"Just now... The palace people hurried away, as if to announce the decree..."

"Yes, it seems to be, why haven't we entered the palace for so long?"

The children of the family who had been waiting at the door for a long time began to talk in a low voice, and began to watch the people go out, they didn't dare to hum, which would be a little unbearable.

People are a little curious.

"I'm afraid that there are important matters above the court that have not yet been discussed, and tomorrow is the spring festival, and there are many court affairs."

On weekdays, these sons are highly praised outside, and they are courteous wherever they go, but now at the gate of this palace, they have experienced what imperial power is.

No matter how rich they are, this palace gate is here, and without a will, they cannot go forward a single step.

They have a deep understanding of the word wealth from childhood to adulthood, but they still need to slowly understand the word power, and today is a beginning.

"Childe, why is it so long?"

This made Ji An a little anxious, he wouldn't die and something went wrong in the court, after all, his son-in-law was not a son-in-law...

Of course, Ji An hopes that his son-in-law can enter the court smoothly, so that the son-in-law also has hope in the Cheng family, isn't it?

"If you come, you will be safe, and there is no need to wait anxiously."

Cheng Lan was calm, whether he could enter the court or not was never his will, and in the means of King Su and his father, judging from the current situation, he was going to enter today.

Because his father couldn't watch the Cheng family suffer.

Rather... Cheng Si, who was still in the cell of the Criminal Department, was afraid that he would be very angry.

"Childe is really not at all... Not nervous? ”

Ji An swallowed his saliva, and the more he talked, the more nervous he became.

Childe only has this one chance.

Cheng Lan smiled and didn't speak, at this moment, there was a commotion at the gate of the palace, and Cheng Lan also followed the movement.

When he saw Mei Shijiu, there was more clarity in his eyes.

Could it be that the holy decree just now should have been sent to the Mei Mansion, the ninth son of the Mei family... It's finally time to enter the court.

If that's the case, then he's really looking forward to entering the main hall today.

The rumored Nine Princes, in the end, still entered the court, that is... Can't the Holy One stop it?

"Nine Princes?"

Ji An also recognized it, and couldn't help but snort, appearing here at this time, needless to say, he knew what the reason was.

As soon as Mei Shijiu got off the carriage, the palace people summoned the sons of the family to enter the palace and go to the main hall.

For a while, everyone was a little relieved, and they forgot to say hello when they saw Mei Shijiu.

On the contrary, Mei Shijiu saluted everyone first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please."

After Mei Shijiu finished speaking, he strode forward, and paused when he walked to Cheng Lan's side, "Cheng Liugongzi, go along?" ”

Cheng Lan was slightly stunned, then smiled, "It's an honor!" Nine sons, please! ”

Mei Shijiu smiled and strode forward.

"How did the Ninth Prince talk to the Cheng family... Walking together? ”

"yes, I haven't heard of them knowing each other..."

"The Mei family is not King Hesu..."

Behind Mei Shijiu and Cheng Lan, there was a whisper, but they stopped after saying a few words.

harem

The news of Mei Shijiu's entry into the palace reached the ears of Concubine Li and Princess Jiu, and the faces of the mother and daughter changed instantly.

"It seems... Your royal brother didn't stop him! ”

Concubine Li looked at her daughter and took in the loss in the other party's eyes.

Feng Shuya didn't make a sound, and slowly got up and saluted to Concubine Li, "Mother, the son-in-law is going to accompany the emperor's grandmother to chant, and the son-in-law will retire first!" ”

Concubine Li didn't say anything, nodded and waved her hand, feeling a little disappointed in her heart.

After such a long time of obsession, it is inevitable to be sad, but as a princess, she shouldn't be so obvious when she is sad and sad, which makes people laugh!

Feng Shuya also seemed to have expected Concubine Li's reaction to be like this.

It's not sad, it's just that she doesn't want to be here at the moment.

"Niangniang, Mei Shijiu entered the court, it is impossible to be a concubine, the princess is sad, you..."

As soon as Feng Shuya left, Concubine Li's personal aunt couldn't help but say, in the palace, those who can talk to their masters like this are ordinary servants who pay attention to their masters.

Concubine Li looked at the door and sighed, "It's all used to the queen mother, this concubine has already told her that the Mei family is not an ordinary family, and Mei Shijiu is so outstanding, how can the Mei family be willing to let him still be a concubine?" The Queen Mother always gave her hope... It's also that she can't figure it out herself, she has to fall deeper and deeper, and the concubine also knows that she is uncomfortable, she is my own child, can I not feel distressed? But you also looked... She looks like this, Concubine Ben just wants to comfort her with a few words, can she listen? ”

"Niangniang, the ninth princess has been by the side of the Queen Mother since she was a child, and this is why... With you..."

"Okay, speaking of which, this concubine shouldn't be... Back then, she tried every means to let the Queen Mother choose her, originally for her good, thinking that raising her by the Queen Mother's side in this harem would give her an extra layer of protection, but now she is not close to me and can't complain about anyone... It's just that, I can't marry the one I want to marry, with the Queen Mother here, her marriage will not return to where it goes, but Ziheng... I didn't stop Mei Shijiu this time, one is not good, and he may have offended the Mei family, so he shouldn't have tried it in the first place... Suwang is a lesson from the past! ”

The Mei family can't be easily moved in the end.

Concubine Keli didn't know that her son's mind was much deeper than she thought.

Since he did it, he thought that he would offend the Mei family and offend Mei Shijiu, but he knew better that the Mei family could not be won over, so it would be a great obstacle in the future, so he would make this move after all.

Stopped, once and for all, didn't stop ... It can also make his father realize the power of the Mei family.

As an emperor, how can he tolerate forces above the court that he cannot control?

Looking at Mei Shijiu, who walked into the main hall, Yue Wang Feng Ziheng had already adjusted his mood and cheered up.

The road is long, and what will be the end, it is too early to say.

Mei Shijiu did not squint at the children of other families and made a big salute together.

Seeing Mei Shijiu in a sauce-colored robe, Emperor Xuan's eyes flashed.

"Excuse me! Arise all, and if you can go up to this great hall today, it means that you are all outstanding in your families, and good men should be ......."

Emperor Xuan looked at the children of the family standing in the main hall and began to speak.

The children of the family standing on the main hall bowed their heads to listen to the holy will, and for the first time they stood on this Jinluan Palace, this solemn majesty made them nervous involuntarily, and some timid palms began to sweat.

After a short speech, he cut to the chase.

“… Whether you can serve the country and win glory for your family depends on your respective abilities......"

The so-called palace examination begins, and the process is also simple, first of all, each of the six Shangshu has a question to test their familiarity with court affairs; Then there is the question of the three dukes, the third prince of this dynasty, Mrs. Mei, is in the court, the master has been recuperating at home and has not come to the court for a long time, and the Taibao has been vacant, so only Mrs. Mei asked questions alone, and finally Emperor Xuan.

Therefore, there are actually only three exams in the palace examination, no pen and ink, ask on the spot, answer on the spot, and the result is that the ministers discuss it directly.

"Liuqing, let's make a question."

The six Shangshu took a step forward at the same time, and the first one to ask a question was Yun Shangde.

In fact, there is nothing new, asking back and forth, asking about those things, all of them are children of the family, just going through the motions.

But even so, it is still high and low.

Mei Shijiu is naturally the one who is in the limelight, and the other is Cheng Lan, who is quite surprising.

When it was Emperor Xuan's turn to come up with the question, Emperor Xuan's exit scared everyone.

"I can answer this question, stay, if you can't answer it, I'll go back!"
