The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Cen Yuan glanced at Wei Yuzhi, and sat down first, his voice still calm, "Stand up and talk, sit down."

Wei Yuzhi did not hesitate and stood up, but did not sit down. He just stood in front of Cen Yuan and lowered his head and asked, "If..."

He clenched his fists and kept saying "if" for a long time, but no if came out.

Instead, Cen Yuan's usual calm voice was like thunder in my ears, "If I liked her, she would have been married. I would not disturb her, nor would I make things difficult for her."

Wei Yu widened his eyes, surprised that Mr. Yu guessed what he was going to ask at once, and even more surprised that Mr. Yu actually answered such a boring question.

The gentleman used to be a man of few words, but today he said more, "If she is worried about every step she takes, I will remove the obstacles for her; if she has ambitions that she cannot realize, I will help her realize them one by one; if she can only look up at the square courtyard inside the high walls, I will help her have a broad horizon outside the high walls; if she..."

He stopped abruptly after the last two sentences.

It should be that if she needs someone to defend her country, he is willing to go to the battlefield for her, sacrifice his life and shed his blood;

If she needed someone to return to the country to withdraw the troops, he was willing to wear the dragon robe and give orders for her.

She is his iron wall, and he is her salvo of arrows.

When Wei Yuzhi left in a hurry, the teacher's calm voice was still ringing in his ears.

Every word seemed to be directed at him, but every word also seemed to be the gentleman's heartfelt words.

It was as if the gentleman had experienced it personally... Wei Yu walked out of No. 9 Ruyi Street and wandered through the streets and alleys like a lost soul.

Just as he turned the corner and was about to go home, a panicked woman suddenly ran out from the darkness and bumped into his chest.

She cried out "Ouch!" and when she saw that it was a middle-aged man, she immediately shouted "Young man, help me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, two big men jumped out from behind her and shouted, "Where are you going to run to!"

Wei Yuzhi was originally in a depressed mood, but once his eyes fell on the woman's face, he couldn't move them away.

His heart trembled, and he protected the woman behind him, frowning slightly.

At this time, two big men approached fiercely, "Mind your own business! Get out of the way!"

Wei Yu did not move an inch, and only asked the woman, "Why did they arrest you?"

The woman burst into tears, "My brother lost the bet and used me to pay off his debt. But, but I've been engaged and will be getting married soon... I..."

Wei Yuzhi's heart trembled again. He somehow remembered what Cen Yuan said: If she is so nervous, I will remove the obstacles for her.

He asked, "How much gambling debt do you owe?"

The two strong men said in unison, "Ten taels."

Wei Yuzhi took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and threw it over, "Get lost!"

To be honest, he only lost ten taels, no more. This was the horse his father rented for him to take the exam.

When taking the riding and archery and horse spear tests, the candidates had to provide their own horses. The reason he didn't have to spend money was because Yunqi Academy had already provided them.

After getting the silver, the two strong men naturally stopped pestering and ran away.

The woman knelt down in front of Wei Yuzhi and kowtowed, "Sir, I am so grateful for saving my life."

As she spoke, she raised her tearful face...that face made Wei Yuzhi's eyes darker.

She looked at least 70% like him, with a round face, a pair of clear black and white almond eyes, a straight nose, and a slightly open mouth. If she hadn't been wearing a patched cloth, he would have thought it was that girl.

He couldn't help but wonder if the girl looked like this when she was wandering around and suffered a lot.

His thoughts were churning, but he said calmly, "Get up, it's no big deal." Then he was about to go home.

The woman grabbed the corner of his clothes in a hurry, "Sir, please wait..."

Wei Yu turned his head and looked down at him, "Anything else?"

The woman quickly loosened her clothes and said, "No, it's okay. I want to ask your name, sir. In the future, I..."

Wei Yuzhi looked at the face for a moment, said nothing more, and strode away.

Listen to Lan Yuan, Jing San came back to report, "Young Master, Master Wei has returned home."

Cen Yuan nodded calmly, "Keep a close eye on him and don't let anyone take advantage of him."

When a person is frustrated, and has such a sensitive identity, it is not surprising that someone wants to target Wei Yuzhi.

Jing San said, "Someone is really planning to take advantage of Master Wei."

"Hmm?" Cen Yuan picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Which one is it from?"

Jing San hesitated for a moment, "I haven't found out where she is from yet, but this girl... looks like the young master's wife."

Cen Yuan frowned, "Are you testing my students' character for me? Are they similar?"

"Six or seven points similar. But the woman looks very miserable, totally different from the young master's wife who is calm and noble." Jing San asked, "Should we deal with it?"

Cen Yuan shook his head. "No need. Just leave it alone and keep an eye on it. Find out who sent it."

Jing San took the order and left.

Shi Anxia then walked into the room slowly. Seeing that Cen Yuan's brows were very gloomy, she asked, "But what happened?"

Cen Yuan dismissed the waiter in the room, "It's a small matter. I'm just afraid that you will feel uncomfortable after hearing it."

Shi Anxia sat on the chair next to Cen Yuan and smiled faintly, "Aren't there enough things that make you feel uncomfortable? I don't mind one more."

Cen Yuan asked, "Do you know why Wei Yuzhi lost two points in a fight with me today?"

Originally, Wei Yuzhi was the first person to catch the eye of Emperor Mingde, but who knew that he would ruin all the glory by himself.

At the last moment, he failed because of the word "stupid".

Shi Anxia pondered for a while, but still said, "I guess it's because you are my husband?"

Cen Yuan glanced sideways, "You know?"

"I just found out." Although Shi Anxia was very thoughtful, she was a very slow person in terms of emotions. She would not be so self-righteous as to think that everyone was in love with her, otherwise she would not have speculated that Cen Yuan came to the Marquis' Mansion for Hong Que.

Her frankness made Cen Yuan feel relieved. "Just now, a woman who looks like you deliberately approached Wei Yuzhi."

Shi Anxia frowned, "Similar?"

This is really a bit disgusting.

"And then?" If something happened between Wei Yuzhi and this woman, it would not only implicate the Wei family, but it would also make it difficult for them to meet. Her sister-in-law would be in a difficult position being caught in the middle.

"Nothing happened. Wei Yu went straight home." Cen Yuan did not hide it. "Don't worry, I will find someone to keep an eye on him."

The next day, there were both military and civil examinations.

The so-called literary examination is to memorize the martial arts classics.

Most of the students who took part in the military examination did not have much knowledge, and being able to recite from memory the classic sentences from a few classic military books was already considered quite good.

The martial arts examinations in previous years basically followed this routine. And when the candidates entered the examination room today, they thought it would be the same as usual.

Unexpectedly, this year is different.

It was not until they entered the examination room that the candidates learned that in addition to the normal memorization of martial arts classics, there were additional test items, including military tactics, geographical knowledge, and simulated combat.

This was an order issued by Emperor Mingde himself, and the test questions were set by him personally.

When the news came out, the candidates were caught off guard.

When the test questions were handed out, not only the candidates from other academies were confused, but even the candidates from Yunqi Academy were confused.

This, this, this... Didn’t the teacher of Yunqi Academy teach this?
