III Jiangshan

Although Mo Chi was disturbed by Yuan Youqi's actions, he calmed down quickly, and calmly finished his lunch one bite after another, as if he didn't notice any difference between hers and others'.

She never responded to Yuan Youqi's gaze from the beginning to the end, even though she knew very well that Yuan Youqi would glance at her position whenever he got the chance.

The only thing that makes Mochi feel a little relieved is that at least this time, Yuan Youqi did not abolish the public for personal reasons——

The eight reading ministers, including the officials on duty, as well as Liang Shao'an and other guards, all received lunch from the emperor.

The so-called "hands are short, eating people are short", these people ate the lunch given by the emperor, even if they disagreed with the emperor's behavior of treating the female candidates in the imperial examination this time, they were not ashamed to question them.

After all, they themselves have been treated favorably, so they won't be invigilating the exam on an empty stomach.

After the ink pool was used up, the little inner supervisor picked up the leftovers and utensils, just as he did with other dishes.

Mochi still held the pen calmly, finishing the unfinished examination paper in one go.

It was really done in one go, because she already had a plan in her heart.

However, not everyone is as calm as Mochi.Everyone has their own ulterior secrets, and every family has a hard-to-recite scripture.How to deal with this secret and how to recite this sutra depends on one's ability and personality.

After the palace examination was over, Guan Jin left the gorgeous and elegant Xuanhua Palace that she could not even imagine in her dreams, and was led out of the Forbidden Palace, and returned to her small courtyard near the suburbs of Beijing.

From the majestic power center of the Wei Dynasty to a half-old small house in the suburbs of Beijing, this kind of gap is not ordinary, it can be called a world of difference.But not only firewood and rice in the capital are ridiculously expensive, even ordinary rented houses are more than two or three times more expensive than those in the suburbs of Beijing.

Guan Jin's family was barely able to get by. Although she was not in a tight spot, she rented this small yard based on the principle of saving a little.In fact, it’s not far from the middle of Beijing, so don’t snooze in the morning, get up an hour earlier, wash up, and walk to the gate of the city, just in time for the gate to open.

Guan Jin is very contented.

Thinking that she had entered the palace examination, even if she failed, she would be able to return to her hometown and at least win a teaching position in her school, she felt more at ease.

Someone once praised her for her good knowledge, but she herself did not have much confidence.She is very self-aware and realizes that this may have something to do with her family background: children born in small families are always inferior to children from everyone or even aristocratic families, and they are born with a sense of vigor.

She wasn't very confident, and she wasn't very courageous, but after going through that incident, she was even more frightened, for fear that she and her parents and family would be involved.However, the more afraid of something, the more something.

In the palace examination, she didn't expect the emperor to come in person, let alone this man who just let her experience "the wrath of the emperor" not long ago would suddenly appear in front of her.

Guan Jin was about to die of fright, his hands and feet didn't look like his own, somehow he pushed the half-filled inkstone to the ground, and it was broken into pieces, and the ink inside was even more solid Splash on the emperor's clothes and boots.

Guan Jin's heartbeat was so frightened that at that moment, there was only one thought in her mind: It's over!

Not only is her future over, her life may also be over.

However, the development of things was completely beyond her expectation.

Not only did the emperor not blame her at all, but he also praised her very strangely, and even gave her pen and ink, an inkstone, and even the scroll paper that was stained by the splashed ink. The emperor ordered the waiter to give her a new one. of.

Until the moment he got the new roll, Guan Jin's mind was still blank.

She couldn't remember how she sharpened the ink, how to polish the pen, and how to answer the paper.As for what was written in the paper, she couldn't remember anyway, it seemed that the person who answered the paper at that time was not herself at all.

Now, when I recall all the things at that time, it seems like a dream.

But the inkstone, ink sticks and pens given by the emperor on the table reminded her brightly that everything was not a dream.

Now, two full days have passed since the palace examination, and Guan Jin's brain is still numb.

In the past two days, like all those who have survived the catastrophe and survived the catastrophe, she was unwilling to eat, and always involuntarily thought of the scene of the palace examination that day.

The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became.

However, she was afraid of returning home, she knew that she had passed the palace examination anyway.As for the outcome, that is not something she can decide.

She thinks what she should be most grateful for is the emperor's kindness!

Kindness?This kind of image is completely different from the evil spirit who took away my uncle's official career, right?

"Girl! Girl!" An old and flustered voice broke into Guan Jin's ears following the sound of the owner running.

"Uncle Zhen? What's the matter? Why are you panicking?" Guan Jin looked at the other party with different eyes.

Uncle Zhen is an old servant of her family. He served her father by his side when his family was prosperous in the past.Later, the family fell into poverty, and he refused to leave.This time, he was worried that Guan Jin would go to Beijing alone to take the women's exam, so he insisted on following her to take care of her.

"Girl! There is a guest who insists on barging in to see you, and he brought two..."

Before Zhen Bo could finish his sentence, a man in his fifties in crisp robes had already barged in.Behind him, there were two tall, muscular men with cold expressions.

"You, who are you... Who are you?" Guan Jin's temper was already easy to be nervous, but seeing the other party barging in so loudly, he felt even more frightened.

The leading man looked haughty, narrowed his eyes, scanned the surrounding environment, and finally landed on Guan Jin's face, and clasped his fists: "Miss Guan, right? I'm being polite!"

Although he said "polite" in his mouth, he didn't show any polite behavior.

"Your Excellency, who... who is it? Why are you looking for me?" Guan Jin staggered and insisted.

At the same time, he stopped Zhen Bo who wanted to rush forward to argue with them.The capital is so rich, who knows where this group of people came from?Guan Jin still understands the truth that a hero does not take immediate losses.

The man snorted and said proudly: "My surname is Wei, and I want to establish friendship with Miss Guan."

Duke of Wei.

Wei Zhouyang was wearing a homely robe, leaning on the back of his chair and sipping tea in a leisurely manner.

Standing in front of him was the domineering and proud man in Guan Jin's family, but at the moment his face was full of respect and humility.

"What about the surname Guan?" Wei Zhouyang asked slowly.

The man hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "The villain is just according to your order, the son of the world, the man surnamed Guan just listened nonchalantly, as if he was frightened."

"I'm from a small family, and I haven't seen the big world. How can I have courage? I'm afraid I'm going to be scared out of courage!" Wei Zhouyang sneered disdainfully.

He put half a cup of tea on the table next to him, and said calmly: "There is no rush. Just let her know at this moment, and there is no news from His Majesty! If she fails, don't count on her."

"Yes! The son of the world is planning a strategy!" The man said flatteringly.

Wei Zhouyang laughed at himself when he heard the words, and thought how great it would be if these words were said in another person's mouth!

He was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses immediately, and said to the man: "Is there any new news from the inner court guards?"

The man thought for a while and said: "The villain has inquired and got the real news. There was Fang Shi who accompanied His Majesty to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice that day!"

"Fang Shi..." Wei Zhouyang's pupils shrank slightly, "We passed by the academy that day, and it was the day when we would take the exam, and the one we saw from a distance, isn't that the boy?"

"It's him!" The man agreed.

Wei Zhouyang laughed: "I even disguised myself! I really regret it. Why didn't I think about it for a while and didn't get close to the alley to see what kind of tricks His Majesty is hiding?"

Hearing this, the man hurriedly shut his mouth tightly, not daring to answer.

"At Zongzheng Temple, can we find an opportunity?" Wei Zhouyang changed the subject and asked again.

The man showed dismay, shook his head and said, "Zongzheng Temple has extremely strict controls, and the younger ones have no chance to find out any news about King Jing... cough... Yuan Chun."

Wei Zhouyang glanced at him lightly, then withdrew his gaze, and said quietly: "Prince Ning is really cute! So, what about Yun Xuguan? Any news?"

"Yunxuguan?" The man was stunned, "But... the eldest princess has left Yunxuguan and went to Yunyou..."

"Who asked you to find the eldest princess!" Wei Zhouyang raised his voice.

The man was dumb, and muttered: "This... villain is stupid..."

"That's all! You go down first!" Wei Zhouyang waved his hand impatiently.

The man had no choice but to salute and retreat for the time being.

He retreated to the door, and suddenly saw Wei Zhen standing behind the door, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Miss!"

"Uncle Zhong." Wei Zhen nodded towards him.

Watching him walk away, Wei Zhen stepped into the house.

"Father sent Uncle Zhong to see Guan Jin?" Wei Zhen asked after bowing to Wei Zhouyang.

"Have you heard it all?" Wei Zhouyang didn't intend to hide it from her, "You also heard about the palace examination the day before yesterday."

Wei Zhen suddenly became nervous: "Could it be that His Majesty is really thinking about that Guan Jin? How is it possible! How could His Majesty have a crush on that kind of woman!"

Wei Zhouyang frowned, stopped her impatiently and said, "Who said His Majesty has taken a fancy to her?"

"But Your Majesty..."

"Zhen'er, can you stop thinking in that direction whenever you mention a woman!" Wei Zhouyang said bitterly.

Wei Zhen's face became hot, and he lowered his head uncomfortably.

"But my daughter... My daughter just can't see her being nice to other women!" She said, feeling very wronged in her heart.

Wei Zhouyang couldn't let go of his frown, he looked at her tangledly, and said, "You have to be clear, you are not just an ordinary concubine! If we have a queen mother, we can have another one! Even... ...Even if you become the empress of Great Wei in the future, it is unknown!"

Wei Zhen's eyes brightened immediately: "Father, do you mean that my daughter can really be her queen in the future?"

She, she, she!Half a sentence can't be separated from her!Wei Zhouyang was annoyed.

"The right time, the right place, and the right people are all satisfied, so you will naturally be the queen!" Wei Zhouyang said.

"Then father, tell your daughter how to satisfy the right time, place and people!" Wei Zhen became excited.

Wei Zhouyang felt that even if his daughter was a concubine, she might not be able to look further and further.If Webster wanted to go further, he was afraid that he would need more.

He sighed silently, stood up, closed the door and windows tightly by himself, and after confirming that there was no one around, he turned around, stared at Wei Zhen and said, "Zhen'er, what happened to you?" , Father Wei has already told you, and the pros and cons of it have been broken up and told to you. Now you are going to tell Father the truth, do you really not care?"

Wei Zhen thought his father was so careful, and his tone was so serious, he shook his head, suddenly realized what his father was asking, and immediately added a little more enthusiasm, half shy and half decisive: "Daughter's determination has already been made." Get off! Whether she is a man or a woman, or anything else, my daughter doesn't care! My daughter only thinks she looks good!"

The corners of Wei Zhouyang's mouth twitched hard, thinking what "even if it's something else"!

In fact, he really wanted to growl in his heart: Daughter, don't you just think she looks good and don't care about anything else?

However, there is no need to ask these words now. Wei Zhen is the one who is determined not to repent.

Wei Zhouyang then took a deep breath, and said the most important words in his heart to Wei Zhen word by word: "Zhen'er, since you have said so, you must always remember what you said today as a father. : The matter of her daughter's body is her life's handle. You must hold it firmly in the palm of your hand!"
