Wei Jingyuan already guessed his purpose when he was summoned by Emperor Liu He alone. Since he was summoned by the emperor, even if he knew it in his heart, he still had to pretend to be stupid.After getting Liu He's permission, Wei Jingyuan got up, and the old eunuch who had served the emperor for many years moved the stool for him, which shocked Wei Jingyuan.

"emperor……"

"No problem." Liu He has been in the Northern Dynasty for many years, and it is impossible that he can't even see through Wei Jingyuan's thoughts. This shock is a bit too much, and he is probably very calm in his heart.

"Wei Huiyuan, do you know why I summoned you alone today?" Liu He squinted and smiled while sitting in front of the desk.

Wei Jingyuan hurriedly shook his head, nodded and said: "The grassroots don't know, please ask the emperor to clarify."

Liu He waved his hand, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, your father came to me for the purpose of bestowing the crown prince. He originally thought he wanted to ask for it, but he told me that you don't want to be the prince, but Is there such a thing?"

Wei Jingyuan sneered in his heart, it was really for the sake of his son.

Wei Jingyuan got up, nodded and said: "Returning to the emperor, it's not that the grassroots don't want the title of the son of the world, it's just that the grassroots want to get the opportunity to make contributions through their own efforts. It is the grassroots' original intention to not rely on the shadow of their ancestors to become an official."

It's one thing for Liu He to ask the question clearly, but he still heard these words from Wei Jingyuan's mouth, "I don't think you have such ambitions. If there are more talents like you in the court, I would be very pleased, but it's a pity..."

Wei Jingyuan had already noticed the clues from Liu He's tone, since Wei Guohuai refused to ask for the order, then the position of the son is not worth it; but looking at the emperor's intention, his position as the number one scholar may not be guaranteed, the emperor Liu He was suspicious and thoughtful by nature, even though Wei Guohuai was loyal, he had to be on guard all the time, it was inevitable that there would be side effects, he would not leave the title of No.

Now that the matter has come to this point, we still have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, this way Liu He doesn't need to think too much, everything depends on Wei Jingyuan himself.Wei Jingyuan entered the official career to avoid the bad luck of getting married, and he didn't care if he was the number one scholar, but if he agreed to Liu He, wouldn't it be a waste of a great opportunity to stir up trouble?

Wei Jingyuan sneered in his heart, but his face was still as calm as usual, "Your Majesty, Cao Min thinks that this matter can be decided after the palace examination is announced."

Liu He's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth. After staring at Wei Jingyuan for a long time, he said, "That's fine, just step back first."

Wei Jingyuan saluted and exited the side hall of the court room. After he left, Liu He's smile suddenly faded. When the old eunuch beside him served him tea, he said, "This is a pity."

The old eunuch had followed the emperor for a long time, his heart was clear, and he said with a smile: "The emperor knows things like a god."

Wei Jingyuan's career in the imperial examination ended today. After the imperial examination, he went back to his residence to wait for the news. Ten days later, the imperial examinations were announced. As expected, he just missed the No. [-] Scholar, and finally won the title of Tanhua.In addition, Tang Yuzhong actually won the No. [-] pick, and Wei Jingcun got the second place.

What?The concubine actually won the second place, and the concubine turned out to be Tanhua?It was such a joy.Soon, every corner of Beijing, as long as there were people, knew about it, and everyone took it as a joke, but Tang Yuzhong, who won the first prize, seemed to be ignored.

Since Wei Jingyuan knew it in advance, how could he feel sad because of this kind of thing!Speaking of which, the emperor's method of stirring up trouble is also unique, but...does this Wei Jingcun really have the talent to win the second place?

Facts have proved that Wei Jingcun really has this talent. Since he was a child, he is not as good as Wei Jingyuan in everything. How can he be inferior to others and not work hard when he is full of resentment? Unfortunately, even if he works hard, he can't surpass Wei Jingyuan and Tang Yuzhong. If the emperor hadn't taken care of Yongguo's government to re-rank the top three, then Wei Jingyuan would be the top pick, Tang Yuzhong would be the second, and Wei Jingcun would be the top pick at most.

The list has been released, and no one can return to heaven. Wei Jingyuan sat in the room in the East Wing, holding a wine cup and looking out the window, wondering what state of mind Wei Guohuai and Chen Shi would be at this moment?

Thinking of this, Wei Jingyuan couldn't help sneering.

Two days later, because Tang Yuzhong was temporarily staying in the Yongguo Mansion, and Bangyan and Tanhua were both the sons of Yongguo Duke Wei Guohuai, the congratulators flocked to the Yongguo Mansion one after another.At this point, Wei Guohuai was very troubled, and in the end the old lady made an idea and asked him to hold a banquet in the capacity of Duke Yong to entertain the guests.

On the day of the banquet, Wei Jingyuan got his wish and saw Wang's ugly face. She used to be a concubine, but now she is the second-best biological mother in the court. Even if she is still a concubine, so what, her son is not a bastard. The first son.

Wei Jingyuan was full of smiles, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, but he didn't know that he had already sneered in his heart, if Wang knew what happened in the future, it would be too late to cry, so let her be proud for a while.Compared with Wang's arrogance, Chen's is the complete opposite, full of anger and nowhere to release, these days I don't know how many teacups have been smashed, the hatred in her heart is unknown to others, but Wei Jingyuan has a deep understanding.

No matter how angry Chen was, Wei Jingyuan never went to the main courtyard to comfort her. If one day the matter is over, Wei Jingyuan really wanted to ask her how she would feel when she was calculated by this chess piece.

Wei Jingyuan was so happy when he thought of Chen's angry look.

More and more guests came to congratulate, and those who came had to prepare three generous gifts, some didn't care about it, and some were bleeding from their hearts.Seeing more and more people coming and the pile of gifts getting higher and higher, Wei Jingyuan saw a familiar figure when he was bored.

Recently, Liu Yue has been in the military camp, and it is difficult to see him due to lack of separation skills. Now that he is able to meet Tanhua in high school at this time, I am afraid that he came here on leave.Wei Jingyuan walked in the direction of Liu Yue, approached and saluted, "Why is Your Highness here?"

Compared with those days in Changping Palace, Liu Yue has grown a lot taller, and now he is half a head taller than Wei Jingyuan, perhaps because he is far away from the pampered days in the palace, Liu Yue has become stronger and stronger, and his fair skin has disappeared. The tall and straight figure is a bit more majestic and suave.

Liu Yue was not good at talking in the past, but now that he has been in the military camp for a long time, he has developed the ability to fake smiles.He was looking at Wei Jingyuan with a smile at this time, "There has been nothing in the camp recently, how can I not come to congratulate you now that you are a high school student, so I took leave with General Zhan."

Wei Jingyuan seemed to be relieved, "Jing Yuan is really ashamed to let His Highness come here, it is really neglectful."

Liu Yue smiled and said, "I'm not the only one who came to express my congratulations, the second elder brother is also here." As he spoke, Liu Yue looked towards the gate of the Duke's Mansion, and Wei Jingyuan looked after him. The gift looks very generous.

Wei Jingyuan felt a little unnatural when Liu Gan approached, and slowly clenched his hands hidden under his sleeves. Even though he greeted him with a smile, the boredom and rejection in his eyes had already revealed his true thoughts It's a pity that Liu Qian couldn't see it, but Liu Yue, who was smiling beside him, had already seen everything through.

Liu Gan saw that Wei Jingyuan was completely different, and while he was happy about it, he was also thinking about something secretly.

"I have seen Second Highness."

Liu Gan waved his hand, glanced at Liu Yue while showing a smile, "Isn't the third brother in the camp, why did you have time to come here today?"

Liu Yue nodded and said, "Second brother said that it was my younger brother who took a break from his busy schedule."

"Hmph." Liu Qian snorted coldly, and smiled again when he looked at Wei Jingyuan, "You are now a high school candidate, and you will be able to work together in the imperial court in a short time. I am looking forward to that day."

The ambiguity in Liu Gan's words made many people around feel it, Wei Jingyuan smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly led everyone into the inner hall.The inner hall was overcrowded, these people who came to express their congratulations did not come to congratulate them sincerely, most of them were watching the excitement, who made this a once-in-a-lifetime joke.

Wei Guohuai's complexion is not good tonight, he seems to be preoccupied, just like what the old lady said, the matter has come to an end, and to take a step back, it was all caused by Wei Guohuai, who made him delay going to the emperor to ask for orders, now Instead, the emperor found an opportunity, and this matter can only be regarded as a laughing stock by everyone.

Tang Yuzhong accepted everyone's congratulations before returning to Yingzhou. Although he was the champion, he had to salute when he met Liu Qian, Liu Yue and others, let alone Wei Jingcun, the second best son.At this moment, Wei Jingcun was really happy, the resentment he had held for many years finally found a chance to be released, so what if he was a bastard, he still trampled Wei Jingyuan under his feet.

Wei Jingyuan didn't pay much attention to the eyes of the crowd. Not long after the banquet started, he casually drank two glasses of wine and returned to the East Chamber feeling unwell.

"Master..." Yuan Bao came in with a bowl of hangover tea, "Master's complexion is not very good, why don't you take a rest early after drinking the hangover tea."

Although Wei Jingyuan had a headache for a few glasses of wine, he hesitated for a moment and drank the bowl of hangover tea, and then asked Yuan Bao to help him to rest on the couch, and he fell into a deep sleep soon after closing his eyes past.I don't know what time of night it is, it seems that I can still hear the hustle and bustle of the main courtyard, and the mullioned windows in the house are still open, and the candles are flickering when the breeze blows in. At this time, Wei Jingyuan's head is full of Sweating profusely, his whole body was unbearably hot, his mouth and tongue were dry, and he couldn't help but want to get up and drink tea, but when he squinted his eyes and tried to get up, he realized that he had no strength at this time.

The author has something to say: I originally planned to finish it today, but I was too busy to take over a temporary work task. Fortunately, it was done today, so I can update it with peace of mind.
