In the mansion of Marquis Zhaoping, there is Fujin Courtyard where Cheng Daniu and Wang live.

Wang carefully helped Cheng Wan apply the ointment, blowing gently on Cheng Wan's forehead from time to time.

"Does it hurt?"

Cheng Wan kneaded Gu Yu's chubby little hands and smiled: "It doesn't hurt."

"It would be strange if it didn't hurt!" Old Mrs. Lin frowned, her eyes full of heartache: "Do you think your head is a rock? How much strength did you use to knock your forehead into this state?"

"what is this?"

Cheng Wan raised his chin, and his forehead rubbed against Wang's hand. He couldn't help but let out a hiss, and then he didn't dare to move again.

"I thought I was going to be beaten with a stick, but now it's just a bump on my forehead, it will be fine in two days."

Hearing Cheng Wan say this, Old Lady Lin sighed and said, "The emperor has been very kind to our family. Ah Wan, you must be loyal to the emperor in the future and share his worries."

Wang and Cheng Daniu also echoed.

Cheng Wan's eyebrows curved: "I know."

She will naturally be a good official and a good minister!

To reassure her family, Cheng Wan took Gu Yu and Xu Zhinian back to Shaoguangyuan where she lived.

"Niannian, after what happened today, I should be able to take you with me when I return to the officialdom."

During the time that Cheng Wan was on duty at the Ministry of Personnel, he did not bring his deputy Xu Zhinian with him.

It was a strange environment with strange people. Cheng Wan hadn’t figured out the depth of the situation yet, so she really didn’t dare to take Xu Zhinian with her to work.

She was afraid that if something happened, she wouldn't be able to protect Xu Zhinian.

Xu Zhinian sat down next to Cheng Wan, his face bright and cheerful:

“During this period, you told me about the people and things you encountered in the officialdom, and took me to see the Crown Princess.

Ah Wan, this trip to the capital has broadened my horizons and increased my knowledge. I am really satisfied in my heart."

Xu Zhinian took Cheng Wan's hand and smiled at her: "Ah Wan, my life has changed a lot because of you. You don't know how grateful I am to you."

Cheng Wan stretched out his other hand and touched Xu Zhinian's forehead: "You're not sick either."

Xu Zhinian: “…”

"Why are you saying thank you to me? And why are you suddenly being so formal? I'm a little flustered."

As he spoke, Cheng Wan hugged Gu Yu tightly in front of him, pretending to be scared.

Gu Yu, this little man, cooperated very well and buried his head in front of Cheng Wan, saying in a baby voice: "Sui Sui is also panicking."

"Don't panic, Wanwan will protect you!"

"Sui Sui also protects Wan Wan!"

Two actors, one big and one small, began to act.

Xu Zhinian: “…”

Xu Zhinian patted Cheng Wan's shoulder unhappily: "I miss home. When are you going back to Liangzhou? If you don't go back before the New Year, I will go back by myself first."

"After I finish reflecting on my mistakes, we will return to Liangzhou."

"Really?!" Xu Zhinian's eyes lit up with surprise.

Cheng Wan picked up Gu Yu and let the little kid sit sideways on his lap, his voice was full of laughter:

"I originally thought that I would not have time to go back to Liangzhou before the New Year, and I was thinking of sending someone to Liangzhou to bring my second uncle and his family to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.

But now the situation has changed. The emperor has allowed me to stay at home to prepare for the exam, which is equivalent to giving me a long vacation. So I might as well go back to Liangzhou before the New Year. I have to take the exam in Liangzhou next year anyway."

......

Normally, the days of reflection behind closed doors should be quite torturous, but Cheng Wan's days of reflection behind closed doors were extremely fulfilling and enjoyable.

Cheng Wan gets up early and goes to bed late every day. During the day, apart from reading and memorizing books, he eats and sleeps.

No one bothered her.

Even Gu Yu understood after Wang's careful explanation that Cheng Wan was doing something very important, so he spent most of his time just staying with Cheng Wan, quietly playing with his various toys.

Cheng Wan was preparing for the imperial examination, and Old Lady Lin and the others could not help much. They could only take care of the trivial matters in the mansion and prevent Cheng Wan from being distracted by other things.

In addition, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wang would watch over the kitchen every day and prepare delicious food for Cheng Wan in different ways.

A month later, Cheng Wan not only did not lose weight, but gained weight instead.

"Oh, look at this little face, look at this complexion, it makes people happy just by looking at it!" Old Mrs. Lin looked at Cheng Wan, smiling happily and clenched her hands lightly.

Wang helped Cheng Wan adjust his cloak, turned to Cheng Wan, and helped Cheng Wan straighten his collar. She looked up at Cheng Wan's face and said with a smile, "You have a little more fat on your face. The servants in the kitchen should also get some money. They have done a good job."

Cheng Wan reached out and pinched his face.

It feels really good.

"Grandma, Dad, Mom, I'm going now. If you leave the house, be sure to bring more servants with you. Also, don't go to places where there are few people."

Cheng Wan was worried that someone would be so stubborn as to harm Old Lady Lin and others.

Old Lady Lin and the other two nodded quickly. Cheng Daniu looked at Cheng Wan with a loving gaze and said, "We've made a note of it. You should go quickly. It's almost time to adjourn the court."

Cheng Wan went to the palace and knelt down to the emperor to resign.

I am about to leave the capital and return to Liangzhou. If the exam goes well, I will probably return to Beijing in the second half of next year.

The time span is so long that Cheng Wan has to take the initiative to go regardless of whether the emperor cares about her kneeling resignation or not.

Moreover, Cheng Wan entered the palace not only to kneel down and bid farewell to the emperor, but Luo Fanjin was in the East Palace as the Crown Princess.

She was leaving, so she had to say goodbye to Sister Luo.

……

Jiaotai Hall.

Cheng Wan knelt down before the emperor and said in a clear voice, "Your Majesty, I will be leaving for Liangzhou soon, and I have come to bid you farewell."

"I know, get up."

The emperor's voice was calm and his eyes were always on the memorials.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor put aside the memorial he had just reviewed and looked up at Cheng Wan.

The next moment, the emperor's eyes moved slightly and he curled his fingers unconsciously.

Her skin is as white as jade, her cheeks are slightly pink, and her lips are rosy.

Especially a pair of clear and bright eyes is the most touching beauty.

This man exudes a vitality and energy from the inside out that is incompatible with this palace.

The emperor raised the corners of his lips slightly, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes.

He asked this man to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors, and the more he reflected, the better his condition became.

"Marquis Zhaoping, please don't let me down."

Cheng Wan quickly bowed his head and said in a firm voice: "I will do my best not to let the emperor down."

"Go back."

"Wei Chen retire."

Cheng Wan bowed, took three steps back, then turned and left the hall.

The emperor watched Cheng Wan walk further and further away, and the darkness in his eyes became darker and darker.

Until Cheng Wan's back could no longer be seen, the emperor withdrew his gaze, looked around the hall, and chuckled.

Forget it...

Those eyes are most beautiful when they are shining...

Cheng Wan didn't know that she had safely escaped the danger of becoming the emperor's concubine again. After she came out of Jiaotai Hall, she went straight to the East Palace to say goodbye to Luo Fanjin.
