Chapter 235 Polygala
Ning Yuezhao's sudden arrival was unexpected by many people.

He thought that sending the imperial doctor was already a mighty gift from heaven, but unexpectedly the empress would come to visit in person, which shows the prosperity of the holy family of Qingchi.

Right now, everyone is kneeling on the ground with their heads down, unable to see the expressions on their faces clearly, but one can imagine how exciting it is.

Qingchi knelt slower than others because of his wrist injury.Ning Yuezhao originally wanted her to be exempted, but thinking of those people's sarcasm, he didn't dare to blatantly favor her, lest she be difficult to do in the Imperial Academy.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone's voices were filled with fear and sincerity.

The main purpose of Zangshu Pavilion is to collect the classics from all over the world. Because some rare and rare books are involved, no one is allowed to take the books out of the Hanlin Academy without the emperor's permission.However, in order to facilitate the study of the Hanlin officials, as long as they report to the Hanlin scholars, they can take books at will in the library, so tables and chairs are set up in the corner of the pavilion for the Hanlin officials to study here.

Qingchi had been helped by Lu Ji to sit down at the table and chairs earlier, but Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian had a sudden illness, and the decoration in the pavilion was limited, so they could only sit here.

Looking at Qingchi's pale face and the sweat beads still oozing from his forehead, Ning Yuezhao said: "You have injuries on your body, please sit down and talk."

She has slowed down her tone and tried to speak as calmly as possible, but in the eyes of many people, the Empress still favors Qingchi.It's just that although everyone has stood up at this moment, their heads are still lowered, so that people can't see the expressions on their faces.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qingchi was not pretentious, and sat in a seat a little far from Ning Yuezhao, with Lu Ji standing beside her.

Hanlin scholar Zhou Chengchao Ning Yuezhao cupped his hands and said: "The humble minister is not strict, please forgive me!"

Ning Yuezhao glanced at him, and said coldly: "It's still the office hours of the Imperial Academy. I just came in all the way. Almost all the people in the academy gathered here. Is the Imperial Academy busy today?"

Zhou Cheng knelt down again, "This humble minister is guilty!"

Seeing the academicians of the Imperial Academy all knelt down, the rest of them hurriedly knelt down as well, pleading guilty.

Lu Ji was by Qingchi's side and did not follow to plead guilty.

When everyone was kneeling down, Xu Miaoyun walked forward a few steps, "Your Majesty, I know that I am guilty of leaving my post without authorization, but they all gathered here because I was worried about Lord Qing's injury. Just now the imperial doctor gave Qing After the lord's diagnosis and treatment, the ministers originally wanted to leave, but because lord Qing was injured, lord Zhou was in a dilemma for who should take over the responsibilities of lord Qing within half a month, so they didn't leave."

Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian glanced at each other. They had been listening outside for a while. It was clear that Feng Shiyang deliberately picked on Qingchi, but now Qingchi is already a hated existence in the Imperial Academy. Although it is possible to vent your anger, it will also make it more difficult for Qingchi to gain a foothold in the Hanlin Academy.Xu Miaoyun obviously saw this too, so she first admitted her mistake and retreated to advance.

Jiang Nian caressed his right arm intentionally or unintentionally, and there was a slight smile on Qingjun's eyebrows, "It turned out that I was alone to make things difficult for the Imperial Academy. In fact, ghostwriting is just a trivial matter. Just find someone who can write. Zhou Qing also Don’t be embarrassed, just arrange the people’s residence to wait for the edict.”

Zhou Cheng kowtowed, "Your Highness's words have offended the humble minister. It is the job of the Imperial Academy to share the worries of the emperor. How dare you say something embarrassing!"

Jiang Nian shook his head, "Get up, everyone, do what needs to be done."

The implication was that he didn't want to deal with them anymore, so Zhou Cheng hurriedly took advantage of this step to get up.For a while, all the people in Zangshu Pavilion left, only Lu Ji and Qingchi remained in the pavilion.

"What's going on? Why did you fall so well?"

Without outsiders, Ning Yuezhao no longer concealed her concern, and sat directly beside Qingchi.

"Your Majesty, you made a big deal out of a molehill. It's really just that I accidentally fell." Qingchi raised his hands, and the wrists that were still swollen like steamed buns looked a little funny.

The mess on the bookshelf has not yet been cleaned up. From this angle, it can be seen that Jiang Nian has stood up and walked towards the scene of the incident.

Seeing this, Lu Ji followed his pace.

Glancing at the few books scattered on the ground, Jiang Nian bent down and picked them up, his pretty brows were a little tangled, "Why do you read it as a book about martial arts?"

"Isn't Your Highness intending to expand the Imperial Army and reform the military system? I want to go to the Ministry of War!"

Without outsiders around, Qingchi will not hide his thoughts.

When she said this, everyone was shocked.

Ning Yuezhao's first reaction was that she was crazy, a girl with no power to restrain her, what would she do in a place where rough men gathered?
Thinking about Yan Mo who was about to return, Ning Yuezhao suddenly understood her thoughts.

Jiang Nian frowned even tighter, "Why do you suddenly have such an idea?"

"Your Highness, I don't have this kind of idea because of a feverish brain, I just want to do my best for His Majesty and Your Highness."

Although the errands of the Hanlin Academy are cumbersome, they are better than being stable. For women who are officials, it is indeed a good place.But with the current situation in the Northwest, war might break out one day, and she would like to share some of the burden for her best friend.Of course, she also had some selfish intentions, hoping to get closer to that person.

"Can't the Imperial Academy serve me now? Put your messy thoughts away!"

Ning Yuezhao lowered her face and directly rejected her.Although Xiao Jingtian no longer has any rebellious intentions, she has not yet fully controlled the Ministry of War. Grand Tutor Yan has already sacrificed a son for the court. How can she let her teacher's beloved daughter go to a place like the Ministry of War again!
It seemed that he knew that Ning Yuezhao would object, so Qingchi could only turn his attention to Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian flipped through those books, "Take care of your injuries first, it's getting late, you should go back to your home first, and recuperate at home in the next few days. Where you will be transferred in the future depends on your ability. Otherwise, even if Your Majesty and Gu have issued an order, you will not be convinced, and your path in the Ministry of War will not be easy."

Hearing what Jiang Nian said, there is still room for discussion, Qingchi showed a smile on his pale face, "Thank you, Your Highness, that humble minister will retire first."

Because her right wrist was injured and it was inconvenient to salute, she stood up and motioned to them, then walked out with brisk steps.

"Your Highness..." Lu Ji looked at Jiang Nian with an ugly face.

Jiang Nian didn't say anything, just waved his hand.

"Weichen will take his leave first! I'll call you back later!"

Lu Ji put down the wooden ladder he was inspecting, and quickly chased Qingchi away.

Ning Yuezhao walked to Jiang Nian's side, and said angrily, "You're crazy too, you followed her when she messed around!"

Jiang Nian picked up the books on the ground one by one and folded them neatly.In the past, when he first entered the Hanlin Academy, he also did such trivial things as tidying up the library.It's just that after sorting out these books, he called someone, "Let Zhou Cheng know that these books are for Qingchi to read at home while he is recuperating, and when Lu Ji comes back later, ask him to send them."

Although the man didn't understand why the imperial husband had to wait for Lu Ji to fetch it, after all, Lu Ji is now the prefect of Shuntian, and he would not come to answer him like he used to, but the imperial husband's will can't be disobeyed, at worst, let him Someone informed Lu Ji that it was right.

He waved away the person Zhou Cheng left to wait for their orders, but Jiang Nian had no intention of leaving.

Ning Yuezhao has never been to this library. In the past, whatever books she wanted to read, someone would find them and send them to her. The ones she liked were already placed in her study.Therefore, she was not in a hurry to leave, and turned around in the pavilion, feeling the vastness of the book pavilion.

"You really want Qingchi to go to the military department?"

Ning Yuezhao has now figured it out, the Ministry of War also has civilian jobs, if Qingchi insists on ignoring it, she can arrange a relaxed position for her, but she wants to hear Jiang Nian's thoughts.

Jiang Nian bent down to look at the wooden ladder still lying on the ground, and said casually, "Do you know how long it takes for a top scholar to get a qualification in the Imperial Academy before he can get a real job?"

Ning Yuezhao shook her head. In the past, she only read the paperwork presented by the official department, and rarely considered issues such as seniority.

Jiang Nian continued: "Let's talk about Feng Shiyang just now. She has been in the Imperial Academy for three years. It is still unknown when she will be appointed."

That's right, the imperial examination is held every three years, and there are countless students who pass the exam. In addition, there are countless children of Meng Zuyin who became officials.Even if it is a first-ranked scholar and a first-ranked scholar, there are still those who spend their entire lives in the Imperial Academy.

"I know you value the friendship with Qingchi and don't want her to work too hard, but have you ever thought that she also has her own ideals, since she is determined to work hard, if she has the ability, why not give her a chance?"

Now is the time when the two are ready to show their strengths. For those who are willing to serve the court, it is a good opportunity to show their talents.

Because Ning Yuezhao knew about Qingchi's younger brother before, she always felt guilty, and wanted to compensate the Taifu by being kind to Qingchi.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Nian couldn't help but suffocate from the bottom of his heart.The loss of the Yan family made her feel so guilty, if one day she really remembered everything, what would she think of him and the Jiang family?
