Molested Zulong at the beginning

The two sat in front of the desk, watching the cherry blossoms falling in the courtyard and the ripples in the pool, hugging each other tightly and kissing from time to time.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The view here is excellent, looking up through the window, you can see the majestic Xianyang Palace in the distance.

Hu Tan, who was snuggling in Bai Su's arms, was a little dissatisfied, and pouted his small mouth slightly, and his mischievous little hand actually penetrated into one of his pairs, scratching the familiar muscles of Bai Su's chest.

Chapter 280 The fourth black thread is not important, the main reason is that I can't get used to it

Bai Su patted Hu Tan's little hand, pointed to the maid who walked past the window from time to time, and said in a low voice: "This is not allowed here, maybe someone will come and be seen in a while."

Hu Tan pursed his mouth, and gave Bai Su a dissatisfied look with his strange eyes.

Since the two got married, she hasn't been this close to Bai Su for a long time.

After all, Bai Su, as a great leader, has a lot of government affairs on his shoulders, and he has to meet missions from foreign countries at every turn, or go to other places to treat smallpox and so on.

Now that Xiao Biesheng is newly married, they finally got along for a while, and they still refused to give in to anything, which made her feel dissatisfied for a while.

After all, she married the husband-in-law based on her ability, so why wouldn't she let herself touch him.

Seeing her cute expression that she couldn't ask for more, Bai Su couldn't help but a smile appeared on his face.

He stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around the girl's waist, and gently stroked her soft back with his big hands, comforting her gently.

However, while Bai Su was lying in his arms holding Hu Tan, comforting him, a strange question couldn't help popping up in his mind.

Right now, Sister Zheng is pregnant, and when she gives birth to an heir in the future, what will Hu Tan call herself?

She calls her father, and she calls her madam, do they each have their own names?

Hu Tan's slender fingers slid and slid on Bai Su's chest.

She raised her head, looked at Bai Su with strange eyes, and asked, "What are you thinking, so distracted?"

Bai Su came back to his senses, looked at the girl in his arms, and couldn't help but sneered: "No...it's nothing, I was just wondering why you wanted to compete with Fu Su for the crown prince, don't you hate those tedious government affairs the most? ?"

Hu Yan curled his lips: "Of course it's to win over Fusu."

Bai Su asked curiously, "Do you hate her that much?"

Hu Yan paused with his fingers sliding on Bai Su's chest, and after a long pause, he said, "It's not so much hate as jealousy."

"Jealous... Jealousy, are you kidding me?"

When Bai Su heard this, a strange look appeared on his face.

After all, everyone knows that Sister Zheng dotes on her the most on weekdays.

Whether it is a magnificent mansion or various royal objects in the palace, her share is indispensable.

In comparison, Fu Su was almost picked up from the street.

Even though she is the princess of today, her life is extremely simple, she wakes up early every day, reads and practice calligraphy, and reads a hundred classics, let alone going out to play on weekdays, she can't rest for a few days all year round.

What's more, Sister Zheng has strict requirements on her.

Just for making some trivial mistakes, Zheng Jie will strictly criticize her, and punish her for facing the wall and thinking about her mistakes at every turn.

She has nothing to be jealous of.

Hu Yan looked out of the window with strange eyes, and a rare look of loneliness appeared on his face: "Mother seems to control me easily, but in fact, I'm afraid it's because in Mother's heart, I'm afraid she has given up on me."

"Fusu has been appointed as the successor, that's why Fusu is so strict on weekdays."

"Whether it's my mother or the ministers in the court, all of them only have Fusu in their eyes, and they don't take me seriously at all, which makes me very unwilling..."

"Therefore, no matter what, I have to beat her. I want my mother to see that Bi'er is no worse than Fu Su..."

Bai Su looked at the sad girl in his arms, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Hu Yan and Fu Su, two sisters, are jealous of each other, one is envious of the other's status in the eyes of the mother, the affirmation of talent and ability, the attitude of the ministers in the court, and the ability to hold power in the future.

One is envious of the other party, who can easily enjoy the doting of the mother and adults, without restraint, without having to carry a burden from childhood, strictly demanding oneself, and being cautious in words and deeds.

Perhaps, this is the fate of being born in the emperor's family.

Hu Yan raised his head, staring at Bai Su closely: "So, this time, you must help me win against Fu Su."

Bai Su looked at her as if she was about to fight to the end with her sister, and couldn't help but have a strange expression on her face.

He really couldn't bear to tell Hu Yun that Sister Zheng didn't take her contest with Fu Su seriously.

Sister Zheng just wanted to take this opportunity to let the two of them establish their prestige and temporarily supervise the government for a year, just to prevent the ministers from discovering that the empress was pregnant by accident, which would damage the reputation of the royal family.

But facing the girl's piercing eyes, he couldn't refuse, so he nodded.

Seeing that Bai Su agreed, Hu Yan suddenly had a smile on his face.

Sure enough, my husband loves me the most.

Like a little daughter-in-law, she helped Bai Su straighten the folds of her clothes with her small hands, and looked at Bai Su with a smile: "How are you going to help me?"

Bai Su stroked his chin, pondered for a long time, and asked, "What do you think about the imperial examination?"

"Hall examination?" Hu Yan was taken aback.

Bai Su nodded, and said: "The people who participated in the palace examination are all outstanding people with high school achievements. In order to test them, His Majesty will definitely ask some questions about state governance."

"While testing the abilities of these scholars, I will definitely ask you and Fu Su what opinions you will have."

"If you are able to recommend strategies better than Fusu under the watchful eyes of civil and military officials, then you can naturally establish your reputation in the hearts of His Majesty and all officials, and it will not be a problem to temporarily take over the government at that time."

After hearing Bai Su's words, Hu Yan was mixed with joy and worry.

The good news is that as long as she wins Fusu in the imperial examination, her lord mother will give her the right to supervise the government. At that time, even if the officials don't want to, they won't say anything.

The worry is that this impromptu play on national policy is not her strong point.

She knows more about the brewing of wine, the structure of a compass, and the materials used in papermaking.

After all, she often followed Bai Su's side and gave her all kinds of strange things to play with. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, she knew a lot of things in the Shaofu very well.

In addition, she was often punished by her mother for copying the laws of Daxia, so she can be regarded as fluent in this aspect.

But if she was asked to put forward her opinion on the national policy of Great Xia in a short period of time, she really didn't know how to answer it for a while.

After pondering for a long time, Hu Tan slowly raised his head and fixed his gaze on Bai Su.

Bai Su's eyelids twitched: "This is His Majesty's assessment of you, I can't help you."

Hu Yan rolled his eyes, approached Bai Su's ear, and said in a low voice: "If you help me defeat Fu Su, then I will show you my clothes tonight."

Bai Su shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that it's inconvenient for me to make a move in front of His Majesty. If His Majesty gets angry, I will inevitably be punished at that time. Besides, I am a good man, how can I use public favors for personal gain?" Woolen cloth."

Hu Yun's fair and pretty face was flushed with a blush, and he said in a low voice, "Then... well, I asked the cloth shop to make me some black silk for suspenders and white silk with patterns, don't you want to see this too? "

"Ahem...heisi is not important. I mainly want to see if my sister-in-law is not used to bullying my wife. Okay, let me help you with this palace exam."

Bai Su coughed lightly, and spoke righteously.

Hu Yan: "..."

It is agreed not to favor the public for personal gain.

Chapter 280 As long as the hoe is well swung, there is no corner that cannot be dug

The next day.

The imperial court released the list.

There are four great happy events in this life, rain after a long drought, meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country, wedding night in the bridal chamber, and the time of being named on the gold list.

This is even more so in today's Great Xia. For those imperial examination scholars, it is a dream for many people to be able to be named on the gold list one day.

Not only does it mean that the ancestors are honored, but it also means that the future has a bright future.

Daxia's current territory is not limited to the Central Plains. The Beiting Protectorate covers most of the Monan Grassland, and the Western Region Protectorate controls the entire Western Region. It is the time when there is a shortage of talents.

Once you pass the imperial examinations and leave your name on the assessment list in Xianyang, you will not only be able to be an official in the Central Plains in the future, even if you want to go to the Western Regions, Beiting Dufu Mansion to work, the house, land, cattle, and various court benefits It is indispensable.

The Beiting Protectorate and the Western Region Protectorate are all based on army building. In terms of folk customs and fighting, it can be described as a tough comparison, and no one is afraid of it.

But when it comes to talents with governance ability, compared with the Central Plains, it lacks too much.

After all, laying down a territory is not just about planting a banner.

It is also necessary to establish an effective household registration system, livestock, land verification, how to formulate taxes, and so on.

You can't expect that group of big-headed soldiers who don't know a single character to deal with internal affairs.

Therefore, the great talents who can leave their names on the Xianyang imperial examination list are naturally greeted as treasures.

If you can win the top three, it will be even more incredible.

Among these people, dragons and phoenixes will go to participate in the palace examination, which will be tested by His Majesty the First Emperor himself. At that time, the top talents will either be left in the prosperous Xianyang, or sent to some counties and counties.

Go to practice for three to five years, and gradually give real power according to political achievements, and then promote and reuse.

It can be said that no matter what the choice is, it is a bright future.

Under such a mentality, when the imperial court released the list, many people gathered here for a while.

In addition to the scholars who re-examined, there were also a large number of people watching the excitement.

"I'm coming."

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the gate of the courtyard opened slowly, and the officials holding the list posted the list of achievements on the wall.

Immediately there was a surge of people around.

"Don't squeeze, you stepped on my shoes."

"leave me alone……"

"..."

Relying on his flexibility, Chen Ping easily squeezed ahead.

The people around were pushing and shoving each other, it was extremely crowded, and even a few shoes could be seen on the ground, but it was not known who belonged to them.

Her eyelids trembled involuntarily, and she looked up after standing still.

I followed the names on the list all the way, looking at them one by one, but I couldn't see my name for a long time.

This made her feel a little disappointed, but she soon regained her balance. The world is full of talents. Although she is conceited that she is a genius, she has not reached the idea of ​​being proud of her talent, being the first child in the sky, the second child in the earth, and her third child.

It's just that she felt a little bit disappointed, she thought she did well in the imperial examination questions, even if she didn't make it to the top [-], she should have a place among the [-].

"boom."

"Ouch."

Chen Ping clutched his forehead, his fair forehead was already a little red and swollen, and his slender black eyebrows were furrowed.

Just now a person squeezed over from behind and just bumped into her.

The visitor was tall and slender, with straight waist, sharp eyebrows and eyes, extremely handsome, dressed in a white robe, he looked chic and elegant.

At this time, the young man was looking at her apologetically: "Sorry, I didn't see it just now."

Chen Ping looked at the laughing look of the young man, and couldn't help frowning: "You frivolous person, you are really rude."

After hearing her words, the young man was not angry, but asked with a smile: "I see you stared at the list for a long time, what do you call it?"

Chen Ping's eyes like autumn water froze for a moment, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "My lower Chen Ping is a native of Weidi."

"What... what, you are Chen Ping?"

There was a trace of surprise on the young man's face, and he looked at her curiously.

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "It is indeed Chen Ping, why are you looking at me like this, but is there something dirty on my face?"

"No...it's nothing. I just heard that the leader of the high school is Chen Ping. I didn't expect to meet him by such a coincidence."

The young man smiled and pointed to the list.

"The leader?"

Chen Ping raised his white jade hands, and the black hair between his brows looked in the direction of the young man's fingers.

"No.17, Wang Fugui."

"No.8, the manor."
