After sleeping with his mother for a whole night, Baozhuzhu woke up feeling refreshed, and even the air was filled with the scent of happiness!

"Mom, it smells so good!"

"The bed smells so good!"

"The pillow smells so good!"

"What about your father?"

Banxia asked as she dressed the little guy.

The little guy's face darkened: "Stinky daddy."

Banxia chuckled.

Baoshu put on her tiger-toe shoes, climbed out of bed, and gave everyone in the yard a small candy!

Lu Yuan finished reading and came out of the study.

Although he looked as aloof and majestic as usual, he rewarded each person with an ingot of gold as soon as he made a move.

An ingot of gold, can you believe it?

Nanny Wan's eyes lit up: "Master!"

Is this a reward? No, this is clearly a fee for changing one's words!

Miss, I'm sorry, from now on, I will call you Madam in my heart!

Bao Zhuzhu's limelight was stolen, so he waved his chubby hands and punched his scumbag dad fiercely!

Meng Qianqian returned to the courtyard after practicing. Looking at the father and daughter who were battling with wits and courage, she smiled knowingly and walked up to them and asked, "Aren't you going to court today?"

Lu Yuan held the unfilial daughter back and said nonchalantly, "Oh, it doesn't matter if you go later."

Baozhuzhu fluttered his feet and said, "Mom! Mom!"

Meng Qianqian stretched out her hand and curled the corners of her lips: "Give it to me."

Lu Yuan handed the little guy to Meng Qianqian, and just when the little guy was about to be hugged by his mother, he ruthlessly picked him up and took him away.

Bao Zhuzhu's fur exploded like crazy: "Ahhh! Stinky daddy!"

He was joking and she was laughing.

Meng Qianqian smiled and went into the house to take a shower and change clothes.

Yu Li was walking in the small garden and reciting his lessons.

"'The way of utmost sincerity can predict the future. When a country is about to rise, there will be auspicious signs; when a country is about to fall, there will be evil.'"

He turned around and saw Lu Yuan passing by on a path not far away, holding the angry little kid.

He shook his head suddenly, "No, no, no, my brother-in-law is not a monster!"

He turned around and continued to carry it down.

However, after this interruption, I couldn't remember what happened next.

“See…see…”

He was extremely worried.

A slow and steady voice came from afar: "'See it in the yarrow and tortoise shells, and move your four limbs. Good or bad fortune is about to come. Good will be known in advance; bad will be known in advance. Therefore, sincerity is like a god.'"

Yu Li turned around and looked at Lu Yuan, and asked in disbelief: "Sister, brother-in-law... have you also memorized the Four Books?"

Baoshu looked at her uneducated and unskillful father with a bewildered look on her face.

Lu Yuan didn't say anything, but looked at the morning light with a firm gaze.

The haze had long been integrated into his flesh and blood. If he wanted to get out of the haze, he had to endure the pain of scraping bones and cutting flesh.

But he still took the first step resolutely.

The family had breakfast with the old lady in Tinglan Courtyard.

Lu Yuan went to court, and Meng Qianqian went to the Ministry of Justice.

Ji Li and Si Snake's suspicions were ruled out, but Chen Long and Wei Yang now work for the Prime Minister, and Hai Zhu betrayed the Prime Minister. Although there was no evidence, the two of them were still detained in the Ministry of Justice as suspects.

Cold weather.

Meng Qianqian went to bring some warm clothes to her brother.

If she was just going to see Chen Long, she would bring Bao Shu with her, but she would have to go to the palace to ask to see the emperor later.

"Mom is gone, auntie leaves it to you."

"Baby, I will take care of you, Auntie."

Bai Yuwei lifted up the little guy and said unhappily, "Who asked you to take care of him?"

Bao Shu touched Bai Yuwei's head in a condescending manner and said, "Be good."

Bai Yuwei: "..."

-

In the court, Minister Xing reported to the emperor the progress of the Chu family case.

"Haizhu has confessed his crimes. He was the one who poisoned Marshal Chu and sent the Twelve Guards away. The tragedy of the Chu family has nothing to do with Madam Chu. Madam Chu was wrongly accused."

"The former crown prince was one of the masterminds, but he was also deceived. There is someone else behind the scenes."

"The King of Chu is the biological son of the Emperor, your Majesty's elder brother."

Every time Minister Xing revealed a truth, there would be gasps in the Golden Palace.

No one expected that the Chu family case involved so many shocking secrets.

Mrs. Chu saved lives and healed the wounded at the border and had performed countless merits, but she was forced to endure injustice for nearly seven years.

The King of Chu is actually a prince. If he and the Grand Marshal of Chu were still alive, one can’t imagine how solid the imperial power of the Zhou Dynasty would be.

But unfortunately, the former crown prince was instigated by a villain and committed an irreparable mistake.

General Zhou took a step forward, holding the tablet in his hand, and said indignantly: "The person behind the scenes disrupted our government and harmed our pillars. His heart is worthy of death, and it cannot be redeemed even with death!"

He was not so tough before, but ever since his daughter entered the palace, whether for his daughter or for the Zhou family, he could no longer be too cautious.

Of course, he spoke from the bottom of his heart.

The tragic loss of the Chu family is a misfortune for the entire court and even for the entire Great Zhou.

Each family has its own camp and they have been deceiving each other in every dynasty. But when they targeted the Chu family, it aroused the anger of all the officials.

Civil and military officials all requested that the real culprit be arrested and severely punished.

Lu Yuan looked at Prime Minister Xun, who was at the head of all officials.

There was nothing unusual on Prime Minister Xun's face, but Lu Yuan noticed that his right hand touched the thumb of his left hand.

There should have been a jade ring here, which he only wore when he was at home.

And only when he encountered something beyond his control would he subconsciously touch the jade ring.

Godfather, you didn't expect the case to go so smoothly, did you?

At the same time, you also underestimated the status of the Chu family in the eyes of all officials.

Those court officials who followed your lead were now all sincerely feeling sorry for the Chu family.

One day, when they know that you are the real murderer who killed the Chu family, will they still be willing to work for you?

Zhaoming Palace.

The emperor was playing chess with someone.

After listening to Eunuch Fu's report, the Emperor placed a white chess piece: "The case is progressing so quickly, and your Governor's Office has made an indelible contribution."

Meng Qianqian dropped the black piece and said calmly, "It's all thanks to my husband."

The Emperor smiled and asked Eunuch Fu, "What did Lu Yuan say?"

Eunuch Fu said, "The Grand Commander requested that Madam Chu be vindicated by announcing to the world, and His Majesty agreed. In addition, His Majesty intends to posthumously confer the title of First-Rank Imperial Consort on Madam Chu, and the Grand Commander proposed... to posthumously confer the title of Marquis of Zhenguo."

Meng Qianqian was slightly stunned.

The emperor was quite surprised: "Marquis Zhenguo, the first female marquis in this dynasty, is he friends with Madam Chu?"

Eunuch Fu looked at Meng Qianqian.

Obviously, the emperor was asking the latter.

Meng Qianqian calmed down and replied, "Xiaojiu doesn't know."

She had nothing to do with Lu Yuan in her previous life, but Lu Yuan suddenly asked for a title of female marquis for her. Could it be that he saw that she was...

impossible.

The Emperor Emeritus sighed, "You two are really good at giving me problems. One of you wants to make a female marquis, and the other wants to add a special examination. I am the Emperor Emeritus, not a wishing tree."

Meng Qianqian said seriously: "When I treated you for the disease, you promised to give Xiaojiu a favor. The wedding of the emperor and empress is a time for celebration throughout the world, and a general amnesty can be granted. Instead of pardoning the guilty, it is better to promote innocent people. There was a precedent in the previous dynasty when the Enzu Emperor held a special examination for his 70th birthday."

The Emperor said, "You also said it was the previous dynasty."

Meng Qianqian said: "You are a wise ruler, and you never joke."

The Emperor: "This is too big a matter."

Meng Qianqian, who was originally sitting on the futon, moved to the side and knelt on the ground devoutly: "Please ask the emperor to set up a special examination!"

The emperor sighed helplessly: "Why do you insist on doing this? If you want someone to be an official, just recommend him to me and I will give him an official position."

Meng Qianqian said solemnly: "Xiaojiu does not want an official position, Xiaojiu wants fairness, he wants black and white to no longer be reversed, he wants right and wrong to no longer be confused, and he wants all the students in the world to no longer be hidden in the dark!"

The emperor felt an extraordinary firmness in Meng Qianqian.

He weighed the black piece in his hand and said, "You are one of the twelfth guards of the Chu family. You should take the affairs of the Chu family as your top priority. I ask you, if you want to ask for the title of female marquis for Madam Chu or to add a special examination, you can only choose one..."

"Please ask the Emperor to set up a special examination!"

Meng Qianqian was decisive and did not hesitate at all.

The emperor was silent for a long time.

The hall was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard.

Eunuch Fu didn't dare to breathe.

Although the retired emperor loves Madam Lu, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, and his kindness and power are only a matter of thought.

It is Bodhisattvas who do not kill, not emperors.

The emperor suddenly smiled and said, "Get up. If you knock your head and it gets swollen, the old lady will be distressed when she sees it later."

Eunuch Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Qianqian raised her head: "Did you agree?"

The emperor smiled and said, "Your request is too great. I can agree to it, but you have to do three things for me."

Meng Qianqian quickly held up three fingers: "We agreed that there are only three!"

The Emperor said with a sigh, "Shouldn't you have said, 'Let alone three pieces, even three hundred pieces would be no problem'?"

Meng Qianqian muttered, "Xiaojiu is so stupid."

Seeing her childish side, Eunuch Fu also smiled.

The Emperor said: "The first thing is to take good care of the old lady."

Meng Qianqian said: "You don't need to tell me, Xiaojiu will take good care of my great-grandmother, but this is one thing, and I'm not kidding!"

The emperor laughed angrily, pointed at her, and said to Eunuch Fu: "Look at this girl, she won't suffer any loss at all."

Eunuch Fu smiled and said, "I am like the old lady, smart."

The emperor liked what he heard, and he continued, "The second thing is to find a husband for Wan Ping that she will be satisfied with."

Meng Qianqian choked.

"As for the third thing, I haven't thought about it yet, so I'll count it as your debt. As long as you complete the first two things, it will count as well."

The first thing is easy to do, and the third thing does not need to be done for the time being. In other words, what she really needs to do is the second thing - Princess Wanping's marriage.

"If you can get it done, when the Chu family case is closed, it will be the day to add the special examination."

Meng Qianqian opened her eyes wide: "Didn't we say three things? Why did you include the Chu family's case? If the case can't be closed, will there be no chance of opening the Enke?"

Sure enough, it is not so easy to take advantage of the emperor.

Aren’t these still three conditions?

The Emperor sighed with regret and said, "It seems that you don't agree--"

Meng Qianqian said bitterly, "Promise, promise!"

The Emperor said, "You are responsible for finding a consort for Wanping, and Lu Yuan and the Ministry of Justice will solve the case. You two have a clear division of labor, so it won't be difficult!"

Meng Qianqian turned away and muttered resentfully, "You have made all the arrangements very clear, but where can I find a consort for your daughter?"
