Chapter 14 Talk about conditions

Xia Hanyu couldn't help but glanced at him, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I've been used to it for a long time, not to mention the few of them have no malicious intentions."

The three of them were selected by her, and they were kind-hearted wealthy businessmen.

"The minister is incompetent and cannot protect His Highness."

Thinking of someone, Xia Ji couldn't hide his hostility.

If it wasn't for that man's scheming and ulterior motives, how could His Highness be deceived by him and bear such a reputation!
Although I don't know why His Highness is suddenly sober now, it is a good thing for him.

Xia Hanyu didn't expect that her casual words would cause the other party to blame herself so much, she was surprised and comforted him.

"It has nothing to do with you at this time, you don't need to blame yourself."

In the last life, because he often made troubles for Shi Heng, she also hated him. Now she sees Shi Heng clearly, and also understands his loyalty.

"Let's go, go in with me."

"Yes."

Xia Ji nodded, raised his hand slightly, and Jin Yiwei hurriedly pushed the door, and the voice inside also stopped.

Rong Fugui looked at Xie Yi with a guilty conscience, and muttered in a low voice, "Your Highness the Eldest Princess will not hear what I just said!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't stop his feet from going limp, and lowered his head in even more panic.

Xie Yi smiled and did not speak, her figure was tall and straight, as if she was cultivating bamboo, her gentle and cold eyes fell on such a picturesque beauty, then she lowered her head slightly and bowed her knees respectfully.

"Grassman Xie Yi, please see His Royal Highness Wan An."

Rong Fugui and Zheng Hai also bent their knees and knelt on the ground with a plop, sweating with guilt.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The three got up, only Xie Yi remained elegant.

"Three please sit down."

Xia Hanyu went to the side and sat down, with a dignified and elegant demeanor.

Xie Yi just hesitated, then sat down opposite her, and the other two quickly followed, but they were a little nervous.

Xia Hanyu smiled, "Xia Ji, you sit too."

"Yes."

Xia Ji nodded, and sat on Xia Hanyu's right side, with a protective posture, his dark eyes fell on Xie Yi coldly.

Xie Yi's gentle posture, like the bright white moonlight, made Xia Ji's expression completely cold.

In the past, Shi Heng was also acting like this, so His Highness who deceived him has such a reputation.

Xia Hanyu just swept across their faces lightly, and then spoke.

"Thinking that the three of you should already know the purpose of this palace, do you have any other ideas?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Zheng Hai dared to speak first, "Your Highness, Cao Min would like to know whether what Jin Yiwei said is true, as long as I donate money, His Majesty promises that my juniors can participate in the scientific examination without any restrictions?"

"Of course it's true, but it's limited to your immediate family members, and there won't be any preferential treatment in the examination room."

After all, what the court wants is talent, not mediocrity with only money.

After Xia Hanyu finished speaking, she signaled Xia Ji to open the brocade box and spread out the imperial decree for them to see clearly one by one.

Seeing the imperial decree, several people hurriedly stood up and saluted, then returned to their seats and sat down, the stones in their hearts fell to the ground.

Zheng Hai immediately said, "Your Highness, my Zheng family is willing to offer 20 taels of silver, [-] deniers of grain and [-] deniers of salt, but there is one condition."

After saying this, he got up and knelt down in fear, Rong Fugui beside him was also full of worry.

Xia Hanyu was not annoyed, "Tell me first."

Zheng Hai: "The grassroots hope that if my children and grandchildren take the scientific examination in the future, they will be treated fairly."

"Your Highness, you must also know that those of us who do business have always been looked down upon by others. Although we have a lot of money, our status is low, so the grassroots are afraid that if our children take part in the scientific examination one day, they will be targeted and tampered with."

This is indeed something that could happen.

"I have agreed to let Xia Ji arrange people from Jinyiwei to watch over it, but only for your children and grandchildren."

This is because of his generosity.

"At that time, I will ask Father and Emperor to give you an imperial decree. Here is the certificate for your descendants to participate in the scientific examination in the future."

Of course, it may not be used in the future, because Xia Hanyu is going to release the conditions for the scientific examination at a certain time, but it must be under the premise that the country is stable and the people live in peace, so this imperial decree is precious now.
