Chapter 457 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 68 (End)
Ling Xi handed a cup of tea to Xi Guang, which made Xi Guang thank him repeatedly.

"Don't worry, Lord Jin. Shi Yi is my sister. No one can bully her. Liu Zixing is dead, so this engagement is no longer valid. If anyone dares to say anything in the future, let them come and talk to me."

Hearing Ling Xi's words, Yu Guang was completely relieved: "With your words, I feel relieved."

"However," Ling Xi changed the subject with a smile, which made Xi Guang's heart tense again.

"There is a good marriage proposal now. I wonder if you will accept it?"

Yu Guang asked tentatively: "I wonder what the princess is talking about?"

Ling Xi said, "The Third Master of the Southern Chen Army and General Hong Xiaoyu have a mutual affection for each other. They are in love with each other and have fought side by side. You see, they have affection and friendship as comrades. Isn't this a good match? What do you think, Master of the Southern Chen Army?"

Guang knew the feelings of the princess in front of him towards the Nanchen Palace, so he naturally did not think that this was a move to test him, but that she really wanted to do so.

The old fox thought for a moment and recalled that Zhou Shengchen had a close relationship with the princess, and she had lived with them in the Nanchen Palace for ten years. This relationship was inseparable.

If they could form an in-law relationship with the Nanchen Palace, it would be equivalent to forming an in-law relationship with Ling Xi, and then the Yu family would be able to take a step forward.

Even if he is gone in a few years, the Yi family will not fall because of this relationship.

Thinking of this, Yu Guang showed a happy expression and readily agreed: "This marriage is a very good one, thank you Your Highness."

Ling Xi smiled and said, "I will ask my brother to grant them a marriage. This is the first happy event since the fusion of the two countries, so it should be a lively occasion."

There was a gleam in Yu Guang's eyes. From what he said, it seemed that a big event was going to take place.

The prerequisite for a grand ceremony is to have an official position, which means that Your Majesty is going to grant Sanlang an official position, and the position is not low.

Guessing this, Guang became even happier.

This good mood only lasted until Ling Xi handed the imperial examination plan to him.

As Guang flipped through the plan for holding the imperial examination, he felt more and more bitter.

He is not a fool, it is impossible that he does not understand what is written in the plan.

The impact of this imperial examination on their family was indeed huge.

He said, no wonder the emperor was so kind to give Sanlang an official title, it turned out that he was waiting for him here.

Ling Xi held the hot tea, blew on it, and asked, "Does Mr. Yu have any questions?"

Guang felt bitter in his heart: "Your Highness, this imperial examination is...

If he announced the imperial examination, the aristocratic family would curse him to death.

Nowadays, most of the ministers in the court come from aristocratic families, and a few are recommended from below.

Therefore, the aristocratic families can maintain their superior status.

But once the imperial examination is implemented, the number of positions for aristocratic families in the court will probably be reduced by one third.

Ling Xi chuckled and said, "I know Lord Jin's concerns, so I gave Lord Jin full authority to organize the first imperial examination."

"In recent years, with the support of Longkang Academy, the imperial examinations have already started in the south, and the results are remarkable. We are already lagging behind."

"The only people in the north who have such influence among the literati are the Yi family. If Lord Yi doesn't take on this responsibility, who else can take on this important task?"

"Moreover, all the candidates who passed the first imperial examination were considered to be disciples of Master Yu."

"Longkang Academy has become a place that all scholars and candidates in the world want to enter because of the imperial examination. The Yi family also has an academy. Doesn't Lord Yi want the same thing?"

Ling Xi felt that he was painting a big pie for Guang, a pie that was big, sweet, and particularly attractive.

The imperial examination targeted the interests of all the aristocratic families, so Yu Guang was unwilling to do so.

But if this matter has no disadvantages for the Yi family, but only advantages, and can bring additional benefits, then what will Yi Guang consider is the interests of his own Yi family or the interests of other families?
How to choose? This is an obvious answer.

Everyone in the world is selfish, and no one will selflessly sacrifice their own interests for the benefit of others.

After a moment, Jin Guang accepted the plan for the imperial examination and bowed to Ling Xi: "I obey your command."

Ling Xi helped Yu Guang up: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Yu, with this matter."

"By the way, Lord Jin, I am planning to open a girls' academy, so please tell Madam Jin San and Madam Jin Si that I need their help."

Ling Xi smiled and lightly dropped another bomb on Xi Guang, which almost made Xi Guang faint.

Yu Guang barely managed to hold himself up, feeling dizzy.

A girls' college? That was unheard of.

Now that we are establishing a girls' academy, will women be allowed to take the imperial examinations in the future?
For some reason, Guang felt that Ling Xi had such a plan.

Isn't this a mess?

Guang really wanted to refuse, but when he saw Ling Xi's smiling but deep eyes, he keenly felt that this was not a good idea.

Finally, Guang compromised.

Whatever, let it be. Anyway, he is not the emperor, and this is not his family's throne. Why should he care so much? If women can really pass the imperial examination and enter the court, it can only mean that those men are useless and cannot even compare with women.

What's more, women like Sanniang and Si Niang are not much worse than men.

Thinking of this, Guang comforted himself again.

After returning, Xi Guang told Madam Xi San and Madam Xi Si what Ling Xi had said, and indeed received their surprised responses.

Then, the two of them showed expressions on their faces that he couldn't understand.

That look was like seeing a ray of hope, breaking through the sky and revealing the bright morning sun behind it.

After discussion, Xiao Wen decided to make Zhongzhou the capital.

The original capital of Nan Xiao looked good, but it was okay as the capital of Nan Xiao, but it was not suitable as the capital after unification. It was too far to the south and too far from the north. If something happened in the north, it would be too late to do anything.

Therefore, after discussing for a period of time, Xiao Wen rejected the opposition and decided to set the capital in Zhongzhou.

In order to accommodate the court officials coming from the south, Zhongzhou City was expanded by half after planning, and it is now very different from the previous Zhongzhou.

So, Zhongzhou has a new Princess's Mansion and a new Prince Nanchen's Mansion.

Half a year later, at the Nanchen Palace in Zhongzhou.

On this day, the Nanchen Palace was decorated in red, with people coming and going, and it was very lively and festive.

Ling Xi looked at Hong Xiaoyu, who was wearing a red wedding dress and had done her bridal makeup, and was so beautiful that it dazzled everyone's eyes, and said with a smile:
"Our General Hong Xiaoyu is so beautiful today. If General Li Feng saw her, he would probably be stunned. Shi Yi, don't you think so?"

Shi Yi smiled and nodded: "Senior sister will definitely make brother stare at her today."

Hong Xiaoyu's face turned red with embarrassment when he was teased like this.

She glared at Ling Xi and Shi Yi embarrassedly, but unfortunately, that glance was only charming and had no deterrent power at all.

"Here he comes, the groom is here."

Feng Qiao ran in hurriedly from outside, her pink skirt drawing a beautiful arc as she ran, which made Xie Yun, who was following behind her, very helpless. In the end, he could only smile dotingly.

Outside, Li Feng brought people to the lobby to welcome the bride.

Originally, the people he brought to welcome the bride should have been Zhou Tianxing, Xie Yun and others, after all, they were colleagues.

But they happened to be Hong Xiaoyu's family members, so they chose without hesitation to block the wind for Hong Xiaoyu outside the door.

Therefore, it seemed that Yifeng was particularly isolated and helpless. He could only lead his personal soldiers and several young masters from the Yi family's side branches to overcome many difficulties and defeat many generals just to win the beauty.

Hong Xiaoyu was carried out by Zhou Tianxing, Xie Yun and others, and then Zhou Shengchen personally handed her over to Li Feng.

"Yifeng, today I will hand Xiaoyu over to you. If you dare to let her suffer any injustice, my Nanchen Palace will definitely seek justice for her. Nanchen Palace always keeps its word."

Yifeng immediately promised Zhou Shengchen seriously, "Please let it go, Your Highness. Yifeng will protect General Hong for the rest of his life. If you break this oath, I will be tortured to death."

Zhou Shengchen bowed his head and told Hong Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, no matter where you go, Nanchen Palace will always be your home."

Hong Xiaoyu felt tears welling up in his eyes as he listened to his master's serious words.

It was the master who picked them up and gave them a home. Naturally, the Nanchen Palace will always be her home.

There are no elders in the Nanchen Palace, and Hong Xiaoyu has no parents, so Zhou Shengchen and Xie Chong acted as the elders and sat in the high hall.

After all, they are the two people with the highest seniority in the palace.

When Feng walked out of Nanchen Palace holding Hongchou, he was grinning like a fool, and looked unbearable to look at.

Ling Xi couldn't help laughing when she saw the cheap look on Li Feng's face.

Before he knew it, Zhou Shengchen had already rubbed against Ling Xi's side.

Because today was a happy event, Zhou Shengchen wore a red dress which was unusual for her. She looked so beautiful that Ling Xi was almost dazzled.

This made her look forward to how he would look in his groom's suit, which would surely look great.

Their wedding was scheduled for a year later despite Xiao Wen's repeated objections, and there was still plenty of time.

Suddenly, Ling Xi felt Zhou Shengchen holding his hand.

This hand is large and warm, giving people a sense of security.

Ling Xi looked up at him, and he happened to look down at the same time. Their eyes met, and there were smiles in both of their eyes, with tender affection flowing between them.

Ling Xi put her hand into Zhou Shengchen's hand and interlocked their fingers.

Under everyone's eyes, the two of them quietly held hands, which made Xie Chong, who accidentally saw it, feel embarrassed to watch.

Ling Xi held Zhou Shengchen's hand and looked up at the sedan chair going away.

She smiled brightly, and felt that even the air was filled with sweetness and happiness today.
