The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

The next day, the martial arts examination will go on as normal.

After the written test was over on the fourth day, Xiao Rui's task of accompanying the prison was completed, and the next step was to review, which had nothing to do with Xiao Rui. The essay test was only carried out on the second day of the second subject.

Xiao Rui went to the palace to report to His Majesty after the martial arts examination was over.

When I came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I heard that His Majesty was discussing the national policy with the cabinet scholars, so Xiao Rui waited in the side hall for inconvenience.

Entering the side hall, I saw Yan Xiaoxiao was also inside.

Although she is a female official who is in charge of writing, she still needs to avoid discussing important national policies with His Majesty when the cabinet scholar discusses important national policies. Only Hai Dafu, the supervisor of ceremonies, and Eunuch Zhang, the eunuch who holds the pen, participate.

Your Highness, you are here!

Yan Xiaoxiaoqiao blushed, as if thinking of the scene of the two hiding under the dragon case on New Year's Eve.

Because at this moment Xiao Rui thought of that scene.

It's not the end of the martial arts examination, I'm here to tell my father. Xiao Rui smiled.

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded and asked, Your Highness, when are you going to leave Beijing?

Xiao Rui calculated the time. After the liberal arts exam, the papers and rankings will be approved, and the palace exam will be held on March 15th. Jia Xu is responsible for bringing down Zhou Mingwen. Xiao Rui doesn't necessarily have to stay in the capital, so he leaves early and late It's all right, of course, and I have to ask His Majesty what he means.

Tentatively scheduled for mid-March, there is still a month to go. Xiao Rui smiled.

Yan Xiaoxiao revealed an envious look, and said, That's great, I really envy Your Highness.

You also want to go out for a walk and see the beautiful mountains and rivers outside? Xiao Rui asked.

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded, and said: Yes, the scenery outside is so beautiful, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, you can only hear it, but you can't see it with your own eyes.

Your hobbies are similar to Li Ruoxue's, but unfortunately you can't make friends. Xiao Rui laughed.

Yan Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. She was no longer a yellow-haired girl who had just arrived in the capital. She naturally knew that the four famous officials in the capital were all beautiful and distinguished.

Your Highness is familiar with Miss Li? Yan Xiaoxiao asked softly, looking a little disappointed, she lowered her head slightly, but Xiao Rui didn't see it.

Xiao Rui said: I'm a friend, with a soft temper. If I get along with you, you two will probably become good friends.

I'm not soft-tempered. Yan Xiaoxiao snorted softly, a little tempered.

After finishing speaking, he realized his tone, fiddled with the corner of his clothes, and said, Your Highness once taught me that if you are too weak, you will be bullied in the palace, so I am very tough.

Xiao Rui smiled: You don't dare to look at me with your head down, and you still say you are tough?

Yan Xiaoxiao just raised her head and looked at Xiao Rui, seeing the smile on his mouth, especially the smile in his eyes, made her feel a little flustered, and hurriedly shifted her gaze to one side.

It's right to be tough. Xiao Rui couldn't bear to tease her, and said sincerely: Although you are on duty in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it seems that you are only a female official who writes, but you are under a lot of pressure, have the queen and imperial concubine made things difficult for you?

No...no. Yan Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and refused to admit it.

Xiao Rui looked at Yan Xiaoxiao. She was only seventeen years old, but she had to survive in this cold palace. With such a soft and weak personality, how should she face the surging troubles?

Don't lie to me, even if I haven't seen it, I can guess it! You are so beautiful, how can the queen and imperial concubine not be jealous? Of course, Tang Wang's mother and concubine De Fei was promoted to noble concubine in your capacity. Yes, and they are all old and their faces are gone, and you are in your prime, making them feel a greater sense of crisis than when they faced Concubine De. Xiao Rui sighed.

If he was someone else, Xiao Rui would definitely not say these words, after all he was slandering the Queen and Concubine Huang, but facing Yan Xiaoxiao, Xiao Rui couldn't just stand by and watch.

Yan Xiaoxiao's heart is warm, as Xiao Rui said, only she understands the grievances and difficulties she has endured.

As a writer in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, after a long time, the empress and concubine Huang Gui are afraid that another virtuous concubine will appear, and they are both old. This newcomer is in his prime, if he is favored by His Majesty, who can stop him?

So they were jealous and worried, but they were noble and could not do anything to Yan Xiaoxiao directly, so what should they do?

They only need to say a casual word, and they can instruct the female officials around them to pounce on the thin Yan Xiaoxiao like a wolf.

Every night when Yan Xiaoxiao went back to rest, she would be insulted and ridiculed by other female officials, calling her a vixen and a shameless woman. Fortunately, they didn't dare to do anything because they were afraid of being embarrassing, so His Majesty found out and asked, They all suffered, so they humiliated with words, ostracized collectively, even secretly threw away Yan Xiaoxiao's clothes and clothes, woke her up intentionally, and even poured water on her bed, women became vicious, no men have anything to do, They just wanted Yan Xiaoxiao to break down emotionally, so that she would make a fool of herself in front of His Majesty, be punished by His Majesty, and be kicked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Who would have imagined that she would return to her residence very late every day, and she even didn't want to go back, hiding alone in the corner of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, hugging her knees to make do for a night's rest, before she knew it, her clothes were wet with tears.

She also had to hide the change of clothes in the side hall, because if he didn't hide them, he was afraid that his clothes would disappear after he went back, and if he rudely offended His Majesty, he would be sent to the Laundry Bureau with a word, and he would become a clothes washing bureau. little servant.

Those people's words were like knives, constantly cutting Yan Xiaoxiao's body, she didn't know how long she could hold on, maybe she couldn't hold on, so she jumped into the well of the cold palace next to her.

During this time, Yan Xiaoxiao likes to hide under the dragon case.

Although it was dark, silent, and cold there, Yan Xiaoxiao was not afraid, it was countless times warmer than the palace where she stayed, and she felt as if she could smell a familiar aura, accompanying her by her side.

Perhaps, this is what keeps her motivated.

Now that he heard His Highness King Xian's words, Yan Xiaoxiao realized that His Highness had always been concerned about and worried about him.

Yan Xiaoxiao lowered her head, her eyes were red, she tried her best to pinch her leg with her fingers to prevent her cowardly tears from falling down.

Your Highness said, be strong! So don't cry!

No matter how much I say, I will look pale, because I can't help you in this palace. Xiao Rui sighed, looking at Yan Xiaoxiao who lowered her head, she was pretending to be strong, of course she could see it .

So you have to be strong! When we first met, you dared to protect your grandparents and face death in the face of vicious bandits, but now you just want to protect yourself. Xiao Rui said sincerely: You Be strong, be brave, even be ruthless, remember, you are not living for others, there are your relatives outside, and me, we all miss you!

Xiao Rui didn't know if he could change Yan Xiaoxiao and make her brave by saying this, but if he didn't say it, he really didn't know how long she could persist.

Yan Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her head and looked at Xiao Rui with red eyes. At this moment, she had an impulse to throw herself into Xiao Rui's arms and cry loudly. She missed her mother, her father, her grandfather and Grandfather believed in a warm embrace, made her suffer, and told her the pain in her heart.

No one knows how many nights she hid in the corner and cried.

Xiao Rui sighed, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and handed it to Yan Xiaoxiao.

While the wind blows, the grass will not break, and the weak will be strong! Xiaoxiao, I believe you can protect yourself! Xiao Rui said solemnly.

Yan Xiaoxiao took the handkerchief, held it vigorously, and nodded vigorously.

Even though her eyes were red, the tears never fell.

Not long after, Eunuch Gao came to invite Xiao Rui into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Emperor Xia was resting on the dragon chair, it seemed that he had just finished talking about important matters and just took time to rest.

I pay homage to my father. Xiao Rui saluted.

Emperor Xia waved his hand, asked Xiao Rui to sit down, and said, Is the martial arts examination over?

Yes, father, it is stable and orderly, and the martial arts examination has been successfully completed. Xiao Rui said with a smile: I served as an accompanying prisoner, and I also learned a lot and benefited a lot.

Oh? Really? What have you learned? Let me hear it! Emperor Xia became interested.

Xiao Rui:

I'll just say a few compliments casually, Dad, take it seriously, you did it on purpose.

Xiao Rui opened his mouth and said: My son has learned, read more and practice martial arts diligently, serve the motherland, and make progress every day!

After finishing speaking, I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I am a five-good student who has experienced modern education, otherwise I would be in trouble. I can't say: Erchen has learned, next time I accompany the prison, I have to bring melon seeds, peanuts and comics!

Emperor Xia nodded, and said: Okay, I don't want to listen to your nonsense, how is the progress of the Wenhui Examination? Has there been any random news from the people?

Xiao Rui's heart skipped a beat, what does the emperor's father mean by this? Has there been any random news among the people, could it be a case of favoritism and fraud? Could it be that Dongchang noticed the wind and reported it to His Majesty?

My son is devoted to the martial arts examination, but he doesn't care about any news. Could it be that the father heard something? Xiao Rui asked back.

Xia Huang was happy: Yo, you are very slippery, you are bold enough to ask me instead.

Father, please punish me. Xiao Rui honestly admitted his mistake.

Emperor Xia said: It's fine if you haven't heard, anyway, you are leaving the capital, where are you going first?

Xiao Rui shook his head and said: I haven't thought about it seriously yet, I really have no idea, go to Hangzhou first, I heard that the prefect of Hangzhou prefect is corrupt and perverts the law.

Hangzhou prefect? Emperor Xia didn't have much impression, but he had a deep impression of the governor of Hangzhou, and said: Since I have rewarded you with the gold medal that I personally visited, you must make good use of it and don't do anything wrong, otherwise, Don't blame me for punishing you.

My son understands, so naturally he won't know the law and break the law. Xiao Rui assured seriously.

Emperor Xia nodded and said: Okay, if you have nothing to do, you can step back. Oh, yes, I have some good news for you. Jian Jiuxiao has entered the territory of the Great Zhao Kingdom. It won't be long before Cao Cao will be eliminated for you. Home, I will avenge you.

Xiao Rui nodded. At this moment, he remembered the task given to him by the system, let him survive this crisis, why not take the opportunity to ask His Majesty?

Father, my son's eyelids are twitching, I always feel that there is a crisis coming. Xiao Rui said.

Emperor Xia asked back: Is it because of doing too many bad things, so you are nervous? Hai Dafu, go, send an imperial physician back to the mansion with King Xian!

Xiao Rui:

Is this a real dad?

My son is not sick, so my son will leave. Xiao Rui hurriedly said goodbye.

Seeing Xiao Rui running away dejectedly, Emperor Xia couldn't help but shook his head, and after a chuckle, his smile gradually faded away.

Order to all spies in Dongchang to check if there are any hidden dangers that are aimed at King Xian. In addition, send Qinglian swordsmen to secretly protect King Xian! Xia Huang said.

Hai Dafu was startled, cupped his hands quickly, and said: Yes, I will do it right now, servant girl.
