"Then, why did you deliberately drop my poems for what? Just to get my

    attention?" Converging on the boundless speculation in my mind, I asked about

    the reason before—even though it was incomprehensible to that line The title

    of "poetry" in the text taught me a bit shame."No wonder the young master, the lower official thought that the young master

    came to participate in this Wendu poetry meeting for the position of the

    leader, and the intention was to fulfill it. However, the lower official saw

    that the young master looked unintentional to the young master, this is

    hastily. After finishing the poem meeting, thinking about confessing to the

    young master, then ask for sin.” Shen Youlan said and got up and gave me a

    deep thought, her attitude was so sincere that she taught me dumb."No matter, you are also kind... You only need to remember that if I really

    want to participate, I must be planning to use my true talents and learning to

    fight for the top position; if I go by the side, even if I really win, I will

    deceive myself and treat others. Injustice, is it a pity to myself?" Seeing

    her nodding her head and apologizing, I realized that I had been teaching a

    senior who was more than my age for a long time, and I felt a little sad, so I

    had to change the subject abruptly. "By the way, Master Fu is the son of

    Master Junchong? He is not staying in the Imperial Capital Guanlan. Why did he

    come here?""Does the young master do not know the color of this poem meeting?" She sat

    back in her seat, took a sip of tea, and asked nonchalantly."This... I heard it slightly." I remembered the enthusiastic discussion of the

    young ladies, touched my nose awkwardly, and couldn''t help but glance at Jiang

    Zhuo secretly-even though those people praised him as being above and below

    ground. No, but my heart is already occupied by someone, and I don’t want to

    have any ambiguity with other people, let alone a man I’ve never met before.

    I’m afraid that the other party will misunderstand that I insisted on

    participating in this poem meeting for the sake of the good luck. , Then I can

    hardly argue."It''s not a secret to say that those talented ladies who have never changed

    things may not know it, but our officials who are in charge of handling

    referees every year are tacitly aware-this young master Fu appeared here to

    find talents for Her Majesty. "She saw that I didn''t want to mention the color

    head, so she didn''t hold on to it anymore, which taught me a sigh of relief."Finding talents for the queen? Isn''t the officials promoted through the

    imperial examination not enough?" Fu Yunchong is indeed Kuang Xiqing''s most

    stalwart supporter, but she is a member of the political affairs hall and the

    post of the emperor, her eldest son Since you are extraordinary, why should

    you condescend to come to this folk to select talents?"The young master does not know. Although the Queen has been in power for many

    years, she is not the eldest daughter or prostitute after all. This emperor is

    not righteously named, and the prestige is far less than that of the first

    emperor. There are still a few of the senior ministers in the court who are

    truly willing and sincere. Besides..." When she said this, she suddenly

    chuckled and glanced at me. The expression in her eyes was unclear, and her

    heart jumped: Could it be that she noticed something?Listening to what she meant, could it be that Kuang Xiqing''s throne was not

    passed down by the first emperor''s will? But why didn''t I have this idea in my

    memory?Or, for Kuang Xihan, it is a matter of course for the emperor to inherit the

    throne."What''s more?" I asked calmly, and the corner of my eye looked towards Jiang

    Zhuo unconsciously-but saw her tasting the tea calmly, and when she sensed my

    gaze, she also glanced at me. It was cold, but there seemed to be a touch of

    tenderness in my eyes-I seemed to have found the backbone, and immediately

    became fearless."Besides, there is the beloved Royal Highness Ling," Shen Youlan continued,

    "The noble daughter of the first royal palace, and the niece of the master''s

    relatives, even if she was lawless since she was a child, regardless of

    etiquette, she wanted to push her to the throne. There are many people here!""My lord is not Ling Wang himself, how do you know her mind? If she had no

    intention of being in the throne, she just wanted to live the days of idle

    clouds and wild cranes..." It is best to live with the beloved, then there is

    no regret— —I suddenly noticed that I had said too much, so I stopped quickly

    and gave her a bewildered look.Who knows that she didn''t seem to have heard the loopholes in my words, and

    said: "Of course, the lower official doesn''t know the thoughts of His Royal

    Highness Ling, but the empress''s thoughts are not difficult to guess-how can

    anyone snoring on the side of the couch? Your Majesty looks like a good-

    natured child, who spoils King Ling even more arrogantly before, but what is

    the intention behind this..."Speaking of this, Shen Youlan’s gentle face suddenly raised a touch of mockery

    that was inconsistent with her temperament, and it disappeared in a flash; but

    I realized that this master of the State Supervision Department had treated Fu

    Yunchong and her family. The son, and even the master behind them-my emperor

    sister, did not have much awe.Perhaps, her loyalty and respect have long been given to the master she

    dedicated to serving.——However, Zen Master Kongxi is Zen Master Kongxi, and I am me. Even if Shen

    Youlan keeps saying that I am the Young Master, it does not mean that she will

    really be loyal to me.It''s hard to guarantee that she won''t leak out after knowing my identity, so

    after mediating with her for a long time, I still have no plan to come out.And most importantly, I am afraid that even Shen Youlan herself did not pay

    attention. When she talked about Kwong Xihan, she mentioned the word

    "watching"-yes, although she was only a member of the State Supervision

    Supervisor of the Fourth Grade, she did not participate. Qualified for the

    meeting, but she may not have seen the emperor...Similarly, she may not

    recognize Kuang Xihan—that is, my appearance.If you think about it this way, I am afraid that her mind is not pure, and it

    is not just as simple as she said to recognize me... Even, everything she said

    before, whether it is true or false, I need to be careful Think about it.However, in front of her, I naturally had to pretend to be ignorant, and just

    follow her to talk, and talk about it when I get out."My lord said so...then, I''m not polite to you, if nothing else—" I arched my

    hand at her, planning to get up and say goodbye."Wait," she stopped anxiously. Seeing me looking at her, she hesitated and

    rubbed her fingers. Before I was about to lose patience, she whispered, "There

    is one more thing, the next official wants to ask the young master to judge.""You said." With a helpless sigh, I forced myself to be patient, but in my

    heart I secretly decided that I would leave after listening to her."The river bursts its banks and hit Zechang. The harvest in the fields has

    fallen drastically. The merchants who donated rice to private schools in

    previous years are unwilling to continue. I am afraid that the students will

    not be accepted. The next year’s gold list will no longer be named Zechang.

    Ah..." Seeing my puzzlement, she obviously didn''t understand, so she bit her

    head and continued, "The master has some properties in Zechang, and he only

    needs to draw out half of the profit to keep the title of Wendu— —The

    shopkeepers of these shops only recognize the token, which is the jade in the

    young master''s body."——After going around for a long time, it turned out to be for money.My heart loosened, and most of the previous vigilance and suspicion had gone:

    In comparison, I would rather she be just a corrupt official who fights the

    autumn wind, just coming to me, a jade that can withdraw money."This is not difficult," I tossed Yujue to her, and suggested after thinking

    about it, "In this way, Yujue will keep it for you first. You can provide more

    money and build several public schools for free for students to study. ...In

    the name of His Majesty the Emperor."——When it comes to education-related matters, I can’t just sit back and ignore

    it. As expected, I still can’t forget my previous career... Forget it,

    popularizing compulsory education in the name of the emperor shouldn’t be a

    taboo."Isn''t it right! The young master''s move is a shame!" But the person who made

    the request flatly refused, pushing Yu Jue back to me.Just when I tried to think about how to convince Shen Youlan, who was shunned

    in every possible way, I saw Jiang Zhuo, who was already tasting tea at his

    side, suddenly raised his sleeves, neither greeted me, nor spoke, nor even

    glanced at me, and pushed away. The door went out.I watched her movements in a daze, until I heard the door slamming, and then I

    realized that I wanted to stop her."Jiang Zhuo!" I called her name loudly, but she turned a deaf ear to walking

    like the wind.Seeing her back go further and further away, I quickly shook off Shen Youlan''s

    hand and quickly chased after him, "Sorry, I''ll talk about it another day..."That person''s stature was much taller than me, and the physique of the martial

    artist was also difficult for me to shoot. No matter how I chased, it seemed

    that I could only get further and further away from the long figure.Knowing that going on like this doesn''t help at all, I was so cruel and fell

    to the ground, pretending to exhale in pain, "Ouch!"When he fell, he used too much force, twisted his wrist and frayed his palm.

    This painful cry was mostly sincere.——Although bitterness is despicable, I don’t have a better way now; if this

    can’t teach her to turn back, I can only say that she really hated me to the

    extreme... Then, I should also put out the impractical Thoughts, completely

    give up.I was lying down on the ground nervously and waiting for the result. I gently

    lifted my arm with both hands. The questioning voice was soft and gentle,

    accompanied by an elegant fragrance: "Miss, are you okay?"The corners of my mouth that had just been raised instantly stiffened...This

    person, not Jiang Zhuo.
