On the day Cheng Yi returned to Prince An's Mansion, news that Prince An had returned to the capital slowly spread in the capital.
But Cheng Yi hasn't gone out since he returned to the house, and no one else knows him, so it's not easy to visit him rashly.
As for the people who came to visit Prince An, Prince An disappeared.
So even though it was known that Prince An had returned to Beijing, no one had seen him, and no one knew the latest news about him.
As a result, the outside world's curiosity about Prince An became stronger and stronger, and gradually evolved into the fact that almost every corner of the tea house in the capital would talk about him...
"Do you know about Prince An?"
"What's going on? Wait a minute, who is Prince An? Why don't I know this person exists?"
"The only prince in Prince An's palace!"
"Wait a minute, why haven't I heard of it?"
"Me neither, I always thought..."
"Shh! Don't talk nonsense. Your family is not high enough. It's not surprising if you don't know."
"Yes, yes, please explain to Brother An, why did Prince An suddenly appear?"
…
…
Because of the twists and turns of his life experience, the outside world was extremely curious about Prince An Qin, but Cheng Yi still did not leave the house.
Just because he has to prepare for the palace examination.
Although the list of candidates for the general examination has not yet come out, Cheng Yi was confident that he could pass the examination and become a Gongsheng student, so he did not relax after the examination and continued to review.
Prince An felt that Cheng Yi did not need to work so hard because Prince An's status was much higher than that of the number one scholar, so Cheng Yi did not need to work hard at all and could just enjoy life.
Prince An had no desire for Cheng Yicheng to become a talented person. He only wanted him to be healthy and safe. What's more, he didn't mind Cheng Yi becoming a dandy and a womanizer. As long as the family could prosper, Cheng Yi could do whatever he wanted. He's carrying them all.
But seeing Cheng Yi working so hard, Prince An did not stop him, but he was still a little curious and said: "Son, why are you working so hard? You are already the heir, even if you become the number one scholar, you will not be higher than this status. It’s not like dad can’t support you…”
Prince An's question stopped Cheng Yi. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer...
Even after returning to Prince An's Mansion, he still insisted on taking the imperial examination, just because he didn't think too much...
The imperial examination has been going through his life for more than 20 years. At that time, his purpose was to get ahead. Now, even if he does not participate in the imperial examination, he has achieved his original goal, but...
Apart from the imperial examination, he really doesn't know what he wants to do...
The goal he had always wanted to accomplish was suddenly accomplished. To be honest, Cheng Yi was confused for a moment.
"I didn't think too much..." Cheng Yi said softly, "I just think that I have been insisting on this matter for so many years, so I habitually want to finish it..."
"As long as you like it, son," Prince An said nonchalantly, "But please pay attention to your health and don't overdo it."
"I know," Cheng Yi nodded, "Don't worry, dad, I won't do it."
"That's good." Prince An no longer asked about Cheng Yi's participation in the imperial examination, but started to ask about another matter, "Son, when do you plan to hold a banquet? Before dad leaves Beijing, please No matter what, I have to introduce you to everyone and let the major families know you, otherwise what will happen if some unsighted people bully you?"
"Can it be done after the imperial examination..."
"Of course there is no problem! There..." Prince An said this with a slightly subtle tone, "Now that you are so old, do you have a woman you like..."
The implication of Prince An was that it was time to get a wife.
"The woman I like..." Cheng Yi's eyes were blank for a moment, and then flashed with bitterness that even he himself didn't know existed.
"No more..." he murmured.
Prince An was not very thoughtful, nor was he good at these kinds of love affairs, so he did not notice anything was wrong with Cheng Yi, but immediately said: "How about dad arrange your marriage? Of course, those women will definitely let you go first Let’s talk about it after seeing it.”
Originally, it was the mistress who should have done this kind of thing, but Prince An's mansion was very thin. Apart from the prince and the crown prince, the huge Prince An's mansion had no other owners.
And Prince An didn't feel comfortable leaving this matter to others, so he planned to personally handle it. He didn't require the Crown Princess to have a profound background, but only required that she be gentle and virtuous, be able to take care of Cheng Yi, and make Cheng Yi happy.
If Cheng Yi likes it, even if the other party is a peasant girl, Prince An will accept it bravely. Fortunately, Cheng Yi's answer is no.
"No..." Cheng Yi said that he didn't want to think about the marriage for the time being, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he said, "Dad, let's wait until after the palace examination. My mind is not on it at the moment..."
Prince An nodded to express that he understood, but he did not give up. Instead, he planned to start dating women of the right age now. If he met a suitable woman, after the palace examination was over, he could directly arrange for Cheng Yi to meet him.
*
The list of the general examination was released about twenty days after the end of the general examination. Wei Cheyu and Cheng Yi were both on the list and ranked at the top.
Wei Cheyu is the first place - Huiyuan. Compared with Wei Cheyu, Cheng Yi's ranking is slightly inferior, only ranking seventh, but Cheng Yi is already very satisfied.
The people in Prince An's Mansion were also very satisfied. The steward who went to the Grand Master's Mansion to ask for someone and accompanied Prince An to the Wei family first congratulated him: "Congratulations, Crown Prince! You are so awesome. I was a little worried about you before..."
The steward was originally worried that the recognition of relatives would affect Cheng Yi's performance. After all, no matter who encounters these things, it is impossible for his heart not to fluctuate. He will be confused no matter what, so the steward is worried that Cheng Yi will not be able to concentrate during the exam. If you have strong power, you will always think about recognizing your relatives and will not perform well.
Although even if Cheng Yi does not perform well and fails, it will not affect Cheng Yi in any way. After all, Cheng Yi is the son of An Qin. Even if the ranking of the number one scholar is not as high as that of the crown prince, no one can have too many icings on the cake.
The steward grew up in Prince An's Mansion and has long regarded Prince An's Mansion as his home, so he hopes that all the masters in the mansion can live a good life.
And even though Cheng Yi didn't grow up in the capital, even though he didn't receive an elite education, he was still so promising, making people feel that he was worthy of being Prince An's son.
Not only did the steward feel that he had a long face, but Prince An also felt that he had a very long face.
Prince An received the news that Cheng Yi was admitted to the tribute service in the palace. Although the Holy One knew that the reason why he returned to Beijing this time was to recognize his relatives, the Holy One exempted him from going to the palace to attend court every day, so that he could stay in the palace all day to accompany his relatives and children.
But despite this, Prince An would still go to the palace once every ten days to meet with the Holy One and discuss border issues with the Holy One.
When he left the palace, he immediately heard the good news from his servants.
"Really?!" Prince An said with joy, "Let's go! Go back to the house immediately!"
Prince An actually had no hope for Cheng Yi to take the test. He had the same mentality as the steward, thinking that Cheng Yi would be affected, but he didn't expect that he won and ranked very well, which really made him proud.
Although no matter what happened to Cheng Yi, Prince An loved him very much. After all, he was his only son. However, because Cheng Yi was so progressive, Prince An became more proud than just loving him. He wished that the whole world would know who Cheng Yi was. his son.
When Prince An returned to his residence, he found out that Cheng Yi had gone to the Wei family. He immediately turned the carriage back towards the Wei family.
When Prince An arrived at the Wei family, Cheng Yi was preparing to go out with Wei Che, Jade Stone Kaishan, Wei Zhenzhen and the others. This was the first time Cheng Yi went out after returning to Prince An's residence.
As a group of them were walking out the door, they met Prince An.
Cheng Yi first said: "Dad, why are you here?"
"It's such a big happy event, why don't dad come over immediately!" Prince An grinned, "My son, are you going out now?"
Only then did Prince An discover the existence of Shi Kaishan, "This is?"
Seeing Prince An's attention falling on him, Shi Kaishan trembled subconsciously. He didn't know if Prince An knew what happened in the past. Although he and Cheng Yi were now friends, it didn't mean that they had done it before. It's as if the incident never happened...
If a big shot like Prince An knew that his only son had been bullied...
Shi Kaishan couldn't help but tremble, especially when he felt that the smile on Prince An's face had faded a bit after he knew his name, and he became even more frightened.
But I don't know if it was because he knew that Cheng Yi and he were good friends now, Prince An's smile quickly returned to its previous state, but his attitude towards him and Wei Cheyu and Wei Zhenzhen were completely different. They were obviously much more enthusiastic towards Wei Cheyu, Wei Zhenzhen, and others. to him……
Cold attitude.
Shi Kaishan did not dare to complain at all, he just wanted to disappear in front of Prince An immediately.
Fortunately, God seemed to hear his prayers. Prince An did not try too hard to persuade Cheng Yi to stay, but instead supported him to go out and do more activities.
When leaving the Wei family, Shi Kaishan felt like he had escaped. He patted his chest and abdomen, then clasped his fists and bowed to Cheng Yi: "Brother Mingcheng, please forgive me for what happened before!"
When Shi Kaishan knew the prince before, he did not immediately apologize solemnly because he felt that although he had bullied Cheng Yi, most of it was verbal and not physical. The bullying at that time was also because he was afraid that Cheng Yi would affect the academy. reputation.
After later discovering that Cheng Yi had not disgraced the academy, Shi Kaishan thought that he was very friendly to Cheng Yi, even though it was because of the small effort in Wei Zhenzhen and the others' sake.
But after meeting Prince An, Shi Kaishan felt that he needed to apologize solemnly. If Prince An didn't like him in the future, at least Cheng Yi could help make peace.
After Cheng Yi heard Shi Kaishan's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what he meant, so he shook his head and said, "You don't have to be like this! I don't care."
Shi Kaishan just smiled, but did not give up apologizing. After that, his attitude towards Cheng Yi became even more cautious that he himself was not aware of.
Although Shi Kaishan's attitude towards Cheng Yi was no longer bad later, his attitude was clearly careless and indifferent, and he would never be as cautious in his words and deeds as he is now.
Cheng Yi knew that this was the impact of becoming An Qin's eldest son. Logically speaking, he should be happy, but...
Full of heart but only...
Bitter meaning.
