He memorized them all. Yun Shang was stunned. These words were easy to say, but the hard work involved was hard to imagine. Moreover, it had only been four or five days since Queen Hua disappeared.
Empress Hua laughed heartily: "I tried my tone and movements countless times in the palace. The first time I wore a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, it really overwhelmed me. It was too heavy. It's just that
I thought, if I don't dress like this, I won't be able to suppress those monsters, so I have to do this."
Yun Shang also laughed when he heard this: "It was only after the mother-in-law that I bluffed Chang'er. I thought the mother-in-law had recovered her memory."
"Some things should be resolved decisively. My amnesia is a fact. This time they just want to use it to say that I am pretending to be a queen. If I don't do this today and let them think that I have restored my memory, maybe,
Next time, you will have to wonder if the prince is your majesty's child." Empress Hua lowered her head and touched Bao'er's earlobe and said calmly.
After a long while, he raised his head again: "You too, if you don't want some things to happen, you should let everyone know your attitude earlier. Of course, you must also let everyone know that you are not good.
Only when you make them afraid will they restrain themselves a little."
Yun Shang was startled for a moment, then she understood what Empress Hua was going to say, and she quickly responded: "Yes, I understand, and I am already making preparations."
Empress Hua smiled: "That's good."
After a pause, he said softly, as if mumbling to himself: "In three or four days, this year's imperial examination results will be released. After the results are released, there will be palace examinations. Nowadays, many official positions in the court are vacant. After the emergence of the number one scholar and the second best candidate,
, most likely they will stay in the court as officials. A few days ago, His Majesty was talking to me about a banquet that would be held in the palace. They, as well as hundreds of officials in the court, would be allowed to bring their families to the palace to attend the banquet.
, and there are no separate seats for men and women.”
After Yun Shang heard this, she fell silent and smiled bitterly in her heart. She was allowed to bring her family members into the palace to attend the banquet, and men and women would not sit separately. Xia Huanyu's purpose was really obvious, and she should really make arrangements.
"I feel that Your Highness does not need to rely on nepotism to consolidate the imperial court, and with the number of people in the harem and the dictatorship of the relatives, if another Su Qi accidentally appears at that time, the gain will outweigh the losses." Yun Shang responded softly.
Empress Hua raised her lips and smiled: "I think so too." After saying that, she stood up and said, "Come on, you are the birthday girl today, why are you not with the guests in the front yard? Ignore it.
I'm sorry, I'm going to rest in your yard for a while. I'm really exhausted."
Yun Shang responded quickly and watched Empress Hua walk away before turning around and returning to the garden.
On the stage, he sang "上 呀". Yun Chang sat on the main position, but his mind was always unable to concentrate, his brows frowned, and he thought about what Queen said in his mind.
"Where's the queen?" Luo Qingyan, who was beside her, turned around and asked softly next to Yun Shang's ear.
Yun Shang smiled and responded: "We went to Nanyuan. She said that the phoenix robe and crown she was wearing was too heavy. She went to Nanyuan to rest for a while and asked us not to pay attention to her."
Luo Qingyan nodded, stretched out his hand, and held Yun Shang's hand.
Yun Shang's heart trembled suddenly, and her frown suddenly relaxed. What was she worried about? Since she had chosen the man next to her to be her husband, she would definitely not allow them to fight each other in this life.
Sometimes he interferes with other people. No one can do it, no matter who wants to do this, even if that person is Luo Qingyan's father.
As soon as Yun Shang's birthday passed, the rankings for the autumn exams were posted.
The first place is called Du Houjun, a native of Lucheng.
The second place is called Li Ye, from Cangzhou.
The third name is Huakang, a native of Siyang.
Next, we wait for the palace examination. Once the palace examination is over, the winner will be ranked number one and second, and we will know for ourselves.
"The first and third places were arranged by me, but the second place was not." Luo Qingyan already knew the rankings the day before the list was announced. When Yun Shang asked, he said calmly.
Yun Shang was silent for a moment, rolled up the book in his hand, and then whispered: "Could it be that person?"
Luo Qingyan smiled, and without taking his eyes off the book in his hand for a moment, he only responded lightly: "Yes, so what, no, why? Isn't there still a palace examination?"
Yun Shang curled his lips and wanted to say that since he was able to get second place in the exam, he must not be an ordinary person. Most of the time, the palace examination is just a formality. If nothing goes wrong in the palace examination, this ranking will basically be
Even if it's settled.
Just looking at Luo Qingyan's confident look, I guess she had already made arrangements and Luo Qingyan was not in a hurry, so why should she be anxious.
While the two were talking, Qin Yi walked in, handed a note to Yun Shang, and then retreated.
Yun Shang was startled, unfolded the note and looked at it. After a moment of silence, he crumpled the note and put it into his sleeve.
Luo Qingyan saw Yun Shang's movements clearly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked softly: "What happened?"
Hearing this, Yun Shang just shook her head slightly, "It's nothing."
Yun Shang said it was nothing, and Luo Qingyan stopped asking. He lowered his head and turned a page of the book before saying softly: "Liu Yinfeng still has more than ten days to get to Liu Cang, and I don't know what Liu Cang's situation is now.
how."
Hearing this, Yun Shang thought for a moment before replying: "Since Xia Houjing is so concerned about disaster relief funds and materials, even if he takes any action, he will definitely wait for Liu Yinfeng to transport everything before making any plans.
, we don’t have to worry.”
Luo Qingyan nodded gently: "In about ten days, the Queen's Palace will be closed. If you have time, you can go into the palace to help."
Yun Shang responded softly and stood up: "It's getting late, let's take a rest."
The palace examination was held three days later, but the result was not as expected by Yun Shang. The top three did not change at all, with Du Houjun as the top pick, Li Ye as the second pick, and Huakang as the top pick.
The palace also sent people to the prince's residence to inform him. Two days later, a palace banquet was held in the palace.
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and raised her eyes to look at Qin Yi, "Has Li Qianmo been to the house in the past few days?"
Qin Yi shook her head, glanced at Yun Shang tentatively, and then asked softly: "What does the Crown Princess want to tell Mr. Li? How about I send someone to invite Mr. Li to come into the house?"
"No need." Yun Shang quickly opened his mouth to stop him, and smiled before replying: "I haven't been here before. Just ask the secret guard to look for Li Qianmo tonight and ask him to write a memorial and submit it to His Majesty.
The content of the fold is..."
Yun Shang hooked her fingers and asked Qin Yi to bend down and whisper in her ear.
Qinyi responded quickly, and then Yun Shang said again: "Let the secret guard ask Li Qianmo, if we want to do what I said, what do we need to prepare so as not to reveal the truth? He is now a member of the Ministry of Punishment
Minister, I am very good at these things."
As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, she heard footsteps coming from outside, and the door curtain was opened. Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked over, and saw Ning Qian walking in.
Yun Shang looked behind her, but she didn't see Wang Jinhuan. She couldn't help being a little surprised, and raised her eyebrows and said, "Where is Wang Jinhuan?"
Ning Qian glared at Yun Shang and then said: "My Mingfeng Pavilion will open its doors tomorrow. Knowing that the Crown Princess cannot come to congratulate her, I came here specifically to say a word to the Crown Princess."
Yun Shang never thought that Ning Qian would still be thinking about it even though she was pregnant, so his eyes fell on her belly that had not yet shown her pregnancy, and she frowned, "Wang Jinhuan allows you to do this?"
Ning Qian looked at Yun Shang strangely: "Why do I need other people's permission for what I want to do?"
Yun Shang thought for a while, this was also Ning Qian's temperament, but...
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Ning Qian's face. Ning Qian had lost some weight recently, and she was very upset when she heard that she was unhappy. Yun Shang's voice was a little softer: "I know that you have not agreed to marry Wang Jinhuan, and I also know that you are worried.
What is it? Maybe you understand Wang Shangshu and Mrs. Wang’s temperament better than I do. Your worries are not unreasonable. Maybe I think too well. But since you are mine, I will definitely not let you suffer.
Wronged."
Yun Shang thought for a while and then said: "Your previous experience in Ningguo Imperial City was just staying in a brothel, but no one knew about the Xia Kingdom Palace, and no one in Ningguo knew that you were mine. Ningguo Chao
Above the hall, besides Liu Qiyan, there is another person who plays a very important role, and that is my grandfather Xiao Yuanshan."
Ning Qian didn't understand why Yun Shang said this, and looked at Yun Shang strangely, but Yun Shang didn't care, and continued: "He is now the Taifu, and my mother and concubine are very loved by my father.
Both the Minister and Mrs. Wang are aware of current affairs. I have arranged an identity for you, that is, the adopted daughter of my grandfather. I have written to my grandfather and asked him to tell him that you have saved his life, so I will
You take her as your adopted daughter."
Seeing the surprised look on Ning Qian's face, Yun Shangcai quickly said: "You have been training with me before, and you are also very familiar with my grandfather, and he treats you very well. Although you were once in a brothel,
"It's just that as we all know, you are a poor man. If you had my grandfather's protection, Wang Shangshu and Mrs. Wang would be happy before it was too late, and they would definitely not say anything."
Ning Qian was silent for a long time before she opened her mouth, her voice a little hoarse, "Thank you, Master, for your kindness."
Yun Shang reached out and held Ning Qian's hand, "You and I love each other as sisters. I hope you can be happy. I am willing to let you marry Wang Jinhuan. What matters most is that he treats you sincerely. Now his father
Although Mom may be a little biased against you, if your grandfather recognizes you as his adopted daughter, your status is no worse than any other noble daughter, and your appearance and talents are no worse than anyone else, so they will not embarrass you. Even if they embarrass you
, Let me put it bluntly, his parents are not young anymore. It will be Wang Jinhuan who will live with you by then. Some things can be tolerated and tolerated. "
Ning Qian bit her lip, and after a while she softly replied: "I understand, thank you, Master." (To be continued)
