The Grand Princess

When Li Rong heard this, she turned her head and glanced at Pei Wenxuan subconsciously. Pei Wenxuan seemed to be stunned. Li Rong looked at the doctor again and said in a low voice, "I can't be anxious for a while, because I will not be pregnant for the time being. , Or maybe there will be no pregnancy for a lifetime?"

The doctor paused, seeming to be hesitating, and said a compromise. Seeing him hesitate, Li Rong said directly: "But it doesn't matter."

"Madame's body is too cold and cold. Looking at the pulse condition, the wife should have been treated in the past. But the wife has too much thought, and medicine alone may not be effective. If you can stop worrying, reduce your heart, it will be good for health and recuperation. For a while, it won’t be a big problem. It’s just that it’s easy to know how to do it, and if the lady is tolerant of it, she won’t have to sit here for fear of old age.

Li Rong nodded when he heard this. Pei Wenxuan frowned and said, "Will it affect others?"

"The yin and yang are imbalanced," the doctor nodded, "not only for children, but also affects longevity."

Pei Wenxuan heard this, and shook Li Rong's hand and said peacefully: "Then you can prescribe a prescription."

The doctor responded and got up and went out to prescribe.

Li Rong looked back at Pei Wenxuan, pretending to laugh: "It seems that Master Pei's desire to have children is difficult."

Hearing what she said, Pei Wenxuan shook his head, and said, "Children are trivial, you should take care of yourself first."

They were together for a year in the previous life, and they had no children. He wanted to go to the doctor to show her about women, but after all, he was young and he was not embarrassed. Now that he wants to come, he still has a lot of negligence.

The doctor invited today is the most prestigious doctor in Huajing to treat women's bodies. Since he said so, it should be no surprise.

But Pei Wenxuan still had the doctor's prescription taken out, and after several doctors' consultation, the prescription was finally decided.

At night, Li Rong slept with him. He seemed to have never slept in the middle of the night. Li Rong opened his eyes in a daze and couldn't help asking him: "Why are you still up?"

"It's nothing," Pei Wenxuan smiled. He lifted his hand and wrapped Li Rong in the quilt. He showed his head. He looked down at her and said bitterly, "You have seen it in the last life. Are these?"

As soon as Li Rong heard that he was asking about the child, Li Rong leaned against his chest: "Naturally, I have seen it, and there has been no movement for more than a year. Is that woman in the palace in a hurry? I secretly asked the doctor to see it. pass."

"Why do you say it differently?"

Pei Wenxuan hugged her, feeling a little sad, Li Rong chuckled lightly: "I don't want to have a baby, so how can I tell her husband? Of course, you have to keep it secret and take care of it yourself so that you don't have other thoughts."

"Why do you think of me that way?" Pei Wenxuan smiled bitterly. Li Rong hugged him, closed his eyes, and felt confident, "I haven't known you for more than a year, so how can you trust me?"

When Pei Wenxuan listened, he didn't know whether he should feel angry or rejoiced.

The year when he was with her like a flash in the pan was a wonderful time in his heart, but in fact, during that time, Li Rong was always on guard and guard against him.

Li Rong shouldn't be blamed, he is actually the same.

Love makes people live and die quickly in a short time.

But only time and hardship can make people slow down.

"Tell me everything in the future."

"understood."

Li Rong thought he was annoying. After hesitating for a while, she whispered: "I'm afraid I won't be able to conceive a baby in my life."

"That's okay," Pei Wenxuan said softly, "I'm looking forward to your child."

"Then you still let me drink medicine." Li Rong mumbled, "Dubious, deceitful."

"I'm worried about your body," Pei Wenxuan couldn't laugh or cry, "Why are you so unreasonable?"

Li Rong snorted, and he didn't say more, Pei Wenxuan hesitated for a while, and said slowly: "You are here with me, it just happens to be fine, just raise it."

"Don't worry about the others, I have everything."

Li Rong didn't speak, Pei Wenxuan thought for a while, and finally said, "Look, no matter what the past and this life, I have always been toward you for the rest of my life. No matter how noisy it is, I will protect you, right?"

Li Rong closed her eyes and listened to Pei Wenxuan's words. After a long time, she whispered, "I see."

With Pei Wenxuan, it happened that there was another chance, and Li Rong really started to recuperate.

When Li Rong was drinking tea at home and amusing the birds to read a book, Concubine Rou was up and down.

The new official of Concubine Roux took the post of three fires. She first surrounded Li Rong's mansion with Chen Huzhao's disappearance and restrained her, and then began to order Huajing to arrest people everywhere.

The first to bear the brunt of this was Shangguan's house. She let people go directly to the gate of Shangguan's house to arrest people, but she was blasted out of the gate.

Concubine Rou was so angry that she almost cried, so she hurriedly took the list of people she wanted to arrest into the palace, and cried to Li Ming for a long time.

Li Ming approves the fold, while saying flatly: "If you can't catch anyone, just think of a way. I gave you the supervisor. Did you make me mess up? Am I the chief of the supervisor, or you?"

"But the Shangguan family is too bullying, and the concubines really have no way of doing it."

"I can't think about it?" Li Ming was a little irritable. "There is no way to go to the Shangguan's to arrest individuals. Pingle used to send Xie Lanqing to the cell. Did she tell me?"

"Then she is the princess of Shangguan's family," Rou Fei emphasized. "The concubine was born in a poor family, except for the grace of his majesty, there is nothing in the concubine. If your majesty does not help the concubine, what should the concubine do?"

Hearing this, Li Ming paused to write. He looked up at the list, and after thinking about it, he finally said: "Pei Wenxuan is now in charge of the imperial examination. You haven't confirmed the list of candidates. The imperial examination can't be opened, he is a man who can do things. I will call him to your side later and help you."

After hearing Li Ming's words, Concubine Rou was a little nervous for a while, Pei Wenxuan had something to do with Li Rong, and even if he was separated now, she still felt uneasy.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Ming couldn't help but say: "What else do you mind?"

Concubine Rou reluctantly smiled: "Sir Pei is young after all, why don't your Majesty change a calmer adult to help the concubine?"

"Do you think the old fox in Chaoli, who will do this for you?"

Li Ming laughed mockingly: "That is, these cold people who want to climb up will sell you their lives. Pei Wenxuan is ambitious. If you leave the matter to him, he can do it. You have to do this. It needs to be beautiful, but don't rush ahead." Li Ming said, meaning to be pointed, "You are Cheng'er mother, just let Pei Wenxuan come forward for everything."

When Concubine Rou got these words, she thought about it seriously.

She is not a fool.

Li Ming never gave her the inspectorate to give justice to the people. The emperor couldn't pay attention to the fate of so many people. He wanted the "big picture" in his heart.

The Supervisory Division is the source of power that Li Ming gave her. It is to make her look like and establish her prestige in the heart of the unfamiliar. It is also to allow her to use the Supervisory Division as a backing and have her own party members.

Only if you get practical benefits from getting along with her, the people in North Korea will really care about her poor family noble concubine.

Now I have a good relationship with the noble families, using the internal fighting between the noble families to defeat the Shangguan family to support the king of Su, and after the imperial examination system has sent talents to balance the remaining families.

Li Ming is not far-reaching because of her plan.

So there is a question of degree in the middle. This time the reform of the imperial examination system, she can't do too much, it really offends the noble family completely. You can't tick it through your boots, so that Chaotang will not show any blood. This chills the hearts of those unfamiliar scholars, and also can't establish the prestige of Chaotang.

Concubine Roux thought about Li Ming's words in her heart, and then agreed.

In the afternoon, Pei Wenxuan had planned to go home as soon as possible, but he was packing up his things, so Li Ming sent someone over and asked him to go to the Supervisory Department to assist Concubine Rou in investigating the case and follow Concubine Rou's dispatch.

Pei Wen announced the will, without any dissatisfaction on his face, smiled and accepted the will, and when the people left, he immediately collapsed.

Tong Ye watched Pei Wenxuan change his face and said cautiously: "My son, you don't seem to be happy."

Pei Wenxuan was cold, and after a long time, he said, "I'm so bored."

As he said, he walked out and whispered as he walked: "Go back and talk to your wife. I'll be back later tonight."

"Huh?" Tong Ye was stunned, and said slowly, "But, didn't Your Highness say today that you should go back for dinner earlier?"

Pei Wenxuan paused, and after a long time, he still said: "You...you asked people to go back and tell the truth, saying that I was tripped by Concubine Rou, so I have to go. I will come back as soon as possible and let her have a good meal."

Tong Ye nodded, Pei Wenxuan got into the carriage himself, sat on the carriage with a cold face, and walked to the inspector.

Li Rong was idle at home, personally went to the small kitchen to direct the people in the house to cook, and waited for Pei Wenxuan to return.

As a result, people didn't wait for the news that he was not coming back. Li Rong was originally commanding in the kitchen with great interest, and instantly lost interest and even became a little angry.

She went back to the small dining room to have a meal by herself. After eating only a few bites, she saw the butler rushing in from the outside, a little excited: "Madam, find a place to hide first."

Li Rong looked at the housekeeper blankly and repeated: "Hide?"

"The old lady came over and said that she must see the old man."

As soon as the housekeeper finished speaking, Li Rong immediately knew that Wen was here, and quickly got up, instructed people to clean up the dishes, and wanted to go back to the bedroom.

But when he walked to the door, he heard Wen's voice coming from outside. Seeing that it was too late to go out, Li Rong simply folded back and hid in the curtain behind the screen.

As soon as she hid, she heard Wen's voice coming from outside: "Don't fool me. Aunt Qian saw it a few days ago and said Wen Xuan called Yu Yu to enter the house. I don't know what Yu Yu does. do you know?"

As Wen said, he walked in across the door and said fiercely: "Is he a Tibetan woman?"

"Madam," the butler knew that Li Rong was behind the screen, sweating in a hurry, "The Old Man is not such a person."

"He can't be this kind of person either!" Wen said in a loud voice, "If he is a serious girl, he will marry someone, so what is it like hiding at home? If it is a serious girl..."

Wen said, crying in his tone, so he simply sat on the side and cried: "His father is so good, how come he has such a thing!"

Li Rong listened behind the screen, fanning the small fan and rolling her eyes silently.

"His Royal Highness is such a good wife," Wen said. Li Rong hurriedly closed her eyes back. She suddenly felt that Wen's words were also useful, and Wen complained while weeping, "What is bad for him? A little bit, a little bit, but aren’t women like this? Your Highness is willing to be considerate of him and understand him, it’s already not easy. He still has to make trouble with others... it’s crazy!"

"Madam, you can't say that." The butler smiled a little, "Or else, you wait for the eldest son to come back and say, OK?"

"I don't care," Wen wiped his tears and sat up straight. "You let the woman come out, and I made it clear to her that my son has His Highness in his heart, but now it's just a young couple making a fuss. She don't want to think about bad people. Marriage."

"Madam, there are really no women."

"I don't believe it." Wen sat in the hall, "If not, I will sit here and wait for the announcement, and wait until I come back!"

Li Rong heard this, her feet were sour.

She looked at the sky outside and waited until Pei Wenxuan came back...

I'm a bit immobile.

"Bring me a cup of tea," Wen calmed his emotions, "I'll wait here, either teach the propaganda, or teach the little wave hoof, as long as your Highness is not dead, no one will want to enter my Pei's door!"

Listening to Wen's words, Xiaolang hoof Li Rong had a subtle experience in her heart, slowly rising.

Pei Wenxuan didn't know anything about the family. After closing his eyes and resting for a while, he listened to the carriage to the Superintendent. He raised his hand and started rubbing his face. After he felt his face softened, he returned to his usual routine. With a full smile, the deputy got off the carriage.

Shangguanya heard that Pei Wenxuan had come, and waited at the door. Pei Wenxuan got out of the carriage, Shangguanya greeted him and said with a smile: "I am here to wait for Master Pei at the order of His Royal Highness King Su."

Pei Wenxuan smiled and said respectfully: "Excuse me."

Shangguanya raised her hand in a gesture of "please", and greeted Pei Wenxuan and entered the Supervision Department. Shangguanya walked in with him, and whispered: "The dozen or so scholars who were interrogated today are all People who are involved in the Shangguan family, pay attention."

Pei Wenxuan nodded, did not say much, and stepped into the room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Concubine Rou and Li Cheng sitting in a high position, Hua Le sitting on the side, and standing next to them were the guards they used to be in the palace, and the inspector was the one from below.

Now that Li Ming is short of money, there is no way to increase the manpower for them for the time being. As long as there is no major incident, Roufei can only use the people before Li Rong, which is why Shangguanya is still there.

Pei Wenxuan first saluted Concubine Rou, Concubine Rou raised her hand to let him get up, and said with a smile: "Master Pei received the decree, right?"

"Yes," Pei Wenxuan said respectfully, "It is the blessing of the Weichen to do things for the empress."

"I'm bothering you," Rou Fei seemed to be embarrassed, and sighed. "I am a woman, and I can't do many things well. I hope the adults can help me in the future. Don't be offended."

"Niangniang is polite," Pei Wenxuan gave a pointed glance at Concubine Rou, "Weichen also came from a poor family, so he can help the Niangniang. Please rest assured."

Naturally, Concubine Rou would not believe what Pei Wenxuan said, but she didn't reject it entirely. She nodded and said: "Then bring someone up first."

Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, and took the tea from the side, watching a dozen scholars being brought in.

These scholars knelt down one by one, and Concubine Rou said softly: "Everyone, tell me how you found out that you were replaced."

After speaking, Concubine Rou pointed to the person at the far end: "Just you."

The uppermost scholar came forward and knelt down and said: "Cao Min is the Youzhou scholar Zhang Wenzhi. He took part in the county exam last year. On weekdays, Cao Min is famous for reading in his hometown, and he is a good student in the college. After participating in the county test this time, Caomin failed to get the vote. Instead, it was the county magistrate's son Zhao Ping. This Zhao Ping is a classmate of Caomin, who is accustomed to not learning and skillless. Caomin was very surprised, and later posted the person in the notice booth Cao Min recognized that the handwriting of this article was definitely not written by Zhao Ping. Cao Min was uneasy, and heard that there were replacements in other places, so he went to the bulletin booth at night, read the article carefully, and found the name of the article The paper was slightly thin, and the pen and ink was smeared. It was obvious that someone had scratched the name and patched it up. So Caomin contacted friends from various places to help Caomin check the articles on the bulletin boards of various places, and finally on the bulletin board of the next county, I found Caomin’s article. So I learned that Caomin was replaced by someone to participate in the spring."

In accordance with the rules of the Daxia imperial examination, in order to ensure that there will be no local favoritism and fraud, all local examinations will be managed by Huajing from the chief examination and invigilation. After the examination, the test papers of the candidates will be collected in Huajing and sealed by the officials. The name is corrected, and the result is directly sent back to the local area, and the article of the cited person will be posted in the bulletin board, first to show the talents of the imperial examination scholars for everyone to appreciate; second, to avoid such substitutions .

But being able to become an official is too much temptation for the local clan, so even if Daxia repeatedly banned it, it could not stop them from sending money to Huajing.

The imperial examination has long been a grand trading field between the upper and lower clan, almost counted as an official official with a clear price.

When Pei Wenxuan listened to these scholars talking one by one about how he discovered the alternative test, he was not surprised.

After listening for a while, he discovered the problem.

First, these people are all from Youzhou, which belongs to the Shangguan family.

Second, the ways these people found were almost all problems found from the articles posted on the bulletin board.

Before the test paper entered Huajing, no one knew who was in the middle, so no one should do it at this time.

The name will be changed on the test paper and the quota will be replaced. There are only two links. The first link is when the name is opened after scoring the test paper and sorted by region; the second link is when the test paper is shipped back to the place .

And the person who manages these two links is often the big clan who manages that territory.

Pei Wenxuan almost guessed what Rou Fei meant. He listened to Rou Fei's words and drank tea in silence. After everyone had finished speaking, Rou Fei looked at Pei Wenxuan and said with a smile: "Master Pei, you also understand. Right?"

"Weichen understands." Pei Wenxuan put down the teacup and looked attentively. Concubine Roux looked at him and tentatively said, "Then Master Pei thinks, what shall we do next?"

"Of course it is to check." Pei Wenxuan immediately said the answer, categorically cutting the railroad, "Look at these scholars, the test papers of A will appear on the bulletin board of B, which is enough to prove that the person behind the replacement of their papers can at least manage The entire Youzhou test papers are distributed. We will follow through to see who has handled these test papers and who is in charge of these things."

Such an investigation made it clear that Shangguan's family was to be found.

The Shangguan family is intricately intertwined, and it is also the matter of Youzhou territories sending money. How can no one do it?

But Pei Wenxuan was so firm that he wanted to help her investigate. Concubine Rou couldn't help but frown. It was unclear whether Pei Wenxuan dug a hole and waited for her to jump, or whether she had misunderstood him.

Seeing that Concubine Rou hadn't answered for a long time, Pei Wenxuan couldn't help reminding Concubine Rou with a clear look, "Manny?"

Concubine Rou was relieved and hurriedly said, "Oh, you are right, but there are a lot of officials involved in this. This is a family in Beijing. It is not easy to figure out this matter."

"The worries of the empress, the minister understands. Your majesty sent the minister here to understand the difficulties of the empress," Pei Wenxuan smiled and said gently, "If the empress trusts the minister, it is better to leave the matter to the minister, Wei The minister promised that it will be done for the empress and be beautiful."

Concubine Rou laughed when he heard Pei Wenxuan's promise.

She knew in her heart that the officials involved in this were Shangguan's officials.

Pei Wenxuan wanted to arrest people for her, that was really great.

"The palace thanked Master Pei first, Master Lao bothered."

"It's part of the business." Pei Wenxuan nodded, "Manny don't worry too much."

After the two exchanged greetings, they announced the arrest to Pei Wen. Seeing that the matter was understood, Pei Wenxuan got up and left. Concubine Rou took Li Cheng to send Pei Wenxuan out in person, and chatted with Pei Wenxuan as he walked: "After Master Pei and Pingle leave, there should be no one in the family, right? I still go back so early, I don’t feel Deng Lengying. Single?"

"There is still an old mother at home."

Pei Wenxuan smiled and said gently: "Go home early to serve your mother."

When Concubine Rou heard this, her expression of appreciation: "Master Pei is really a filial son. Actually, there is one thing in this palace that I have been puzzled by."

"Manny, please say."

"Before this palace watched Master Pei and peace, it is also very affectionate. To this palace..." Rou Fei laughed and did not say any more, but both sides understood her meaning, Rou Fei turned her head and continued, "Now Pei The adults came to assist the main palace, and seemed to be completely unwilling. I don't know, what is the attitude of Master Pei towards Pingle?"

"Weichen always follow your Majesty." Pei Wenxuan answered earnestly, "Do you understand this answer?"

Concubine Rou frowned, and when she was talking, she went to the door. Pei Wenxuan said goodbye to Concubine Rou and got into the carriage.

After the carriage started to go far, Hua Le stood behind Concubine Rou, a little puzzled: "Mother, what does he mean?"

In private, Hua Le always referred to Concubine Rou as "mother". When Concubine Roux heard her daughter's question, she smiled: "What he means is that he is good to Pingle because of your father's marriage, you If the emperor does not agree with him being peaceful and happy together, he will be peaceful with him. He will always be loyal to your emperor."

With that said, Concubine Rou's eyes showed a bit of unconcealable pride: "He is showing loyalty to us."

"Then..." Hua Le hesitated, "Is what he said credible?"

As he said, Hua Le was a little angry: "He said a few days ago that he wanted me to make a kiss!"

"This kind of person," Rou Fei snorted, "Don't look at what he says, but I will see what he does, how he can bring me back from Shangguan."

"My mother said that."

When the mother and daughter discussed Pei Wenxuan's affairs, as soon as Pei Wenxuan got on the carriage, he saw Tong Ye hiding in the carriage, crying with a face.

"My son, it's not good."

"What's the matter?" Pei Wenxuan frowned.

"The old lady is hitting the door," Tong Ye cried out in grief, "Forcing Your Highness to hide in the corner, hiding for almost an hour."
