Chapter 394: Writing Like a God

"What!" Concubine Gong reacted violently, "Isn't the Ning family's daughter already betrothed to someone else? Why would Meng Xiaoyan fall for a married woman?

Meng Xiaoyan is the eldest grandson of the Meng family and the next head of the Meng family. Ning Tan is now disfigured. How will he manage household chores and social events in the future?

Concubine Gong rubbed her temples and glared at the emperor again: "None of you can make me feel at ease."

The emperor slapped his thigh and expressed his shared hatred for the enemy with Concubine Gong: "That's right! I think the same as you do.

I have tried my best to persuade him, but he is stubborn and refuses to change his ways."

Concubine Gong took a deep breath and said, "He has been in the military camp for too long and has never seen a girl before, so he was easily fascinated by the girl from the Ning family.

How about I arrange some pretty girls for her?"

"Please don't!" The emperor held Concubine Gong's hand and said earnestly, "Mother, please don't make any stupid moves.

Meng Xiyan has been interested in her for more than a day or two.

He had fallen deeply in love with the girl from the Ning family when he was fifteen years old. He had wanted to wait until the girl came of age to propose marriage, but the Qian family had taken the lead.

The kid from the Qian family was a good friend of Meng Xiyan. He was so sad that he went to northern Xinjiang and refused to come back for several years.

Later, when the young man from the Qian family died, the young woman from the Ning family decided to remain a widow, and he no longer wanted to marry or have children."

The emperor sighed as he spoke, "Meng Xiyan would rather remain single for his entire life than marry her, and now he finally has hope.

Before he left for Jinyang Prefecture, he came to me and asked me to protect the young lady from the Ning family.

If you force someone through now, won't you destroy his lifelong happiness? "

The muscles on Concubine Gong's face twitched. "Even though he was disfigured, he was still willing to be with her. The Meng family is truly full of romantic people. His father also insisted on marrying Xiaobai back then."

"So, instead of letting Meng Xiyan fall in love with someone else, it's better to give Miss Ning some respect and dignity. In the future, even if she has that face, no one will dare to look down on her."

Concubine Gong waved her hand and said, "I can no longer control the affairs of you young people.

Just follow your instructions. I'll leave for Dazhao Temple the day after tomorrow."

"Thank you for your hard work, mother." The emperor leaned on Concubine Gong's shoulder affectionately and acted coquettishly.

Concubine Gong patted his head lovingly: "Don't forget about the Empress Dowager. You have to be more filial to her, understand?"

"I understand, son." The emperor paused, but still replied, "Only a mother would take care of these trivial matters for her son."

They chatted for a while and talked about what happened in "Qingfeng Xiaolou".

The Queen said, "That garden is quite ingenious. Mother, would you like to try their nail polish? It's very delicate and beautiful."

"I actually prefer the girl who did the acupressure and massage. She helped me sleep well without using any perfume or medicine."

The emperor immediately said that he would bring the female craftsman to the palace to serve Concubine Gong every day.

However, Concubine Gong refused, "Don't be so overbearing. When I need you, I can just ask her to come to my house for service."

After chatting with Concubine Gong for a while, the Queen and her husband saw that she was tired and said goodbye together.

The Queen reminded the Emperor: "You haven't been to Concubine Lan's place for three days. This is not the treatment only a favorite concubine can have."

The emperor's face darkened, and he quietly hooked his finger with the queen's, "I'm going to sell myself again.

Throughout history, no emperor has ever been as frustrated as I am."

The Queen suppressed her laughter and said, "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Your Majesty, I believe you can do it!"

"You have no conscience." The emperor glared at her and walked away.

The dragon carriage left quickly.

The Queen ordered the phoenix sedan to be removed, and Aunt Lan Xin helped the Queen take a leisurely walk back in the garden.

The palace maids retreated a dozen feet away on their own.

Miss Lan Xin asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, since the emperor is unwilling, and the Lan family has committed another crime, why not take this opportunity to..." destroy the Lan family?

The Queen said: "The former dynasty and the harem are inseparable. When the Lan family falls, the Hua family will rise.

A single move can affect the entire body, and opportunities arise in chaos. I wonder how many people will take advantage of the chaos to speculate.

The current situation in the court is under the control of the Emperor, so why bother with this extra effort? "

The Lan family has always been an all-purpose shield that the emperor has erected for himself.

You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat.

Very useful.

Miss Lan Xin nodded, not quite understanding.

The next day.

early morning.

Jinyang Prefecture Government Office.

Meng Xiyan got up early and practiced boxing after playing Chen.

He was wiping himself with a towel when Brother Chen Yi hurried in holding a gray carrier pigeon.

"Xiyan, there's a letter from the capital."

Brother Chen Yi first handed a letter to Meng Xiyan.

Meng Xiyan unfolded the letter and read it quickly.

His face turned very ugly in an instant.

"Xie is indeed a haunting figure. He has been pestering Miss Ning Tan."

Brother Chen Yi asked: "Miss Ning Tan was not hurt!"

Meng Xiyan shook his head: "Before I left, I arranged for someone to secretly protect her, and the emperor also sent secret guards, so she was not harmed.

The young master of the Xie family is very paranoid and will probably not let Miss Ning Tan go easily."

Meng Xiyan now regrets it very much.

Why did I come to Jinyang Prefecture?

He should have stayed in the capital to protect her.

"No, I still have to make some other arrangements..." Meng Xiyan said in a panic.

Brother Chen Yi quickly took the secret letter off the pigeon's leg and said, "There's also an urgent letter from the capital sent by carrier pigeon. Maybe there's something else going on."

Meng Xiyan unfolded the paper with small characters, and the words as small as rice grains came into view. There were only a few short words on it: Tan Suigong, will enter Dazhao Temple the day after tomorrow.

Meng Xiyan suddenly sighed and breathed a sigh of relief.

No one in the Dayong Dynasty dared to offend Concubine Gong. Not even the young master of the Xie family had the courage to do so.

In this way, Ning Tan is completely safe!

Meng Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief, hurried back to the room, took out two medicine bottles from the drawer, and handed them to Brother Chen Yi: "Brother Chen Yi, this is scar removal cream. Send someone to take it back to Miss Ning Tan."

"Yes." Brother Chen Yi took the porcelain bottle and turned away.

"Wait." Meng Xiyan suddenly called him again.

Brother Chen turned around: "What else?"

Meng Xiyan said: "Don't give it to Miss Ning Tan, if people know about it, it will ruin her reputation.

It is better to give it to the Emperor, who will pass it on to Miss Ning Tan through the hands of the Concubine Dowager."

Brother Chen shook his head helplessly.

I used to worry that Meng Xiyan was not smart enough and didn’t understand love between men and women.

Now that I'm in love, there's no transition at all and I've become love-brained.

Brother Chen Yi couldn't tell for a moment which one was in better condition, Meng Xiyan!

Capital city, Imperial Examination Hall.

The topic for the first exam is announced.

With the sound of a gong, the first exam began.

Soon, the rustling sound of writing could be heard in the huge examination hall.

Ying Zhilin did not answer, but instead crossed his arms, looking drowsy.

This caused the invigilator to circle around in front of him several times.

On the other hand, let’s look at Huo Yaoxing.

After entering the examination room, he has been gathering his strength.

After seeing the test questions, they were exactly the same as in my previous life.

He closed his eyes and recalled, and Qi Yunzhou's answers in his previous life appeared in his mind one by one.

He immediately wrote as if possessed by a god!
