marry a tyrant

"Little nerd, don't make me sad, give me a smile." Xu Zhao picked Liu Jin's chin with the hilt of his sword, and Liu Jin turned his head to avoid it.

"Don't be presumptuous." Liu Jin frowned and said, the three-day scientific examination was not easy for him,

What saddened him the most was that as soon as he left the examination room, the princess sent Xu Zhao to pick him up. He couldn't even say goodbye to the Liu family who also came to see him.

Liu Jin knew that his current situation was no different from being a hostage, but all this was a disaster for him.

Xu Zhao squeezed over and smirked: "What's wrong with my presumptuousness? Little nerd, you still can't recognize your situation. The Liu family sent people to harm you, and you still want to go back?"

Liu Jin's eyes were gloomy: "That may be the second and third uncles, and it has nothing to do with my grandfather."

Xu Zhao sneered: "It's your grandfather who values ​​you, that's why you became the target of public criticism, so it has nothing to do with him."

Liu Jin has always admired Liu Zheng since he was a child. Liu Zheng was very successful as the Chancellor of the two dynasties.

"You go out." Liu Jin got up and pointed at the door and said seriously.

Xu Zhao raised his eyebrows, it was already dark, but he didn't intend to leave so easily, he hadn't had enough fun yet.

"Get out, this is my senior sister's mansion, you have no right to ask me to go out." Xu Zhao raised his feet and leaned on the chair.

Liu Jin hadn't even eaten a mouthful of food since he came back, and as soon as he stood up abruptly, his eyes began to turn black. In addition, Xu Zhao was angry with him, his feet were unsteady, and he fell straight down.

Xu Zhao caught him, the smile on his face disappeared, he picked him up and put him on the bed: "Hey, nerd, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Jin looked uncomfortable, his eyes were closed and his face was pale, Xu Zhao immediately called the doctor.

After the doctor saw it, he said that Liu Jin was not strong enough, and he could just eat something. Xu Zhao thought it was a serious problem, and immediately felt that Liu Jin was pretending to be sick.

Liu Jin woke up after lying on the bed for a while, but his body was still weak and his stomach was growling with hunger.

Xu Zhao walked over with a grim expression, lifted him up and said, "You've learned how to pretend to be sick."

"I didn't, let me go." Xu Zhao mentioned him like a cat, which made Liu Jin very angry.

Lifting the person to the seat, Xu Zhao asked the servants to serve the food, then stared at Liu Jin with displeasure and said, "Eat, you are not allowed to sleep until you finish eating."

Liu Jinqi's eyes darkened, how could he finish the table, but he knew that he couldn't make sense with Xu Zhao, a rascal, and he was really hungry, so he picked up chopsticks and ate.

Even though the young master was very hungry, he was very particular about eating. Xu Zhao stared at him eating, thinking it was very interesting.

"Eating such a small amount in one bite is like chicken eating." Xu Zhao never forgot to mock him.

Liu Jin ignored him, Xu Zhao looked at him and wanted to eat something, but he thought the food in Liu Jin's bowl was the best.

So when Liu Jin picked up a piece of rice with his chopsticks, Xu Zhao grabbed his hand and put the rice into his mouth.

"You..." Liu Jin was startled, and he immediately let go of his chopsticks and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Take the food." Xu Zhao was confident, and Liu Jin blushed, not understanding what kind of illness Xu Zhao was suffering from.

"Change a pair of chopsticks for me." Liu Jin said to the servant, but Xu Zhao hugged him and threatened, "Take this pair."

"Xu Zhao, if you are sick, go to the doctor." Liu Jin struggled, obviously even though Xu Zhao was young like him, his strength was not comparable to him.

Helpless, Liu Jin could only eat with these chopsticks, and Xu Zhao would "rob him of food" from time to time, and Xu Zhao didn't intend to let Liu Jin eat the next table of rice. Seeing that he was full and his face was rosy, he let him go sleep.

He himself hummed a little tune and went to lie outside. The senior sister asked him to continue watching Liu Jin and play again.

At the same time, the two principals in the palace could not sleep. Wan Mosi was worried that the queen mother would manipulate the imperial examination, so he directly sent a team from Chenganying to surround the official office that reviewed the articles. Meals are also heavily checked.

The Empress Dowager's face darkened when she heard the news: "The city is camped out, the emperor is quite capable of abusing his power, and those who didn't know thought they were going to rebel."

Yingge stepped forward: "Queen Mother, now that you are dragged down by military power, you have to find a way."

The queen mother glared at her: "The Ai family still needs you to remind."

Yingge immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "It's the slave who talks too much."

The queen mother took a deep breath, her expression was serious, she was silent, Yingge knelt on the ground, not knowing what the queen mother was thinking.

After about a stick of incense, the Empress Dowager suddenly said: "Aijia's birthday is coming, and all vassal kings are allowed to come to Beijing to present gifts, and let Ziying go to welcome Wang Wanying of Anding in person."

There are not many vassal kings today, many of them are idle princes, and their power is not as good as that of local county magistrates, but King Anding is different, he is the only prince with military power, the first emperor was afraid of him and Lu Cheng, and wanted to take back military power many times, unfortunately Neither side, nor the other, was successful.

Yingge replied, Prince Anding is the biological father of Princess Ziying. The queen mother values ​​Ziying so much, presumably because the Prince Anding behind the scenes mentioned this prince to her when Magpie was alive. Unfortunately, Yingge did not agree with many things. Even if you know it, you can't guess it.

After she left the bedroom, the Empress Dowager took out a dagger inlaid with various precious stones from a gold box, with a nostalgic look in her eyes.

There are ghosts in the wind, a deserted old house, and a woman in a black cloak comes to the lake pavilion. The lake has long since dried up, and the dead branches of the lotus, under the light of the shaking lanterns, look gloomy.

"My lord, there's news from the palace that the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet is going to be held." A slender man knelt on one knee.

The woman sneered: "I've only been frugal for a few days, and now I'm going to start extravagance again? I don't think her purpose is that simple."

The man didn't speak, and waited for the woman to order. The woman sat down, looked at the darkness in the distance and said, "Let father make a decision as soon as possible. Without him, how can Hong'er succeed."

"Yes."

"Also, pay close attention to Princess Ziying, she is Liu Ying's darling." After finishing speaking, the woman waved her hand, and after the man left, the woman took out a guqin.

The melancholy sound of the zither scared the beaters who passed by the deserted house and turned around and ran away. They had heard that the Lu family's old house was haunted a long time ago, and it seemed to be true.

Liu Zheng didn't stop. Although the three-day civil examination was over, the military examination was extended by one day due to the number of people.

There are still a few people who can afford to read, but there are many men and women who are strong, so everyone wants to try their luck.

The Ministry of War was in charge of the martial arts, and the Ministry of War was actually Liu Zheng's worry. He was exhausted after a martial arts exercise, but it was also beneficial. Therefore, he found out many people who were arranged by the Queen Mother to participate in the martial arts.

"Tomorrow is the day when the No. [-] martial arts champion will be determined. These men can't lose to a woman." Liu Zheng said, he didn't expect Ziying to make it to the final competition.

This time he also arranged many masters, but none of them could stop Ziying in front of them. She snatched away her grandson, and Liu Zheng hated her so much. , I am afraid that he will not be able to prevent Ziying from gaining the real power of the Ministry of War on the surface.
