Mu Yunqi watched the students gathered in front of the big list at the gate of the Gongyuan Courtyard rush forward, wishing he could see his name at a glance.

People who saw their names knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed, crying "Ancestor bless" and the like, and there were also people like Xiao Shuyuan who were unusually calm when they saw their names, but more of them didn't find their names from the beginning to the end, and left in frustration, wiping their tears.

Xiao Shuyuan saw Mu Yunqi standing at the gate of the Gongyuan Courtyard in court clothes, and couldn't help but step forward and bowed his hands and said, "Where have you seen it, my lord?" ”

Mu Yunqi smiled and said, "I haven't seen it, how did the son do in the exam?" ”

Xiao Shuyuan arched his hand and said: "No, you will be able to win the yuan." ”

"Yes, let's prepare for the palace test." After speaking, Mu Yunqi turned around and entered the tribute courtyard.

Xiao Shuyuan looked at her background and muttered to himself suspiciously: "It looks too similar, just like a person." But another pretty face quickly appeared in his mind, the woman who knew how to appreciate his paintings had kept him worried about these days.

On the Jinluan Palace, His Majesty the Emperor personally assessed the students who entered the top three, and the ministers attended the two sides to check for the emperor. Mu Yunqi finally had the opportunity to enter this Jinluan Hall.

On the top of the main hall, several princes who have been crowned kings are standing in front of the palace wearing court clothes. The last time Mu Yunqi entered this hall, Situ Jing was dressed in prison clothes, he had not washed properly for a few days, and he looked sloppy, but today he was wearing a four-clawed python robe, and the whole person was extremely energetic, but he really blinded Mu Yunqi's eyes. Mu Yunqi also met the legendary His Royal Highness King Ren and His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

His Royal Highness Nioh is much older than them, and a little more mature and calm than a few of them; The King of Chu had an elegant aura, compared to the equally elegant and dignified King Rui, but it made Mu Yunqi feel that his emaciated face had an evil aura. Looking at it like this, Situ Jing is not only young, but also the most outstanding among the princes, his face has the shadow of Concubine Chen, but he has been tempered by the battlefield with a little more heroism and courage.

Situ Jing glanced at Mu Yunqi, and couldn't help but be proud when he saw her eyes full of envy, but he still had that cold appearance from above.

After a round of palace examinations, Xiao Shuyuan became the top of the list, and another Xue Ziheng recommended by Mu Yunqi won the crown of the list. Situ Jing couldn't help but marvel at Mu Yunqi's gaze, and she selected two top three students at once.

After the imperial examination, the ministry will arrange for these students to let them benefit the country and the people.

Mu Yunqi lobbied between Mu Zhiyuan and Situ Jing to leave Xiao Shuyuan in the capital.

Mu Yunqi leaned on Situ Jing's body and asked, "Do you remember the promise to give me back Mu Yunxuan's freedom?" ”

Situ Jing looked at her coquettish appearance and said, "Remember, what, what little movements do you have." ”

Mu Yunqi smiled mischievously and said, "I won't tell you." ”

Situ Jing was so angry with her that he reached out to tickle her, and after making enough trouble, Situ Jing said to Mu Yunqi: "If you satisfy me, I will let her go." After speaking, he kissed her neck.

On the first day of Xiao Shuyuan's tenure in the household department, His Royal Highness Nioh came to tell him. He saw the background of Nioh, but there were ripples in his heart, he knew that he could stay in the capital and serve in the capital and the Yun Lord of the Ministry of Officials was inseparable, but he had never had the opportunity to thank him in person.

As soon as the imperial examination ended, as soon as the students left, there was an uproar in the capital, and General Zuo and Lord Qin were found guilty of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

In Prime Minister Mu's study, Mu Yunqi and Situ Jing were both gloomy, this matter was a trivial matter that could be dealt with by cutting down on their posts and dismissing officials, but it turned into a big case of Zhulian Nine Clans and blood-stained Jingshi.

"The King of Chu killed two birds with one stone this time, and the bloody case of Zuo Qin will not fall on him in the future, and the initiator is you, the King of Qin, after all."

Mu Yunqi bit the knuckle of his index finger and said, "King Chu is going to have an open relationship with His Royal Highness, why is this time just because of Zuo Qin's opportunity?" ”

Prime Minister Mu nodded, "There should be other reasons, the King of Chu is not a person who is eager for quick success." ”

Situ Jing raised his head at this time and looked at Mu Yunqi and asked, "Last time you told this king that maybe your father was in poor health?" ”

Mu Yunqi shook his head, "The minister is just guessing, the last time the palace test was too far away to see clearly. ”

Prime Minister Mu nodded, "In this way, His Royal Highness King Qin recently arranged to enter the palace once, so that Lord Yun can diagnose His Majesty's pulse, whether His Majesty is ill or not, we should all know in our hearts." ”

Situ Jing then went to Situ Xi to discuss entering the palace, and Situ Xi also thought deeply after hearing this: "My father has been living in Concubine Jiang's Qiongxi Palace since I came in, and I didn't see my father and emperor last time I entered the palace. ”

"Concubine Jiang is the mother concubine of the King of Chu, so it is not impossible for Mu Yunqi to guess, it seems that we need to cooperate with the inside and the outside."

"It seems that the affairs of the palace need to ask my mother to help."

"It's naturally good to have Concubine De's help, but Concubine Jiang is a hindrance, and Concubine De also needs to put some effort into it."

As soon as the court came to court on this day, Concubine De was blocked on the emperor's way to Concubine Jiang's bedroom, and said cautiously: "The concubine recently got a new tea, which tastes fragrant, and I want to invite Your Majesty to taste the tea." ”

"Not today, I have already promised Concubine Jiang to go to her to taste her new pastries."

"Your Majesty, the concubine will not delay you for too long, besides, the concubine's incense is not your favorite, the concubine recently mixed a soothing incense, which can make people feel comfortable and forget themselves."

"Then I'll go sit with you for a while."

After speaking, the emperor took Concubine De to Kunyuan Palace, and Concubine Jiang, who was not far away, squinted at them and left, and said to the maid next to her: "Inform the King of Chu, and Aunt Li from Kunyuan Palace will inquire." ”

The maid took the order and went down.

When she came to Kunyuan Palace, Concubine De lit the incense prepared in advance, and began to sit opposite the emperor to make tea by him. When the tea is put into the cup, a white petal floats from a hint of pale green, wandering in the milky white teacup, stirring up a white rhyme.

Situ Minying looked at the teacup and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, this situation couldn't help but remind him of the time when he was in harmony with Concubine Chen, Yun Xiangrong. Yun Xiangrong was originally a woman he knew among the people, and her fresh and refined appearance immediately captured the heart of the young Junwang, but the good times didn't last long, after Situ Minying left, he also sent people to look for it but never found it again, which became a pain in his heart that could not be fulfilled for a while. Later, he ascended to the throne after a bloody battle, and he saw Yun Xiangrong's figure in the palace women recommended by the ministers for the first time, he couldn't believe it, and after some temptation, he realized that she was really the woman he had in mind, and she was not a folk woman, but the daughter of Yun Xuan, the secretary of the military department, who went to the mountains to study.

He was really happy and angry, but she said, "You don't also hide your identity, none of us have to blame anyone", he was angry with her, and he was almost always with her in the years that followed, but unfortunately she was weak since she was a child, and she was never pregnant after giving birth to Situ Jing, and a friend of hers studied under the medical god Huafeng Tianmen, so she often entered the palace to condition her body, and this woman later married the eldest son of Prime Minister Mu. It's a pity that she is not a long-lived person after all, and she left him and Situ Jing early.

He still remembered that Yun Xiangrong was this light fragrance, and Yun Xiangrong's best thing was this kind of petal tea, and every time there would be a petal floating in the tea, as if it was floating overnight.

Their child was born a little late, but he was unusually intelligent, as swift as his mother. At that time, there was a girl who often came into the palace with her mother to play, Yun Xiangrong smiled and said to herself that she wanted to order a doll for the two of them, but because it was Prime Minister Mu's granddaughter, she never agreed. The relationship with Prime Minister Mu Cheng has always been one of friend and foe, Prime Minister Mu Cheng is a rare talent for governing the world, but this person is too ambitious, he has to control himself everywhere, and the Queen Mother always helps him speak, which makes him very unhappy.

After Yun Xiangrong died of incense, he no longer had the heart to regain his love, and he and the concubines were in his own mood, and he could no longer raise his interest. He owes Situ Jing in his heart, he loves Situ Jing's mother, and he is very happy about this son, but during the time when Concubine Chen passed away, he hated Cheese Jing like a demon, and ignored his life and death, as if he didn't have this son.

It wasn't until the first two years of his waning crown that he went to the border of the Western Regions that he realized that his favorite son had grown up and was leaving him. He didn't agree with him going, but the neglect of his discipline over the years made him extremely stubborn, and he had no choice but to agree. That period of time was the two years when he paid the most attention to the war situation in the Western Regions in his life, and he was afraid that Situ Jing would die on the battlefield, and how he would explain to Yun Xiangrong at that time. Later, when he came back safely, he named him king as soon as possible, handed over the city defense army to her, and gave him real power, so that he could stay in the capital and stay by his side with peace of mind. But he is no longer close to himself, except for the last dynasty, he can rarely be seen walking around the palace, yes, what else does he have to move around, except for this father who turned a blind eye to him, there is nothing in the palace, no mother, no mother, what is he going to do.

Situ Minying thought about this, and had drunk a lot of tea unconsciously, and he was a little tired, so he asked Concubine De to help him take a rest.

Situ Minying fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed, and Concubine De dismissed the attendants, and at this time, Situ Ying came out from behind the curtain with Mu Yunqi.

Mu Yunqi seized the time to check the emperor's pulse, and after a long time, she withdrew her hand, and the solemnity of her face made Concubine De and Situ Jing tremble. The two men pulled her into the side room and asked, "How's the situation?" ”

"Your Majesty's qi pulse is weak, it may be caused by perennial fatigue, and you need to be patient and recuperate."

"Isn't there anything else?" Concubine De asked anxiously.

Mu Yunqi shook his head, "I can't see this yet." ”

After the two of them left the palace, Mu Yunqi brought Situ Jing back to the warm pavilion of the Jun Pavilion, to be honest, Situ Jing hated this place, but this was indeed the most convenient place for Mu Yunqi to speak.

Mu Yun got up and opened the secret door in the room after he came in, "You really don't guard against me." Situ Jing said behind her.

"What is there to guard against, my life is yours."

"Rise, I won't kill you." Situ Jing said helplessly.

Mu Yunqi looked back at him and smiled, this smile was meaningful, Situ Jing didn't know what to say.

The entire chamber was built underground, and they descended to the second floor, which was full of books, and dozens of rows of bookshelves were arranged in a staggered manner.

With so many books stored in various categories, Mu Yunqi kept walking to the back, and Situ Jing did not follow her anymore, but shuttled through the bookshelves.

Mu Yunqi walked to the medical book and read it selflessly, the two of them stayed here for I don't know how long, until someone came down to look for them, and the man arched his hand after seeing Situ Jing and said, "His Royal Highness King Qin, there are people looking for you outside." ”

Situ Jing glanced at the bookshelf behind him, which was blocked by the tall bookshelves, he didn't know where Mu Yunqi was at this time, so he said to the visitor: "This king will go first, and if she asks later, she will say that this king will go back first." ”

The man said yes and went out with him.
