Zhu Houzhao listened carefully to Su Ce's words. The sky gradually darkened, and the afternoon had already passed.
Su Ce lit all the copper lamps hanging on the dead wood above the stone table.
The courtyard was lit up.
Zhu Houzhao was a little dazed. She was so beautiful.
However, he couldn't be bothered to appreciate the beauty of Su Ce's transformation of the small courtyard. His focus was still on Su Ce's analysis.
Zhu Houzhao digested Su Ce's words for a while before asking,""Brother Ce, I will remember your words, but this can only change the situation of the opening and middle system being destroyed.”
Su Ce said softly," One thing at a time. After finishing this one, we can move on to the next. We can't rush it. There's still enough time."”
He couldn't reveal all his plans, and he couldn't tell Zhu Houzhao all his tricks. If Zhu Houzhao didn't handle it properly, he would mess up both things.
He couldn't go to the Imperial Court to instruct Zhu Houzhao, nor was he willing to go to the Imperial Court to get involved in these muddy waters and make himself exhausted.
Why did he tell this to that sloppy fellow?
Was there any use in telling him?
Wei Hongying had been lying on the roof for the entire afternoon. Her body was numb, but her mind was still very active.
I'll find out who that kid is tonight.
In the courtyard, Su Ce looked at Zhu Houzhao meaningfully and sighed,""But this first step is very difficult. To collect the data of the three divisions, ordinary people might not be able to do it!”
Zhu Houzhao patted his chest and said,"Hehe!" Brother Ce, don't worry about this, leave it to me…I mean, leave it to my elders!”
"Really?" Su Ce said 'surprise'. That's great. I didn't expect that Young Master Huang's family had such great power that they could actually get three divisions?”
Zhu Houzhao quickly said," My father has a good relationship with the officials. It's not a secret. It's normal for him to do it."”
Su Ce nodded and said,""Alright, I don't know about this either."
As the moon rose above the willow branches, Zhu Houzhao did not continue to stay in the small courtyard of the ivy. He waved goodbye to Su Ce.
Under the moonlight, Wei Hongying jumped off the roof. For some reason, he felt that something was amiss.
Su Ce found it strange, Zhu Houzhao also found it strange, and the conversation was even stranger.
Would ordinary people talk about state affairs out of boredom? Why would a sickly person share such profound insights with a sloppy kid?
Unknowingly, she had already given Su Ce and Zhu Houzhao good nicknames.
With suspicion, Wei Hongying followed Zhu Houzhao. Her footsteps were light, and her martial arts were superb. The Imperial Army did not notice that someone was following her.
After Zhu Houzhao left Scholarflower Alley, the crowd around him suddenly increased.
This surprised Wei Hongying even more.
Which family's second generation heir was it that made such a grand entrance?
When Zhu Houzhao arrived near the Forbidden City, Wei Hongying was completely shocked.
Forbidden City…Imperial Palace…Crown Prince?!
He was actually the Crown Prince?
Heavens!
This isn't simple. The person Commander Mou asked me to protect actually has such a deep friendship with the Crown Prince?
No, it wasn't a friendship anymore. The sickly man seemed to be giving pointers to the crown prince? The future emperor teacher?
No wonder she always felt that their conversation was a little strange. The strange thing was that Su Ce always had a hidden meaning in his words.
Now, he understood everything.
That smart sickly man probably already knew that the person in front of him was the crown prince of the empire, and the crown prince was still foolish enough to think that the other party did not see through his identity.
Uh.
Wei Hongying was speechless, but at the same time, she started to respect him.
The sickly person was actually using such a method to train the Great Ming Crown Prince and repair the Great Ming Empire's many holes!
No wonder the Crown Prince asked the sickly man if the bodyguards he sent had arrived. No wonder Commander Mou asked me to protect the sickly man.
So it was a transfer order from His Highness the Crown Prince!
Eh, in that case, the reason why my cousin is fine in the Southeast is because the sickly person is secretly planning everything?
In fact, after thinking about it, my cousin's promotion might not have been done by a sickly person!
Hiss!
Wei Hongying sucked in a breath of cold air and thought about many things.
What kind of absurd plot was this? Even opera singers didn't dare to sing like this.
You told the opera singer that there was a small cabinet elder outside the court, and then said that this small cabinet elder was still seriously ill, and that was not enough. Even when he was seriously ill, he still tirelessly taught the Crown Prince…
Oh my god, even those who said that they would sing a big show would not dare to sing. It was too ridiculous!
But now, this scene was happening right before Wei Hongying's eyes. One could imagine the shock in her eyes.
……
When Wei Hongying returned to the roof of the small courtyard with green vines, she realized that the lights in the small courtyard had already been extinguished.
He should be asleep.
Wei Hongying quietly leaped into the courtyard. After confirming that Su Ce was asleep, she tentatively lay down on the rocking chair.
The rocking chair was very comfortable.
He really knew how to enjoy himself!
Then, she glanced at the stone table. The tea on the stone table was still steaming, and the celadon cup was upside down on the plate.
Why was the tea hot?
There were pastries beside the tea.
Wei Hongying hadn't eaten much all day, so she poured herself a pot of tea and secretly chewed on a piece of pastry.
He shouldn't have noticed that a piece of pastry was missing, right?
Wei Hongying naturally didn't know that Su Ce had purposely left all this for her to eat and drink.
Zhu Houzhao had hired such a bodyguard for free. It was not easy to stay on the roof every day. During dinner, Su Ce and Zhu Houzhao ate with relish, and she could only watch from the roof.
……
The capital, Xie Mansion.
This was the courtyard of Xie Qian, the assistant minister of the cabinet.
Ever since his son returned from the Back Mountain Academy, he had been hiding in the study room, as if he had suffered a blow.
Xie Qian was busy with work and did not ask much.
Tonight, he knocked on Xie Pi's study with a coal lamp.
"Father, what's the matter?" Xie Pi said.
Xie Qian smiled and shook his head. Did this year's general exams give you a blow? You're only twenty this year. What else do you want? Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, how many people had been able to pass two imperial examinations in high school at the age of twenty? You can't even accept this blow?"
"Father, it's not because of this." Xie Pi shook his head with a bitter smile.”
"Come and take a look at this batch of lyrics.”
Xie Qian nodded and walked to the armchair to sit down.
"I was originally from the back of the mountain, but I happened to be a former guest.”
"Half a book in the Drunken Dance Sutra Pavilion, sitting in the well and saying that the sky is wide.”
Such a broad mind, such good lyrics!
Xie Qian narrowed his eyes and praised generously,"Good!"
"Alright, alright!"
"So you've been staying in seclusion these days just to write this poem. Good! People say that a sword needs ten years to be sharpened, but my son has only been behind closed doors for a few days, and he can actually sharpen such a rare poem that can be recorded in history.”
"This phrase…"
"I didn't do it," he continued after a pause.”
What?
Xie Qian was speechless.
His old face twitched unconsciously.
