"Where is your Majesty not powerful?" His eyes fluttered gloomyly, "Your Majesty is naturally powerful everywhere."
"Really?" Shang Junlin wrapped his arms around Sullen's waist, held his hand with the other, and played with it in his palm, "Ah Yu, do you want to try?"
"Try what..." Just as he asked, he closed his mouth gloomily and realized, "Does your Majesty feel that you are different from before?"
"What's different?" After listening to the gloomy words, Shang Junlin thought about it carefully, but didn't find anything wrong.
"Your Majesty didn't like to say such things as much as now." He closed his eyes gloomyly.
"I didn't know what to say before?" Shang Junlin tightened his arms around Shen Yu's waist, leaned over and rubbed his cheeks against Shen Yu, "Does Ah Yu like it?"
A layer of light pink appeared on Shen Yu's face, the man's body temperature was just like him, giving Shen Yu a fiery feeling, and the heat of another person clearly came from the intimately touching face, Shen Yu pursed his lips.
"Do your majesty's courtiers know that your majesty still has such a side?"
"What do I want them to know? It's enough for Ah Yu to know." Shang Junlin turned his head slightly, and left a kiss on Shen Yu's face.
The fingers hanging by the side curled up, and the depression did not avoid it, allowing the kiss to roll down.
Hugging Shen Yu for a while, Shang Junlin extinguished all the anger that had arisen in the morning, and sat down hugging Shen Yu: "Ah Yu has been waiting for me for so long, are you hungry?"
Don't say it, I still don't think it. When Shang Junlin mentioned it, Shen Yu realized that he was really hungry. He nodded and said, "A little bit."
"Meng Chang, pass on the meals."
Eunuch Meng went out in response, Mu Xi poured tea for the two masters and stepped aside.
Holding the teacup, Shen Yu gently rubbed the side of the cup, "That Mr. Zhao, what does His Majesty plan to do?"
"Relying on the aristocratic family standing behind me, do you really think I dare not touch him?" Shang Junlin took a sip of the teacup while holding the depressed hand.
"... Your Majesty, that is my cup."
"Ayu's tea is not willing to give me a sip? Or is it that Ayu hates me?" Instead of letting go, Shang Junlin drank the water in the cup in one gulp.
"Your Majesty can drink if you want, a glass of water."
"Ah Yu, don't be angry, I'll pay you back after drinking yours, how about that?" Shang Junlin took the empty cup from Shen Yu's hand, and fed another full cup to Shen Yu's mouth.
"Ayu feed me once, and I also feed Ayu once."
There is a posture of being depressed and not giving up without drinking.
Sullen and helpless, he had to take a sip, and he could tell that Shang Junlin did it on purpose.
Fortunately, Shang Junlin knew not to tease too much, and returned to normal after feeding once: "The family's heart is getting bigger and bigger."
"Lord Zhao is just a pathfinding stone they put out. If they can force His Majesty to make concessions this time, they will be able to make progress next time and plan more benefits for the family. If they can't, as an official, if they give up, they will give up. It will hurt the bones and touch the foundation."
Shen Yu learned about Master Zhao's identity in the apse. As officials, it is their duty to persuade the emperor, but this does not mean that they can influence the emperor's thoughts because of their own selfish desires.
"Ah Yu's thinking is right. The aristocratic family has been hovering in the court for a long time. It is very difficult to shake their foundation." Shang Junlin lowered his eyes, suppressing the killing intent in his eyes.
Since his ascension to the throne, the aristocratic family has stumbling him a lot, both openly and secretly, but because of the late emperor's stupidity, most of the power in the court has fallen into the hands of these people. Although there is an imperial examination, the aristocratic family has a lot of resources, and most of the officials elected by the imperial examination Unclearly related to the aristocratic family, it took several years for Shang Junlin to cultivate a group of officials who could be used and had no ties to the aristocratic family.
Sullenly covered Shang Junlin's hand: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be patient for long, isn't the result of the imperial examination this time a slap in the face of the aristocratic family?"
One of the top three, none of them came from aristocratic families, didn't they claim to be rich and superior, why can't even Jiang Huaiqing who came from a poor family and Fang Jiayi who is a woman
"Ah Yu is right, no matter how deep their roots are in Dahuan, I will cut down those roots that suck Dahuan's blood!" Shang Junlin folded his hands and wrapped his gloomy hands into his palms, interlacing his five fingers and interlocking them.
As long as these people don't act too aggressively, he used to turn a blind eye to them, but now that he has Ayu, in order to give Ayu a better shelter, he will never allow Dahuan to have any problems!
Not long after, Eunuch Meng took the palace staff to put away the dishes from the imperial dining room one by one.
Shen Yu glanced at it, and saw that it was all his favorite dishes.
"Your Majesty, let's eat first."
"Um."
The two sat down, and the palace servants stepped aside.
Sullen is not used to being served by others for meals. Shang Junlin has been eating with him for a long time, and he has gradually lost the habit of letting people serve dishes. An emperor, a noble monarch, two people with the highest status, fell down when eating. Like normal people.
Eunuch Meng is an old man who is by Shang Junlin's side. Seeing with his own eyes that Shang Junlin has become more and more lively since he entered the palace in depression, he feels indescribable emotion in his heart.
He had also imagined what it would be like if there were people in His Majesty's harem, no matter what, it would not be better than now.
After the palace examination results came out, the imperial court would announce the news to the outside world. At this time of year, the people in the capital pay the most attention to the top three.
This year's results came out, which caused a lot of heated discussions.
Without him, Gein had a woman in the list this time, and she still appeared in second place.
In restaurants and teahouses, people can hear people talking about this matter everywhere.
"A woman is an official? Isn't this a fairy tale?"
"How can a woman be an official? Rather than showing her face outside, it's better to stay at home and take care of her husband and children."
"What do you know, if someone has this ability, why can't he serve the court like a man?"
"But have you noticed that none of the children from the aristocratic families with lofty hearts won the No. 1 prize this time?"
"That's right, the one who boasted about geniuses every day a while ago just got fourth place."
"Let me tell you, the aristocratic family is indeed a bit over the top. They think they can sit back and relax by keeping a large number of secret books, but they don't know that they will only be left behind by others."
When a young man in white clothes who was sitting not far away heard these words, his face became extremely ugly. The people dressed as young men who followed him looked at each other quietly, embarrassed and did not dare to speak.
They just saw that their friends' grades were not satisfactory and pulled them out to relax, so they never expected to hear such words.
"Brother Yi..."
"It's a fact that I didn't pass the exam, you don't need to say more," the young man in white took a sip of his wine with an ugly face, "Have you found out the identities of those people?"
It's fine to be compared by He Chengyu, since both of them are sons of aristocratic families, so why should Jiang Huaiqing and Fang Jiayi
How dare a person who came out of nowhere dare to climb on top of him? !
"Found it. Fang Jiayi is the only daughter of Master Fang. That Jiang Huaiqing is just an abandoned orphan with no background. Brother Jian Ming, do you need us to take action?"
The young man in white, that is, Yi Jianming shook his head, with dark eyes: "Don't act rashly, don't think that the official career will be smooth sailing after passing the top three exams. The real difficulty is yet to come. Do you really think that the officialdom is so easy to mess with?"
Isn't it easy to deal with a person who doesn't have any power behind him
"Brother Jian Ming, there is no need to worry. Of these two people, one entered the officialdom as a woman, and the other was inextricably linked to the fraud case not long ago. Whether they can successfully enter the court is open to question."
Yi Jianming grabbed the speaker's hand: "What do you mean by what you said just now? What does it mean to be inextricably linked to a fraud case?"
"Oh, about this matter, Brother Jian Ming, you were concentrating on preparing for the exam at the time, and there may be some omissions in the news. It is said that Jiang Huaiqing was also approached by those people before the exam, but if he really did anything, no one knows except himself. ?”
"That's right," Yi Jianming smiled maliciously, "How can a person who has no support behind him get such a good grade if there is nothing tricky about it?"
"Ah Choo," Jiang Huaiqing who was talking caught off guard and sneezed. He touched his forehead, "Could it be that the temperature has dropped recently and caught a cold?"
"It's also possible that someone is talking about you." He Chengyu slowly picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth.
"Brother Chengyu, don't make fun of me. If people really talk about it, brother Chengyu should be the same as me." Jiang Huaiqing looked distressed when mentioning this matter.
Because of the emergence of a champion and a prostitute, the threshold of Yingxing Tower was almost broken during this time, and it was already very tiring to deal with the people who came to congratulate, not to mention the wave after wave of matchmakers who came to the door to say kisses.
Catching a son-in-law under the list can be regarded as a tradition of Dahuan. He Chengyu and Jiang Huaiqing, both handsome and innocent, have a champion and a third-ranked scholar, and they are both unmarried. Countless families in the capital want to marry them.
Compared with He Chengyu, Jiang Huaiqing's family background is a bit weaker, but those who are interested in getting married will care about this. If you want a good family background, you can grab a lot of young masters in the capital, because of this, Jiang Huaiqing's popularity It even faintly surpassed He Chengyu.
At the most one time, more than 20 matchmakers came to him in one morning, Jiang Huaiqing was so frightened that he immediately closed the door to thank the guests, and refused to see anyone.
Seeing that he was really troubled, He Chengyu proposed to move out. Although the headquarters of the He family is not in the capital, it is not difficult to get a house or two.
Jiang Huaiqing thought about it, agreed, and decided to move out with He Chengyu temporarily. For some reason, he wrote to Shen Yu about what happened during this period.
Shen Yu read Jiang Huaiqing's letter, imagined the scene at that time, and couldn't help laughing: "He was frightened by the enthusiasm of the people in the capital."
"I didn't expect him to continue writing to you." Shang Junlin also read the letter, with a smile in his voice.
"I didn't expect that either. I thought he would be frightened by our real identities. Will he write another letter in a while?" Shen Yu didn't expect to receive the letter so soon, "the letter mentioned their new address , Isn’t Your Majesty going to leave the palace in two days, why don’t we go and have a look?”
There were results from the Ministry of Industry, and Shang Junlin planned to go and have a look. Fang Zi proposed it by Shen Yu, so naturally he had to take him with him.
Shang Junlin thought about it and agreed.
"He definitely didn't expect that we would go there." He blinked sullenly and slyly.
Jiang Huaiqing, who was finally not disturbed because he moved to a new home, heaved a sigh of relief and rested for two days. At this moment, he didn't know that he would have a big "surprise" in a short time.
