Chapter 20: A flicker

It wasn't until the man came to the front that he realized that it was a little eunuch.

The eunuch first bowed to Xuanyuan Ye, and then said to Shangguan Li.

"County Lord, the emperor asked you to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace."

Shangguan Li nodded to indicate that she understood, and she looked at Xuanyuan Ye again, leaving a sentence.

"I'm not kidding."

Xuanyuan Ye nodded slightly: "I'll think about it." ”

When Shangguan Li stepped into the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, the emperor was immersed in criticizing the folds, and as soon as he looked up when he heard the movement, he saw the county lord of Shaoyang wearing a veil.

I couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with the face?" ”

Why does everyone have to ask when they see her wearing a veil, is it so strange?

Shangguan Li stroked the face under the veil, and she didn't intend to hide it from the emperor, so she pinched the corner of the veil and lifted it.

The next moment, the emperor's eyes widened.

"Shaoyang, you ......"

I saw that the birthmark on Shangguan Li's face, which was originally densely crowded, had disappeared by more than half, and even the color was much lighter.

Coupled with those eyes that were already very good-looking, at this moment, at a glance, there was a bit of a beautiful shadow.

After several months of conditioning and detoxification, it has finally reached the point where it is now.

"Shaoyang, what's going on with your face?!"

Shangguan Li was so shocked that he was about to pout when he saw the emperor, and explained loudly.

When Shao Yang recently flipped through the medical books, he found that there were people like Shao Yang who had black birthmarks on their faces, and the treatment method was recorded later. Shao Yang tried it with the book, and the result was really effective! ”

He said with a look of joy.

"Oh? There is such a thing. ”

The emperor put away his shock and said with a smile: "It's okay, if it's really so magical, then I have to see it well." You say no, high borrowing. ”

Gao Gonggong on the side said happily.

"That's, and the county lord looks like this, it will definitely be excellent in the future. This is all Your Majesty's blessing! ”

"You old thing, you're going to make me happy!"

The emperor laughed and scolded: "This is obviously Shaoyang's own credit." ”

Although he said this, the smile on his face was not fake.

Shangguan Li smiled faintly.

She couldn't say her face was poisoned because she didn't have any evidence yet.

The emperor was happy for a moment, and then remembered what was going on.

"Shao Yang, you said you have something to discuss with me, is that the matter?"

Shangguan Li neither nodded nor shook his head.

"This is on the one hand, in fact, Shaoyang has a reluctant request."

"Say it." The emperor was very bold.

Shangguan Li bowed before speaking.

"I want to ask Your Majesty to allow Shaoyang's children to study in Taichen Academy."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face slowly calmed down and said in a deep voice.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Of course Shangguan Li knows.

Danzi's biological father is of unknown origin, and he is disgraced in the first place. Taichenin is a school that only princes and children of the family can enter.

Most of the monarchs of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the civil and military generals who ruled the country spent time in Taichen Courtyard when they were young.

According to common sense, the dango is not eligible to enter under any circumstances.

But Shangguan Li has her own considerations, Tuanzi follows her, and if she doesn't have a biological father, she will have a low status for a day. Going to Taichenyuan shows that the identity of the group has been recognized by the emperor, and there are only benefits and no harms.

On the other hand, apart from the master inside, it is difficult for anyone else to interfere in the affairs inside.

Even the emperor wanted to interfere with the students inside, and they would be reprimanded by the officials.

It's safe for dango.

Shangguan Li said calmly.

"Shao Yang knew that this request would embarrass His Majesty, but he still dared to give it a try, because Shao Yang knew that His Majesty would agree to Shao Yang."

The emperor's face was already a little unsightly, and the air pressure around him shrouded him, and he snorted coldly.

"Tell me why I promised you."

Shangguan Li didn't look frightened in the slightest, and her back was straight.

"Taichen Academy has a long history, and in the founding era, Emperor Gao Wu personally wrote down the motto of Taichen Academy: Therefore, it is inclusive and inclusive, and diligent thinking is towering to the sky.

As long as the people of the world have inherent talents and learning, who can't enter Taichen Academy? ”

Shangguan Li said impassionedly, but he also understood that the emperor's mind was still elsewhere, and continued.

"Your Majesty has been suffering from the vassal king for a long time, why did the vassal king form? It's just that the power of the family is too great, and the court can't completely control it.

In this case, the Taichen Academy, which symbolizes the world's first university, only accepts people with noble status, doesn't it help to promote the wind of the gate valve and lose the gift of the ancestors?

His Majesty will agree to Shaoyang because this move is in line with the gift of the sages, conforms to the will of the people, and is a meritorious act! ”

Shangguan Li said a lot of high-sounding words in one breath, although these have no connotation in her world, they should be very suitable for the heart of this ancient king.

Sure enough, the emperor's face had already begun to waver.

She hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"Besides, although Shangguan Yu's biological father is unknown, he is Shao Yang's biological son, and he is a real royal bloodline. If others still want to gossip, it is not that His Majesty has lost face, but that others have bad intentions. ”

The emperor sat on the short couch decorated with golden dragon carvings, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly sighed and said leisurely.

"If Shaoyang is not a woman, he should be the minister of my Great Zhou and another humerus."

Shangguan Li lowered his head.

"Your Majesty praises falsely, Shao Yang doesn't dare."

"That's it!"

The emperor waved his hand and ordered the high father-in-law beside him.

"It is proposed that Shangguan Yu, the son of the lord of Shaoyang, will be admitted to the hospital."

Shangguan Li sincerely showed a relaxed smile.

Fortunately, if this set of words can't fool the emperor, she will have a lot of trouble.

The emperor looked at Shao Yang again and said coldly.

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy first, as you said, only those who are able to enter the Taiyuan Academy, if your son can't pass the entrance exam, I can't help it."

"What Your Majesty said is that Shaoyang must urge Yu'er to prepare well."

Her son herself understands that there should be nothing wrong with the entrance exam. It's a big deal that she climbs back to the wall and goes to "ask" the master who asked the question.

The emperor was a little helpless.

"You. But why did you suddenly send your child to Taichen-in? ”

Shangguan Li smiled slightly.

"I'm his mother, of course I want to give him the best."

In fact, it's because she has to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and may have to stay for a while. It would be dangerous for Danzi to follow her, so she could only temporarily place Tuanzi in a relatively safe place.

The goal was perfectly achieved, and Shangguan Li was ready to say goodbye and leave.

When I looked up, I found that the emperor's expression was a little trance-like, as if he remembered something.
