Chapter 160 Turn over and hit your face!

Jiang Shishi has a lower status than Tang's side concubine, so she doesn't break up with Tang's side concubine.

She just turned her head to look at Gu Meiren, "I want to ask Gu Meiren, if you make me unhappy, as Liang Di, do I have the right to expel you from the yard?"

"." I saw Gu Meiren nodded obediently, and echoed Jiang Shishi, "I have this right."

Although she was jealous of Jiang Liangdi, she was one level higher than her now, and could crush people to death.

Before, she was on the same level as Jiang Meiren, and Jiang Meiren dared to lift her with one hand when she became angry.

Now that she has become a good concubine, how can the designation be even more powerful?
She had thought it all over, in order to prevent Jiang Liangdi from retaliating against her, and to settle accounts with her, next she planned to be a man with her tail between her legs, without making any mistakes, and not giving Jiang Liangdi a chance to take revenge on her!
Gu Meiren is afraid of Jiang Shishi, but Tang's side concubine is not afraid, "Jiang Liang Di, one size counts for one size, you have now been promoted to Liang Di, but don't forget, before you bullied Gu Meiren, you were just a beauty."

"Gu Meiren, did I bully you?" Jiang Shishi's light questioning, in Gu Meiren's mind, was like a soul torture.

Gu Meiren shook her head again and again, saying no, "Tang side concubine, I didn't count myself at the time, always disturbing Jiang Liangdi, and always saying things that made her unhappy, so she got impatient and kicked me out of the yard, the main responsibility In me, not in her"

Concubine Ruan also said: "Since Gu Meiren has said this, then as I said before, they are all sisters of my own family. Let's all understand each other and let this trivial matter go."

Gu Meiren: "Yes, yes, let's forget it."

At this moment, Jiang Shishi finally understood one thing.

Why did the princes fight for the throne?
Because in this Dongliang country, rights are supreme!

As long as your status is high enough and the power in your hand is big enough, everything will bow to you, and everything you say is right.

How arrogant Gu Meiren was in front of her before, but now she is only one level higher than Gu Meiren, and Gu Meiren is as obedient as a bunny in front of her, completely different.

Not to mention how important power is to men.

Concubine Tang: "."

Gu Meiren, a bitch, begged her to punish Jiang Liangdi.

Now they are about to turn against each other, they go along with Concubine Ruan and Jiang Liangdi, and ask her not to punish Jiang Liangdi.

It's as if she is a villain, and she will not give up here!

At this moment, Concubine Tang was so angry that she held her breath in her chest, she couldn't get up, she couldn't get down, and she couldn't do it without taking some revenge.

Tang Concubine gritted her teeth and said: "Gu Meiren, since you disturbed Jiang Liangdi first, then you will be punished for a month of confinement, and in addition, you will not be allowed to visit anywhere in the future, it's annoying!"

"." Gu Meiren didn't expect Concubine Tang to take her anger out on her, but she didn't dare to say anything, so Weng Sheng replied, "Yes."

She is now the lowest in the East Palace, even if she wants to visit, she still has to look at other people's faces, there is no place for her to visit.

After giving the order, Tang side concubine left angrily with the maids and eunuchs.

Gu Meiren followed closely behind and left in despair.

Before leaving, Concubine Ruan said to Jiang Shishi: "Sister's promotion was too sudden, and I'm not prepared for it right now. I'll send some gifts over after I return to my residence."

Jiang Shishi repeatedly said no, but Concubine Ruan insisted on giving gifts.
He also said that a table will be set up in Zhuangzi at night, and his sisters will celebrate.

Concubine Ruan was so polite, Jiang Shishi personally sent Concubine Ruan to the door.

As for the three new maids and eunuchs in the courtyard, Jiang Shishi assigned them, and the eunuchs were used to guard the courtyard, sing reports and so on.

The two maids were used to clean and tidy up the yard, and Chun Xing was the only one close by.

That afternoon, Concubine Ruan sent someone to send a pair of red gold hairpins as a congratulatory gift.

Even if Tang's concubine hated Jiang Shishi, she sent someone to send a pair of golden hairpins to Jiang Shishi as a congratulatory gift. This is the rule.

At night, Concubine Ruan and Concubine Tang held a banquet together to celebrate Jiang Shishi.

In fact, it was the concubines of the Eastern Palace who gathered for dinner.

Gu Meiren was grounded, so she didn't participate.

Without Gu Meiren, the side concubine Tang could not do it alone.

Therefore, this dinner, Jiang Shishi ate quite comfortably.

**
At the end of June, seeing that the system of department will start at the beginning of next month, the prince and the Ministry of Rites are busy preparing for the system of department.

The Dongliang national system examination procedure is more cumbersome than the imperial examination, and there are many restrictions.

Those who take the system examination must have a letter of recommendation from a senior official before they can take the examination.

For ordinary people without fame and background, they need to go through layers of scrutiny by local officials.

Therefore, some people are happy and others are sad.

Some people with good family backgrounds and well-connected people are busy making connections and asking senior officials to recommend them for them.

An upright personality like Xue Mao has been an official in the Ministry of Rites for many years, so he has no connections at all.

"Brother Xue, I heard that this year there will be a compulsory examination called "Xianliang Founder Section". I think it is the most suitable for you. Have you signed up yet?" An official from the Ministry of Rites asked.

"Oh, don't mention it, I'm worrying about this matter." Xue Maozheng had this intention, but he had no one to recommend him.

"There's nothing to worry about. It's a big deal. If you don't save your face, buy some gifts for Mr. Shang Shu or Mr. Minister, and then say something nice and ask them. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"I, Xue Mao, would rather not take the compulsory examination than bow my head to beg for help!" It was impossible for him to lower his face and beg for help.

"Just be stubborn!" The colleague shook his head helplessly.

"Xue Mao, His Highness the Crown Prince is looking for you." At this moment, a colleague came over to send a message.

The crown prince is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and Xue Mao and the crown prince are both officials of the Ministry of Rites, and they have close contacts with each other.

When he arrived at the Prince's study, Xue Mao saw that the Prince was sitting in front of the desk, and Huang Dechang was fanning the Prince, so he could not help but ask, "Why is Your Highness looking for an official?"

Pei Xuanling didn't speak, but Huang Dechang handed Xue Mao a letter.

Xue Mao looked down, and saw "Recommendation Letter for the Examination of Virtuous Founder" written on the envelope.

He subconsciously wanted to pick it up, but finally withdrew his hand.

"Why, don't you want it?" Pei Xuanling asked.

"No." Xue Mao shook his head, "I want to."

Pei Xuanling: "Then why didn't you answer?"

"The lower official wants to take the compulsory examination, but the lower official only wants to do his own thing, and doesn't want to be restrained by others because of this matter." Xue Mao was not in a good mood, "But no matter what, thank you for your kindness, it's just that the lower official This kindness cannot be accepted."

Huang Dechang: "."

This Xue Mao really doesn't know how to flatter him.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave him a letter of recommendation, that is to think highly of him.

If it were someone else, they would be grateful, but Xue Mao was worried about being restrained by the prince. To put it bluntly, he was afraid of becoming a princeling.

Moreover, Xue Mao spoke too directly. No wonder he has been an official in the Ministry of Rites for many years and has no connections at all. It is difficult to participate in the system department!

Huang Dechang: "Since you don't want to have anything to do with His Royal Highness, then last time Jiang Chongjin's test paper was mixed with excellent essays, why are you so anxious to help His Highness take this matter?"

Xue Mao: "That's because I have wronged Your Highness once, and I want to make up for His Highness, other than that, there is no other meaning."

"Gu Ye just thinks that you are upright and upright, outspoken, in line with the 'virtuous founder' discipline, that's all."

Xue Mao was slightly pleased, "Your Highness, are you serious?"

"Whether it is promotion or recommendation of officials, Gu always looks at the other party's talents, not for my use."

Of course, if the opponent is from a hostile camp, he will naturally not intervene.

Huang Dechang: "Master Xue, do you still want this recommendation letter? If you don't want it, I will tear it up."

Really, as if he was afraid that His Highness would rely on him!

"Yes, I want!" Xue Mao took the recommendation letter, opened it and read it, only to find that the letter was recommended by Master Shangshu Song Fu.

Xue Mao asked with some surprise: "Why is this letter recommended by Mr. Song?"

"A few days ago, Song Fu asked Gu, saying that the Ministry of Rites had any suitable candidate for the department, so Gu just casually mentioned you, so he wrote this letter of recommendation."

An upright person like Xue Mao can't let Xue Mao get involved with him.

Otherwise, in the eyes of others, Xue Mao's integrity will be watered down.

Hearing this, Xue Mao carefully put the letter into his sleeve pocket, and kowtowed to the prince, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness."

**
Like Xue Mao, there is Jiang Chongjin.

I heard that this year there is a subject called "Xuan Jing Yin Yang", and he happened to have studied metaphysics, so he wanted to give it a try.

The main reason is that he saw clearly the current situation in the Hanlin Academy, and everyone excluded him because of his relationship with Kang Wang's father-in-law.

Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult for him to make a name for himself in the Hanlin Academy.

In addition, he is only a good scholar now, and he must pass the official assessment in three years before he can officially enter the Imperial Academy.

If you pass the system examination, you can enter the court as an official this year.

The imperial examination is held once every three years, and it is even more rare to make the imperial examination. Since he was lucky enough to have such an opportunity, he wanted to try it.

However, he was new here, and no one recommended him at all.

Although he knew the prince, he couldn't open his mouth.

After all, he and the prince only met once, and they didn't have much interaction.

He also didn't want to bother the prince, for fear of affecting Xiaoshi.

This afternoon, Jiang Chongjin left the office with a sad face.

When he was approaching the gate of his small house, he saw a man standing there in the alley.

At first he didn't see clearly, but after getting closer, he realized that the other party was Huang Dechang, who seemed to be waiting for him in the alley deliberately.

Huang Dechang: "Lord Jiang, long time no see."

"Eunuch Huang." Jiang Chongjin was a little surprised, how could Huang Dechang wait for him here, could he have something to do with him?

I saw Huang Dechang took out a letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Jiang Chongjin, "This is from His Royal Highness, the servant sent it to you."

Jiang Chongjin took the letter and looked at it. It was the recommendation letter he had been thinking about recently, and the recommender was the prince.

At this moment, the dim light shone on the letter, and it also shone on Jiang Chongjin's heart, allowing him to see the dawn of hope.

"I also ask Eunuch Huang to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on my behalf." Jiang Chongjin also warmly invited, "It is also hard for Eunuch Huang to make a trip, why don't you come to my house?"

"No, I still have something to do, so I'll go back to the East Palace first." Huang Dechang bowed to Jiang Chongjin, "I wish Master Jiang pass the examination!"

Lord Jiang is Jiang Liangdi's elder brother, no matter who wrote the recommendation letter, everyone has already regarded him as a princeling by default.

Therefore, this letter was written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself.

It was Jiang Liangdi who begged His Highness, that His Highness knew that Jiang Chongjin actually knew metaphysics.

**
At the beginning of July, the system exams begin!
However, the imperial court first examined the "virtuous founder".

After the pre-examination, court examination, palace examination, the results came out on the tenth day of July.

Xue Mao passed the preliminary test and the court test.

The palace examination is for those who participate in the system to give advice based on some social problems in front of Emperor Jianyuan.

Some people performed very well in the pre-examination and the court examination, but when they arrived at the palace examination, facing the majestic face of Emperor Jianyuan, they just didn't dare to speak out.

Xue Mao was different. Not only did he dare to speak out, even if Emperor Jianyuan Long Yan was unhappy, he still dared to continue to speak out.

This made Xue Mao stand out in the palace examination, and was promoted from being the head of the sixth-rank etiquette department for many years to a fifth-rank admonition doctor.

Because of the concentration of imperial power in the Dongliang Kingdom, Emperor Jianyuan neither wanted someone to seize power, but also wanted someone to give advice.

Next, the imperial court set the "Xuanjing Yinyang Section" on July [-].

On the day of the Hungry Ghost Festival, Pei Xuanling returned to the East Palace after paying homage to his deceased biological mother from the imperial mausoleum.

Huang Dechang waited on the prince to change into clean regular clothes, and handed the prince a letter, "Your Highness, this is a secret letter from the Seventh Prince secretly sent by a pigeon."

Ever since the Seventh Prince and Jiang Liangdi reached an agreement, the Seventh Prince knew to avoid suspicion and could not come to the East Palace frequently.

If it is not necessary, they are all sent by Feige.

Pei Xuanling took the envelope, sat down in front of the desk and opened it to look at it.

After reading it, he put the letter aside, "Huang Dechang, go and call Jiang Liangdi."

The prince suddenly summoned him late at night on the Ghost Festival. Although Jiang Shishi felt strange, she followed Huang Dechang to the prince's courtyard.
