Seeing Li Mu appear, Song Huan was stunned for a moment, then joked: "That kid Huo Qi..."
"Are you trapped by a girl again and can't get away?"
Li Mu waved his hands in panic and explained: "No, no, no!"
"Guard Huo just has other tasks, so I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you, His Highness."
"That's why I specifically asked my subordinates to be responsible for guarding His Highness at night."
Song Huan didn't really care whether Huo Qilai came or not, he just smiled lightly and said, "That's all. Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty."
"Shiwei Huo, the iron tree is blooming. He finally found his perfect match."
"How could I, the king, do such an immoral thing as beating a mandarin duck?"
"Weiwei Li, it's the same thing if you come."
"I need you to go to the Minister of Civil Affairs' Mansion to do something for me!"
Li Mu cupped his hands and said, "As your Highness does your bidding!"
"Excuse me, Your Highness, do you want me to send you any important items?"
"Still, do you want to bring the lord servant?"
Song Huan shook his head: "None of them."
"The king needs you to come to the Minister's Mansion..."
"Pretend to be a ghost and scare people!"
Li Mu's pupils trembled slightly, as if he couldn't believe what he just heard.
"Pretending to be a ghost..."
"Scary?"
Could it be that Prince Tangtang Rong summoned him late at night and sent him to the Vice Minister's Mansion specifically just to...
Something so puzzling? !
Song Huan ignored Li Mu's expression of extreme surprise and nodded: "You heard me right, it's just pretending to be a ghost to scare people."
"It won't scare people to death in one breath. It's too easy for him."
"Try to be scared once a day for a year and a half."
"Don't be too anxious!"
Although Song Huan spoke lightly, his expression was serious and he didn't seem to be joking.
Only then did Li Mu realize that Song Huan was really following him!
Unexpectedly, Prince Rong, who has always been strict, has such an unconventional side.
However, the responsibility of the shadow guard is to fulfill the mission. Faced with Song Huan's request, Li Mu immediately nodded.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I know what to do!"
…
It's late at night and everything is silent.
"Master Wang, aren't you going back yet?"
"It's already so late, and we have to go to court early tomorrow!"
In Wenyuan Pavilion, several bachelors had just finished correcting their answer papers and were about to go home.
Seeing that the lights in Wang Shilu's study were still on, several people opened the door and came in to see the situation.
Unexpectedly, it was already so late and Wang Shilu was still working at his desk.
Seeing this scene in front of them, everyone showed expressions of admiration.
Wang Shilu put down his work, looked up at everyone, and said with a smile: "The Wenyuan Pavilion has recently conducted an assessment, and the Holy One attaches great importance to it."
"I just want to finish marking these preliminary examination papers as soon as possible so that I can show them to the Holy One."
"My lords, have you finished marking today's answer sheets?"
Hearing this, one of the bachelors, Xu You, said quickly: "Yes, yes, the correction has been completed!"
"I'm going to get it for Mr. Wang right now!"
Wang Shilu coughed twice on purpose and said, "It's getting late. Sir, please go back and rest early."
"After I read these answer sheets, I sent them to the palace overnight."
"In this way, after tomorrow morning's court meeting, Your Majesty can take a detailed look at it!"
Everyone couldn't help but feel ecstatic when they heard that Wang Shilu was going to take over all the remaining jobs alone.
"In that case, then there is Lord Lao!"
"Master Wang is really a role model for us! He handles things so seriously and meticulously, we admire him!"
After sending everyone away, Wang Shilu locked himself back in the study.
The first thing he did was to find the answer sheet that amazed everyone.
For almost the whole afternoon, this answer sheet was like a burden that followed him everywhere, weighing on Wang Shilu's heart, making him unable to breathe!
He was too eager to know who the person who could answer this perfect answer was!
After finding the answer sheet, Wang Shilu read the content on it carefully.
To be fair, the content written on the answer sheet is indeed surprising every time I look at it.
Even if he has been a bachelor for many years, if he asks himself, Wang Shilu himself cannot write such a perfect answer!
Moreover, what made Wang Shilu even more curious was that the font of this answer sheet looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
But he knew very well that this was definitely not something that his grandson could write!
Driven by strong curiosity, Wang Shilu pointed the obscure part of the answer sheet at the candlelight and read with some difficulty.
Through the thin layer of rice paper on the back of the answer sheet, Wang Shilu finally saw clearly the names of people stamped on the answer sheet.
"No...impossible!"
"How could it be his answer sheet?"
"Isn't he recognized as a mediocre person?"
"How could it be possible to give such a perfect answer!"
Wang Shilu's eyes widened, and the muscles around his eye sockets shook uncontrollably.
He thought he was dazzled and saw the wrong name, so he read it several times without giving up.
However, the fact is better than everything. The moment he finally confirmed the fact, he was already stunned!
This answer sheet is placed at the top of all the answer sheets, which means that the other bachelors have judged that this answer sheet is the first place in this preliminary examination.
However, the third prince clearly had an order not to allow this person to successfully pass the preliminary examination and participate in the palace examination...
Suddenly, as if something suddenly occurred to him, Wang Shilu raised the answer sheets one by one in front of the candlestick to check.
At the end, Wang Shilu couldn't help but frown deeply.
Too much... too much!
He never imagined that his precious grandson's answer sheet would be placed in the second to last position!
Doesn't this mean that in the eyes of other great scholars, my grandson's talent and learning are simply not enough to pass the preliminary examination?
"They are all a bunch of mediocre people!"
"blindness!"
"You know nothing!"
Wang Shilu frowned, took up his grandson's answer sheet, and placed it at the top.
But after some thought, he still placed his grandson's answer sheet in the third position.
As long as he can pass the preliminary examination, the first place position is still a bit too ostentatious.
Wang Shilu flipped through the remaining answer sheets again and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhou Nan's answer sheet was placed in the fifth position.
Fortunately, the substitute that the third prince found for Zhou Nan was quite satisfactory!
If he couldn't pass the preliminary test smoothly, then Zhou Nan could really just go home.
After finishing all this, Wang Shilu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He touched his forehead and found that he had broken out in a cold sweat at some point!
"well……"
"Since I have chosen to cooperate with the Third Prince, I may have to walk this journey on my knees!"
"only hope……"
Having said this, he looked thoughtfully at the neat stack of answer sheets.
"I just hope that God will bless my Wang family and nothing will happen again..."
