Who would raise a villain as a wife?

Cen Li silently rolled his eyes, pushed him away, and calmly straightened his clothes. If he continued like this, he might want to knock He Yunjing over.

He Yunjing looked at him and smiled, "Your reaction is like that of a scumbag who doesn't recognize anyone after putting on his pants."

Cen Li turned around and glared at him. Who was taking advantage?

He Yunjing smiled even more and raised his hands in surrender. He said nothing more and waited quietly for Cen Li to put his clothes in order before leaving together. He took a stroll in the Imperial Garden and sent him back to the villa outside the palace early the next morning.

A few days later, during the palace examination, He Yunjing sat on a high seat waiting, and soon a group of students arrived in the palace.

After bowing and bowing, He Yunjing stood up and looked at Cen Li in the crowd. He asked him, "Why are you still wearing a veil?"

Cen Li raised his hand helplessly and saluted, "I ate peanuts by mistake and got a rash. I am afraid of disturbing Your Majesty, so I have to cover it with a veil."

He Yunjing understood and nodded without pursuing the matter. He began to go through the procedures of the palace examination. The candidates in this batch were all well-educated and had some ideas. After discussing with a group of ministers, He Yunjing selected another person as the top scorer. After all, the candidate's talent was real, and he couldn't be too partial.

After selecting the runner-up, He Yunjing set his sights on Cen Li, "Take off your veil and see if you are worthy of the third place."

Cen Li sighed calmly, lowered his eyes, raised his hand to take off his veil, and the moment that face appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of some old officials in the court.

Although there were some tiny red spots on her face, they were not serious and could not conceal the surprise and shock that face brought to everyone.

Pei Xiao was the most excited among them. He took a step forward, but stopped abruptly after seeing Cen Li's age and height.

The three members of the Cen family were not there. Cen Li entered the palace at the age of ten, and he saw the corpse with his own eyes. He also checked and found that it was impossible for Cen Li to be alive, and this person could not be related to Cen Li and the Cen family.

He Yunjing also pretended to be surprised and frowned, "Your name is Li Yu?"

Cen Li pursed his lips. This name was changed by He Yunjing. Cen Li is Li Li backwards, just with different characters.

Cen Li nodded in agreement, lowering his eyes and unwilling to look at He Yunjing.

The system looked at the scene and screamed crazily, [This is not how you play role-playing! Host, aren't you embarrassed? ]

He Yunjing did not do that. Instead, he walked down from his high seat with a smile on his face and walked straight to Cen Li. He raised his hand to lift Cen Li's chin and put his fingers on the red dot on Cen Li's cheek.

He Yunjing narrowed his eyes, "This face is really similar."

Cen Li's eyes trembled slightly. This was not in the plan. What was He Yunjing doing?

Cen Li said nothing, and He Yunjing didn't waste any words. He turned around and asked the Ministry of Rites, "Where is this student from? How old is he? Who else is in his family?"

"Reporting to your majesty, Li Yu is from Lijia Village, Anyang County, Qingzhou. He is nineteen years old. His parents died young and he has no relatives at home."

He Yunjing said with an "oh", let go of his hand and said calmly, "Then let's select Tanhua, and make him the Secretary of the Central Secretariat."

The Zhongshu Sheren is equivalent to the county magistrate's legal advisor, and the definition of power is very vague. His main job is to draft imperial edicts and follow the emperor. This is the best and closest official position that He Yunjing can think of at the moment, otherwise he would have to be a eunuch.

Cen Li was also surprised. Wasn't he allowed to realize his ambitions? How did he become a handyman?

He Yunjing didn't care. He waved his hand and sat back down, muttering in a voice that everyone present could hear, "Looks very friendly."

Those who don’t know are completely confused, while those who know don’t know where to start.

As for the relationship between He Yunjing and Jiu Qiansui, it is hard to say whether it is good or bad. When things are good, He Yunjing listens to him in everything, but when things are bad, He Yunjing will do whatever he wants.

However, they couldn't say anything about this position. They had all seen Cen Li's test paper and knew that he was worthy of being a Zhongshu Sheren with his brilliant writing skills. As for his appearance, they didn't dare to guess too much and could only take it one step at a time.

The top three have also been pointed out, and the next step is to post notices and parade through the streets.

After changing into bright red clothes, Cen Li and two others rode on horses and were led through the streets. The streets on both sides were filled with noisy people watching the fun, and there were also many ladies from famous families peeking in from the second floor, looking for husbands.

Cen Li didn't care at all. He was only thinking about how to talk to He Yunjing to change his official position. He wanted to go to the Censorate to supervise all officials. This way he could prevent false accusations and become He Yunjing's eyes to know the specific situation of all officials in the court.

As he was thinking this, something suddenly hit him. Cen Li noticed it keenly and raised his hand to catch it. It was a bright red flower.

Cen Li was stunned. The flower looked very familiar. It was the purse embroidered for him by He Yunjing, and also the flower he saw in his dream.

He clenched his hands and turned to look at the second floor of a restaurant. He Yunjing was sitting on the windowsill, but he was wearing a mask to cover his face, and holding a large bouquet of flowers like that in his hand.

Seeing him come back to his senses and look at him, He Yunjing curled his lips, grabbed the bouquet, shook it, and threw it down.

Cen Li instinctively reached out his hands to catch them. A few petals fell, carrying a special floral fragrance that filled the street.

Many people followed the scent and saw the rose in Cen Li's hand. It was beautiful, fragrant and unique.

I don't know if this was the first thing that happened, but countless things were thrown at me from both sides. There were freshly picked flowers and handkerchiefs embroidered by girls, which were scented with the fragrance of flowers and cosmetics. The young men in the top three were overwhelmed and the scene was extremely lively for a while, accompanied by the booing and laughter of the people.

Cen Li also smiled and turned to look at He Yunjing on the windowsill. Suddenly, wind blew and pulled off the veil on Cen Li's face. Her beautiful face came into everyone's eyes, so beautiful that it was beyond words.

He Yunjing watched from afar and could hear praises for Cen Li's appearance amid the noise.

He Yunjing raised the corner of his mouth. Although he did not win the first place in the imperial examination, he was also the third place. His A Li should be the focus of everyone's attention.

Cen Li failed to catch the falling veil and raised his hand to touch his face. He really had a rash from eating peanuts, so how could it be blown away by the wind? But those sounds, did the red spots disappear?

Cen Li was puzzled, and suddenly he saw a familiar woman in the crowd out of the corner of his eye. She was holding a one-year-old child in her arms, with a half-grown boy beside her, and a well-dressed middle-aged man standing behind her.

Rong Nian looked at the young man on the horse with tears in her eyes, feeling both bitter and relieved. Three years ago, He Yunjing sent someone to tell her that he wanted to perform a play with Cen Li. She didn't know what happened, but she knew she shouldn't cause trouble. However, she heard the news that Cen Li was beheaded a few days later.

She didn't want to believe it, so she kept waiting until He Yunjing sent her the news of peace.

Three years later, she finally saw Cen Li again. With just one glance, she was certain that this year's top scholar was Cen Li, the second son of the Cen family, a young master in Beijing twenty years ago.

This was the life that originally belonged to Cen Li. After twenty years, Cen Li finally got his wish.

Rong Nian was very happy and smiled at Cen Li from afar. He was not so excited that he lost his mind, nor did he have any intention of recognizing Cen Li.

Cen Li was in a trance for a moment. He looked at Rong Nian, whose appearance had completely recovered and who had her own child, smiled slightly, and never looked back.
