Sheng Weiqiao knew nothing about Xu Baomo's extreme misery this day.
At dinner that night, seeing that he did not show up, she was quite worried. But after asking about it, Madam Nan said, "He locked himself in the room just now and refused to come out probably because he thought he didn't do well in the metropolitan examination. Actually, it's okay whether he performed well... Anyway, he is still young. He can take the next examination. We Xu Family is not a literary family, so we would actually be very happy if he could get the position of Juren. But he just didn’t listen to it. So just leave him alone! After all, he is an adult, not a child who needs to be comforted by a group of people. He doesn’t feel embarrassed. But we do!"
Sheng Weiqiao said, "The result hasn't come out yet. Maybe Brother Xu has a false presentiment. Maybe he can not only make his mark but also come to the top!"
Then she stopped talking.
After all, how coul
A moment later, Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Shuihe left.Not far from the back hall, Sheng Shuihe asked the servants to stay away and then smiled to Sheng Weiqiao, "Sweetie, Uncle Xu's raising cats is unworthy of being mentioned! I have been raising Brother Five since long ago!"Naive!She wanted to frighten him with Xu Zijing's raising cats?A man who did not raise a fierce animal could not be a good husband!A man without this awareness couldn't be a talented and handsome man!"Why will grandparents come to Chang'an?" However, Sheng Weiqiao changed the topic with a sullen face and said seriously, "You egged on them?"After the news that she was driven out of Ningwei Marquis Family by Xu Caikui last year was spread to the south, Sheng Family didn't mean to come here. Why would Senior Master Sheng come here suddenly with Old Madam Ming after the thing had been past for so long?"I pla
Meng Guiyu's expression changed again and again. After a while, he said, "Eldest Childe Sheng, you're really eloquent! But just as you said, there are so many juniors and in-laws such as Gao Chengxuan in Meng Family. Since so, even if Gao Chengxuan is eradicated, how can you ensure that the next person Meng Family will spare no pains to support is me?""To say the least, even if it's really me...""You've got something on me. So in the future, I have to follow your words like a puppet!”"So, if I acted according to what you said, in the final analysis, you would get all the benefits finally and I would just be your pawn!"Sheng Shuihe put down the tea cup and smiled faintly, "Why can I get something on you? Because your position in Meng Family is too low! If it had been your third brother Meng Boqin who had done what you did, it wouldn't have been a big deal at all! Just like that although the Empress Dowager and State Duke Zheng b
Huan Yehe smiled, "Did she have other choices? She spared the harem the daily greetings. She leads a reclusive life, and she doesn't like dealing with people, anyway.""That seemed to be the only choice indeed!" Sheng Weiqiao heaved a sigh. Shu Sisters were favored enough to eliminate the original empress, let alone a mere step-empress.If Meng Bijun resorted to violence like when she dealt with Meng Lijiang... She would become another Empress Wen very soon.Therefore, she had to bear with the two consorts.On the top of that, she had to exempt the harem from the protocol of the daily greetings to evade further provocation from Shu Sisters and to make nice with Emperor Xuanjing. With the battle between the Meng Family and the Gaomi King Family progressing, she didn't want the Emperor to show the Gaomi King Family partiality after hearing too many complaints about her from Shu Sisters.Sheng Weiqiao winced and continued
"Very nice?" Sheng Weiqiao was curious. Usually, she was invited to discuss something very troublesome rather than something very nice with Huan Yehe, after all. Perplexed, she couldn't imagine what Huan Yehe was felicitating on.But Huan Yehe chuckled, "Do you remember the commotion on January the tenth? The Meng Family put their recompense on hold with them going through a sensitive period and the upcoming wedding of His Majesty. Now that the Empress has finally married into the imperial house, she'll naturally pay you back. It's been two months since the incident, after all."She pulled out a small piece of red paper from her sleeve and unfolded it, "These are the titles drafted by the Empress Dowager and the Empress. Pick three for yourselves.""The titles?" Amazed, Sheng Weiqiao uttered before even taking a look at that draft, "But which rank of nobility will we be in?""You'll all be the princess." Huan Yehe said, "But
The result of the court examination came out sooner than that of the metropolitan examination, given the smaller number of candidates.The ranking was released on March the twenty-fourth, ensuing the examination set on the twenty-second. And the imperial examination wrapped up.To many people's surprise, and in a minority of people's expectations, Sheng Shuihe won the first place.With the absence of Gao Chengxuan, who was said to get injured in a fall, Huang Wujiu won the second place.The third place was a candidate strange to Sheng Weiqiao's party, whose political position also remained unknown to them.Putting aside the three best candidates, the fourth place was won by Xu Baomo, who came only eighteenth in the metropolitan examination, which also surprised Sheng Shuihe. He communicated with Xu Baomo on their essays after the metropolitan examination, and he estimated that Xu Baomo's rank wouldn't fluctuate
Now that the gangplank was in place, Xu Zijing Couple supposed Senior Master Sheng would finally get off the ship.But the sailor responded, "Senior Master, I wasn't being lazy. I was just wondering whether you would oblige me with a glance at Eldest Childe, who was said to come top in the court examination. I've known him as a handsome, highbrow, refined, and calm man who has a good memory and great talent, who reads a lot but doesn't neglect the practice of martial art, and who respects his seniors and befriends his juniors since long ago!"Then, Senior Master Sheng stepped back from the gangplank, "My grandson is indeed a handsome, highbrow, refined, and calm man who has a good memory and great talent, who reads a lot but doesn't neglect the practice of martial art, and who respects his seniors and befriends his juniors... But he's modest, as every Sheng is! He won't mind it! You just follow me up. Maybe he needs someone to run errands!"
However, despite Sheng Weiqiao's goodwill, Old Marquis Xu made his way to the back hall as soon as they arrived at Ningwei Marquis Family and roared all along, "Where is the little br*t? Ask him to come to me! I'll take his surname if I fail to beat him to death today!"Old Madam Xia only laughed coldly, "So, you'll be named Xu, as you are now!"Sheng Weiqiao felt relieved as she heard that. Fortunately, Old Madam Xia was also here. She wouldn't let Xu Baomo be beaten up, would she?But Xu Zijing Couple exchanged a glance and heaved a sigh. So, it wasn't Old Marquis Xu but Old Madam Xia who had spoilt Xu Baomo!But Old Madam Xia continued coldly, "As I told you to discipline him, you must thrash him every day! He won't repent even if you beat him to death now! Hang him up every day before the meal, lash him with a whip steeped with saline water, and he will stay good!"Old Marquis Xu retorted, "That's what we di
After they two entered the Mansion together, they got totally different treatment. Senior Master Sheng, who was smiling originally smiled much more happily after seeing Sheng Shuihe, as if he couldn't wait to walk down to hold this grandson in his arms at once!Old Madam Ming was also very happy to see such a magnificent younger junior who looked so handsome and just became the top scholar although Sheng Shuihe was not her biological grandson. After all, since there was such a talented person in the eldest branch, the second branch and the third branch would also benefit a lot.However, Old Marquis Xu and Old Madam Xia looked at their grandson so coldly when he came in!Seeing this situation, Xu Baomo's legs felt like jelly when he just passed the threshold. Would it be better for him to kneel down to admit his error so that they would beat him not so hard or he could just slip away?At this time, he was so jealous of Sheng Shuihe
Shu Zhaoyi lost her soul and returned to the Xuanjing Emperor placed outside the bedchamber, and was about to go in to see how the Xuanjing Emperor slept ... After she came back with the Xuanjing Emperor, because she was anxious to go to interrogate Meng Guiyu alone, she excused herself to drink wine to drown her sorrows, and left the Xuanjing Emperor after she got him drunk.This moment back can not help but go in to see, who knows just to the door to see the two chamberlains eyes and nose guarding.Seeing Zhaoyi come over, their faces all changed, and they bowed tremblingly, saying, "Long live the Empress!""There are people inside?" Shu Zhaoyi asked with a raised eyebrow when she saw that despite their respectful attitude, they never had the intention to give way.The two chamberlains looked at each other, with trepidation in their eyes, knowing that the Shu sisters were in great favor and neither were good-tempered.Especially at this moment, the ne
Shu Zhaoyi's expression was harsh, but Meng Guiyu's face was calm, and he said in a deep voice, "Back to Lady Zhaoyi, I really didn't know about Your Highness's suffering at all!"He glanced at Shu Guifei's remains on the door panel not far away, "As for why His Majesty and Lady Zhaoyi found that Lady Guifei was missing, they issued an imperial edict for the forbidden army to search everywhere, and in the end, it was me who sent Lady Guifei to His Majesty as well as to Lady Zhaoyi.... Ma'am, I reported up before that Lady Guifei wasn't personally found by me, but was reported up after his men found it. personally found, but rather after my men found it and reported it up, I went to see it!""After all, I have been favored by the two empresses and have joined the forbidden army as the Grand Commander of the forbidden army. When the forbidden army discovers a clue, it is natural to report it to me first, and then I will convey it to His Majesty and you, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!" Meng Gui Yu's expression was somber, his eyes were also red, stepped forward and cupped his fists and said, "After I learned that Your Highness and her attendants had disappeared, I couldn't believe that Your Highness had been in an accident! However, the Queen Consort lived in the Qiongxue Palace and the left side of the inch by inch search down, the Committee did not see any silhouettes, can only be dispersed towards the distance. At this time to listen to the water division side of the report, said the spring wave lake floated up ... floated up a number of people, all for the palace attire, the leader of the even more expensive clothes extraordinary, I ... ministers eleven million hope that it is a mistake!""But the minister to the lake, personally saw this body pomegranate red dress shirt ... I remember, two days ago also see your concubine through ...""This must be which bitchy servant girl, stole this palace sister's robe!!!" Shu Zhao Yi covered
The sky was overcast as if it were night before the rain poured down.In the back room of the assassin's residence, the doors and windows were closed, and it was too dim to see the outlines of things.Yi Liu dressed in Xuan Shirt strong clothing, full head of green silk also with the same color of the handkerchief tightly wrapped up, foot soft sole light boots, quietly stepped over the scarlet ground tangled branches of lotus pattern unicorn play beads rug.The short sword in his hand was coated in black paint, dark and heavy that would not emit any reflections, best suited for the immediate environment.She narrowed her eyes slightly so as not to let the luster between the flow of her bright eyes be detected by her opponent.The thunder outside the house had been raging for a long time, and her confrontation with her opponent had lasted even longer.She's in no hurry.In addition to the fact that this was the Assassin's Palace, the home bas
Rong Sleeping Crane was busy smiling and greeted her, "Auntie! I disturbed you last night, are you resting well now?"Xuan Yu Feng first looked him up and down, saw his gray head and face, and his clothes were dirty, then said in a pleasant manner, "I am an idle person anyway, it is nothing to make a mess once in a while, but it is you ... how did you get this? How to make such a mess? I just saw with you a piece of over the guards, are good, thought you also safe and sound it!"Let's just say that he, "Auntie knows that this child of yours is both literate and skilled in martial arts. But the so-called not in his position does not seek his own politics, you now is not to the district Gongsun clan to sell their lives of the Wuyi camp leader, but the king of the big Mu County, is the husband of Qiao Er, lemonade father of the king! If it is because of the first to fight, there are any shortcomings, you call Qiao'er mother and son in the future how to do?""What's mo
"..." Rong Sleeping Crane froze and said, "Good girl, although Meng Boqin is gone, the Northern Border may not be peaceful ah! And you also know that I secretly came from the Western Border this time, so after settling your mother and son, I will talk to uncle for a few more days, and also have to hurry to return to the Western Border."Sheng Weiqiao said, "You have urgent matters, you go to the western border first! I'll go over slowly with lemonade, at most it's just a few more days of traveling."She frowned slightly, ''Before I left from the Western Frontier in such a hurry, the things I lost down were just that, Geun Li, Ju Li those people, and the twelve niang and whatnot ... I'm telling you, if it wasn't for the fact that you were in the way of Meng Boqin before, and you said that it was safest to take the sea route to leave, I would have wanted to go to the Western Frontier to witness it no matter what. I'd like to go to the western border to see them before I fe
"Think of the good in things!" The plan to use Zhao Shi as a front failed, Rong Yuhe could only go alone to face his wife's doubts, he was on his way to comfort himself, "I can't say that my daughter is worried and scared alone in the camp, and she is satisfied to see that I am well past it. Why is it that things are happening differently from what she told me before, and she's not in the mood to get to the bottom of it, so I'll be able to get by with a few perfunctory sentences?"With that thought he looked down at his neat as new robes, pondered for a moment, and decisively halted his mount!The left and right guards were instantly aghast, taking off the bow hanging on the saddle and nocking arrows from the arrow pot at their waist while asking in a low voice, "County King?""... "Rong Sleeping Crane looked at them as if they were enemies, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said, "It's nothing. Well, you guys stay here, lone go to the side forest for a bit!"
The green-clothed boy heard, a face of "difficult to say" expression, once again look at Zhao Shi, mouth vaguely said, "I do not know how to say ... anyway... several stewards feel very difficult to make a judgment. ...Several stewards feel that it's very tricky and can't make a judgment, so I can only ask the County King to personally decide!"Seeing this situation, Zhao Shi raised an eyebrow and said to Rong Sleeping Crane, "I'm about to go out to see how things are going underneath, you guys talk over here!"Just take the old maid and go.The room is left with Rong Sleeping Crane and the boy, that boy immediately swept away the calm in front of Zhao Shi's master and servant, said in a tone of excitement mixed with inexplicable excitement, "County King! To tell you the truth, you may not believe it: brother Ah Xi, he ... actually slept with the Empress!!!"Yung Sleeping Crane, who has taken a hundred and twenty-thousand percent care and is ready to receive
Zhao Shi sniffed, froze for a good while, before asking with doubts, "You ... you send all the horses of your Western Frontier elite cavalry over? Then what about the direct line that you single-handedly trained?"Not waiting for Rong Sleeping Crane to answer, he shook his head again, "Not right! You kid has always been treacherous, not taking advantage of others would be good, how could you do something so self-sacrificing?!"Mind electric turn, suddenly eyes bright, breathing are a little short of breath, eagerly asked, "I remember you promised Deng Chen Liyu to help him raise his son and grandson ...?""I'm not as old as his grandson, what do you mean by helping him raise his son and grandson?" Rong Sleeping Crane cried and laughed, "It's just a promise to shelter a few of his heirs."Zhao suitable toward him leaned his body, attentive to ask, "The previous dynasty has the emperor Na Ru Ru princess as a consort, when Ru Ru accompanied by 10,000 horses, tha
