There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 793|Sixty-eighth dragon scales (seven)

Sixty-eighth dragon scales (seven)

Emperor Zhenzong said with a smile: "She is your mother no matter what, you don't have to like her, it's okay to have some small tricks occasionally, but you have to be careful and don't do anything you can't regret."

After so many years, Emperor Zhenzong has also seen it, and no longer yearns for Empress Cen's return in love, but no matter what, Empress Cen is the biological mother of his son, and he is willing to give her this honor. Speaking of which, Cen Apart from ignoring their father and son, the queen didn't do anything to hurt them. Although emotional injuries are unavoidable, Emperor Zhenzong didn't hate her because of love. You can't say that because you love someone, that one. If people don't respond to you, it's the other person's fault. Love is mutual.

He put his arms around his son's shoulders, rubbed his little head, told him the truth, and finally concluded: "My father also gradually realized this after having you, Long Bao, you You have to understand."

The birth of this child gradually eased his anger, disappointment, and sadness at the time, and healed the wounds in his heart. Now, when he thinks back to those years of unfulfilled requests, it's like a lifetime ago, and he can't even make a fuss.

Linglong nodded obediently. He has always been very obedient in front of Emperor Zhenzong, and he is very good at it. He has given Empress Cen a lot of hardships over the years. Emperor Zhenzong has no idea at all. Fan Banban... Hee hee, who told Fan Banban to hurt him? Seeing that he didn't make too much trouble, he always turned a blind eye and even helped him.

Emperor Zhenzong may not hold grudges, but Fan Sanbing, who has served him for many years, is very dissatisfied with Empress Cen. She just hit it off with Linglong.

After communicating with Emperor Zhenzong, Linglong returned to the East Palace and found that the little prince was actually studying hard. No, neither of them are proficient in poetry and songs, except for eating, drinking, and having fun.

The new maid Tan Rong, although she was promoted from the third-class maid, was not able to serve the prince immediately. To be trained again by the maid next to His highness, you must be familiar with His highness's preferences and habits. , otherwise the service is not good, what else do you need her to do?

Chunyun Chunyan has carefully observed that this newcomer is a dutiful person. Although his personality is gentle but very principled, the two are very satisfied, and their teaching is becoming more and more attentive. If it is summer, sandalwood is not considered Really came to Linglong's side to serve.

She has something in her heart, and she often thinks about how she can change the tragic scene in her previous life. In the final analysis, all the problems lie with Empress Cen. If she can kill Empress Cen, it will be solved naturally. The saint is a benevolent king, and His Royal Highness the Prince Empress Cen was the only one who tried her best to manage the situation. She asked her to disturb this pool of spring water, causing chaos in the world, but she was just a little palace maid. Empress Cen was served by countless palace servants whenever she traveled, and she was not skilled in martial arts. easy.

And she is now the maid of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Even if the assassination is successful, it will also damage His Highness's reputation. After all, although Empress Cen has a bad reputation, she is the biological mother of Her Royal Highness after all. This matter must be considered in the long run.

But...it's only a few months before that happens.

Linglong didn't notice the new palace maid beside her at first, but then she slowly figured out that this maid named Tanrong is more flexible and smart than Chunyun Chunyan, and many times he doesn't need to say , she knew what to do, she did everything very well, and Linglong gradually became accustomed to taking her by her side. I have to say that there is a caring person to serve, and it is really kind of lazy for him to not like to do it himself. liberation.

Although Tan Rong has become the maid of honor of His Royal Highness, her temperament is not at all arrogant, she is still gentle and peaceful, and treats everyone equally. Among the palace maids, the appearance alone is very outstanding. When Emperor Zhenzong saw it for the first time, he suddenly realized one thing: his son has grown up, he is fourteen, and he is also at the age of picking a prince.

It is a rule in the palace that when the prince turns fourteen, he should arrange for a maid to serve. However, this kind of thing is usually arranged by the empress. I hope that Empress Cen will definitely fail. Although he is a biological father, Emperor Zhenzong is still very embarrassed to talk to his son. When he mentioned this matter, he vaguely mentioned the question of the Crown Princess.

He has only one Empress Cen in his life, but he does not ask his own son to do the same. Moreover, Emperor Zhenzong has experienced the hardships of love, and he is determined to be reluctant to raise his son, who is also treated like this. If The son finds the person he loves, and the two love each other. Naturally, he will not stop the young couple from being inseparable for the rest of their lives, but if not... The Emperor Zhenzong will definitely choose some women for his son who are of the highest quality and appearance as his concubine. .

The **** in the Jingshi room has not lived for decades, and I am so excited to be summoned by the saint suddenly! I heard that I want to choose a maid to serve for His Royal Highness. Once the **** knelt on the ground, he almost patted his chest to ensure that His Highness will be satisfied!

So until the maids were sent into the East Palace and stood in line in front of Linglong, he didn't understand what they were doing.

The surname of the chief **** in the Jingshi room was Yang. He was laughing so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. He whispered to Linglong.

Linglong suddenly realized, and immediately looked around in the row of palace maids.

He was born as handsome and noble as the snow and ice of the Tianshan Mountains. Being able to get close to such a prince is a blessing that the maids have cultivated in their lifetimes. Therefore, when they are swept by Linglong's eyes, they can't help but bow their heads in shame, and their hearts are pounding. Jump, for fear of losing the election, you have to show the most beautiful yourself.

Linglong found that Eunuch Yang's vision was very limited. The things he sent were all the kind that are plump and look good at first sight, and their appearance is not bad. It's not.

There is no way, whoever said that the saints don't care about women's **** all these years, His Royal Highness is small, and every four years, a new batch of palace servants is selected for the draft, as long as the appearance is dignified and there are no scars, whoever The family will not send the beautiful daughter into the palace, will it? Linglong's Chunyun Chunyan and several big palace maids can only be said to be beauties, but they are all small beauties, beautiful and gentle, really want to sleep with them, Linglong feels that she has been taken advantage of.

So I didn't even look at the last one.

Emperor Zhenzong doesn't care. He also knows how the maids in the palace look like. His son has been favored by God since he was a child. Regardless of his appearance and qualifications, it is rare in the world. Once the draft came out, many people in Beijing had noble girls with both talents and looks, and they were afraid that his son would not be able to pick someone with eyesight?

Tanrong has been with Linglong for a long time, and I also hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can decide on a marriage as soon as possible, preferably to give birth to the eldest grandson earlier, so as not to give Empress Cen a chance!

But seeing that Linglong doesn't like a single one, she is also a little anxious, who has always been quiet and talkative: "...Why doesn't your Highness leave a single one?"

Linglong glanced at her: "Is it for them or me?"

Tan Rong was speechless for a while, and said with a sense of conscience, just now that group of carefully selected palace maids stood in front of the Prince's Highness, and they were all overshadowed, but what kind of beauty in this world will not pale in comparison to His Highness Woolen cloth? That is tomorrow in the sky and the firefly on the ground, which cannot be compared at all. If His Highness is so picky, he needs to find a beauty that matches his appearance... Tan Rong feels that His Highness is more likely to die alone.

Her expression was undisguised, Linglong laughed out loud, and approached her suddenly, startled Tanrong, she forgot to blink, staring at the extremely beautiful face in front of her, thinking how in the world Does anyone have such a face? When he saw it, his heart sank, and he didn't even dare to look at it, for fear that his soul would also be hooked.

Only listen to His Royal Highness: "If it is you, you can consider one or two."

Tanrong's face suddenly turned red, but Linglong was just teasing her. This little palace maid was only one year older than him, but she was very old on weekdays. Even Chunyun Chunyan said that sandalwood was better than the palace. The tens of years old aunts in Li are all prudent and cautious, and it is rare to see a shy girl like her, and she is quite cute.

Tanrong is not a fool either, knowing that His Highness is playing a prank to scare himself, Fushen said: "Your Highness, don't make fun of slaves."

"How can it be a trick?" Linglong said slowly, "I'm telling the truth, and it takes a beauty like yours to let me take a look."

Even if she doesn't like Empress Cen, Linglong has to admit Empress Cen's beauty back then. Although she is old and pale now, she still has an enduring girl's diamond heart.

Anti-beating, anti-dropping, wear-resistant and hard.

Tanrong stopped talking to Linglong, and went to tidy up the coat he just changed. Linglong sat in front of the desk with a book in front of him. He seemed to be thinking about something, so Tanrong quickly took a thin The shirt came over to put it on him, and he couldn't help but mutter: "Although it's summer, but there are so many ice basins in the East Palace, Your Highness should be careful not to catch a cold. It's not good to wear too few clothes."

He looked down and saw that His Royal Highness the Prince had kicked the shoes away at some point. Tan Rong was helpless and went to find a pair of clean shoes. Linglong stepped on his feet, and suddenly hummed. The shoes on weekdays are quite different, more like the indoor slippers of modern human society.

Made of silk, it is silky, comfortable and light to wear.

"Don't Your Highness dislike the trouble of wearing shoes in the East Palace? The servants thought to remove the back of the bag, so that Your Highness would be comfortable and convenient to wear. Next time, don't go barefoot again, the cold air entered the soles of the feet. You will get sick, but Your Highness can't get sick again. Chunyun Chunyan and her sisters said that when His Highness was young, he was often sick! Now that his body has been taken care of, he must be careful."

This little palace maid usually speaks less and quieter. Once she opens her mouth, she must be reciting non-stop. Linglong feels that her ears are getting calluses. I had no choice but to pretend that I didn't hear it, and let Tan Rong talk about it and continue to read her book.

Tan Rongnian was satisfied, and finally gave Linglong a pot of fruit tea.

Her family owns a wonton stand. Her parents have good craftsmanship, and she has also learned a lot from them. On weekdays, when His Royal Highness went to court, she would study some food in the East Palace. Although the tea was good, it was not suitable for the frail His Royal Highness. It can be seen that His Royal Highness prefers sweetness to tea.

Fortunately, when she was at home, her brother taught her to read and write, which made her stand out among the palace maids, so she had the opportunity to be selected into the East Palace.

There are not many near the East Palace, and there are many bookstores. Tanrong does not want to take the female champion, and has no interest in those scriptures and strategies. She only studies food, pioneering and innovating from the ancient food list, coupled with her ingenuity, so Gradually being valued by Linglong, it can be said that now her position in Linglong's side is almost the same as the two sisters Chunyun Chunyan who have served Linglong for more than ten years. Tanrong is modest and gentle, and Chunyun Chunyan gets along with her. It's also very good. In the entire East Palace, except for the little prince who always kills, no one speaks ill of her.

Linglong took a sip of the sweet and sour fruit tea, and couldn't help but glance at Sandalwood again.

There are many people around him, many of whom can't be named, but this little maid named Tanrong is bold, careful and sincere. He didn't open the back door at all, and they all climbed up by themselves. In order to anger Queen Cen, she deliberately promoted Sandalwood as a maid of honor, but now Linglong is beginning to feel fortunate. Although Chunyun, Chunyan and Xiaolii are also very clever, they are still a lot worse than Sandalwood.

The sandalwood is naturally more aura than others, coupled with the pure soul and no bad intentions, Linglong is also very relieved to use.

Fortunately, most of the palace people around him are honest and responsible, and there is no intrigue. Linglong is very tired of dirty air, but if he feels it, he will definitely drive people out of the East Palace. He can tell Tan Rong one in his heart Ten thousand and ten thousand are good, but in fact, they are not the same: this little palace maid is ingenious and delicious.

This alone is enough for her to become a celebrity next to His Royal Highness.

Little Gai, the **** who served Linglong, was jealous for this, sour. Although there were four big palace ladies and sisters in the past, he still had to take a share of His Royal Highness's daily life. As a result, after the sandalwood came, he only had The use of running errands for His Highness... Xiao Li felt that if it wasn't for sandalwood and a woman, when His Highness went to court, he might have abandoned himself and brought her with him!

However, Xiaolii's hostility to Sandalwood has been maintained for three or four days. Who is it that Sandalwood is really too good at being a man, too caring and gentle? So much so that now Xiaolii has been screaming sweetly from a sip of a sandalwood sister, and she has not started those careful thoughts again.

Actually, he is several years older than Tan Rongke. Shortly after Linglong was born, he was transferred to the East Palace by Fan Sanbing to serve him. Xiao Gai recognized Fan Sanbing as his godfather. Woolen cloth! But this doesn't affect Xiao Li's sister. Anyway, he has a baby face that smiles when he sees people, and no one will think that he is pretending to be tender.

Time passed slowly, summer has passed in a blink of an eye, and early autumn has arrived. Chrysanthemums are in full bloom in the imperial garden, and the ground is golden. There is a special feeling of "all trees and trees are autumn, and the mountains and mountains are only sunset". At the same time, the autumn test will also be held. , This year, His Royal Highness the Prince was appointed as the chief examiner by the saint, with the help of Shangguanqing, the Grand Master, Yuan Ping, Minister of Rites, and Xiao Wenli, the head of the Hanlin Academy.

This is the first time that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has presided over a scientific examination. The officials have no objection, and several important ministers have also tried their best to assist. However, Linglong is busy because of this, and often returns to the East Palace very late. , more and more worried.

She has something... She wants to remind His Royal Highness, but she doesn't know how to speak, so as not to make His Highness suspicious.

Chunyun Chunyan saw that she was working so hard every day and wanted to change shifts with her, but she was rejected by Tanrong. She didn't feel that she was working hard. His Highness slept very late every day. If you really want to say it is hard, it is better for His Highness to work harder. .

This evening, Linglong watched the procedure just presented by the Ministry of Rites in front of the case. Since he took over, he has given several orders. The most important thing is to improve the examination room environment for candidates. He used to rely on the imperial examination. A person who is a high-ranking official, naturally knows how harsh and rudimentary the scientific examination environment is. It is also common for many scholars who are not in good health to directly take the examination. Since it can be improved, why not do it?

This dynasty paid more attention to literature than martial arts, and Emperor Zhenzong obviously valued civil servants more, but Linglong treated them equally, and the military generals in the dynasty were his loyal supporters. In the future, not only the champion of Wen, but also the champion of Wu.

He has consulted the generals on this matter, and Emperor Zhenzong also thinks it is feasible, and it just needs to be implemented.

"...Your Highness?"

Linglong was thinking about something when someone called him next to him, and he responded casually. He didn't wait for someone to speak before turning his attention: "What's the matter?"

Tanrong knelt by the desk. When His Highness was growing up, she was often hungry, so she used to prepare supper and soup before His Highness came back. Linglong liked her thoughtfulness and picked up a piece of it. The pastry was stuffed into his mouth, and after a long while, he couldn't wait for anyone to speak, and then he stopped his movements curiously: "What's wrong? Today is hesitant, not like you."

"Your Highness, don't think the slave maid is stupid, the slave maid wants to ask, like Qiu Wei, can someone cheat?"

Linglong laughed: "Of course there are some people who are not afraid of death, but it doesn't matter. If their personal belongings are found, they will be sacked, and they will not be allowed to take scientific examinations for the next three generations. Normal people will not take risks."

Not to mention going to jail.

Those who are able to participate in the Autumn Festival are basically already famous, but they can't pass the exam. They can go back to their hometown to open a private school and be a gentleman. ?

"Then... will there be an impostor?" Tan Rong asked cautiously, "For example, this person did well in the exam, but found that his name fell down, not because of his lack of talent, but because of his lack of talent. replace..."

"What's the matter with you today?" Linglong laughed, the girl under the lamp was amazingly beautiful, but she was not as dignified and calm as usual, showing a little panic, but she didn't have a style. Chunyun Chunyan is not bad, but it makes people forget that she is only a fifteen-year-old girl. Her calm and calm temperament and innocent and charming appearance are wonderfully combined, making her stand out among the beauties. "You care so much about Qiu Wei? Could it be that someone in your family wants to take the test?"

"Your Highness is right." Perhaps it was Linglong's words that gave Tanrong a hint, she quickly sorted out the remarks in her heart, with a worried look on her face, "The elder brother in the slave's family is going to end this year, so I asked because of my slave. After all these problems, I also ask Your Highness to forgive me."

Linglong looked at the sandalwood and said, "Is your brother born like you?"

Tanrong thought for a while: "...It should be somewhat similar."

He laughed, and went back to continue watching, and said casually: "Don't worry, it's okay if you don't do the two things you are worried about. Whoever dares to reach out, I will chop off his paw."

After speaking, the little palace maid did not respond for a long time, and Linglong glanced at her again, but she looked lost, "Tanrong?"

"Ah? Your Highness? What are your orders?"

Linglong reached out and squeezed her chin and looked around: "What are you thinking about?"

She blushed, but she didn't dare to break free for fear of being disrespectful to His Highness, so she obediently raised her face, only to hear His Highness say, "Look carefully, you are quite beautiful."

Is this a molestation? It's definitely a joke, right? !

But His Royal Highness's tone was so serious, Tanrong didn't know what to do, her face turned red, Linglong admired the perfect person, released her hand, closed the case and put it on the side, stretched out. Waist: "Prepare water."

Tanrong hurriedly got up to call someone, her heart was still beating non-stop. She stood outside, taking a deep breath in the coolness of the early autumn night, and her internal organs were filled with the coolness, and she was calm. Immediately afterwards, she patted her face with both hands, so that the hotness on her face quickly faded, and then she turned around and entered the East Palace.

His Royal Highness is very casual about his own words. If you think about it, she doesn't believe it, which is understandable. After all, she has no basis and no evidence. She casually said that something happened to Qiu Wei. How can I convince His Highness? If something happened to Qiu Wei, His Highness's reputation in the hearts of scholars would definitely drop by a lot, and her brother... She didn't want the past life to happen again.

If this incident can be avoided, it is naturally better to avoid it. Although she resented the Duke Cen's mansion, and wished the Cen family would be cut off from their sons and grandchildren, but if she wanted to exchange His Highness's prestige and brother's future, Tan Rong was unwilling.

She is so sad here, His Highness is so smart, she infers that the dream of the gods will come true?

Little did not know that Linglong believed her at all.

The taste of sandalwood's soul is different from ordinary people, and there must be adventures. She hesitantly asked Qiu Wei if she would cheat and impostor.

Not necessarily both of these things happened, but one of them must be true, just don't know if the fraud is true or if it is an impostor.

The former is easy to solve. Strengthen the body search before the test. If the test questions are leaked, prepare two copies of the test paper, one for use and one for backup. Once pulled up, as for impostors... that's another story.

First of all, the person to be replaced must be a student from a poor family, who will be deceived and deceived, and the person to be replaced must be from an aristocratic family, otherwise where will the ability come from the sky?

As for who it will be... Heh, if he remembers correctly, there will be someone going to participate in the Autumn Festival this year in the family home of his good mother, Duke Cen.

Tanrong thought it was a good cover up, but if she didn't secretly hostile Empress Cen, or if she didn't always imply that Empress Cen was plotting something wrong, he wouldn't think about the Cen family.

Cen Guogong's mansion... After decades of ostentation, it's time to be quiet.
