Although she was puzzled, she did not dare to ask the emperor why he was thinking about the piglet at home. She could only honestly say that her second son was studying in his ancestral hometown with her eldest son who was going to take the provincial examination.
The emperor nodded to show that he understood, and before sending him away, he told him to tell Li Guangde if his second son came back.
For a long time afterwards, Yan Guangyi couldn't figure out why he had caught the emperor's eye. He went home to ask his wife, but she didn't know either. So he had to write a letter to ask Yan Cheng.
Since Ma Zikun, who did good deeds anonymously, never said that he wrote Yan Cheng's name in the secret letter sent to the emperor, Yan Cheng could not imagine that someone would push the credit away.
So when Yan Cheng saw the letter from Yan Guangyi, his heart skipped a beat. The only person related to the royal family that came to his mind was Princess Qingyang, and he screamed wildly, "Oh no!"
Could it be that she really likes him and wants him to be her son-in-law?
While thinking that being good-looking was indeed dangerous and that one could be captured and made a son-in-law if not careful, he wrote down the details of his encounter with Princess Qingyang on a piece of letter paper.
When Yan Guangyi received the letter, he shared the same idea as Yan Cheng, believing that Princess Qingyang had taken a fancy to Yan Cheng and wanted him to be her son-in-law.
Princess Qingyang is the emperor's favorite sister. If her sister wants to see her son-in-law, the emperor will definitely put an end to it.
Yan Guangyi certainly didn't want Yan Cheng to be the royal son-in-law and have anything to do with the royal family. In that case, even if Yan Cheng was wronged, they would not be able to seek justice for him.
But the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, and he cannot change the emperor's mind. He can only pray that Princess Ning'an will look down on Yan Cheng.
But thinking about the stunning face of his second son, Yan Guangyi shook his head helplessly. The possibility of him looking down on him was a little low, as his own son Cheng'er was born too well by his biological parents.
His thoughts returned to him, and he turned to think of the high hopes his younger brother had placed on him. Out of some brotherly affection, Yan Guangyi didn't want to disappoint his younger brother.
"It's been several months since the imperial examination cheating incident, and the vacancies in the capital have almost been filled. I can only do my best. If all else fails, I can only send my second brother out of the capital."
"My second brother is simple-minded and has no talent for being an official. It would be better for him to gain experience in the countryside. Besides, the princes are growing up, and there is no crown prince in the court. It would be better to be sent out than to stay in the capital."
Yan Guangyi's voice became a little unclear when he spoke the last part, and only Chu Yuan beside him could barely hear what he was saying.
Chu Yuan understood what her husband meant. She was not an ordinary woman who turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside.
Thinking of the huge cheating case a few months ago, which implicated the famous tutor Yin and the second prince born to Concubine Yin De, and was even more serious than the minor imperial examination cheating case a few years ago, I still feel a little scared.
