"There is really no way to enter the palace to meet the emperor." The housekeeper looked embarrassed, and after saying this he secretly observed Eunuch Quan's expression.
Seeing Eunuch Quan's expressionless face, the housekeeper felt a little confused. If it were in the past, Eunuch Quan's face would have been gloomy, so why didn't he look angry today?
"Does this mean that Your Highness and the other two can't enter the palace today?" Eunuch Quan had some helplessness in his eyes, blinking frantically to hint to the butler.
"Oh, yes, it will be difficult not only today, but tomorrow as well." The housekeeper saw Eunuch Quan winking at him and knew that Eunuch Quan was warning him.
But he was just a steward, and he had no way of deciding what his master thought. Moreover, Master Xu and his Highness had already expressed their feelings to each other, so he was half his master.
They themselves were unwilling, so even if Eunuch Quan winked at him madly, there was nothing he could do.
The helplessness on his face was real helplessness.
When Eunuch Quan saw the butler like this, the corners of his mouth twitched. It wasn't the first time they met, and they had known each other for quite some time, so how come there was no tacit understanding at all?
He couldn't even understand the most basic eye contact. It was such a waste that he had stared at her for so long. Now, there was really no one who could save him.
I'm tired, just destroy it, it doesn't matter who I love.
"Hmph, it means that they can't enter the palace to see me. Then when I come here, will they see me or not?" Emperor Gan walked out from the pile of guards at the back and snorted coldly.
He knew that these two brats would definitely cause trouble for him, so he came here with the intention of testing them, but he didn't expect to find the problem as soon as he saw them.
If he hadn't had the sudden urge to disguise himself as a royal guard today, he would have been pissed to death by these two little bastards when he received the news in the palace.
"Your Majesty, perhaps there really is something going on between His Highness and Young Master Xu." Eunuch Quan quickly turned around and helped Emperor Gan sit down.
Although he could complain as much as he wanted, when it was time to help Emperor Gan find a way out, he still had to find a way to do it.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty." When the butler heard what Eunuch Quan said, coupled with Emperor Gan's self-proclaimed title, he shuddered and knelt down.
So this is what Eunuch Quan meant just now. He really did, this time he really offended the Holy Emperor.
"Hmph, what could happen? He's seriously ill. Can I kill him with that one blow?" Emperor Gan sat on the chair with an unhappy look on his face. He had never seen anyone making excuses not to enter the palace, and he had never seen anyone make such perfunctory excuses.
If it was any other reason, he could still pretend not to know how to swallow this breath, but this reason now was like swallowing a fly alive, which was too disgusting for him.
Eunuch Quan felt helpless after being criticized by Emperor Gan, and could only give the butler a helpless look.
"Oh, the weather is still good today, why is His Majesty so angry?" Xu Tianze and the second prince heard Emperor Gan's roar from outside, and thought to themselves that it was as expected.
They knew something was wrong. According to Eunuch Quan's personality, he should have followed the butler to the door and blocked it. But he was waiting obediently in the front hall, which was really wrong.
When they thought about Emperor Gan's impulsive personality and saw him losing his temper as soon as they arrived, they knew that it was right for them to come.
"Hmph, nice weather? You really are a liar." Emperor Gan glanced at the gloomy weather outside, which was still tinged with the lingering summer heat.
With the weather being like this, only Xu Tianze could say it was good weather. It was hot, stuffy and humid, so what was good about it?
"It's naturally good weather for your Majesty to go on an incognito visit." The second prince came in fanning himself and bowed respectfully to Emperor Gan.
Emperor Gan snorted coldly without saying anything. Now, seeing the second brother looking so relaxed and comfortable, he felt a little unhappy.
Normally, every son would be scared to death when they saw him. But now that they knew they had lost the chance to compete for the throne, they just let themselves go.
"Your Majesty, is this all because of the imperial examination?" Seeing that Emperor Gan was still being arrogant, Xu Tianze couldn't help but change the subject.
Then he kicked the butler, signaling him to leave. After all, the butler was still kneeling on the ground. Not to mention winking, even gestures probably wouldn't be visible.
The butler received the signal, looked up at the second prince, and when he saw the second prince nod, he stood up and walked out silently.
When Emperor Gan saw Xu Tianze and the Second Prince cooperating with each other, although he still looked a little dissatisfied, he didn't say anything.
After all, he has already imposed all the penalties that should be imposed. What happens next is up to Xu Tianze and the others.
"Since you know, why don't you prepare to enter the palace?" Emperor Gan glared at Xu Tianze unhappily. He had been waiting in the palace for a long time, but Xu Tianze never took the initiative to enter the palace.
There was no other way, so he announced the decree directly. However, he was afraid that there would be trouble, so he had to dress up and come in person.
When Xu Tianze heard what Emperor Gan said, he just smiled and pulled the second prince to sit on the other side.
When Eunuch Quan saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched, but when he saw Emperor Gan looking at him, he just looked up and stared at the roof, as if there was something special about the roof.
When Emperor Gan saw that Eunuch Quan was not cooperating with him, he kicked him directly. When he saw that Eunuch Quan was kicked, he withdrew his leg without changing his expression.
In an instant, Emperor Gan felt a lot more relieved. It turned out that it was better to vent the anger directly, otherwise he would really get sick.
"Your Majesty, what kind of imperial examination do you want?" Xu Tianze pretended not to see and directly poured a cup of tea for the second prince.
The second prince didn't say anything when he saw this, but Eunuch Quan held an extraordinary position in Emperor Gan's heart.
Even though Eunuch Quan cried out in pain after being kicked, any discerning person could see that he didn't use any strength in that kick at all.
"Hmm? Then tell me, what is the imperial examination like?" When Emperor Gan heard Xu Tianze's words, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
As we all know, the imperial examination is to select talents. The form of the imperial examination and various related processes have long been regulated. Now Xu Tianze actually asked him what kind of imperial examination he wanted.
Is it possible to come up with a new trick on this?
Xu Tianze is not the kind of person who has wild ideas. He should understand that his actions have been seen by everyone. If he wants to make any changes, not to mention the time limit, it will not be allowed.
Even if time permits, the old guys in the court will not agree. After all, the imperial examination concerns the interests of all of them.
"Your Majesty, there are three types of imperial examinations: mutual protection among officials, division of students among disciples, and fairness and justice. Which one does Your Majesty want?" Xu Tianze raised his head, his eyes clear and blank.
