Zhang Fen suddenly looked dark, his eyes became a little flustered, and he kowtowed and said, "I... I started from the last moment, and the late emperor did not abandon him, so I was able to be at the center. I was a wild man, and I did not match my position, and I had no inch of merit. I was ashamed to take responsibility for such a major matter!"

At this time, the pearl curtain was gently rolled open. Behind the pearl curtain, a phoenix-crown pleated skirt, who was thirty years old and had a beautiful face, sitting slanted on the couch, with crystal clear and delicate hands pillowing on her temples, and her shocking face showed the tip of the iceberg. Her eyes seemed to be smiling, but her eyes condensed on Zhang Fen like lightning.

The woman curled her thin lips slightly, as if she was smiling: "Oh? The Ai family thought that the Zhang Qing family had forgotten their origins. They no longer knew how high the sky was or how thick the ground was. Get up. In this Ganquan Building, I just asked you to have a talk, the ground was very cold."

"As graceful as stunning geese, as gentle as a dragon, glorious autumn chrysanthemums, lush spring pine..." The sharpness in her eyes seemed to be swept away in a blink of an eye, but at this moment it was like a layer of gauze was covered with. She sang softly, thinking: "Is this the Ai family in a dream?"

She smiled sweetly, as if she was joking about herself, then she said slowly: "Since the Zhang Qing family dare not make any decisions, then Yao Qing family, you can make any decisions about this."

"I, please follow the phoenix's orders." Yao Wenzhi's eyes looked dull, as if they were not surprised by honor and disgrace.

The woman's beautiful eyes only glanced lightly, and saw that the poem "The Goddess of Luo River" had already been hung behind the rolled-up bead curtain, on the southern wall and the beautiful article "like a stunning geese, as gentle as a dragon" hanging high above it.

When Yao Wenzhi and Zhang Fen retreated, the Empress Dowager's face was slightly darker, and a female official fell to the ground: "Empress..."

The Queen Mother was already leaning slightly, lying on the couch, her eyes closed: "Wuji... Is there any whereabouts?"

The female official pondered for a moment. In the past thirteen years, she had heard the Queen Mother ask about this sentence countless times.

Wuji is the only prince born to the Queen Mother and the late emperor. Unfortunately, one night thirteen years ago, he disappeared in the heavily guarded palace. However, the Queen Mother has never given up hope in the past thirteen years.

However, this hope seems to be getting slim.

Now, the former emperor has gone to the fore. It is becoming increasingly difficult to investigate. After all, the son of the vassal king has ascended the throne and succeeded the throne. In order to prevent it, he can only conduct undercover investigations. Otherwise, who can guarantee that others will find it first?

"No...no news. A few days ago, my daughter heard that a person with three hemorrhoids appeared in Yangzhou, and her age was similar to His Highness Wuji. She had quickly sent someone, but in the end..."

"In the end, I found out that he was not Wuji, right?"

The Queen Mother's tone was actually calm. She sneered: "Continue looking for it, he must be alive. Let's retreat, the Ai family... is going to bed..."

The female official stepped down, and a palace maid carefully pulled down the curtain, and several palace maids who were close to serve also slowly arrived at the four walls and covered the palace lanterns.

This powerful woman, her dress has not been removed, and her crystal-clear jade hands pillowed on her cheeks, as if she had fallen asleep. However, when the palace lantern that was about to be extinguished fell, the long eyelashes on her moving face shook slightly, as if a line of clear tears slipped down, wetting the fragrant pillow.

The bedroom fell into darkness and returned to the silent and quiet sound.

……………………

Today, Chen Kaizhi got up early. He first arrived at Mr. Fang's house, but did not see Mr. Fang. He asked Mr. Fang's old servant and found out that Mr. Fang was going to find the instructor.

Chen Kaizhi shook his head and went to Minglun Hall. He came too early and there was no one here, so he simply took out the text and reviewed his homework.

There is a path to the mountain of books, and diligence is the way, and the sea of ​​knowledge is endless and hard to make a boat. Chen Kaizhi understands very well what he needs in this world. He hopes that he can live a better life, and reading is a shortcut.

Like all dynasties in the history of the previous life, scholars can always enjoy privileges. Not only will the government give preferential treatment, but even ordinary people will look at you with different eyes.

This is why, when Chen Kaizhi went to the song hall to borrow a lamp to read books, even the turtle slave and the singers would never drive Chen Kaizhi away except for some kind jokes. This is a kind of respect from the heart, although these "black Internet cafes" have corrupted one scholar after another with a bright future.

After being admitted to the government, it means that his life can be changed, the government will give more preferential treatment, and his status will also increase. Don’t rush to think about this, he just distracted and continued to study hard.

When the classmates came in groups of three or three, everyone sat down. After a while, a gentleman came in and said with a smile: "Next month is the government examination. The prefectural office has already released the results. The list of students in our Jiangning County's government examination has also been released. Now I have started to call the names."

He slowly picked up the roster: "Wang Rushan, Zhang Ruyu, Yang Zhe, Yang Jie..."

When he was thinking about Yang Jie, Yang Jie, who was sitting next to Chen Kaizhi, shuddered and showed an upset look.

Obviously, every time he took the exam, his nature was to accompany the prince to study. Anyway, there was no hope, so he might even make a joke.

The teacher continued to read it, with more than 60 names, some of whom were classmates, and some had never been to the county to study at all. He should have been in the clan school.

Chen Kaizhi was slightly stunned. Yang Jie had all his names, so why didn't he have his own name? He remembered that although he was transferred to the class, he was qualified for the exam. And a few days ago, he spent ten cents to register.

Chen Kaizhi stood up, bowed to the gentleman and said, "Sir, can you see again? Is there a name for Chen Kaizhi?"

The gentleman picked up the roster and looked at it, then shook his head and said, "No, really, no, oh, if you don't say it, I almost forgot, your name should be included."

But looking left and right, there was still no.

Chen Kaizhi's face was calm, but his heart was angry.

Damn it, I won’t let me take the exam. I’m not moral or immoral. Which grandson’s idea is this?

Chen Kaizhi suddenly understood something and saluted to the teacher: "Sir, if the student has something to do, can he take half a day off?"

This gentleman could also understand Chen Kaizhi's mood when he was shot in a blackmail and said, "Don't worry, you're just missing it, go."

Chen Kaizhi hurried out and directly searched for Teacher Wu's public housing. Just as he was about to enter, he heard a quarrel inside.

Hum? Is it my mentor?

At this time, Mr. Fang said sternly: "What does this have to do with Tongzhi? Chen Kaizhi has good knowledge and has memorized the Four Books and Five Classics. He has great hope in this examination."

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, calm down, calm down, this has nothing to do with me. Think about it, when the list was sent, you also had a look. It was indeed Chen Kaizhi's name. County Magistrate Zhu also specifically explained that it was to let Chen Kaizhi take the exam this year, and you said, do you dare to neglect this matter?"

"To be honest, this is a sign in the Tongzhi Hall. The new magistrate of the court has not yet taken office. Tongzhi is responsible for presiding over the examination. What can I do if he has decided on it? Besides, Mr. Fang, last time, you said that your disciples are impatient, why bother? What do you do?"

Chen Kaizhi's impression was that his mentor always spoke slowly, but then, Mr. Fang's voice changed and roared: "Yes, he is vulgar, unbearable, a stinky stone in the pit, and an unteachable child."

"Babababa..." It seems that Mr. Fang was knocking on the table at this time: "But I am his mentor. If I don't care about his affairs, who will take care of it? If I don't ask about such unfair things, who will ask about it? No matter how vulgar he is, I have to care about him!"
