They didn't come to cause trouble, and Yun Zichu didn't bother to care about them. Spending time with his beloved wife was the most important thing in life.

More than half a month later, the examination results were released, and Yun Zichu got the chance to take the imperial examination without any surprise.

But in the palace examination, he tempered his sharpness and performed above average. He could make people remember him as a person, but he did not become the focus.

The water in the capital city is too deep, and it is never a good thing to show off one's talents when one is still young.

If you are the first to shoot, without the support of your family, moderation is the best way to survive.

What's more, now that the princes of the empire are all grown up, the fight for the rightful heir in the court is filled with smoke, and if people pay too much attention to him, he may die faster.

In the imperial examination hall, the emperor was selected. Yun Zichu did not get into the first or third place, but he ranked first in the second place.

This result cannot be said to be amazing, but it is not bad either.

Of course, for him, who was the most famous talent in Dongzhou back then, it was indeed a bit unsatisfactory.

Yun Ziyuan and Lin Sui were secretly jealous and ridiculed.

…

After the imperial examination, Yun Zichu received the imperial decree from the Hanlin Academy and returned home.

He didn't get into the first grade, so he didn't have to ride a horse and parade through the streets.

As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw his wife standing at the door, with a veil on her face and her phoenix eyes looking at him with a gentle smile.

Yun Zichu stepped forward and suddenly hesitated. He pursed his lips and said with shame, "Shanshan, I didn't get into the first grade."

Zhen Shan smiled softly, pulled him into the room, and poured him a cup of tea.

"You didn't get in, or you didn't want to get in."

Yun Zi was startled for a moment, then smiled tenderly, she always understood him best.

"It's nice. It's not eye-catching and won't make people ignore it."

Yun Zichu held her hand and said, "I just didn't make it into the top three, so I can't give you enough glory."

"How many high-ranking officials in the past dynasties were from the top three of the First Class?" Zhen Shan raised her eyebrows slightly, "And, I don't want you to go riding a horse and parade through the streets? Although you are a bit stupid, but this is yours

I also have a troubled face, and I don’t want to end up with a lot of love rivals all over the capital for nothing.”

Yun Zichu's eyebrows were gentle, "I only want a kind person."

"How dare you try with another woman?"

"Don't dare."

"Okay, you take a rest first, and I'm going to write a letter to my mother. She will be very happy to know that you have been awarded the official position."

"Okay, help me say hello to mother."

"knew."

Yun Zichu looked at his wife's beautiful back, and his heart swelled.

With her in this life, what more could I ask for?

Why would he look at other women again?

However, just because Yun Zichu didn't offend peach blossoms, it doesn't mean that bad peach blossoms won't offend him.

In the blink of an eye, another three years passed, and Yun Zichu rose step by step from the rank of "Shujishi" in the Hanlin Academy since he was a child. By chance, he helped the Minister of Punishment solve a case of theft of official silver, and once again entered the eyes of the emperor. Within a few days, he

He was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment to serve as a secretary.

It seems that his official position has been lowered and he has been demoted, but everyone knows that this demotion is better than being promoted in the Hanlin Academy.

The position in the Ministry of Justice has real power and is a real official position. As long as Yun Zichu has the ability, he will have unlimited future if he moves up.

It just so happened that what Yun Zichu lacked the most was talent. In just two years, he went from being a ninth-rank clerk to a fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Justice, becoming a new noble in the court.

Since he had no family ties behind him, the emperor felt safe and relied on him, and the princes all wanted to win over him.

On the surface, Yun Zichu looks stern, cold, dull, and ignorant of human nature, but in reality he is more cunning than a fox, and no one can catch him by his tail.

He rejected all the princes and only served the emperor loyally, but he would not be resented by those princes. Instead, he made them value him more and want to win over him.

It's just that he was too comfortable in the officialdom, and with his handsome face, even though he had already said that he was married, he still couldn't stop the rotten peach blossoms one after another.

When his boss wanted to give him a woman as a concubine, he could refuse, but if the emperor's daughter or the princess of the empire fell in love with him, it would be a little more troublesome.

But Yun Zichu promised Zhen Shan that he would be his only wife in this life.

Therefore, even at the risk of being demoted by the emperor, he still refused the emperor's plan to point his daughter to him.

Even the princess was willing to be equal to his wife and hold the position of head wife, but Yun Zichu still found a way to refuse.

This also made everyone very curious, what kind of woman is the wife of this rookie in the court? How can he be so protective and loyal?

It's just that Zhen Shan doesn't go out the door or steps forward. No one has really seen her in the past three years.

Even the gatherings of powerful ladies in the capital were attended by Yun Zichu.

This mystery makes people more and more curious.

Especially the Princess Yao who had a crush on Yun Zichu. She ran to his house regardless of her identity to see what kind of woman she lost to?

Princess Yao saw it, but she was even more unwilling to do so.

Because she felt that Zhen Shan only had beauty and was just a vase, nothing compared to her golden branches and jade leaves. If Yun Zichu was willing to marry him, her career would be smooth.

From then on, Princess Yao began to target Zhen Shan everywhere.

It's just that her difficulties were either resolved by Zhen Shan without mercy, or she directly countered them.

When Yunzi saw his wife being bullied for the first time, he naturally refused, but Zhenshan did not allow him to take action.

This is a matter between women, men should not join in the fun.

Until one time, Princess Yao took things a step further and even sent people to administer slow poison to slowly torture her to death, which completely touched Yun Zichu's side.

He has not been a vegetarian in the past few years. He has cultivated a lot of strength and connections in the capital, and he knows everyone in the royal family well.

Yun Zichu took advantage of the internal fighting among the princes in the court and dragged Princess Yao into it, turning her into an abandoned child. She was disgusted by the emperor and ordered to make peace with the barbarians. She would never have a good life in her life.

Such methods are extremely cruel, but Yun Zichu will never allow anyone to harm his kindness.

Whoever dares to touch her will destroy everything they have.

After Princess Yao was dragged on the road to marriage in tears, their lives returned to peace again.

Two years later, relying on the emperor's appreciation, Yun Zichu took over the position of Minister of Punishment and became the youngest important minister of the Fengxia Empire, with unlimited fame.

And he only has one wife, and she has not been pregnant for many years, but he still dotes on her and loves her, and he has made countless women envious of her?

…

"Achu, what's wrong with you? I see you've been a little out of sorts lately."

Seeing that he was sitting a little silent, Zhen Shan asked worriedly.

When Yun Zichu heard her voice, his eyes softened, and he stretched out his hand to hold her, "It's okay, but His Majesty's health has been getting worse and worse recently, and the court has become more and more turbulent, so it takes a lot of effort."

Zhen Shan nodded, "Searching for a legitimate heir has always been a bloody storm. You must be careful. It's impossible to stay out of it, but try not to take sides..."

It's easier said than done.

Zhen Shan frowned, a little worried.

"Don't worry, I will take care of it."

"Well," she still believed in his ability, "By the way, I received a letter from Zhongzhou today that my mother is not in good health..."
