"There's no need for any tests today, no need to be nervous, we've already decided to let Prime Minister Qi set the questions himself. After all, in the future, all of you will be working together for the country, so we can get to know each other better and let him test everyone's truthfulness. The Empress and I are waiting to see everyone's performance."
"Your Majesty the Emperor! Long live and long live our Emperor! Long live the Empress! Long live and long live the Emperor!"
Qi Ziheng looked at the person on the seat of honor helplessly. He knew this person would kick the ball at him. Luckily, he was already prepared.
"Everyone, take today's situation as your topic and use the empress's achievements as your background to write a letter each. You'll hand in your papers in two hours!"
"Someone, please write and let us enjoy the literary talent of these scholars on the spot."
Dongfang Ning looked at the thirty people silently. Among them, one of them was the one recommended by Yan Wuzhan himself, the one who came late for the examination, Lu Chengzong. Was this person really a descendant of Madam Lu?
"Ning'er, what did you think of?"
"I don't know either. I just feel that there's something wrong with that Lu Chengzong. Naturally, there's nothing to say about his character …" But what is the problem? "
"Ning'er, don't even think about it. We can talk about other things after the wedding. Now, there are officials, and you and I can look at the world from the palace. In my opinion, we can sleep peacefully for ten years."
"I hope so. I also want to live a quiet life for a few days. Ever since I came to this world, I haven't had a good rest. If it's not this matter all day, then it's that matter …" "So annoying."
"You've suffered so much!"
"Perhaps this is my mission to this world. Right, why haven't I seen Little Red during this period of time?"
Qi Ziheng saw the empress dowager talking and laughing from afar. He had mixed feelings and finally felt relieved. It was good that she was happy, so why did he keep pestering her?
"Recruit Huangfu City. If these people have the ability to escape, they will have the ability to keep hiding their true strength, and now that the people's hearts are with you, the world won't be so easily overturned. I think over and over again, I still have to arrange a new marriage for those women in the harem.
"We'll listen to Ning'er!"
"Aren't you afraid that your nine words will be ridiculed by the world?"
"My family's Ning'er is the best ~"
Yan Wuzhan held her hand tightly and looked at her affectionately. As long as she was happy, not to mention going against his will, he would be willing to give her his head.
"You really aren't afraid of spoiling me!"
"You have a kind nature, how bad can you be?"
The two of them seemed to have endless words to say, completely unaware of how envious they were of their tender feelings for each other.
"Tomorrow, we will organize a celebratory feast for these students and let all the ladies in the palace participate. I have something to tell them, invite all the unmarried young masters that I can."
"Your husband obeys the decree!"
As expected, Faang Yi was chosen to be the top scholar, while the other two were ranked according to the rankings. In the afternoon, Faang Yi was tied up with a red silk cloth.
Faang Yi kept looking back at where Dongfang Ning was, tears in his eyes. He had finally found the day when he could finally bring glory to the Fang family's ancestors. It was a pity that his parents could no longer see him …
His sister was closer to him than her kin, and he knew that Dongfang Ning was not the same Dongfang Ning as she used to be. At the very least, she was not her soul. It was Dongfang Ning's soul that had saved him.
Otherwise, he and his mother would have long been tortured to death by his aunt to death on the Shan Yang Mountain. He swore in his heart: "Mother, I will make sure that the people of this world no longer harm their family for the sake of a single bite.
"Faang Yi has grown up. I'm afraid that he has too much temper, so I can't find a wife. What should I do?"
"Don't worry about that, excellent people will naturally get married and come knocking. Don't you think that I …"
"Are you serious?"
"Ning'er, let's go back to our room, Zhen …" Because she was pregnant, he basically didn't dare to touch her. Sigh ~ How long would this brat take advantage of his wife?
"Mm, let's go back. Don't tell me I'm really sleepy. Recently, I've been feeling sleepy …"
"…"
Yan Wuzhan asked the heavens in a speechless manner. It was too unfair, could it be that the newlyweds had to sleep separately? Since when did this brat come here?
After returning to the Phoenix Perching Palace realm, he placed Dongfang Ning on the bed and sat there silently for a long time.
"What made your face so dark?"
"I ~"
Hugging her in his arms, he made her sit on him. He brought her lips up to his and kissed her neck, letting her feel the swelling in some place …
"Stop ~"
Dongfang Ning's heartbeat quickened. Her body at this time seemed to be even more sensitive than before, unable to bear the temptation. She pushed him away, then snuggled into the blanket with a red face and said with a cat-like voice, "It will take at least two months before you can move around freely. Not yet!"
Two months?
It meant that he would be fine after the second month of pregnancy. Yan Wuzhan added in his brain automatically and obediently went to work. If he was willing to wait another two months, he would be fine for another half a month … His motivation returned.
On the second day, the Da Ann Nation Queen initiated a "gathering" for the first time. She wanted these future officials to get acquainted with the women in the palace and at the same time allow them to choose a man to marry to themselves. Otherwise, they could only marry according to Yan Wuzhan's wishes.
Therefore, all the beauties today paid great attention to their appearance and dressed themselves beautifully …
"I feel that this method is really fresh. You can choose your own husband. Just thinking about it makes me happy, hehe ~"
Of course he was happy. Just think about it, in ancient times, when a woman could decide who she wanted to marry. It was usually her parents that married who they wanted to marry. When did they ever have the right to choose?
"Esteemed Empress Dowager has arrived ~"
"We pay our respects to the empress dowager ~" All the girls hurried forward to pay their respects. They no longer dared to dream about Yan Wuzhan. Now, all they could do was to brighten up their eyes and find a good man.
"Stand up, stand up, look at each of them, they really are like flowers and jade. It's a pity that Zhan doesn't have this luck. You guys have to watch carefully today, don't let those young masters look down on us."
"Empress ~"
The girls blushed, as if not marrying Yan Wuzhan wasn't painful at all. After thinking it through, they became relaxed.
In fact, who would be willing to be treated like an item to be married off to someone else just to give their family status and power? In reality, they were living a good life and no one cared about them at all.
"Let's go. In the imperial flower garden today, the empress has a new way of playing. Let's go together!"
