The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 473

On the flower platform of the Royal Garden, Sheng Yuan, An Yu, and Lu Sheng sat in a row, raising their heads and sighing.

What Cen Sanfu did gave them a clearer understanding of how to bend and stretch.

"There are so many thick-skinned people in the world, why can't I be one of them!" Lu Sheng, who was the calmest, couldn't help but sigh.

Sheng Yuan couldn't help but look sideways: "Brother Sheng, so you still have this pursuit!"

Lu Sheng looked at the two swaying their calves as if they were all right, and suddenly felt that he had grown up too fast.

Seeing that he was gloomy, An Yu thought it was because they were worried that they would offend the elders of the court, and someone would stumbling them in their careers in the future, so she comforted him and said, "Don't worry, when we enter the Hanlin Academy, this person can't say it." We have already retired, we never really had that grudge against him, and he will leave his connections to his descendants, so he will definitely not care about us."

"..." Seeing his earnestness in persuasion, Lu Sheng didn't know whether to tell him that he was thinking too much, or simply appreciate it.

Seeing him in trouble, Sheng Yuan couldn't help giggling: "Brother Yu, you think too much. Brother Cheng, like you, has a title. Why do you care about official positions? What's more, he is determined to join the army. Cen Sanfu No matter how careful you are, it's hard to control the army!"

In the Yan, Chen, and Chu dynasties, the cabinet was never allowed to intervene in specific military affairs and personnel changes. These were directly connected with the Minister of the Ministry of War, and then the Minister of the Ministry of War was directly responsible to the emperor.

An Yu asked Sheng Yuan to remind her like this, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, scratched her head, blushed, and laughed at Lu Sheng: "I just forgot!"

Lu Sheng didn't care about such a small matter, so he waved his hand.

Here they mentioned Cen Minzhou, and on Cen Minzhou's side, they went back to sit in the North Hall of Classics where the cabinet works.

It was his turn to rest today, but he suddenly appeared here, everyone was surprised.

Cen Minzhou knew that if he didn't say anything now, his colleagues would hear about it later, so he shook his head with a wry smile, and told the absurd things that happened in the morning.

The current Chief Assistant Yan Yuan opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Yuanhang has always been gentle, why are you fussing with those three children now?"

Cen Minzhou sighed lowly: "The lower officials are often irritable recently. Just now, I stumbled over a few words with Zhuo Jing, and when I went out, I saw three students wearing academy uniforms wandering around. I thought it was some student playing truant, so I just said a few more words... say It was because the lower officials were old and dim-sighted that they didn't recognize these three."

Second assistant Gu Chengyun listened with a slight smile: "Master Cen cherishes talents, but this method is a bit too rough... Ask them their names, see the badges on their academy uniforms, and remember their age, appearance and height; Go to their academy to report that someone has changed their name to educate them, so why bother doing it yourself?"

Cen Minzhou smiled apologetically: "It's true that the lower officials didn't think well."

Yan Yuan closed the notebook and looked up at him with a smile: "Since the emperor doesn't care about it, don't pay too much attention to Yuan Hang, you should take a rest today, you should go back early and have a rest."

Cen Minzhou didn't refute, just said slowly and returned.

These superiors talked lively, and the co-organizers who were watching from below couldn't help but look at each other.

They were all looking forward to getting off duty soon so that they could inquire about Cen Sanfu's activities.

……

When Cen Minzhou walked out of the imperial city, his mouth became more and more bitter.

He glanced in the direction of Cen's mansion, and went back with some resistance.

"Master Cen!"

Hearing this call, Cen Minzhou trembled in stress.

He wanted to turn a deaf ear to it, but the other party was running extremely fast, and before he could shake him off, the other party had already stopped in front of him: "Master Cen, stop!"

"Master Guan." Cen Minzhou looked at Guan Qi, one of the famous six difficult censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and returned the salute with depression.

There is no way, this person is not only Zuodu Yushi, but also a direct branch of his in-law Guan family.

Ever since the three daughters insisted on scientific research, the husband of the Guan family, who works in the capital, has started to make trouble for him. This time, he specially came to call him, I'm afraid it will make things difficult again.

……

Sheng Yuan looked at Sheng Han who hadn't seen him for many years, feeling a little dazed for no reason.

This cousin looks different from before.

"Sister Yuan, would you be willing to move to the flower pavilion, let's catch up with each other?" Sheng Han didn't expect to meet Sheng Yuan so easily, and while he was slightly happy, he tried hard to think about how to persuade her.

"It's not going to happen today, the Queen Mother is calling me over!" Sheng Yuan refused without thinking.

What she said was also true, just now the female officials from the Compassionate Ning Palace came to look for her, but the emperor called them over again, which delayed the time of the past.

Of course, if it wasn't this cousin who was standing in front of her, but someone else, Sheng Yuan would have to show some face and save some time for talking enthusiastically.

Unfortunately, it was Sheng Han who made the request.

Sheng Yuan was inexplicably wary of her.

"Are you going to the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility?" Sheng Han didn't feel embarrassed about being rejected, instead he clapped his hands and said with a smile, "That's great, I also wanted to go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, and we just happened to be together."

Sheng Yuan took a step back silently.

Sheng Han pretended not to notice, and said enthusiastically: "Before, I was taken care of by Concubine Wen, and I was very comfortable in Tai'an Palace. Before leaving the palace, Concubine Wen specifically told me to pay her respects to the Queen Mother on her behalf. Since Concubine Wen left the palace, I have troubled the Empress Dowager to take care of my affairs in Tai'an Palace, so I also have the heart to go to pay my respects."

She had a good reason for what she said, but Sheng Yuan wanted to laugh when she heard it.

Since it was under the care of the Empress Dowager, why didn't she move to the Palace of Compassion?
It can be seen that this person speaks very watery.

Sheng Yuan moved out of the way: "Since Sixth Sister is going to the Palace of Compassion, please invite her first! The Empress Dowager always likes to be quiet, it's too noisy for us to go there together, I'll just go there later!"

"Does Ninth Sister intentionally distance herself from Elder Sister?" Sheng Han's smile faded, "The Empress Dowager is happy to be quiet, and Elder Sister is not a noisy person, why is it noisy when there are more younger sisters?"

"I'm afraid Sixth Sister has misunderstood." Seeing that she insisted on going with him, Sheng Yuan became more suspicious of the other party's purpose.

In the past in Duke Sheng's mansion, when this person saw her, he wished he could bypass her. Could it be that after entering the palace for a long time, he could even love people he didn't like?
Sheng Yuan judged others by himself, and shook his head, afraid that the courteous would ask for something from others.

She didn't think she had anything worthy of the other party's entrustment. The only thing that could make this cousin speak up was the queen mother or the emperor.

As soon as this idea came up, Sheng Yuan didn't dare to let her speak.

"The Empress Dowager likes to be quiet, and she doesn't like others to come without invitation. If my sister rushes over, I'm afraid she will have to salute and say hello outside the palace. When the time comes, I will go in and you will be outside. It will look bad."

"..." Sheng Han suddenly raised his head when he heard the words.

However, Sheng Yuan's expression was flat, and there was no sarcasm on his face, as if he was just telling the truth without any sarcasm.

The smile on Sheng Han's face could no longer be maintained.

She really didn't expect that after they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Sheng Yuan's distaste had not changed!
