[Hey, brother, what's going on? 】

[Why do I feel that he suddenly feels a little sad? 】

[Is it my illusion? 】

【…】

For some reason, Yun Wanning suddenly felt that his mood had changed.

Outside the front yard.

The man in a dark blue robe crossed his arms and leaned against the red wooden pillars of the corridor, raising his chin slightly with a nonchalant expression.

'Gululu~'

There was a sound of rolling wooden wheels.

The boy in black appeared at the corner of the corridor pushing a wheelchair.

"Brother Mingyue~"

A hint of joy appeared in Gu Heng's eyes, and he raised his legs to greet Yun Wanchen.

"Long time no see, brother Mingyue, how are you doing?"

"Everything remains as usual, where is Jin'an?"

Yun Wanchen smiled slightly, his eyes were like stars blooming, the ice and snow melted in an instant, and there was no trace of haze.

Jin'an is Gu Heng's name.

Gu Heng touched his forehead and said, "I just came back from Nanzhou Mansion. Except for being tired, everything is fine. Brother Mingyue, I'm sorry. I came back too late and didn't catch up with you."

In the Dawu Kingdom, the status of imperial merchants was not high. There were twelve imperial merchants, who managed various royal industries such as salt, weaving, silk, tea, iron ore, and land transportation.

Except for personal connections and business, the imperial merchants had no actual say in the court, but there were many things going on.

Especially the Gu family, which manages land transportation and tea. As the young master, Gu Heng is extremely busy all day long.

"It's okay."

"By the way," Gu Heng looked at the legs on the wheelchair and asked with probing eyes, "How was Brother Mingyue and Uncle Yun Qi's trip to Jingzhou? Was there anything gained?"

"It's not worth it."

A faint smile flashed across Yun Wanchen's lips, and he admitted generously.

He will stand up again soon. This matter cannot be hidden after all, so there is no need to hide it. Just dump it on Jingzhou's head and keep the little sister's secret.

"Ah? Really? That's great. I would like to congratulate Brother Mingyue in advance~"

Gu Heng couldn't help but laugh happily. It could be seen that at this moment, he was sincerely happy for his friend.

However, things are unpredictable and people will change after all, right?

Yun Wanchen lowered his eyelids slightly to cover the dark spots in his eyes.

In the hall, the waiter served tea and then retreated. Apart from Gu Heng and Yun Wanchen, only Cang Yan, who was quiet and had no presence, was left.

After chatting for a few words, Gu Heng's expression suddenly became awkward. Yun Wanchen took the tea cup and blew it gently, his eyes moved slightly, and he spoke calmly.

"Jin An seems to have something to say."

"Brother Mingyue, to be honest, apart from visiting you this time, I actually have something else to ask for~"

The voice became weaker and weaker, Gu Heng's handsome face turned slightly red, and he felt ashamed and embarrassed in his heart.

"Oh? Jin'an has something to say, but it doesn't matter. Between you and me, there is no need to hesitate."

"Thank you Brother Mingyue. In that case, let me tell you straight away. My aunt's family has a cousin who won the top three imperial examinations last year, but has not yet obtained an official position~"

In the Dawu Kingdom, Jinshi are divided into three categories. The first-level is the number one scholar, the second-ranked scholar, and the third most beautiful person. They are called "Jinshi and the third". There are three people in total. The second-level are called "Jinshi origin", a total of 50 people. As for these three, they are enough. That’s enough for 200 people.

What does it mean to be "born with the same Jinshi"?
That's because he didn't pass the exam, which is a false name to show comfort. Otherwise, why add the word 'same'?

Therefore, the top three Jinshi are worthless. If you are lucky, you can be selected to study for the Imperial Examination. When the next imperial examination is held, you will be dismissed and stay in Haojing to find an official position.

Those who are unlucky will have no choice but to continue taking the imperial examinations, or be sent to remote areas, where no one wants to go, and where there is a lot of banditry.

"My aunt's family has made many connections, but she has hit a wall at every turn. My grandmother knew that I had a close personal relationship with Brother Mingyue, so she and my aunt begged me to find a way with Brother Mingyue."

"I don't want to agree, but my grandmother and aunt want to kneel to me for this. They are elders, how can I accept their kneeling?"

"In desperation, I had no choice but to shamelessly come to Brother Mingyue. I hope Brother Mingyue can do this favor for me so that I can go back to work. I would be very grateful!"

Sure enough~
My little sister’s words are all right!

Yun Wanchen tightened her fingers on the tea cup slightly, and all the luck in her heart was completely turned into ashes at this moment.

Huh~
He smiled lightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes at all.

"My cousin is not very young at all. Why don't you wait until the next imperial examination and take the exam again? Why are you so anxious to become an official in the court?"

The calm voice was tainted with a hint of doubt, making Gu Heng even more ashamed.

"To be honest, brother Mingyue, my cousin is mediocre in talent. He was lucky enough to be admitted to the Jinshi this time. Even if he takes the exam a hundred times, he may not do better than this time. That's why my aunt and her family are so anxious. "

"I see."

Yun Wanchen's brows moved slightly and he said, "But I'm from the same background as a Jinshi. Even if I come forward, I can't get any good official position."

"Brother Mingyue is willing to help. As long as I can find an official position that is not open to outsiders, I and my aunt's family will be very grateful. How dare I hope for a good official position."

Even if he is the number one scholar, he is only a sixth-rank official. How dare someone who is "born as a Jinshi" three hundred blocks away from the number one scholar dare to think about a good position?

It would be nice to have something to do.

Gu Heng expressed great understanding of this.

"Okay, I'll do my best."

"Then I'm really grateful to Brother Mingyue. After everything is done, I will definitely ask my aunt and cousin to come to my door in person to express my gratitude to Brother Mingyue..."

More than half an hour later, Gu Heng left a dozen valuable supplements and hurriedly left.

Mrs. Yun came in from behind the door.

"Cang Yan, please step aside first. I have something to say to the Crown Prince."

"Yes."

After getting rid of Cang Yan, Mrs. Yun looked at the man in the wheelchair who was like a breeze and a bright moon, her eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red.

"Chen'er, you clearly know..., why do you still agree to him?"

She originally thought that when he grew up, he would be able to handle his own affairs, but she still couldn't let go, so she handed Yun Wanning to the nanny and followed him quietly.

But who knows~
"You disappoint mother very much."

"Mother~"

Yun Wanchen gently stroked his forehead and sighed helplessly, "Since you know that the child knows this, why can't you give the child more trust?"

Deny him so easily.

"You've already promised him, how do you expect your mother to believe you? At the very least, you're asking for trouble, at the most serious, you're seeking power and taking bribes. It doesn't count for harming yourself, and you've also tainted your father and the Yun family. reputation..."

"How can my mother say it is so serious? It is reasonable and within the laws of the country to find connections to get a small job if you are born with the same Jinshi."

"You, you still talk back? Is that the problem? The problem is that Gu Heng..., you still help him when he does that?"

Mrs. Yun shed tears of anger.

Because she thought of a very important thing when Yun Wanchen went to see Gu Heng. Xiaosi had said before that Yaoer would be in extreme misery when she opposed the heroine in the future and was harmed by the heroine's suitors.And this Gu Heng is obviously one of the heroine's suitors, so it is very likely that he is among the culprits who harmed Yao'er.

She could not understand why Yun Wanchen, who had always been sensible, would help Yun Wanchen, who had harmed Yao'er to such an extent, and betrayed and framed Chen'er. He was such a ruthless, ruthless, and disrespectful person.
"Mom, please stop crying. I have my own thoughts on this matter. Please trust me. If you don't believe me, then step forward and I will tell you all your plans, okay?"

Seeing his mother shed tears due to anger, Yun Wanchen felt heartbroken and felt extremely guilty at the same time.

If he lets his father know that he will make his mother cry, he will inevitably receive two slaps from his father.

"Do you really care?"

Mrs. Yun held the handkerchief to wipe away her tears and looked at him with red eyes.

Yun Wanchen nodded heavily.

"Okay, then I believe you, now tell me what your plan is~"

"..."

After appeasing Mrs. Yun, Yun Wanchen asked Cang Yan to push him to Qingyuan.

The clear garden was filled with a faint smell of medicine. Yun Wanchen frowned slightly, and from a distance he saw Uncle Qi teaching his girl to practice internal skills under the magnolia tree.

The two of them are quite close. It seems that after hearing the little sister's voice, Uncle Qi put forward some of his feelings.

A faint smile appeared in Yun Wanchen's eyes.

Uncle Qi is really not young, so if he really has feelings for Miss Yinshuang, it would be a good thing.

"It's the Crown Prince, Master Qi, the Crown Prince is here."

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the handsome and magnificent young man in white under the Yue Cave Gate. Yinshuang's eyes paused for a moment, and she reminded Yun Zhan, then got up from the ground.

Yun Zhan turned his head to look, smiled and waved to him.

"come over."

Yun Wanchen moved his fingers, and Cang Yan pushed him in that direction.

Yun Zhan bent down, reached out and patted his leg, "How have you been these two days?"

"It's fine, Uncle Qi. I shouldn't have disturbed you, right?"

His eyes were teasing and he smiled slightly. Yun Zhan's expression froze slightly and he subconsciously turned to look at Yinshuang.

After seeing her expression as normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"If I say I'm disturbing you, will you get out?"

Yun Wanchen: "..."

He suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Uncle Qi, I'm here to find you. I need your help with something."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"..."

Just as Yun Wanchen was sent away, Yun Zheng sent someone over again.

"Master Qi, the Duke of Guo asked you to come over."

"okay, I get it."

Yun Zhan looked at Yinshuang and said, "Brother has something to do with me. I'll go over there."

"it is good."

study.

After Yun Zhan entered, he closed the door with his backhand and walked towards the desk.

"Brother, is there any news about the things I asked you to do?"

"Ah."

Behind the desk, Yun Zheng looked up at him and handed him a portrait.

"The Shadow Hall has collected the information there earlier. After receiving the order, it immediately transferred all the information about the princess and sent it over quickly. You can see for yourself."

The Shadow Hall is a special organization he established to understand the situation in various countries. Its duty is to collect all information about other countries so that he will not know anything about the enemy during the war.

But I didn't expect that it would be unexpectedly convenient.

Yun Zhan took the portrait and in an instant, a face that was so beautiful that it was so beautiful appeared in his eyes.

The woman's face is picturesque, cold and stunning, with a bit of coldness and aloofness between her eyebrows.

The more I look at this temperament and demeanor, the more I feel that it is exactly the same as Yin Shuang.

Yun Zhan put down the portrait, opened the envelope on the side, took out the information and read it carefully.

Feng Xi, the princess of Dayu Kingdom, 17 years old.

"According to the secret report, there has always been only one crown princess in Dayu Kingdom, and there has been no rumor of seizing the throne. The crown princess's position is as secure as Mount Tai."

"Now he is still in the palace of Dayu Kingdom. He occasionally appears on the streets of Fengtian City to greet the victorious soldiers."

Yun Zheng squinted his eyes and spoke thoughtfully.

According to the secret report, Emperor Dayu's imperial chariot in his early years injured Gengen, leaving him with only one heir, Feng Xi. Because he did not want the throne to be lost, he never adopted the prince. Instead, he kept Feng Xi by his side since he was a child and trained him like a prince.

So what's going on in their house now?

Xiaosi's voice is definitely not false. The only possibility is that the one in Dayu Kingdom's palace is fake. She has replaced the identity and face of the real princess and deceived the entire Dayu Kingdom.

But forget about the civil and military officials and the people. Even Emperor Dayu, who single-handedly raised the imperial concubine, couldn't tell the truth from the lie?
What's going on?

How could a majestic princess be harmed into such a situation without anyone noticing?
"Xiao Si has confirmed that that one is definitely fake. Brother, I need to trouble you to continue investigating this matter."

Yun Zhan folded the portrait and hid it inside his clothes.

"Tsk, do you really like that girl?"

Yun Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him teasingly.

"My fair lady, a gentleman is so kind. Over the years, apart from Yao'er and my sister-in-law, she is the only woman around me. I think I like her."

Being teased by his brother, Yun Zhan coughed slightly, his handsome face stained with a thin blush, but he still admitted it generously.

There is no shame in admiring girls, and besides, he also learned this from his eldest brother, or it can be said that it is the inheritance of the Yun family.

Although he was not yet born at the time, he had heard Brother Zhongli say several times that his eldest sister-in-law's family was exiled and their engagement was forcibly broken off by the Lin family, which was pitifully tight.

When the eldest brother found out, he chased after her with a knife without saying a word. On the way, he hacked to death the government servant who wanted to do evil things to his sister-in-law, as well as countless ruffians who bullied his sister-in-law's family, and silently acted as a hero in secret.

After safely sending his sister-in-law's family to the place of exile, he threw himself into a nearby military camp and began to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service.

Others only performed meritorious service to honor their ancestors and win titles as generals, but he performed meritorious service just to bring his sister-in-law back from the bitter and cold place at the border.

With that passion, he actually accomplished everything. Moreover, he was promoted to a higher position and received the late emperor's favor.

It is really intentional to plant flowers that will not bloom, but to plant willows and willows unintentionally.

"As long as you can understand your own heart, no matter who you like, big brother will support you. You can rest assured to leave this matter to big brother."

Yun Zheng patted his shoulder, his words filled with joy.

It's not easy to raise my brother to such an old age before he finally understands.

Get him a wife and start a family early so that he can give an explanation to his ancestors and parents.

To be honest, he started worrying about Yun Zhan's lifelong affairs two or three years ago. He often had headaches and felt that Yun Zhan was nothing like him. (End of chapter)
