Chapter 101

As soon as Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi returned to the house, they heard from the concierge that someone had sent a letter to Mu Chenxi.

Zhao Huan looked at Mu Chenxi who looked calm and said helplessly: "Have you gone to find your senior brother? Why is this necessary?"

"I just want to get some information."

Mu Chenxi smiled faintly, "I know it may not be possible. It's useful, but you have to obey fate and don't do anything at all."

He opened the letter and handed it to Zhao Huan. "It mentioned the punishment for the Marquis. It's true that he wants to inflict crimes. If you are not clear about it, you will be punished so severely. It seems that the Marquis is very scary!"

Zhao Huan saw that the result written on it was exactly as expected by the Marquis Zhao. He smiled slightly and said: "The imperial power is greater than the sky, so it won't happen! Letting anyone out of their control, not to mention the hot military power, didn't cost their lives. It seems that not only did they not grasp the handle, but they also didn't lose their conscience."

"Haha"

Mu Chenxi smiled, "There is a conscience. In the eyes of some people, sometimes it's still a weapon."

"Yeah"

Zhao Huan was a little surprised that he could say this. He raised his eyebrows in interest and motioned to Mu Chenxi to continue, "What do you mean by this?

" , Don't you understand?"

Mu Chenxi looked at him funny, but he had instilled a lot of things into his consciousness, "If someone takes this matter to criticize, then someone will fight back with the intention of killing Mr. Hou. This is It is a weapon used by the emperor to protect his reputation and prove that he is not cruel and cruel!"

"Yes, it is true."

Zhao Huan couldn't help but nodded. Mu Chenxi was worthy of what he had taught him in the past two years, as well as the loyalty he had instilled in him. thoughts.

Now I can rationally analyze the emperor's thoughts, and I am not afraid of violating taboos to express them directly. I will never become that pedantic and dull little scholar again.

"Don't worry."

Mu Chenxi saw Zhao Huan's pleased eyes and said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "I will not end up like my father-in-law, and I will definitely protect myself. At worst, I will leave Rongdu and return home with my wife. I won't let you suffer from worries."

"Well, our Chenxi is great."

Zhao Huan couldn't help but treat him as a child when he was happy, but comforted Mu Chenxi and said: "The world is so big that there is no room for it. We must focus on Rongdu. Even if you want to be an official, you can also ask for a job. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Who can do anything to us? "

"Okay, I will listen to you."

Mu Chenxi said nothing and sat down obediently . There, after listening to Zhao Huan's teachings, he finally promised: "If you don't like it here, we can leave at any time. If you're not so disgusted, there's nothing wrong with staying. It's all up to you." "

It's okay, it's okay."

Zhao Huan also I don't know how he became so afraid of wolves and tigers. Maybe he has always been afraid of the ancient imperial power in his heart, and the incident with Lord Zhao made him want to retreat.

But for the sake of Mu Chenxi, he still didn't say it clearly, "Let's talk about it later. Everything is unpredictable. Maybe you will develop better in Rongdu, and then it won't matter if you can't leave."

Everyone has ideals in their hearts, Mu Chenxi In the past, studying hard meant becoming an official. Although there have been great changes now and he is no longer obsessed with this, Zhao Huan guessed that it may be deeply influenced by himself.

Only then did he support Mu Chenxi's trial without hesitation and accompany him to the center of power again. People can't be too timid and dare not pursue their ideals. It is not Zhao Huan's character to muddle along.

The reason why he changed so much was because of Mu Chenxi. Zhao Huan had to ensure that when Mu Chenxi realized his ideal, he would still be safe in the maelstrom of power.

Zhao Huan now lost his indifference, but retained his tenacity. He turned that sensitivity into vigilance, and was always prepared to ensure that he and Mu Chenxi escaped unscathed when one day he was unable to do anything.

In the morning of the next day, the emperor directly announced the verdict against Qin Shilang without waiting for the courtiers to ask for the report. He executed him and his family was exiled to a bitter cold place.

The Marquis of Zhao was deposed from military power, took back his title, and was exiled to a bitter cold land for ten years. The rest of his family was sent out of Rongdu, and he was not allowed to serve as an official for three generations.

This was the last leeway he gave. Even ten years could wear down Lord Zhao's will. If his family members were not allowed to serve in official positions for several generations, there would be no threat to their descendants in the future.

The emperor originally wanted to destroy all of his family by banishing them forever, but now he could save their lives. In his opinion, it was a great kindness.

When the prince heard this, he expressed no intention at all. He had already prepared in his heart. Being able to do this proved that the net was wide open. He could only lament that he was powerless.

The other courtiers didn't seem to expect such a severe punishment for Lord Zhao. They looked at each other for a while, but no one came out to intercede.

Maybe when something happened, some people had expected it. At this time, it was almost useless to plead for mercy, so they didn't stand up to make others uncomfortable. It was not a good thing to hinder the emperor's eyes.

Only those who thought about the holy will to impeach him praised the emperor for his wisdom, showed his kindness to Mr. Zhao without giving him heavy punishment, and showed mercy to his family.

Only a few civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty stood up, while others remained silent, as if they didn't hear anything, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

The emperor's face was a little gloomy, and he said in a cold tone: "My dear friends, do you have any objections?"

"I have no objections."

When the emperor asked this question, the civil and military officials in the court suddenly became energetic and answered the question at the same time.

"Since there is no objection, let's draw up the decree."

The emperor looked at the prince and said, "I will leave it to the prince's supervision."

"Yes." The prince replied.

After retiring from the court, the emperor came to the Queen Mother and said, "Mother, what do you want to do with your son?"

The Queen Mother looked at her son and couldn't help but smile, "Didn't the Emperor already guess it? Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here now."

"The Ai family is here . Women in the harem do not dare to get involved in government affairs. Naturally, everything is decided by the emperor. Even if you want to ask for a favor, you have to see the emperor's face. If you can't do it, why should you open your mouth? "

The Queen Mother is already in her sixties, but she is well-maintained . , like a man in his forties, his charming eyes are now full of anger.

She looked at her only son, who carried countless grievances from his mother's family, and this was how she gave face to her uncle.

There was also the imperial master who taught him step by step. Although he did not officially become a master, he did have the grace to save his life and teach him. How could he be so determined.

The Emperor looked at the Empress Dowager without evading it at all, "It's a matter of great importance to the dynasty, and I've already spared it. Isn't it enough to keep them alive?"

"You only need ten years of exile."

The Empress Dowager spoke sharply and without hesitation. Said: "You are just in a high position now and don't take anyone seriously. As a royal family, you take everyone's contribution for granted. Even those with family ties should live and die for you."

The emperor looked at Looking at his mother, he was a little dissatisfied with her anger. He frowned and thought for a moment, "What does the queen mean? Is it just to lift it up high and then put it down gently? Then isn't my move a joke."

"Of course you don't . It will be a joke, and the one who is being laughed at is the Imperial Master."

The Queen Mother sat up straight and retorted unceremoniously, "There is also the uncle who is hiding in the background, the uncle who has experienced many lives and deaths, and even the annihilation of his entire clan."

"Now many people in Rongdu know that Uncle Guo is alive. It's not that everyone doesn't recognize his voice and smile, it's just that no one talks about it."

The emperor said: "No one can say anything about Uncle Guo. I have this confidence, unless it is... He doesn't want to live anymore."

"If you don't say it in person, what about behind the scenes?"

He became angry when he talked about this. The reason why the mother and son are here today is entirely because of the support of his little brother. "Just because you called him the emperor's master, you broke up a pair of lovers alive. People. You are becoming more and more stubborn and never tolerate others, even your own uncle."

When

the emperor heard these words, he couldn't help it anymore and walked around impatiently . Come and go. He took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in his chest, and stood for a while with his eyes closed.

Then he opened his eyes and turned around, looking at the Queen Mother and saying word by word: "I really don't know about their affair. If I knew, I would never be named the Imperial Master. How many times have I said it, why doesn't the Queen Mother believe it?"

The Queen Mother looked at it. He forced himself to calm down, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said dejectedly: "How could the Ai family not believe it? It's just that even if you don't make you the emperor's teacher, they can't be together just because of the title of the emperor's teacher. Your Majesty You should understand why they let you have a little stain on your body and leave you with a reason to be criticized. "

There is no solution to this matter. Even if the emperor does not appoint Jiang Haohai as the emperor's master, Amber will not be able to be with Jiang Haohai openly. The royal family. There are too many taboos for this to happen.

Even if the prime minister has a male wife, the emperor's mentor is not allowed. There are many differences in representation that need to be avoided.

This is the pain that both mother and son share. Today, they are dissatisfied with each other and have a dispute because of the incident involving Mr. Zhao. However, they both know in their hearts that even the mother and son, who have the most precious status in the world, are powerless to do some things.

No one dares to break the ancestral rules unless Jiang Haohai is demoted to a commoner and deprived of all titles. But how is this possible? No matter what is done, it will leave a stain.

"Mother."

The emperor saw that her face looked a little haggard, and he felt a little sad in his heart, "I know that you are not satisfied with Mr. Zhao's handling, but we have come to this point, what else can we do!"

"Mr. Zhao is here. He has great prestige in the military and is highly respected among civil servants. How could he be willing to take away his military power?"

The emperor said as he walked to sit down next to the Queen Mother. "I originally wanted to take the opportunity to destroy him, but now. I have decided to let their family go, but I will not let them have a chance to stand up. What do you want from me, mother?"

"Humph."

The Queen Mother didn't appreciate it at all, and said indifferently: "If it is said that Zhao Hou has the intention to cause trouble. , will anyone believe it? Will the emperor believe it? "

"You just don't want to give such a big face."

The queen mother looked at her son and sneered: "Zhizi Mo Ruomu, doesn't the emperor just dislike their soft-heartedness and won't let you be in court? Zhongda has to go to war slowly. It can be seen from your dislike of the prince, what else can the emperor say?"

As the queen mother asked, it was also revealed why Jiang Haohai and the others left Rongdu, leaving the emperor speechless.

When the eldest grandson was born, the Crown Princess wanted to cultivate her own power and asked the emperor to let the eldest grandson become a disciple of a great scholar from her mother's family.

If it weren't for the prince's obstruction, the emperor would have just followed the trend. After all, the prince had the highest dignity given by the royal family by worshiping Jiang Haohai as his master. It is impossible for the emperor's grandson to worship the same master at the same time, which is different from teaching.

At the same time, he did not want his first imperial grandson to be taught by Jiang Haohai to be as soft-hearted as a prince. As an emperor, you must be iron-blooded and intimidating, so that no one dares to violate the power with your body. You must have absolute rights. One word is the symbol of the royal family.

The emperor did not expect that the prince would try his best to stop it and resolutely did not allow the prince to do this. He could not forcefully agree at that time. Instead, Jiang Haohai retreated bravely and left Rongdu for a foreign country.

This was a hurdle in their hearts. They still had friendship with each other, but they just had different ways of doing things. Naturally, cracks gradually appeared. The emperor has never felt that he was at fault.

Under the Queen Mother's repeated questions and accusations, he could only sigh helplessly, "Mother, what do you want from my son? When it comes to your uncle, you get excited and don't even let me explain."

"A mere prince . It's just that the family's wealth has been ruined. Can't the emperor feel at ease without those ten years of exile?"

Seeing that he softened, the Queen Mother softened her tone and said, "The emperor doesn't even think about it. You gave the uncle and the imperial master face. If Zhao Hou is really guilty, Will your uncle let him go? Do you still need to worry about it?"

"Alas!"

The emperor realized at this time that it had been so long that he had forgotten how his uncle smiled at the situation from behind, and his hands were not stained with blood. He pushed up high.

He was now full of eyes, pretending that they were soft-hearted, and had forgotten everything he had done in the past. The emperor finally had some remorse at this time.

"I was wrong."

The emperor looked at the Queen Mother and said with a grateful face: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for reminding me. I finally understand that my uncle and the emperor's master will not let me be too hasty. Some things can be solved without taking action. As long as Just look for the opportunity, wait for the opportunity, or watch others gain from the game."

"You!"

The Queen Mother finally smiled after hearing what he said, "It's just that the uncle and the emperor love you too much and will do anything for you. You handle it well, and it takes no effort for you to become self-willed now. This is also the intention of their departure this time. Let the emperor think about it for himself. "

The emperor thought seriously at this time and no longer used the royal iron fist. Don't take it to heart, but think according to the past behavior of the uncle and the imperial master.

After a moment, he smiled freely and said, "I have figured it out, so I will let the prince know that Zhao Hou will be removed from exile and return home with his family."

Chapter 102

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi came in from outside, holding a letter in her hand, and said happily: "Senior brother sent someone to deliver the message that my father-in-law no longer needs to be exiled and can return home with his family."

"Okay!"

Zhao Huan He was very happy to hear that, being exiled can kill people, "Now I feel relieved."

He stopped organizing things and asked, "When will he be released?"

"It said tomorrow morning, but it seems like he will leave directly. "

Mu Chenxi frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy, "The emperor is so stingy, he didn't even allow me to stay for a day, and he didn't give me any property."

"Huh,"

Zhao Huan snorted, "It's okay if you don't get any benefits. Fortunately, we don't. If you are short of money, just bring some more."

Zhao Huan looked at the small box in front of him. It was given to him by Mr. Zhao. It contained a name card and ten thousand taels of silver notes. Now it has been returned to its original owner. .

He thought for a while and decided to return the favor once and for all!

Zhao Huan went to take out the dowry money that the Hou Mansion gave him. He has not touched it. Now he is going to put it all in the box and hand it over to Mr. Zhao tomorrow.

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi looked at the small box, "Did your father-in-law give it to you back in Rongdu? I remember someone was looking for you that night, and you took this box when you came back."

"You have a pretty good memory.

Zhao Huan laughed when he heard this. At that time, he was still as smart as a child. He didn't expect to be able to remember it for so long. "Here are the famous cards given by the Marquis, and there are also 10,000 taels of silver notes. I just want to bring them back to him now. "

"Oh, that's right." Zhao

Huan paused as he put the things away, "I will take back the dowry money given by the government at that time."

"Well, they are in trouble now, and the emperor didn't give them any money. Do you want them to return home hungry?"

Mu Chenxi was very dissatisfied with the emperor's move. "People from other families live comfortably and don't need to feel bad. No wonder they are willing to confiscate their homes."

"That's the emperor, the lord of the world. Of course. "Whatever you say."

Zhao Huan said nonchalantly. It's not an ancient symbol to confiscate a family and exterminate a clan. There's really nothing surprising about it. "Isn't it great that other people have a lot of money and don't even bother to do anything?"

"But that's my father-in-law." Isn't it unreasonable to just take what you earned? He didn't make a mistake."

Mu Chenxi walked to Zhao Huan and said solemnly: "We have to hide our money, don't wait for me to take it for granted. Even if he becomes an official, he will be remembered."

"Pfft."

Zhao Huan laughed and nodded at Mu Chenxi, "How could you have thought that the Marquis was something someone was afraid of? His family fortune is so rich that we can't compare. We don't have that at all.

"It's just a penny, my wife, you have earned it so hard." Mu

Chenxi shook her head in disapproval and said thoughtfully, "It must not be leaked to others. Who would have thought that even the master of the world would be jealous of other people's wealth." !"

"Okay, okay."

Zhao Huan said with a smile. Mu Chenxi didn't know what was going on in his head at this moment. "Master Hou had a premonition that something was going to happen, so he hid something in advance. Let's go and get it out for him. , Bring it with him tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go now."

Mu Chenxi stood up and said, "We have to hire a car for them. Let's prepare everything for them today."

...

"Prince. Here."

There was a sudden sound from the prison, and Mr. Zhao turned around and saw the prison officer leading a group of people coming this way.

"The Emperor has an edict."

A eunuch held a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand, "Master Zhao received the edict."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your pardon."

Mr. Zhao knelt on the ground with a grateful face. He had just received an edict in the morning. There was another one this afternoon. He didn't know why he thought of Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi. It was also the truth.

"You don't have to be polite, Mr. Zhao, please get up quickly."

After the imperial edict was announced, the prince took a few steps forward and said, "Tomorrow there will be a special person to take Mr. Zhao back home. If you need anything along the way, just give me instructions."

"Yes"

Mr. Zhao said . The master smiled slightly, knowing that a special person was responsible for the repatriation, but he still pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty and the Crown Prince for their kindness. There is no need to bother. We are already many young and old, so we should return slowly by ourselves."

The Crown Prince didn't know what to say, then he Just pretend to be confused, everyone will naturally understand the meaning, and some words don't need to be stated openly.

"This."

After the prince pondered for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, then Zhao Hou and his family can walk slowly. It is not suitable to walk quickly if there are old and young people in the family."

He turned around and ordered his attendants, "The repatriation expenses will be paid to you ." Marquis Zhao will handle it himself, and the others will report back to the emperor."

"Yes."

The attendant took out a few banknotes. He was an entourage arranged by the prince to be repatriated, and he just wanted to take care of Marquis Zhao. "Five hundred taels."

The prince frowned and asked dissatisfiedly: "It's just this little, how can it be enough?"

The attendant said: "Reporting to the prince, the total expenses were allocated to two hundred taels, and the subordinates went to ask for some more before they were given. Enough for five hundred taels."

"That's enough."

Mr. Zhao smiled gratefully and expressed his gratitude to the prince. "The prince's heart is in the heart of the common people."

Mr. Zhao knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "As a commoner, it is natural for him to live a civilian life. , these silver coins are enough."

"Oh!"

The prince sighed helplessly and didn't want to say anything. "Someone will come to see you off tomorrow. Good luck to Mr. Zhao."

After that, he turned around and left. If he didn't want to be repatriated, he wouldn't have said anything. The court would not give him even a hundred taels of silver. Fortunately, there were people busy with him, so he didn't need to worry too much.

When Lord Zhao heard what he said, he was even more sure that it was Zhao Huan and the others. He had been in the prison for many days and no one came to visit him. He had long since thought that he would not do what he wanted.

The interests of the world are at the forefront, and we must pay attention to driving away evil and avoiding disasters. At this time, no one comes forward and there is nothing to complain about.

At the same time, he also knew that there must be people who wanted to visit him, but they had no way out, and everything would be clear tomorrow.

.........

Early on the next morning, Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi were waiting outside the prison with their belongings and a hired convoy.

After waiting for about half an hour, the prison door opened, and Mr. Zhao and his party came out, having changed out of their prison uniforms and into civilian clothes.

"Master Marquis."

Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi walked over, "Everything has been arranged. I have prepared a car for the Marquis alone. There are pens, ink, books and other things in it."

Zhao Huan naturally understood what Zhao Huan said. , nodded and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaowu, take care of yourself in the future."

"Yes."

Zhao Huan nodded, knowing that this was the last time he would see you, he took out the small box, "This is a little thought, Lord Marquis, take it."

" Okay."

Mr. Zhao was not polite to him, and directly took it and stared at the carriage, "Wait for me."

After saying that, he entered the carriage and came out a short time later, also holding a small box, "Keep it as a souvenir."

"No need."

Of course Zhao Huan couldn't ask for it. He had just paid off the favor, so why would he accept it, "Hou "Please take it with me. There will be a long time to come. The whole family is waiting."

"They belong to them, and you belong to you."

Mr. Zhao couldn't help but put the box into Mu Chenxi's arms, "I gave it to you a long time ago." You have prepared one for each of your brothers. I have already divided it up and will send someone to deliver it to you on the day I leave. Don't refuse anymore."

After that, he said to the coachman: "Let's set off."

Before the words came out of Zhao Huan's mouth, Mr. Zhao had already returned to the carriage and could not be refused at all.

Mu Chenxi took Zhao Huan's hand and whispered, "Let the Marquis leave with peace of mind."

"Yes."

Zhao Huan nodded helplessly. Can he still refuse forcefully in this situation? Let's talk about it when we have the opportunity in the future!

They also got on the bus and wanted to take them outside the city. It was a characteristic of ancient times to say farewell to others outside the farewell pavilion. They always had to be sent to a long pavilion ten miles outside the city.

At this time, there were many people waiting there, including colleagues and friends who were seeing off Zhao Hou, children and relatives, and a family of relatives. At this time, the outside of the pavilion was extremely lively.

Some were happy to finally be released from the prison, while others were sad that they would never see each other again. Of course, those relatives cried together.

Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi looked at this scene from a distance, feeling uncomfortable in their hearts. Farewell is the most heart-wrenching parting. It is heart-breaking to never see loved ones again.

"Father."

Suddenly there was a cry from a distance. Zhao Huan turned around and saw a group of people being escorted passing by Changting.

As soon as they came over, another group of people gathered around and cried and howled. The scene was out of control for a while. The police officers scolded them before their voices became quieter.

"This should be the family of Qin Shilang. They have all been exiled to a bitter and cold place. I don't know how long they can survive."

Mu Chenxi said in Zhao Huan's ear, her words full of unbearability, "There are still many children!"

"Isn't it the saying that when there is both glory and loss, there is

also loss." Zhao Huan couldn't bear to see it. In ancient times, this series of sittings was really deceiving and caused some innocent people to suffer. "It's just that being a slave for generations is too much."

These things It's unclear, but Qin Shilang's family members also benefited from his corruption. It's fair to say that he should be punished, but what about the innocent and uninformed people?

If they knew this, would they be willing to enjoy the wealth? Zhao Huan thought that as long as people were more upright and had some conscience in their hearts, even if they were not punished for this, they probably would not want those riches.

"The emperor's punishment is too much."

Mu Chenxi said, with a serious and serious expression on his face, "There are some things that people can't choose whether they want to or not. It is not feasible for a family to sit together, and it is even more unfeasible to judge crimes based on their ethnic groups."

"What we said doesn't matter."

Zhao Huan hardened her heart and refused to let him continue. Mu Chenxi's words were already treasonous in this era. They had no ability to challenge the imperial power, and they could not change anything.

"Even if the emperor needs to change the law, he must have someone to support him. The rules set by our ancestors cannot be changed, and no one can move them."

Zhao Huan saw that he still looked puzzled, and hurriedly comforted him: "If there is a tough monarch in the future, , If you can think about this with an open mind, you may be able to change it, but now is not the time."

"Our ancestors made it unchangeable, so don't change it."

Mu Chenxi took Zhao Huan's hand and told him not to worry, "Stop those rules. Hidden away in the cabinet, the ancestral things are too precious, how can they be used at will? It would be great to leave them for future generations to appreciate."

He smiled at Zhao Huan again and blinked his big clear eyes, "Now leave the rules for future generations. , Hasn't it changed since then! This generation also belongs to the ancestors of the next generation. Who dares to disobey the decree issued?

"How come you can do anything easily if you think about it all day long?

" Huan looked at Mu Chenxi with a smile, wondering where he came from these strange ideas, which seemed very reasonable, "It's none of your business, just don't worry about it."

He pointed to Mr. Zhao and the others in the distance, " See, this is an unreasonable disaster. Mr. Hou has made great contributions in his life, but the emperor's words almost made him worse than death. You, a little scholar, should not care about this. "

"Yes, yes, it's my fault."

Mu Chenxi was only thinking about her thoughts just now. She didn't expect Zhao Huan to care about this, so she hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, wife, I won't say these words to you again."

"Remember, trouble comes from the mouth."

Zhao Huan warned him again, After Mu Chenxi experienced a catastrophe, not only did he change a lot, but his courage became boundless.

"If you continue to talk nonsense, think about me first and see if you will end up like them. Maybe it's okay for them to be like this, maybe they will move their heads someday."

Zhao Huan had no choice but to use himself to warn Mu Chenxi . He is so smart and clear in his thinking that Zhao Huan can't even argue with him when it comes to reasoning, and sometimes he is so cunning that people are speechless.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Mu Chenxi looked at Zhao Huan's serious look and nodded immediately, "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, I will never let you be like them, I will protect you."

Zhao Huan is really going to be beaten . He laughed angrily. He was still being protective like this. There was no way he would get into trouble someday. "You must remember that no one should say this except me, you know?"

"Yeah, yeah."

Mu Chenxi stopped talking and had an honest attitude . He was sincere and his eyes were so innocent that he couldn't bear to lecture him any more. Zhao Huan had no choice but to turn his head to the side and continue to look at Mr. Zhao and the others.

Zhao Huan saw that they had received a lot of things, and it was estimated that there would be a lot of money and things. After all, they all knew that their family property had been confiscated, so they would definitely prepare some since they could come to give them away.

The same is true for Qin Shilang's family, but I don't know if those things and finances can be left behind because of the escorts.

At this moment, two more carriages came from the direction of Rongdu City, and several people accompanied them on horseback. They traveled all the way and stopped in front of Lord Zhao.

Zhao Huan vaguely heard that it seemed that the prince had given him a favor and sent some old people who were serving Mr. Zhao to return home with them.

"Prince,"

Zhao Huan couldn't help but murmured, feeling a little confused in his heart. Is there some relationship between the prince and the Marquis, so he would openly take care of him like this.

It stands to reason that after a house is confiscated, those servants and servants will be sold by the court, and the money obtained will belong to the court.

If you want to come back, you can only buy it, but now the prince has sent some of it back, and he is still an old man who served the Marquis. This is a great feeling.

"It's always good to send it, no matter why."

Mu Chenxi said softly, Zhao Huan always thought too much, and he had no choice but to compromise on many things, "Don't think too much, it will be peaceful after they leave. "

They never passed. The officials escorted by Qin Shilang were impatient and urged them to set off immediately, cursing loudly.

Zhao Houye said a few words to his daughter who was crying beside him, and Zhao Huan saw her carrying the child back to the escort team.

The child in her arms was about a few months old. Zhao Huan saw her walking directly towards a young man, who was also holding a three or four-year-old boy in his arms. It was estimated that this was a small family.

Walking all the way to the bitter cold land, Zhao Huan was really worried about them, not knowing whether they could arrive safely. I can't imagine what it will be like after arriving.

"Huh?"

Mu Chenxi suddenly said, "Master Zhao, there is a car coming out of the queue."

After hearing this, Zhao Huan turned around and saw Zhao Hou's eldest son and third son saluting him, and then came up He got into the carriage and was accompanied by two unknown people.

Zhao Huan saw that they should be the attendants that the prince had just sent, and the carriage was traveling in the direction of the escort team. He suddenly understood what Marquis Zhao meant. He must have asked his son to send his daughter to the place and made proper arrangements.

Poor parents in the world, Lord Zhao has not forgotten his children at this time. Even if it is his married daughter, even if it is because of her that the emperor has an excuse to punish her, he still has to take care of his children.

"Alas!"

Seeing this, Zhao Huan didn't want to take the box given by Mr. Zhao anymore, and immediately found a way to send it back, just like Mu Chenxi said, to calm his heart first.

"Let's go."

Mu Chenxi reminded Zhao Huan, "Father-in-law is looking over here."

Zhao Huan looked at Mr. Zhao and couldn't help but wave to him as a farewell. He didn't go over to speak anymore because he didn't know what to say at this time.

Mr. Zhao Hou also waved his hand in his direction, but the gesture was to let them go back. Then he turned around and got into the car. It was finally time to truly say goodbye.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Huan felt extremely relaxed now. He had done the right thing. He didn't avoid it, didn't sit idly by, and fulfilled all the obligations he had received and the original owner's obligations.

"Let's go back."

Mu Chenxi saw that the convoy had gone far away and pulled Zhao Huan into the carriage. "Is it cold? You have been outside for so long. You should quickly test your temper."

Mu Chenxi brought the charcoal basin to Zhao Huan. Then I sat next to him, "From now on, we will just stay at home. It's cold and there's nothing fun to do. After I know how to practice, I can go on an outing. Then we can take a good look at the scenery around Rongdu and have fun." " Once again."

"I'm not sad, you don't need to comfort me."

Zhao Huan understood what Mu Chenxi meant. He was afraid that he would be sad after leaving. "Let's take a look at what the Marquis gave. It should be something good."

He opened the box. They are a pair of fine jade pendants, a pair of fist-sized luminous pearls, and two hundred thousand taels of silver notes.

There is a note on it. Judging from the handwriting and the time just now, it should have been prepared long ago, which is consistent with what Mr. Zhao said.

The note read: Five sons see words as they see each other, and this is a share of the family property assigned to you. The banknote will stay with you throughout your life, the jade pendant will stay with you as a memory, and the pearl will wish you a bright life.

"We can't send it back!"

Zhao Huan sighed. This is a father's sincere emotion and a precious heart. "Let's just consider it a good relationship with Mr. Hou."

Chapter 103

Since Lord Zhao left, Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi have not been out of the house very often.

Except for one gathering with Liu Wenqing and Wang Qingquan, seeing each other settled in, they dived into their studies.

Time passed quietly, slowly coming to the end of the New Year. This was the first New Year they spent in Rongdu.

Without them having to do anything, Butler Wang had everything ready. As soon as the New Year came, the house would be decorated with lights and colors to celebrate the New Year.

On this day, there was a noise in the mansion. The Queen Mother gave New Year's gifts. Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi followed Butler Wang's arrangements and knelt down to receive the decree.

After that, he saw rows of gifts coming one after another. Zhao Huan was secretly surprised. The food and clothing added up to them were quite a lot.

Then they also took out New Year's gifts and handed them to Butler Wang to deliver to the Queen Mother. It was a statue of Amber that was as tall as a person. It was carved bit by bit by Zhao Huan during this period.

When Butler Wang saw it at first, he thought it was a real person appearing. He rubbed his eyes and sighed: "I'm old and my eyes are useless!"

"Uncle Wang, do you miss Amber?"

Mu Chenxi asked with a smile, "Don't worry, they will come back one day. , even if we don't come back, we can still go to them."

"It's been more than two years."

Butler Wang looked lonely, "There can't be anyone in charge of the house, otherwise the old slave will definitely go with him."

"Uncle Wang, if you want to go, you can. "

Zhao Huan said, and he looked at Mu Chenxi, "If we stay in Rongdu, we can take care of everything here. If we want to leave, Uncle Wang can also seal the mansion, and those villages and shops can have their own business. Accounts. If Uncle Wang is really worried, we can help you come over once a year to check it out."

Butler

Wang was very happy when he heard what they said, and a smile appeared on his face. "I can't leave, I have to take care of you. Rongdu looks calm on the surface, but there are too many officials and nobles. If you don't pay attention, you may be in trouble. And with you here, I will no longer feel lonely. Please two Don't worry, young masters."

"Uncle Wang can go whenever he wants, don't worry too much about us,"

Mu Chenxi said, then he took out a painting and gave it to Uncle Wang to take to the Queen Mother, "I painted this, it was An. Uncle taught me how to play the piano, but he said he hadn't played it for many years, so let the Queen Mother have a look." When

Zhao Huan saw this painting, he couldn't help but the corners of his mouth turned up crazily. He knew why Amber taught Mu Chenxi to paint. I once heard Mu Chenxi say it.

Jiang Haohai taught Mu Chenxi very strictly, but Mu Chenxi sometimes opposed him, saying that his piano skills were not as good as Amber's, so he had to pester Amber to teach him.

Jiang Haohai was so angry that he wanted to teach him a lesson, so Mu Chenxi hid in Amber's arms and made faces. Amber protected him lovingly, leaving Jiang Haohai helpless.

In fact, when it comes down to it, Amber is extremely good in all aspects. It's not that Jiang Haohai can compare to him, but he just doesn't show it.

Origin sometimes has many restrictions. After all, Amber comes from a literary family and is not living outside like Jiang Haohai. His skills such as playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting are naturally better.

Zhao Huan opened the picture and saw Amber playing the piano and Mu Chenxi clinging to the side. The smile on Amber's face was soft and warm, and her eyes looking at Mu Chenxi were full of doting.

"This is what you look like when you act coquettishly and don't worry about others seeing the joke." Zhao Huan pointed at the painting and said with a smile.

"What are you kidding me about?"

Mu Chenxi raised her eyebrows, with a proud smile in her eyes, "Amber plays the piano very well, but others are not so lucky! Let them see how envious it is, and it can be considered an eye-opener."

"You!"

Zhao Huan stopped talking. He knew that Mu Chenxi's move might have a purpose.

After such a long time, he also had some understanding of Mu Chenxi's new personality. He seemed to have no rules when talking and doing things, and sometimes he couldn't understand the hidden meanings.

.........

What Zhao Huan didn't know was that the emperor happened to be in the Queen Mother's Palace when the painting and statue were sent.

When he saw the statue of his uncle, it was like a living person standing in front of him again. And the portrait of the boy,

how doting his uncle was, reminded him of how he looked like this before.

Everything in the past was played out in his mind one by one. He relied on his uncle and the emperor's painstaking cultivation to be where he is today.

"Mother, I was wrong."

"The best thing you can think about is that your uncle has done so much for you, and now that he leaves, you are leaving yourself to face everything."

The Queen Mother said earnestly, and she sighed slightly, "But Don't let him down. You know Uncle Guo's temper. If he gets angry, none of us can resist him. He just spoils you rotten and arranges everything for you, making you feel that everything is based on you.

"Mother,"

the emperor felt really regretful at this moment, looking at the queen mother with a guilty look, "I will definitely be worthy of my uncle and the emperor's master."

...

In just two days, the prince . The New Year's gift was given in a very low-key manner. It was delivered by the person who sent the letter that day. His identity was not revealed and he did not mention the meeting.

After Mu Chenxi accepted it, he didn't say anything else. He just asked someone to wait and bring the return gift back. There is also a statue of Jiang Haohai carved by Zhao Huan, and a painting painted by Mu Chenxi himself.

This time, Zhao Huan smiled directly at the portrait. Jiang Haohai held a book in one hand and a ruler in the other. Mu Chenxi sat opposite and smiled brightly, eating happily with a piece of pastry in his hand.

"What does your painting mean?"

Zhao Huan asked. He really couldn't understand the meaning of the painting. "You are listening to the teacher's lecture and eating. What's the use of holding a ruler?"

"It proves that the teacher has taught me strictly." ."

Mu Chenxi put up the painting and said, "Master Yan is a master, and we are no worse than him. What's the use of hiding one's head and tail?"

"Oh, you blame him for not seeing you.

" He suddenly understood and looked at Mu Chenxi, who was speechless. "He also tried his best and sent you news several times. Judging from the time, there was no delay at all. It's okay even if he didn't see you. Maybe he was busy with something."

"So I Think he is still a senior brother."

Mu Chenxi smiled brightly and said with a stern face: "He thinks that I don't know who he is! It's really ridiculous that the prince is so naive."

He curled his lips. He picked up the pen with contempt and wrote a note: All friendships are love, and it's okay if we don't meet.

When the prince received his note, he couldn't help but laugh out loud and murmured to himself: "What a big temper! It seems that the emperor really pampered him."

When he saw the painting, he understood what Mu Chenxi meant. , Senior brother, it doesn't matter if you don't see me, I have a teacher who hurts me.

.........

On the 29th of the year, Liu Wenqing and Li Shaojie were invited to celebrate the New Year, and Wang Qingquan also came to pay New Year's greetings.

"Oh my god!"

Liu Wenqing looked at the Sanjin house where Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi lived, and exclaimed several times in succession, "This is really Sanjin, why is it so big?"

"It's much bigger than my cousin's house."

Wang Qingquan also said, "And the exquisiteness of your place is simply incomparable. It's a whole world."

Li Shaojie smiled and said, "It is said that your cousin's house is not enough to live in. Two nearby houses were bought and expanded!"

"I told you to come here, but you just didn't come,"

Mu Chenxi said with a smile. He looked at Zhao Huan, "My wife also said that you have a small family living there. I poured it out specially for you. There is no need to crowd in there with so many family members. Just move here together ." Wang Qingquan heard what he said and immediately agreed, "

I'll move here together.

There are indeed many people in my uncle's family. They have been separated for several generations, and they all live in the three-in house. This house in Nancheng is not easy to buy and the price is high. It is really frustrating for such a large family to be crowded together."

"Brother Wang. He is a good uncle and always takes care of us."

Li Shaojie said. He looked at Wang Qingquan and smiled slightly, "But his cousin and a few elders are fine, but some others are a little cold, maybe because they haven't been together for a long time and their family ties are weak.

"That's right." Liu

Wenqing was reluctant to express his bitterness at first, but now he had the opportunity to speak out directly, "Not only did we receive a few cold receptions, but we were also looked down upon, and we were scared in that small area. The hospital didn't dare to come out."

After hearing this, Zhao Huan understood their situation and just smiled lightly, "I thought it might be inconvenient for Brother Liu and Brother Li to attend the annual banquet of Brother Wang's family during the Chinese New Year, so I decided to hire someone. Inviting you to come here to celebrate the New Year together, we can be more lively."

"Oh!"

Wang Qingquan sighed, "I really want to come over, but unfortunately I have no choice but to find an excuse to move here after the New Year. We can't let my cousin lose face."

"Haha."

Liu Wenqing laughed immediately and said to Wang Qingquan, "Brother Wang, Brother Li and I won't go back. We will stay here while you go back. Let's ask the boy to move the things here."

He turned to Mu Chenxi and the others and said, "I didn't know the place you live in is so big. If you had known we would have come, why would the people there be unhappy?"

Wang Qingquan: "I don't blame my uncle. The whole family is counting on him. He was the last person to buy the three houses. After buying them, he couldn't afford anything else. He is a first- and fifth-grade official, and he can hold the top position here in Rongdu." What's the use?"

Zhao Huan nodded clearly. Rongdudong is the honorable place, and there are relatives of the emperor and some dignitaries living there. Nancheng is a place where ordinary officials and wealthy businessmen gather, and some of the surrounding houses have to be sold by others.

And it also depends on the price. It's easy for wealthy businessmen to say, but some ordinary officials can live a basic life. If they want to have a better house, it is simply unacceptable in terms of finances.

Most of the people in Xicheng and Beicheng are civilians, and there are also a few small officials. Most of them are in poor conditions and cannot afford to buy a house in Nancheng.

It is understandable that a large family like Uncle Wang Qingquan's family is crowded together. No one wants to step out of this circle. It is a symbol of status.

In ancient times, the in-laws of children were also very particular about having a good family background and a good place to live, and being able to find a good match or a good relative. For these reasons, the royal family would never split up.

"We'll stay at your place from now on."

Liu Wenqing looked around at the third-level mansion with interest. "The scenery is pretty big. It should cost a lot of money, right?"

"I don't know."

Mu Chenxi shook her head honestly. "It was given to us, and the property deed has been transferred to our names. However, it should be worth a lot of money. In addition to these three houses, there are also several expanded gardens."

Then Mu Chenxi and Zhao Huan showed them again. There are plum garden, chrysanthemum garden, bamboo garden, as well as large and small gardens, and there is a place to live in them. All of them together are larger than a large house with seven rooms, and their value goes without saying.

Li Shaojie walked around and saw the beautiful scenery and the area. He sighed repeatedly: "You are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers!"

"Is this the third house?"

Liu Wenqing looked at Mu Chenxi and Zhao Huan and asked, he Now I am really dumbfounded. If I had known what he, Wang Qingquan and the others were doing, he said, "You are too low-key. You said you were borrowing a place to live. I was afraid of causing trouble to you and bothering you and your husband again. I don't have the nerve to come over. Morning. Even if you don't invite me, I will shamelessly come over and stay!"

"It's not too late to know now,"

Zhao Huan said with a smile. Don't talk about them all the way. Even if you watch it a few more times, you will be amazed again. , "We were indeed renting a place at the beginning, and we didn't know it would be such a good place. Since you like it now, then move in here, no matter how long it takes."

"Yes, you come over and we will study together, and we will try to go back and forth ." It's also convenient."

Mu Chenxi knew that no matter whether they won or not, they would not leave Rongdu in a short time, and she and Zhao Huan wanted to take more care of them.

"There are still a few empty courtyards in our second courtyard, and the entire third courtyard is also empty. There are also courtyards for living in these courtyards. You can choose whichever one you like. We don't have any elders or anyone else in our family, so we always come and go. More convenient. "

Chapter 104

During the New Year in Rongdu, Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi lived a peaceful and warm life. With Liu Wenqing and Li Shaojie joining in, they occasionally played together without feeling deserted.

The few people lived a happy life. Under the guidance of Mu Chenxi, they often went out for walks without any urgency before the exam.

Time passed by slowly, and it was time to try it out in February. Zhao Huan and Butler Wang Zhang Luo had prepared the things they needed for the trial early.

On the morning of the examination, Zhao Huan thought about getting up early to send Mu Chenxi and the others to the examination room. When he opened his eyes, it was still dark outside, but Mu Chenxi beside him had already gotten up.

He looked sideways at the empty half of the bed, remembering that Mu Chenxi said she wouldn't let him go to deliver it yesterday, and quickly got up and dressed and went out.

When he arrived at the dining room, Mu Chenxi and the others were having breakfast, and Butler Wang was helping them prepare. The roasting pan and book box were put aside so that they could get up at any time after eating.

"I told you, let you sleep a little longer, why do you have to get up?"

Mu Chenxi saw Zhao Huan hurriedly walked in, and said helplessly: "With people like us, what can go wrong?"

"I just went to see. , I may not have the opportunity to go to the audition site in the future."

Zhao Huan smiled slightly and saw that Wang Qingquan and the others were in high spirits. They must have been up for a while and are no longer sleepy.

Mu Chenxi brought him a bowl of porridge, "Don't worry, drink it slowly, we still have time."

"Yeah."

Zhao Huan drank the porridge silently. He had already given him all the instructions he needed, so he still kept his mouth shut at this juncture. good.

I just sighed in my heart that Chen Mingrui was missing among these people. He has decided to give up the imperial examination and become a master with peace of mind. In fact, he is afraid of being leaked in the future. The law does not allow Liu Qingfeng to be implicated.

Zhao Huan really agreed with his move. Those who can understand what they want most and have the courage to give up their future will be the happiest.

"Daughter-in-law, please drink slowly."

Mu saw that Zhao Huan quickly drank half the bowl of porridge, and couldn't help laughing at him: "Why are you more anxious than me."

"I'm not in a hurry."

Zhao Huan raised his head and smiled at him, "I'm just a little excited. You've studied hard for so long and finally you can take the college entrance examination and get ahead!"

This is just like the modern college entrance examination. The tense moment has passed. This is the last chance. The mentality of success or failure has slowed down. No sense of urgency anymore.

"Well, I'll let you work hard this time."

Mu Chenxi smiled slightly. No matter what, he would only participate in the test once. Although he was quite confident, he still took this as the standard.

You can't waste your time on this. Life goes by in a hurry for decades, and there is a lot worth doing. There is no need to focus on scientific examinations.

"I also took the exam once."

Liu Wenqing said: "I was too nervous and depressed. This time is enough. There is no need to stand out here. You can look at other places where you are good at."

"Aren't you afraid that your father will beat you?"

Wang Qingquan had no choice but to fight to the death. His father would never allow him to take another path. "I am destined not to leave the official career in my life. I am really afraid that I will see those gray-haired people in the examination room who are still sticking to it. It will be too demotivating!"

Li Shaojie: "Okay, you can say something auspicious."

He glared at Wang Qingquan, "I think you are dampening everyone's enthusiasm, so you don't care about it so early in the morning."

"Hey!"

Wang Qingquan reacted immediately and hurriedly said "Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, don't listen to me complain, everything will go smoothly, we will be successful and famous soon."

"Haha."

Zhao Huan felt funny when he saw him being so superstitious. Nervous, "You don't need to think so much. Since you have decided to take this path, just face it calmly. Relax your mind, and everything will fall into place naturally. There is no need to belittle yourself."

"My wife is right."

Mu Chenxi agreed. He looked at Wang Qingquan and the three of them said, "Whether you succeed or not, you have to go through this. Why not face it positively?"

"It's nothing more than starting over."

Zhao Huan put down the bowls and chopsticks and said with a smile: "Show your courage and don't take it easy." Give up and don't compromise easily. You have studied hard for so long, so you must be in your best condition and show your true strength to fight, and you will succeed immediately."

Zhao Huan encouraged them, hoping that they could put down the burdens in their hearts. It affected his exam preparation state, "Let's go, I'll wait for you to come back at home to celebrate."

"Okay, let's go."

Mu Chenxi stood up immediately, waved to Wang Qingquan and the others, full of pride and ambition, "Daughter-in-law, make more delicious food. Let's celebrate together when we come back."

"Don't worry."

Zhao Huan helped him lift the roasted blue, but Mu Chenxi snatched it away, "I'll take it myself. Brother Wang and the others also have it, so don't make them jealous.

" Hahaha. "

Wang Qingquan and the others naturally knew that they were trying to comfort themselves, and they smiled cooperatively: "That's right, we haven't gotten married yet, so you better not tempt us to get a wife,"

the group of them said. He smiled and walked out. Before he reached the door of the house, he saw Butler Wang coming towards him, "Master, there are people outside waiting to lead the way. Let's go with them so as not to block the car."

"I'm sorry, Uncle Wang. "

Zhao Huan said with a smile. He had a guess in his mind. He turned to look at Mu Chenxi and found that his eyes were also turning to him. The two of them couldn't help but smile at each other, knowing in their hearts who sent him.

News had spread out a long time ago, and everyone knew that the prince was in charge of the exam this time. He could do this because he had to fulfill his duty as a senior brother and give Mu Chenxi some care.

It can be seen that Mu Chenxi's guess is correct, the prince is his senior brother. Many signs have exposed his identity, maybe not revealing it but not trying to hide it, just not saying it clearly.

Zhao Huan also felt the same way, because the speed of delivering news to them and the delivery of servants to Lord Zhao made people suspicious.

Mu Chenxi and Zhao Huan were in a car, and Wang Qingquan and three others were in a car. They were led by people who were waiting, and they didn't know which way to take. They arrived at the test site unimpeded.

The person leading the way had already retired, and Butler Wang came over to report, "Master, we're here."

"Got it."

Mu Chenxi and the others agreed and got out of the car. There was already a sea of ​​people outside, but there was not much noise.

Although the students were quiet and tried to keep their minds calm, the anxiety in their eyes could be seen through at a glance.

Mu Chenxi seemed to be here to see someone off, but was not one of them. He looked around the crowd with interest, "Why don't you see the students from our academy? Could it be that they haven't come yet."

He was tall and tall, standing on tiptoe in the crowd . He stood on his toes and looked into the distance, trying to find the students in his academy and the people who had gone to Rongdu together before.

"Okay."

Zhao Huan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "There are so many people and geniuses. Where can you go to see those people."

He looked at Mu Chenxi who was covered tightly by him, with only two big bright and flexible eyes showing, "You are so well-dressed, even if others see you, they won't be able to recognize you."

"Haha."

Mu Chenxi said cheerfully . He smiled and said, "It's because of my Wenxin brand equipment that people can spot it at a glance."

"That's right."

Liu Wenqing heard their conversation and smiled from the side: "Who among us doesn't know that Mu Juren is always attracted by you? Wrapped in a cotton bag, with only two eyes left on his handsome face, he was already famous. "

" Hahaha."

Wang Qingquan and Li Shaojie laughed silently. Mu Chenxi was lucky to find a good wife. , no one among them knows it, and it is something they cannot envy.

After waiting for about half an hour, the door to the examination room was slowly opened by the soldiers guarding the door. It was said that the prince had reported to the emperor that the people used for the examination were entirely seconded soldiers.

Those who originally started the examination were selected to provide guidance and supervision. Any mistakes should be pointed out and corrected in a timely manner. However, no one except soldiers was allowed to approach the students taking the examination.

Zhao Huan thought that there might be fraud in the scientific examination. Although the prince was not the examiner this time, his status naturally did not allow him to fail in the examination, otherwise he would not be able to face everyone.

"Take good care of yourself."

As he was about to queue up, Zhao Huan urged: "Be sure to eat well, and don't bother to drink more hot water."

He prepared a lot of food for Mu Chenxi, with Butler Wang guiding him. , Zhao Huan was well prepared, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

Mu Chenxi promised. He looked at the students around him. If it would take a long time to wait in line for inspection, "You go back first. We will queue up. Don't wait."

"I see . I'll let you in."

Zhao Huan didn't agree. He decided to wait until Mu Chenxi entered the examination room before leaving. "You don't have to worry about me, it's just for a while."

They were talking about the man who had sent letters to Mu Chenxi several times before. , came over again at this time and said, "Mu Juren, please come with me. I have arranged a place for you. Now you can go over and check into the examination room."

"Thank you."

Mu Juren smiled at him. He didn't expect the prince to be so thoughtful. Even this little thing was arranged for him, "Please lead the way."

"Daughter-in-law, I'm leaving."

Mu Chenxi turned to Zhao Huan and said to Zhao Huan, mentioning the roasted blueberries and some things, "Go back and rest quickly. Senior brother is here, you don't have to worry."

"Well, let's go."

Zhao Huan watched Mu Chenxi and the others leave, feeling a twinge of affection for the prince.

I have long heard rumors from Rongdu that the prince is gentle and kind, and treats the poor people very well. He treated the courtiers with courtesy and was not arrogant.

Except for the emperor who has shown some displeasure in recent years, some others have not appreciated it, and they all have great hopes for the prince.

Zhao Huan also discussed the actual situation with Mu Chenxi and speculated on the emperor's intentions. There are also rumors in Rongdu that the emperor prefers the son of a noble concubine and attaches great importance to the second prince.

There are several other princes, all of whom are favored by the emperor. Only the prince has been detained in Rongdu in recent years, dealing with some trivial matters, without any major achievements.

Zhao Huan speculated that the emperor was going to establish a new crown prince. Judging from various signs, no one would doubt the emperor's behavior.

The prince is mediocre and has no achievements. How can he be qualified to be the new king? The other princes are all important, especially the second prince. Now his voice is getting louder and louder. This is not a good sign.

Unexpectedly, Mu Chenxi curled her lips disdainfully and didn't care about this at all, "With the status of the prince, it doesn't matter how good the others are. They are not just responsible for running errands for the prince."

"The future monarch will naturally stick to Rongdu and take charge of the overall situation. No matter how hard they work and how many achievements they have made, they are just serving the emperor and sharing the government affairs for the prince."

Zhao Huan looked at Mu Chenxi's confident eyes and his confident words, and suddenly felt that what he said made sense. Uncle Guo also has the support of Jiang Haohai, so it is not so easy to step down.

His thoughts were racing, and Mu Chenxi and the others had arrived at the entrance of the examination room. As soon as they came over, the people in front of them got out of the way and let them wait there for inspection.

When the students behind saw this scene, no one objected to gossiping, because there were often family members and servants helping to line up, which was a matter of course.

"Everything goes smoothly for us, thanks to Mu Juren."

Wang Qingquan couldn't help but sigh. If they relied on themselves, this journey would not necessarily be so difficult. Now that Mu Chenxi is here, they have no effort at all and rely entirely on his arrangements.

"That's right, we really received a lot of favors."

Li Shaojie said, this was something they didn't expect. "I didn't expect Mu Juren to be so well-connected in Rongdu, and he could arrange everything down to the smallest detail."

Just as he was talking, some The sergeant brought the table over, placed it at the entrance of the examination room and began to inspect it. Mu Chenxi and the others were the first to bear the brunt.

"Hey!"

One of the middle-aged sergeants, who looked like a general, looked at Mu Chenxi with a smile, "Xiao Juren, you are dressed very tightly. Except for your two eyes, which have to be exposed, you can't see anything else.

"Yes." Mu

Chenxi said in a cheerful voice, deliberately showing off to Zhao Huan: "My wife is afraid that I will be cold, so she wears tight clothes on me in the winter. The skin on my face is very thin."

"Hahaha.

" When General Nian heard this, he couldn't stop laughing, "Okay, I'm so lucky to have a good wife."

"Yes."

Mu Chenxi also smiled brightly. At this time, he had taken off his mask and revealed a Little White Teeth, like a general, introduced the things in their Wenxinfang, "Uncle, look at these things I brought. They are soft and warm. They are also very suitable for your military camp."

"Whether it is training or fighting, it doesn't bother you at all. It can protect you from the severe cold. My friend's military camp is using these now. The sergeants all like them very much. They haven't suffered from frostbite for a long time."

Mu Chenxi first wanted to use this opportunity to make a business, and secondly, he watched. Those who suffered in the severe cold felt a little unbearable.

"Yes, that's what the little judge said."

The general nodded and said, casually pulling out a pair of gloves from his waist, "Look, we have some too, but Rongdu is the only one, but we just don't want to wear them."

"Eh? Mu Chenxi looked a little hesitant. He rolled his eyes and immediately knew which military camp they were from. "

I dare to ask, uncle, you are from the 3000th Camp of the West Camp. They are the only ones who have these gloves."

"Oh. "

The general was a little surprised and asked, "Xiao Juren, how do you know this?"

"Hey."

Mu Chenxi smiled shyly. This was not a relationship, "We donated it to them through our friends. Wen Xin . " The workshop is run by my family, so I know where these things are. My friend is in the military camp. He tried these things and recommended them to the military camps without delaying training and operations. However, most of his friends wrote that they would not allow it. He liked it very much, but they couldn't buy it without approving the military supply, so we gave him a set as a gift to his friend's military camp, the 3000th Camp of the West Camp."

"Oh."

The general looked Mu Chenxi up and down and said nothing. He waved his hand to ask the inspecting soldiers to move faster, "Move quickly. There are so many people going through the inspection for any time, so be careful not to mess up things."

Mu Chenxi watched herself being baked, being checked over by them, and then put away as they were. When he came to me, he said "Thank you" and took his things to the examination room.

The general whispered a few words to the people around him, and one of them caught up with Mu Chenxi, took his roasted blue and said: "General, let us send the candidates to their dormitories."

The general watched Mu Chenxi follow him The sent person walked away, and couldn't help feeling that it was a coincidence. They were not on duty this time, but the temporary emperor sent the prince to invigilate the exam, so they came instead. They were also destined to each other.

He is Liu Qingfeng's friend, so he naturally knows about Mu Chenxi. , now I met him by chance, and I was favored by him, so I should take care of him.

All this was reported to the prince's ears. He smiled freely and whispered softly, "Good people are rewarded, and Tiancheng does not deceive others. This is what he deserves."

Chapter 105

Mu Chenxi was very successful in the examination room, and everyone loved him. He was good-looking and sweet-tongued without any pretensions, so the sergeants took great care of him under the orders of the general.

Water, charcoal and candles are all in sufficient supply. The prince has orders to do his best to ensure the needs of the students. In particular, charcoal fire must be in sufficient supply, and the scientific examination cannot be affected by the cold.

"Brother Mu."

The students in the dormitory across from Mu Chenxi eagerly smelled the aroma of the porridge he was cooking, "Can you exchange half a bowl of porridge with Brother Mu? Brother Mu can choose what I have here."

"Why are you so polite?"

Mu Chenxi After hearing his request, he knew that it was difficult for him to eat dry food, so he gave him a bowl of porridge. "I brought enough rice. I don't need to exchange anything for it. I just drink it." "

Thank you, Brother Mu."

The student opposite looked grateful and a little unhappy. He said politely: "I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach today. I don't dare to eat dry food anymore, so I have the nerve to ask for it. Please forgive me, Brother Mu."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Chenxi put down the porridge bowl in his hand and said: " I feel sick to my stomach, why didn't I tell him earlier?"

He walked to the place where he kept the roasted vegetables, took out a pill, turned around and walked to the door of the dormitory, stretched out his hand and handed it to the student and said, "My wife prepared this for me. The pills are mainly for gastric discomfort. You should take one pill first."

Mu Chenxi saw that this student was slender and looked like he was not in good health. He was much weaker than the average person. "Brother, you need to exercise more. Literary men also need a good physique. My daughter-in-law said, if you can't handle it in the examination room, how can you work hard as an official and set an example for the people to lead them to prosperity? "

Brother

Mu said with shame. It makes sense. You should pay attention to it in the future."

Mu Chenxi blinked and saw a blush on his face, and couldn't help but said: "Brother Li is so talented that he is as good as Mr. Yu in the world. He is almost as good-looking as me. "

It's noon. The prince came to inspect and see how the students were eating and that the water supply was sufficient. He happened to hear Mu Chenxi's words.

He turned around and saw Mu Chenxi touching his cheek and boasting, "My wife said that I look good. She has never seen such a handsome person in her life. She especially likes my innocence." , and my kind, lovely, lively and cheerful nature."

Mu Chenxi used some words of praise for herself, and her face didn't feel red at all, because Zhao Huan really said so.

However, that was before he had recovered his memory, so there was some intention of coaxing him. Zhao Huan always praised and encouraged him when he was obsessed with scoundrels, and Mu Chenxi naturally accepted it as a matter of course.

He spoke particularly passionately, his smart eyes were vivid and his cheeks were rosy, just in line with those words. He was really handsome and unparalleled, his figure was transcendent.

The prince couldn't help but laugh when he saw his appearance: Junior brother is so cute, no wonder the teacher and the others love him so much, even the sergeants like to talk to him more.

He himself didn't realize that he doted on Mu Chenxi a little more, just like a child who didn't grow up and needed a lot of pampering.

Mu Chenxi expected that most of the other students would not be able to do the questions at noon, so she chatted with Li Hongyu without any scruples. After he boasted about himself, he started talking about the things in his Wenxinfang.

After selling it again, he said regretfully: "Unfortunately, those can only be sold in the north. There are currently insufficient manpower. Rongdu and other places have to wait to buy such good things."

Li Hongyu listened with interest, while While drinking the porridge from the bowl, he asked: "Brother Mu is so familiar with Wenxinfang, and he seems to like the things they make."

At this time, a person's voice came, "That is opened by his family, and there is a Mu Yixuan is particularly famous. His wife's carving skills are famous there."

When Mu Chenxi heard this familiar voice, she looked out of the dormitory and was happy, "It's Brother Qi, I'm still in the examination room. I looked for you at the door. I didn't expect to meet you just now."

Qi Junfeng smiled slightly, "I've seen you for a long time. Your sign is very conspicuous, but you were far away and didn't say hello."

"Good morning, classmates. They are coming to Rongdu. We haven't contacted each other for a while. Let's get together when we have time."

Mu Chenxi warmly invited. The previous grudges have long since passed. "After the meeting, I will tell Brother Qi the address. If you have time, you can come. Brother Wang and Brother Li are with me."

"Okay, I will contact the people in our academy,"

Qi Junfeng said with a smile, knowing Mu Chenxi's lively nature, "If there are other students, I will take them with them . Come over."

"Okay, welcome."

Mu Chenxi agreed happily. Although their voices were not high, many people could still hear them clearly in the quiet place of the examination room.

During their conversation, some students, influenced by Mu Chenxi's cheerful voice, gradually stretched their heads out of the dormitory, wanting to see what kind of person could still maintain such a good attitude at this time.

And it also gradually calmed down their restless mood. Now they no longer feel so nervous, but much more relaxed.

But some people just didn't let them get what they wanted, and one person sarcastically said, "You know that you can't pass the exam, so you have completely given up on doing the questions, treating this place as a gathering place, and starting to speak freely without any scruples?" "

Is it you ? I'm afraid I won't pass the exam, so I don't even dare to say a word."

Before others could react, Mu Chenxi had already spoken and said, "We are all confident, so we don't have to worry about the questions. Faced with a frank mentality, those who are not willing to let go of this little free time at noon seem to have no confidence at all. "

" Huh, you are not ashamed of your words."

There was no trace of the student, only his voice was heard, "A group of uneducated and ignorant people. You are a disciple of martial arts, but you ignore the teachings of the saint and openly make noise in the examination room to influence other students. It shows that you are morally corrupt and despicable."

"It's noon time,"

Mu Chenxi looked in the direction of the voice. If you don't want to take a break, you shouldn't make demands on other people if you have moral etiquette. Learning is a daily achievement. It's a joke that this little bit can guarantee you high school."

"I am a scholar, so I should seize every moment. moment."

The student replied, still sitting in his dormitory, taunting Mu Chenxi, "It's such an insult to someone like you who doesn't respect knowledge to come to the examination room."

"Eh? "

Mu Chenxi's eyes lit up. He was still an eloquent person, but he was too harsh on people, without any respect or friendliness. He felt it was best to deal with such people.

"Hiding your head and showing your tail, you have no face to see others."

Mu Chenxi provoked the student with a simple sentence.

He had a serious and handsome face, with his brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape. With eyes full of anger, he looked at Mu Chenxi and shouted, "You rude person."

"You are right, don't speak loudly."

Mu Chenxi smiled "Hehe", "It's a pity that a good person can be so rude and loud. Disturbing the examination room, do you want to expel me?"

"Uh."

Gao Xing was startled, and his impression of Mu Chenxi was even worse. "You are the one who disturbed the examination room, and you came here to gossip. This is a sacred place, how can you allow you to act like this?"

Although he said this, his voice became softer. many. Although Mu Chenxi and the others spoke, their volume was not high, and only a few dormitories nearby could hear them.

Gao Xing was tired of them talking and didn't want to hear topics that had nothing to do with the exam, so he decided to taunt him, thinking that they would calm down a bit to save face. Unexpectedly, Mu Chenxi refused to give in and openly quarreled with him.

"I'm just messing around, what can you do to me?"

Mu Chenxi was not angry at all. Looking at his angry eyes, it felt very funny.

"Are you here to hit me, or are you going to hit me? If you can't, just calm down. Why do you come out here when you have nothing to do? You are not so beautiful that people can spoil you, or you just have an old, donkey, face. What's the point of being complacent? "

Mu Chenxi didn't look like a gentleman at all at this moment, his attitude seemed to be that of a scoundrel, messing around.

But he has a good attitude and an innocent and cute smile. Even if his words are ungentlemanly, they are not annoying but make people laugh.

Mu Chenxi's words stunned Gao Xing. He looked at Mu Chenxi blankly, not knowing what to say. He was quite at a loss and gave people a feeling of embarrassment.

In fact, when he spoke out, Mu Chenxi reflected that she was wrong and wanted to shut up and stop talking.

This is not in the academy, but in the examination room. At noon, this is when the students are eating or resting, so I shouldn't gossip about family matters.

But Gao Xing didn't ask him to keep quiet, nor did he directly attack him. Instead, he made rude remarks and ridiculed him. Mu Chenxi couldn't bear it.

At this time, Mu Chenxi saw Gao Gao's excitement and embarrassment, her face turned red and white with embarrassment, she couldn't help but pursed her lips, and sighed inwardly: That's all, looking at him, he looked like he was studying stupidly. His upright and honest appearance was ruined by those few inappropriate words, and he seemed to be a pedantic and dull person.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have disturbed my brother's peace by thinking about everyone relaxing regardless of the occasion."

Mu Chenxi raised his hand and saluted Gao Xing to apologize, but he still reminded him, "Brother, if you feel uneasy again in the future, , Just speak frankly if you have something to say, it's okay even if you have an opinion to vent your dissatisfaction, but it's better not to say such sarcastic words easily, as it will hurt others and yourself."

Gao

Xing listened to his words and reflected on his own attitude and those sarcasm. His words were really unpalatable, and he apologized with a guilty look on his face, "I was too harsh in what I said. I will pay attention to my words and deeds in the future and apologize to everyone."

He knew that he was uneasy and impetuous, so it was not Mu Chenxi's fault to mind those words. Fortunately, the other party is generous and tolerant, otherwise my reputation will become unbearable in the future.

"Ahem, cough, cough."

When the prince saw the smoke coming to an end, he couldn't help but fall in love with Mu Chenxi even more. He signaled for them to return to their dormitories quickly and stop disturbing others' peace with any more words.

When the students heard these sounds, they turned their heads and looked in the direction where the prince was standing. They saw a handsome young man in splendid clothes and jade belt, with a gentle and noble look on his face, looking at them with a smile on his lips.

"Yo!"

Someone shouted in surprise, and then all the students who stretched out their heads immediately retracted into their dormitories. Everyone knew that the prince was in charge of invigilating the exam this time, so it was easy to guess that this person was probably the prince without knowing him.

When the prince saw this situation, he couldn't help but smile and did not say anything harsh about the matter. He could understand their mood at the moment, and it was inevitable that they would be in a bad mood and have a quarrel.

He glanced at Mu Chenxi, who was looking at him with little stars in his eyes, looking at him with admiration, as if he was a great hero who dominated the audience as soon as he appeared.

The prince stretched out his hand and pointed at him in the air, turned and left with a smile, and did not visit the residence again.

"Hehe."

Mu Chenxi laughed stupidly. The senior brother was the one who escorted the junior brother. He was able to appear in time at this moment and suppress all the students at once. No one dared to have an opinion against him.

He happily sat back in his dormitory. After eating and talking, the fight was over and it was time to get down to business.

.........

Three days later, Mu Chenxi walked out of the examination room. He looked around for Zhao Huan. This was the first time they were separated.

"Chenxi."

Zhao Huan had been waiting outside for a long time, watching Mu Chenxi looking for him in the crowd, and quickly ignored everyone around him, "I'm here."

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi laughed happily, "Hahaha , I'm out."

The students on the side looked at him and couldn't help but smile. After spending three days there, I felt like I was returning home. Even students from other places wanted to go back and rest early.

"I'm in good spirits, but I've lost a little weight."

Mu Chenxi watched Zhao Huan look him up and down, and pulled him to act coquettishly, "I think of my wife. I will never take the exam again."

"I'll take the exam again if I pass the exam . "What?"

Zhao Huan said with a smile, pulling Mu Chenxi out of the crowd, "Go back and rest early. I've prepared some food for you. Eat less." " Brother Wang

, are they coming out?"

The houses were not together, and I didn't see them when I came out.

"Brother Liu is out."

Zhao Huan said, pointing to the carriage in the distance, "He should be in the carriage. Uncle Wang has prepared some water for you to give you a brief scrub. There are also some meals in the carriage. Okay. Let's eat less to warm our stomachs."

"Okay."

Mu Chenxi and the others got in the car and went home directly. Uncle Wang was waiting for Wang Qingquan and the others.

Time passed slowly like this. After three exams, it was time to wait until the results were released.

Wang Qingquan got up early in the morning to prepare, "Hurry up, let's go to the Zhuangyuan Building and wait. It's close to the place where the results are released, so we can hear the news early."

"What's the rush?"

Liu Wenqing rolled his eyes at him, "Dong Zhao's family has already reserved a private room. "Just wait until the time is almost up. Didn't you see that Mu Juren and the others haven't come yet?"

"Here they come."

Li Shaojie was also a little out of breath. He saw Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi coming from a distance and hurriedly greeted them. Go forward, "Shall we go now?"

"Let's go."

Mu Chenxi waved her hand and strode in front of them, "Uncle Wang is ready to reward the money. We just go to the Zhuangyuan Building to play."

Chapter 106

"Master, there's a traffic jam ahead."

The coachman said outside. He looked at the traffic in front of him, which was all heading towards the Zhuangyuan Building. "Should we go around or should we stop now? I guess there will be a blockage on the other side."

" Don't go around, let's walk over."

Zhao Huan opened the car curtain and found that it was only one street. "It's not easy to go on that road at this time."

"We're not too late, it seems we are in a hurry. There are a lot of people."

Mu Chenxi got out of the car first. He stretched out his hand to help Zhao Huan down, "There should be a lot of people watching the excitement. This is close to the place where the Ministry of Rites releases the results. If you all come this way, there will be more people soon.

"Come and join in the fun at this time." Zhao

Huan shook his head. As a Rongdu citizen, he should be used to it. "Let's go there first. It won't be easy to walk around because there will be many people

at

this time ." I also got off the carriage and saw a constant flow of people and traffic near Zhuangyuan Tower, making it difficult for the car to pass.

"We're all here to see the list. I heard that there are people helping to catch my son-in-law."

Mu Chenxi smiled and touched his chin, looked at the three of them and said, "You should try it. Maybe there will be a good story. "

"Indeed."

Liu Wenqing nodded and smiled at Wang Qingquan: "Brother Wang, you go try it first. If you meet an official lady, we will all rely on you in the future."

"Hahaha. Wang Qingquan

knew that they were teasing him and was not angry. He put his arm around Liu Wenqing's shoulders and said, "Come on, I'll take you over now to wait for someone to catch your son-in-law. If there is an official lady, you will be the first to pick him."

They talked and laughed all the way, walking through the increasingly crowded crowd, and arrived in front of the Zhuangyuan Tower.

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi stood by his side tightly, "We're not crowding you, are we?"

"No, this person came up too fast."

Zhao Huan turned around and looked at the way he came. At this time, there were already crowds of people behind him. If people want to squeeze in, it will take a lot of effort.

They entered the Zhuangyuan Building, which was already crowded with people. Some of them were talking loudly and energetically, as if they were confident.

Some were relatively quiet, silently watching the students taking exams in the building, listening to a few words and taking it as a way to relieve their boredom, but without exception, they all looked forward to it, hoping to know the results of the exams earlier.

Zhao Huan and his entourage went to the box on the second floor. Wang Qingquan and his several other boys, after they were seated, couldn't wait to go together to where the list was released.

Everyone wants to let their young master see the list as soon as possible, and strive to be the first one to announce the good news. It would be even more joyful if he could be praised a few words.

About half an hour later, the sound of gongs was heard from the Ministry of Rites, and the announcement of the list officially began. Suddenly there was a commotion in the No. 1 Scholar Building, and people on the street rushed to post the list to get out of the crowd.

For a while, there was a lot of people and it was a lively scene. At this time, everyone was excited and anxiously waiting for the moment of revelation.

"Daughter-in-law, you have tea."

Mu Chenxi saw Zhao Huan staring at the lobby downstairs and frequently looking at the street outside the building, thinking that he was also anxious, "Don't worry, you will always win."

"That's right.

Li Shaojie couldn't help but smile when he heard what he said: "If Mu Juren fails, we have no hope."

"How could it be possible?" Mu

Chenxi smiled at him, "Sometimes luck is important, and my wife is here." , which makes me quite confident."

"Oh."

Zhao Huan was secretly surprised by his words. He was usually very arrogant, but he became more modest today. "You know the word humility."

"Of course."

With a gentle smile in her eyes, Mu Chenxi looked at Zhao Huan and said in a brisk tone: "But when I saw you, I forgot about you. With your wife here, what do I have to worry about? Even if I fail, I still have You, that's enough."

The last sentence made Zhao Huan's face heat up. Mu Chenxi often said this to him regardless of the occasion, which made Zhao Huan, who had little idea of ​​feelings, always blush, but Mu Chenxi was always the same. It seems natural. "That

's right."

Liu Wenqing took Mu Chenxi's words at this time, "You have your wife. Needless to say, you must be very lucky. You might be able to get a Huiyuan."

"I don't want to."

Mu Chenxi shook his head quickly, with a serious look on his face . He said: "The first place is not suitable for me. I just need to be ranked third because of my appearance."

"Haha."

Zhao Huan couldn't help laughing when he heard how narcissistic he was, "If you want to rely on your face to make a living, you must also have real talent and learning. "The knowledge of Tanhua is sometimes no worse than that of Number One Scholar."

"That's why I want to be Tanhua."

Mu Chenxi straightened up and said confidently, "This can prove that my knowledge and appearance are both the best."

Suddenly, the following . There was a noise, someone had been hit, and a boy ran in to announce the good news. Congratulations suddenly started to come one after another, and even strangers stood up to say congratulations.

The shopkeeper winked and asked the waiter to set off firecrackers to celebrate, and then came forward to congratulate him. This was a common procedure for every year's examination.

Although the ones currently selected are the last few, this is a test for all the top students in Da Rong, and even the last one is extremely glorious.

Everyone knows that the list is placed from back to front, so those students who have outstanding literary talent are not in a hurry. They are anxious in their hearts but look calm on their faces.

Then the servants and the police officers came one after another to announce the good news. The congratulations continued. After a lot of noise, several students in the high school were in high spirits and gradually became quiet again.

The people on the first list should have finished their registration, and the students living in the Zhuangyuan Building are looking forward to the next list to see how many people are still in high school here.

"Alas!"

Wang Qingquan sighed slightly and said with a wry smile: "I knew there was little hope for high school, but it seems I still didn't work hard enough." "

This is the first one."

Zhao Huan saw that he was in a low mood and comforted him: "The more you The ranking will be higher as you go forward. If you want to hear your name now, don't you expect yourself to count down?"

"Don't worry,"

Mu Chenxi and the others also advised, "Brother Wang is already confident in his knowledge. I said it, if your ranking is too low, wouldn't it be an embarrassment to our academy?"

Everyone would say comforting words, but they were not as nice as what Mu Chenxi said. Wang Qingquan smiled gratefully: "Mu Juren can inspire people. Now I'm secretly hoping that I will do better in the exam."

Everyone waited for a while, and the second list came out. There were more students living in the building who were in high school, and the lively scene just now was repeated.

Just when Wang Qingquan couldn't sit still and was standing in front of the railing on the second floor, pacing back and forth, his servant finally ran in panting. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he shouted excitedly, "Master, I'm hit.

" With sweat on his face and excitement on his face, he raised his head and looked at Wang Qingquan at the railing on the second floor and yelled crazily, "You won, the young master is in high school. He is ranked 212th. This time he will take 244." Eighteen students."

"Hahaha."

Wang Qingquan was immediately ecstatic, "Hahaha, I got it, I got it."

He kept laughing, tears gradually overflowed from his laughing eyes, and his voice gradually choked up, "I got it, I got it, No more burning the midnight oil to study, no more worrying."

Wang

Qingquan squatted down, his shoulders shaking, trying to suppress the tears that were about to come out. The torturous days were finally over.

When Zhao Huan and the others saw him like this, they all felt sad in their hearts. Wang Qingquan was not a person with outstanding talents. His path to education relied entirely on hard work, and everyone could see how much hardship he endured.

None of them came forward to comfort him, leaving him to vent his emotions. After this catharsis, it will be of great benefit to himself, both mentally and physically.

Just like the high school students downstairs just now, all kinds of things in the world are going on. No one is mocking or looking down on them. They all feel the same and understand the ups and downs.

"Huh?"

Mu Chenxi said suddenly. He looked downstairs, "Isn't that Uncle Wang? Why is he here?"

"There must be something wrong."

Zhao Huan stood up and looked at Uncle Wang who was hurriedly coming to the lobby and asked: "Uncle Wang, is there anything urgent?"

"Yes, yes!"

Uncle Wang downstairs heard the voice, looked up and saw Zhao Huan and the others, and happily raised the letter in his hand, "Happy event, big happy event."

After saying that He turned around and went up to the second floor. He handed the letter in his hand to Mu Chenxi and the others, "I got it, I got it all. Go back and wait for the person who brought the good news!"

Mu Chenxi took the letter and opened it. , couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, "Daughter-in-law, I have fulfilled my fate for my husband and won the first Huiyuan."

"Really, let me see."

Zhao Huan was so happy that he didn't notice the word "husband" in Mu Chenxi's mouth. , took the letter and looked at the contents.

"Ha."

Zhao Huan waved the letter in his hand to Liu Wenqing and the others, "I won, I won. Chenxi also won Huiyuan."

"Daughter-in-law, don't be excited."

Mu Chenxi took the letter in his hand, " Let's tell Brother Liu their ranking first."

"Okay."

Zhao Huan was excited. He had never asked Mu Chenxi about his studies and didn't want to put pressure on him, but he didn't expect that he was really so good after bragging about his knowledge every day. , he thought Mu Chenxi was trying to make him happy!

"Brother Liu is ranked 182 in high school, Brother Li is ranked 130 in high school, and Brother Wang is ranked 212 in high school."

Mu Chenxi raised his hand and saluted, "Congratulations to everyone, we are all in high school this time."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

Liu Wenqing and the others returned the gift happily. Wang Qingquan also calmed down and smiled at Mu Chenxi: "As expected of Mu Juren, he is indeed one step ahead. He won the prize. Huiyuan, you really shine!"

"It's just a fluke."

Mu Chenxi smiled lightly. He knew that his ranking would not be too low, but he was not too proud to win the Huiyuan. "People are afraid of being famous, and they are afraid of being strong. The pressure of the palace examination. That's it."

He said this, but the expression on his face did not change. He turned to Zhao Huan and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, you have to comfort me."

"Hahaha"

Wang Qingquan and the others didn't think he was serious. They all laughed, "We do need comfort. Mu Juren is weak and fragile. Without the comfort of Mr. Zhao, he might be timid."

"Okay, let's go back and celebrate you."

Zhao Huan curled his lips and smiled, reaching out to touch Mu Chenxi's forehead, "Just You can make trouble."

After that, congratulations and rewards were indispensable for the messengers. Zhao Huan and the others had a great time, and then it was time to prepare for the palace examination, and Wang Qingquan and the others plunged into studying hard.

Mu Chenxi is also diligent in his studies, but he is not blind to what is happening outside the window. He always sets aside part of his time to accompany Zhao Huan. In his heart, his wife cannot be ignored at any time.

.........

A month later, during the palace examination, Mu Chenxi and other students were sitting at attention in the palace, waiting for the emperor to come out in person to answer the examination questions.

In the quiet hall, as the eunuch said "The Emperor has arrived,"

the students stood up to greet and bow. Mu Chenxi secretly saw the prince accompanying him, and there were many courtiers behind him.

The emperor, on the other hand, is just like what the teacher and others said. He is indeed handsome and extraordinary, with a noble air lingering around him and a majestic look that is intimidating.

This emperor seemed to be a man of action. As soon as he sat down, he asked people to show him questions. His eyes patrolled the hall so that the students did not even dare to take a peek.

Mu Chenxi turned on again at this time. When he was reading and doing questions, he completely ignored the functions around him. He did not see the eyes of the emperor, the prince and some courtiers falling on him.

When he finished the question and checked that it was correct, he took a long breath, dipped his pen and ink in one go, and transcribed the article on rice paper.

After he put down his pen, he was in the mood to secretly take a look at his surroundings. Seeing that the students were still writing furiously, it seemed that they were all at the last moment.

"Bring his test paper."

The emperor suddenly spoke and said to the eunuch accompanying him. The direction of his finger was clearly Mu Chenxi, who was in the first place.

Mu Chenxi, as Huiyuan, sat in the first seat in the middle, facing the direction of the emperor. The distance was so close that when he raised his head, he saw the emperor's eyes falling on him. He couldn't help but show a gentle smile, as if to say hello. Usually nod and smile.

A pair of bright and flexible eyes, a delicate yet heroic face, seemed to be flowing with dazzling light, making people fall in love with him at first glance. The emperor could not help but be infected by him, with a faint smile on his lips.

After the emperor read the article, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He is indeed a disciple favored by the emperor. His literary talent, character, and appearance are outstanding. What's more valuable is that he has an innocent heart.

After the palace examination, Mu Chenxi and the others exited the hall one after another. The papers were marked on the second day after the palace examination, and the roll call was held on the third day. When they reappeared, they would be successful and famous.

.........

When there was no human voice at night, Mu Chenxi hugged Zhao Huan, "Daughter-in-law, we may not be able to leave Rongdu."

"Then stay, what's the difference?"

Zhao Huan said lightly, they They didn't want to stay here, thinking that it would be an outing, but seeing that Mu Chenxi was going to enter the Imperial Academy, other people's hopes were nothing more than that in their eyes.

"At that time, we can let Muyixuan and Wenxinfang open here, wouldn't it be great?"

Mu Chenxi smiled slightly in the dark, "Yes, it's great."

Zhao Huan is not a person who is keen on fame and fortune. Mu Chenxi was relieved now that he had no resistance to the unplanned matter.

Chapter 107 (End of text)

On the day of roll call, Mu Chenxi and the other students quietly waited for the emperor's call.

The emperor in the Golden Palace has already decided on the top ten. Once he has seen their appearance and selected the top pick, he can have people roll their names in front of the palace.

As soon as he stretched out his hand to indicate that it was time to start, the great eunuch immediately came out of the palace to announce his audience.

Mu Chenxi and others walked into the main hall. They all lowered their heads slightly and did not dare to offend Tianyan. They knelt down and kowtowed to see the emperor.

"Ping Shen."

The emperor's voice was majestic, and his sharp eyes slowly scanned back and forth on their faces. When he saw Mu Chenxi again, he couldn't help but shake his head.

If it weren't for the emperor's master, Mu Chenxi himself had outstanding literary talent. He really wanted to select him as the third flower, but unfortunately he couldn't at this time.

"Li Hongyu is the man who discovered the beauty."

In one sentence, the emperor appointed Li Hongyu. Although his appearance was not as good as Mu Chenxi's, he was more suitable than others.

Not only does the handsome man need to have outstanding appearance, but also his body and temperament. He should not be too handsome and upright, nor should he be feminine and weak. He should be moderate in all aspects.

"Your Majesty."

Taifu Chen came out. He looked at Mu Chenxi and said, "I think Hui Yuan seems to be more qualified to be the scout. I don't know why the emperor has appointed people who are not as good as him."

As soon as he said this, the civil and military officials in the palace were also impressed. It was strange, but this was not a big deal, so naturally no one intervened, and they all looked at Taifu Li to see what he meant

. "Haha."

The emperor looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile, "Taifu has a fiery eye, but it's a pity that there is no invigilator this time, so I don't know. Why don't you choose the third flower?"

"There are so many talented people in this examination, all of them are outstanding in literary talent and appearance. There is no need to be wronged by our Huiyuan being ranked third,"

the emperor said, looking at the civil and military officials in the palace. He seems to speak easily, and everyone with a discerning eye knows his true nature. He has become more and more powerful in recent years, and no one dares to come forward to express different opinions.

Seeing the top ten in the palace, it was as the emperor said that there was no one with mediocre looks. Li Hongyu, the man who had been appointed as the concubine, was only inferior to Huiyuan.

If compared with other people, it cannot be said that he is the best in all aspects. He has an excellent appearance and is suave, but he is the most suitable person.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Everyone suddenly shouted. Even Mr. Chen stepped forward to see if he could fight for it because he had his own thoughts. If not, he would naturally retreat.

"Roll call."

The emperor's eyebrows became gentler, as if everything would not change. As the person with the most absolute power in Da Rong, he should appoint someone to be the top pick for such a small matter. If there are still people who come out to stop it, then they should really let it go. That man goes to hell.

Mu Chenxi has been secretly thinking about it. When he and Zhao Huan said that he was the most beautiful girl, he had thought about his appearance. The tradition of the past dynasties is to select the most outstanding appearance, body posture, general demeanor and affability to be the most beautiful girl.

Unexpectedly, the emperor did not follow common sense. Mu Chenxi didn't know why, but he recognized and was grateful for the fact that all the students in this examination were outstanding.

Mu Chenxi used to only focus on becoming an official. Now her mentality has changed slightly, but she does not seek to make progress. No one would not expect or desire the position of No. 1.

They exited the hall and waited outside for the roll call. As expected, Mu Chenxi was selected as the top pick, Gao Xing was the second pick, and Li Hongyu was chosen as the most beautiful girl.

Mu Chenxi did not expect that they would have such a fate. At that time, the examination room numbers were similar, which caused a small dispute, but now they are standing side by side.

"Congratulations to the No. 1 Scholar."

Before Mu Chenxi could congratulate them, Gao Xing and Li Hongyu had already congratulated them first. They had turned their hostility into friendship during the palace examination.

"Same joy."

Mu Chenxi returned the gift with a smile. They had to ride horses together and parade through the streets now, so they had no time to talk. "We must have a few more drinks at the dinner to celebrate today's glory."

"Of course."

"Definitely."

Gao Xing and Li Hongyu looked at each other and smiled, and made an agreement with Mu Chenxi that they would enter the Hanlin Academy together, so they naturally wanted to get closer.

.........

Mu Chenxi and the three of them, wearing official hats and red flowers on their bodies, were riding on tall horses. There were officials in front of them sounding gongs to clear the way. They were really majestic and high-spirited.

Each of them was talented and beautiful, and they were young and charming. They provoked some young girls in the spring to exclaim frequently. Silk flowers, handkerchiefs and various fruit pastries were directly greeted by Mu Chenxi.

As the number one pick, he was ranked first, with delicate and handsome features. He immediately surpassed Gao Xing and Li Hongyu who were behind him. At this time, some people had forgotten that the third-ranked Tan Hua Lang should be the one who deserved this treatment the most.

"Thank you, thank you so much."

Mu Chenxi did not dodge this. He really didn't want to affect his image and let others see his embarrassed and evasive side, so he generously expressed his gratitude to everyone in return.

Handsome and Wushuang's gentle and reasonable attitude attracted the love of the people on both sides of the street. They all shouted and threw things in his direction.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Mu Chenxi pursed her lips and smiled, with a hint of shyness on her face, and said loudly: "It's better not to give this to you. Mu has already been married and will definitely live up to this good intention. I really feel guilty and can't bear it."

"Haha . Haha."

There was a burst of laughter from the surroundings. This champion was so honest. It was just a meaning, but he took it seriously.

Someone who liked to joke suddenly shouted to Mu Chenxi: "No. 1 Scholar, no one wants to take you as my son-in-law. I just want to congratulate you on your high school. You don't have to be cautious and don't dare to accept it."

"Hahaha."

There was another burst of laughter. , even some shy daughters looked at Mu Chenxi dumbfounded at this time. This number one scholar is really interesting, he said it as if someone wanted him as his son-in-law.

"Haha."

Mu Chenxi chuckled, and raised his hands to the people around him who were laughing kindly, "Thank you all for your love. Mu appreciates this affection."

Of course he knew what it meant, but he just didn't want anyone to do it to him again. Throwing things in front of him, some of the closer ones hit him, and he couldn't dodge back and forth. It was really unbearable, so he said something to make the people watching laugh, hoping to expose this matter.

When they arrived at the Zhuangyuan Building, Mu Chenxi seemed to feel something. He looked up and saw Wang Qingquan shouting: "Zhuangyuan Man."

He saw Zhao Huan, with a smile on his face, standing on the second floor of the Zhuangyuan Building with Wang Qingquan, Li Shaojie and Liu Wenqing. floor window. He was about to wave, but when Zhao Huan raised his hand, something came towards him.

Mu Chenxi hurriedly retracted her hand and took it, holding something wrapped in a handkerchief. He pinched it gently, and the smile on his lips gradually became sweeter. These were the snacks Zhao Huan had packed for him.

He winked at Zhao Huan, his smile was brighter than ever before, he put the handkerchief in his arms, and patted it with his hand to reassure Zhao Huan.

Mu Chenxi will not go back for the whole day today. If he has to stay for the dinner, it will be late at night when he goes back. No wonder Zhao Huan is worried about Mu Chenxi, fearing that he will be hungry if he takes too long.

Zhao Huan nodded to express his understanding. Seeing Mu Chenxi's peerless appearance and high-spirited aura, he felt comforted.

Mu Chenxi finally got the fame and success he wanted, and Zhao Huan also completed his original mission to train and guide Mu Chenxi to success.

The most gratifying thing is that the two of them have the same mind and will never be separated in this life. They will join hands for a lifetime. Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi's wishes are fulfilled at this time.

.........

At the dinner, the students who took the examination gathered together. They were now Jinshi and also belonged to the ranks of Darong officials.

Each has infinite scenery, and their faces are full of hope for the future, which is also the beginning of their ambitions.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

The eunuch shouted loudly, and the Emperor led the civil and military officials to the dinner party, with the Crown Prince and other princes accompanying him.

The emperor's attitude tonight was gentle, not as serious and cold as before. He smiled and looked at the young and outstanding new scholars present, "You have studied hard for many years, and today you are able to stand out. It is really gratifying to congratulate you. Don't be cautious, please be open-minded. Let's talk and have a few drinks."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Mu Chenxi and the others bowed to express their gratitude.

During the dinner, they recited poems and talked loudly, and everyone enjoyed themselves while drinking and drinking. During this period, the emperor occasionally joined in their conversations, allowing people to see his loving side.

Mu Chenxi thought of some comments made by her teacher and Amber about the emperor, and was not surprised by this. Other examination students also responded calmly and thanked the Emperor for his benevolence.

Only in recent years, the courtiers who have suffered from the emperor's cold-blooded and cold-blooded methods secretly murmured in their hearts that the emperor's behavior is just a joke. There

are people with no eyes everywhere. If the emperor shows his closeness, someone will stand up and cause trouble. , and it is also called a beautiful story that a talented man and a beautiful woman should have.

"Your Majesty."

Taifu Chen stood up again at this time, "I see that the number one scholar is both talented and beautiful, and he is the pillar of the country. I have a love for talents. I remember that the emperor has granted me a marriage and I want to marry him as my son-in-law. I also ask the emperor to make it happen."

Taifu said this. When he came out, the lively atmosphere of the banquet suddenly stopped. It was really strange that something like this happened.

When the ministers of the DPRK choose a son-in-law, they have negotiated it behind the scenes. Only those who have a good reputation in front of the emperor will ask for a favor in the golden palace, which means that it is a match made in heaven and the icing on the cake.

This was still a dinner party. Looking at the confused look on Mu Chenxi's face, the number one scholar, he guessed that he didn't know anything about it. I'm afraid that Mr. Chen was not trying to force someone into trouble.

Today in the Golden Palace, he wanted to ask the emperor to appoint Mu Chenxi as the bridegroom. Could it be for the purpose of recruiting a son-in-law? It has been said since ancient times that the bridegroom was granted a marriage by the emperor. Could it be that Mr. Chen wanted to be perfect in every aspect?

"Your Majesty."

Mu Chenxi didn't wait for the Emperor to speak, and hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to salute and said: "I have been married for many years, and I have failed to live up to the kindness of the Taifu, so I ask the Emperor to atone for my sins."

"As a man, there is no harm in having three wives and four concubines."

"That's right, It is truly a great blessing in life to enjoy the blessings of being surrounded by people."

Mu Chenxi's intention to refuse was obvious, but Taifu Chen was an old man in the court, and there were people who were close to him who agreed, trying not to lose his dignity. Fu Yanmian.

There were also some people who were watching the excitement in their hearts, and some even whispered secretly that Mu Chenxi didn't know what was good and what was good. At that time, the Taifu wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law, but he refused with tears of gratitude.

"Haha."

Mr. Chen stroked his beard and smiled gently, and said to Mu Chenxi with a gentle smile: "No need to be nervous, No. 1 Scholar. I know that you come from a poor family. Even if you have a good wife, you are still a person who does not know etiquette. Wouldn't it be a great pity to miss the red sleeves to add fragrance. He looked at the people at the banquet proudly, "

My little girl has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. Her appearance and etiquette are also famous in Rongdu. If she didn't fancy her talent as the number one scholar, she wouldn't want to marry low." "That's right

."

The minister nodded and said: "The young lady in Taifu Chen's family is a lady of our family, and not something ordinary people can easily get. Now that the Taifu cherishes talents and loves talents, the number one scholar should divorce his wife or reduce her to a concubine, and I sincerely ask the emperor to welcome her as his wife. "

"Oh?"

Mu Chenxi raised an eyebrow, disapproving of his harsh words, and mocked: "What this lord means is that if someone values ​​​​you, then the lord is ready to abandon his wife and son to marry a new man at any time?"

"You! "

The minister didn't seem to expect that Mu Chenxi would dare to retort boldly, and his words were sarcastic, and he was at a loss for words for a moment.

"Why did the No. 1 scholar say this?"

Taifu Chen was already confident, and Mu Chenxi would not refuse his olive branch. She didn't expect to be rejected, and even ridiculed by him for helping the person.

His face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Since the number one scholar has no intention, let's let this matter go. I can't reach a great talent."

"Although the official is born in a poor family, he can't abandon the chaff. The official is really unlucky. It's my kindness, please forgive me."

Mu Chenxi straightened his back, looked around, and said with a solemn expression, "Mu has only one person beside him in his life, even if he is gray-haired and ugly, he will not regret it."

He seemed to prove it, but also expressed his feelings, "Perhaps many people will think that Mu is ignorant of good and evil, but if you know Mu's personal situation, you will know that he is the number one scholar today because he is worshiped by someone who is loved by the gods in his family. "Gift. "

"What exists between us is not affection, but an unwavering love for each other, and we vow to move forward together for the rest of our lives."

Mu Chenxi's expression was serious, because when she talked about Zhao Huan, her eyes were as gentle as water. With all kinds of affection and doting on his face,

he said, "Our husband and wife's hearts have become one, and there is no room for anything else. There is no such thing as clinging to glory or adding fragrance to red sleeves." After he said this, he turned to Mr. Chen again . , "What the Master just said is wrong. My husband is a polite, open-minded and kind-hearted person. He is not illiterate in writing and etiquette. His talent and temperament are far above mine. I am deeply impressed by my ability today." He taught.

"You are talking about a husband, are you marrying a man's wife?"

Chen Taifu looked surprised. He asked again in disbelief: "The number one scholar is really a man's wife. I vow to stay with him for the rest of my life. No." Heirs and future generations will not regret it."

"Of course."

Mu Chenxi looked at him as if Mr. Chen was making trouble unreasonably, "For Xianguan, the lover in the family is the most important person in this life, and no one can replace or influence him. As for the descendants, there is no need

to be persistent. The relatives and children in the family are the descendants and the ones who will inherit

. Appreciating and learning is really admirable and willing to give blessings."

"Thank you, Prince."

Mu Chenxi smiled slightly, and the senior brother expressed his support. "We husband and wife share weal and woe in this life, and we will never be separated for a moment.

" Well, okay."

At this time, the emperor smiled and nodded. He had been silently letting everyone in front of him argue, but he didn't care. He had the final say on everything. "The number one scholar has such affection, it is because of his love. It is gratifying that a person who values ​​righteousness will gain his loyalty in the future."

He looked at Taifu Chen and thought of his actions in the palace. He smiled slightly and said, "The young ladies from Taifu's family are charming and well-educated, and there are many talented people in Rongdu. They are vying for marriage. Unexpectedly

, the Taifu is a man who loves talents regardless of his family status. He is really thirsty for talents

! After this good story, the old minister came up with the idea of ​​finding a good son-in-law for her regardless of family status, and asked the emperor for his advice

.

The emperor looked at him with a meaningful look in his eyes and said with a smile: "Look slowly, don't be in a hurry. No matter what, a lady from the Taifu family cannot marry a married man. She must be a man who does not have a good wife and husband. It is unbecoming of the Taifu to let people abandon their wives and children. "

"Yes, what the Emperor said is very true, but the old minister was confused for a moment."

Chen Taifu showed sincere fear at the Emperor's words and hurriedly kowtowed to apologize, "Please punish me. The old minister was so eager to love the talent for a while, but he didn't think well, which is really wrong."

Many people couldn't understand this reversal, but no one dared to ask questions. The situation was inappropriate at this time, and it was also offensive. .

The Minister of Rites didn't dare to stand out anymore. Even if Mu Chenxi didn't like it, he didn't dare to verbally provoke or scold him. This was a big deal, so he still had to avoid the emperor and everyone.

"That's all."

The emperor waved his hand, "What's wrong with a small thing? It's a time when everyone is congratulating each other, how can it ruin the scenery and affect everyone's mood."

"Yeah"

Everyone at the dinner was thoughtful, and people have always been obedient. Yin, if the emperor's intention was not such a grand scene, it might not be a trivial matter.

At this time, Mu Chenxi thanked the emperor with a deep bow when he exited. After returning to his desk, he saw the concerned eyes of Gao Xingxing and Li Hongyu and shook his head to indicate that it was okay.

After this small episode, the dinner seemed to be unable to return to the original laughter and laughter, and the atmosphere was a bit dull. Finally, it ended after the emperor left, and everyone dispersed with the courtiers.

.........

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi returned to the house late at night and saw Zhao Huan sitting under the lamp waiting for her return. She couldn't help but put her arms around his shoulders excitedly, "No one can separate us, even if it is life or death, we must stay close.

"Yes." Zhao

Huan smiled slightly in his warm embrace, "No matter life or death, nor geographical space, we are destined to hold hands for the rest of our lives."

"Hehe . ."

Mu Chenxi was a little drunk at this time, smiling stupidly, her eyes were a little blurry, "A lifetime is not enough, there will be a lot more."

"Well."

Zhao Huan was pushed down by him, and his body stiffened and he whispered in surprise. , then looked at Mu Chenxi and asked: "What's wrong?"

"Haha."

Mu Chenxi lowered his head slightly, met Zhao Huan's surprised gaze with gentle eyes, and said with a smile: "Today is our big day, should we fulfill our obligations?" , "Golden List Named Bridal Chamber Flowers and Candles"

(End of text)

Chapter 108 Extra 1

"When you enter the Hanlin Academy today, don't be playful."

Zhao Huan told Mu Chenxi. He was too out-of-control now, "Don't be willful. This is your first time serving."

"I understand, wife."

Mu Chenxi With a smile on his face, he has not left the house these days since consummating his marriage with Zhao Huan. He spends time with Zhao Huan every day and forgets about going to the Hanlin Academy.

"Nothing."

Seeing that he was reluctant to get up, Zhao Huan pulled him out and said, "Don't act like a spoiled brat. Go out quickly before you're late."

"Well, let's go."

Mu Chenxi took advantage of Zhao's lack of attention. Huan's face fragrant, turned around and ran to the carriage, waved to him and smiled: "Go back."

Zhao Huan shook his head helplessly, Mu Chenxi was too clingy, and always broke his heart without knowing it, but He likes it himself.

.........

Mu Chenxi arrived at the Hanlin Academy by car. As soon as she arrived at the door, she met Li Hongyu and Gao Xing. They greeted each other and walked in side by side.

They came to the Hanlin Academy. When Liu Xueshi saw them, he said casually: "The number one scholar is here, the Hanlin Academy is shining brightly."

"Huh?"

Mu Chenxi was surprised, "Grandmaster, I have never been here before. The No. 1 scholar? I thought the bachelor was also the No. 1 scholar. What a pity!" Bachelor Liu

finally raised his head, looked at Mu Chenxi expressionlessly, and said for a long time: "The No. 1 scholar is in the small library in the east courtyard. Many damaged books were left by the sages and need help from talented people, so please leave them to Zhuang Yuanlang."

"Yes, I obey,"

Mu Chenxi said with a smile, "Demeng University . The scholar valued him, and the subordinate was extremely frightened. He would devote his whole life to sorting out the damaged books and live up to the great kindness of the scholar. "

"Uh."

Liu Xuesheng was speechless, staring at Mu Chenxi with unclear eyes. He realized that there was something wrong with the number one scholar. Silly, you don't want a good future. If you don't marry a beautiful lady, you haven't realized it after offending someone. If you don't get deposed in this life, it will be your ancestors' incense!

"Go."

Liu Xueshi didn't want to talk to Mu Chenxi anymore, so he just said a few words The words made him angry, so he decided to go away early to calm down, "Follow the servant at the door, he will send you there."

He took out another set of keys, threw it on the table, and said, "There is no one there. From now on, I'll leave it to the number one scholar."

"That's not possible."

Mu Chenxi shook his head and refused to take the key on the table. "The deserted library must be full of dust, rats, snakes and other things. How dare you. I'm a little scared, please ask the bachelor to send someone to clean it up, and I will go over and take over."

He said with a frightened expression, and took a step back, firmly stating that he would not go now, "I have been studying poetry and books for many years. The officer is exhausted both physically and mentally. If he accidentally falls ill, can he be given sick leave?"

Mu Chenxi was breathing rapidly. He put one hand on his chest and reached out to Gao Xing and Li Hongyu for help. "Hurry, hurry, I can't do it anymore."

"Brother Mu .

"Brother Mu." Li

Hongyu and Gao Xing were frightened by him and hurriedly stepped forward to support him. "How are you? What's wrong with you?"

"My chest is tight,"

Mu Chenxi said . Said, he pursed his lips and rolled his eyes, "Can you please help me find a doctor to take my pulse properly? I feel palpitations whenever someone bullies me. I'm extremely scared. I'm afraid I'll get heart disease over time." , you must take good care of it."

"Where can I find an imperial doctor to look at you?"

Liu Xueshi looked angry. What Mu Chenxi said was not a hint that she would embarrass him. If word got out, she would still want this face." Your rosy face looks like you are sick. Don't talk nonsense here. If you think the Imperial Academy can't accommodate such a great talent, you can find another job. The Imperial Academy will not delay in retaining you."

"Ah!"

Mu Chenxi suddenly said ! His body swayed, and he staggered and fell on top of Li Hongyu and the others. "I'm going to faint. After more than ten years of hard study, I finally got through it. I'm about to be dismissed before I can take office. I'm sorry for my ancestors!"

He closed his eyes and nodded. There was no movement at all, and it looked like he had fainted. His whole body was supported by Li Hongyu and Gao Xing, and he barely landed.

"Bachelor."

"Bachelor."

Liu Xueshi was so angry that Gao Xing and the two of them asked for help at a loss. Mu Chenxi was just causing trouble for him. How could he be so cowardly and weak? He was obviously pretending deliberately. of.

This is to ruin his own reputation, which is really a wolfish ambition. A small champion dared to confront the important ministers of the dynasty again and again. He wanted to see what he was capable of.

He made up his mind, wasn't he sick? Then let him go back to recuperate. Even if he wants to leave the Hanlin Academy in the future, he will not let him go. Let him die here!

So what can the number one scholar do? He comes from a poor family, and today is the last time he enters the officialdom. Don't even think about getting ahead again in the future.

Later, when he knows how powerful he is, he will kneel down and beg for mercy, and then give him a head-on blow, directly remove him from office and send him back to the countryside.

Academician Liu's face was unpredictable, and he had made up his mind. He was about to shout for someone to take Mu Chenxi to the hospital and get him out of his sight.

Then I heard a clear voice, asking with surprise: "What's going on? Why are there still people fainting?"

The prince came in to see Mu Chenxi who had fainted, and his face couldn't help but change, "What's going on? Why is it that someone else fainted?" " Hurry up and call for the imperial doctor

."

He told the eunuch at his side, and hurried over to direct Gao Xing and the others, "Hold the champion man and help him sit down."

"Yes."

When Mu Chenxi heard this, she moved her body slightly and exhaled slowly, as if she was about to wake up slowly. How painful it was to press on the philtrum!

He couldn't bear this pain. Senior brother was so impatient that he had to wait for the doctor or himself to wake up slowly.

Mu Chenxi took a few slow breaths, and gradually opened her eyes a crack, and met several pairs of concerned eyes. "It's okay, I just can't stand the fright."

He smiled weakly at the prince, and nodded to Gao Xing and Li Hongyu. , "I'm fine, don't worry."

Mu Chenxi looked at Scholar Liu again, and saw that his face was livid, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked like he was suppressing his anger. He smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, Scholar Liu. I am a timid and weak official. " I can't stand the intimidation and bullying, and I faint when I get anxious. It's not the fault of Xueshi Liu, it's just that the official can't resist the blow."

"Hmph."

Xueshi Liu looked like he had seen through Mu Chenxi's true face, "The champion really needs to work harder." If you can't do even a small thing, how can you talk about serving the imperial court?"

"If I really served the emperor, I wouldn't have fainted!"

Mu Chenxi looked frustrated and looked at Bachelor Liu with some resentment in his eyes, "Bachelor. He was very happy to ask him to copy and tidy up the damaged books. However, he was really embarrassed by the insects, rats, snakes and ants in the deserted library. The sage did not teach him this, and the master did not teach him how to be a good person. How can you, a handyman, not make your subordinates anxious and frightened?"

"What?"

When the prince heard this, he looked at Xueshie Liu with a serious expression, "Let the new champion clean the old library and copy damaged books. Is this how Xueshie Liu arranges the pillars of the country?"

"Prince, please be patient."

Xueshie Liu did not agree. Afraid of the prince, he is the head of the Hanlin Academy. Although his official position is slightly lower than the fifth rank, he does not need the prince to give instructions.

"The number one scholar, a great talent, must be tempered in order to grow. The old books are the essence left by the predecessors. If you can learn one or two, you will have endless use in this life. The veteran has worked hard to cultivate, but it is a pity that the number one scholar is not used, and his body is so weak. , It seems that I can't serve the court."

There was a trace of malice in Liu Xueshi's eyes. After looking at Mu Chenxi, he said to the prince: "I will report to the emperor and let the number one scholar go home to recuperate. If he can come back,

he said . After a pause, he said with a "haha" smile: "Old minister, I will try my best to train you again."

The meaning of these words is obvious, even the fledgling Mu Chenxi and others can understand, let alone the prince!

He was in the whirlpool of royal power and had never experienced anything. Liu Xueshi's unabashed malice can be seen through at a glance. How could the prince not know why?

A few days ago, Mu Chenxi refused to recruit a son-in-law for the Taifu, and then slapped the Minister of Etiquette on the face. How could he not be embarrassed?

Fortunately, the prince wanted to come today to see if Mu Chenxi would adapt to the Hanlin Academy. Otherwise, he would not know what hardships he would face.

"What Mr. Liu said makes sense."

The prince suppressed his sullenness and smiled at Mr. Liu with a gentle face. "I also ask the bachelor to inform the emperor to see if the number one scholar can be put to great use and whether it is necessary to arrange for another person to enter the Imperial Academy."

" Huh?"

Scholar Liu was startled. The prince's words were suspicious. "The old minister will naturally report back truthfully. The prince can also report to the emperor to see if the old minister's arrangement is improper."

"Haha,"

the prince said without saying anything. He looked at Mu Chenxi and said, "If you don't feel well, go back and take care of yourself first. The imperial doctor will be sent to the house to diagnose your pulse. The number one scholar doesn't need to worry too much. His true talents and knowledge will not be buried anywhere."

"Thank you, Prince."

Mu Chen Xi stood up and thanked him. He didn't need to pretend anymore. What he had just wanted to do was to hold Ren Ke out of his official position and not to suffer from the displeasure of Academician Liu of the Hanlin Academy. "I'm fine now. There's no need to send an imperial doctor for treatment. I'll retire first."

.........

Mu Chenxi entered the Hanlin Academy, and within half an hour, he came out of it happily.

Liu Xueshi's first words made him secretly alert. As the head of the Hanlin Academy, he said such words regardless of his face, which shows how low his moral character is.

Mu Chenxi knew clearly that if she endured it this time, she would suffer hardships and be unable to make a difference in the future, and she was afraid that there would be other tricks to humiliate her in the future.

Only then did he decide not to do anything else, simply pretending to be ill, and trying to leave the Hanlin Academy and break away from Liu Xueshi's control, even if he was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back." Mu Chenxi shouted happily as soon as she arrived at the house.

When Zhao Huan saw Mu Chenxi running over, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Why are you back? Is there anything in the Hanlin Academy?"

"It's okay."

Mu Chenxi smiled and sat down next to him, "It will be a few days before I have anything to do. , Now you can continue to rest at home for a while. "

He will not tell Zhao Huan these things, just like the last time he recruited a son-in-law, letting Zhao Huan know that it is just an increase in trouble, and he can take care of it.

"The Hanlin Academy didn't arrange a position for you, so you just came back?"

Zhao Huanmin felt something was wrong, just like the last time Mu Chenxi suddenly asked to consummate the marriage, he felt there was something wrong in his heart.

In ancient times, interpersonal relationships were complicated, and families formed cliques and cliques, and the waters were very deep. Mu Chenxi was born into a poor family and had no backing support. If she ran into trouble, she would be at a disadvantage.

"No, it's been arranged."

Mu Chenxi saw him frowning slightly, and keenly sensed something was wrong, so she pulled the prince over to take the blame, "The prince went to the Hanlin Academy and asked me to come back and rest first, and then go back when I have a good position.

"Oh." Zhao

Huan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the prince would not harm Mu Chenxi, and said with a smile: "If something happens to me, I will do my best."

"Hahaha."

Mu Chenxi laughed, "Of course, if something happens to me, I will." This junior brother cannot just sit back and watch."

"You are really lucky!"

Zhao Huan sighed, pointing at Liu Wenqing in the distance, "I have been sitting there for a long time. Brother Wang and the others have all found positions, and he is the only one left. "If you don't have Teacher and Amber, you will probably have to work hard to gain a foothold in Rongdu."

"Alas!"

Mu Chenxi looked at Liu Wenqing, "Brother Wang and Brother Li will have help from their cousin. You can still stay if you want to find a position. Even if Brother Liu has money, he needs to have connections. Let alone stay in Rongdu, it is difficult to find a job outside. "

"You won't want to find you again . Senior brother?"

Zhao Huan smiled slightly, knowing that Mu Chenxi would not see Liu Wenqing wasting his time like this, "If you are willing to help, just give it a try. Brother Liu has a good character and is knowledgeable. He will definitely be able to succeed in the future, and he can be regarded as a reserve talent for the prince. "

Chapter 109 Extra 2

"Your Majesty."

In the second hall, Scholar Liu from the Hanlin Academy came out and said: "The newly promoted Number One Scholar is very weak and may not be able to take on a big job. He is going home to recuperate, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to make a decision."

"Oh . "

The emperor looked at Xueshie Liu with an unpredictable expression, "I wonder what Xueshie Liu has planned?"

"This."

Xueshie Liu hesitated, looked at the emperor's expression carefully, and said with confidence: " The position of No. 1 Scholar cannot be vacant. The Emperor can choose another worthy person. "

As

soon as he said this, all the civil and military officials in the Golden Palace were in an uproar. Is this too cruel to seize the position of No. 1 Scholar?

Even if the literati are weak, they can't remove themselves from office and seize the throne. Even if they despise each other, they can't compete with a newbie. This is a victory without force.

He didn't have to think about the reason. It must be the relationship between Taifu Chen and the Minister of Rites. However, some people felt that this was a bit too much.

"Your Majesty."

A voice suddenly came from outside the Golden Palace. This person was the Prince of the Ministry of Rites, "This matter must not be done. The number one scholar is the facade of the examination and cannot be easily abolished. If word spreads, it will cause an uproar and the entire Da Rong will be involved in discussions. Those students who study hard will also be frightened."

"Humph."

The Minister of Rites glared at him and said coldly: "What Wang Langzhong meant was to give him the position of No. 1 scholar for free, and he has no use for the title.

"How can you give me this position for free ?"

Wang Langzhong's smile was a little stagnant. He was his superior, but he couldn't just sit back and ignore his conscience. His nephew was still living in the No. 1 Scholar's house.

I have received a lot of favors, and it's okay not to repay them. If you don't even say a fair word, how can you be called a human being? Reading the books of saints and sages these years has been in vain. How can one overcome this hurdle in his heart if his conscience is gone?

"Everyone praised the No. 1 pick that day for his elegant demeanor, tall figure, and rosy cheeks. How could he win so badly?"

Wang Langzhong was uncharacteristically honest, with firmness on his face. "You can't mark your life just because of a moment of discomfort. Nor can you let a momentary mistake happen. , and seize a lifelong future."

After saying this, he turned to the emperor on the throne and said, "Your Majesty, there is no smooth sailing in life, and no time of suffering. Talent and learning have won the bright future gained through years of hard work, which dampened the desire of Da Rongguang University students to serve the court."

"Well said,"

the prince praised loudly. He looked at the people in the palace and turned to look at the emperor. "For the record, my father, when I went to the Hanlin Academy, I witnessed with my own eyes why the number one scholar was so frightened that he almost fainted."

Liu Xueshi's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that the prince would really stand up and defend an unknown young man. Xiaohanmen speaks.

He secretly glanced at Mr. Chen, and saw that his eyebrows were slightly lowered, as if he had not heard all this, and he couldn't help but regret that he had acted too hastily.

"Oh?"

The emperor frowned and looked at the prince with sharp eyes, "Tell me."

The prince immediately explained the situation at that time without any bias, "Father, you can ask Xueshi Liu if there is anything untrue about my son. Liu Xueshi was speechless and could only bite the bullet and said: "

The number one scholar's fainting is obviously a fake, just to avoid the trust of the old ministers. Such a cunning person is not worthy of his moral character. How can he serve Da Rong wholeheartedly? Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Haha." The

emperor sneered a few times, looked at Bachelor Liu and asked, "The Hanlin Academy is a place to cultivate talents for Da Rong. Is this how a bachelor treats the top scholar?"

"Uh."

Liu Xueshi felt cold and couldn't help but secretly complain. He didn't expect that such a trivial matter might bring trouble to his face. "In the past, the books of sages could not be discarded. They had to be repaired by talented people. I also cherished my talents and thought of giving them to the number one scholar." Lang."

"Yes."

Seeing that Academician Liu was in trouble, many people who were close to him immediately came forward to help explain, and naturally put all the blame on Mu Chenxi.

"The number one scholar is a great talent but he is unwilling to serve. Such treacherous people should be severely punished."

"Sages' books cannot be ignored. They must be taken good care of, repaired and passed down for generations." "

Please punish the number one scholar severely. Such inaction is unbecoming of a gentleman. " His demeanor, narrow-mindedness, and dirty behavior."

Every sentence of criticism made many people in the Golden Palace secretly dumbfounded. Some people really can't be offended. They will be dismissed before taking office, and they even ask for the title of No. 1 Scholar. They will never get ahead in this life. day.

The warriors were even more disdainful in their hearts. These literati usually formed cliques and mixed up various relationships. When one stood up, a large group of people came out to support him.

Normally I would just criticize these generals, but my own people would often turn against them. It was really shameful. I don't know where the sage books I read had gone, but I actually did shameless things.

Wang Langzhong was already devastated. He risked offending others and stood up, thinking that he could help Mu Chenxi get away with it, but it was all in vain.

His face was pale and his whole body was weak. He had already predicted in his heart that if he was transferred or dismissed in the future, the whole family would suffer if he was blamed.

The prince was just thinking about how to arrange his family, and thinking about how to avoid being implicated, when he heard the emperor laughing "hahaha". He hurriedly raised his head to look at the throne, wondering if there was any room left.

"Everyone is right."

After the emperor finished laughing, he seemed to be in a good mood. The smile in his eyes continued as he looked at the people who stood up to speak to Liu Xueshi one by one. "Sages' books cannot be ignored. They must be repaired and taken care of. , I will entrust this important rule to you, don't let me down!"

"Uh."

The people standing in the center of the Golden Palace looked at each other, not understanding what the emperor meant, and looked at each other a little. Don't dare to agree easily.

"Your Majesty."

Chen Taifu stood up at this time. Seeing that these people were about to be wiped out, if he didn't come out, he would lose six allies in one fell swoop.

"You can select some talented people from the Imperial College or various academies in Rongdu, or even throughout the university, and arrange for them to concentrate on repairing books. All of you are at the helm of various ministries. You cannot ignore the affairs of the Yamen, and it is difficult to take care of both ends. Please give the emperor a lesson."

After Mrs. Chen said these words, seeing that the emperor was indifferent, he couldn't help but turn to the prince. The prince concubine is his own niece, so she should help with a few words.

Unexpectedly, the prince was as honest as a quail, silently lowering his head and not looking at anyone. He no longer said a word about Mu Chenxi, as if the person who just stood up to talk about the situation in the Hanlin Academy was not him.

Chen Taifu's eyes gradually darkened, and he felt a little nervous. He didn't know how the emperor, who was becoming more and more powerful and had frequently shown his iron fist and coldness in recent years, would handle this matter.

The courtiers below, as well as the ministers who stood up to intercede and demanded severe punishment for Mu Chenxi, now understood what the emperor meant. He was asking them to copy and repair books, which they kept calling sage books.

Everyone suddenly looked panicked, how could the emperor do this? They are all loyal ministers of the court, have been in high positions for many years, and have worked hard for Da Rong. How can they do these things without any merit or hard work?

The emperor was sitting on the throne and could clearly see the expressions of his ministers. Suddenly, he was so blessed that he suddenly understood why the emperor's master and his uncle wanted to leave Rongdu.

They see that there are no major external dangers, and the government is peaceful on the surface, but in fact it is extremely corrupt. If they do not turn the tide and strictly rectify it, it will inevitably fall to the bottom.

At that time, the emperor only thought that he was willful and made the emperor's master and uncle angry and traveled far away. He could also take this opportunity to do what he wanted to do, lest they be too kind and always stop him.

But now the emperor discovered that things were not what he thought. It was clearly the emperor's master and others who gave him the opportunity to do something personally, out of sight and out of mind.

"There are so many talented people in Da Rong, how can there be a shortage of people at the helm of each department."

The emperor smiled slightly, without his usual harsh and ruthless attitude, but instead seemed to be having a heart-to-heart conversation, "Don't worry, Grand Master, I will arrange these things myself. Grand Master is knowledgeable, Da Rong is unmatched, and Taifu Lao will lead them to repair the damaged books as soon as possible. Da Rong still has many things that require your continued service!"

Chen Taifu had no expression on his face and looked up at the emperor. This was to send him to the throne as well. Go to the abandoned library of Hanlin Academy?

"Draft the edict."

After the emperor said these few words, he immediately issued the edict, "With Chen Taifu and Liu Xueshi as the main leaders, he led the six beloved ministers to repair the sages' books and preserve them for future generations. This is a great merit. I hope My dear friends, please return to the court as soon as possible and continue to serve Da Rong."

"In addition, here is the decree."

The emperor looked at the prince who bowed his head and said nothing, "The prince and several princes have continued their bloodline for Da Rong. Several of the emperor's grandsons have reached the age of enlightenment at the age of three. The number one scholar, who possesses both great wisdom and talent, is pure and kind-hearted. He is the grandson of the emperor and has been promoted from editor to attendant. "

The emperor's voice was the only one in the golden palace . In just a few words, the Grand Tutor and other important ministers were sent to the library that had been deserted for many years in a remote corner of the Hanlin Academy.

Whether there will be a chance to enter the court again in the future, occupy a high position and hold great power, and repeat the glory of the past is another question.

The most puzzling thing is that Jinke's new champion, not only did not get knocked down by several ministers, but he was also promoted from the sixth rank to the sixth rank. This official promotion was too fast.

Simply speaking, enlightening the emperor's grandchildren is something that many people dream of. In the past, some veteran ministers and well-known people were responsible for it, but now it is taken by a young boy who is just starting out. It is really thought-provoking.

Only Wang Lang was ecstatic in his heart. He had forgotten that he was in a cold sweat just now and was scared to death. He was trying to find a way out for his family. He didn't expect that the emperor was unreasonable and acted out of common sense. He might still have a chance to fight.

As long as he finds more opportunities now and arranges his immediate superiors well, even if the assistant minister is an official himself, there is a saying that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.

.........

Mu Chenxi and Zhao Huan have no way of knowing what is going on in the court. They are still planning to rest at home for a while. If no one comes to see them, the worst thing they can do is not take this official position.

When they received the imperial edict with their faces covered, they realized that they had been promoted and their positions had changed. This change was so fast that people were caught off guard.

"Are you going to teach tomorrow?"

Zhao Huan didn't quite understand these things. "Are you going to the Hanlin Academy or the palace? You can go into the palace and have a look."

"Haha."

Mu Chenxi looked at Zhao happily. Huan said, "Don't worry. One day you will be able to enter the palace. I will definitely work hard to get you a reward. You will no longer be a commoner in the future."

"Forget it."

Zhao Huan curled his lips, even if there is a reward , she is also Feng Muchenxi's daughter-in-law, so it's better not to have this title. "I don't want to go to court with the queen, so I'd better stay at home."

While they were talking, they saw Wang Qingquan coming back in a hurry. Now he is being helped by his cousin on a certain errand, and both he and Li Shaojie are working as an eighth-grade official in the Ministry of Etiquette.

"Why is Brother Wang back?"

Zhao Huan looked at Wang Qingquan from a distance, "Isn't he in the office?"

"Oh, give me a drink of water quickly."

Wang Qingquan wanted to drink water as soon as he came in, and there were already drops of sweat on his face. It was the end of April and it was still not hot yet, which showed how anxious he was to come back.

"Brother Wang, why are you in such a hurry?"

Mu Chenxi poured him two glasses of water and waited until his breathing calmed down a little before asking, "But there is something going on at the Yamen, and my cousin can't help?"

"It's not my business. It's your business."

Wang Qingquan told him everything that his cousin had just told him, what happened in the court, what everyone said, and how the emperor dealt with it in the end. Mu Chenxi and Zhao Huan.

"My uncle asked me to come back and tell you. I thought this matter was a bit serious, so I came back early."

Wang Qingquan looked confused and looked at Mu Chenxi looking up and down for a long time, but couldn't help but said: "Brother Mu, what are you doing? They were timid and in bad shape. Are they blind?"

"Ahem, cough, cough."

Mu Chenxi couldn't help but look at Zhao Huan, coughed awkwardly, and said with a flattering smile: "If you don't want to be tortured by Bachelor Liu, just do it. I thought I'd pretend to be sick and come back first, but I didn't expect that so many things would happen."

Zhao Huan didn't expect Mu Chenxi to hide it so tightly. If Wang Qingquan hadn't come back to tell him, he really didn't notice it at all. He nodded to Mu Chenxi and said silently. Ask him again later.

"Thanks to Uncle Wang for speaking up."

Zhao Huan said to Wang Qingquan, feeling very grateful. "When things calm down a bit, we will definitely come to thank you."

"You're welcome, my uncle is a real person."

Wang Qingquan smiled, embarrassed. Said: "We are under the care of Dong Zhao and Brother Mu. How can

we just watch these things and not stand up and say something fair?" "Tell uncle, please don't worry, we will definitely come forward if something happens, don't let He carries it by himself."

Mu Chenxi suddenly said, giving Wang Qingquan a few words, "Some people are too dark-hearted, and they will immediately retaliate if they are slightly dissatisfied, without caring about their face."

He looked at Zhao Huan again. Said: "My matter may implicate my uncle, but I ignored this aspect. It seems that I still don't have a thorough understanding of people's hearts. Liu Xueshi and others can actually make such a fuss. They want to kill me."

" How could you confront him? There is no grudge between us. How could he be so cruel? This is crazy."

Zhao Huan's face was solemn. This is not a good sign. "Are you hiding something from me? You still want to hide it at this time, because your Uncle Wang has already offended someone, and if you don't find a way to remedy it, you will be in more trouble in the future. "

"My wife, there is no way to remedy it,"

Mu Chenxi said bitterly, because she was afraid of Zhao. Huan Duosi had concealed something, but now that he was asking about it, she felt helpless as she was about to confess it in person.

He slowly told Mr. Chen about recruiting a son-in-law. Not only Wang Qingquan was dumbfounded, but also Liu Wenqing, who came later, also had a dull look on his face.

It is impossible for Mu Chenxi to abandon Zhao Huan and marry another, or to reduce his wife to a concubine. Mrs. Chen and the others were so daring to think about it, no wonder Mu Chenxi broke the jar and gave them a nice word if they offended him.

"Are you angry because of this, so you did something random regardless of your identity and image?"

Zhao Huan looked at Mu Chenxi funny. He understood what Mu Chenxi meant, but he was really not that weak and did not need his protection.

"Do you not want to stay in Rongdu and want to leave in a fuss or are you willing to return home without this official position?"

Zhao Huan asked, he himself is not a person who avoids trouble, and the same is true for Mu Chenxi. Why did you go through such nonsense this time? "Whatever you think, no matter what decision you make, I will support it. There is no need to cause trouble for yourself."

"Let's wait until we see the prince tomorrow."

Mu Chenxi was serious at this time, "If I can't protect you, why should I do so much? "If you don't follow the path to the sky, you will only make yourself uncomfortable if you stay in the whirlpool."

"Huh?"

Liu Wenqing was confused and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Mu, what do you mean?" " It's

very simple."

Zhao Huan smiled slightly, and Mu Chenxi's words made him react immediately, "He must respond to the person he is about to serve, otherwise there is no need to go through this muddy water."

"You mean?" "

Wang Qingquan looked thoughtful, his eyes flickering, "Taifu Chen is the crown prince's family, and the prince is now the crown prince, has the harem battle started now?"

"Don't think so much,"

Zhao Huan said, "Everything . Wait until Chenxi sees the prince tomorrow to decide. After all, you are not only loyal to the emperor, but you are also working for the prince, the future king. You still need to see his attitude clearly. "

Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi had already discussed it. He will not participate in the disputes between the princes in the court, nor join any political parties. But beyond their expectations, senior brother Mu Chenxi was actually the current prince.

This incident was unexpected. If they stayed in Rongdu, they would not be able to completely break away from the prince. Even if they had no contact with each other, they would be considered as one of the prince's faction if someone knew about it.

Therefore, if they stay, they must understand the prince's attitude towards them, whether he will stand up for them if something happens, and also ensure that the prince will not burn bridges in the future.

What's more, this Taifu Chen is still from the prince's side. Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi have to find out more carefully. If they can't, they will find a way to leave Rongdu immediately. Their necks will not just stick out and let people chop them.

Chapter 110 Extra 3

Outside the palace, Zhao Huan sent Mu Chenxi over. As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw the prince waiting outside the palace gate with a smile on his face.

"See the prince."

Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi went over to see the prince. Zhao Huan looked at the prince's face and found that it was as Mu Chenxi said. He was gentle and handsome and belonged to an upright and kind person.

The rumors outside about the prince are all good. It can be seen that if he can ascend the throne in the future and be a wise king, the people of the world will be protected and blessed.

"Junior brother is blessed."

The prince was friendly. There was no outsider at this time, and he called Mu Chenxi his junior brother. "Brother Zhao deeply admires Mr. Zhao for his good deeds in helping the world. If there is any need in the future, he will definitely help."

"Thank you, prince."

Zhao Huan smiled gently, and the prince expressed his attitude towards them, "If we can stay in Rongdu, we will definitely do our best for the people here, and we will serve Da Rong loyally."

"Okay."

The prince nodded and smiled . : "As expected of a transparent person, since you are determined to do good deeds, senior brother must also contribute, and you can't just say it in vain."

He looked at Mu Chenxi standing next to Zhao Huan, and joked: "Otherwise, my junior brother I will definitely not comply, and I will be in trouble and will not be able to explain it to the teacher and my uncle."

"Of course."

Mu Chenxi smiled and said without any shame: "Amber likes me the most, and the teacher does not dare to punish me in front of him.

"Hahaha." The

prince was amused by him and pointed at Mu Chenxi and said, "You are still a child. You have a senior brother, so you can't be bullied."

He then looked at him . Zhao Huan, "I have a piece of land in Xicheng and a piece of land outside Rongdu City, which I will prepare for you when you come to Rongdu. I think you may want to build a workshop or open a school, a self-study room, and a Jishan Hall to help the world. I specially circled it for you to use."

The prince took out the land deed from his arms and handed it to Zhao Huan, saying, "Now that I have come to Rongdu, I will definitely keep you safe as long as my senior brother is here. , You can do everything with confidence and courage."

"Thank you,

Prince." Zhao Huan accepted it generously. These are the Prince's support for the good deeds. There is no need to push back and forth. "As long as everything is safe, we will not sit back and enjoy the wealth. The people are suffering, and we will try our best to help them solve some livelihood problems.

"

After Zhao Huan's few words, the prince understood their concerns and simply said, "Don't worry about the uncle's hiding behind the scenes. , if he wanted to, he would stand up openly, and no one would dare to embarrass him in the slightest. With his face, neither the Queen Mother nor the Emperor would watch you suffer. The Emperor already made his attitude clear in the hall yesterday. , you don't need to be cautious in everything, you can do whatever you want."

After saying this, the prince suddenly thought of his teacher again and said with a smile: "You don't know the identity of the teacher yet, right?"

His tone was very sure, and he also understood why Mrs. Mu Chenxi. Even though my husband knew his uncle's identity, he still kept a low profile.

"The teacher is not a person who hides behind the scenes like Uncle Guo. He is the teacher of the Great Rong Emperor. Even my father was taught by him step by step."

The prince directly told Jiang Haohai's identity and said calmly: "The late emperor did not let him The father was a disciple, so the father was always worried about it. As soon as he ascended the throne, he appointed the teacher as the emperor's disciple and ordered his senior brother to become his disciple. "

" Hua?"

Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi were really surprised at this time . , they were even more surprised than when they found out that Amber was the uncle of the state and that the prince was senior brother Mu Chenxi. Unknowingly, they had two towering mountains at once.

"Teacher is really strict. Amber also told me that I don't have to worry too much about coming to Rong. There will be no big problems, but he didn't say a word."

Mu Chenxi was a little resentful. He knew that although Amber was happy about his identity, he was The person who hides behind the scenes cannot be easily relied upon. Unexpectedly, the teacher's identity can also be taken out for a walk.

"Teacher probably didn't want to hide it from you. He must have been afraid that others would know your identity. He tried every means to cling to you and annoy you, so he didn't tell you frankly."

The prince looked at Mu Chenxi amusedly. This junior brother had a depressed look on his face. Wanting to be petty, "If Mr. Chen knew that you were a disciple of the Emperor's Master, he would definitely not recruit a son-in-law in person. He would think of other ways to achieve his goal, which would be even more annoying."

"Every loss must be a gain."

Zhao Huan naturally understood that Jiang Haohai and the others He said painstakingly, "Although you suffer some hardships and humiliation, it is better than being constantly worried about people playing dirty tricks behind your back. That is the only way to prevent it."

"Yes, it is better not to let others know about the teacher."

Mu Chenxi rolled his eyes and knew what was inside. It's awesome, it's better to let others show their strength. "In order to avoid being constantly disturbed by others, you must always be wary of other people's schemes."

"You just understand. This is why we don't announce the identity of our junior disciple to the public."

The prince looked at their husband and wife . He understood and said what needed to be said, so he said: "Junior brother, follow me into the palace first, and I will take you to the study to meet some of the emperor's grandchildren."

"Yes."

Mu Chenxi nodded in agreement, turned to Zhao Huan and smiled. : "Daughter-in-law, you can rest assured now, I will be fine."

"I know."

Zhao Huan smiled, "With so many people protecting you, I am naturally relieved and have to start busy with my own business. "

They didn't want to rely on Amber and Jiang Haohai before, and at the same time, because Amber was the one behind the scenes, they didn't want to cause trouble to Amber.

Things are different now. Many things have come to light. The prince and the others have come forward one after another. With these top-level figures, Zhao Huan no longer has to worry about the difficulty of protecting themselves in the whirlpool of power.

Jiang Haohai has the status of an imperial master and has a high reputation among literati. Even if they don't reveal that Mu Chenxi is his disciple, it is something that Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi can rely on at any time.

.........

Mu Chenxi followed the prince into the palace, and he took this opportunity to ask for errands for Liu Wenqing.

"Senior brother! This friend of mine has good character, talent and learning. He is a trustworthy person. You can use him with confidence."

Mu Chenxi said with a smile. He would have meat to eat with the prince, so he naturally hoped that the prince could take Liu Wenqing with him. If arranged, Going elsewhere is very different from the direct lineage that follows you all the time.

"I don't ask for a big official position, as long as I can serve my senior brother so that he can display his talents."

Mu Chenxi knew that her request was too much, but who would ask the prince to be his senior brother? Who would ask for it without asking him. Moreover, he had always been optimistic about Liu Wenqing, and it was his own intention to recommend talents to the prince.

When the prince told Liu Wenqing, he thought Mu Chenxi was asking him to help arrange an errand, and he was really thinking about where he could arrange it.

Who knew that Mu Chenxi's next words would change, and she would directly confess that she asked him to stay by his side. These words were almost a lie, making the prince dumbfounded.

Immediately after Mu Chenxi said that he could use it with confidence, he realized that this was Mu Chenxi recommending talents for him, and he felt warm in his heart.

"Okay, just put it next to me."

The prince agreed. He thought for a while and said: "There is no good position now. Please stay with me as a student in the East Palace. The official position is not high enough. I will arrange other positions when I have the opportunity in the future."

"Thank you, senior brother, hahaha. "

Mu Chenxi suddenly laughed happily. Wang Qingquan and Li Shaojie spent a lot of effort to get a small eighth-grade job. Liu Wenqing is lucky.

The prince looked at Mu Chenxi's smiling eyebrows and his eyes became cheerful. "Above the court, there is a prince who defends you. My father thinks that he is honest and prudent, so he has already decreed to promote him to the fourth rank." "Servant, do you know each other?"

"Yes, Uncle Wang is a very kind and caring person."

Mu Chenxi was about to mention this matter, but now that the prince took the initiative, he praised him directly, "Senior brother, you are so kind. People who are affectionate should be reused, and they will definitely serve the emperor, the prince and Da Rong until they die."

"Yes."

The prince agreed. The problem is that it is not his duty now, and the power is in the hands of his father. , Fortunately, although the emperor is strong now, he is not stupid yet, he just wants to seize power.

They came all the way to the study room, where some underage princes had already started classes. The princes and grandchildren were young and did not come too early.

A separate room had been prepared for Mu Chenxi to enlighten the imperial grandchildren, but when the prince and Mu Chenxi arrived, there was no one inside.

Mu Chenxi couldn't help but curl her lips. It was already class time and there was no one there. What did this mean?

"Prince."

When there were people around, Mu Chenxi changed his name and did not call him senior brother again. He acted very aggrieved, "Isn't this official very unwelcome? Why is it that no matter where you go, there is no peace, and you still give me the title on the first day?" You are so unlucky."

"Go and fetch the eldest grandson."

The prince looked gloomy and ordered his attendants, "Tell the princess that if you don't send the eldest grandson, she can go back to her parents' home. "

The prince's mood fell to the extreme. When he gave birth to his son, the princess was embarrassed by the teacher and wanted to be taught by Mrs. Chen from her natal family. She even said she wanted to become a teacher in advance.

He was extremely angry. He didn't discuss such a big matter with him in advance, and dared to make the decision on his own just because he gave birth to the emperor.

They have no say in everything that happens to the prince and his grandsons. Unless the emperor doesn't ask, he can make arrangements by himself, even if he is the prince, there is nothing he can do.

But this Crown Princess has always pushed the bottom line. Yesterday, I was afraid that she would play off her temper and gently persuade her not to go against the Emperor's will and send her son over as early as possible.

Who would have expected that he would go against his will. On the surface, he promised well and looked gentle and virtuous. Today, he slapped himself in the face and openly took the lead in disobeying the holy will. He was really asking for death.

"Don't be anxious."

The prince looked embarrassed and comforted Mu Chenxi and said, "No one dares to disobey my father's will. Maybe there is something delayed or he has to come a few days late."

He patted Mu Chenxi on the shoulder and forced a smile. "With my son here, you won't have any enlightenment, so don't worry."

"That's good."

Mu Chenxi smiled and said, "I thought that this second position would also be lost. Fortunately, the grandson of the emperor is still there to support the appearance. I will teach you well and live up to the emperor and the prince. "

"Since my father has given me the decree, I trust you."

The prince adjusted his mood and returned to normal, smiling: "From now on, the eldest grandson will be entrusted to you for guidance, and I am very relieved."

From the emperor's decree, the prince understood that his father had already decided many things. Those who wait to see whether they will be deposed are doomed to be disappointed.

From that moment on, Mu Chenxi was the future emperor's master. It seems that my father knows everything, except that his personality and behavior have changed, and there are many destined things that he will not change.

...

At the same time, the emperor received news and learned about the situation of the emperor's grandchildren, but no one came to enlighten them.

He raised his brows and sneered, his face full of ridicule, as if he was saying to himself: "It's okay if you don't come, they don't have anything to do with you."

Then he ordered someone to draw up an order, "Take the crown princess, immediately Send the great emperor's grandson to the palace for enlightenment, and stay in the palace from now on. The princess should be virtuous and virtuous, and she should uphold her filial piety and pray for the late empress. She should burn incense and chant sutras and pray three times every morning, noon and evening. "

A discerning person will know that the emperor is disgusted. Enter the Crown Princess. This is tantamount to relegating a person to the cold palace. Even if the concubine position is not abolished, she will remain a marginal figure in the future.

After this imperial edict was drafted, the emperor issued another imperial edict, instructing other princes to take charge of their own sons' education. They do not need to enter the palace for enlightenment, they can do it directly in the palace or anywhere outside.

It indirectly expressed his displeasure with them and would not interfere with these matters in the future. It also proved the status of these princes and grandsons.

.........

Zhao Huan came back from the palace gate, wrote a letter directly, sent another message to Mujiacun, and ordered people to prepare to go to Rongdu.

Now that everything is stable, he no longer has any worries. If he wants to start a business in Rongdu, he must also open Jishantang and other things that benefit the people throughout Daerong.

He himself grew up in an orphanage and has been there as long as he can remember. It can be said that without the orphanage, Zhao Huan may not be able to survive. This is also the motivation for him to always do good deeds and accumulate virtue.

With a smile on his face, Zhao Huan regained his life in this other world, and was lucky enough to meet Mu Chenxi, the person who would be with him for the rest of his life.

In the midst of happiness, he gradually changed a lot. At the same time, he had the family ties of the Mu family, the care of the two elders Amber and Jiang Haohai, and many, many friendships worth cherishing.

.........

A month later, in the distant Mujia Village, Mu Chenhui ran back to the village from the town with an excited face. With tears in his eyes, he shouted loudly: "Dad, Dad, come out quickly."

"Why? "What's wrong?"

Mu's father heard his eldest son's urgent cry and hurriedly ran out of the house. Seeing Mu Chenhui's appearance, he thought something serious had happened, "Don't worry, sit down and speak slowly.

" Dad, Chenxi won the first prize in the examination."

Mu Chenhui's tears of excitement gradually fell from his eyes, and he said in a trembling tone: "Your son has won the first prize, and your father is the first prize!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Mu Daddy . He was stunned at first, and then he covered his mouth to block the sobs that were about to come out. He didn't expect that his son would win the first prize.

After Mu Chenxi was injured, he had given up on doing what he wanted, as long as his children were well.

Unexpectedly, three years later, Mu Chenxi said that he would go to Rongdu again to take the examination. Mu's father was so surprised that he couldn't believe it.

After Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi left, it took a long time to calm down, and now it brought him a great surprise, "The number one scholar, my son is the number one scholar, hahaha."

.........

Yuanyang Academy, Amber and Jiang Haohai Hands, looking in the direction of Rongdu, there are many people they care about there.

"They will get better and better."

Jiang Haohai smiled and looked at Amber, who had a peaceful face. "Now you will no longer be angry and think about beating the emperor's kid every day."

"Humph."

Amber smiled happily, But he still said stubbornly: "He can think of the best. He was obedient when he was a child. But now when he grows up and becomes the emperor, he can't distinguish the importance and wants to be an unruly and ignorant king. Even Zhongliang wants to change the prince and take back the power. Don't be lenient, you think we are merciful."

"Okay, okay."

Jiang Haohai knew that he was hard-spoken and soft-hearted, otherwise he would not have escaped from Rongdu with him. "You just weren't willing to deal with him ruthlessly, so you left to let him calm down and think clearly. Now it's as you wished!"

"Well? "

Amber looked at the letter in his hand and smiled slightly: "He also asked us when we would go back. He didn't think about who made us angry. He should wait until we have stayed here long enough. "
