is very talented. His teacher is also very good, so it is not certain that his brother can study with them.
She did it as soon as she thought of it and hurriedly asked someone to pass the message to Lin Huo.
Unexpectedly, the other party responded quickly and we met in the afternoon.
Song Ci: "This is the situation. I think you might have some way to let my brother study with you."
Lin Huo shook his head, then nodded, confusing the two of them.
"Is it possible or not?"
Lin Huo gave a positive answer, "Yes, and no. It all depends on Brother Song's talent and whether he can impress the teacher."
This was the time for the exam. Song Lan was still confident in his own talent. After thinking it through, he studied day and night to make up for his previous shortcomings.
Now that he is about to be assessed, he is very confident.
"As long as there is a chance, I'm willing to give it a try."
Lin Huo smiled and nodded, "Then I'll go back and explain the situation to the teacher. I'll tell you when I get the news."
"good."
"Thank you for your help." Song Ci's voice was soft and gentle, and Lin Huo felt numb when he heard it.
The tips of his ears were red enough to bleed, and he stammered, "It's no trouble."
Seeing his expression, Song Lan knew that the man in front of him had set his eyes on his sister. He frowned and coughed, "Where is Brother Lin from?"
"Brother Song, just call me Lin Huo. I'm from a village near the capital. My father runs a clinic in the capital."
"Who are the people in your family?"
Song Lan noticed that Lin Huo had a good personality and wanted to find out more.
The young man before me spoke with measured manners and logical thinking. During their conversation, I learned that he was also studying and quite knowledgeable. Thinking that Song Ci would soon be fifteen, marriage would be a matter of time, and if the man before me was interested, my sister would be willing too.
It’s a good choice.
"My mother died early, and there are only me and my father at home." Lin Huo hadn't reacted to why Song Lan suddenly asked these questions. He scratched his head and chose to tell everything.
Song Ci felt a little embarrassed. She realized that her brother seemed to have misunderstood something.
"It's getting late, let's go back first." She interrupted Song Lan first. Lin Huo stood up, said goodbye to the two of them, and left immediately.
After the person left, Song Lan muttered, "He's a nice person."
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Song Ci felt embarrassed.
"This guy likes you. Can't you see it? His eyes were glued to you just now. However, he is well-educated and comes from a simple family. As long as he studies hard and passes the exam, he would be a good match."
A good match? Lin Huo?
Song Ci just thought that Lin Huo was a good person, but never thought about anything else.
In the next few days, at the end of the year and the beginning of spring, the prince returned.
His return this time was extremely glorious. The war on the border was quelled and many people said that he made an indelible contribution. He ate and lived with the soldiers, and even the emperor was very happy.
Song Rouxi was also happy. The prince's return meant that the two of them could finally meet.
She has been feeling uneasy these days, always feeling that she would lose something if she didn't follow the prince to the border. Now that he is back, she must see him to feel completely at ease.
After returning, the prince had to socialize with others, so he walked towards the courtyard outside the capital drunk.
Before the smell of alcohol had time to dissipate, the servants around him quickly discovered the two people hiding in front of them, picked up their swords and followed them.
"Prince!"
He waved his hands and called out in time, "Slow down!"
Song Rouxi came out of the bushes feeling aggrieved, with Ling'er following behind her.
She deliberately wore light clothes, and under the moonlight, she looked even more charming.
A pair of gentle eyes, perhaps filled with lovesickness.
"Why are you here?"
Seeing that the prince did not object, the attendants around him put down their swords. Song Rouxi bravely walked up to him and wiped away her tears. "I haven't seen you for so long, I was really worried."
In one word, all the estrangement and alienation that had existed for some time were wiped out.
Zhou Yongyi softened his heart and coaxed her softly, "It's so late, and you come here alone. Aren't you afraid of danger?"
"I can't care about so many things. I haven't seen you for so long. I am worried about whether you are well, Prince."
Song Rouxi suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart. Although the prince still treated her gently as before, she always felt that something was different.
In the past, whether the prince went out hunting or touring, he would always give me news or gifts prepared by me as soon as he came back. But this time, there was no such thing, nothing at all.
