Chapter 438: Mission Zero Four Three
Xiao Rong's disgust for the brainless eldest princess is beyond words. Many smart people feel the intention and become cold to the eldest princess.
Logically speaking, as the emperor's only sister, the eldest princess must have given her makeup a lot for her wedding. As a result, Xiao Ying did not even issue an imperial decree for marriage, and only the queen's imperial decree for marriage can be said to be obviously disliked by the eldest princess and her husband Ning Xuantian.
Ning Xuantian, who was originally excited to marry a noble princess, was also splashed with cold water on his head.
Although Ning Xuantian was arrogant, he was not a fool. He had been in this ancient society for several years and deeply realized the power of the imperial power. Naturally, he intended to let his talents enter the emperor's eyes and thus show his skills. He was not willing to be a famous and unpowered prince of Qi.
The Duke of Qi was the first to be relegated to the third generation. Ning Xuantian's cheap father had already inherited the third generation of titles. Then Ning Xuantian would be relegated to the title. As for how many times he was surrendered, it was all up to the emperor's wishes.
Although Ning Xuantian's cheap father is still a Duke, the unreliable descendants of the Duke of Qi's mansion have long been squeezed out of the power center circle in Kyoto. With only a title, there is no real power. It can be said that Ning Xuantian can defeat other brothers and become the princess, one because he is indeed talented, and the other because he has the ability to coax the eldest princess into obedience. Duke Qi hopes that Ning Xuantian will lead the Duke of Qi's mansion to re-enter the power center.
Now the Lord Shang is the Lord Shang, but why was the eldest princess who was once a saint and was rejected by the emperor?
The Duke of Qi was a little sad and bleak, and Ning Xuantian felt uncomfortable, but how could he rely on women to take power as a time traveler? So when Duke of Qi took his anger a little at the eldest princess, Ning Xuantian said: "Father, the princess didn't do it on purpose. Besides, with my ability, he can stand up even without relying on the princess."
Duke Qi looked at his confident son and sighed: "Where is that easy? Sometimes there is no connection to the people, and even if you have talent, you will not get the opportunity to display it. Now that the connections in the military in the mansion are almost completely broken, even if you donate an official to you, you will be a fifth-rank official with no authority, and your chances of promotion are very slim unless..."
Ning Xuantian asked: "Unless what?"
Duke Qi continued: "Unless you can be admitted to the imperial examination, now in a peaceful and prosperous era, the best is to be admitted to the imperial examination. No nobles who donate officials can get real power and cannot be promoted."
Ning Xuantian pondered that if an ordinary family was an ordinary family, they might not be able to go to the fifth rank position even if they were admitted to the imperial examination. However, if the Duke of Qi's mansion was defeated, the lean camel was bigger than a horse, and he could go to the fifth rank. If he was admitted to the imperial examination, he would use the relatives and connections of the Duke of Qi's mansion, it would be much easier to climb up than ordinary people.
The question now is whether he can be admitted to the imperial examination?
Ning Xuantian was very confident and felt that he was a time traveler from a thousand years later, familiar with history, and cultural knowledge such as poetry, songs and essays after the Daqian Dynasty. How could he not be as good as the ancients who did not have golden fingers in this era?
So he was fair to Qi Guo: "Father, please help me hire a teacher who is good at the imperial examination! I plan to take the imperial examination, which is just in time for the imperial examination three years later."
Seeing that Ning Xuantian was indeed confident, Duke Qi also felt hope in his heart and agreed repeatedly.

After the eldest princess married into the Duke of Qi's mansion, she lived a mess and often ran into the palace to complain to the queen.
Originally, she wanted to complain to Xiao Huang, but Xiao Huang was unwilling to see her at all, so she could only complain to the queen, her sister-in-law.
In order to live a good life with Ning Xuantian, the eldest princess pushed the eldest princess's mansion that he should have, moved into the Duke of Qi's mansion, and faced Ning Xuantian's beloved concubine in the room.
At first, the beloved concubines were afraid of the identity of the eldest princess and did not dare to be arrogant. As a result, the eldest princess's mind was in trouble. In order to show her magnanimity, she lowered her identity and said to her sister to her concubine. The concubines saw through her brainless nature and then made her suffer so much that she could not say anything.
At first, in order to show her magnanimity in front of Ning Xuantian, she showed her deep affection with other women of Ning Xuantian. Later, she was tortured by her concubine and complained to Ning Xuantian. Of course, Ning Xuantian felt that she was inconsistent with her and now she showed her true jealousy.
If she hadn't been able to hold on with a princess, she would have been tortured to death by her concubine.
The most dramatic among the concubines was the Peony sister who once said in front of Xiao Rong that she treated her as her sister's untainted mud. She was slandered by this Peony sister many times before she could react.
Now she finally knew why the emperor said before the marriage that Ning Xuantian was just a big kang. She, the eldest princess, dared to spoil her concubine and destroy her wife even if she married him.
The eldest princess is so regretful now that the queen is annoyed by her crying. When Xiao Ying came to Fengqi Palace to see the eldest princess and the third prince, he mentioned this: "Do you let the eldest princess and the prince consort separate?"
Xiao Ying sneered: "You said Heli, right? The emperor may not be willing to be with Ning Xuantian and Heli. She may not appreciate your kindness!"
Heli's suggestion was indeed made by the queen to Xiao Rong without authorization. She did not ask the eldest princess, but in her opinion, the eldest princess often came to her to cry and tell her how hard she lived for the princess to spoil her concubine and destroy her wife. As long as she could divorce, the eldest princess would definitely be willing. Anyway, the princess would not have to worry about marrying.
However, Xiao Ying said so, and the queen couldn't say anything else. She thought about the matter of mentioning Heli when the eldest princess entered the palace next time.
As a result, the eldest princess came to the palace to cry to the queen and told her that she had a hard time. Before the queen could suggest her to live with her, the eldest princess said first: "Sister-in-law, please advise the emperor brother to give him a powerful official to the prince-consort. In this way, the palace will definitely suppress those bitches in the prince-consort!"
Queen: "..." There is no need to ask questions. The eldest princess has a difficult life and has to ask for an official position for the prince-consort. It is obvious that she is devoted to the prince-consort. She proposed to divorce and would definitely offend the eldest princess who is in a brain.
The queen knew that His Majesty did not like the eldest princess and the prince-consort, so she was reluctant to help the eldest princess do this thankless thing, so she found an excuse to refuse.
The eldest princess immediately pulled her face down and stood up suddenly and said, "I want to see the emperor brother! I don't believe that the emperor brother will really ignore me!"
The queen pretended to stop her for a few times, then pretended not to stop her, and let the eldest princess go to the imperial study room.

Xiao Ying was correcting the memorial in the imperial study room, and then he heard a noise outside. He swept his spiritual sense and found that it was the original owner's sister who was making a frown outside. He couldn't help but frown and instructed Liu An: "Let the eldest princess come in!"
Liu An went out to meet Princess Xuan.
After the eldest princess came in, she bowed to Xiao Ying perfunctorily, and then hurriedly stood up and took a few steps forward: "Brother Emperor, please help Brother Xuantian! He is studying hard at home every day just to take the imperial examination. Brother Emperor, you can directly give Brother Xuantian the Jinshi and let him become an official! Brother Xuantian is so talented, why bother to compete for the quota with poor families?"
Xiao Ying said coldly: "Since he is talented, so afraid of failing the imperial examination?"
The eldest princess said unhappily: "But the environment in the imperial examination is so bad, how much suffering!"
Xiao Ying said coldly: "Don't be an official if you are afraid of suffering! A big man will rely on women to take office, so he won't feel embarrassed?"
The eldest princess hurriedly explained: "It has nothing to do with Brother Xuantian. I came to find the emperor's brother myself, and Brother Xuantian didn't know about it."
Xiao Ying said lightly: "Since the prince consort doesn't know, then go back! I guess the prince consort is talented and capable, and wants to become an official by himself. If you ask me to give him an official position, he will bear the bad reputation of relying on women to become an official in the future, and I am afraid he will blame you."
When the eldest princess heard that she might have done something bad, she made the prince-consort blame her, she immediately shut up and stopped asking for an official position and left obediently.
When Ning Xuantian returned to the Duke of Qi's mansion, he heard that the eldest princess was back, so he hurried to see her. He first asked about her well-being and made the person happy, and then seemed to accidentally inquire about the result after the eldest princess entered the palace.
Then the eldest princess said as if she was asking for credit: "I know that Brother Xuantian is a capable person. I am worried that if I ask the emperor to ask for an official position for you, you will be given a bad reputation, so I didn't ask the emperor to give him an official position."
It was Ning Xuantian who felt numb and complained in his heart when he read the Four Books and Five Classics, and then he hinted that the eldest princess went to the palace to ask for a Jinshi for him. Unexpectedly, he got such a result. Looking at the eldest princess's silly and sweet look of asking for praise, he almost spit out his old blood: "Is this woman a fool?"
Ning Xuantian was embarrassed to tell his wife who admired him, and could only grit his teeth and continue to go into the study to memorize the thick books. If he didn't memorize these books, he would be afraid that he would not even pass the exam for Tongsheng.
Xiao Ying, who was in a good mood in the imperial study, was looking at the information about a juren named Cao Ling, who was investigating in Dongshan County, which the secret guards found. He was basically sure that this juren Cao was the male protagonist in the original work.
Let’s look at the heroine who has exposed her stepmother’s true face in front of the Marquis of Ningyuan. The Marquis of Ningyuan said to the public that the Marquis of Ningyuan was seriously ill, but in fact he was under house arrest. The entire Marquis of Ningyuan was under the control of the eldest daughter Gu Qingzi. The large Marquis of the Marquis of Ningyuan was in order. Who would not praise the eldest daughter of Ningyuan Marquis of Ningyuan?
In the exam almost two years later, Cao Ling, who is already a juren, should go to Beijing to take the exam.
Xiao Ying still admires this male lead Cao Ling, who was a mature and steady professor before the time travel. At least he is not a time travel man like Ning Xuantian, who was probably a love-breaking and unemployed person before the time travel. After the time travel, he is arrogant and arrogant.
