Chapter 18 You are Prince Ning’s son
The next day, Zhao Xinghe dressed up. He specially wore the brocade robe Xia Yuwei made for him, making him look even more handsome and free-spirited.
When they arrived at the main hall, everyone lowered their eyebrows and did not dare to say anything. They waited respectfully for the emperor to arrive.
The emperor took a special look at Zhao Xinghe and said quietly to Zheng Daban: "It looks more like him when he is dressed like this."
Zheng Daban said: "Prince Ning's Mansion has been sending people to inquire about him in the past few days. I'm afraid they have found out."
The emperor said: "If Prince Ning can't even see this, he would be too stupid. This kid looks good and can be ranked number one."
Zheng Daban also smiled: "Your Majesty, your Majesty."
For a while, the emperor asked people to bring the questions and show them to everyone. Everyone began to think hard and work hard to write the article. The emperor stepped down from the throne and looked at them one by one. Among the ten candidates, eight characters were written crookedly. Only Zhao Xinghe
And another candidate named Chen Dongxiang wrote well.
The emperor whispered again: "This child can also write well, but I don't know how well he writes articles."
After a while, everyone had finished writing. The emperor picked up Zhao Xinghe's and read it first, then turned to Zheng Daban and said: "Clearly organized, clear in discussing things, insightful, and pragmatic. He is a talented person." He picked up Zhao Xinghe's and read it.
With a wave of his pen, he clicked on the number one scholar.
The emperor read Chen Dongxiang's article again: "It's steady and down-to-earth, with a clear narrative. It's very good." He ranked second.
I ordered another one called Dong Qiwang and made Tanhua.
The three of them knelt down and thanked them for their kindness. The others were quite disappointed, but being able to win a martial arts exam was an honor to the family.
Zhao Xinghe left the main hall and went directly to the Changping Marquis Mansion.
Xia Yuwei was standing at the gate waiting for him. "How is Xinghe?" Xia Yuwei asked with a smile.
Zhao Xinghe held her hand: "I won the first prize in the exam, how are you going to reward me?"
Xia Yuwei chuckled: "Why don't you go see my dad soon."
Zhao Xinghe pinched her face: "Weiwei, wait for me to marry you."
Xia Yuwei smiled and said: "Then come into the house quickly. My father is waiting too."
Zhao Xinghe took Xia Yuwei to the study together. As soon as Zhao Xinghe entered the study, he knelt down and said, "Master Hou, I have won the first prize in martial arts. Please give Weiwei to me."
Xia Yan laughed loudly: "You are quite capable, and you are really on the gold list. Okay, go back and prepare the betrothal gift."
Zhao Xinghe was overjoyed and kowtowed heavily: "Father-in-law, please accept my son-in-law's greetings."
Xia Yan accepted the gift and said, "Yuwei is still young. After her fifteenth birthday next year, come and marry her."
Zhao Xinghe nodded: "Yes."
Xia Yan chatted with him for a few more times before letting him out.
Zhao Xinghe took Xia Yuwei's hand and sighed: "You are right, my father-in-law really wants to wait until you are fifteen before he is willing to marry you to me."
Xia Yuwei said with a smile: "It's finally done, it's just a matter of waiting."
Zhao Xinghe felt aggrieved again: "You don't even miss me, you don't worry, you..."
Xia Yuwei smiled and called, "Good brother."
Zhao Xinghe's heart blossomed, and he was about to go forward and hug her, "Weiwei, Weiwei."
Xia Yuwei twisted her body and avoided it: "If you hug me here, my mother will fight you to the death."
Zhao Xinghe looked downcast, "Weiwei, Weiwei..."
Xia Yuwei said: "Tomorrow we will go to Yanbinlou to eat soy sauce duck."
Only then did Zhao Xinghe become happy.
The two held hands and talked for a long time before Zhao Xinghe reluctantly left.
When Zhao Xinghe returned to Zhao's house, he saw the concierge coming to greet him. "Sir, someone came to see you and said he was from Prince Ning's Mansion."
Zhao Xinghe was surprised: "Why do people from Prince Ning's Mansion come to me?"
The concierge said: "He didn't say that Butler Zhang is drinking tea in the flower hall with him now."
Zhao Xinghe hurried to the flower hall. When Li Liang saw him, he quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "My eldest son, Li Liang kowtows to you."
Zhao Xinghe turned sideways and said, "What are you..."
Li Liang stood up and gave another salute, "My eldest son, you are the eldest son of Prince Ning's palace. On the eighth day of the first lunar month of the eighteenth year of Hongwu, you were kidnapped by gangsters. The prince and princess have been looking for you until two days ago.
When he saw you in the school field, the prince recognized you at a glance. You are his long-lost son. Eldest Young Master, please come back to the palace with me to see the prince."
Zhao Xinghe was stunned for a moment: "Are you mistaken? I am Prince Ning's son?"
He couldn't believe it.
Li Liang said: "You will understand as soon as you meet the prince. You and the prince are simply carved from the same mold. They really look alike."
Zhao Xinghe asked: "The lost eldest son of Ning Prince's Mansion is also called Zhao Xinghe?"
Li Liang nodded: "That's true."
Zhao Xinghe sighed: "No wonder she never told me who my father was. It turns out that I was kidnapped by her."
Li Liang asked: "Who is she?"
Zhao Xinghe said: "It's the woman who raised me. Her name is Zhang Manniang."
Li Liang was shocked: "How could it be her?"
Zhao Xinghe said: "Does she have any grudge against Prince Ning's Mansion?"
Li Liang sighed: "There is indeed a festival. Back then, she fell in love with the prince and expressed her feelings many times, but the prince... the last time, she actually stripped naked in front of the prince. The prince walked away at that time, and she shouted, "You
You will definitely regret it, and I will definitely make you regret it. Then she disappeared. We didn’t pay attention, thinking that she had married out of town. Who knew...it was actually her...sigh."
Zhao Xinghe also understood. "So that's it. I said, why does she hate me so much."
Li Liang said: "You must have suffered a lot."
Zhao Xinghe also sighed.
Li Liang said: "Your Majesty is waiting for you in the palace. Please come back with me."
Zhao Xinghe nodded: "Okay."
He took Shen Ding and followed Li Liang to Prince Ning's Mansion.
In Prince Ning's Mansion, the Prince and the Princess were waiting eagerly in the Chongde Hall.
Not long after, a servant came to report: "The eldest son is here."
The princess burst into tears.
