Mu Qingyi smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. We don't live here, we are afraid that we will let you down."

The young man who spoke was a little disappointed, but after seeing the two of them coming to say hello, maybe there would be any friendship in the future. Since the two were not willing to make friends, there was no need to force them.

"These two young men are from the powerful family at first sight. How could you poor people be able to get up to you?" A smug voice came from behind. Everyone waved their hands and saw a man wearing brocade clothes, jade belts, and a playboy. There were three or five servants around him, and they were very pompous.

The playboy's young master seemed to have not seen the expressions of everyone present, and pointed to Rong Yang proudly and said, "This young master is wearing a tribute, and you will know that he has an extraordinary identity at first glance. In the next year, Jingcheng, a native of Qingzhou. His grandfather is the Minister of Works, who are the two young masters?"

Mu Qingyi looked down at Rong Yang. Although Rong Yang's clothes were inconspicuous, wasn't the slightest lining exposed outside the tribute that was just delivered to the capital last winter?

After being exposed, Rong Yang was also a little angry and embarrassed. He glanced at the young master indifferently and said, "Since Young Master Nian is the grandson of the Minister of Works, how could he not know us?"

The playboy choked and smiled awkwardly: "I have just come from Qingzhou and I have never met two of you. Why not give it to my friend? How about I invite you to drink with you?"

Mu Qingyi smiled faintly and said, "No need, Young Master Nian has this time, so why not go back to review the book well. I heard that Mr. Nian has high expectations for the Young Master this year."

Young Master Nian was happy, "Young Master really knows my grandfather?"

Mu Qingyi said: "I have a high position in Shangshu, how dare I not recognize him?"

Hearing her say this, the young master suddenly became proud that year and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to be a bad gift for the exam? How about it, what if the two young masters go to have a drink with me? At that time... I will also let you take care of you?"

Mu Qingyi's phoenix eyes flashed slightly and she laughed in a low voice: "Young Master Nian is so confident that I admire you very much. It's a pity... I'm very uneasy. I still have to go back and review it more."

Looking at the handsome and delicate face of the young man in white in front of him, the young master couldn't help but flash a little enthusiasm in his eyes that year, and he smiled and said, "Little brother, don't worry, since you are my friend, I will naturally guarantee you..."

"Young Master!" The young master quickly coughed and reminded him.

That year, the young master was stunned, then suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Young brother is right. You shouldn't be distracted before taking the exam. When the younger brother goes to high school, we will drink and have fun." After that, he hurriedly left with the people.

After the young master left that year, no one came to talk to the two of them again. Most of these scholars had ordinary families, and at this time they had some complicated knots about these children from high schools. Moreover, the two of them deliberately hid their identities and refused their invitations. In the eyes of these people, they inevitably felt that these two people were not as good as their own identities.

Mu Qingyi's face turned cold as water, and she said lightly: "Go back and ask someone to check Nian Shaojun." The Minister of Works, Mu Qingyi was not very impressed. It was directly a taciturn old man, but the old man's grandson was a little too lively.

"What do you mean?" Rong Yang was stunned. He heard some of the words of the young master that year just now, and was shocked. Even though he had not participated in much government affairs, he still knew the seriousness of some scientific corruption cases.

Mu Qingyi remained calm and pondered for a moment. Mu Qingyi raised her eyes and looked at Rong Yang with a smile and said, "Are you interested in going to the scene to try?"

"Me?" Rong Yang said in surprise.

Mu Qingyi nodded. Rong Yang hesitated for a moment, "This...is good? Never..." No one in the royal family has ever been to take the exam. Not to mention the royal family, even ordinary royal family rarely attends the reliable ones. Children of the royal family can usually skip the imperial examination and go directly to the court to become officials.

Mu Qingyi said: "You do not have a fixed position yet. If you can get a good ranking, it will be more convenient to become an official in the future. Of course, you are a prince, so it is okay not to participate in the imperial examination. In addition... I plan to report to Your Majesty and gradually abolish the system of aristocrats' recommendations. At that time..."

Rong Yang was stunned and a little excited for a moment, "If I get the ranking, will it be..." The royal children are different from ordinary court officials. They almost never can hold any real power in person unless they win over a large number of officials who hold real power. For example, the positions of the ministers of various departments, the prime ministers, and the generals among military generals, no matter how talented you are, they will never belong to you.

Mu Qingyi smiled and said, "If you have the ability, the position of Shangshu Prime Minister may not be impossible."

After being happy, Rong Yang calmed down and slowly recalled Mu Qingyi's remaining words, and suddenly became stiff. Abolishing the nobles' recommendation of officials was equivalent to cutting off the children of the powerful and powerful families' path to becoming an official. This was definitely an offensive thing. Mu Xiang told him about this matter now...what did he want to do?!

Mu Qingyi's smile was like spring breeze, "Prince An might as well work hard to set an example for the powerful and noble children of the imperial city? If you can pass the first exam, I would like to ask Your Majesty to appoint you as Minister of War, how about?"

The Minister of War, Rong Yang's eyes lit up. It was a real power position. It was different from his current jobs with others or waiting for the emperor to give him a job like his father. But... "I will be beaten to death by the powerful people in the capital."

"Don't be afraid, you are my student, I will send guards to protect you secretly." Mu Qingyi said with a smile.

"Can I say no?" Rong Yang hesitated.

Mu Qingyi nodded and said, "Of course, I have given someone else the position of the Minister of War. I heard that the prince of the imperial uncle's family seems to be good at reading poetry and books since he was a child. Maybe he can still win the top scorer at that time."

"Mu Xiang..." Rong Yang looked at the person in front of him with a bitter face. You are trying to force me to death, "Teacher..."

Mu Qingyi patted his shoulder kindly and said with a smile: "Think carefully, don't be afraid, Your Majesty, and your father will support you."

"Young Master." Huo Shu hurried in, lowered her head and whispered a few words in Mu Qingyi's ear. Mu Qingyi smiled faintly, looked at Rong Yang who was still dazed and smiled, "I'll go back in advance. Go back and think about it carefully?"

"Yes." Rong Yang said depressedly. No wonder his father always said that Mu Xiang was cunning. If he didn't swallow such a big piece of fat bait, he would feel particularly guilty. But if he swallowed it, he would probably be choked to death... Go back and ask his father before talking...
