Yuxiu Palace.
Early in the morning, the magpies were calling non-stop on the branches.
"Princess, the magpies are chirping. Could there be some happy event happening today?"
Bai Zhi looked at Shen Yuyao with a smile on her face.
Shen Yuyao was playing "Date Grinding" with Xia Xiaoxian, which made Xia Xiaoxian giggle.
"Is there any good news? I want to hear it too!"
Xu Yunxuan just stepped into the room and when she heard about the good news, she hurriedly asked about it.
"Baizhi said there were magpies chirping in the yard."
Shen Yuyao replied with a smile.
"I just don't understand. Don't magpies sing every day?" Xu Yunxuan shook her head. "How can there be happy events every day?"
"Hearing the magpie's call proves that you are still alive. Being alive is a happy thing!"
Shen Yuyao smiled slightly.
"Little Immortal, is that right?"
"play!"
"Listen, even the little fairy treasure agrees."
"Okay, okay, okay, if Princess Xiaoxian says so, then let's do it!"
Xu Yunxuan couldn't help but laugh. The little princess looked really likable.
"Princess, the Emperor's eunuch Li is here to announce the decree!"
Zi Su stepped in and said hurriedly.
"Okay, follow me to the palace to receive the order."
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Prince Ning's principal wife, Shen, and his concubine, Xu, request to leave the palace and rest in Huang'en Temple. I grant your permission. I decree this."
After announcing the imperial edict, Eunuch Li said with a smile on his face:
"Prince Ning's Consort Shen, Consort Xu, please accept my order!"
"I accept your order. Long live the emperor!"
After Shen Yuyao received the imperial edict, Eunuch Li raised his hand, and the palace maids behind him presented two red cross-collared right-fronted tops, two black narrow skirts, two phoenix belts, two pairs of black boots, and two black gauze hats to Shen Yuyao.
"The Emperor specially gifted the two princesses a set of python robes and a set of flying fish robes for their convenience."
Shen Yuyao signaled Zisu and Baizhi to put the two sets of clothes into the house.
Eunuch Li took out another token from his bosom and said:
"Princess Ning, the Emperor has given this to you. From now on, Princess Ning, you may enter and leave the palace at any time, and you may report directly to Fengtian Hall."
Eunuch Li looked fawning. After following the Emperor for so many years, this was the first time he had seen him show such appreciation for a woman.
Shen Yuyao took the token and took a look. It was an oval copper waist badge with the words: Anyone who meets the commander can wear a poem badge and leave the four gates of the imperial city without the need for a captain.
This is the Black Dragon Guard Token!
Shen Yuyao bowed and said, "Thank you, eunuch!" When Eunuch Li turned around, Shen Yuyao gestured to Baizhi to hand over a few ingots of silver.
Eunuch Li smiled and put it into his sleeve, then led the palace maids towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
......
inside the house.
"Wow! This outfit looks so good on me! Princess, are we Black Dragon Guards now?"
Xu Yunxuan put on the outfit that belonged to her and kept turning around in front of the mirror.
"It seems that the magpie's call early in the morning is quite effective!"
"Stop turning around. You're making me dizzy."
Shen Yuyao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She knew that once she put on this dress, it would be difficult to take it off!
When she returned last night, she had already guessed that the emperor would make such arrangements.
The only thing Shen Yuyao didn't expect was that the emperor actually gave her two sets of clothes.
She had inadvertently dragged Xu Yunxuan into this, which was not her intention.
Last night at 11:30 am, she went on another night trip and first went to Ling Xiangxiang's Yongning Palace.
It seems that Ling Xiangxiang was really favored, as she was sent back to Yongning Palace at midnight.
Shen Yuyao hid on the roof until midnight, when Ling Xiangxiang was alone in the bedroom. Then she stuffed the letter into Ling Xiangxiang's bedroom door.
Afterwards, Shen Yuyao went to the Prince's Eastern Palace.
When the Crown Prince returned from Fengxian Palace, the Crown Princess was busy applying a hot compress to his knees with an wormwood bag. At this moment, Shen Yuyao, dressed in black and wearing a veil, flashed into the Crown Prince's bedroom.
The Crown Princess was so frightened that she almost screamed out loud. When she saw that the person coming was Shen Yuyao, her face was full of confusion.
The prince, however, had a faint smile on his face, his expression calm.
Shen Yuyao was about to salute when the prince said:
"Princess Ning, there's no need for formalities. You sneaked into my Eastern Palace late at night. I'm sure you have something very important to tell me. Just tell me directly."
The prince said softly.
"Your Highness, I went to Banshan Academy yesterday. I met a student who is both talented in literature and martial arts. If nothing unexpected happens, she will win the top spot in both civil and military examinations!"
Shen Yuyao bowed and said.
"Ah? There really is such a talented person?"
A hint of surprise flashed in the prince's eyes. No one in the Great Xia Dynasty or even in the previous dynasty had ever been able to win the top spot in both civil and military examinations. Such a talent was so rare!
"pity......"
The look of regret in Shen Yuyao's eyes made the prince even more confused.
"how?"
"This man's surname is Zhang and his name is Ying. Unfortunately, he is from the previous dynasty!"
Shen Yuyao felt really sorry for Da Xia. It would be great if Zhang Ying was a member of the Da Xia tribe!
"Even if the people of the previous dynasty can sincerely submit to our dynasty, they can still be of use!"
The prince's eagerness to seek talented people is obvious.
"The most regrettable thing is that she is a princess of the previous dynasty. She changed her name and stayed in our dynasty to take the imperial examination in order to assassinate my father!"
"this......"
The prince was also stunned for a moment.
No matter how outstanding a person is, if he wants to become an enemy of our dynasty, he can only bear the pain...
"Then how can she take the imperial examination if she is a princess?"
The prince was still full of doubts.
"This is exactly why I came here so late at night!"
Shen Yuyao smiled lightly, and the calmness in her clear eyes always made people feel at ease.
"Your Highness, Zhang Ying of Banshan Academy is well aware that with his true talent and knowledge, he can secure a place in the top three."
