After that day, Xue Junyou placed the wooden box with Mr. Shi Quan. After that, he became much more stable and continued to be an ordinary student at Junde College.
Mainly he was thinking about the relationship between Princess Gongsun and Princess Nanyun. He also asked Anyang and heard that the relationship between the two was very good, and the relationship between Anyang and Princess Hua was also very good.
Xue Junyou felt that this might be the key that would allow Princess Hua to speak in the future, but His Majesty the Emperor would not let Anyang leave the imperial capital casually.
It's snowing again. Uncle Sikong was summoned to the palace today. Xue Junyou, who didn't have to go to school, stood at the door of the small courtyard with thoughts abound. He held a silk scarf wrapped in the scarf.
Take a few hard thin pills.
It was something he had brought out from the flower pot of Ning'an Palace before. He still didn't know what it was. He guessed it was poison, but he didn't want to find anyone to test it, otherwise he would be no different from those damned evil people.
After thinking for a long time, Xue Junyou's eyes showed surprise because he saw a beautiful figure.
It's Yun Ni. I think something must have happened to the princess's house.
"Prince-in-law, you actually skipped class?" Yun Ni had obviously just come from the school.
"No, no."
Xue Junyou quickly denied that he could not expose the fact that he was learning the art of war and battle formations with the current crown prince here, so he started to find an excuse and said: "I am not feeling well today, so I asked for leave."
"Do you still ask for leave with your body?" After hearing this, Yun Ni frowned and looked like she believed you.
"Don't worry about these details." Xue Junyou changed the subject and said, "What did you come to see me for?"
"ah!"
Yun Ni seemed to have just remembered, and stretched out her hand to hold Xue Junyou's arm and walked out of the courtyard: "I have a bad memory, but someone from the palace has gone to the princess's mansion. Prince Consort, come back with me quickly."
"Why do the people in the palace go to the princess's mansion to care about my affairs?"
Xue Junyou was pulled away by her with a confused look on his face. Heavy snow fell on him, making him unable to see the road.
Not long after, Xue Junyou was taken into the carriage by Yun Ni.
He frowned and looked at Yun Ni, who was sitting opposite the stove, saying, "If I skipped class just now, then you are leading me to skip school."
Yun Ni smiled at him and said, "Why are you skipping school? My prince-in-law doesn't have to come here anymore."
"Um?"
Xue Junyou was shocked, that would not work, he still wanted to learn the art of war and battle formations from Sikong Shishu, so that he could become a general and go to Ming State to escape the hatred of his family and his country.
"What do you mean?" Xue Jun asked anxiously.
Yun Ni smiled happily, with extremely clear eyes, looking at the Prince Consort, and said softly: "His Majesty appointed you as the Deputy Director of the Criminal Cases Department of the Ministry of Justice. You are the first Prince Consort in history to become an official. The princess is very happy.
, the people in the palace are waiting for the call at the princess's residence."
"Deputy Director of Crime Department?"
Xue Junyou frowned even more. This was a ninth-level officer who was responsible for handling criminal cases in the Criminal Department. It seemed that he still made His Majesty suspicious.
I knew it wouldn't be that easy to escape.
"Why did Your Majesty appoint me as an official?" Xue Junyou asked again.
"Of course it's because you were successful in catching the assassin." Yun Ni responded.
Xue Junyou also understood in his heart that if the assassin was not caught, how could he succeed?
This was obviously a point at him. It seemed that he had gone to the Ministry of Punishment, fearing that there was a case that His Majesty wanted him to investigate. It was probably related to Ma Jiu. After all, he gave Ma Jiu's deed to His Majesty that day.
Soon, Xue Junyou and Yun Ni returned to the princess mansion.
As soon as he entered the princess's courtyard, Xue Junyou saw Anyang chatting happily with the father-in-law from the palace, with a look of pride on his face.
That's right, the Great Entropy State has lasted for thousands of years, but the prince-in-law has always had no official position. Although he only received a ninth-grade official position, it also meant that he had crossed the most difficult threshold.
After half a stick of incense, Xue Junyou accepted the imperial edict in a decent manner and thanked Heaven for his kindness.
When Xue Junyou returned to his yard, his identity suddenly changed. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Yun Ni wiping the stool for him.
Xue Jun was so worried that he sat down. Luo Junyue followed closely behind, her face full of joy. She looked at Yun Ni and waved her hand quickly: "Don't be stunned. My prince-in-law has been studying for a long time. Come on, give me a pat on the shoulder."
.”
"oh oh."
After hearing this, Yun Ni hurriedly walked behind the Prince Consort, his appearance was the same as when Xue Junyou slapped Anyang on the shoulder that day.
After just a few hammer blows, Xue Junyou couldn't stand it any longer, so he called Yun Ni to stop.
"Then what do you want to do?"
Luo Junyue sat on another stool, with a pair of bright rouge eyes, looking at Xue Junyou with a little pride: "I guess the number one prince-in-law, if you ask for anything, feel free to ask, I will agree to whatever you ask of me, princess."
"Really?" Xue Jun was worried and doubtful.
"Really." Luo Junyue nodded firmly.
"Then I think... ..."
Xue Junyou had mixed feelings in his heart, and he really didn't know what to say to Luo Junyue, but if he didn't say it, how would he go to Uncle Shi to learn the art of war when he was busy in the future, so he secretly emboldened himself and said: "Then this
Can I not be an official?"
"Okay." Luo Junyue blurted out, but then she thought about it but it was wrong. She jumped up like a hair and asked in confusion: "What? Since ancient times, the prince-in-law of the Great Entropy has not been able to enter the court or serve as an official, but you don't do it? And you don't do it? What's more?"
I remember you told me before that you wanted to become an official in the court!"
Xue Junyou knew this would be the result, but that was his original idea. He was originally a businessman, and his consort was not allowed to be an official, so he thought that as long as he had an official position, he would work hard to advance into an official career.
But it's different now. His starting point is also higher, and he can develop into a military attache. Only by becoming a military attache can he avenge his country and family more quickly.
"You don't think your official position is too small, do you?"
Seeing that Xue Junyou was silent, Luo Junyue rolled her eyes slightly and said as if she knew the reason: "Don't worry, with my status, as long as you step over the threshold, I will guarantee that you will become a high-ranking official in the imperial court."
Jade food will also protect your entire family's wealth."
"I am not a person who covets good clothes and good food."
Xue Junyou sighed lightly, but didn't know how to tell Anyang. He raised his head and looked at Anyang, and asked tentatively: "Then if I make some achievements, you will help me enter the military camp and then be a guard."
A national general?"
Hearing this, Luo Junyue obviously hesitated for a moment, but the time was very short: "... Yes, you said that if you are born to be a man, you should carry a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements and fight for the country.
"
Xue Junyou nodded, he could clearly see from Anyang's eyes that he would never.
But the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string. This is an edict issued by His Majesty himself. It is estimated that even if Anyang agrees, he will not be able to refuse.
In this case, it is better to accept it calmly.
"All right."
Xue Junyou sighed again and nodded: "Then I will be the deputy director of the crime department, but once I get busy, I won't be able to accompany the princess. Then don't blame me for neglecting you."
"That's natural."
A confident smile appeared on Luo Junyue's face again: "You have made so much money for me this time, how can I be so petty? Go ahead and do your work, and you won't have to wait for me to have dinner in the morning."
Xue Junyou nodded, thinking that this is good, at least he can use the excuse of being busy to go to Junde Academy to continue learning the art of war with Uncle Shi without any delay.
"In that case, let me rest first."
After saying that, Xue Junyou seemed to be chasing people away: "Princess, please go back first."
"Then you rest."
Luo Junyue smiled softly, knowing that the prince-in-law always had to make mental preparations. At this time, he needed peace and quiet the most.
It just so happened that Han Xian, the Minister of Punishment, had an acquaintance with her, which would allow Mr. Han to take more care of the consort in the future.
After Luo Junyue went back to her compound to freshen up and dress up, she took a luxurious chariot and went to Master Han's house.
Xue Junyou, on the other hand, was quiet and lying on the bed with a lot of thoughts. He wondered in his heart what His Majesty meant.
He thought it was very likely that he hadn't believed what he said that day, or that he really thought he was worthy of a big job, so he let him be a small official for a while.
No matter what point, Xue Junyou cannot be careless, because it is absolutely true that His Majesty is paying attention to him at this moment.
... ... ...
Xue Junyou didn't know how long he thought about it, but he finally fell asleep. When he thought about this too much, his mind became tired.
It was getting dark, and Xue Junyou was awakened by a rustling sound.
He opened his eyes and could clearly hear sounds on the beams, as if someone was passing by his house.
Xue Junyou slowly stood up, put on his thick cloak and got off the bed.
As soon as I opened the door, my eyes were filled with silvery white. The heavy snow had stopped and only the wind was still blowing.
It seems that the person who just passed by his roof just now dared to make such a loud noise because of the strong wind.
It's a pity that Xue Junyou has good hearing, so that person still thinks highly of himself.
"Did you hear anything special just now?"
Xue Junyou walked out of the yard and looked at the nursing staff on duty: "It seems to be coming from some roof."
Seeing those people shaking their heads, Xue Junyou walked all the way towards the princess courtyard.
That person had some skills and was able to evade the guards of the 300-acre Princess Mansion to break in. However, if he had such means, he probably couldn't go on a sightseeing tour, and his target must be the Princess Courtyard in Anyang.
Xue Junyou had already obtained Anyang's permission and could enter and leave the princess's compound at will, except for the bedroom.
"Qin Geng!"
He went straight into the courtyard and happened to meet Qin Geng who was about to carry the incense burner into the princess's bedroom, so he stopped her: "I suspect someone has broken into the princess's house. Please go into the princess's bedroom and take a closer look."
"What?"
Qin Zhi frowned slightly, as if it was hard to believe that someone could escape the layers of guards and break into the princess's mansion, but since the prince-in-law said so, she could only do it.
Xue Junyou followed Qin Xian to the princess's bedroom and stopped. There were guards guarding the door of the room, so when he saw Qin Xian entering the house, he leaned against the window away from the bed and stood guard.
About half a cup of tea later, I heard Qin Geng inside shouting that there was an assassin.
Soon a black shadow flashed out of the window and was caught by Xue Junyou.
He grabbed his collar with one hand and pulled away the black cloth covering half of his face with the other. After seeing the black figure's face clearly, he immediately frowned: "It's you!"
Xue Junyou really couldn't believe that it was the man he saw outside the Feijue Ruby Palace that day.
