Shen Chenyu took Mu Linting back to the small courtyard, and the two of them planned to buy a house. Shen Chenyu is the No. 1 scholar this time, and he will join the Hanlin Academy to edit and write. Although Xiuzhuan of the Hanlin Academy is only a small official from the sixth grade, he is the best start among a group of Jinshi.
Shen Chenyu doesn't intend to leave the capital, let alone choose to be sent to other places. Since he chose to stay in the capital, he must have his own house. Before that, he specially reserved a sum of money for the purpose of buying a house in the future.
In a place where every inch of land is very expensive in the capital, the price of an ordinary house in the outer city is several times that of the original capital. Shen Chenyu planned to buy a house in the outer city with Mu Linting before the Qionglin banquet.
Shen Chenyu wasn't sure if she could pass the exam, so it wasn't a big deal even if she didn't live in the house. But since they plan to stay in the capital in the future, they should have their own house. After all, rented houses still have a lot of inconveniences.
The Qionglin Banquet, also known as the Enrong Banquet, was specially designed by the emperor to entertain the newly promoted disciples of the emperor. The Qionglin banquet in this dynasty is held on the third day after Chuanlu, and these three days are the time for Jinshi to choose their lives.
Shen Chenyu had nothing to think about, he and Mu Linting came to the capital just to enter the court. Now it seems that it is a close call, and of course he will not choose to give up at this critical moment.
So on the second day of the Chuanlu Ceremony, Shen Chenyu took Mu Linting out early in the morning. He already talked about the matter of Yujiu yesterday, although Shen Chenyu had detoxified mutated fruit to save his life, but this incident still shocked Mu Linting.
After the two discussed it last night, they passed this matter to the Eighth Prince. Regardless of whether it was done by the prince's people or not, it is better to leave this matter to the eighth prince for investigation. After all, the problem lies in the palace, and it is not convenient for Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting to intervene in the affairs of the palace.
Shen Chenyu thought that someone would attack him, and was also worried that someone would attack Mu Linting and the child, so he gave Mu Linting an antidote fruit.
There are three pieces of this kind of fruit Shen Chenyu, and now he ate one and gave Mu Linting another one, so they only have one left. In the future, when they are in the capital where fish and dragons are mixed, it is estimated that such poisoning will be impossible to prevent. For safety, they should prepare more detoxification mutant fruits.
Before that, Shen Chenyu was busy with the palace examination and the ceremony of passing on the coffin, so she never paid attention to the upgraded plane mall. Mu Linting didn't know what he got in the lottery before, but now when he was accompanying Mu Linting to look for a house, Shen Chenyu took the time to ask Mu Linting.
Mu Linting also thought of this when he heard the words, so he took out the prize he had drawn. Shen Chenyu looked down at the egg in his palm, and suddenly he understood why Mu Linting didn't speak, because Mu Linting didn't know what this little egg was.
Shen Chenyu blinked helplessly, "Put this egg away first, I'll see the system and maybe... I'll know what it is."
When Shen Chenyu said this, she had already opened the plane mall in her mind. Then he discovered that the new plane he unlocked was a magical world full of magic.
In the plane mall of the magic world, the things sold are not magic potions, but all kinds of egg-born monsters. These monsters are divided into three, six, and nine grades, and the higher the monsters, the more terrifying the points they need. Shen Chenyu even saw an egg-born monster whose price had reached... 99999 points?
However, before Shen Chenyu continued to slander, he saw Mu Linting's egg on the magic plane. Compared with a large group of gaudy magic eggs, the egg drawn by Mu Linting was not only ordinary but also very eye-catching.
Because most of the things in the entire magic plane mall are colorful. Only the egg drawn by Mu Linting was a pure white and ordinary egg.
It is precisely because everyone is gaudy, only it is exceptionally... "out of mud but not stained", so Shen Chenyu found it easily.
After seeing the price of that egg, Shen Chenyu realized that Mu Linting was actually the so-called real European Emperor. Because the mediocre egg drawn by Mu Linting is worth as much as 88888 points in the magical world plane, which is only one level lower than the most expensive egg that spawned monsters.
Shen Chenyu thought of his previous lottery draw. He always felt that he was very lucky. But there is no harm without comparison. Now after the comparison, Shen Chenyu only feels that she has been hurt a lot.
Before Shen Chenyu continued to read the explanation of the egg, several figures appeared in front of him and Mu Linting, and Shen Chenyu was forced to recover from the plane mall. Then he raised his eyes and saw Zhang Chu and the others, who were smiling at him and Mu Linting with friendly expressions.
Shen Chenyu frowned subconsciously, and said a little puzzled: "What are you doing?"
Zhang Thui laughed immediately after hearing the words: "It's nothing, I heard that Yulang and you are going to buy a house, and we also need to buy a house, why don't we go buy it together, maybe we can be neighbors then."
Shen Chenyu rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that he would never do neighbors with anyone, and this person didn't have any good intentions at first sight. Even though he had misunderstood Zhang Chu in his heart before, Shen Chenyu still had a bad impression of Zhang Chu.
At this moment, there were people coming and going on the street, and they were all Shen Chenyu's classmate in name, and it was not good for Shen Chenyu to tear his face at this time, so he finally agreed.
But the promise was indeed a promise, but Shen Chenyu held Mu Linting's hand the whole time, and didn't give Zhang Chu a chance to intervene in them at all.
The folk customs in this dynasty are relatively open, but there are very few young couples who hold hands like this. At first, Mu Linting felt very awkward, always feeling that many people around were peeping at them.
But later Mu Linting knew Shen Chenyu's intentions, and thinking that Zhang Chu always squeezed him out intentionally or unintentionally before, Mu Linting obeyed Shen Chenyu and did not refuse.
As long as Shen Chenyu doesn't feel ashamed, it's fine. Now that he's wearing a veil, he can play around with Shen Chenyu. Anyway, he wasn't the one who got angry in the end.
Originally Zhang Cui wanted to push Mu Linting down, but he didn't expect that he didn't push back against him, but he himself was pushed hard by the little husband.
Seeing the young couple singing in harmony, Zhang Cui's handsome face looked a little stiff, but fortunately, he was quite capable of pretending, but he didn't show any strangeness in front of outsiders.
There were only two of them in high school, and the others all failed this time. As for what they said about buying a house together, it was only Zhang Chu and one of them who bought it, and the others still had to return to Liangzhou Mansion in a few days.
When a group of people were looking at houses in the outer city, Zhang Chu couldn't help asking about returning home. After the Qionglin Banquet, there were three months for a group of Xinke Scholars to go home to worship their ancestors.
Originally, Shen Chenyu should also go back, but now that Shen Liu and the others have been sent away, the journey is far away and there are so many variables, Shen Chenyu decided not to go back for the time being.
When Zhang Thui heard that they were not going back, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He originally thought that Mu Linting was pregnant, and Shen Chenyu would definitely not bring her with him when he went back. It might be his chance to get close to Shen Chenyu.
Now after hearing Shen Chenyu's words, Zhang Thui only felt uncomfortable for a while. He had never seen such a person who favored his husband so much, but he couldn't help but be attracted by such Shen Chenyu.
To say what exactly attracted Shen Chenyu to him, in fact, Zhang Chu himself couldn't tell the truth. But the other party just has a kind of magic power, whether it's a glance, a smile, or anger, he is different from other men in this world.
Shen Chenyu has no worldliness, he is not like most men in this world, who are either beauty or power in their eyes. It is not enough for them to have a wife, they will greedily want more petites. It's not enough for them to have a good official career, and they want to step on others to climb up at all costs.
However, such a person is good in everything, but because he is good in everything, he is not beautiful. Because Zhang Chu met him too late, and because Shen Chenyu had a husband long ago, such a person wanted to stay away from him.
...
Because everyone was talking and laughing along the way, and many people on the road recognized Zhuangyuan Lang, they didn't choose a good house at all on the first day. Later, it was Aunt Xue Lian who went out to find acquaintances, and Shen Chenyu chose a pretty good yard.
Based on the alliance relationship between Shen Chenyu and the Eighth Prince, he felt that they would not live in the outer city for long, so buying a yard with two entrances was enough. When his official position rises one level, he will be eligible to bring Mu Linting into the inner city, and it will not be too late to buy a better house at that time.
After the yard was purchased, it was time for the Qionglin Banquet. The Qionglin Banquet was held in the Ministry of Rites, because the Ministry of Rites is where the Eighth Prince belongs, so Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting were not worried.
Shen Chenyu and Zhang Chuan went to the banquet together. One was the number one scholar and the other was Tanhua. They were surrounded by a group of people as soon as they arrived. Shen Chenyu couldn't stand this kind of onlooker, but fortunately, this kind of onlooker broke up soon, because the emperor brought several princes here.
The entire Qionglin Banquet was filled with disciples of the emperor, who would be the pillars of the court, and it was time for the princes to cultivate their power.
Those who can be brought by the emperor at this time are generally capable of fighting for the position of crown prince in the future, so most of the princes who come here at this time are the emperor's favorites.
Among them, the two standing next to the emperor, one is the rumored favored prince, and the other is the eleventh prince with powerful relatives. In addition to these two princes, there is also the eighth prince standing behind and the fifth prince with a gloomy face.
These four princes represent the four powers. Except for Xiao Shiyi who was forced by his relatives to make his debut, the remaining three powers are actually pretty much the same.
Shen Chenyu has seen the eighth prince and the prince, one of them is always smiling, and the other looks evil.
Compared with these two people with great contrast, the remaining five princes and eleven princes don't have much sense of existence. Because these two are the taciturn type, especially the fifth prince who doesn't seem to get along with a gloomy face, and there is only arrogance in his cold eyes.
The emperor didn't stay long at the Qionglin Banquet, and after the emperor left, the originally tense atmosphere eased a lot.
The crown prince is the most honorable among them, so he is almost the only one talking to himself afterwards. Even if this is the territory of the Ministry of Rites and the Eighth Prince, he, the prince, does not feel uncomfortable at all.
Speaking of which, their emperor is also interesting. Other emperors are very afraid of their children thinking about the throne, but this one is the opposite of other emperors. This was not the first time he had brought the princes to the Qionglin Banquet, and he was even intentionally letting the princes cultivate their influence.
The emperor is like a lion king, who seems to spoil his cubs, but actually always watches them fight with cold eyes. Even in order for them to fight, the lion king will actively push the prey in front of them.
Just like this time, all the forces from all directions were gathered here at once. In addition to letting the princes choose talents, they still want to see how they fight. Regardless of the emperor's intentions in doing so, the Qionglin Banquet at this time felt like the rain was about to come.
The prince first talked to the No. 2, which made the No. 2 look nervous and excited. This No. 2 was from a noble family, and he probably understood the meaning of what the crown prince said to him, so the whole person couldn't help being so excited.
Seeing that the crown prince had chosen the second place, and the second place had this excited expression, the other princes understood in their hearts. So at the subsequent banquet, the princes didn't pay attention to the second place.
Shen Chenyu's cooperation with the eighth prince, although not many people know about it, but everyone who should know knows about it. It stands to reason that he has already chosen a side, and the other princes should skip him like passing second place. But what many people present did not expect was that the eleventh prince, who had been taciturn all this time, suddenly moved, and sat beside Shen Chenyu in a very upright manner.
After the eleventh prince sat down, he glanced coolly at the few Jinshi next to him, and they immediately gave up their space very consciously. After there was no one around them, the eleventh prince picked up the wine and glanced at Shen Chenyu.
The eleventh prince has been in the army all year round, so he has a strong evil spirit on him. Even though he is still very young now, he already has the feeling of a hero.
Just when everyone was guessing the eleventh prince's intentions, the eleventh prince suddenly lowered his voice and said to Shen Chenyu: "Is he okay?"
Shen Chenyu looked at the eleventh prince who was so direct, and suddenly understood the reason why Mu Linting had a good impression of him, because the two of them had straightforward personalities.
But the temperament of the eleventh prince is not suitable for being an emperor. I don't know if it's good or bad for his parents to force him to do so.
"Return to Your Highness, Lin Ting is doing well now."
At least after he came, he never made Mu Linting feel wronged again, whether it was materially or spiritually.
The eleventh prince's eyes moved when he heard the words, and then he looked down at the wine glass in his hand. "Very good... just fine."
The eleventh prince was very young, so when Mu Linting had an accident, he was just a useless child. It was precisely because of his powerlessness at the beginning that he had to become stronger little by little.
Although he looked down on the noble throne, as a prince, he would inevitably be involved in right and wrong, so he had to grow up overnight.
Speaking of which, he is not very familiar with Mu Linting, but because Mu Linting had rescued him many times when he first entered the military camp, the other party has always been a God of War in his heart.
Even later, Mu Linting was framed by the crown prince and suffered injustice, even...he knew that the other party was a brother, but his thoughts still did not change.
Just when the eleventh prince was about to get up and leave, the prince, who had never looked at Shen Chenyu, suddenly walked towards them slowly holding a wine glass. Seeing this, the eleventh prince's eyes turned cold, and then he sat down on his seat again, as if he wanted to see what the emperor brother was going to do.
The prince quickly glanced at the eleventh prince, then looked down at Shen Chenyu indifferently and said: "On the day when he paraded through the street, Shen Zhuangyuan really had no light. I don't know if the people who praised the champion Knowing that Shen Zhuangyuan's husband is the former General Mu, how will he see Shen Zhuangyuan then?"
After the prince finished saying this, he suddenly thought of something good. He couldn't help but laughed, and he seemed to be insane.
This is the character of the prince. When he is normal, he is quite gentle and elegant, but when he is arrogant, he has another face.
At that time, Mu Linting had been lied to by him for many years, and it was only when he was tortured that his body was completely shattered that he suddenly discovered that his so-called best friend was just a lunatic.
A man who is crazy for power, a man who appears to be a gentleman but is actually narrow-minded.
The originally lively Qionglin Banquet fell silent when they heard the prince's words. Zhang Thui, who was sitting not far away, was full of shock. He was just wondering whether he was standing in line with the eighth prince or the fifth prince. At this moment, he suddenly heard the prince's words and couldn't react.
Who is Shen Chenyu's husband? Isn't he just an ordinary guy?
Why...why did you get involved with that person all of a sudden?
Who is that? The case back then was known all over the world... Unexpectedly, Shen Chenyu's husband turned out to be...
Zhang Chu thought about what happened that day in the upstairs of the champion, thought of the other party's unfathomable skill, thought of the other party's always wearing a veil in front of others, thought of...
The more Zhang Chu thought about it, the more terrifying he felt. There were many things that he couldn't figure out at first, but at this moment he suddenly figured everything out.
So that's the case, so that's the case?
At this moment, not only Zhang Chu was shocked, but also the other Xinke Scholars were also shocked. They never expected that things would suddenly turn out like this.
The second place who was very jealous before, after hearing the prince's words, immediately got up and shouted: "So, the husband of the champion is the traitor Mu Linting!!"
This name has not been mentioned for too long. In the past, this name was a myth, and it was the undefeated God of War of their Da Yu. Now that he was brought up again, he was charged with unnecessary crimes and became a traitor in the eyes of the whole world.
It's ridiculous! Big joke!
Seeing that Shen Chenyu laughed suddenly, staring at a pair of eyes that were about to fall out, he shouted angrily: "What are you laughing at? As a student of the Son of Heaven, how can you become a husband and wife with that kind of person? This is not hitting us scholars face?"
Although the words of the second place are very provocative, but those who can be admitted to Jinshi are not stupid. Shen Chenyu's No. 1 scholar was ordered by the emperor. If they follow the consequences of fooling around, it is very likely that Shen Chenyu will not make any mistakes, but they may be questioned by the superiors.
After all, No. 2 is considered to be the prince's person now, and the No. 2 class has the mountain of the prince to rely on. They have nothing now, so they dare not stand up and say anything at this time.
Shen Chenyu smiled at the second place, then casually looked at the prince and said, "So, what does your highness mean?"
Seeing his indifferent appearance, the prince suddenly drew the sword from the hand of the guard next to him, and then pointed the sword at Shen Chenyu's heart.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and looked at the prince in horror. He didn't expect the crown prince to do this at all, and he wanted to do it without saying a word.
Shen Chenyu's brows twitched slightly, except for the shock when she was caught by the sword, she quickly calmed down. This is how he is, the more nervous and frightened he is, the more flexible his mind and limbs will be.
The prince had been silent before, and he didn't even dare to fight back when he was threatened by Mu Linting. At this time, he suddenly went crazy for no reason, and Shen Chenyu knew that he must be planning something.
When the prince dealt with Mu Linting back then, he pretended to be charged with a crime. No matter what he said, he was also the number one scholar hand-picked by the emperor, and now it was the critical moment of the Qionglin Banquet, no matter how crazy the other party was, he would not dare to stab him with a sword.
Shen Chenyu calmed down after thinking like this, and the eyes she looked at the prince gradually became cold. It seems that they were not pushing hard enough, otherwise the prince would not have so much leisure and elegance.
