After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

Three days later, when the emperor went to court again, his mental state was very different from usual. His eyes were bright and clear, and a smile appeared on his stern face.

It was as if the cold, hard shell had broken.

Xie Yunjie walked out of the court, tidied up the scholar's public quarters, and looked towards the inner palace for a long time in the yard.

A colleague from outside the palace came in and saw him packing his bag neatly. He came over to comfort him and said, "I just heard that Master Xie is going to Linyi to examine the academic affairs. Don't worry, you are still young. You may not lose your position when you come back. The sooner you go, the sooner you will come back."

The emperor was young, open-minded and valued talent, so these new scholars all tried their best to get close to him.

How important is the emperor's favor? It is easier to do things when you have the emperor's favor. But the emperor has no favorites now, so it is time for them to show their talents.

At such an important time, three top scholars should have taken turns to accompany the emperor. Unexpectedly, the young Tanhua winner Xie, who was favored by most people, was suddenly sent to Linyi to examine the academic affairs.

Linyi is so far away that by the time he comes back in two or three months, the day lilies will have gone cold.

No matter how outstanding and enviable a young person is, if he misses the opportunity, there will be only so many good positions and once they are gone, they are gone.

The next time I want to move up, I don’t know when it will be.

For example, if the parents of some young officials happened to die at this time, if they mourned for their parents for two years, there would be no extra positions around the emperor two years later. In order not to hinder their official careers, many families would conceal the death of their parents.

And this young scholar Xie Tanhua is really pitiful. How come such a thing as examining the academicians fell on him at this time?

"Take it easy." The official patted the young man on the shoulder.

Xie Yunjie nodded, "Thank you very much. Goodbye."

Looking at the young man's leaving figure, the official was a little dazed for a moment.

The young Lord Xie used to look better in the blue official uniform than anyone else.

Just as the official was about to leave, another colleague came in with his hands behind his back. He turned around to look at Xie Yunjie's back and sighed, "You are still young after all..."

"What do you mean, Brother Liu?"

"Hey, Brother Gao, you didn't even know that you had taken leave today, but Xie Yunjie actually took the initiative to go to Linyi to investigate the academic administration!"

"Take the initiative!" The official surnamed Gao was shocked. "When did this happen? Doesn't he know? Why would he be needed for such an assignment?"

"We are so eager to be seen before the emperor, but he doesn't care about it at all!"

"You see, he will definitely regret it in a few years. Who is worse than who? Xie Yunjie is not the only talented person in the world! I think this young Master Xie is far inferior to the previous one."

The previous person who was as gentle as jade and had a calm demeanor would never do such a thing.

Another official named Liu sneered, "This one is more thoughtful than the last one! After all, he is young and impulsive, hahahaha."

The Xie Mansion in Yunjing is not far from the imperial city, and all the Xie family members follow Xie Zhihuan's lead.

Xie Yunjie returned to Xie Mansion and bid farewell to Xie Zhihuan.

Xie Zhihuan did not scold him as he had imagined. Instead, he was slightly stunned and said generously, "Work hard when you go there, and try to come back early."

Then he gave some instructions to officials in Beijing about the twists and turns of conducting inspections in other places.

Xie Yunjie kept his eyes lowered and listened.

But in my mind I recalled the obvious satisfaction on the emperor's face as he sat on the throne.

And she just returned to the palace.

Before this, the emperor had not attended court for seven days.

[If it weren't for your elder brother, I would have married the current master. ]

The sun rose above his head, making his whole body hot and sore.

Xie Zhihuan tested him again, and Xie Yunjie answered fluently, with quick thinking and a good sense of the overall situation.

But in fact he was absent-minded, and every question and answer he gave was spoken out of habit, and it was impossible to examine it in detail.

The young man suppressed his depression and bowed deeply to Mr. Xie: "I will remember what you asked me to do. I will always remember your love and care."

Xie Zhihuan added: "Don't panic, you have the Xie family behind you."

Xie Yunjie nodded and bowed deeply again.

As for Xie, although he is not the eldest son of the Xie family, he has been instilled with a strong sense of family since he was a child.

Aristocratic families like theirs have to support each other in order to survive. Therefore, the sense of responsibility of the family has always been on his shoulders and has never been removed.

After his elder brother Xie Yunji passed away early, he could feel the burden on his shoulders became heavier.

The young man, who has always been diligent and quiet, has long regarded the honor and disgrace of the Xie family as his own responsibility.

But after seeing the emperor today, I couldn't help but think of her.

If she walked in front of the emperor every day, he really didn't want to guess whether she was doing well today through another man.

She didn't want to smell the same scent on that man as she did.

What should he call her? Sister-in-law? Or...Mrs. Song?

He imagined countless reasons, saying that she was forced by the emperor, and even thought darkly that she didn't even love her eldest brother.

But she is not.

She frankly admitted that she had loved Xie Yunji, and she was freed and went back to the palace on her own!

He seemed to be able to imagine her and the emperor embracing each other in a passionate and radiant embrace.

"Yun Jie?" Xie Zhihuan called him, "Oh, by the way, your mother is here from Chen County. She came to the mansion today after you went to court. Go and see her."

Matchmakers for Xie Yunjie were as numerous as carp crossing the river, and all the young successful candidates were selected as sons-in-law. In fact, there were already some nobles from the capital who had visited Xie's mansion, but after all, Xie Yunjie was only staying there temporarily, so if anyone wanted to make the decision, his mother had to come.

Madam Xie Jiu came from afar, and Wei should have told Xie Yunjie about this matter, but since Xie Yunji's death, Wei seemed unwilling to contact with other branches of the Xie family, and her temper became more and more eccentric.

Mr. Xie didn't care. If Wei didn't say anything, he would just say it.

Mr. Xie asked about marriage again, and Xie Yunjie replied that it was naturally the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. The girl's family background and talent were all chosen by the elders, and he just had to obey.

What a standard answer.

Mr. Xie felt relieved that he was not influenced by his cousin.

The young man looked serious, bowed and said goodbye, and walked towards the flower hall. There was no sign of the turmoil in his heart.

Ever since Xie Yunjie was chosen as the third place in the imperial examination and appeared in the streets with flowers in his hair, he has become the topic of conversation among countless noble ladies in Yunjing, and they were all surprised and delighted.

The older ones are already married, and they can't help but think of the young Master Xie when they see the demeanor of the Tanhua Lang.

The younger unmarried ones were overjoyed. The previous Mr. Xie was deeply in love with his wife and did not take concubines or maids. It was impossible for him to marry her. But this young Mr. Xie was upright and dignified. When he was not talking, he was quiet and modest, as if he was always listening to the teachings of his elders. Just looking at him made me want to tease him.

The best thing is, he has never been married! He is already 18 years old, and he hasn't even got engaged!

There are generally two reasons for this situation: either the teenager has a bad reputation in his hometown or suffers from a hidden illness, or his parents are very picky and want to wait until their son finishes high school before choosing a spouse of equal status.

It is obvious that Xie Yunjie has an excellent reputation.

That's another possibility...

The girls were all attracted to him. They wondered how handsome and charming he would be when he grew up to be a man... They had to act quickly!

Mrs. Xie came all the way from Chen County just for this matter.

It was a great honor for the Xie family in Chen County that their son won the third place in the imperial examination. You have to know that most of the people in the Xie family in Chen County were there to live in retirement or to have fun, and it had been so many years since such a third place winner appeared. Madam Xie Jiu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

The last time she came to the Xie Mansion in Yunjing was almost twenty years ago. At that time, she had just married Xie Jiulang. When she came to Yunjing to recognize her relatives, she was shocked by the grandeur of the Xie Mansion in Yunjing.

Now, almost twenty years later, her son finally brought her here again.

What a great son! He is not mediocre like his daughter, nor is he playful like his father. He has been diligent and studious since he was young.

As I was thinking about this, I saw the young man lower his head slightly and walk in, holding up the green hem of his official uniform.

"Mother."
