"It seems that the eldest princess's teaching level is not good enough." The emperor's tone was suddenly a little playful.

Liu Yuehua must have been scolded by the goddess. Thinking of the trembling look of the future useless emperor, I am proud again.Before the smile had time to float on her cheeks, Liu Yueying's expression suddenly cooled down, and a cold light flashed in her eyes: "Liu Yuehua, teach the rules of the emperor."

As soon as this remark came out, both of us were frightened.

Liu Yuehua responded cautiously, then cleared her throat, her eyes wished to kill me to vent her anger, and her slightly immature tone suddenly rose: "Zhuangyuan Lang, when you enter the palace to see the Holy One, you can't call yourself 'I', but call yourself a 'subject'. See you At that time, without the permission of the Holy Majesty, you are not allowed to raise your head or make small movements without authorization; without the permission of the Holy Majesty, you are not allowed to speak without permission, and you must not speak before the Holy Majesty." She said behind, biting her back molars fiercely.

"I didn't just find out now..." I was a little unconvinced, especially Liu Yuehua's arrogant look, what is she!

"Say it again! Didn't I tell you in the mansion yesterday!" Hearing me muttering in a low voice, Liu Yuehua's true nature was completely exposed, an impatient childish ghost.

"Okay, princess." The emperor stopped him. "Did Zhuangyuan Lang remember this time?"

"Write it down, definitely remember it." I quickly bowed my head.Hey, I'm tired of kneeling, but I dare not move around this time.

When the emperor saw Zhuang Yuanlang this time, he wanted to get acquainted with her first, and then talk about many specific details of her strategy.After being made such a fuss, I lost my mood completely.

"Since that's the case, Zhuangyuan Lang kneel down." I don't want to see this person again.

???

The emperor is going to drive me away?I haven't said anything yet... All my political opinions have been suppressed.He opened his mouth, but still didn't make a sound, and resigned himself to his fate and went out.

"Sister Huang, I really told them all at the Princess Mansion yesterday, if you don't believe me, call Tanhua to come in and try again." Liu Yuehua was very aggrieved, but she didn't dare to go too far.

"Okay, I get it." The emperor didn't want to talk about it anymore.The number one scholar who she and the great scholars of the Hanlin Academy had taken a fancy to turned out to be like this, which made people very angry and very disappointed.

"Then, where is Miss Huang going to put her?"

The queen pondered for a moment, then sipped her tea: "Let's make her a cabinet bachelor."

The cabinet bachelor is from the third grade, so it is quite appropriate for this champion who has just graduated from the official position to say whether he is big or small.

Although the cabinet is located in the palace, they have to enter the palace every day on duty, and they have to see the emperor almost every day, but it is not a matter of the emperor's words to see or not.She is not the only cabinet official, so she will not be called when the time comes.Moreover, such a person who is extremely frivolous and talented is far more likely to cause trouble if he is let go. It is better to let her go closer and restrain her with palace rules, maybe it can smooth her temper.

With such a quick decision, the empress decided after a moment of pondering. Liu Yuehua looked at the imperial sister with even more admiration.

Because I was the first imperial examination champion in the Lingkong Dynasty, the court rewarded me with a big house—of course not as big as Liu Yuehua's, but it was still quite impressive.

In fact, I don't care much about housing. To be precise, I don't care about basic necessities of life.Maybe I have an obsession with the holy ancestor.Bah, bah, bah, the holy ancestor is the name of the temple, now that I have met her real person, I can no longer slander her like this.Sin, sin, my volley emperor.

Closer to home, my former home was a well-known local gentry.After my parents persuaded me many times to no avail, they no longer cared about me. I happened to be soaking in the pile of books every day. Apart from eating and drinking, reading was probably my only goal and hobby.It hurts so much because you know exactly what you want.Fortunately, I came to Lingkong Dynasty.Now that it comes, I will be at peace, but at present, it is useless for me to just read books - there are more serious problems in front of me, and I seem to have no way to solve them by myself.

How to get along with others?this is a big problem.

Yangzhi was so excited after knowing that I won the exam, he hurriedly passed the letter to Master Feige, and I also asked Master's wishes, he said that he didn't want to come to Rongcheng, and it would be more comfortable to take some children to study and practice martial arts in Dongshan.

She simply didn't force him, but Yangzhi didn't want to leave, she was very interested in Rongcheng, the big city at the foot of the emperor.As soon as I accepted the house from the imperial court, she couldn't wait to buy a lot of furniture and decorations with reward silver, filling the Zhuangyuan's mansion to the brim.

I don't care about her much, I just mentioned to her, don't waste too much.She promised swearingly, but the next day she pulled someone in and said that she wanted to build a rockery and dig a pond... Women are really troublesome.

Watching Yang Zhi get along like a fish in water in Rongcheng, I sometimes wonder if I should learn from her how to treat others.

Oh, by the way, after being kicked out by the emperor disheartened last time, I hurriedly memorized all the palace rules.These rules are really different from poems, songs, policies and economics. They are stinky and long, and it is too difficult to memorize.But for the sake of my emperor, I would like to have it.

The next day, the supervisor of ceremonies sent some rewards to my Zhuangyuan's mansion, and announced the imperial decree: I will be made a cabinet scholar, and I will enter the palace immediately.

My career journey is about to start, and I said to Xiaozhi: "Sister, I will be on duty in the palace every day from now on, maybe I don't have enough time to accompany you in the mansion."

"It's okay," the little girl said without being affected at all, "Sister, do a good job and make the emperor happy and reward us with more good things!" Her eyes were shining with the light of desire for money.Hey, she has gotten to know a lot of people in Rongcheng these days, it doesn't really matter if she has me or not...

I stayed in the cabinet for more than a month, and I didn't see the emperor once, so I was very depressed.When I first entered the cabinet, many adults congratulated me one after another, boasting that I, the number one scholar, was rare in the sky and rare in the earth, which made me feel a little bit smug.Later, I gradually took over the business and found that it was much more boring than I thought.

Although the cabinet is in charge of the government affairs of the imperial city, I rarely get in touch with it.I only know that this is a side job of supervising other officials. To put it bluntly, it is to report to the emperor.Any policies formulated by the three provinces must be reviewed by the cabinet and directly responsible to the emperor, so colleagues are summoned by the emperor every day.

Looking forward to the emperor calling me!However, there are only a dozen people in the cabinet, and a month has passed, and this has almost gone through two rounds, and I still don't have my share.The emperor won't forget me here, will he?Just thinking about this possibility makes me sick.

The colleagues who congratulated me at the beginning, and those who made me feel smug, have not paid much attention to me recently.That grown-up named Hu always looks at me with pity, and I don't know why.Recently, only a scholar named Yan Xi would talk to me.

"Master Yang, your current situation is not quite right." She said it seriously.

"Of course it's not right, what's so interesting about these trivial troubles." I shook my brush, unable to cheer up.

"Then what do you want to see?"

"Of course it's a major event! But I don't have access to it at all. It's too trivial—yesterday Lord Ximen Wang's servant stole the horse from the servant's house in the Ministry of Rites, and today Zhang Guanshen in the east robbed the daughter-in-law who failed the exam. What?" He pursed his mouth in frustration.

"I said, you won't offend the emperor." She gloated a little.

"What? Impossible, I have seen the emperor for so long!" I quickly denied it, but I couldn't think of any other reason, so I scratched my head anxiously.

"Pfft," Yan Xi laughed, "Master Yang, has anyone ever said——you're so stupid?"

"What are you talking about, I'm not stupid!" I'm smart, everyone said that I can get fame, and sure enough, I'm the number one scholar.

"Ok, okay, Mr. Yang is not stupid. If Mr. Yang handles the affairs of Daxing, he will definitely be like a fish in water."

I nodded with satisfaction.

"Then can I ask Mr. Yang to help me? Oh, I've been worrying about this for several days. It's really a big problem!"

"Okay, what's the matter?" Nothing can stop me.

She took out a small note from her clothes, which was flat and seemed to be very important, and put it in front of me.

"A few days ago, I found an ancient book in the library at home. There was a couplet written on it, but there was only the upper couplet. This second couplet, I couldn't figure it out after a few days of hard thinking. Lord Yang help me read it. Look~~" She intentionally made her voice high-pitched, like a eunuch.

The note said: The king is successful but difficult to do, since he is the Empress of Yan and Huang.

I was stunned, and an inexplicable emotion came to my heart.It is very difficult to achieve a career, but as a descendant of Yanhuang, you have to face it in order to pass it on from generation to generation.What have I come here to live my whole life for?For the person I have in mind, no matter how difficult it is, I must help her achieve her career as a thousand-year-old emperor.Ambition does not matter lofty, but it must be sincere enough.I picked up my pen and wrote in one go:

The minister does not avoid death, and dares to be the first in the world.

Yan Xi read my second couplet, his eyes flashed, he restrained his playful attitude, and said to me seriously: "You deserve to be the number one scholar, but it's a pity that you want to ruin your talent."

What's wrong with me, everyone's speeches are very strange.

"If you are smarter, you should be very suitable for the emperor." Hey, how am I not smart?

"Thank you Lord Yang for pointing out the maze, this second line is wonderful." She flattered me, "I still have something to do, I have to leave the palace first, Lord Yang approves slowly~" Yan Xi shook his hand at me and went out.

Where I couldn't see it, Yan Xi folded the note in half, and neatly wrote the word "Yang Li" on the back.
