When the results were announced in May, the first place was Yu Qiubai, the grandson of Yu Taifu, and the second place was the boy named Qiyue.

This result was not unexpected by Chu Qinghuang, and of course, Shen Zhongjin also thought it was normal.

But compared to Yu Qiubai, Qiyue obviously attracted more attention from most people. They were all wondering about the identity of this boy, and at the same time, they were also thinking about the relationship between Lord Shen and this boy.

If Lord Shen had any unknown relationship with him, then they would inevitably doubt the fairness of this spring examination. If Lord Shen did not know him before and only had contact with him later, should they suspect that Lord Shen had the ability to predict the future, so he made friends with Mr. Qiyue in advance?

The palace examination was in June.

At the end of May, an uninvited guest came to the imperial city and presented one million taels of silver to Her Majesty the Queen in the name of supporting students, which was amazing.

"Nuannuan." Fu Cang was the first to get the news. "Zhou Shao came to the imperial city and asked to see Her Majesty the Queen outside the imperial city. I had someone bring him in."

"Zhou Shao?" Chu Qinghuang looked up from the paper, "What is he doing here?"

"To deliver silver to Her Majesty."

Chu Qinghuang raised her eyebrows and nodded slowly: "In that case, what are you waiting for? Let him in quickly."

Fu Cang raised his hand, and soon someone summoned Zhou Shao to see the emperor.

A man walked in from outside and saluted respectfully: "I, Zhou Shao, pay my respects to the emperor!"

Zhou Shao, who has taken over the position of the head of the Zhou family, is more calm than when he met him three years ago. He is tall and straight in a dark blue robe, and his demeanor is calm.

Even the ceremony of paying homage is unique.

Chu Qinghuang's eyes fell on him, and she said lightly: "How is the Zhou family master?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Zhou Shao bowed his head and replied, "I am fine."

"This is my husband." Chu Qinghuang said, "The Queen."

Fu Cang sat up straight.

"I know." Zhou Shao lowered his eyebrows, "The husband is not only the Queen, but also the only husband of Her Majesty the Queen."

Fu Cang replied silently, it's good for you to know.

"I pay my respects to the husband, Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

Chu Qinghuang then spoke: "Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhou Shao stood up, his eyes swept across Fu Cang's face, and then he stood with his eyebrows lowered. He couldn't help feeling a little unfair in his heart. Her Majesty the Queen is the emperor, why would she give up the harem for one person?

Fu Cang was thinking in his heart, don't think he doesn't know what Zhou Shao is thinking, isn't it just to become the queen's harem?

Dreaming is faster.

Chu Qinghuang asked, "Why did you suddenly come to the Imperial City?"

"The students who can pass the Spring Examination are the future pillars of Xiqi and the future loyal ministers of Your Majesty. I am willing to do my best to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstone for the students."

This is of course a humble remark.

One million taels is not a small contribution, and buying pens, ink, paper and inkstone does not cost one million taels.

In fact, offering silver is not Zhou Shao's main purpose of coming to the capital. He just wants to take this opportunity to come and see His Majesty and offer some silver to show his sincere loyalty.

Chu Qinghuang looked at him silently, and said in a light voice: "You are thoughtful."

Zhou Shao said respectfully: "This is the duty of common people."

Fu Cang sat aside without any expression, "You have taken over the position of the head of the family now. The Zhou family has a huge business. You, as the head of the family, should be very busy. If you really want to, just send the housekeeper to deliver the silver."

Zhou Shao lowered his eyebrows: "The emperor is right."

He just wants to come here in person, what's wrong?

Who can punish him in the name of delivering silver?

"The head of the Zhou family is not afraid of the long journey and personally delivers the money. His Majesty is naturally relieved, but it is not easy to come all the way here, and he cannot stay in the imperial city. He is exhausted from the round trip. In addition to the tight time, I am afraid that his body will not be able to bear it." Fu Cang said indifferently, "It's not worth it if you fall ill."

No matter how many thousands or tens of thousands of miles you travel, leave quickly after delivering the silver, and don't expect to stay and have a meal with His Majesty.

Chu Qinghuang silently reviewed the memorials, listening to the two of them talking back and forth, being extremely polite, but each of them had their own little thoughts in their hearts, tit for tat...

If Chu Qinghuang wasn't the one who had the ability to read minds, she couldn't help but suspect that Zhou Shao and Fu Cang had a telepathic connection with each other and could guess each other's thoughts.

It turns out that men are so childish when they get jealous.
