The spring breeze blew the peach pink skirt on Wang Zhixuan's body, and the strands of hair on her temples and forehead floated, adding a bit of decisive beauty to her already stunning facial features.

The peach blossom is delicate, but has the character of a cold plum... Even Wang Zhixuan's biological brother Wang Duanhan couldn't help but fall in love with his sister.

She has such beauty, so she doesn't need to have such talent. However, Wang Zhiyao is not only talented, beautiful, and even resourceful, but decisive and decisive.

"Brother, there is no need to rely on father for this matter."

"Then what do you think we should do? We can't let my uncle live outside all the time."

Wang Duanhan just saw Wang Zhixuan take out the banknotes to settle his uncles, and asked: "Where did you get so much money?"

"My father is unreliable. Could it be that I can't save some private money?" Wang Zhixuan was unwilling to talk about money and said: "Although the evidence is in the hands of my uncle, the chief minister is now powerful. If he rashly goes to the Yamen to sue the chief minister, there will be no results.

After all, His Majesty approved this case. Even if His Majesty is concealed and deceived by the Chief Minister, it is difficult to change the imperial edict."

"You are right. No one dares to say that the emperor is wrong. Now the six yamen and cabinet bachelors have not corrected your majesty's courage."

Contempt flashed in Wang Duanhan's eyes, and he stood like a pine tree and said loudly: "They have all forgotten the integrity of scholars and are blindly flattering."

"It's really not good when officialdom becomes popular, so we need stalwart young heroes like my brother."

"If I go to high school this year, I will be an unyielding and loyal minister to provide safety to the people and repay the emperor's favor."

"I believe my brother will definitely go to high school."

Wang Zhixuan never doubted that Wang Duanhan would fail the exam, even though Wang Duanhan did not have the careful guidance of Wang Yixin in his previous life. He had a wide network of contacts and knew the test questions. With Wang Duanhan's literary talent, how could he fail, "Brother should take a longer view. In the provincial examination,

My goal is to pass the examination, the palace examination, and get three yuan."

She told her uncle that two of the three questions in the imperial examination were correct, so Wang Duanhan would not be mean-spirited.

Wang Duanhan has thought over several test questions repeatedly. Every article is really carefully crafted, like a cluster of flowers.

"My sister wants me to report my grandfather's grievances to the emperor during the imperial examination?"

"Not good." Wang Zhixuan thought about it carefully and shook his head: "The emperor's temperament is not easy to grasp. If you talk too much at the Qionglin Banquet, the emperor thinks that your brother is filial. It's better. What if he thinks that your brother is someone else?

If you have a plan, you may not continue to investigate. After all, this matter concerns the chief minister, the head of hundreds of officials."

"This won't work, that won't work either. When can we put an end to the injustice done to my grandfather and his family?"

"First, let uncle get close to Your Majesty..."

After all, Wang Zhixuan is a person who has lived through two lives. She thinks relatively comprehensively and does not regard people in this world as idiots. "I said that brother, don't worry about the affairs of your grandfather's family. You just study hard. Before the imperial examination,

My mother will definitely become the eldest daughter of a meritorious official. The status of an official slave is too insulting to my kind and beautiful mother."

"I feel uneasy that I can't help."

"What are you worried about? My eldest uncle will still need to help the young number one scholar in the future. Brother, studying for the imperial examination is the right way. Only after entering the Hanlin Academy can I have the capital to protect my mother and prosper my grandfather's family."

"My sister has to worry about everything. I feel bad."

"It's not hard."

Wang Zhixuan raised her stunning face, her eyes were as bright as morning stars and her lips were like the most delicate cherry blossom petals, soft and fragrant. As long as she could be a legitimate legitimate daughter, it didn't matter what kind of hard work she put in.

After three lifetimes, she no longer wants to be ridiculed by the world as a concubine or the daughter of a mistress.

This life is also her last chance.

Therefore, Wang Zhixuan is very cautious about this life and has put forward all the accumulation from the previous two lives.

Anyone who prevents her from becoming a legitimate daughter is her enemy.

The brother and sister were talking in the room. The cautious Wang Zhixuan did not leave any maids to serve her. She knew that Emperor Qianyuan had spies such as factory guards, but Wang Zhixuan did not believe that Emperor Qianyuan would arrange spies in the Wang family.

Under the cloister outside the window, a figure flashed past, but a breeze stirred by the corner of his clothes proved that he had been there before.

…

It is said that the factory guard spy who was brought into the Wang family because of the Jiang family will leave the Wang family with the Jiang family who has separated and separated. Originally, Dongchang also arranged this, but there is an extra Gu Sanshao who is always paying attention to the Wang family's movements... Dongchang's big stall

At the request of Eunuch Liu, taking advantage of the chaos in the Wang family, many newly trained spies were assigned to the Wang family.

The euphemistic name is to let the novices try their skills. In fact, Emperor Qianyuan will not care about the news about the Wang family except Gu Sanshao. It is too wasteful to send experienced spies. The newbies also have to arrange work, so it is better to leave it to the Wang family.

The secret reports about the Wang family reported by the spies were easily ignored by the stall owners. In the past, they reported them once every three months, but now this month, following Gu Sanshao's words recently, the stall owners decisively asked the spies to report back in three days.

Once, he naturally gained Gu Sanshao's favor, and Dongchang received 30% more money this year than last year.

The director of Dongchang lost his temper after being punished by Gu Sanshao. Naturally, everyone in Dongchang tried their best to facilitate Gu Sanshao without betraying Emperor Qianyuan.

Most of the eunuchs bullied the weak and feared the strong. Gu Sanshao was strong enough and threatening enough to win the trust and favor of Emperor Qianyuan. Naturally, Eunuch Liu and a group of other eunuchs in charge of rituals did not dare to compete with Gu Sanshao.

Even Eunuch Huai En was convinced.

Moreover, Third Young Master Gu has never ordered them to do anything difficult, and treats them... as if they are completely invisible. But think about it, who does Third Young Master Gu have eyes for?

Anyone who attracts Third Young Master Gu's attention will not end well.

Eunuch Liu and others eagerly hope that Gu Sanshao will never see them again.

"Send the secret report."

The stall owner handed a letter to his subordinates. There was no need to say to whom it was sent. Besides Gu Sanshao, which minister could get the news about Dongchang?

Seeing that his subordinates were sending information, the stall owner touched his bare chin and narrowed his triangular eyes, hiding his ruthlessness and philistineness. He just took a casual look... but he didn't expect to get shocking news.

The granddaughter of Master Yin, the former official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is actually the concubine of Fourth Master Wang?

Do they still want to overturn the verdict for their grandfather?

At that time, Mr. Yin was in the limelight. Because he failed to compete with the current chief minister to join the cabinet, he was criticized as a corrupt official. He took advantage of the convenience of being an official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs to form cliques and gangs, spread his minions, and benevolent to young officials.

He had evil intentions and deceived the emperor. In the end, he was reported and convicted by his current chief minister. Emperor Qianyuan was furious. He beheaded Master Yin in public, his whole family was banished to a lowly status, the women were made official slaves, and the men were sent into exile.

Will Wang Zhixuan's brother and sister face off against the chief assistant?

Are there any opportunities for Dongchang in this?

Third Young Master Gu only pays attention to the Wang family because of Miss Wang Qi. If Wang Zhixuan's biological mother turns over... I think Third Young Master Gu would not want to see it.

Today, when the emperor suddenly arrived at Mr. Yin's house, how could Dongchang not know that it was Mr. Gu who moved the emperor there?

The news was sent to the palace by Dongchang. Even now, Princess Heyue is still kneeling at the door of the Queen Mother's palace.

Princess Heyue is the Queen Mother's only biological daughter. How could the Queen Mother not feel sorry for her?

However, no matter how much she felt sorry for Princess Heyue, the Queen Mother had to let the emperor calm down.

Rather than letting the emperor calm down, it would be better to let Gu Sanshao calm down. When did the emperor ever care about Princess Heyue?

"Eunuch, what do you think about this?" The stall owner couldn't make up his mind and told Eunuch Liu, the director of the East Factory, about the matter.

Eunuch Liu's eyes also flashed with light. This was a good opportunity. Unfortunately...he took a sip of tea and only said one word, "Wait."

Waiting for Gu Sanshao's reaction.

Gu Sanshao eats meat, why can't they in Dongchang also drink soup?

Eunuch Liu finally returned to Beijing from Jiangnan and regained the trust of Emperor Qianyuan. At this time, he did not dare to compete with Gu Sanshao... It was better to wait and see.

The stall owner nodded and said, "I understand."

…

The secret report was sent to Gu Sanshao. He always loved to be clean. After bathing, he put on a long gown, and the wide collar exposed the lean muscles on his chest. His wheat-colored skin was glowing with the luster after bathing, and his black hair was scattered like ink.

He made a circle behind him and leaned lazily on the cushion. After he saw the words on the secret report clearly, Gu Tianze's face turned slightly red...

Ah Si was watching from the side, thinking that Miss Wang Qi must have said good things about the third young master, otherwise the always heroic third young master would not be so shy.

Gu Tianze read over what Xiao Qi had said word for word, feeling bursts of ecstasy in his heart, but he didn't want others to see it on his face, but he didn't know that he was already blushing at this time and took out a stack of secret reports.

The piece of paper that recorded Xiao Qi's words was folded and placed close to his body. He flicked the other pieces of paper casually and sneered: "They are all smart people."

"Third Young Master?"

"Being smart!"

Gu Tianze threw the secret report to Ah Si, closed his collar and lay down on the bed, with a hint of mockery between his eyebrows. Fourth Master Wang had become smarter and loved Xiao Qi, but why was Fourth Master Wang so sure that he, Gu Tianze, would

Can’t die a good death? Can’t live a long and prosperous life?

Why do you think he will make Xiao Qi a widow?

Gu Tianze understood Emperor Qianyuan better than anyone else. Just because he didn't want to fight before didn't mean he couldn't keep his wealth for the rest of his life.

"I heard that the Chief Minister intends to let the Minister of Rites be Ruge?"

"yes."

"If the Minister of Rites is to join the cabinet, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites may accept him, but the second assistant is determined to let Yin Boyi, the president of the Hanlin Academy, join the cabinet."

Gu Tianze narrowed his eyes slightly. Yin Boyi was very smart, very aware of current affairs, and knew how to make choices. At this time, the vacant bachelor's degree was not ranked high. It would be better to be the president of the Hanlin Academy than to join the cabinet... "Wang Si

Is your official position the fifth rank?"

"yes."

"Well." Gu Tianze closed his eyes, "He has been in the Hanlin Academy for several years, and it's time for him to move on."

Only if Wang Yixin's official position is promoted, will Gu Tianze be able to marry Xiao Qi.

"You mean to let Fourth Master Wang join the Ministry of Etiquette?"

"The Ministry of Etiquette is noble and leisurely. If Fourth Master Wang goes to the Ministry of Etiquette, he will have more free time..." Gu Tianze was not happy to see Fourth Master Wang idle and bored as he led Xiao Qi out to meet the famous young master, "Since he had an epiphany at the moment of life and death,

, should also be responsible for some major affairs of the government. The Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six departments. If he goes to the Ministry of Personnel to be responsible for selecting officials, he may be able to display his talents."

Ah Si couldn't figure out why he jumped to the official department again? He asked, "Do you need to give Miss Wang Qi a message about the Yin family's affairs?"

"I know well that if they don't make trouble, it will not be easy for the people in the court to move."

Wang Zhixuan will definitely not succeed. The emperor trusts his chief assistant more than the Yin family, which is in dire straits.

Gu Tianze rested his head on his arms and muttered: "The country and the world belong to the emperor. The emperor's happiness and anger determine the future, why don't they understand?"

Even if Wang Yixin doesn't like him anymore, as long as he still has the emperor's love, Fourth Master Wang can solve the problem with an imperial edict.

However, Gu Tianze didn't want his father-in-law to dislike him in the future, so it would be better to keep Fourth Master Wang busy.

"Third Young Master, I recently heard that Uncle Wang often goes in and out with the Third Prince's staff..."

"Um."

"Aren't you worried?"

"Isn't there also Fourth Master Wang?"

Gu Tianze could only move Erlang's legs leisurely. He only worried about Xiao Qi. As for the rest of the Wang family, why should he care?

Seeing that Ah Si looked a little embarrassed, Gu Tianze frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Dong Guogong just sent a message, saying that Marquis Changxin wants to marry Mrs. Jiang..."

"Ahem."

Gu Tianze's handsome face tightened and his index finger trembled involuntarily, "Marry Mrs. Jiang?"

"Yes. I heard that I also plan to recognize Miss Wang Qi as my adopted daughter."

“What a beautiful thought!”

Gu Tianze stood up, couldn't Chang Xinhou settle down a little? He asked irritably: "What did my father say?"

"The Duke wants to ask the Empress to invite ladies from the families of distinguished generals to the palace, so that Marquis Chang Xin can see..." Ah Si's head dropped lower and lower, "Maybe Marquis Chang Xin only has thoughts... about ladies from generals' families.

.”

Duke Dingguo returned to the palace and thought about it carefully. Since Mrs. Jiang could do it, it might be easier to find her among the ladies of the general family.

Sooner or later, Marquis Changxin will remarry his wife. Why not take this opportunity to change Marquis Changxin's mind.

"Does he want me to talk to the emperor?"

"The Duke of Guo didn't say that..."

Gu Tianze went out with his sword in hand. His stiff back meant that he was very angry. Duke Dingguo never said that, but he did so.

"Third Young Master, the Duke also loves you."

"uh-huh."

Ah Si sighed when he saw the third young master going to sword practice again. The Duke of Guo was always thinking about the masters of the Gu family. He clearly cared about the third young master the most, but he refused to say anything. The third young master was too proud and too stubborn. His only good temper was

Give it all to Miss Wang Qi.

The Duke of Guo is devoted to the family, but the third young master misunderstood.

Ah Si also couldn’t understand why the two father and son, who clearly cared about each other, had so many misunderstandings.

…

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Qianyuan was casually sipping tea, his eyes were deep and solemn, as if he was thinking about important matters.

There was a soup bowl in front of Emperor Qianyuan, filled with delicious gruel... The meat porridge exuded a delicious fragrance, but the fragrance could not attract Emperor Qianyuan... Eunuch Huai'en was standing beside him, bowing and liking meat porridge.

The person is Gu Sanshao.

It's so funny that Concubine Hui thought she could win over the emperor with meat porridge. Every time, Concubine Hui would wash her hands and make soup for the emperor. Unfortunately, Sanshao Gu doesn't like meat porridge very much these days.

Concubine Hui also had fewer opportunities to sleep with her.

No, Concubine Hui took the initiative to send meat porridge. She hoped that the emperor would not forget that there was someone waiting for him in the harem.

"Wynn."

"My slave is here."

Eunuch Huai En's body bowed deeper, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Emperor Qianyuan stared at the green tea floating in the teacup and said in a low voice, "I don't believe what Aze told me just now."

"...What does your majesty mean?" Eunuch Huai'en looked surprised. Could it be that the emperor was suspicious of Mr. Gu? How is that possible?

"He is hiding something from me!?"

Emperor Qianyuan showed his father's worries, "When my children grow up, they play tricks on me and hide it from me."

"It's not like you, your Majesty, will hide anything from Your Majesty." Eunuch Huai'en carefully tested Emperor Qianyuan.

Anyone who deceives Emperor Qianyuan will be punished mercilessly by Emperor Qianyuan, but Emperor Qianyuan 'doubts' why Gu Sanshao has a different flavor?

Eunuch Huai'en did not dare to add insult to injury easily. After all, Emperor Qianyuan had made exceptions for Third Young Master Gu too many times.

"I think Aze has someone in his heart."

"..."

"I am both happy and sad." Emperor Qianyuan continued to express his dissatisfaction to Eunuch Huai'en, "Aze didn't want to tell me that he was raised by me. He had someone in his heart, but he hid it from me... I used to be in vain

I'm worried about him. He's also understanding. Why doesn't he dare to tell me? As long as Aze likes it, how have I not fulfilled him? "

Eunuch Huai En didn't need to worry about whether he was adding insult to injury. He whispered: "It is precisely because His Majesty always fulfills Mr. Gu that he dare not say anything."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Gu looks at people differently from ordinary people. Maybe it's just a matter of playing around and I can't get it right. Maybe it's because the young lady doesn't have enough status and Mr. Gu doesn't want to make her feel wronged."

Emperor Qianyuan always only cared about his own enjoyment. The things or people he liked were his.

When has he ever considered the wishes of others?

Therefore, Emperor Qianyuan did not understand Gu Tianze's intention to protect Wang Zhiyao.

Eunuch Huai'en advised: "Who's young man is not sentimental? Whether Mr. Gu is in love with others is a matter of debate. Your Majesty does not need to worry about him. With you protecting Mr. Gu, who dares to hurt him?"

Didn’t you see the Queen Mother making her only daughter He Yuejun kneel as a punishment?

Emperor Qianyuan frowned and put down the tea cup on the table. He sighed: "I want to know who it is? Who made Aze fall in love?"

"...How about I ask Dongchang to investigate?" Eunuch Huai'en sincerely suggested to Emperor Qianyuan. Dongchang's information was enough to satisfy any curiosity of Emperor Qianyuan.

"Aze knows that I will be angry if I use the East Factory."

How could he not think of using the factory guard?

He couldn't ignore the consequences of Gu Tianze knowing everything.

If the all-pervasive factory guard is placed next to Aze, Emperor Qianyuan will feel that he does not trust Aze and does not love him enough!

Ever since Gu Tianze was a child, Emperor Qianyuan never arranged for factory guards... In order to find out who Aze was letting go, the factory guards were used? Emperor Qianyuan would be ashamed of himself.

Mr. Huai'en said fairly: "If we don't use factory guards, are we going to hold a banquet in the palace? Call in all the ladies who went to Yin's house today and watch closely. Are you afraid that you won't be able to tell any clues? Since Mr. Gu has someone he cares about,

It will definitely show up in your expression..."

"What a good idea." Emperor Qianyuan said with a smile on his face, "Huai'en, I really can't live without you! Okay. Let's do it like this and let the queen hold a banquet. I want to see who Aze's sweetheart is."

"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."

"However, Princess Longqing and Princess Longyu have reached the marriageable age. They and Aze are childhood sweethearts. Why doesn't anyone come to me to propose marriage?"

Emperor Qianyuan was indignant and said, "What's wrong with Aze? Rufei's idea of ​​choosing a prince-in-law for their sisters has been put on the head of the imperial examination. Could it be that Aze, who I raised, is not as good as those poor literati?"

"...I want to be like a concubine because I don't want to embarrass you."

"What's wrong with me?"

"..."

Eunuch Huai'en pursed his lips tightly and bowed his body. There were rumors about Gu Sanshao everywhere. They had been spread for more than ten years. How could the concubine, who is so cautious and prudent, be choosing a consort for the princess?

Something that 'embarrassed' the emperor?

**Isn’t it a grave sin?

Once the two princesses Longqing and Longyu say in public that they are attracted to Sanshao Gu, Your Majesty...can you come to the stage?

Emperor Qianyuan's eyes widened, and Eunuch Huai'en whispered: "I heard that Duke Dingguo's wife is interested in becoming a princess again, and wants to marry Princess Longyu for the second son."

The crown prince Dingguo married Queen Gu’s only princess, Princess Longxiao.

"What did Concubine Ru say?"

"As the Concubine said, everything is decided by the Queen and Your Majesty."

Emperor Qianyuan thought for a while and said: "If the queen comes to tell me in person, it is not impossible for me to marry another daughter to the Gu family... But this will be the last princess to marry the Gu family."

Eunuch Huai'en can imagine that if the eldest son Dingguo and the second young master both marry a princess, but Gu Sanshao, who is most favored by the emperor, does not marry a princess, the rumors in the market will follow Gu Sanshao for his whole life, and maybe future generations will also discuss it.

One after another.

"I can't roast the Gu family in a frying pan."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Eunuch Huaien bowed his head and did not put the Gu family on the pan to roast, but you single-handedly put your most beloved Third Young Master Gu on the fire... It is supposed to be the person who reminded the emperor, but who dares to say this?

It’s not like Duke Ding couldn’t tell whether Third Young Master Gu was his son or not, but Duke Ding was always silent and reserved, so he would not talk to the emperor.

Mrs. Dingguo Gong... is very scheming. When she gave birth to Gu Sanshao, she had a dystocia and her life was in danger. And because she ruined Gu Sanshao, Dingguo Gong's concubine gave birth to a son. Dingguo Gong's wife would let him

The 'misunderstanding' continues.

The rest of the people, even Empress Gu, were suspicious. Besides, Empress Gu also wanted to use Gu Sanshao Gong Chong, so how could she seek confirmation from the emperor in person?

This is a confusing account.

No one dares to agree with the emperor's confused explanation.

But the most innocent person among them is probably Gu Sanshao... Thinking of this, Eunuch Huai'en's resentment towards Gu Sanshao for driving his nephew out of the capital became much lighter. After all, he also watched Gu Sanshao grow up.

When he was a child, Gu Sanshao even used him as a horse rider.

When the emperor was busy with government affairs, Eunuch Huai'en was always in charge of Third Young Master Gu.

It is also a good thing for my nephew to have some experience in the northwest, so as not to be 'spoiled' by the people in the capital. The Marquis of Xining is very reasonable and has already asked Paoze, who is still guarding the northwest, to take care of his nephew. Eunuch Huai'en is not too worried about his nephew's safety.

Because Eunuch Huai'en was the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch of the Bureau of Ceremonies, the court officials looked upon his nephew with special regard. Once he was abandoned by Emperor Qianyuan, the nephew would immediately become a castrated dog...

Uncle Huai En hoped that his nephew would learn some real skills so that he could support the family business when he was old.

No eunuch can be famous all his life.
