The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 353

After Luo Yan caught up, Yun Huan said slowly: "Why do you bother with them? You haven't lost your identity."

Although Su Huihua's reputation is so good, the third room where she lives has been separated from the Su family, and the relationship with the direct line is still at odds.The highest official position in the third room is Su Huihua's grandfather, who is a magistrate.If Su Huihua is not selected in this year's draft, her marriage is obviously not as optimistic as Luo Yan.Anyway, Luo Yan is also the daughter of a third-rank minister, and she also has a teacher who holds a lot of power.

Luo Yan pouted, and said: "I just can't get used to her hypocrite who buys people's hearts. It's her business that she wants a good reputation. Why should she step on others, as if she is the most virtuous and kind-hearted in the whole world."

Luo Yan's friend followed Su Huihua's advice, and was so angry that he was sick in bed, and didn't even participate in the draft.Luo Yan has a bit of loyalty, so she spends all day thinking about avenging her friend.

Yun Huan just smiled, "It's just a clown."

In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are just in vain.It's not that she is ignorant of Su Huihua's tricks of inviting people's hearts. In just a few days, she has built a good reputation among many beautiful girls, but she doesn't care.The more she did, the more she provoked the disgust of her superiors.

She scanned the surroundings. At this time, everyone came out of their rooms one after another and went to the examination room.

I don't know if it's because everyone knows that Chu Tianzhan will be there. Most of the people are dressed up to show off their appearance advantages as much as possible.There are so many beauties that people can't help being dazzled, and feel that they can't be seen by the eyes.

Even though everyone tried their best to compete for beauty, when Yun Huan appeared, they became a foil after all.No one would like to be a green leaf next to a red flower. If it were someone else, these girls would definitely sarcastically say a few words, but facing Yun Huan, they didn't dare to show any dislike.This person's status is too high, and she has been in and out of the palace more times than the empress dowager's direct nieces, so they can't afford to offend them.

Therefore, they could only greet Yun Huan with kind smiles. After Yun Huan nodded, he chatted with his familiar friends.The expression on her face was careless, but her sensitive ears had already received everyone's voices.There were also a few who spoke ill of her, and Yun Huan remembered them all.

Suddenly there was commotion at the door.

She turned her head, just in time to see a girl in white clothes Shengxue approaching gracefully, with a beautiful appearance, a delicate and timid expression showing a sense of strength, but it gave her an indescribable sense of familiarity.

Yun Huan raised his eyebrows, a little confused about the identity of the visitor.Although this young lady's appearance is not as good as Yun Huan's, she can still be ranked in the top three among the other nuns except Yun Huan. There is no reason why she can't remember.

There were many people who were as puzzled as her, and one of the girls asked quickly, "Is this sister going the wrong way? I don't seem to have seen you running for the election."

The girl pursed her lips and smiled, her voice was as soft as mist, "I'm Yang Xue, we met last night, didn't we?"

Yang Xue?

Even Yun Huan, who was so kind, was stunned for a moment, she quickly came to her senses, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Yang Xi.Yang Xi, who was always good-tempered, was furious. She and Yang Xue grew up under the same roof. She didn't know that Yang Xue was even at home, and she deliberately disguised herself to guard against their family members.Could it be that she really felt that her mother would not want her to enter the palace and let her stand out because she was so good-looking?
Yun Huan has a very good relationship with Yang Xi, so he quickly held her hand and comforted her, "Don't be angry because of this villain, she probably wants to make a big splash on this occasion."

Yang Xue deliberately stayed until this time to shine, obviously to wait for Chu Tianzhan who came later.No wonder she came to ask her for rouge yesterday. After all, Yun Huan's mother opened the most famous shop in the capital, and the rouge and powder she usually used were better than those offered in the palace. No wonder she came up with this idea.

Yang Xi took a deep breath, suppressed the rising anger in her heart, and said coldly: "I want to see how she will flourish." Her mother actually watched a marriage for Yang Xue, a concubine, at home. , although the man is not particularly rich, but he is also a scholar with a reputation, he can be called a young talent, and the man's father is also Yang Xi's father's subordinate, after Yang Xue married, she is not afraid that the other party treats her badly, but It seems that the concubine's mind has grown up long ago, how can she value this marriage.

Yang Xi wasn't worried at all that Yang Xue would enter the palace. Her cousin, who seemed gentle but alienated, would not have liked Yang Xue, not to mention that her aunt had no intention of letting any girl in the family enter the palace.

At this time, the other people also came to their senses, each and every one of them regarded Yang Xue as a very threatening rival in love—this person is beautiful, and she is also the queen mother's niece, if she enters the palace, she must not be underestimated enemy.

It's just that those who intend to enter the palace have been trained at home. After the initial shock and vigilance, they all talked to Yang Xue affectionately with smiling faces, as if they were sisters.

Su Huihua even held Yang Xue's hand with a smile, and said: "I didn't expect my sister to have such a good-looking appearance, but she just hid it before, so I really don't think of us as sisters."

Yang Xue just lowered her head, revealing her slender neck, and said in a weak voice, "I just don't want to cause trouble."

One of them couldn't understand her pretentious appearance, rolled her eyes, and snorted through her nose, "Some people really think of themselves too highly, and they really think that they are celestial beings. Sister Yun Huan was born like that. No good looks, no such self-indulgence."

Some people reflexively turned their heads to look at Yun Huan and then at Yang Xue, their eyes flicking back and forth between the two.

Without comparison, there is no harm.Although Yang Xue is a beauty, when compared with Yun Huan, she instantly becomes a vulgar fan.

Yang Xue's expression froze, she raised her head to look at Yun Huan, her eyes were full of jealousy, jealousy of her appearance, jealousy of her identity, jealousy of how easily all her happiness could be obtained, it can be said that she was loved by three thousand in her life.

Yun Huan's eyes fell lightly on her, and then he curled his lips into a slight smile, as the saying goes, a smile is full of charm, and the room is full of brilliance.

Although everyone has gotten used to seeing Yun Huan's face these days, when she smiled, they couldn't help being dumbfounded.At this moment, everyone lost their language function.The originally noisy hall suddenly fell into dead silence.

After a while, as if a certain switch was pressed, the sound came back all at once.

At this time, several aunts also came in from outside the house, carrying a box.The leading aunt had a round face and looked very kind, "Ladies and gentlemen, please come and draw your own seats."

It seems that the seats for the exam are arranged according to the lottery form, which can also reduce the chance of cheating.However, on this occasion, no one dared to do this. If they were caught, their lives would be ruined. People in this era still attach great importance to honesty.

My aunt directly asked everyone to draw according to the number, and soon it was Yun Huan's turn.

Yun Huan reached into the box and took out a note. Her seat was exactly in the fourth row of the third row.By the time everyone finished smoking and sat down in their seats, two quarters of an hour had passed.

Coincidentally, Su Huihua's seat happened to be behind Yun Huan, while Yang Xue was in front of her on the left.The seats between everyone are about two feet apart, so don't worry about seeing the answers written by others.In other words, the hall is big enough to accommodate so many people.

Soon, the test papers were distributed.

Before starting to write, Yun Huan read the above test questions first, so she had a good idea - most of the people had the same idea as her.

It's just that when she saw the familiar questions, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.

Brother Tianzhan really has no confidence in her. All the questions she asked were done by her.

No wonder, no wonder he sneaked out of the palace two months ago, and was still reading her articles in her study.Originally, she thought he was just idle and had nothing to do, but he turned out to be cheating!If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, she would have snorted coldly.Especially with some very tricky questions above, I am afraid that many people will be fooled.

Yun Huan's homework was taught by her perfect father since she was a child. According to her father, if she competes with those men on the same stage, the number one spot will not fall to others.

However, the last few policy topics were not written by Chu Tianzhan at first glance.From the words and phrases, Yun Huan could see that it was Aunt Wan's handwriting.The last question is to test the idea of ​​whether to open the sea ban.The penultimate question is a very general one: the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people.

The next two big questions obviously not only test the level of the article's strategy and theory, but also test the pattern of vision, which is undoubtedly lacking in many people present.

There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and after grinding the ink, she began to write vigorously.

Su Huihua behind her looked at the questions on the paper, frowned slightly, and subconsciously bit her lower lip.She originally thought that the exam should be about the four books and five classics, women's virtues and precepts. After all, when a woman is alive, chasteness and virtuousness are the most needed. A woman's lack of talent is virtue. If she is too powerful, she may lose the heart of a man.She has received such teaching since she was a child, and she is also very confident.

However, the content of the exam this time is something she is not good at at all, and she doesn't even study it very much.For a moment, she was a little dazed.She knew that the empress dowager was quite capable, and she even secretly despised her for taking too much power, unlike the previous empress dowagers who spent their entire lives in the harem.But being yourself is one thing, and the standards of your daughter-in-law should be another.

After all, Su Huihua was cultivated by the third house of the Su family with great efforts, and soon he calmed down and concentrated on writing the questions.It's just that now she is not as confident as she was at first, and even faintly fearful.

……

At the beginning, when everyone was doing the questions, they would divide their minds at the door, planning to wait for Chu Tianzhan to come, and then show their most beautiful and moving posture.Just writing and writing, everyone had to get serious.No way, the above topic is really difficult to do.

Especially for people like Luo Yan who usually don't spend much time on it, they are speechless - the difficulty of this exam is comparable to the imperial examination papers.It's just that these people's mentality is also very good, and they quickly adjusted.Difficulty is good, everyone can't, lest they are the only ones who can't write too embarrassingly.

About halfway through writing, Chu Tianzhan came.

His footsteps were so light that he couldn't hear them at all. When the aunts saw him, they originally wanted to salute, but after receiving his signal, they blessed their bodies slightly without saying a word.

Yun Huan was the first to notice his arrival. She was too familiar with Chu Tianzhan's aura. If it weren't for the fact that she was too serious in doing the questions before, she might have noticed Chu Tianzhan as soon as he entered the room.

She raised her head, moved her wrist just in time, and met Chu Tianzhan's smiling eyes. He blinked at her, exchanging a tacit message that only the two of them could understand.

She lowered her head and continued to write the next topic, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Ah." A painful moan sounded, the sound was not loud, but the hall was very quiet, only the rustling sound of writing was especially clear in the hall, everyone involuntarily raised their heads and looked at the source of the sound.

I saw cold sweat oozing from Yang Xue's forehead, she bit her lips lightly with her white teeth, she seemed to be in pain, and her hand was pressing on the position of her lower abdomen.

So is this Kwai Shui? ——Everyone couldn't help but have this thought in their minds.

The smile on the corner of Yun Huan's mouth deepened, and he felt that this scene was quite interesting. Some people really like to add drama to themselves.I don't know how long Yang Xue practiced in front of the mirror, so that she could look painful and beautiful at the same time, but because of the whiteness of her cheeks, she looked charming and charming, with a special style.

Chu Tianzhan frowned slightly, and the aunt behind him asked, "Is Second Miss Yang unwell?"

Yang Xue raised her head, her gaze quickly slid over the handsome young emperor above, her voice was weak but full of firmness, "I'm fine, everything should be done from beginning to end, I will finish this exam well."

This contradictory sense of fragility and strength makes her look extraordinarily beautiful, like a flower swaying gently in the morning breeze.

It's a pity that Chu Tianzhan couldn't appreciate this so-called beauty at all. When he was a child, he was even dragged by his master Aunt Yun to watch various scenes of selling his body to bury his parents.Yang Xue's ambition and scheming under her seemingly weak appearance are particularly annoying.

The corners of his lips curled slightly, and his tone was gentle, "It would be bad if your condition is delayed because of this exam."

Yang Xue was overjoyed in her heart, thinking that her cousin was pitying her, and a faint mist of gratitude appeared in her eyes at the right time, but the next moment, Chu Tianzhan's voice made her fall into an ice cave.

"Since that's the case, you'd better go home and take a good rest. Send Miss Yang back to Yang's residence, the palace's feng shui may be in conflict with her."

The sentence that the palace and her feng shui were in conflict completely deprived Yang Xue of any possible chance to enter the palace.

Yang Xue felt that her body was going weak, she didn't understand why she had planned so hard, but what she got was such a result.Although she is very confident in her appearance, under the deliberate suppression of her aunt (in Yang Xue's eyes, if she is not treated the same as Yang Xi, that is deliberate suppression), her talents are only average, and she cannot stand out in the exam.So she played a dangerous game, deliberately took medicine to make her sunflower water come earlier, and because of the cold, the pain was overwhelming.

Originally, she thought that she would give him a good impression by insisting on taking the exam even though she was sick, but who would have expected that the development of things would be completely different from what she had imagined.

Her lips moved, tears dripped down directly, this time she really wanted to cry.

"I……"

Chu Tianzhan had a gentle and elegant demeanor, "It can be seen that Miss Yang is also eager to return home. When she heard that she was going back, she was so moved that she cried."

Yun Huan almost burst out laughing, brother Tianzhan was too narrow-minded.But she also had to admit that seeing Yang Xue's expression now, she felt very comfortable.

The two aunts came down and took Yang Xue away from the examination room. It would take less than an hour for Yang Xue to be sent away from the palace.

After Chu Tianzhan finished dealing with Yang Xue's matter, he lifted his feet and left the palace.It made the other beautiful women who wanted to sneak a few more glances at him call Yang Xue a thousand times - all because of this bitch who seduced people regardless of the occasion, and drove His Majesty away in anger.

After seeing the handsome and ruthless emperor, many beautiful women became more determined to enter the palace, and vowed to win his favor. This kind of fantasy also made them feel lost when they answered the questions later. .

Yun Huan, who was in a good mood after watching a good show, wrote like a god.

After the exam was over, the test papers were collected, and everyone left the exam room in twos and threes. Many people were whispering about Yang Xue, with contempt in their voices.

Yang Xi looked sullen.Although she hated Shumei's behavior very much, but Shumei's embarrassment also made the Yang family lose face.Especially her mother, after this incident, I don't know how many rumors there will be. I'm afraid many people will think that her mother is unkind, so that the concubine has to hide her appearance.

Yun Huan knew her knot, and after returning to the house, he comforted her, "Since this is the case, you should behave well and let everyone know that Yang Xue is just a special case."

Yang Xi listened, and immediately turned his anger into motivation.

Chu Tianzhan did not come for the second exam.Looking at the test paper, it seems that the one given by the Queen Mother Yang Yeqing is more difficult than the first test, but it is not a problem for Yun Huan.She thought she did well in both exams.

After the second exam, there will be a total of ten days before the final selection.In the morning, the aunt in the palace will explain the rules, and in the afternoon it is free time.

It's funny to say that in the second round of re-election, three-quarters of the people were eliminated, leaving only 100 people left.Among them, what shocked everyone the most was that Su Huihua, a perfect girl, was eliminated-this is the most popular in everyone's eyes.

It's just that no one dared to question the grades, because Chu Tianzhan was very insidious... Ahem, he cleverly invited a few university scholars to come over and correct the papers.Who dares to express doubts, then prepare to offend the entire civil servant group.A literati's mouth is sharper than a knife or a gun.

It is said that Su Huihua's two aunts, the two imperial concubines, also ran to Yang Yeqing, euphemistically pointing out that the character of a beautiful woman is more important than her grades.This is obviously acting as a lobbyist for Su Huihua.It can be seen that the third house of the Su family really put all their treasures on Su Huihua, the prostitute who was brought up since childhood, so they couldn't bear the result.

Yang Yeqing didn't bother to talk to them, and directly passed the words to the college students who approved the papers.Those university scholars suddenly became upset, saying that you are a man of literature, and then criticized Su Huihua as if he had flaws all over his body. The two concubines of the Su family were also severely ridiculed, which made them very shameless. The queen was ill.

Yang Yeqing directly thought that in order to avoid infection, she sealed up their palace, which was tantamount to grounding them——Yang Yeqing originally thought that it was not easy for women in the harem, so after becoming the queen mother, she was quite tolerant of them.Since he rubbed his nose and face, don't blame him for being rude.

As soon as this incident got out, the show girls couldn't help but keep their heads down, for fear of being too jumpy and attracting the attention of the superiors.

However, during this period of time, some masters in the palace also began to summon these beautiful girls, and each summoned one would always arouse other people's discussions.When Yun Huan was on the tenth, she received a message from Yang Yeqing asking her to come over.

Yun Huan is not the kind of person who will pass by whoever calls him. After all, it is an extraordinary time, and it is easy to be tricked by others if he is not careful. Yin followed, so she went there together.

After she left, the show girls let go of their discussion, "We've been in the palace these days, this is the first time the Empress Dowager has summoned someone."

"Yeah, I knew before that Princess Zhao is very much liked by the empress, and today I saw that the rumors are true."

Some people started to sow discord, and smiled at Yang Xi: "I thought the empress would summon Sister Yang first."

Yang Xi herself is not the kind of aggressive personality, and she will not be provoked easily.She just smiled and said: "Sister Yunhuan's results in the two exams are even praised by those learned bachelors. It is only natural for the empress to see her first."

It means that Yun Huan has this ability.

The man just smiled and didn't say anything.

……

Yun Huan came to Yang Yeqing's Compassionate Palace with ease.Yang Yeqing still looks gentle and graceful, but this gentleness has a little more momentum.Her eyes touched Yun Huan who walked into the room slowly, the smile in her eyes deepened a little, and her tone became softer, "No need to salute, just sit down."

Yun Huan caught a glimpse of the dim sum on the table and couldn't help laughing, "I knew that my mother loved me, so I asked the chef to make my favorite dim sum."

Yang Yeqing said: "I'm afraid that you will lose weight from hunger in the palace during this time, and it won't be good if your mother comes to settle accounts with me."

She nodded and signaled, and the other servants in the room went down, leaving only the two of them.

"Have you really decided to go this way?" Yang Yeqing looked at her fixedly.

Yun Huan nodded, her pursed lips were graceful and charming, but also stubborn, "Well, I won't regret it."

Yang Yeqing sighed, "This road will be very hard..." She paused and said: "But I am very happy. I am glad that someone will continue what we want to do, and I am also glad that my son is luckier than me, at least She can have someone close by her side."

Knowing what Yang Yeqing meant, Yun Huan agreed with it.Both of them are not the kind of people who like to spend too much time talking. Now that it has been confirmed, they will not continue to waste saliva on this matter.Yang Yeqing turned to another topic, "Actually, Tian Zhan didn't want to hold this draft at the beginning. He planned to order it directly."

"But I convinced him, do you know why?"

Yun Huan thought for a while, and slowly replied: "On the one hand, it's to be more justified." She raised her eyes to catch a glimpse of Yang Yeqing's approval, and continued, "The other reason is that the empress wants to use this draft to see clearly the minds of the people below."

A draft, so many people's ambitions surfaced.

The smile in Yang Yeqing's eyes was even stronger. As expected of Zhuzhu being brought up by Yun Xi, her gaze was not limited to the three acres of land in the back house, but to the front court.

"That's right. I specially let some nuns and maids go out, and some people even had disputes over them."

She looked at Yun Huan and said: "You are the first person I summoned, I am afraid that after you go back, you will become the target of public criticism, there will be many conspiracy schemes behind the scenes, are you afraid? "

Yun Huan raised his head, showing a brighter smile, confident and determined, "Then let them come here."

Although as long as she said a word, both Yang Yeqing and Chu Tianzhan would help her.It's just that Yun Huan didn't want to. Naturally, she had to go out on the battlefield by herself.

She doesn't want to be a flower in the greenhouse, nor is she willing to stand behind him, but walks hand in hand with him.
