Facing Princess Jiayi's probing eyes, Shu Yao thought to herself that she must not lose her momentum, straightened her back, and asked, "So what? He obeys my orders, and he doesn't dare to make trouble in front of me."

"Ayuan, hurry up and decide whether you want to go to the Ministry of Rites or not?"

Princess Jiayi fell into a new round of entanglements: "I...I..."

The voice of the young man Wen Lang has already sounded: "Princess, princess."

The imperial guards had already left at some point, Li Mingji walked over and nodded slightly, as if it was just an ordinary greeting.

But Shu Yao remembered that before she fell asleep yesterday, she called Li Mingji into the bedroom, his warm lips, hoarse breath...

"Why are the princess and the princess here? Are they in trouble?"

How could he let an outsider know what the little lady said in her boudoir.Shu Yao gave Princess Jiayi a "quiet yourself" look, cleared her throat, and said to Li Mingji, "Come here, the Princess has something to say to you."

Li Mingji said hello.

Shu Yao walked a certain distance and brought Li Mingji under a big tree.After confirming that there is no one around, he added a bit of tenderness to his voice: "Why are you here?"

"The Imperial City Division and the Dianqian Division are jointly responsible for maintaining the order of the imperial examination room. I'm here to inspect," Li Mingji smiled. "By the way, let's see where the princess who left the house in the morning went."

Shu Yao, who entered the palace without a word early in the morning, felt hot on the face.Both the imperial palace and the princess mansion are her home, she can go wherever she wants, why does she, the master, have to report the itinerary to her guards?Although she can't see Li Mingji as an ordinary guard now...

She snorted and said, "Today's imperial examination, the princess will take a look."

Li Mingji said: "I have some regrets."

"Ok?"

"I regret that I didn't take the imperial examination," he laughed. "In this way, the princess will accompany me in the imperial examination."

Shu Yao thought to himself that what he thought was beautiful, the exam was so hard, and it was exposed to the wind and the sun, so she didn't want to come over and watch it every day.But I heard Li Mingji say again: "I just came from the examination room just now, does the princess know what I heard?"

Shouldn't those scholars be taking exams? What else can they say?Shu Yao glanced at him suspiciously, Li Mingji had already given the answer: "There are rumors in the examination room that the princess intends to choose a son-in-law among the candidates."

"They talk nonsense!" Shu Yao flatly denied it. She didn't even show up at the examination room, so why would she want to choose a husband?What's more, she didn't think about getting married at all... Anyway, she has her own mansion, and now she has Li Mingji, so what does she marry?
Li Mingji couldn't help it after seeing her furious with just one word, the corners of his lips slightly curled up.

During this period of time when he was working in the Imperial City Department, no one knew better than Li Mingji that such rumors had occurred more than once in the capital.Not only him, but also countless people are coveting the slim little princess.

Although he grabbed the back of her neck early on, under such a big environment, there are still countless resistances lying between them, preventing him from moving forward.

"Mingji is worrying too much."

If it's not painful or itchy, Shu Yao feels extremely uncomfortable.Li Mingji expressed his heart to her that night. Although she was pushing behind him, he must have gone through a huge psychological struggle before he mustered up the courage to say something?
After all, there is still such a big identity gap between them.

But she doesn't really care about worldly views.A man with a beautiful face outside will not only not be criticized, but also be praised as "fair". Why can't women be like men?There are so many aristocratic daughters of the clan who support Mian Shou, so it doesn't matter if there is one more of her, she will just raise Li Mingji for the rest of her life.

After thinking about it, Shu Yao stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek.

Although it is not the first time to take the initiative, Shu Yao's earlobes will turn red every time she does such a thing.

"This princess has no one else, so don't think too much about it."

Is this enough to give him a sense of security?
She didn't know how alluring she was in this gesture.If he was indoors at this moment, Li Ming would definitely hug her on the couch to be gentle with her.He restrained his desire, touched Shu Yao's bun lightly, and said with a smile, "Okay."

He inadvertently glanced back.

Not far away, the prince stood under the shadow of the tree, his eyes filled with horror.

Yo, loo, her...

She actually kissed the guard on her own initiative!

……

In the imperial study room, Yin Fu sent a secret letter to Emperor Yong.Opening the seal, the lower left corner of the letter was stamped with the official seal of the Longyou Governor's Mansion, and there were only four words on the letter: February [-]th.

At the end of last year, a piece of Emperor Yong's handwriting was secretly sent to Qinfeng Road, and the second prince was ordered to return to Beijing immediately, and nothing was said about it.After months of running around, I finally got a reply.

The power of the aristocratic family penetrated into the operation of the entire bureaucracy. In order to keep the secret, Emperor Yong fabricated the war and found an excuse for the second prince to dispatch troops.Fortunately, the generals who followed the second prince to the Longyou Dufu Mansion were all talents brought by him, not family members.Coupled with this period of time, most of the power of the Imperial City Division returned to the hands of Emperor Yong, and this time the deployment of troops was carried out smoothly.

Emperor Yong had long thought of calling the second prince back to Beijing.The real decision was made that day when Emperor Yong played chess with Li Mingji, and Li Mingji used external force to turn Shu Yao's mess around. While Emperor Yong was amazed, he felt terrified.

If Li Mingji can muster enough soldiers, he may not be the one who wins.

When Yong Taizu founded the country, in order to guard against the founding soldiers, he asked them to disband the army on the condition of land and officials. They either stayed in the capital as civil servants or went to remote lands. Therefore, most of the troops of the Yong Dynasty were stationed outside, and there were only a few left in the capital. The "elite soldiers" are still filled by this group of official children who have never even been on the battlefield.

Sooner or later, he will tear himself apart with the family. At that time, what should he use to fight against the family?It's better to start preparing now.Even if nothing happens, there is nothing wrong with taking precautions.

Emperor Yong got up and stared at the "Wan Yu Tu" presented by Shu Yao. Yin Fu came in again and asked the Minister of Rites to see him.

In the past few days, the imperial palace is holding the Spring Festival.Chunwei is divided into two parts, one is the provincial examination, and the other is the palace examination. The former is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the latter is assessed by the emperor.However, in previous years, being able to enter the palace examination in the imperial examination has already been accepted by default, and the difference is only in the rank. Emperor Yong usually listened to the advice of the prime minister and the Minister of Rites, and granted these candidates official positions.

As Emperor Yong expected, the Minister of Rites came with a prepared list and said to Emperor Yong: "Your Majesty, this is the ranking proposed by the minister and several co-prefects. It has been discussed with Mr. Zheng."

Emperor Yong laughed in his heart.

Look, for such a big matter as the selection of officials, first show it to the prime minister, and then show it to the emperor. Why didn't he realize this problem in the past?
"Where's the test paper? Show it to me."
