For a moment, everyone looked at His Majesty the Emperor on the high seat.

His Majesty pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at Yun Ruochen, who had been sitting in the imperial study without speaking, and asked, "Seventeen, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Yun Ruochen slowly raised his eyebrows, there seemed to be a kind of tiredness in his light eyes, and half of his face exposed outside the mask was also completely pale.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Yun Ruochen, everyone knew that His Royal Highness King Jing had always been uncontrollable in the capital, and His Majesty would ask His Royal Highness King Jing, which was really unexpected by the people present.

"Back to Your Majesty. Yun Ruochen's voice said respectfully and indifferently: "Everything is up to Your Majesty." ”

Hearing Yun Ruochen's words, His Majesty was not satisfied, but said meaningfully: "What if I want to listen to your opinion?"

As soon as the words fell, Yun Ruochen pursed his lips slightly and paused, and then said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, my brother thinks that the county lord of Huaiyang is not worthy of being the champion of martial arts, even if the martial arts test result is the first place, Your Majesty will leave one of the top three to the county lord of Huaiyang." ”

"Oh?" Hearing Yun Ruochen's words, His Majesty raised his eyebrows with interest, and then said, "You are good to her, I heard that you have a personal relationship with the Lord of Huaiyang?"

After all, His Majesty is a person who has been sitting on the throne for twenty years, how could he not see that Yun Ruochen's move seemed to be stepping on Chu Xiaoxiao, but in fact, it was to avoid some trouble for Chu Xiaoxiao.

Although Chu Xiaoxiao now uses the first place in the martial arts test to make everyone have nothing to say, but since she has taken the martial arts exam, she will enter the military camp after all.

When she arrived in the barracks, no one would care about her identity as the county lord, if she was the champion, it would always be too eye-catching.

Yun Ruochen's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "The county lord of Huaiyang is really temperamental, and the younger brother is just because Lord Chu often treats the younger brother, so he has some intersection with the county lord of Huaiyang, and he can't be regarded as having a personal relationship." ”

"That's ......," His Majesty muttered thoughtfully, and then said, "If that's the case." It makes sense. I forgot, Seventeen, how is your health?"

Yun Ruochen smiled lightly and said casually: "It's just hanging a life, I often have a few attacks on weekdays, whether it's good or not, His Majesty Lao cares." ”

His Majesty nodded, "Then what do you think...... Who is the right person to be the martial champion?"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers present suddenly looked at Yun Ruochen again, thinking in their hearts whether His Royal Highness King Jing had done something recently, so that His Majesty was jealous, so now they are tempting.

Yun Ruochen's eyes also drooped slightly, and after a while, he said, "Qin Chengzhi." ”

"Qin Chengzhi?" His Majesty repeated Yun Ruochen's words, and couldn't help but say: "Why? As far as I know, this Qin Chengzhi was in the army in Yulin Pass before, but he was later dismissed. ”

Yun Ruochen said: "The Qin family has been a leader for generations, and Qin Chengzhi's grandfather Qin Jie also made great achievements when he was young, even if it is for the hearts of those veterans in Anjing City, Qin Chengzhi should be promoted." ”

Qin Chengzhi's grandfather Qin Jie was also a generation of famous generals, but unfortunately he was over fifty years old and has been sick, and he died of illness after 20 years in the capital.

But the world is forgetful, even if Qin Jie made great achievements when he was young, and even the whole family died on the battlefield, only Qin Chengzhi's blood remains, but when he is old and can't fight for the country, people will only remember that when he fought at the border, Qin Jie was still raised in Beijing, enjoying comfort and wealth.

The general's twilight and the beauty are white-headed, which is the most regrettable but helpless thing in the world. Just like General Feng Yao, the reason why she can be immortalized and honored for future generations is because she fell when she was the most perfect, and only in this way will people remember her.

Therefore, after Qin Jie's death, the Qin family's court plummeted, and Qin Chengzhi was repeatedly squeezed out by his former enemies in the army.

Your Majesty is naturally able to think of this, after hearing Yun Ruochen's words, Your Majesty's eyes were a little more thoughtful, "Seventeen, if it weren't for your poor health, I really want you to go to the court to do things, you are so smart, you must be extraordinary if you have the opportunity." ”

"Thank you Brother Huang for your kindness. Yun Ruochen's slender jade-white hand was pressed against his lips, and he coughed twice in a low voice, his face became more and more pale, making people feel as if this person would be able to breathe in the next moment.

After a while, Yun Ruochen took a breath and continued: "It's a pity that the body of the younger brother really lives up to the expectations of the imperial brother. ”

As soon as the words fell, His Majesty immediately laughed, and the look on his face couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy, but said: "That's it, you are also a comfortable character, if you are not in good health during this time, let Chu Ci show you." ”

Yun Ruochen said lightly: "Thank you Brother Huang, it's just that the body of the younger brother is nothing more than the difference between a one-day delay and two days." ”

The time for the release of the imperial examination was soon coming, and on this day, Chu Xiaoxiao didn't even go to see the imperial list, and personally stewed a pot of sauce elbow at home, although the taste was not as good as that of the restaurant outside, but it was still a bit of meat after all.

Poor Yizhu hurriedly returned home after looking at the imperial list for Chu Xiaoxiao, but he couldn't find anyone after looking around, and finally found Chu Xiaoxiao who was squatting next to a pile of firewood and holding an elbow in the small kitchen.

"Miss?!" Yizhu was suddenly startled, opened his mouth, and didn't say anything for a long time.

When Chu Xiaoxiao saw Yizhu, she was also a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly put down the elbow in her hand, wiped the oil on her hand with a rag, and then stood up and said, "That...... I'm just trying to taste it, Yizhu, you have something to do with me. ”

"Miss, today is the day of the release of the scientific examination!" Yizhu stomped his feet, and said with some hatred: "In front of the imperial list outside the Gongyuan, it is a sea of people, why are you not in a hurry at all!"

When Chu Xiaoxiao participated in the martial arts and won the first place in the martial arts test, Yizhu was really frightened.

Later, when I saw Chu Xiaoxiao looking unimpressed, I reluctantly calmed down, and now seeing Chu Xiaoxiao nesting in the kitchen and gnawing on elbows on this day when the list was released, it was simply a refreshing insight for Yizhu.

"What's the hurry. Chu Xiaoxiao patted the dust on her body and said calmly: "Look at you like this, I'm off the list?"

Yizhu hurriedly said excitedly: "No, Miss has been hit by Tanhua, you are the first female Tanhua in the history of our Izumo Kingdom." ”

When he said this, Yizhu's tone was also a little proud.

Although she has been serving Chu Xiaoxiao since she was a child, she has never seen Feng Miao when General Feng Miao died early, but she has heard a lot of Feng Yao's reputation.

Now that Miss has passed the martial arts examination, I am afraid that her future actions will definitely not be worse than that of Feng Jiao back then, as a slave who has served Chu Xiaoxiao since childhood, how can Yizhu not be proud?
