Xiao Yuchen is going to get married next month, and Tang Shuyi is so busy that she barely touches the ground. Just as she was busy, the results of the test came out, and Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yiyuan both entered the first class.

For a time, almost everyone's eyes in Shangjing City were focused on the Dingguo Mansion. There are only three people in this A, and the Dingguo Mansion accounts for two. You can't say that people cheat, Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yiyuan are both famous, and there are people who guess before the test that these two people are at least in the second grade.

Tang Shuyi was naturally very happy, and sealed one hundred and sixty-six taels of silver to the official messenger who came to report the good news, and the two officials were so happy that they almost fainted. The two of them have been giving good news for many years, and they have never received so much silver.

The two officials left happily, and then many people came over to say goodbye, and Xiao Huai and Tang Shuyi didn't go down with the smiles on their faces for a day.

Even Prince Duan was jubilant today, because wherever he went today, someone congratulated him on finding a good son-in-law. He is also a good-looking person, and his future son-in-law gave him a long face, and he was naturally very happy.

When he got home, he also went to the courtyard of the county lord of Jianing and said, "You have a good eye for choosing a son-in-law, and you have a long face." ”

The county lord of Jianing was also very happy today, and he spoke to him very kindly, and there had never been such harmony between the father and daughter. After Prince Duan left, the county lord of Jianing sat there smiling in a daze, and her eldest maid said beside her: "The county lord, you are really bitter and happy." ”

The county lord of Jianing snorted, got up with a smile and took the gift for the big girl to send to the Dingguo Mansion.

On the side of the palace, Li Jingyi sat behind the table, also smiling. Seeing this, Ye Deben smiled and said: "Master Tang is a great talent, it is inevitable that Xiao Shizi can do so well in the exam!" ”

Li Jingyi smiled and took a sip of tea, and then said: "Big brother, he is also very hard-working, and he has met mountain bandits when he traveled abroad. ”

Ye Deben nodded, and said: "I heard that Xiao Shizi met the county lord of Jianing at that time, and it seems that the fate of the two is also predestined. ”

Li Jingyi nodded, but he regretted that the abolished emperor had given them a marriage before, otherwise he could give them a marriage, which could be regarded as the icing on the cake.

At this moment, a little eunuch came in and said, "Lord Zhao of the cabinet asks to see the emperor." ”

The smile on Li Jingyi's face faded a lot, "Please let him in." ”

The little eunuch went out, and after a while, Lord Zhao came in, and after saluting Li Jingyi, he said: "The prince of Dingguo will try to enter the first class, what is the emperor's plan?" ”

Li Jingyi asked suspiciously, "What do I need?" ”

Lord Zhao: "The Dingguo Mansion can be described as cooking oil on fire now, if the emperor thinks about the Duke of Dingguo and the Duchess of Dingguo, don't point Xiao Shizi as the champion when the palace is tested." ”

Li Jingyi lowered his eyes after hearing this, covering up the disgust and impatience in his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, his eyes were pure, "I don't want Xiao Shizi to be the champion when the time comes, it depends on Xiao Shizi's performance when the palace is tested." The imperial examination should be fair, and it is the same here as I am. ”

Lord Zhao looked at him with an upright and innocent face, and he didn't know what to say for a while. After a while, he said: "Your Majesty, everyone knows that you have a deep relationship with Dingguo, so if you named Xiao Shizi as the champion, I am afraid that some people will say that you are biased, and it is not good for you and Xiao Shizi's reputation." ”

Li Jingyi listened to his words, made a serious thinking look, and then said, "I understand, I will consider your suggestion, Lord Zhao." ”

Lord Zhao felt that when he said this, he agreed to his suggestion, and with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty is wise, and he is extremely afraid of decline, and he wants to come to Dingguo and his wife to understand this truth." ”

Li Jingyi nodded seriously, "What Aiqing said is true." ”

Lord Zhao took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said, "Your Majesty will be fifteen years old soon, and you will also reach the age of marriage, should you start the draft." ”

Hearing his words, Li Jingyi's face turned red, "I.... I'm still young, so I'll talk about the wedding later. ”

"Your Majesty," Lord Zhao said sternly, "the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the harem cannot be without a queen for a long time, and Your Majesty must also consider the heirs." ”

Li Jingyi looked at Lord Zhao silently, and when Lord Zhao was a little hairy by him, Li Jingyi opened his mouth and said: "When I marry and who I marry, it is my private matter and my family matter, and Lord Zhao should not interfere." ”

"The minister has no intention of interfering in the emperor's private affairs," Lord Zhao stood up and saluted respectfully, and said: "It's just that you are the monarch, and the monarch's affairs are state affairs." And the harem is involved with the previous dynasty, and the affairs of the harem are also state affairs! ”

"It's the first time I've heard that the affairs of the harem are also state affairs," Li Jingyi said: "Aiqing, you say, why is the affairs of the harem also a state affair?" Is there anyone who wants to use the harem to make a profit? ”

Lord Zhao didn't expect him to be so sharp all of a sudden, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The main thing is the issue of heirs, the emperor's heirs are directly related to the next monarch." ”

Li Jingyi nodded, "I know." ”

Lord Zhao wasn't sure what this meant for a while, but it was not good to ask again. At this time, Li Jingyi said: "It's nothing, Aiqing retreats."

"Yes."

Lord Zhao saluted and retreated, and went down the steps of the imperial study, and he glanced back in the direction of the imperial study before stepping away. He knows that the current emperor is a childhood sweetheart with the daughter of Duke Dingguo, and the position of the queen is likely to be that of Duke Dingguo's.

This is nothing, there will not be only one emperor's empress, even if there is only one, the crown prince is not necessarily the empress. It depends on the ability of each family.

The ministers in the court understand very well how big the interests of the harem are, so many people sharpen their knives and Huo Huo wants to send their daughters to the palace.
