Meng Liu wanted to change someone, but she learned about it in Beijing and found that there was really no one better than Gu Zhixing among her peers. King Yi was not bad, but his appearance was far inferior to Gu Zhixing's, and he was a bit older.

He still has a green tea temperament, he might as well be like Gu Zhixing.

Although they are not related by blood, they are brothers and sisters in name. It seems that Gu Zhixing is the most suitable person.

The imperial examination ended soon, and as expected, Gu Zhixing passed the sixth grade. After hearing that Emperor Xuancheng Long Yan was very pleased, he immediately announced that Gu Zhixing would be arranged to enter the Hanlin Academy.

And intends to make her a princess.

At present, the only ones with the same age are An Ning and Yong Ning. Rou Zhaoyi thought it was good. As soon as Emperor Xuancheng showed some interest, she sent someone to check the family background of the Gu family, the declining Qingliu family.

There are only mother and son left in the family. Although Gu Zhixing won the first prize, I don't know how long it will take for him to be promoted to an official position. Such a family is easy to talk about and easy to control. I don't think Gu Zhixing would dare to treat her daughter badly. .

Rou Zhaoyi was satisfied, but Concubine Shu was not satisfied. The Gu family's family background was not worthy of An Ning, and it could not provide any help to the third prince. She still wanted An Ning to marry a high-ranking family so that she could help the third prince.

Concubine Shu was dissatisfied, but Princess An Ning was quite satisfied. She had always been smart. Although the third prince was the elder brother of a compatriot, she had no intention of gambling her whole life for him.

Concubine Shu taught her from a young age to put the emperor's brother first in everything, but people have selfish motives. She has been used to the intrigues in the palace since she was a child. An Ning just wants to find someone with a simple family background to marry and stay away from disputes.

She also knew Concubine Shu's intention to fight for the throne with the third prince, but she did not think that the third prince could ascend to the throne from the beginning. She had tried to persuade and analyze it, but Concubine Shu and the emperor's brother did not listen to her at all, and now the emperor's brother appeared again. That's what happened.

Concubine Shu even regarded her future husband as a life-saving straw for the third prince. Princess An Ning was extremely annoyed, and she had to deal with Concubine Shu on the surface. She had decided to fight for it on her own.

The Ministry of Punishment quickly found out the truth and reported it to Emperor Xuan Cheng.

The matter is simple to say. Yan Jingxian in prison has already confessed. It was just the concubine of the Tai'an Hou family who framed the legitimate daughter. It was a fight between the daughter's family. Who knew that the third prince would suddenly appear in the same room after being poisoned.

The third prince's poison was also found to be a drug from Shu, and in the palace only Concubine Xian was from Shu.

Of the other two maids, the one who identified Concubine Xian is dead. The maid's family knew nothing about the incident. The other maid who identified Wen Ning has also been beaten to death. Her family members were tortured in prison, but From beginning to end, he never changed his confession and insisted that it was the concubine Xian who ordered her.

Emperor Xuancheng estimated that the maid who was beaten to death was bribed by Concubine Xian. She should have wanted to frame Wen Ning at first. Unexpectedly, she could not withstand careful investigation and was exposed.

Wen Ning's temperament used to be the most cowardly, and it was precisely because of her cowardice that Emperor Xuancheng disliked her. Although she had changed a lot now, the emperor still didn't think she could do such a thing. He said that Rou Zhaoyi could do nothing better than The slander against Wen Ning is convincing.

Although this matter did not spread, all the ministers and their families were present at the scene that day. Emperor Xuancheng was deeply embarrassed. He just wanted to end the matter quickly.

Immediately ordered that the title of Xian Fei be revoked and she was thrown into the cold palace.

Rou Zhaoyi and Wen Ning, who were wronged by this incident, were promoted to concubine Rou, and the other was rewarded with something.

Meng Liu was unconvinced when he learned the result.

Therefore, personality is very important, especially in the era of imperial power. The emperor's impression of you determines how big and small matters will be handled in the future. If Meng Liu grew up in this dynasty, she really can't guarantee that the emperor will trust her.

The third prince also woke up. He almost died on the spot when he found out that his power was sluggish in the future. He was not married yet. Who would dare to marry him if word spread about this? ! Fortunately, he had been a womanizer in the past and had left a son outside the palace.

This is also the reason why Concubine Shu didn't go completely crazy.

He also heard that Yan Jinglan, who had embarrassed him, was given to him as a concubine by the emperor. The third prince's face was gloomy. It was conceivable that Yan Jinglan's life would not be easy when he recovered.

Emperor Xuancheng announced two princesses at the same time.

"Come, take a look at this article written by Gu Zhixing!" Emperor Xuancheng sent Jiang Xiangfu to present Gu Zhixing's examination paper to the two of them.

An Ning looked at it carefully, with surprise on his face: "This Mr. Gu has great literary talent, and he truly deserves the title of No. 1 Scholar."

Meng Liu took a quick look at it, but to be honest she didn't understand much. After all, she was a modern person. Although she had received higher education, the ancient eight-part essay was really a headache.

"It's good."

Emperor Xuancheng knew at a glance that this girl didn't understand at all. He still knew his daughter's virtues. There was no need for a woman to read the Four Books and Five Classics, and it was not a big deal.

Emperor Xuancheng said: "You are all old and have reached the age of marriage. Do you know your future husband?"

An Ning's cheeks were red and her voice was as loud as a mosquito: "I don't want a wealthy family, as long as he is devoted to his children."

Emperor Xuancheng nodded in praise. He knew nothing about Concubine Shu's plans. She would give him pillow tips whenever she had free time, and wanted to find a powerful husband for An Ning.

She didn't care that An Ning was already a princess. Why did she have to go to that wealthy family to be angry? Although she had his support, a woman couldn't help herself with many things after getting married. He could help twice at a time and still... Help every time?

By punishing An Ning's husband's family, what good could An Ning gain?

Don’t think that he doesn’t know Concubine Shu’s thoughts, and you can’t see what the third child is like, so why are you still wishful thinking!

Emperor Xuancheng looked at Meng Liu again: "What about you?"

Meng Liu did not have the shyness of women of this era: "You have to have good looks, good character, and good health. It doesn't matter your family background. After all, no one's family is bigger than the royal family, but the family can't be too complicated, and the relatives can't be too difficult to get along with, and it can't be too complicated." Being poor, I can’t live a hard life..."

Emperor Xuancheng looked complicated, you are really not ashamed.

An Ning also stared at Meng Liu in surprise. Meng Liu touched his nose. His request was normal, right? And aren't these requirements tailor-made for Gu Zhixing?

Emperor Xuancheng laughed out loud after thinking about it. This child was finally half as good as him. As a princess, this is what she should do. All the good men in the world should be allowed to be chosen by her daughter at will.

This time when choosing a husband for the princess, he was most satisfied with Gu Zhixing, but he also prepared a lot of additional information about the children of aristocratic families and asked An Ning and Yong Ning to go back and make a good selection.

Meng Liu took the information and returned to the princess's mansion. Although the target was Gu Zhixing, it didn't stop her from looking at other things. She had heard that the princess had many good friends.

"Princess, Your Highness King Yi is here." Cuilian trotted in to announce.

Wing King? What is he here for?

"I'm late. Thanks to the princess's rescue last time, I should have come over to express my gratitude." King Yi walked into the palace with a smile.

Meng Liu remained calm: "King Yi, you are joking. With your status, you will be fine even if I don't take action. My father's love for you is even greater than that of the other royal brothers. How can you not be good at cooking?" A bug."
