It was getting late, and there were several palace lamps hanging inside and outside the Jiaofang Palace.

The soft light shines through the delicate carved lampshade, with a bit of hazy meaning. It also covered up the regret that Queen Yu was getting old and wrinkled at the corners of her eyes.

Long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, straight nose and red lips.

The bright colors are eye-catching, and the elegance is unparalleled.

This is Emperor Jianwen's wife, the current Empress Yu of the Middle Palace.

The girl who was famous all over the world at that time has experienced a long time of baptism, and has sat in the middle palace for several years, and her bearing is terrifying, which makes people dare not look at it directly.

Empress Yu smiled in her eyes and had a gentle and cordial attitude.

Gu Shanchang was not rude because of Empress Yu's generosity, and bowed respectfully: "I have seen the queen mother." ”

Empress Yu smiled a little helplessly: "I have told you many times, when you and I meet alone, you don't have to be so polite." Just call him by his first name, as you used to do. You're always so stubborn. ”

Gu Shanchang turned a deaf ear, and after saluting, he stood up straight: "In front of Niangniang, how can you be presumptuous at will." ”

Empress Yu also took advantage of her former friend's inability to scold, and then returned to the topic: "In this freshman exam, can there be any outstanding people?" ”

Speaking of this exam, Gu Shan's eyebrows moved slightly, flashing with a bright look: "I am about to return to my mother." This freshman exam is really good. The top three papers are better than last year's top papers! ”

Empress Yu was interested when she heard it: "Oh? Really? ”

Gu Shanchang smiled: "Exactly! In particular, the test paper that was rated as the first place by us is really amazing! After the mother sees it, she will definitely be amazed! ”

Empress Yu and Gu Shanchang have been friends in the boudoir since childhood, have known each other for more than 30 years, and know each other's temperament and temper very well. Naturally, it is clear that she never exaggerates. That being said, this test paper, which was rated as the first place, must have its own uniqueness.

Empress Yu originally planned to get up early tomorrow to mark the test papers, but at this time she changed her mind: "Take the top three test papers." ”

Yan Luo laughed in response, and quickly took three test papers.

Empress Yu picked up the first test paper, swept her phoenix eyes, and her eyes gradually showed approval. Flipping to the arithmetic one, I was quite surprised.

By the end of the policy, the smile on Queen Yu's face gradually converged, her eyes were complicated, and she was silent.

Gu Shanchang didn't say anything, only quietly looked at Queen Yu with a worried expression.

A girl's face from a long time ago flashed in my mind.

……

"Xianzhi, I'm really not convinced. Obviously, I am smarter than a few clan brothers, why can they apply for the academy? I can only stay in the boudoir! ”

A beautiful girl who is only ten years old, with long eyebrows and a slightly raised face, her face is full of resentment: "I am the only daughter in the family, my mother loves me, and my father loves me a lot." I always thought that no matter what I was going to do, they would support it. Unexpectedly, as soon as I mentioned that I wanted to go out to study, they scolded me sharply. ”

"What do you say, women are more important than virtue! After the age of ten, you should not show your head again. ”

"I'm not convinced! This year, the new students of Shochiku Academy are enrolled, and I will definitely give it a try! ”

When she was young, she was born in a famous scholarly family and was full of poetry and books, but she did not have the courage and courage of her friends. Hearing this, he was taken aback: "Lianniang! Don't mess around! Shochiku Academy only accepts men. You are a girl, how can you go to Songzhu Academy? ”

The young and bold Yu Lianniang laughed mischievously: "What's so difficult about this! I secretly put on my eldest brother's clothes and took his place to sign up. ”

The eldest brother in Yu Lianniang's mouth is Yu Lianchi, the eldest son of Yu Jiashu.

Yu Lianchi is only half a year older than Yu Lianniang and has a similar height. He has had smallpox since he was a child, and he has left marks on his face. Yu Lianchi has low self-esteem and almost never goes out. Very few people know him.

She hesitated a little: "On the day of the exam, you go to Songzhu Academy, and your eldest brother stays in the mansion, if someone detects it, he will show his feet." ”

Yu Lianniang had obviously thought about it, and folded her hands and begged: "I have to ask you for this matter." On that day, you will ask my eldest brother to go out of the house for me, choose a clean and unattractive place, and coax him to stay all day. ”

The Yu family and the Gu family are good friends. She and Yu Lianchi grew up together since childhood, and they are also childhood sweethearts. Yu Lianchi is willing to listen to her on weekdays.

A ten-year-old girl, who was pampered and brought up, where does she understand the thrill of this. She thought it was interesting and exciting, so she responded.

Yu Lianniang was overjoyed and shook her arm: "So Xianzhi, I knew that you would definitely agree to help me!" ”

She chuckled under her breath, "You're going to give it a try this year." If you can pass the test, it will be interesting. I'll take my brother's name next year and take the test. ”

Yu Lianniang was full of confidence and full of energy: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to pass the exam." Just wait for my good news! ”

"By the way, I've only told you about it. Don't tell anyone. ”

She nodded solemnly.

Two ten-year-old girls, leaning their heads together and whispering. I didn't know that I was about to break into a catastrophe.

……

A month later, Shochiku Academy released the list.

The name of Yu Lianchi ranks first!

This name moved the capital overnight!

The person who delivered the good news arrived at Yu's house. Lord Yu, who was the head of the Hanlin Academy, suddenly changed his face. Reluctantly, after sending the person who sent the joy away, he immediately ordered someone to call Yu Lianchi's Yu Lianniang brothers and sisters over.

Yu Lianchi was stunned and at a loss.

Yu Lianniang was full of smugness and pride.

Lord Yu was so angry that he fainted on the spot. After waking up, Yu Lianniang scolded her: "...... Ridiculous! Monkey business! You replaced your brother to take the Songzhu Academy, and now you are the top student in high school, and everyone in the capital knows it. What's next? ”

"Do you plan to replace Lotus Pond all the time and fail to study at Songzhu Academy?"

The proud Yu Lianniang straightened her chest: "Why not?" ”

Lord Yu was almost stunned again: "You are a girl's family, mixed in with men, what kind of body has you become?" How will you marry in the future? If this matter spreads, what face will our Yu family have at all? ”

"You immediately pretend to be sick for me, and you are not allowed to report to the academy!"

Yu Lianniang's temper attacked, and she immediately hit back: "Since I have passed the exam, why can't I go to study?" It will be inconvenient to marry in the future, so I will not marry for the rest of my life. In short, I'm going to Shochiku Academy! ”

Lord Yu's face was pale, and he wanted to move the family law.

Yu Lianchi fell to her knees and pleaded for her sister: "Father's anger! My sister is very smart, and if she wants to go to Songzhu Academy to study, let her go! In the future, she will be Yu Lianchi. ”

Then he gritted his teeth and said: "I will take her identity and stay in the inner house in the name of Lianniang!" As long as I don't show my face in front of people, no one will be suspicious! ”

Lord Yu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Yu Lianniang was grateful to the elder brother who came forward, and made a vow: "Big brother, I will make the name Yu Lianchi move the world!" ”
