When she was a classmate, she often playfully called his cousin Yuan Zhong.

Restore the red makeup and marry him, and you have to abide by the rules of the heavenly family. Only in private when no one else was around, she would occasionally call him that.

Emperor Jianwen's heart was hot, and he didn't want to nod his head: "Okay, I'll accompany you to review the test papers." ”

Empress Yu's eyes were slightly bent and she laughed.

The beauty is gradually twilighting, and her complexion is no longer as bright and terrifying as it was back then. This smile has the look of youth again.

Emperor Jianwen's heart swayed, and he held Empress Yu's hand tightly.

Empress Yu shrank her hand slightly and laughed in a low voice: "I am middle-aged, and I am old. There are many young and delicate beauties around the emperor, holding my hand like this, and they are not afraid of jokes. ”

Emperor Jianwen stared at Empress Yu and whispered softly: "Lianniang, I will always have you alone in my heart." Those concubines had to be admitted to the palace in order to continue the heirs of the heavenly family. I know I've wronged you all these years. You can rest assured, our Changping will always be the eldest princess, and no one can go beyond her. ”

Oh, yes! If it weren't for her Changping, how could she endure for so many years?

Empress Yu pursed her lips and smiled, and pulled Emperor Jianwen to sit at the table: "Xian Zhi said that the top three this year are better than last year's top spots." Especially the test paper ranked first, the handwriting is beautiful, and the arithmetic and miscellaneous studies are all correct. Even the policy theory was written impassionedly and wonderfully. ”

Emperor Jianwen came to be interested: "Oh? So I'm going to take a good look! ”

Just then, a sinister knock sounded outside the door.

Displeasure flashed in Emperor Jianwen's eyes, and his voice suddenly became cold: "What's the matter?" ”

He had already ordered that after entering the Jiaofang Palace, no one was allowed to disturb him.

Empress Yu was quite virtuous and generous, and gently opened her mouth to comfort: "If there is no important matter, Gonggong Lu will not dare to disturb him." The emperor still called him in and asked him. ”

Emperor Jianwen stretched his brows and nodded slightly.

……

A moment later, Grandpa Lu came in.

Father-in-law Lu is over 40 years old this year, with a white face and delicate skin, even at this age, he is still handsome.

Gonggong Lu has served Emperor Jianwen since he was a child, and now he has been serving for more than 30 years. In terms of qualifications, no one can beat him. He was also very familiar with Emperor Jianwen's temperament and temper, and he saluted neatly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Duan ordered someone to send a letter, saying that His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor Prince was seriously ill, and he kept shouting to the emperor. ”

"The matter involves His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, and the servants dare not be careless, and dare to report it. disturbed the interest of the emperor and the mother, the slave should be damned! ”

The Nine Emperors had just turned one year old, and he was born white and cute, and Emperor Jianwen liked this young son quite much. Hearing that this was the case, his anger disappeared, and he smiled apologetically at Queen Yu: "Lianniang, I will go back to take a look." ”

Empress Yu said softly: "The emperor doesn't have to remember his concubines. But it doesn't hurt to go! ”

Emperor Jianwen got up and left.

Empress Yu sent Emperor Jianwen outside the palace.

Emperor Jianwen's broad and strong back became more and more upright under the illumination of the palace lamp.

This is the son of Daqi, her beloved, and her daughter's father.

He is also the common husband of all the concubines in the harem and the father of all princes and princesses.

Since Concubine Duan entered the palace, she has been quite favored. After giving birth to the Nine Emperor Princes, she was immediately promoted to the position of concubine. The young and charming concubine has a variety of means to compete for favor. In the name of the Nine Emperor Princes, it is naturally not the first time to "invite" Emperor Jianwen to go. "Robbing people" from the Jiaofang Hall is the first time.

Empress Yu silently watched Emperor Jianwen's figure drifting away, with a hint of depression and self-deprecation in her eyes. After stopping in place for a long time, I returned to the dormitory.

……

Half an hour later, Gonggong Lu came in person, looked apologetic and embarrassed, and lowered his voice to report: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the Nine Emperor Princes are quite sick and very clingy. When he saw the emperor, he hugged the emperor's arm and refused to let go. ”

"Your Majesty ...... tonight"

I'm afraid I won't be able to come.

The last few words, before he could say anything, were gently interrupted by Empress Yu: "The Nine Emperor Princes are sick, and it is natural for the emperor to accompany him more." You go back to report to the emperor, don't worry about the palace. ”

Father-in-law Lu respectfully agreed, and then retired.

As he exited the dormitory, Gonggong Lu quietly glanced up.

Empress Yu lowered her head slightly, her expression was peaceful, and she couldn't see the slightest displeasure.

Father-in-law Lu sighed secretly.

Yu Lianniang, who loved and hated fiercely and was stubborn and proud, has now become a qualified queen of the Middle Palace. Seven emotions and six desires are covered under a thick mask.

On this night, the candle flame in the Jiaofang Hall was burned until the hour was never extinguished.

The lily incense in the dormitory has long been removed and replaced with an elegant magnolia.

Empress Yu was intently reading the test papers. Only the geese fell to serve, and the rest of the palace maids had already retreated. The dormitory was silent, except for the faint sound of breathing and the clattering of papers.

Yanluo finally couldn't help but step forward and said softly: "It's past the third watch, Niangniang should rest!" ”

Empress Yu didn't raise her head: "There are still the last two test papers." ”

Yanluo reluctantly stopped his mouth.

After a long time, Empress Yu finally raised her head and exhaled deeply. The test papers have all been read, and the top ten test papers have been picked out and placed one by one in order of ranking.

After a busy night, Queen Yu's originally gloomy and boring mood spread out a lot, and she said with a smile: "Most of this year's freshmen are better than last year!" ”

Yanluo smiled playfully: "There is the queen mother who personally presides over the teaching, and there are many famous ladies who are interested in taking the Lianchi Academy. There are always great people among them. Now they have become the protégés of the emperor's mother. I don't know who the first name is? Is the slave lucky enough to know first? ”

Empress Yu stretched her brows and said with a smile: "The palace will personally open the name now." ”

Even Empress Yu herself is also full of curiosity about this talented first place in the pen.

Yanluo brought light and slender scissors over.

Empress Yu opened the test paper with scissors, and her eyes fell fixedly on the place where she was signed. Then, with a slight smile, he put the name first on the list!

……

The days of waiting for the release of the list are particularly difficult.

Xie Yunxi couldn't sit still, and there was no taste in the food. There were also two small red dots on his forehead.

The county lord of Yongning saw it in his eyes, and he had to count a few words: "What is there to worry about!" I've done it before, and Ming Niang's test paper is signed with your name. As long as she doesn't miss out, you will be admitted to the college. ”

Xie Yunxi flattened his mouth and whispered: "Mother, are you really so sure of the third sister?" ”

It's not a taste to listen to.

The county lord of Yongning glanced at the pantothenic Xie Yunxi, and said lightly: "If she fails the exam, few of the ladies in the capital will be able to pass the exam." ”

Xie Yunxi: "......"

Xie Yunxi's heart became even more sour.

The county lord of Yongning slowed down his tone and comforted softly: "Why do you bother with this!" No matter how good Ming Niang is, she is only worthy of being a stone under your feet. When the list is released tomorrow, you will be a new student of Lotus Pond Academy. ”
