Chapter 254 Li Yaozu passed the exam

Li Youwei understood Nalan Ling's worry and helplessness. She wanted to comfort her, but found that it was in vain.

Huangfu Chenyang was the emperor, and thunder, rain, and dew were all gifts from heaven, and they, as ministers, had no choice but to accept them.

They thought that Huangfu Chenyang would let go as time went by, but they didn't expect that he would get worse.

"Sister Ling, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. If he does too much, he will have no choice but to..."

Li Youwei didn't say anything else. Based on the tacit understanding between the two, Nalan Ling had already guessed what Li Youwei didn't say.

"You Wei, it's not that far yet. I'll be fine. Don't do stupid things for me."

"Sister Ling, I don't ask for much, I just hope you can be happy."

Nalan Ling smiled, "Okay, don't worry, I won't wrong myself."

Two concubines, Jiang Qi and Gu Xueyao, died in the harem one after another. The other concubines were so frightened that they became cautious and did not even dare to use small means to compete for favor.

After all, if you are not careful, you may lose your life.

Because Ge Jieyu was stabbed by Gu Xueyao, Huangfu Chenyang called her to sleep with her three times in order to compensate her. For a time, she also stole the show in the harem.

With the example of Gu Xueyao, the former concubine Shu and now the concubine Zhang Zhizhi are more low-key and cautious. Even though she is the only concubine who gave birth to a prince, she never competes for favor.

Gongsun Qiao is even more arrogant as a queen. Her greatest pleasure is to let Zhang Zhizhi take the eldest prince to Kunning Palace to play with Princess Changle.

Soon it was the end of August, and autumn came once every three years. In order to make the exam more fair, in addition to Zhang Zhaoming, the invigilator, Huangfu Chenyang also asked Li Youwei and Situ Jue to assist.

The three of them are all upright people and can ensure the fairness of the exam.

Li Yaozu will also participate in Qiuwei this year. He originally wanted to lick his face and ask Li Youwei to give him some advice, but now he has no chance at all. In order to avoid suspicion, Li Youwei is staying in Gongyuan during this period.

Li Yaozu had no choice but to shut himself up at home and study hard, planning to make a final push.

In order for Li Yaozu to get good grades in the exam, Mrs. Li followed a group of ladies to the national temple to pray for blessings. Because of Li Youwei's status as mother, the officials' wives were still polite to her, except for one person.

Today, Leng Ya also took her maid to the Guo Temple to seek marriage for Wang Boyan. Unfortunately, she met Wang Li while climbing the steps.

"Hey, I told you that the crow has been croaking on the roof this morning. It turns out that you will meet some unlucky people."

Since Li Dengyuan regained his composure, Mrs. Li has become more at ease. She has also thought about it. She is the only woman in the house, and there is nothing bad to happen. As long as she doesn't do anything, she can live a beautiful life.

Although Li Dengyuan didn't go to her yard often, he didn't find other women, which was enough.

She just wanted to pray for her son today, but Leng Ya took the initiative to make trouble. She would have been afraid of this at the beginning, but now she understands it.

She is the biological mother of General Chariot and Cavalry. Leng Ya is just an unreasonable and crazy woman. There is no need to be afraid of her.

Mrs. Li straightened her sleeves and straightened her body. She really looked like a second-grade official's wife.

"General's wife, you were once a lady, but why do you speak so harshly? Even I, who come from the countryside, can't say such sinister words like yours."

As soon as Li Wangshi said these words, Leng Ya was stunned. She really didn't expect that Li Wangshi, a famous idiot in the capital, would actually curse people around the corner.

"Ms. Li, are you provoking my wife?"

Mrs. Li frowned, "General's wife, why don't you go see the doctor? If you come to trouble me for no reason, you still fantasize about others persecuting you. There seems to be something wrong here."

Mrs. Li nodded her head, looking troubled and incomprehensible. "You..." Leng Ya wanted to say something, but she saw that the other ladies gathered around had started pointing at her.

Her well-maintained face turned red with anger, and she coldly tossed her sleeves and left.

As soon as she left, the other ladies gathered around, "Mrs. Li, don't be as knowledgeable as her. She is like a mad dog now. She bites whoever she catches. She probably thinks of her daughter-in-law and grandson."

At the beginning, it was Leng Ya who chose her daughter-in-law, but now it's the other way around. She is so notorious that many people are reluctant to send their daughters there to suffer.

However, she didn't understand the situation clearly, and she always felt that she was superior to others, but she didn't know that everyone was already tired of her.

Mrs. Li Wang has grown a lot now, and with Li Youwei's relationship, all the officials' wives want to have a good relationship with her.

Mrs. Li was a little flattered to be suddenly cared about by so many people. Because of her low background, she had not been able to truly integrate into their circle for so many years in the capital.

Unexpectedly, she didn't care about this anymore, and instead they came to fawn over her.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

"It's okay, Mrs. Li, are you here to pray for your young master today?"

Li Wangshi nodded, "Yes, I hope my Yaozu can perform for a long time."

"Master Li is the younger brother of General Li, and he has also promised that he will be good."

"Yes, Mrs. Li, don't worry, Mr. Li will be on the list this time."

Everyone was praising her, and Mrs. Li was stunned for a while. From what her master meant, it seemed that Yaozu was not that powerful and would probably fail this time. These ladies were probably just comforting her.

After going through so much, Mrs. Li finally grew a brain.

Mrs. Li smiled modestly, "Thank you for your blessings. It's getting late, let's go up quickly."

The wives of each family were busy praying for their children, and the restaurants in the capital were also very lively, with everyone watching over the civil and military champion.

Although the candidates who will take part in Qiuwei this time are all pretty good, none of them are particularly top-notch. They are incomparable to Li Youwei's class.

Half a month later, with the joint efforts of Li Youwei, Zhang Zhaolong and Situ Jue, this year's exam came to a perfect conclusion, and Huangfu Chenyang also selected many young and promising talents.

Perhaps it was Wang Li's sincerity that moved the gods and Buddhas, and Li Yaozu was actually on the list. Although he was the last one, he was considered to be famous.

After seeing his ranking, Li Yaozu almost jumped up with excitement. He finally passed the exam.

Li Dengyuan and Li Wangshi were also extremely excited and hurriedly sent the good news to the Cavalry General's Mansion.

Li Youwei also congratulated him and urged Li Yaozu to keep up his efforts and not to be complacent.

Li Yaozu nodded, "Sister, I must learn from you. I will not smear you and daddy."

"Yeah, okay." Li Youwei nodded happily. She heard Li Yaozu's inner voice. His inner voice was the same as what he said. It seemed that he had really changed for the better.

No one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. If he can improve, she is still willing to give him a chance.

Li Dengyuan and Li Wangshi invited Li Youwei home for dinner as a way to celebrate Li Yaozu, but Li Youwei flatly refused.

"The Xisha Kingdom has reached Xicheng, and I will lead the troops to set off soon."
