Although Lu Cancan is not the kind of person who particularly likes children, because as long as the child cries, she will feel a little irritable, but she still likes Maomao's obedient and sensible children very much, and Maomao has suffered so much in Jinguo, and now she has a home when she returns to the capital.

Thinking of the land and people trampled by the Jin Guotie cavalry, Lu Cancan felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't let the Jin Guozhu pay for his life.

What she hopes is that there will be no similar tragedies in the future.

Today in the last dynasty, the emperor asked the ministers who would be the chief judge of this year's imperial examination, according to the qualifications and prestige among the literati, it should be Gu Moxi, but Yang Taishi strongly recommended his son Yang Yan.

The reason is that Gu Moxi was the chief examiner every year in the past, although Gu Moxi has always been impeccable, but he should also give others some opportunities.

Besides, Yang Yan has also traveled all over the world, and he also has a certain reputation among the literati, so he is the most suitable.

Other ministers also chimed in, saying that since Yang Taishi was able to recommend his son so unsuspectingly, it must be because he had great confidence in Yang Yan.

"Gu Aiqing, what do you think?"

"The minister thinks that since Taishi Yang said so, Lord Yang will naturally not live up to the emperor's expectations."

Gu Moxi didn't fight with Yang Yan, the emperor thought about it and said that since this is the case, let Yang Yan be the chief examiner this year.

"Father, it seems that the emperor still trusts us very much."

Originally, Yang Yan and Yang Taishi wanted to take advantage of the fact that Lin Yi and Gu Moxi were not in Beijing to remove those officials who did not belong to their camp, but because of the strong opposition of Lu Pingyao and Lin Zimo, their plan failed to succeed.

The imperial examination is an important way for Dayan to select talents, and the reason why Yang Taishi will spare no effort to win the position of chief examiner for Yang Yan is that he can use this opportunity to make a lot of money, and secondly, to be able to choose some people who are good friends with him to fill the vacant official positions this time.

"This has to be done well, you know?"

Yang Yan will naturally regard the imperial examination as the top priority, which is related to the future of the Yang family.

"Congratulations, Lord Yang."

Mo Ting lived in the courtyard of Yang's mansion but was very idle, Yang Yan was a little unhappy when he saw Mo Ting, and he had told him many times to go out as little as possible, but he left the house for no reason a few days ago.

If it is known that the third prince of the Jin Kingdom rebels now lives in his mansion, I am afraid that the entire Yang family will be punished by the nine clans.

"Is Lord Yang still afraid of this?" Mo Ting said lightly, "I thought Lord Yang wouldn't be afraid of anything." ”

"You're talking about lightness."

Yang Yan still needs to plan slowly if he wants to achieve great things, as long as he does something slightly wrong, he will lose all the Yang family, he must not be cautious.

"yes, but I thought it was simple."

Mo Ting smiled, Yang Yan is now the chief examiner, in charge of everything related to the imperial examination, I think he can use his position to do a lot of things.

"It's none of your business, you just have to do your thing."

Although Yang Yan took in Mo Ting, he was obviously not as polite to him as before, in the end, he was desperate and defected to himself, if his hand was too long, don't blame himself for not giving him the last bit of face.

Mo Ting naturally knew that Yang Yan didn't take himself seriously now, but as long as Yang Yan's big thing didn't succeed for a day, he wouldn't be able to get rid of himself for a day.

There are many secrets hidden in everyone's house outside the palace, and there are even more secrets inside the palace.

Bai Shao handed the queen a bowl of medicine, the queen has been drinking this medicine every day for more than half a year, it is the medicine that the ghost doctor gave her to nourish her body, at least the queen herself thinks so.

After watching the queen drink the medicine, Bai Shao took the bowl and sent it out, and asked the palace maid to pour out all the medicine residue so that no one could see it.

After she finished instructing, she hurried back to serve the queen, the queen touched her belly, the ghost doctor said that she could take care of her body in a year, and she didn't know when her stomach could move.

"Don't worry, God's favor will definitely give Niangniang good news."

"I hope so, but don't let that slut take the lead."

Concubine Shu is younger than the queen, and the emperor has been by Concubine Shu for half a month recently, which makes the queen very unhappy.

Before, the Yang family was wealthy, and the queen also enjoyed the rain and dew alone, but it didn't last long, the emperor was not a dedicated person, and Concubine Shu came up with a lot of ways to please the emperor, so in the end, only Concubine Shu could be favored for a long time.

The queen sighed, a few days ago, she heard that the emperor actually sealed a prostitute as a lady, and she was very unhappy, and persuaded the emperor a few words, saying that her younger brother and sister were the second grade, and it was unreasonable to seal a prostitute, and the emperor's face was not very good.

"Niangniang, in fact, you have no need to be angry with the emperor about this kind of trivial matter, and the emperor is happy."

"What do you know, this palace is the queen, so naturally the emperor should be mentioned all the time."

The queen has always felt that she is the middle palace, if she only knows flattery and flattery like Concubine Shu, wouldn't it make the courtiers see jokes and feel that she is not doing her duty as a queen.

Others only know that sitting in the position of the queen has infinite scenery, where do they know the pain behind them.

In the deep palace, some people cry and some laugh, the queen is sad and the concubine is very proud, she just got favored yesterday, and today she is radiant, and she wants to come to the queen to see her face dark.

"Go and get the medicine from the main palace."

Every time the concubine served the emperor, she had to drink fetal medicine the next day, although the queen secretly let the white peony around her match, but as long as the silver was spent, anything could be obtained.

But I've been with this medicine for a long time, why hasn't there been any movement at all?

Although Concubine Shu had already let the imperial doctor in the palace see this medicine and said that it was no problem, it was always right to be careful in surviving in the deep palace, and she asked Cuihe to go to the palace to find a doctor outside the palace to take a look, and it must be foolproof.

She thought about how she would dress up today so that she could not let the emperor feel tired of looking at it and be able to suppress the queen, but she saw in the mirror that she actually had a white hair.

The little palace maid who combed her hair behind her was slapped in the face by Concubine Shu before she could react.

"Bastard!"

Cuihe hurriedly asked the little palace maid to go out and personally serve the concubine, she hid the concubine's white hair, and combed the concubine with a delicate bun: "Don't be angry, the slave maid will soon send some food and hair growth things to the imperial dining room." ”
