My wife, the eldest princess of the demon clan, I recite poems and become a sword god

Chapter 59 The Imperial Concubine (Cute newbie, please read and collect)

Jiangning City in the middle of the night is still a scene of singing and dancing.

Sixty-seven miles to the west along the Longyin River is the imperial city of the Southern Dynasties.

Since Nanliang was destroyed a year ago, it became the palace of the former Wei and Jin emperors.

Very close to the imperial city, there is an elegant courtyard with small bridges and flowing water.

It used to be the residence of the prime minister of Nanliang, but later became the government office of Jiangnan Province in Jin Dynasty.

It is only one street away from the famous Jiangnan Gongyuan.

The system of the Jin Dynasty basically copied the former Wei Dynasty, with thirteen provinces, 28 states, and 233 counties.

Dao and state are both fictitious and overlapped. There are no permanent posts and imperial envoys will be sent to take charge only under certain circumstances.

On nights like this, the government office, which had been deserted for more than half a year, suddenly became hurried.

Xiao Ye, the imperial envoy who had been unable to sleep, got up, opened the window and looked at the busy scene in the courtyard, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Behind him, a woman in a silk veil stood up and lit a lamp, asking in a calm voice:

"It's midnight, husband, you're not sleeping, are you waiting for Qiu Wei to release the results?"

This was said with a joking tone.

Xiao Ye turned his head when he heard the words, and replied with a gentle expression:
"Madam is right, I am indeed a little curious.

Especially, the ranking of the banished immortal. "

Under some candlelight,
The woman's face can only be considered delicate, but there is still a long way to go before being good-looking.

Moreover, she comes from a small family, which is completely different from the Lanling Xiao family.

Even so, the reason why she was able to be married by Xiao Ye as his wife and treat her tenderly was actually very simple.

She was once the personal maid of the imperial concubine, and now she has a badge to enter and leave the Daming Palace.

Thinking of this, a hint of subtle complexity flashed under Xiao Ye's gentle eyes.

The imperial concubine whom he should call his cousin had too many status factors.

The other party is the ninth princess of Emperor Wei Ming, and his mother is the legitimate daughter of the Lanling Xiao family.

When the world was in chaos, she was forced to commit herself to Prince Ning's side concubine.

After Prince Ning was killed at the Suzaku Gate, he entered the palace and transformed into the imperial concubine...

One of the reasons why Emperor Jingyun had a bad relationship with the Confucian sect was due to Concubine Cao.

Although it is unknown,

The emperor of the current dynasty and his childhood sweetheart Cao Guifei had already made a private decision for life.

The original King Ning was actually Huang Mao, who fought for love with a knife, and his behavior made the pure love warrior angry.

But the Confucian sect didn't care about this secret.

Emperor Jingyun killed his brother and forced his father to abdicate, which has touched the bottom line of Confucian benevolence and filial piety.

After ascending the throne, he actually brought his brother's side concubine into the harem.

This behavior is somewhat like a toad trying to find a small frog, which looks ugly but still plays with flowers.

To be honest, it was a big eye-opener for a Confucian scholar to stab his butt with a chainsaw.

In addition, there is an undeniable fact that,

Concubine Cao is the biological mother of the banished immortal Li Cheng.

It's just that both the imperial court and the Confucianism tried their best to downplay this matter.

But it was precisely because of this relationship that Xiao Ye and Jiang Ning were not killed.

As an imperial envoy, he still feels terrified when he thinks of Dean Tang's slightly cold eyes on the day the decree was announced.

Don't look at yourself as a high-ranking official who can be counted in the court.

But for Tang San, as long as he is not the prime minister or the six ministers, he will be killed, it is not a big deal.

While he was thinking wildly, Xiao Ye heard his wife walking beside him smiling and saying:

"I don't know what the young master is thinking. He already has the status of being a civil servant, but he still has to take part in the provincial examination..."

The scientific examination system was founded by Confucius. It has been over a thousand years and has already formed a meticulous and complete system.

Out of respect for Confucianism, all dynasties in the past dynasties aimed at the direct disciples of the Six Academy Palaces to obtain the title of Juren without having to participate in the Qiu Wei.

In layman's terms, it can be understood as the recommended students to Qingbei every year.

Xiao Ye came back to his senses and answered with a smile:

"It's not surprising that this year Mr. Ye, the first disciple of the Holy Duke, participated in the Autumn Festival of Henan Province.

News came yesterday that he had already retired from high school. "

Jieyuan is the No.1 in the provincial examination. For ordinary students, it is something that can be boasted for a lifetime.

Somewhat similar to the provincial top scorer in the college entrance examination.

However, the provincial examination in Henan Province was very difficult, but he still couldn't pass the examination in Jiangnan Province.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ye looked sideways at his graceful wife, and said with concern:

"It's cold at night, madam, you should pay more attention."

As he spoke, he put his long gown on the other person's shoulders.

The woman looked at Xiao Ye's side face with emotion, but her eyes were very clear:
"Husband, if you really want to be a minister, just relying on your status as a relative and my relationship with your empress is not enough."

Even if his thoughts were read, Xiao Ye was not embarrassed at all and said with a smile:

"Ma'am, please don't hesitate to clear up any doubts."

The woman didn’t do any riddles, she said straightforwardly:

"Over the years, after all, the young master is not with his wife, so the relationship is inevitably a bit raw.

But the empress only has the young master, whose blood is thicker than water, so she naturally wishes to get closer to him. "

Having said this, the woman nodded and remained silent.

After hearing this, Xiao Ye couldn't help but look a little thoughtful.

think for a moment,

Looking out the window at the busy officials, Xiao Ye suddenly had a wry smile on his face:

"By the way, the chief examiner of this Jiangnan Provincial Examination is Fei Yan, the censor of Zuodu, Yushitai.

He was born in Jixia Academy and has always been upright and unfaithful.

A few days ago, I sent a greeting card, but it was declined politely because it was inconvenient to meet people when grading papers. "

At this point, he withdrew his gaze, lowered his voice, and said to the woman extremely seriously:
"Personally, I can be regarded as Li Cheng's cousin, but I only met him once, nine years ago.

In addition, the wife may not feel it, but the husband feels like sitting on pins and needles. "

"Why?" The woman's lips raised slightly and she asked innocently.

Xiao Ye quietly closed the wooden window, took the woman back to the table, and said softly:

"Jianning City and even the entire Jiangzuo are almost out of the control of the temple princes.

If you don't pay attention, you will repeat the same mistakes as the old things in Nanliang.

In this chess game, Li Cheng is the most critical killing piece. "

After hearing this, the woman's smile did not diminish and her voice remained calm:

"Husband, I, a female prostitute, cannot understand these worldly events you are talking about, and I don't want to understand either.

All I know is that my mother has treated me with such kindness as a mountain, so I want to think what my mother thinks, and worry about what my mother wants, not to mention..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Ye suddenly noticed that his wife's voice became slightly cold:

"...Young master, he is destined not to live long. A killing piece that is not on the chessboard will only be an abandoned piece."

Xiao Ye:......

fell silent,

He had to nod his head in agreement and muttered as if to himself:
"The temple princes also think so, but for some reason, I always feel uneasy..."

The voice paused for a moment, then he blew out the candle in front of him and whispered:

"When the results are released tomorrow, I will personally come to see the banished immortal.

After being in seclusion for so long, it’s time for him to come out..."

……

……

The next morning.

At dawn, the huge Jiangnan Gongyuan was surrounded by a sea of ​​people on three floors inside and three outside.

The price of the inn near Gongyuan increased more than tenfold overnight.

In order to maintain order, Jiangning Prefecture mobilized two battalions of garrison troops outside the city to enter the city to maintain order.

Theoretically speaking, mobilizing the army without the imperial decree is a serious crime of beheading everyone.

But in the land of Jiangnan, it is nothing.

The brilliant morning glow breaks through the clouds and shines on the surrounded courtyard wall.

There are still two quarters of an hour before Chen time,
There was a commotion on the periphery of the crowd, and it spread to the inside like a wave:

"Here they come."

"The adults who released the list are here!"

　Thank you Fu Shi for the reward. Thank you for your votes. I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival and good health to your family.
