"Didn't you ask Steward Li to call me? Why did you forget?" Feng Yuanchen pursed the corners of his lips and looked at the old marquis aggrievedly.

"I really forgot." Old Marquis Sheng stretched out his hand and knocked on Feng Yuanchen's head, "And you, why didn't you stop Zhiyao's girl."

Speaking of Sheng Zhiyao, Feng Yuanchen immediately shook his head with a bitter face: "I can't persuade her at all!"

"Nonsense, nonsense!" Old Marquis Sheng was furious, "I still want to burn the imperial study, I really want to make a show."

Feng Yuanchen saw that he was angry, and hurriedly comforted, "Master, do you also think that Zhiyao did something wrong?"

Old Marquis Sheng glanced at him: "That's not it, I just feel that there is a lack of consideration."

"That's it, anyway, the imperial grandfather didn't blame her, it's just a grounding."

Old Marquis Sheng sighed and patted Feng Yuanchen's head: "Forget it, I don't bother to care."

"Thank you, master."

"Okay, I'll go and rest first, and I'll have to help your imperial grandfather take the exam tomorrow."

"You're still an examiner, huh? Aren't you afraid that others will say that you are biased?"

"What others say is someone else's business, anyway, I just have a clear conscience." Old Marquis Sheng waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the inner room, "Besides, who can say that you master and me?"

"That's it, master, you rest early, I'm leaving."

"You kid has taken good care of Zhiyao for me recently, and you are not allowed to run around."

"Yes, yes."

Feng Yuanchen respectfully exited the door, and then slipped quickly to the door of Sheng Zhiyao's room.

Sheng Zhiyao was lying on the bed, and when she heard the movement, she turned over and looked at the figure at the door.

"Why are you here so late?"

"Help the master watch you." Feng Yuanchen sat at the door with a grin, "How are you, Grandpa Huang has murdered you?"

"No, I scared Grandpa."

Feng Yuanchen looked "sure enough", and then asked worriedly, "What should I do then?" Grandpa Huang won't kill you to vent his anger, right?"

Sheng Zhiyao snorted and laughed: "What kind of anger, I'm not a prisoner."

"What if?" Feng Yuanchen touched his smooth chin and thought, "I think that although Grandpa Huang didn't say anything on the surface, he must be very angry, and maybe he will punish you."

Sheng Zhiyao blinked: "Then I won't take him to make money."

"Don't!" Feng Yuanchen hurriedly stopped her, "This trick doesn't work for the imperial grandfather, although his favorite is not money, but only money can make ghosts grind."

Sheng Zhiyao smiled: "That's right, I also like silver, as long as I have money to spend, who is willing to take risks."

"yes." Feng Yuanchen nodded as if empathetic, "So you should hurry up and think about how to make Grandpa Huang happy." ap.

"yes, I see." Sheng Zhiyao got up and sat up, "Feng Yuanchen, how did I find out that something was wrong with you today?"

"Wrong?" Feng Yuanchen scratched his head and stared at the door in disbelief, "What's wrong?"

Sheng Zhiyao stared at him and thought carefully for a while before he slowly spoke, "You are very lively today."

When Feng Yuanchen heard this, he immediately showed an embarrassed and flustered expression, and hurriedly coughed twice as a disguise: "Where, where is there ......?"

Sheng Zhiyao squinted, and a sly smile flashed under his eyes: "What, I broke it? Say, did the imperial grandfather tell you something?"

"Nope." Feng Yuanchen flatly denied it, "Okay, you sleep, I'll go back." After saying that, he turned around and fled.

Sheng Zhiyao looked at the door and smiled happily, but scolded secretly in his heart: Stinky boy, it's not half my age to play tricks with me, wait and see.

In the early morning of the next day, Sheng Zhiyao woke up very early, went to his grandfather's Qingliu Courtyard with dark circles under his eyes, and as soon as he entered the study, he saw his grandfather sitting at the desk, his fingers constantly rubbing the pen.

Sheng Zhiyao stepped forward and said obediently, "Grandpa, are you looking for me?"

Old Marquis Sheng looked up at her, nodded and asked, "How was your sleep last night?"

"Hmm." Sheng Zhiyao nodded

, and then added, "Okay."

"That's good!" Old Marquis Sheng nodded with satisfaction, "Are you not convinced that your imperial grandfather punished you?"

"Nope." Sheng Zhiyao shook his head, "I know that my mistakes can be improved!"

"Since there isn't, let's accompany grandpa to meet a few people later."

Sheng Zhiyao was stunned, blinked twice and said, "What kind of person?"

"You burned the examinees yesterday."

The corners of Sheng Zhiyao's mouth twitched, and she thought for a moment before asking tentatively, "How many people are that?" What did Grandpa Huang send them to do? Be...... Shall I apologize?"

Old Marquis Sheng glanced at her and said slowly, "Do you think you should apologize?"

"Of course!" Sheng Zhiyao said with a serious face, "But I don't regret it."

"No regrets?"

"That's right!" Sheng Zhiyao had a reasonable expression, "If I choose again, I will still burn the scroll."

After a pause, he continued: "It's just that I am also responsible for this matter, although it was because of me that their files were destroyed, but the final decision-maker is still the imperial grandfather, I hope that the bad guys can be brought to justice, and I will be punished accordingly, and everyone will be happy."

Old Marquis Sheng stared at Sheng Zhiyao with a smile, and only nodded for a long time before he nodded and said, "Okay, that's right, grandpa supports you."

After hearing this, Sheng Zhiyao jumped up happily.

"Prepare for today, and go with grandpa later."

"Okay!" Sheng Zhiyao readily agreed.

In the imperial study, the emperor in a dragon robe sat on the dragon chair behind the desk, and his eyes swept coldly over the thirty-two candidates standing in the center of the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I asked you to answer your questions in front of your palace for the sake of fairness, justice, and openness." After speaking, he paused, and his tone softened, "I have already found out that the leakage of secrets by officials in the imperial examination was done by the commander of a guard of the Gongyuan Academy, he looked at the examination questions sent by the Hanlin Academy in advance, and accepted bribes in the examination room in a grand manner, and leaked the test questions to his colleagues, resulting in many candidates falling off the list. And you are all the best in the provinces, and whoever is eliminated is a loss to the country. Talented people are not confined to paper, so I will destroy all these exam papers in front of you today, is it meaningful?"

When everyone heard this, they all knelt down and kowtowed, and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise, and the grass people are meaningless."

"Okay." The emperor waved his hand and motioned to Gonggong Cui to take all the rolls and put them in the brazier to light them. Watching the scroll gradually turn into ashes, the emperor sighed lightly with a complicated expression, and then announced the topic of this Q&A in front of the palace.

Old Marquis Sheng took Sheng Zhiyao to sit behind the screen, watching the thirty-two people outside answer the questions one by one, and even some people couldn't understand what they said, Sheng Zhiyao couldn't help laughing.

"Laugh at what you laugh!" Old Marquis Sheng glared at her, "Be quiet."
