The news of Rongcheng being attacked was quickly spread to the capital. The officials in the court ran around and told each other, all of whom were smiling.

To be honest, when they decided to fight the Huns, they were actually very nervous. Not only was they beaten by the Huns and almost lost their power, but they were also because in everyone's impression, the Huns were all brave and warlike. It is said that half of their heads were cut off on the battlefield, bleeding all over the ground, and they also killed more than a dozen of Liu people all the way with red eyes to die.

No one knows whether these rumors are true or false, but every Liu native is deeply afraid of the Huns who almost destroyed the Liu Kingdom.

Under such rumors that they became more and more demonized, it seemed that they were unwilling to face the Huns in a direct contact with them.

It can be said that if the children of nobles in Beijing were not nearly assassinated during that period, it would not have caused the officials in the court who were still hesitating to be furious and were full of effort.

And now, Rongcheng has been taken back.

His Majesty did what the late emperor could not do.

In the cold winter, this news spread throughout Kyoto and still continued to extend outward.

In such joy of celebrating the world, their Emperor Majesty was leaning in the Prime Minister's Mansion, dragging Zhao Shuqing to make money.

"In order to attack the Huns, I used up most of the silver from the treasury. The Ministry of Revenue lost the Secretary of the State Council. Now I have a headache. If there is no entry, I can't even afford to raise flowers."

Zhao Shuqing frowned and frowned, holding her to chatter and talk about the emperor's blessings. The most skillful facial expression he has made now is frowning.

Although Zhao Shuqing is beautiful, she has been a paralyzed since she was a child. When she frowned, she would feel that she was angry. If the servants and maids saw it, they would be shocked and guessed anxiously that they might have done something wrong and angered him. But who made the person who frowned now facing him now? Wei Mingyan?

He also noticed Zhao Shuqing's frown, but laughed, "Shuqing, your eyebrows are too delicate. When you frown, you don't look angry, but you seem to be acting cute with someone."

Zhao Shuqing: "...Don't bother me again, I have no choice."

"What do you do when you read these books?"

Wei Mingyan pretended to have not heard anything, and picked up the books placed on the side and flipped through them, "You don't take the imperial examination, so these are useless."

Zhao Shuqing gritted his teeth, "Why don't I take the imperial examination?"

"You want to take the imperial examination?"

The emperor seemed very surprised, then looked at Zhao Shuqing with a pity and said, shaking his head and saying, "Will Shuqing become full of mouth in the future?"

Zhao Shuqing took back his book expressionlessly and kept brainwashing himself in his heart: This is ancient times, this is ancient times, that is the emperor and that is the emperor, so he did not turn against others directly.

He stopped talking, but Wei Mingyan still did not give up. He seemed to have thought about something and continued to instigate, "You can take the exam. If you really go to the palace examination, I will call you the top scorer."

"By the way, what kind of fame are you now?"

Seeing that Zhao Shuqing's face was not as cold as before when he talked about the serious matter, he replied with the book in his hand, "I will wait for the exam in three years."

Although he still had a headache about obscure knowledge, he was lucky to remember it and made a temporary attack. In addition, with the help of the prime minister's father, he had successfully passed the scholar exam.

Now, I'm waiting for the final exam in three years.

Although it was a bit far away, Zhao Shuqing was not in a hurry. Anyway, Jiuer had just passed her eleventh birthday this year, and there were seven years left, which was enough for him to pass the exam slowly.

I just thought that when I was going to kowtow to the ancient emperor in front of me, I had some toothache.

After Zhao Shuqing finished answering, the handsome emperor wearing a green cloak today calmed down. He picked up the books that Zhao Shuqing fell on the table and looked through for a while before getting up and saying goodbye.

Before leaving, Wei Mingyan stopped looking at the various flowers that were moved to the corridor because of the snow.

The weather is so cold now that these flowers will naturally fade long ago, but by the spring of the coming year, they will surely bloom again.

"Shuqing, look at this pot of flowers..."

Before he could say anything, Zhao Shuqing, who was still looking at the sky, was not sure what he was thinking, immediately stopped him, "This flower was not cold..."

The emperor paused and then joked, "I naturally know that these flowers have been moved to the corridor, so how could they get cold?"

After Zhao Shuqing nodded with satisfaction, he said, "This flowerpot doesn't look very good. How about I help you change it?"

Change to a new one?

He looked at the flower pot and saw that it was indeed a bit dirty. With the mentality of not taking advantage of it, he nodded, "thank you, thank you."

"No thanks, no thanks."

Wei Mingyan picked up the flower pot and left, leaving Zhao Shuqing alone to continue reading, without thinking that there was anything wrong.

The servant who had been serving him watched His Majesty leave, then he carefully went up the corridor and moved the flowers around the pot into the middle.

He was very skillful in his movements, and he didn't bother Zhao Shuqing who was reading from beginning to end.

Zhao Shuqing also had no time to think about how many pots he had lost.

Because of the great victory in Rongcheng, Your Majesty Long Yan was very happy and held an Enke. The original three-year examination was in advance, and all the scholars who received the news began to rush to Kyoto, and Zhao Shuqing was also preparing to start the examination.

Although he never forgets everything, he is still desperate to study in seclusion, which makes Prime Minister Zhao nod.

I just say that if you have good luck, you will get the best. If you have bad luck, you will come back next time.

Zhao Shuqing was still a little dissatisfied, but Prime Minister Zhao was quite happy. He was originally considered young when he took the exam at the age of Zhao Shuqing, not to mention how long he had just started to study. He had never taught him carefully before, and it was already an unexpected surprise that he could pass the provincial examination.

Now, this child goes to the exam, whether he wins or not, his age is not a bad thing.

This time he learned the lesson from the last time and did not spread the words he liked his son. After going to Lang's mansion, Fan Yuan seemed to have learned some truths. Once, he followed Lang Su to apologize.

Prime Minister Zhao and Mrs. Zhao are both of this age, so it is hard to bother with a child, especially Mrs. Zhao. When Fan Yuancai's biological mother was still there, she had a few encounters with the Qiu family. Although she had not had a close relationship, she had a deep affection for her.

When Qiu's father failed to defend the city, Rongcheng was destroyed. The emperor was furious and blamed Qiu. Then Lord Fan was also a man who did not care about his old love. He did not care about his father-in-law's care for him and asked him to take care of his old friends. Today, after Qiu's suicide, he quickly erased her name and married her second wife, saying that it was to have a mistress to take care of the children. But see what Fan Yuan had been taken care of for over the past ten years.

He was still younger at the beginning. If someone hadn't been preaching behind his back, how could he have understood the rumors that were not available in the market? Later, Prime Minister Zhao came to the door to quit the marriage. After seeing Lord Fan's reaction, he knew that he had also made accusation on this matter.

The two families no longer interacted. Mrs. Zhao was angry that her son was resigned from marriage and that kind of gossip was spread. Prime Minister Zhao pushed a child for the Fan family to bear all the infamy and was unwilling to join him.

Although both of them sighed a few times after Fan Yuancai came to apologize and did not bother with the child, they still remembered the hatred in their hearts.

Now, even though he was sure that his Qing'er could pass the imperial examination, Prime Minister Zhao still kept his mouth tightly closed and would not say a few more words when he was drunk, so as not to provoke anyone else.

He doesn't say it, but it doesn't mean that people outside don't say it.

Zhao Shuqing, who had suffered from a strange disease for ten years, saw no hope, and then suddenly recovered and learned everything very quickly. Finally, he suddenly fell silent. Some people paid attention to the son of the Prime Minister who was rumored to be a weird person.

After his legitimate sister Zhao Shujiu was elected as the queen of the Central Palace, she gained even more attention.

No one expected that these people would actually get through the exam all the way, but their grades were pretty good.

Because of Zhao Shuqing's rise, rumors about him in Beijing gradually changed.

What? Is there a brain problem? You have no brain problem. You can go take a scholar exam and show everyone.

Have a strange disease? Isn’t it said that a miracle doctor has cured people?

If it is not cured, how could it be so smooth to get through the exam?

As for the matter of resigning from the Zhao family and the Fan family, everyone said that because Fan Yuancai, a playboy, was ignorant, he made a big fuss when he heard some rumors. The prime minister angrily broke off the engagement. Since Fan Yuancai frequently went to and from the Prime Minister's Mansion with Lang Su, the rumors have become a little turbid.

Now Zhao Shuqing is also going to participate in the examination. Immediately, the reason why Fan Yuancai became close to the Prime Minister's Mansion seemed to have been found.

The second lady of the Fan family has already arrived, but she has not been engaged for a long time. Mrs. Fan has never revealed the verbal look for a good son-in-law in Beijing. I believe the two families have reunited long ago and the marriage is still the same.

I don’t know what happened to this rumor. When the Fan family discovered it, the rumors spread all over the capital.

It is said that the second son of Prime Minister Zhao's family was broken off from the engagement before, so he worked hard and got through the exam.

It is said that the second lady of the Fan family is noble in character. Although she was resigned from marriage by her father, she still regarded herself as the Zhao family's wife.

These words seem to be praising, but if the Fan family really agrees, there will be no one to marry a second lady of the Fan family except to marry Zhao Shuqing.

When Lord Fan learned about it, he really had an idea.

When he broke off the engagement, His Majesty ignored the government affairs. The Empress Dowager was a little dissatisfied with Prime Minister Zhao, the minister who was left by the previous emperor. The Zhao family's Dalang was released from the capital again, and his political achievements were neither good nor bad. Although he was the prime minister, there were many storms in the court. Who knew whether he would sit in this position in the future?

Because, after his eldest son was encouraged to make a big fuss at home, he seemed to be furious and pressed the person to beat him up with a board, but when Prime Minister Zhao came to the door to quit the bride, he had no intention of insisting.

After all, the youngest daughter has gradually grown up, with a beautiful appearance, which is more beautiful than her mother, and she has never lacks scheming and tricks. Lord Fan has the intention of sending her daughter to the Palace Boss.

Unfortunately, seeing His Majesty reaching age, the Empress Dowager passed away. As soon as the mourning period ended, His Majesty suddenly announced that the Zhao family daughter was the queen.

Prime Minister Zhao has recently been loved by His Majesty again. On the other hand, he has always been lukewarm. Although the Empress Dowager had no objection to him, she did not like to use him. When His Majesty was left, he could not remember him when His Majesty did not attend court, and he never looked at him when he attended court.

The Minister of Revenue was searched before, and Lord Fan was quite nervous because he was approaching him, so he did his best to deal with his Majesty's inquiry. As a result, no word of wind came from the palace from beginning to end.

Lord Fan is not afraid of any disturbances, but is just too dull. If he really leaves the court at such a dull age, the eldest son in the family will be useless, and the second son is underestimated. Will the Fan family decline in the future?

But if we marry again at this time, everything will be different.

He became the prime minister's in-laws. If the second son of the Zhao family passed the imperial examination, entered the palace examination and took the official position, his daughter would not lose money.

What's more, the rumors outside now are all beneficial to their Fan family. Isn't it beautiful to follow the flow at this time?

Lord Fan had a good plan, but unfortunately, she just revealed some whispers to her wife, and she whispered her back.

"The master only thinks that the Prime Minister is now loved and respected by His Majesty, but he has thought that no matter how much he loves, he is only His Majesty's minister. The master can see clearly what our daughter looks like. If he is sent to the palace and has one or two princes, our Fan family will be a royal relative in the future."

Mrs. Fan is still favored at this age, and she relies on her beautiful appearance. No matter what happens, she tells Mr. Fan well and never loses her temper. Even if she feels uncomfortable when she hears it, she still gently continues, "How can she go on the marriage after leaving the bride as if nothing happened? I have offended the Zhao family before. Even if we propose marriage again, they may not agree. Instead, they want to make people laugh at us for sending our daughter to the door."

Lord Fan was still a little hesitant, "But I had just left the Prime Minister's Mansion before, but I didn't see anything the Prime Minister said."

"At such a young age, even if the Prime Minister doesn't like it, he will naturally not reveal it. Otherwise, if it spreads it, wouldn't it mean that he is narrow-minded?"

While secretly hating her stepson in her heart, Mrs. Fan advised, "We specially invited the nanny who retired from the palace to teach her daughter. Now, whether it is appearance, figure, or piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is far better than the noble girl in the capital. If she enters the palace, she will always win a little favor from His Majesty..."

Although she had given birth to a son and a daughter, her face was still beautiful. Even if there were a few wrinkles on the corners of her eyes, she did not hide her beauty at all. As she spoke, she leaned into Lord Fan's arms and said coquettishly, "Don't you want to be the prince's foreign home? Maybe, you can think about that in the future..."

Mrs. Fan stretched out her slender jade fingers and pointed to it, her eyes full of delicacy.

The beauty was in her arms and was painted with a big cake. Only then did Lord Fan completely let go of the idea of ​​continuing to marry the Prime Minister's Mansion, and hugged Mrs. Fan and turned the rain.
To be continued...
