Chapter 85 Beauty Trap (3000 more [-] words)
"Stinky boy, you are Daddy's child, and I am your sister, so you can't afford it?" This stinky boy has the ability to make others angry, Shen Chuxia stared at him, and angrily went back to his room to sleep.

The man in black failed and returned, "Master, the man surnamed Ji is protecting that woman again, what should we do now?"

The masked man narrowed his eyes: "It seems that there is another way."

Gao Chen had just turned to the street of Huifu after he left the palace, when the carriage was stopped, and his entourage hurriedly came over and replied, "Master Hui, she is Mrs. Ying's girl."

He snorted coldly, leaned lazily against the carriage wall and closed his eyes to rest.

The entourage immediately understood what the master meant, and immediately turned around: "Tell your master, since you have found someone else, don't come to ask our master again." After finishing speaking, he waved his hands arrogantly, and the carriage started to leave.

The girl pursed her lips, turned around and went back to answer.

Gao Chen's attitude didn't surprise Yingya at all. Sitting on the cattail mat, holding a whisk in hand, she opened her eyes, "Mo Lan——"

"lady……"

"How is Hongluan recently?"

When Mo Lan heard this, she gloated, "She betrayed you and became the concubine of an unfavored official. The official surnamed Shen was arrested. She couldn't support her son. Now she married a lame man. , life is not easy."

Yingya said, "Go and see, if you let her come over to do something, it's also a kindness to her."

"Ma'am..." Mo Lan lost her composure and said in a loud voice, "What else do you use her for? Don't let her betray you again."

Yingya's face darkened, and she glanced at the girl.

Mo Lan was so frightened that her legs trembled and she knelt down, "Husband... Ma'am, this servant is really looking out for you."

Yingya withdrew her stern gaze and said leisurely, "Go, I have my own use."

"Yes, ma'am." Mo Lan got up cautiously and went out to make arrangements.

Bai Kou walked from the side of the altar to the master, "Ma'am, do you really want to stay in the capital?"

Yingya nodded, "Things have changed, we can't stay in Beijing."

"Ma'am, you didn't even worry about your Majesty's throne when the three kings rebelled, why now..."

Yingya stretched out her hand, but Bai Kou stopped, "Yes, ma'am."

She held the whisk in her hand, folded her hands together, and stared at the shrine. Originally, she could have waited quietly, but everything in the capital seemed to deviate from her expected direction.

Where did it start?Ji Chong's attitude towards her?His obsession with her seems to be slowly fading, is it because of that woman?On the other side of Paulownia Bieyuan, apart from her pair of exquisite and flawless hands, she is not bad looking, she is young and clean.

But who hasn't been young and clean?Yingya closed her eyes, and said in her mouth, the gods will bless her and let her enjoy all the glory and wealth without suffering.

In the past few days, Chu Liangjun has been running towards the barbecue stalls in the Zhouqiao Night Market as soon as he leaves the office. Like Shen Chuxia, he is sitting on a small climbing stool, watching people come and go, and chatting at the same time.

No, to be precise, he was asking for help.

"The deputy chief examiner sent by Mrs. Gao didn't listen to me at all. I couldn't intervene in the investigation of the examination questions and the address of the tribute examination."

"Then don't interfere."

Chu Liangjun was angry, "Then what's the point of asking me to be the chief examiner?"

"You mean to occupy the position of the chief examiner."

He was stunned for a while, then thought for a while, "Everything is manipulated by the old grand master, so the position of the examiner is not for nothing?" The more he talked, the more he got angry, thinking that he could do something practical for the students and the Wei Dynasty , I didn't expect it to be an empty shell in the end.

Shen Chuxia shook her head, "Master Chu, I think there is one thing you can do first."

"What's the matter?" Chu Liangjun asked casually in an empty shell, listless.

"Wei Xingchen was assassinated yesterday..."

"I've already visited him, but fortunately he was not injured, and he can still participate in the scientific examination."

Shen Chuxia rolled his eyes at him, "Master Chu, do you think you can defeat the Gao Group by yourself?"

Chu Liangjun suddenly seemed to understand something, "You mean the regent is not on my side?"

Shen Chuxia rested her chin with one hand, and tapped her leg with the other. Seeing the crowd, she was speechless. She understood why she even lost her official position.

But everything is justifiable. He was born in a poor family, and his vertical and horizontal dimensions determine his direction. Although he has been mixed up in the officialdom and the market, he has also grown a lot under the impact of the environment.

But some patterns and horizons need someone to broaden them. This is commonly known as a nobleman, or a guide.

Seeing that he hadn't figured out why, Shen Chuxia didn't let him think about it anymore, and said directly, "Wei Xingchen's assassination is an opportunity, you can coax his great Confucian grandfather into the capital."

"What? Coax..."

"Yes, Wei Daru once said that he would never set foot in the capital again, but his precious grandson suffered such a 'serious' injury, and his mantle is almost no longer inherited. Shouldn't he make an exception and enter the capital?"

"But..." What does this have to do with whether his chief examiner has real power?
"Master Chu, you have to eat every bite, and you have to walk step by step. Think about it carefully, why did you invite Wei Daru to Beijing." Shen Chuxia left the question and ignored him.

For some reason, Chu Liangjun really wanted to go to the prison of Dali Temple and ask his former colleague Shen Jinlin, what did her daughter mean by these words?
Shen Jinlin was imprisoned like an iron barrel by the regent Ji Chong. Of course he couldn't get in, and it was impossible for him to touch the regent's bottom line. Just when he was puzzled, Su Juesong came to him, and the officials of the Western Department saw him talking with him. The number one celebrity around the regent went to a restaurant for dinner.

"Shaoqing, His Highness supports Chu, we..."

Gao Chen pursed his lips in disdain, "There is someone backing Chu, don't you?"

"That's natural. The old grand master and the young minister are both the magic needles for lower officials." Bao Baoliang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites and deputy chief examiner, hurriedly bowed.

Gao Chen squinted over with a pair of slender and long red phoenix eyes, "Be clean with your hands and feet, if you are caught by Ji Chong's people, I won't protect you."

"Yes, yes, the lower officials know." Bao Baoliang smiled but didn't smile, he asked him to clean his hands and feet, but most of the money he got from greed went into the hands of their father and son.

In the restaurant, Su and Chu, who used to look up to each other, sat opposite each other, holding up their wine glasses and drinking separately, as if they didn't come together, but shared a table by chance.

Chu Liangjun put down his wine glass, "Master Su, please drink white wine if you have nothing to do!"

Su Juesong laughed mockingly, "Your Excellency Chu is really self-aware. Knowing that he didn't do anything for His Highness, he has no face to eat and drink for free in his restaurant."

"You..." Angrily, she wanted to leave.

Su Juesong took a sip of wine, picked up some food with chopsticks, and then said leisurely, "Did you go to see Miss Shen last night?"

Chu Liangjun couldn't understand the other party's smug face, and his tone was very aggressive: "Why do you ask if you know?"

Su Juesong smiled lightly, "Don't ask you? What kind of wine should I invite an official who was demoted by His Highness to drink?"

"You..." Chu Liangjun really got up and left, "I don't want to drink this wine anymore." After speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.

"Did you understand what Miss Shen said?"

"..." Chu Liangjun stopped and turned to look at him.

Su Juesong put down his wine glass and stroked his neat mustache, "She must have pointed you in the right direction, but you didn't understand, don't you need me to point you in the right direction?"

Chu Liangjun flicked his sleeves and walked away with great backbone, I will always figure it out, and I can't bear to look at others.

With such temperament, do you still want to make a big deal?Su Juesong shook his head and couldn't help laughing, he couldn't even figure out what his position was now, and how could he stretch himself in the future?
The attendant shook his head, "Master, why did you run him away in anger? If he is able to bend and stretch, how could he be demoted by His Highness?"

"If you can't bend or stretch, what good does His Highness want him to be?"

"Then why do you think Miss Shen pushed him to the position of chief examiner?"

Take a place?Su Juesong knew that Miss Shen's pushing hands were definitely not so straightforward.

He smiled and said, "I wanted to save some money for His Highness, but I didn't expect that the surname Chu is a piece of wood."

The entourage curled his lips, if he wasn't for the wood, Miss Shen would be at a loss, "Master, I heard that the idea that Miss Shen came up with when he redeemed Mr. Jiang was worth 1 taels. Could it be that His Highness wants to pay 1 taels of silver to complete the scientific examination?" Things?"

Su Juesong had a headache.

Logically speaking, this is doing things for the Great Wei, and Miss Shen should serve His Highness for free, but if she doesn't give money, Miss Shen will definitely refuse, and he has already thought of the reasons for her refusal—this is yours. What does a man's business have to do with her as a little lady.

Back at the Prince Regent's Mansion, Su Juesong admitted honestly, "Your Highness, I ran away with my surname Chu."

Ji Chong snorted coldly, "Sitting in the West Office, you can't even support a puppet, so what's the use of him."

"Your Highness, today I tried to speak with the surname Chu. Miss Shen should point him in the direction, but unfortunately he can't figure it out." He felt regretful.

Ji Chong frowned slightly, "Why don't you go to her directly?"

Su Juesong was suddenly aggrieved, and his Highness looked like you should know?

Ji Chong frowned even deeper, what should he know, and is there anything else he doesn't know?
"Your Highness—" Su Juesong was also afraid of the master's cold eyes, and hurriedly cupped his hands in salute: "Didn't I cheat her of 2000 taels?"

Ji Chong laughed, "Why did you lie to her for money?"

"She made 1 taels by using the relationship between me and Chu, and my subordinates can't stand it."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

From the day he met Ji Chong, Su Juesong had never seen him laughing with his head up. This was the first time he had met him. It turned out that His Highness smiled so vigorously, and he was much younger in an instant.

From birth to now, he has never laughed so wantonly. It turns out that the feeling of laughing out loud is like this, carefree and comfortable, as if everything is so interesting.

"Your Highness..."

Ji Chong also realized that he had lost his composure, and put his hand to his lips and coughed lightly: "Since she is already my guest, there is no harm in looking for her."

"Your Highness..." Su Juesong looked very embarrassed, "Miss Shen is a woman, she doesn't want to be promoted, she doesn't want to be famous, if she wanted to say it, she would have made it clear to Chu Liangjun, but she doesn't want to say it now, It's useless for me to find her."

Being in a high position, the emperor learned about the knowledge of the eyes, and Ji Chong immediately understood the meaning of his subordinates' words, and it was indeed the same. He said when he became his disciple-spend money to buy her ideas.

His Highness remained silent for a long time.

Su Juesong said cautiously, "How about, Your Highness, let's use a beauty trick as well?"
