After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion

After everyone left, Yun Zhihan took Yun Yan to his room.

"Yan'er, Bai Jin will be your maid for the next few days, so don't be lenient, understand?"

"Ah?" Yunyan was shocked. "Aunt, you are not joking, are you?"

"Of course. Look at my expression. Do I look like I'm joking?"

Yunyan shook her head, "But Jin'er, she will definitely hate me to death."

"She didn't dare."

Yunyan didn't know what Bai Jin was thinking, but she understood it very clearly. This child just needed to be punished, and the hostility in her was not as strong as before.

"Okay, okay." But she didn't understand why her cousin did this?

"Are you curious about the reason why your aunt did this?" Yun Zhihan asked back.

"Ah."

"Because of my limited status as a cousin, I can't give Bai Jin what he wants, but Yan'er can."

"Can I give it? What did my cousin say?"

"Freedom!" Yun Zhihan explained, "She didn't want to marry into the palace, but once the imperial decree is issued, no matter who it is, they have to obey."

"But..." She paused, "My cousin has a selfish desire, which is to take her away when the time is right, and let her take good care of you during this year, which can be considered as repaying you in advance."

"Take her away?" Yunyan was confused. "Where can we go?"

"Don't worry, I'll make arrangements when the time comes. Yan'er, do you know what you are going to do?"

Yunyan shook her head.

"What you have to do is to protect yourself. Only if you are alive can she be free."

"Aunt, Yan'er knows."

Yunyan was grateful to Yun Zhihan from the bottom of her heart. If it weren't for the Xie family, she would never have lived such a comfortable life. Since this was what her cousin and Jin'er were looking forward to, she would definitely keep her promise.

"Good boy, go and get busy. If you want something to eat or something, just let Bai Jin do it. This child has been spoiled and has become a little lawless."

"it is good."

……

A few days later, the imperial court held the Hanlin Academy examination.

Currently, there are more than 150 candidates taking the exam in the Hanlin Academy, and the competition is extremely fierce.

But fortunately, the dates of the Hanlin Academy examinations have always been announced at the last minute, so many people have to prepare for the exam before the battle.

"Yuan'er, how are the preparations going?" Yun Zhihan asked.

In fact, she was not too worried. If it were in modern times, her Yuan'er would definitely be an exam topper.

"Don't worry, mom. I will do my best and won't let my family down."

"Mother, of course I believe you. Tell the servant to prepare the carriage and go there early, so that we don't get caught up in a rush when the time comes."

"Yes, mother, I'll take my leave now."

After Bai Yuan came out of the house, he got on a carriage and went to the examination room.

The examination lasts for one day. During this period, no one is allowed to enter or leave the examination room. Even if you have finished writing the answer sheet in advance, you are not allowed to leave the examination room without permission.

After the exam, Bai Yuan walked out feeling a little disappointed.

Murong Yu knew that today was the Imperial Academy examination, so she waited for him outside.

When she saw his distraught look, she was startled and immediately stepped forward to comfort him, "Brother Yuan, what's wrong with you?"

"Princess, I may have failed the test. There was a big question, and I seem to have missed the key information. I'm afraid I will fail this time."

Seeing that he was in a low mood, Murong Yu quickly comforted him, "Brother Yuan, don't worry. If you didn't perform well this time, there will be another time. I believe you will definitely pass the exam."

Bai Yuan nodded silently. He knew that the princess was comforting him, but he felt very regretful in his heart. He blamed himself for not reading enough books and not understanding the meaning deeply, thus letting down so many people.

On the other hand, after learning that the Hanlin Academy examination was over, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hurried back to the East Palace and opened the secret report written to him by Xia Quan.

However, the moment he opened it, his expression froze. He had not expected that this usually peaceful uncle was actually such a coward and would do such a thing behind his father's back.

He hurried to the Qianqing Palace with the secret report.

"My son, I will meet my father."

"Stand up." The emperor was in poor health and could only half-sitting on the bed. His face was pale and he spoke weakly.

"Thank you, Father. I came here today to report something important to you, Father."

"What's going on?"

Murong Yan handed the secret report in his hand to his father.

The emperor opened it and glanced through it, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"How dare you! Ahem..."

"Father, please take care of yourself."

"This brother of mine is really good at hiding things. When did Yan'er start to suspect him?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, it was Guard Xie who accidentally discovered the suspicious points and informed me of the matter. I then sent people to the fiefdom of the Emperor's uncle."

"Is it Xie Bochen?"

"Exactly."

The emperor did not ask any further questions, but he had a vague feeling in his heart that Yun Zhihan must have been involved in this matter, but that was not important anymore.

The Xie family's move is enough to show that their stance is very clear.

"How is the situation with Prince Fenyang now?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, after your uncle returned to the fiefdom, he has been training his troops more frequently and has repeatedly summoned the generals for secret talks. I think they will take action soon."

"Yes." The emperor nodded, feeling sad in his heart. His most trusted brother had been eyeing his throne for a long time. He was such a failure as an emperor.

"Oh, Father, there is one more thing."

"Say!"

"I learned that when the uncle left, he seemed to have taken several hundred guards with him, more than a dozen of whom were dead."

"What? Is the news accurate?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, there is no conclusion yet, but I feel that we must be on guard. This is enough to show that the people trained by the Emperor's uncle are not only in the dungeon, but also in other places."

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly for me. We must not let his conspiracy succeed."

"Yes, Father!"

"By the way, does the Imperial Academy exam end today?"

"Replying to Father, yes."

"Ah."

The prince saw that his father seemed to be thinking about something, so he asked, "Father, if Xie Shidu is not on the list, what position will you arrange for him?"

"What do you think, Prince? My body can't hold out for much longer. You have to arrange many things properly."

"Father will surely live to be as old as the sky. I, your son, still need your guidance."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Let's get down to business. What kind of position do you think is appropriate for Xie Shidu?"

"Father, I think the Xie family has made great contributions to the court and is loyal. They should be given an important position so that they can share the responsibilities of the court with peace of mind. Therefore, I think the position of Minister of Personnel is feasible."

"Yes, I think so too. However, Bai Yuan is not even 20 years old yet and has already taken such a high position. This will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other ministers in the court. Have you thought of any countermeasures?"

"Your Majesty, I think the court should value ability and vision rather than age. Otherwise, how can new ministers be promoted fairly in the future?"
