Emperor Liang narrowed his eyes slightly.
"oh?"
"That's quite a coincidence."
"Let him in!"
Under the leadership of Xue Hai, Zhou Nan lowered his head firmly and followed carefully.
"Weak minister Zhou Nan, pay homage to the Holy One!"
This was Zhou Nan's first time to face the Holy Spirit alone. His hands and feet were cold and his heart was pounding. He could only stare straight at the floor in front of him in embarrassment.
Is this overwhelming sense of oppression the majesty of being an emperor?
Zhou Nan's breathing was a little rapid, and he almost fainted. He took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down his uneasy heart.
"Zhou Nan, you came just in time."
"The fourth child just said that you and Zhao Xuanling should go to the palace to do a small test."
"Whoever can successfully pass will be selected as the Imperial Envoy!"
The fourth child...Prince Rong?
Zhou Nan raised his head in fear and saw Song Huan sitting beside him with a smile on his face.
Zhou Nan secretly thought it was bad!
Oops!
How could it be such a coincidence that I bumped into Prince Rong, whom I least wanted to meet here!
Prince Rong suddenly appeared here. Could it be that he made a special trip to sue himself in front of Emperor Liang?
That’s too vindictive!
Seeing Zhou Nan's expression as if he had eaten an Ollie, Song Huan found it a little funny.
He raised his eyebrows pretending to be surprised: "Master Zhou, why do you keep staring at me?"
"Have you ever seen this king outside?"
"No!" Zhou Nan immediately shook his head and denied, "I've never seen it before, this is the first time in my life!"
No matter what kind of medicine Prince Rong is selling in his gourd, let’s deny it first!
Song Huan smiled lightly and said, "I have heard that Mr. Zhou has great foresight and talent."
"When I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation!"
Zhou Nan was extremely confused and couldn't figure out what this Prince Rong wanted to do!
But in front of Emperor Liang, he did not dare to make mistakes easily, so he still said bravely: "Your Highness, you are joking."
"Compared to you, Wei Chen is really insignificant."
"No, no, no," Song Huan shook his head quickly, "Why is Mr. Zhou so humble?"
"After today's test, Mr. Zhou will be the Imperial Envoy Minister personally appointed by the Holy Emperor."
"Such honors and treatment are not something ordinary courtiers can get casually!"
When he heard that Emperor Liang had summoned him to be an imperial envoy, Zhou Nan felt ecstatic in his heart.
only……
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, what exactly does this 'test' mean?"
Hasn’t the Wenyuan Pavilion’s assessment passed?
What are you going to test now?
Emperor Liang was about to explain, but saw Xue Hai quietly walking forward.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao Xuanling is here."
Emperor Liang nodded: "It came very quickly."
"Now that you're here, let's bring him forward."
"yes!"
Zhao Xuanling and Wang Shilu had just walked outside the palace gate, but before they could board the carriage back home, they were overtaken by the young eunuch from the royal study.
Knowing that Emperor Liang was going to summon her, Zhao Xuanling was both excited and terrified!
What was exciting was that on his first day in office, he received a separate summons from Emperor Liang.
The scary thing is that he doesn't know the reason why Emperor Liang suddenly summoned him!
Not only was Zhao Xuanling feeling uneasy, but Wang Shilu next to him was also upset when he heard this.
He immediately asked the young eunuch who came to report: "May I ask this father-in-law, what is the reason for your sudden summons?"
"Besides Mr. Zhao, who else was summoned?"
The little eunuch said honestly: "The Holy One seems to have said what kind of test will be conducted."
"In addition to Mr. Zhao, the Holy Master also summoned Mr. Zhou Nanzhou."
Upon hearing that Emperor Liang not only wanted to conduct the test again, but also summoned Zhou Nan, Wang Shilu gasped on the spot and was about to have a heart attack!
Zhao Xuanling was also shocked when he heard this, and started to cry when he spoke.
"Grandpa, what should we do?"
"If His Majesty pursues this matter, will my grandson still come out of the imperial study alive..."
Even though he had prepared for the worst, Zhao Xuanling's legs still trembled when he thought that he would face Emperor Liang.
Wang Shilu Fangcun was in chaos, and he had no other choice but to say to Zhao Xuanling: "We can't delay the meeting with the emperor. You should rush to the imperial study room first. Don't make His Majesty angry again!"
"I will go and invite the Third Prince to see if there is any room for change in this matter!"
Zhao Xuanling said with a sad face: "Grandpa, go to the imperial study room with your grandson!"
"My grandson has never been alone before a saint. He is scared of such a scene!"
Wang Shilu was anxious and annoyed: "I followed you to the Imperial Study Room, how can I think of a way out for you?"
"Besides, Your Majesty is already very angry. If you see me pleading for mercy for you, wouldn't that just add fuel to the fire?"
Zhao Xuanling knew that he could not avoid the disaster, so he could only hang his head in despair: "Grandpa, you must go to find the third prince quickly!"
"My grandson is afraid that he won't be able to hold on for long before he is consecrated..."
"Okay!" Wang Shilu interrupted the other party angrily, "Stop saying some depressing words."
"When you get there, be smart and don't say anything you shouldn't!"
"It depends on how Zhou Nan behaves. You just have to adapt to circumstances."
"Do you understand?"
Zhao Xuanling had tears in her eyes and nodded. There was a tragic feeling in her eyes that the situation was over and she felt like she was dead.
On the way to the imperial study room, Zhao Xuanling's mind went blank, feeling that the road was extremely long.
In the imperial study room.
As soon as Zhao Xuanling entered the palace, his knees softened and he fell to the ground.
"slight……"
"Wei Chen Zhao Xuanling..."
"bye……"
"Goodbye..."
Zhao Xuanling tried his best to finish his words, but his throat was tight and his lips were dry. It seemed like a pair of invisible hands were strangling his neck, preventing him from making any sound no matter what!
Seeing Zhao Xuanling's timid appearance, Song Huan found it funny.
"Father, I didn't expect that Mr. Zhao just now was so impassioned, but he was actually quite introverted!"
Emperor Liang also smiled and said: "Why, am I that scary?"
"You're so shocked that you can't even say a word!"
Zhao Xuanling didn't dare to raise her head to answer, because her mind was full of what Wang Shilu said, "Don't say anything you shouldn't say."
Facing Emperor Liang's teasing, not only did he dare not respond, but he buried his head even lower.
Being unable to get on the stage like this made Emperor Liang's originally good mood suddenly turn into a bad one.
"Fourth, please talk to the two of them."
"Yes!" Song Huan raised his hand and stood up to face Zhou Nan and Zhao Xuanling, "I think the two bachelors should also know that as imperial envoys handling cases abroad, they are the representatives of Emperor Liang."
"Going to peace is not only a state matter for me, Daliang, but also has an inseparable relationship with the Xia Kingdom."
“That’s why the imperial envoy’s talents are particularly important!”
"I called you two here today because I want to do a small test."
"Please, as imperial envoys, please write an edict on behalf of the emperor to An Ning."
"Whoever writes well can serve as an imperial envoy and go to peace!"
