Chapter 50 The Negative Scholar in the Opera

Mrs. Zhou knew why the two people's attitudes changed so drastically.

But it was impossible for Jiuer to really live in Renshou Palace until she got married.

Today's glory is just a castle in the air.

And Zhou Huanjiu herself in Renshou Palace finally confirmed that the strange voice that had been reminding her was the princess's voice.

This, this, this...this is too unbelievable.

However, Zhou Huanjiu had no time to think about her feelings because she had to go to school.

The emperor threw her directly into the Hongwenguan.

Hongwenguan is a special school for royal relatives and nobles. In fact, when Zhou Yu was still the Duke of Xin, Zhou Huanjiu was also qualified to come.

But Zhou Yu didn't want to waste his spot on her.

In order to keep up with the learning progress at Hongwenguan, Zhou Huanjiu was busy day and night.

She was particularly envious of Bei Jingchu who lay there and slept soundly all day.

In order not to disturb Zhou Huanjiu, Bei Jingchu didn't want to stay in Renshou Hall anymore.

The old father, who had been waiting for many days, finally saw the heartless daughter willing to go home.

But now the situation is very socially dead.

Because now is the last stage of the imperial examination - the palace examination.

The candidates sitting below, frantically writing policy essays, have all become Jinshi.

The final stage is the palace examination, where the emperor personally selects the top three from among these people.

In fact, the third place in the Tanhua is very exaggerated. Although it is said to be the top three, it is not necessarily the third place, but the most handsome one among all the Jinshi.

The only sound in the solemn examination room was the rustling of papers. The emperor walked back and forth, observing the candidates answering their papers, looking very majestic.

If he hadn't been holding a baby.

Bei Jingchu was so embarrassed that she dug another Xuanshi Palace with her toes.

[Ding~ Issue a mission to stop the top scholar Tong Huai'en from turning evil.]

[Duration of the mission: three months.]

[Reward Points: 300]

[Hmm? Tong Huai'en? ]

This person is the big boss in the original novel. After the male protagonist grows up, he has become a powerful official, and a treacherous one at that.

The party unites to fight against dissidents and excludes those who are different from it.

In the early stages, the male protagonist had to avoid the edge of this powerful official and keep a low profile.

The result is that he turned black?

Bei Jingchu opened the [Information] interface and searched hard, and finally found the gossip about Tong Huai'en.

After reading it, she burst into tears.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaa—”

A loud cry of a baby was heard in the quiet examination room, and all the candidates who were concentrating on answering their questions looked up.

Then, fearing to offend the Emperor, he lowered his head, but his eyes were still vaguely glancing over here.

emperor:……

There was almost a black pound sign on his forehead.

Now all he wants to do is beat the kid.

I took Bei Jingchu down and was about to warn this little thing when I heard a burst of shocking information.

[This is like a plot from some opera, the courtesan and the poor scholar fall in love with each other and she helps him go to the capital to take the imperial examination.]

[The other girls advised her that such people were ungrateful. If he didn't pass the exam, he might even admit it in the end and just ask for your money.]

[When he passes the exam, he will be able to land on the first sword and kill the person he loves first. ]

【But the courtesan still took a gamble. 】

【Then Tong Huai'en passed the exam and was ranked third in the imperial examination. 】

As soon as the emperor heard Tong Huai'en's name, he knew who he was. He was a Jinshi candidate whom he had high hopes for.

He is extremely talented, and his strategies are bold and feasible.

If he wasn't too young, he would have chosen him as the top scholar.

As he happened to be very handsome, the emperor planned to appoint him as the third place in the imperial examination to calm his temper.

The young man's thoughts continued: [When Tong Huai'en passed the imperial examination and was in high spirits, he did not forget the courtesan. ]

[Everyone thought he was going to cheat her out of money, but no one thought their feelings were real. He really liked Xiangqiao very much.]

[However, Shangshu Youcheng Tian Hong saw his potential and wanted to find him as their son-in-law.]

[Tong Huai'en certainly wouldn't do it, he already had a girl he liked, and they had agreed that after this exam, he would marry her no matter what the result was.]

[Tian Hong didn't take the young man's sincerity seriously at all. He thought he was a man, and a big pig's hoof, so he thought other men were big pig's hoofs. ]

[I think that after a few years, Tong Huai'en rose to a higher position and after seeing so many beautiful women, he forgot about his former confidante.]

[He forced Tong Huai'en to marry his daughter, but Tong Huai'en would rather die than obey. Tian Hong couldn't do anything to the third place winner personally selected by the emperor, so she let him go.]

【Tong Huai'en was in and out of the officialdom at that time, and naively thought that he would be fine if he refused.】

[He returned home in great wealth and with a betrothal gift, and even found an inn before he arrived at the destination.]

[He washed off all the dust, combed his hair neatly, put on the imperial robes, and even put a flower in his hair, and went to meet her happily.]

[Tong Huai'en knew that marrying a woman from a lowly family would be bad for his career, but so what?]

[Without her, there would be no Tong Huai'en who has leapt over the Dragon Gate now. ]

[When he arrived at the place, all that was left for him was a green tomb.]

【This is the price of his refusal.】

[Tian Hong couldn't do anything to the emperor's chosen scholar, but she treated a prostitute as easily as killing an ant.]

【Then Tong Huai'en turned evil, and power became his only pursuit. He finally succeeded in his revenge, but the dragon slayer eventually became the evil dragon.】

[He could no longer find his original intention of living for the people. ]

Emperor: ...I don’t quite understand.

But he respected.

Isn’t he just a Shangshu Youcheng?

For the emperor, it was as easy as crushing an ant.

…

In Pingzhou, the news that Tong Huai'en was selected as the third place in the imperial examination came back first.

The sisters in Lianhuayuan were all very happy.

"Xiangqiao can finally leave this hell."

But some people were jealous: "She is now a top scholar and an official. We are not even good commoners. How can she be interested in him when he is in power? Don't come back to kill people and silence them. It's good enough to erase this stain."

Seeing Xiangqiao's bad face, one of them hit the girl and said, "Can't you stand seeing others doing well?"

Although Xiangqiao herself is unsure, after all, most people are not optimistic about them, but she still believes in Huailang's character.

At this moment, the door was kicked open, and the wooden door hit the wall with a loud bang.

The brothel owner tried to stop him, "Sir, sir, if you have anything to discuss, please talk to me. Don't force your way in."

The leader, Zhuang Ding, waved her away: "Get out!"

Then he looked into the room: "Who is Xiangqiao?"
