Empress Chu

If this person is really Deng Yi, he should hide his name and hide his name, and even come to participate in the scientific examination in a grand manner, without changing his name or appearance.

If there is a problem, it is impossible for the Arch Guard Division not to know.

Now the prefectures and counties of the Gongwei Division are complete, and the deep houses, courtyards, and fields can be spied on. Mole crickets and ants can't escape their eyes, let alone a person who looks like Deng Yi and is named Deng Yi.

But this Deng Yi was not only still able to participate in the scientific examination, but also became the top of the list. At this time, he walked into the capital calmly.

"My lord." A petty official rushed in, interrupting the officials who were drinking tea and laughing together in the hall, "here he is, that Deng Yi is here."

Hearing this, the officials got up in a panic, and went to sit down in front of their respective desks.

"Student Deng Yi, come and register." A voice came from outside the door.

An official trembled slightly, and his voice sounded like that. He coughed lightly: "Come in."

Several officials stared at the door and saw the light and shadow swaying. One person walked in, wearing a blue robe, with a clean head and face, and his face was as happy and sad as before.

He swept his gaze across the crowd, walked up to one of them, and took out a name card.

The official subconsciously stood up and took it with both hands.

"My lord," he blurted out.

Deng Yi suddenly smiled

The official came back to his senses, his face stiffened.

"It's too early to be called an adult." Deng Yi handed the name card to the man, and said: "Students come to register in the roster. After the students are in high school, they will work together with the adults again."

The official did not say a word, sat back holding the name card in both hands, took a deep breath, picked up a pen to register the name card, and then passed the name card to another person, the other person checked it, picked up a pen to endorse, and then passed it to the next person, The next person checks, picks up Taixue's seal and buckles it——

Deng Yi took the name card that was handed back, and saluted: "Student resigns."

He then turned and walked out.

The room was quiet again, and the stagnant atmosphere dissipated, and the three officials breathed a sigh of relief.

"If it wasn't Deng Yi," an official said, "I'd be damned."

Another official felt that this was wrong: "He is really Deng Yi, shouldn't he be a ghost?"

That's right, the three of them looked at each other.

"Maybe it's because the capital has gone through too many hardships, and it seems to always see ghosts." An official said, "It was not rumored that the imperial guards of the imperial city were there. .”

What is this all about? The officials frowned and stretched out their hands to press their foreheads.

Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, don't guess, don't guess, they are responsible for preparing for the imperial examination, personnel affairs and ghosts have nothing to do with them.

……

……

The roster of all candidates was placed on the emperor's desk.

Xiao Yu's gaze stayed on Deng Yi's name for a moment.

"Is Ah Yu afraid?" Chu Zhao asked from the side.

Xiao Yu said: "Don't be afraid." He stretched out his hand to caress the name and smiled, "If he can pass the exam, I will dare to use him."

The young man raised his eyebrows in high spirits.

Chu Zhao also laughed, no wonder Xie Yanlai didn't like this kid, because they all looked like Xie's family.

Xiao Yu's eyebrows and eyes widened, and he looked more like Xie Yanlai.

……

……

At the end of April, the trees on both sides of the strait are green and the spring flowers are at the end, and there is a gust of wind flying around.

In the turbulent river, a hand hangs down from the driving orchid boat, picking up a few petals from the water.

The water-soaked petals, in the white and jade-like palm, seemed to be revived, bright red and coquettish.

"So, Deng Yi passed the exam?" The young master who was holding the petals asked while leaning on the side of the boat.

Cai Bo flicked the oar behind and nodded: "Yes, and it's in the top ten."

Xie Yanfang turned her head and smiled: "After sleeping for more than a year, I missed a lot of new things."

Chapter 22 Different

Hearing these words, hatred appeared on Cai Bo's face.

"Chu thief is hateful." He said.

Xie Yanfang snorted: "Uncle Cai, you really haven't said a good word about her since the beginning."

That's true. From the first time he saw that girl, he didn't like it. Why?Cai Bo shook his oars and thought, looking at the young master who was sitting leaning on the side of the boat, his black hair was like snow.

Probably because from the very first time, the young master treated this girl differently.

There is no difference in the world in the eyes of the young master. Once there is a difference, the heart will always be biased.

If the mind is biased, it will be hindered by it.

Sure enough, the son has fallen to where he is today.

"Now I only hate that I only said bad things." Cai Bo sighed.

She should be eliminated directly.

Or he underestimated this woman.

Xie Yanfang laughed: "But this time, you really can't blame her. It wasn't her who harmed me, it was I who harmed myself."

Hearing this sentence, Cai Bo's face became even more ugly, and the oars creaked.

When the woman returned to the capital, the first thing she did was to bring the young master a cup of poisoned wine.

This was of course expected, Xie Yanfang hurt herself earlier to let her return to the imperial city, not that she didn't want to live anymore, she was really willing to be killed.

So he drank the poisoned wine in advance, so that he could fight the poison with the poison and not be harmed.

Who would have thought-

"What she gave me was not poisoned wine." Xie Yanfang said.

As a result, there was no poison to attack, and the poison hurt itself, almost dying.

"She did it on purpose! No wonder she said to me before leaving, those who count others are actually counting themselves." Cai Bo was still trembling with anger when he remembered that time.

At that time, he didn't realize it. He thought that Chu Zhao was the Xie family who made troubles by himself, so he was seeking his own death. When he found that the young master's state was getting worse and worse, he understood what was going on.

Xie Yanfang laughed again, but it was a pity that he was so poisoned that he passed out at that time. He didn't know what Chu Zhao's expression was like, and he didn't know what she said, so he couldn't applaud her.

She was right, she was on guard against him, and knew that he was also on guard against her, so she pushed the boat along and let him suffer the consequences.

She is indeed different from him, she is worse than him.

Xie Yanfang smiled and leaned against the side of the boat to watch the turbulent water, Cai Bo's voice continued in her ears.

"The old man and the others went to prison, and their family property was confiscated. Although we asked the children in the family to change their names and surnames to preserve the blood according to the son's order in advance, what does the blood of the name change have anything to do with our Xie family?"

"This year, Mrs. Xie was convicted. She didn't give up. She grinded her flesh with a blunt knife, grinding Mrs. Xie into dust."

"Not only Mrs. Xie, but also Mrs. Xie's relatives and friends are also deeply tortured, suffering unspeakably."

Xie Yanfang interrupted him: "These are not important anymore, Uncle Cai, the loser is the bandit, and this is the fate of the bandit."

He flipped his palm down, Luo Hua fell into the water again, and blinked away.

Cai Bo sighed silently for a moment: "I know this truth, but who would have thought that we would be lost in her hands."

Xie Yanfang suddenly said: "I have been in a coma for a year, I had a dream, and I experienced another life."

Cai Bo was stunned for a moment: "How about another life?"

Xie Yanfang said: "It's the same but different from now. In that life, Ah Yu also died."

Xiao Yu is also dead. Even though he knew about the dream, Cai Bo couldn't help but ask: "Then what happened?"

Xie Yanfang smiled slightly: "Of course the result is still as I wished."

But it's not very interesting.

There was no Chu Zhao in that dream, or in other words, there was a negligible Chu Zhao.

He hadn't even seen what she was like alive.

Only one dead body was seen.

So, just like that, no surprises, no joy, no fun.

Cai Bo didn't have much interest in dreams, he only lived in the present, and sighed softly: "Empress Chu pushed Deng Yi out, but didn't rectify his name, making him paradoxical, subject to control for life, and used by her."

The former Tai Fu Deng Yi was convicted of death, but now even if Deng Yi does not change his name, even if everyone knows that he is Deng Yi, he can no longer be Deng Yi, and Deng Yi has become a sharp sword hanging over his head.

Once the emperor doesn't want to use him, he can be chopped off.

I really don't know what else he is going to do. It's better to die, maybe I can't ask for death, who made him become Chu Zhao's palm.

"Don't think so much." Xie Yanfang said lazily.

If he was by her side, he would let her do the same.

This is not only to contain Deng Yi, but also to contain the emperor.

Cai Bo said again: "She held women's imperial examinations to win over more aristocratic families to consolidate power."

There is no Taifu Deng Yi in the court, and the Xie family has been eliminated by her, so her resistance is only left, the emperor.

Having said this, Cai Bo sighed again.

"My lord, when you were angry because she wasn't a queen, you fell for it."

"She just wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of you."

"You put all your heart into supporting her as queen, but she just wants you to die."

Xie Yanfang still smiled lazily: "Don't think so much."

He will also let her do this. It is very wise to use one imperial examination, and a few women as officials can win over a group of aristocratic families.

What about the empress and Xiao Yu fighting for power?

Who said that being a queen can only be a queen?

Xiao Yu was saved by her, her life belongs to her, she can do whatever she wants.

Hearing Xie Yanfang's two voices, don't think too much, Cai Bo was stunned for a moment, and sighed again, yes, don't think too much, it's useless to think too much, the young master's body is completely useless, Xie is gone, said Deng Yiren Neither human nor ghost, at least he can still appear in the world, but the young master can't.

He wandered around with his son, just to keep him alive.

What's the use of thinking so much about those talented people and those people who are planning.

He didn't want to make the young master sad anymore, so he quietly rowed the paddle.

Xie Yanfang leaned on the side of the boat, quietly looking at the flowing water, he was not sad at all, it didn't matter if his body was miserable, his family was miserable, or his ending was miserable.

She was indeed a queen as he wished, and the things she did after becoming a queen were all in line with his wishes.

Then what she said is different, what is the difference?

His rotten body made him live very hard, but he still woke up.

He endured the pain and endured the pain, and let's see what is different about her in this world.

……

……

The hall, which had been empty for more than a year, was full of people.

The [-] scholars selected in the first scientific examination after the new emperor came to power, and the [-] women who won the competition with the scholars all stood in the court hall.

Regardless of gender or age, they all wore red robes and hairpins, and accompanied by the singing of the officials, bowed down to the emperor and queen.

The scholars were excited, and the women were even more excited.

When they straddled the streets before, it seemed that all the women's families in the capital had appeared to pave the way for them with flowers.

They have done this kind of thing before, but they just stand on the side of the street and sprinkle flowers for the men, admiring and envious.
