After losing her husband, she turned the little villain of the Hou family into a big boss

Xiao Yuchen is getting married next month, and Tang Shuyi is so busy that he can barely touch the floor.While she was busy, the results of the general examination came out. Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yiyuan both entered the first class.

For a time, the eyes of almost everyone in the capital were focused on Duke Dingguo's mansion.There are only three people in this group, and Duke Dingguo's mansion occupies two people.You can't say they cheated. Both Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yiyuan came from well-known families, and before the examination, some people speculated that these two people would be in the second class at least.

Tang Shuyi was naturally very happy and sealed 160 six taels of silver to the official who came to announce the good news. The two official officials were so happy that they almost fainted.The two of them had been reporting good news to people for many years, but they had never received so much silver reward.

The two officials left happily, and then many people came to congratulate them. The smiles on Xiao Huai and Tang Shuyi's faces did not stop the whole day.

Even Prince Duan was beaming with joy today, because wherever he went today, people congratulated him on finding a good son-in-law.He is also a person with a good face, and he is naturally very happy that his future son-in-law has given him face.

After returning home, he went to Princess Jianing's yard and said, "You have a good sense in choosing a son-in-law. He is very handsome."

Princess Jianing was also very happy today and spoke very kindly to him. The relationship between father and daughter had never been so harmonious.After Prince Duan left, Princess Jianing sat there smiling in a daze, and her eldest maid said beside her: "Princess, you have really paid off after all the hardships."

Princess Jianing hummed, smiled, stood up, took the gift, and asked the maid to deliver it to Duke Dingguo's mansion.

Over at the palace, Li Jingyi was sitting behind the desk with a smile on his face.Seeing this, Ye Deben smiled and said: "Master Tang is a great talent, it is inevitable that Prince Xiao can do so well in the exam!"

Li Jingyi smiled and took a sip of tea, and then said: "Brother, he is also very hardworking. He has encountered bandits before when he traveled abroad."

Ye Deben nodded and added: "I heard that Prince Xiao met Princess Jianing at that time. It seems that the fate between the two is destined."

Li Jingyi nodded, but regretted that the deposed emperor had given them a marriage before, otherwise he could have given them a marriage, which would be the icing on the cake.

At this moment, a young eunuch came in and said, "Master Zhao from the cabinet wants to see the emperor."

The smile on Li Jingyi's face faded a lot, "Invite him in."

The young eunuch went out, and soon Master Zhao came in. After saluting Li Jingyi, he said: "The prince Dingguo will pass the first class test, what are the emperor's plans?"

Li Jingyi asked doubtfully: "What plan do I need?"

Mr. Zhao: "The palace of Duke Dingguo is in a raging fire right now. If the emperor cares about Duke Dingguo and his wife, he should not choose Prince Xiao as the number one scholar during the palace examination."

After hearing this, Li Jingyi lowered his eyes to cover up the disgust and impatience in his eyes. When he raised his eyes again, his eyes were pure, "Whether I will nominate Prince Xiao as the number one scholar depends on Prince Xiao's performance in the imperial examination. The imperial examination is required. Justice is the same when it comes to me."

Mr. Zhao saw his honest and innocent face and didn't know what to say for a moment.After a while, he said: "Your Majesty, everyone knows that you and Duke Dingguo have a deep friendship. If you nominate Prince Xiao as the number one scholar, I am afraid that some people will say that you are biased, and it will not be good for your reputation towards Prince Xiao. "

After listening to his words, Li Jingyi looked like he was thinking seriously, and then said: "I understand, and I will consider your suggestion, Mr. Zhao."

Mr. Zhao felt that what he said meant he agreed with his own suggestion, with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty is wise, he fears his decline when he is extremely prosperous. Duke Ding and his wife understand this truth."

Li Jingyi nodded seriously again, "That's what Aiqing said."

Mr. Zhao picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and then said: "Your Majesty will be 15 years old soon and has reached the age of marriage. Should we start the draft?"

After hearing what he said, Li Jingyi blushed, "I...I'm still young. Let's talk about the wedding later."

"Your Majesty," Mr. Zhao said sternly, "the country cannot be without a king for a day, nor can the harem be without an heir for a long time. Besides, Your Majesty also has to consider his heirs."

Li Jingyi looked at Mr. Zhao silently. When Mr. Zhao was looked at a little by him, Li Jingyi said: "When will I get married and who will I marry? These are all my private affairs and my family affairs. It is better for Mr. Zhao not to intervene." .”

"I have no intention of meddling in the emperor's private affairs." Mr. Zhao stood up and bowed respectfully, and then said: "It's just that you are the monarch, and the monarch's affairs are state affairs. And the harem is related to the previous dynasty, so the affairs of the harem are also state affairs!"

"This is the first time I've heard that the affairs of the harem are also state affairs," Li Jingyi said: "Aiqing, why are the affairs of the harem also state affairs? Does anyone still want to use the harem for profit?"

Master Zhao did not expect that he would suddenly be so sharp. He thought for a while and said: "The main issue is the heir. The emperor's heir is directly related to the next monarch."

Li Jingyi nodded, "I understand."

Mr. Zhao was not sure what he meant by "knowing" for a moment, but it was hard to ask again.At this time Li Jingyi said: "If you have nothing to do, please step aside."

"Yes."

Mr. Zhao bowed and left, and walked down the steps of the imperial study. He looked back at the direction of the imperial study before walking away.He knew that the current emperor had childhood sweethearts with Duke Dingguo's daughter, and the position of the queen would most likely belong to Duke Dingguo's daughter.

It doesn't matter, the emperor will not have only one queen, and even if there is only one, the prince may not be the queen.It depends on each family's ability.

The great benefits of the harem are well understood by the ministers in the court, so many people are eager to send their daughters to the palace.
