"Young Master." As soon as Xiao Li left, Shopkeeper Jiang hurried upstairs: "What did that person say?"
Now only the two of them know that the young master is the princess. He has run into obstacles everywhere, and only the princess is a chance.
There was a lot of talk outside about the princess killing her husband. Everyone said that Princess Xuanyang was a cruel and vicious princess. But if the princess was really the person they saw, then the rumors were no longer credible.
There must be something else going on, but for some reason no one from the princess or the royal family has explained it.
Song Junzhan frowned slightly: "She wants bargaining chips, bargaining chips that make her heart flutter."
"Besides money, I can't think of anything else I have, but as a princess, she has everything."
He wanted to convince the princess that he could say a lot about the imperial examination without any preparation. He believed that a woman as knowledgeable as the princess would understand the meaning of what he said, but she did not mention those things, which posed a difficult problem for him.
If you think about it carefully, no matter how good the imperial examination is, it has nothing to do with the princess. He knew that this road was dangerous, but he wanted to pull the princess along, relying only on his passion and empty words. It was indeed a bit presumptuous.
But he really needed her help, and his intuition told him that she could definitely help.
So, what makes her heart flutter?
Shopkeeper Jiang also felt distressed. She is a princess, what doesn’t she have?
Suddenly, the expression on Miss Xiao's face when she looked at his young master at the door flashed through his mind. How to put it, at first glance it was just a faint smile, but when he thought about it carefully, he always felt that her smile carried some unspeakable meaning.
The shopkeeper looked at the young master with a strange expression, hesitant to speak, and finally muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "Who said there are no chips..."
The young master also has a good-looking face, and many girls blush when they see him.
Song Junzhan: "What are you talking about?"
Shopkeeper Jiang shook his head vigorously: "Nothing."
Although what the young master does is important, he must never be allowed to sacrifice his own reputation.
Such things that damage one's integrity are absolutely unacceptable.
Well, although Princess Xuanyang is indeed beautiful, to be honest, the young master is not at a disadvantage at all.
Hiss... No, the more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. There was something wrong with his brain.
------
Xiao Li had been awake for several days. The emperor finally remembered her and specially called her into the palace.
This time the emperor was calm and composed. He did not rush to greet her, but sat upright on the chair and waited for her to pay her respects.
At this moment, the emperor was beaming with joy and looked very proud. The feeling of being in complete power must have been particularly fascinating. It was said that he had recently taken in two concubines.
Xiao Li was in a coma for the past month, but he had a good life.
"Xuan Yang, you're here. Are you feeling better?"
He asked with a concerned smile.
Xiao Li nodded: "It's fine now."
The emperor nodded and said, "That's good. I was really scared when you suddenly fell unconscious for so long."
Xiao Li: I can’t tell.
The emperor waved to her: "Come here."
Xiao Li walked over in confusion, and the emperor took out an imperial edict and said, "Take a look at this."
Xiao Li opened it and found that it was a reward for her. Since she was a princess and could not be given a title, he gave her the two states next to her original fiefdom.
They are both in the frontier, two remote places...how generous.
Perhaps he also felt that he was indeed a little poor, so in addition to this, he also gave him gold and silver rewards, as well as a hot spring villa.
"Why did my royal brother suddenly give me these?"
The emperor smiled and said, "You are a meritorious official this time. I will never treat my sister unfairly."
Xiao Li smiled and continued, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor didn't know if he was too frustrated or what, but he insisted on chatting with Xiao Li, just to listen to him brag.
He said that he let the Lu family go out of consideration for benevolence and righteousness, and he wanted to be a benevolent king who repaid evil with kindness.
He said that the court was now under his control, and his words were final and his orders were enforced.
He said that the world was at peace and he lived up to the teachings of the late emperor.
Xiao Li: “…”
What crime had she committed that she had to listen to this idiot bragging here?
Every minute and every second is torture.
When he stopped to drink tea, Xiao Li pretended to ask casually, "What does the emperor think of the imperial examination?"
The emperor, who had just looked happy, suddenly turned cold and said, "Why are you bringing this up?"
Isn't this attitude a bit strange?
Xiao Li: "I happened to be reading a book and saw that the previous emperor had established the imperial examination system, which was open to all students in the world. I was wondering why this matter cannot be mentioned?"
The emperor's expression softened a bit. "Just tell me what you want to say, but don't go out and talk about the past."
"You're too young to know, but back then, a group of remnants of the previous dynasty wanted to revive the imperial examination system. Father got really angry about this and even killed a lot of people."
Xiao Li: "Wouldn't it be a good thing for the emperor to select capable young men from humble backgrounds?"
The emperor angrily scolded: "You don't understand the affairs of state, so don't talk nonsense, otherwise don't blame my brother for being ruthless."
Xiao Li shut up. She was stupid for trying to tell him these things.
The emperor was like a beast that had just been released from its cage. He felt that the whole world belonged to him. At this moment, his control over the court had reached its peak, and he didn't want to make any changes at all.
Perhaps he also looked down on those from poor families.
Arrogant and self-willed, his vision determines that he will never see the drawbacks of aristocratic families in power.
------------
It was two hours later that Xiao Li finally came out of the imperial study. God knows how many shocks she had experienced in those two hours. She looked haggard.
