Donggong Zhangjiao

In the next month, Pei Yao went smoothly in the previous court and was in a good mood.

First of all, it was the Shangyang Kingdom. After the deal with Lin Chan was reached, Pei Yao held down two letters of credence asking for guilt, and first sent people to rescue Lin Chan's biological mother who was imprisoned in the Shangyang Kingdom. At the same time, he also allocated He hired a secret guard for Linchan and quietly escorted her back to Shangyang Kingdom.

Everything went smoother than expected, of course, because Lin Chen, the king of Shangyang Kingdom, was too confident.

Lin Chan's biological mother was not imprisoned and was guarded. She was just imprisoned in the cold palace of Shangyang Kingdom.

Indeed, which king of a country would specially send someone to guard such a woman who has fallen out of favor and is old and powerless.

Even though I was still wary at first, it has been a few years now and I have become more relaxed.

After all, the life or death of Lin Chan's biological mother is actually not that important. Even if she is dead, Lin Chan, who is far away in Daqi, doesn't know that the Lord of Shangyang can still use lies to take advantage of Lin Chan.

So when the guard of Leng Palace from Shangyang Kingdom came to report that the person was dead, Lin Chen just frowned and ordered the body to be disposed of, and then ordered the person to keep his mouth shut and not to reveal the news to the outside world.

In fact, Lin Chan's biological mother just faked her death and was quietly rescued not long after.

When mother and daughter met, they were at the northern border. Huo Mingxuan was ordered to keep an eye on them personally. This time, he was also responsible for rescuing people in the cold palace of Shangyang Kingdom.

Now Pei Yao trusts him very much.

Lin Chan couldn't help crying, but she also knew that Pei Yao was more trustworthy than Lin Chen. If her mother came to Da Qi, her life would at least be better than when she was in Shangyang Kingdom.

After only meeting for two hours, the mother and daughter were forced to separate again.

Lin Chan grabbed her mother's hand and promised with red eyes, "Mom, I will definitely take you back to reunite!"

"Mom believes in you. It's just Chan'er. Mom is not afraid of death. If you can't hold on any longer, just leave her alone. I'll be satisfied if I can see you again in my lifetime!" His mother also shed tears.

But now the two of them have no decision-making power about their whereabouts and future, and they can only comfort each other and then separate in a hurry.

If Lin Chan hated Pei Yao or the people of Da Qi, it wasn't much. What she hated more was Lin Chen, the king of Shangyang.

The one who used her as a tool and took advantage of her weakness to force her to come to Daqi to be a plaything clown.

In particular, Lin Chen broke her trust with him and killed her favorite sixth brother.

It is true that the friendship between the two people is not something that can be tolerated in the world, but it is also truly affectionate.

After gathering these emotions, Lin Chan had already set a goal in her heart from the moment she stepped into Shangyang Kingdom.

The late emperor of Shangyang Kingdom had many heirs, and the rules were different from those in Daqi. As long as they were born, they were included in the ancestral temple. Unlike the royal family of Daqi, they had to wait until the child reached one year old before they could be placed on the jade plate, in order of teeth.

Therefore, the princes and princesses of Shangyang Kingdom were ranked separately for men and women, and the living and dead were added together. Linchan was already the fifteenth princess, and the prince was also ranked as the thirteenth prince.

With so many people, it was naturally impossible for Lin Chen to kill them all. He had to keep a few, and among them was the person Lin Chan wanted to find.

The former tenth prince, now Prince Ping.

Concubine Yin, the biological mother of the sixth prince Lin Cong, chose to support the tenth prince, who had lost his biological mother, to ascend to power after the sixth prince was captured. She planned to use a puppet emperor to control the government and try to bring back her own son.

However, Concubine Yin failed to fight against the empress and Lin Chen's mother and son. Later, when Lin Chen ascended the throne, to show her generosity, she not only did not kill her younger brother, the tenth prince, but also gave him the title of prince.

This was naturally because Lin Chen felt that the tenth prince was incompetent and mediocre and not worth fearing.

But Lin Chan made up his mind to let Prince Ping take away everything Lin Chen had. Pei Yao didn't know whether she could succeed, but he acted according to the plan. After Lin Chan entered the territory of Shangyang, he issued a letter of credence to question the king of Shangyang for Lin Chan's crime of regicide in the harem of Da Qi.

The arrival of this letter made Lord Shangyang extremely angry.

He didn't expect that Lin Chan not only failed, but was also completely exposed.

But now was not the time for a head-on confrontation with Da Qi, not to mention that it was Shangyang State who was in the wrong, so he had no choice but to follow the hints in the credential and reluctantly give out a number of benefits.

Little did he know that the incompetent sister who made him angry was already meeting Prince Ping in private in the capital of Shangyang Kingdom.

Of course, these are all matters of Shangyang Kingdom. Now that Daqi has benefited, the most important thing is that the scientific examination is over.

This is another thing that makes Pei Yao happy.

This imperial examination selected many talents. During the palace examination, it was so grand and grand that Pei Yao almost had difficulty deciding who would win the title of No. [-] Scholar.

In the end, the one who came out on top was a poor student from the north named Jiang Xinzhuo. However, the second best candidate was still a child of a scholarly family.

After all, educational resources are different. After all, it is reasonable for children from wealthy families to have better learning conditions and do well in exams.

But speaking of it, Tanhua Lang is also the Queen's direct cousin, named Lu Qian.

In fact, the literary talents of the top three are almost the same. He chose Jiang Xinzhuo as the number one scholar. Pei Yao's selfish intention was to encourage students from poor families and to express his attitude of rejecting the aristocratic family's monopoly on the court.

Then the choice between No. [-] and No. [-] overall pick was done as usual. Lu Qi'an was good-looking.

It turns out that Lu Qian is the eldest son of the third wife of the Lu family, and his father is the queen's third uncle, Lu Feng. Lu Feng has been working as an official in other places. Lu Qian also grew up in other places, so he has been known to the ladies in the capital during these years.

Now that Pei Yao has selected her as the third flower, she has shown her face in the capital, and she has become the dream lover of many ladies in an instant.

Privately, Fang Yun even joked with Pei Yao, saying that the number of ladies who used to stare at Sylvia Yunxiao could be reduced now.

Speaking of this, Ye Yunxiao is not married yet, but his family has been urging him this year. He doesn't listen and hides in the military camp. He stays in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion all day long and does not go back.

Liu Qin also asked. He said that he couldn't bear Huo Mingxuan to suffer the pain of being single in northern Xinjiang. Liu Qin just got married and he had to accompany Huo Mingxuan.

Of course, Pei Yao still wasn't that concerned about the marriages of his courtiers. This time the scientific examination reminded him of Princess Shuhui.

After the New Year this year, Pei Yao went north to investigate the case, drafted the draft, cleaned up the harem, and now that the scientific examination is over, Pei Yao has been in a continuous cycle. During this period, he took part in the birthday party of the fifth prince, the legitimate prince, and the others, whether it was the sixth princess's The full moon banquet was still Princess Shuhui's wedding, so Pei Yao didn't worry much and only rewarded things according to the rules.

Now that I have some free time, it just so happens that in this scientific examination, Princess Shuhui's consort, Zheng Pei, the son of the Zheng family, also did very well in the examination and ranked among the top. It also reminded Pei Yao of his sister's wedding and that he was his elder brother. There are still some areas that have not been done well.

Therefore, when assigning an official position to Zheng Pei, he also named Princess Shuhui the eldest princess and received many rewards.

It also showed that he valued this sister, so that when the Zheng family was with Mu Huangen, they should not think that they were powerful and dare to look down on the princess.

But this is too much to worry about, because now the young couple Zheng Pei and Princess Shuhui are still in the midst of their wedding.

In short, so many things happened, and before I had a long rest, it was winter and the New Year again.

A grand palace banquet was held on New Year's Eve. After the hustle and bustle, the first month of the new year passed by in a flash, and the Lantern Festival arrived in the blink of an eye.
