In the Jia Mansion of Rongguo Mansion,

The two girls had inadvertent confrontations at the side door several times, and they often tried to test things secretly, but every time Li Wan solved the problem silently, and Wang Xifeng had to return without success. Later, when Brother Zhu's accident happened, Li Wan took care of him alone.

Children are no longer targeted.

From then on, we basically didn't see each other often in our respective lives. Especially after Wang Xifeng became the housekeeper, he became even more busy and didn't even have the chance to meet.

Li Wan, the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, has been deeply aware since then. She doesn't care about everything, she just wants to take care of her own Lan'er, and wants to take the imperial examination like his father and make a difference.

Seeing such a scene,

Wang Xifeng's beautiful eyes glanced away and then a look of thought flashed across the pretty Danfeng's eyes.

Just a sudden response;

"I see, I forgot about this. The clan school in the mansion has been started a long time ago. Lan'er must have already enrolled in school. It was my negligence."

As the wife of the housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng is in charge of all the major and minor affairs of the house for her aunt. All kinds of people are well-informed in their hearts, especially the gossips of the servants.

My sister-in-law has a pure heart and few desires, goes deep into the investigation, and never causes trouble, which is also rare.

Although Li Wan is a young woman and a widow, she doesn't want to trouble others, and she has a slow-tempered temperament. She smiled and said;

"Girl Feng, if there's nothing else, I'll go back now. It's almost time and Brother Lang is about to finish school."

Wang Xifeng also smiled and watched Li Wan leave without asking what happened.

Ping'er only spoke when he saw the person walking away;

"Grandma, I feel like something is wrong. Look at the angry faces of the two maids behind Grandma Zhu. What must have happened outside the house?"

"I know, what does that have to do with me? Stop minding other people's business. It's not easy for my sister-in-law to be alone. Come and walk around with me."

"Yes, grandma."

Wang Xifeng walked slowly around the yard twice as if nothing was wrong.

"Ping'er, what do you think the second master is doing now?"

Ping'er answered without thinking,

"Then what else can we do? The Dali Competition is approaching, so we have to intensify our training. At least we can get a better ranking in the Dali Competition."

Wang Xifeng nodded secretly,

"That's right. My eldest brothers Wang Ren and Jia Lian have been appointed as infantry lieutenants by my uncle. I heard that the elite battalion commanding the capital camp each has 5,000 troops, and they were arranged by my uncle to participate in the competition."

Ping'er said "Ah" next to him, and quickly covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound, with a look of shock in his eyes.

"It's true, grandma, the second master is up."

Wang Xifeng nodded proudly.

outside the capital,

Zhang Jinyu was not in a hurry to enter the city, but waited for the old camp to set up camp again and settle down before ordering the guards to ride and prepare to enter the city.

Before leaving, he worriedly asked Ning Bian to guard the camp again, and Ning Bian was unequivocal and agreed.

Zhang Jinyu pulled the reins, adjusted the direction, and ran towards the inner city.

"drive,"

"Drive, get out of the way."

The guard who was clearing the way in front was not polite and chased the crowd to get out of the way.

It left a domineering impression on many people and spies.

Naturally, Zhang Jinyu didn't know other people's opinions. She just wanted to get to Dauchi as soon as possible and deliver the 50,000 war horses away, lest the border troops come to cause trouble.

After riding for a while, they finally arrived at the Ouchi Imperial Palace. Zhang Jinyu could not help but admire in her heart, this capital is so big, and the palace is so beautiful.

There are countless red walls and yellow tiles, endless palaces of different sizes, and antique carved beams and painted buildings. This palace gate alone has exquisite decorations, and the most striking place is a majestic and majestic place with flying dragons and phoenixes.

Zhang Jinyu sighed in admiration and threw the horse to the guard. She dismounted and came to the palace gate to report her intention. Unexpectedly, Eunuch Yang, the eunuch, led the small yellow gate and was waiting for her here. After seeing the person, Greetings right there,

"Master Marquis, it's been a good journey. The Emperor has been waiting for you at the Yangxin Hall."

When Zhang Jinyu saw this, he quickly stepped forward, took out a small banknote from his sleeve and handed it over.

"I'm sorry to have troubled my father-in-law to wait for so long."

Eunuch Yang skillfully caught the banknote and turned it over with his palm, and the banknote disappeared. He invited with a smile,

"Master Hou, you can go in with the Za family when you are ready."

Zhang Jinyu also sincerely nodded in agreement. These eunuchs are very sensitive and cannot afford to lose the big for the small.

"Master Hou, please."

"My father-in-law, please come first. I am not familiar with this road either!"

"The Za family will lead the way for Mr. Hou."

After saying that, he led Xiao Huangmen into the palace gate, followed closely by Zhang Jinyu. After entering the palace gate, he saw the original appearance of the palace clearly. It can't be described in words. The nine-curved corridor with carved beams and painted buildings, and the countless decorations with flying dragons and phoenixes. The large and small palaces of the Qing Dynasty and the steps made of white marble all show the luxury and authority of the royal family.

Zhang Jinyu was secretly dumbfounded. She was indeed extremely respectful on the surface, but she still needed to be developed in a wretched way.

Along the way, Eunuch Yang also introduced the rules in the palace and the etiquette of meeting the emperor from time to time. Hearing that he had to kneel down when meeting the emperor, Zhang Jinyu felt a little conflicted in his heart. He still had to kneel down despite his status. You can't help yourself in the arena.

Seeing the father-in-law who was leading the way still talking nonstop, Zhang Jinyu couldn't help but sympathize with her. There are so many rules in my world, and if I make a mistake one day, I have to take off my skin. It's really not a place for people to stay.

"Master Hou, is there anything you don't understand?"

"Uh, no more, thank you father-in-law for informing me,"

"That's good, we'll be there soon."

Zhang Jinyu looked at the eunuch in front of him who was over fifty years old. Although he looked distinguished, he was cautious in everything, and couldn't help but say something.

"My father-in-law is not easy either. I would like to thank my father-in-law again today."

Eunuch Yang paused after hearing this and then returned to normal.

"The Marquis is interested. Well, when meeting the Emperor, if the Emperor is drinking tea or writing, you must not disturb him. Wait until everything is over before the Emperor asks questions and then answers."

Zhang Jinyu never thought that her unintentional words would be repaid in this way. She also lamented that things between people are sometimes very simple, especially people with physical disabilities, who are even more sensitive. Now she understands.

When we arrived at a large courtyard with deep scenery, the sense of mellowness and tranquility was palpable. It was obviously different from him. The word "quiet" stood out. I think the emperor was also afraid of noise, just like ordinary people.

"Master Marquis, we're here. This is the Yangxin Hall. You can just go in."

Eunuch Yang stopped at the entrance of the palace and did not enter. Instead, he motioned for him to go in directly. Zhang Jinyu quickly adjusted his armor and clothes and thanked him again.

"Thank you, father-in-law. I will remember your kindness in leading the way. I will definitely have a drink with my father-in-law when I am done."

"Shan, please remember that Zajia, please come in, don't let the Holy Master wait in a hurry."

"Then I will go in."

Zhang Jinyu took a deep breath in the yard, then walked in with her head held high and her chest high.

When I arrived at the entrance of the temple, I naturally pushed the door open. As soon as I entered the Yangxin Hall, I felt a sense of warmth. Even though there was only one door between them, it was still a world of ice and fire, and there was only a faint scent of sandalwood in the room.

, and there is no smell of charcoal fire or wood smoke. The ancients were so powerful.

Zhang Jinyu was stunned and didn't see where the fire was burning in the main hall to keep warm. Another point was that this hall was very big. Where to go now? Zhang Jinyu was confused for a moment, thinking that the Yangxin Hall was just a big house. Who knew that there were partitions, doors and windows inside?

There are so many of them, one next to the other, they have become small rooms. I am afraid that if something goes wrong, I will be stuck there temporarily.

Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong had been waiting in the study room for a long time. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he knew that Zhang Jinyu was coming, so he stood up and picked up a brush, preparing to write a calligraphy for him.

Zhou Shihong concentrated on writing carefully, with flowing clouds and flowing water, and the writing was like clouds of smoke. A picture of four big characters of loyalty and courage flying on the fine rice paper.

Zhou Shihong blew it and was very satisfied. When he raised his head, he did not see the figure of Marquis Luo Yun. He was greatly surprised. Emperor Wu put down his pen and said to Dai Quan standing aside,

"Go and see, where are the people?"

"It's Your Majesty."

Dai Quan was also curious. He heard the sound of the door opening, but no one came in. If the emperor hadn't been writing there, he would have gone out to take a look.

Dai Quan walked a few stalls and came out. He saw Luo Yunhou standing in the door and not moving around. Dai Quan asked,

"But His Excellency Zhang Jinyu, Marquis of Luoyun."

Zhang Jinyu finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw an old eunuch coming out. It was so depressing.

"Hui, my father-in-law is this prince. May I ask my father-in-law your surname?"

"Our family name is Dai. Before entering the palace, we named each son Quan. Please call me Eunuch Dai."

"I've met Eunuch Dai."

Zhang Jinyu didn't dare to trust the emperor. The old eunuchs who could serve the emperor were usually the general manager of the palace, or at least the deputy general manager.

"Well, it's okay. By the way, why is the pestle here not going in?"

"Replying to Eunuch Dai, I don't know the road. I'm afraid that if I go wrong, I might bump into some noble person, which would be bad, so I can only wait here."

Only then did Dai Quan look at the man standing at the door. He was young, handsome and handsome, with an extraordinary appearance. He was really the best among men. His figure was handsome and tall, and he was even more heroic when he was wearing a suit of armor. He was like a Marquis of Luo Yun.

The key is that this behavior is very honest, let's see if it is really honest in the end.

"Just follow me. Don't be afraid. This is the emperor's residence. Those nobles live in the harem and are out of reach."

"Yes, Eunuch Dai, thank you for clarifying my doubts."

The two soon arrived at the study room of Yangxin Hall. Zhang Jinyu only saw a middle-aged man in a dragon robe, sitting behind the only desk in the room. He was not very tall, but there was an invisible aura coming to him.

He was calm and confident, with a round face and a pair of eyes that were reserved and sophisticated.

This was the emperor of Dawu, and he was indeed very imposing. Zhang Jinyu thought that since he was here, he still had to kneel down and worship, so why not make something special? He immediately strode past Dai Quan and knelt down on the ground with a "plop". Zhang Jinyu felt pain.

Grinning, it’s over!

I forgot to wear armor.
