Chapter 245 White Lotus Blossom

The top scorer was in such a heavy mood, let alone the others who ranked lower.

Luo Xiaoquan was the god of war who was favored by Bei Jingchu, and he relied on policy theory to raise his ranking.

No one came to visit him, and Luo Xiaoquan was frantically practicing calligraphy, writing poetry, and practicing abacus.

My wrists are sore from practicing these days, but the results are not as good as I expected.

The teacher said that with his ability, he was very lucky to be admitted, and he met an examiner who appreciated his policy essays.

But it is difficult to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi.

Some even advised him not to come to the capital, as it would be a waste of time.

Without improving his other abilities, he will always be limited to lifting people.

When he was invited to the Rain Tower and heard that Princess Tianyuan wanted to seduce him, he thought he was hallucinating.

"Your Highness, can you help me pass the imperial examination? Otherwise, I am just a child and may not be able to hold an official position. I may just be idle for the rest of my life and will be of no use to Your Highness."

He couldn't help frowning.

Although this is beneficial to him, scholars are also opposed to cheating.

It turns out that the officialdom is so dark, and just one word from the princess can make him a Jinshi.

Then it would be easy for other nobles as well...

Just as he was lost in thought, cursing this dark court in his heart.

The girl said in disgust, "What are you thinking about?"

"A son can become an official, but it is difficult for him to get promoted."

"But now that you have caught His Highness's eye, are you still worried that there will be no opportunities in the future?"

"As long as you have the ability, it doesn't matter if your fame is higher or lower, okay?"

Luo Xiaoquan: ...I'm sorry, he was just thinking the wrong thing.

This one is even easier to convince.

But except for a few clear-headed people, Haoyue's progress was not smooth.

Haoyue went out with full confidence, and came back with head down and dejected.

"Your Highness, they are going too far."

Seeing her being beaten so badly, Bei Jingchu laughed and said, "What's the matter? Didn't you recruit anyone?"

Haoyue shook her head aggrievedly: "No, Your Highness has listed a long list, and we are sure to catch a few if we cast a net."

"They are just some bastards who are prejudiced against His Highness. When they heard that it was His Highness who invited them, they started to scold women for not being able to wake up at dawn like hens."

"Some say that the hearts of snakes and scorpions are the most poisonous, and the hearts of women are the most poisonous."

"Some say that only women and villains are difficult to raise."

"I dare not make too much trouble. If I take them all away, your reputation will be further tarnished."

Haoyue was very angry, but Bei Jingchu remained unmoved.

[A bit boring~]

[It's the same few words over and over again, isn't there anything new? ]

[Scholars are not very good at creating words. ]

[No, there are also people who write poems to scold me.]

[There are a few pieces of good writing.]

But she didn't show any disappointment at all, and cursed: "That's too much!"

Haoyue:......

She didn't want to talk to the princess anymore.

She turned around and found that Lord Qian, who had a heavier task than her, was already lying down.

"Master Hou, have you found everyone?"

Bei Qin lay leisurely on the recliner and laughed at Haoyue: "I'm not like you, holding back your anger and wasting time trying to persuade those idiots."

"If you are not satisfied with my cousin, you will be sent away immediately."

"Prejudices are not so easy to change."

Bei Jingchu silently agreed in her heart: [Indeed, Haoyue is a little silly.]

[But she is my little maid, so I have to bear it myself. ]

Bei Jingchu still looked gentle, but Haoyue couldn't hold back her tears and shed tears of grievance.

Bei Jingchu: ? ?

【What happened to this child? 】

[I scold her too! ]

In the past two years, corrupt officials were cleared out and many positions became vacant.

Bei Jingchu took advantage of her opportunity to place all the people who had joined her in the positions they should be in.

My reputation has already sunk to its lowest point, so it's time to fight back.

Her method is simple: just spending money.

Such as opera singers, storytellers, and writers of storybooks.

Everything that has something to do with entertainment is praised by her.

When people want to discredit her, they dare not mention the title of Princess Tianzhen. They only dare to make up a non-existent princess and then associate her with her.

But Bei Jingchu didn't have such concerns.

Just use your real name and exaggerate it to the sky, exaggerate as much as you can.

Money makes the world go round.

With the money earned from the Tan family's business and the land tax paid by Tianzhen, Bei Jingchu's private treasury was full.

Well, plus she usually picks.

That's called increasing resources and reducing expenditure. All property should be stored in a dedicated warehouse.

The effect of spending money is immediate.

The Shangsi Festival on March 3 is a good day to wash away dirt and get rid of evil spirits.

Officials and citizens from the capital would come to Qujiang Lake to soak in the water.

On this day, sacrifices are also held by the pond.

It is a day for officials and citizens to enjoy themselves together.

For those who have a purpose, it is also a day to socialize and chat with people they would not normally meet.

Bei Jingchu also came to the edge of the pool, twisting a string of round and full sandalwood beads in her hand, looking very calm.

Changyan teased her, "Your Highness, have you recently been influenced by the Queen Mother and started to believe in Buddhism?"

"But I haven't seen you chanting or praying, so why do you always hold these beads?"

Bei Jingchu asked mysteriously, "Do you know any Buddhists in the Beijing circle?"

Long smoke:?

"Anyway, I just carry a Buddhist rosary with me and walk around without worrying about what I eat, what I drink, what I don't like, or what I do."

"It just... feels very profound."

"Buddhist beads are a great way to show off!"

The little princess was spinning around holding the Buddhist beads in one hand, with her brows lowered.

If you didn't know how she died, it would be really scary.

The little girl was mumbling something, like reciting scriptures, with a very sad tone. Only the maids and guards who were close by could hear it: "The male lead is still pretentious enough in the script."

"From today on, I am Bei Jingchu, the Buddhist disciple of the Beijing circle!"

Changyan: ...Although I don't understand what Your Highness is saying, you look like someone who deserves a beating.

There were so many people at Qujiang Lake that an old woman in front was squeezed to the ground.

Bei Jingchu asked someone to help her and went to find a doctor at the same time.

After being helped up, the old woman thanked the doctor but refused to go see him.

"Girl, I can go by myself in a while."

"Sincerity is the most important thing in sacrifice. I want to pray for Princess Tianzhen again."

Hearing that it was him, Bei Jingchu's ears pricked up.

"Princess, you have suffered too much injustice."

"It was originally a matter of punishing corrupt officials and seeking profit for the people, but he was wrongly accused for two years."

"It's said in the play that Her Royal Highness was let down by the people and was very sad."

"I am getting thinner and thinner, crying all the time, and I have no desire to eat or drink."

"Even when people greeted her with pain, she responded with kindness."

"What a beautiful white lotus flower that grows out of mud without getting stained!"
