The soft and sticky crown princess is reborn and throws herself into the arms of the crown prince

Mu Yunchen just stood there in a daze, looking at his Crown Princess in disbelief as she was coaxing her child.

So he is already behind Mu Zhiyu?

Not long after the Chinese New Year, the capital was as lively as ever. From around January 15th, a large number of students began to pour in.

Mu Yunyu had already prepared a fake identity for Ali Zhuomu, and Ali Zhuomu mixed in with many students under the guise of a descendant of the Lu family of Fanyang.

Let’s take part in this year’s spring exam together.

The elegant aura he exudes and his handsome face are enough to make people remember Fanyang Lu Xiaoyu at a glance.

The two most popular candidates in this spring examination are Lu Xiaoyu and the other one is naturally the Crown Prince's disciple, Ouyang Xuan.

Ouyang Xuan had long been a popular candidate for this year's Spring Examination, not to mention that he was also a disciple of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Lu Xiaoyu was a rising star who became famous overnight because of his eloquent speech in the inn where the students lived.

Since then, it has become a hot topic of conversation among everyone in the capital, and even some daughters are very curious about this man they have never met.

Before the Spring Examination began, it seemed as if they had already seen that Lu Xiaoyu had passed the exam, and they all asked their fathers and mothers to pay attention to this young man.

Once the spring examination is over, he will be brought into the mansion as a son-in-law when the results are announced.

Even Ouyang Xuan did not receive such great treatment, because Ali Zhuomu's human skin mask was so handsome.

How could those noble ladies in the capital city have imagined that the man they dreamed of day and night would be an old man over 40 with a wrinkled face.

Being so outstanding, she naturally attracted Mu Yunxu's attention.

As the chief examiner of this spring examination, he had already seen the information of all the candidates in advance, and he had indeed seen the descendants of Fanyang Lu.

I didn't expect he had such an outspoken personality.

I hope his ability outweighs his flamboyance.

Mu Yunxu finally found some free time to go to the Prince's Mansion. When he entered the study, Mu Yunchen was just arranging the site for this spring examination.

We must ensure the safety of the students and not make any mistakes.

Even Mu Yunchen used the personal soldiers given to him by the emperor.

Originally, this matter was not under Mu Yunchen's jurisdiction, but later the Ministry of Justice handed it over to Mu Yunchen, and naturally the responsibility of protecting the safety of the capital also fell into Mu Yunchen's hands.

"Brother Crown Prince."

When Mu Yunchen heard this, he looked up and saw Mu Yunxu standing at the door of the study, so he put down his pen and called him in.

Mu Yunxu always remembered that he could go anywhere in the Prince's Mansion, except for two places he was absolutely not allowed to go to without permission.

One is the study of the Crown Prince, and the other is naturally the bedroom of the Emperor's sister-in-law.

"come in."

"Seventeen, go make tea for His Highness the Ninth Prince."

After Mu Yunchen gave instructions to Bi Shiqi, he turned around and looked at Mu Yunxu. Before Bi Shiqi walked out, she saw the Crown Princess coming towards her with her maid.

Bi Shiqi took a quick look and thought, there is no need for him to make tea, as the Crown Princess is here.

There were two maids following behind Mu Peiyun, one holding a teapot and the other holding a plate of cakes.

Mu Yunxu saw Mu Peiyun from a distance and shouted with a smile: "Your Highness greets the Empress."

A hint of surprise flashed across Mu Peiyun's face. When did Yun Xu come?

She had only prepared tea and snacks for His Highness, and now...

Mu Peiyun turned around and gave Bi Shiqi a few instructions, then walked straight into the study.

Mu Yunxu was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. What...what was going on?

Didn’t the Crown Prince say that no one is allowed to enter his study without permission?

Even he, the Crown Prince's most beloved younger brother, had to wait at the door and get permission before entering.

How come the Empress's sister-in-law came in just like that...without any fuss?

On the other hand, the Crown Prince showed no sign of being angry at all, and even smiled at the Empress Dowager!!

Mu Yunxu felt that his brain was shattered and he could no longer experience the sweetness of love.

But he reached a world where he was alone and hurt.

"Yun Xu came at the right time. Let's try the new cakes made in the kitchen."

Having said that, Mu Peiyun asked Sujiu and Suniang to place the tea and snacks next to Mu Yunxu, and then sent the two girls to wait outside.

Mu Yunxu was extremely happy when he saw this.

When he was a child, he was ignorant and always worried that his brother the Crown Prince would no longer love him after he married the Crown Princess.

Later, when I grew up, I felt that this idea was quite childish, but now I don’t think so.

The emperor's sister-in-law is as good to him as the crown prince and his brother. Isn't it good to have one more person caring about him?

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Thinking of this, Mu Yunxu reached out and picked up the pastry on the table. Just as he was about to put it into his mouth, it was suddenly knocked away by someone.

Mu Yunxu looked angrily towards the place where the book was thrown just now, but when he saw Mu Yunchen, his arrogance suddenly weakened.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Mu Yunchen pretended not to see the grievance on Mu Yunxu's face and glanced at the pastry in his hand.

Mu Yunxu understood instantly and asked tentatively: "Brother...Brother, how about you try it first?"

As he spoke, he tactfully put the pastries back on the plate and pushed the plate towards Mu Yunchen.

Mu Yunchen then picked up a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth with satisfaction. It tasted slightly sweet, soft, sticky and smooth. It seemed that his Qingning's cooking skills had improved recently.

Mu Yunchen knew that this plate of pastries must have been made by Qingning herself, which was why he didn't give it to the brat Yunxu.

What Qingning makes can only be given to him.

Mu Yunxu looked at Mu Yunchen's satisfied expression and couldn't help swallowing, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

I could only mutter in my heart that the Crown Prince was such a stingy person that he wouldn't even allow me to have a piece of cake.

Later he would ask the Empress's sister-in-law to tell him how to make the pastry, and then go back to the mansion and ask the chef in the kitchen to make two large bowls of it and eat until he fainted.

However, Mu Yunxu was just thinking about it casually. After all, wasting food was shameful. There were still many hungry people in the world suffering from famine. He must not waste food.

Mu Peiyun sat aside and watched the two of them playing with a faint smile.

Why did she feel that His Highness had become more childish since becoming a father?

Just a few days ago, she accompanied Xiao Zhiyu to sleep, but in the middle of the night, Xiao Zhiyu was taken away by His Highness.

He said that the brat took his place.

Today he felt that Yun Xu had stolen his cakes.

Is it possible that Your Highness is going backwards as he gets older?

Soon, Bi Shiqi prepared tea and brought it in, and the study room finally got down to business.

"Is everything going well?"

Mu Yunxu nodded and said, "There's nothing wrong."

"Did anyone give you a list?"

Mu Yunchen asked in a gentle voice. He remembered that Yun Xu's mansion a few days ago was much more lively than his prince's mansion.

Mu Yunxu nodded again, then took out many pieces of paper of different sizes from his arms and placed them in front of Mu Yunchen.

"This was handed over by the Minister of Rites, and the Duke of England, ..."

"Almost half of the officials in the court have handed me lists."

Mu Yunchen glanced at the list and vaguely saw a few names on it - Xiao Kuangcong, Cao She...

"Are there any people on this list that you value most?"

Mu Yunxu frowned and shook his head: "I have learned about these people. They are just ordinary people without much real knowledge."

"However, the most outstanding candidate in this spring exam, besides your disciple Ouyang Xuan, there is another person who can be ranked first."

"Oh? Tell me!"

Mu Yunchen became interested, with a faint smile on his lips, and motioned Mu Yunxu to continue.

"My royal brother may have heard about it. He came from Fanyang. The Lu family of Fanyang is the second largest literary family after the Situ family."

Mu Peiyun asked in confusion: "But the person who has been making the rounds in the capital these days is called Lu... Lu Xiaoyu?"

Hearing this, Mu Yunchen raised his eyes and looked at Mu Peiyun: "Qingning knows?"

Mu Peiyun nodded: "A few days ago, I went to Bai Shaoqing's house to chat with Madam Bai about the past, and I happened to hear her mention it."

"It is said that this Fanyang Lu has some real talent and knowledge, and even Master Yu has high praise for him."

Mu Yunxu nodded in agreement and said, "At the beginning, his lofty speech in the inn attracted praises from people all over the capital. Later, I went to learn about it and found it really admirable."

Mu Yunchen always felt that this matter was not that simple. Speaking of the Fanyang Lu family, it was obvious that they had fallen into decline after being suppressed by the Situ family in the early years.

Now it is the spring examination time, and he suddenly appeared again, causing such a big commotion and causing an uproar in the whole city.

Doesn't this go against the low-key and restrained behavior of the Lu family of Fanyang?

Mu Yunchen felt that it was indeed a bit suspicious, but he had not discovered anything unusual yet.

"What did he say?"

Mu Yunxu thought carefully for a while, wrote down what Lu Xiaoyu said at that time, and handed it to Mu Yunchen.

Mu Yunchen looked at those remarks and frowned thoughtfully.

His words are full of hatred for evil and his views on contemporary current affairs are quite unique. No wonder he resonates with so many people.

Mu Yunchen suddenly thought, could it be possible that such a prominent person is alone?

Even if he wants to, there will be people who won't let him do so.

"Whose disciple is he?"

Mu Yunxu shook his head quickly: "This is what I admire most. That man is very principled. Even though many people have tried to recruit him, he has never had any ambiguous relationship with any minister."

Mu Yunchen put down the rice paper, his eyes fixed on the front, and said lightly: "That is indeed a righteous and selfless descendant of the Lu family!"

"When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy. You must be on guard against others. Your father has entrusted you with such an important task since you just came to the throne. You must remember to be careful."

Mu Yunchen still wanted to give a few words of advice, although he knew that Mu Yunxu was grown up now and would be able to do things properly.

But as an elder brother, Mu Yunchen was still very worried when he saw that the person he had raised was now involved in this bloody storm with him.

"Yes, I will remember your teachings."

Mu Yunchen glanced at the mess on the table, pointed at the lists and asked, "What are you going to do with these?"

Mu Yunxu thought for a moment and replied: "They are all insignificant people. We should deal with them impartially. As long as they don't show favoritism or commit fraud, they probably won't be included in the list."

I don’t know why those officials in the court have such poor vision. None of the disciples they choose can achieve great things.

But it's just as well, as it saves him from having to think about it carefully.

"Although the situation in the court seems calm on the surface, the ambitions of the ministers are obvious in secret, and everyone wants to gain more power in the court."

"So, if I want to seek absolute fairness in the Spring Examination, I am afraid that the ministers will obstruct me."

"Now is not the best time. Fortunately, the most promising ones are not anyone's disciples."

Of course, except Ouyang Xuan.

Mu Yunchen nodded, indicating that he agreed with Mu Yunxu's approach.

It is inevitable that officials will stuff people into the spring examinations, and this has been going on for years, and the imperial court has never taken any action to stop it.

To put it bluntly, it has become a common occurrence.

If they suddenly take action at this time, it will inevitably affect the entire body, so they can only ensure relative fairness and act according to circumstances.

"Okay, if you have nothing else, you can go back first."

Mu Yunxu stood there in a daze, holding the teacup. The tea was still hot. Why did the Crown Prince start to chase people away?

Seeing this, Mu Yunchen couldn't help but retort: ​​"Why? Is it so easy for you to be the chief examiner? Why don't you go back and review your lessons!"

"Yes, my brother the Crown Prince."

"Sister-in-law, I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Mu Yunxu put down the teacup and walked out awkwardly, looking very aggrieved from behind.

Mu Peiyun sighed and said, "Your Highness, why are you so mean to him?"

Mu Yunchen disagreed: "Does this count as me being mean to him?"

Who dared to eat the cakes made by Qingning just now? It was good enough that he didn't get beaten.

Mu Peiyun just smiled helplessly and said nothing.

As soon as Mu Yunxu left the Prince's Mansion, he went straight to see Tutor Yu. Tutor Yu had been the chief examiner of all the Spring Examinations in previous years, and was also the deputy examiner this time. His experience was priceless.

Mu Yunxu thought that he must seize this opportunity to learn from Master Yu.

Lu Xiaoyu was reviewing his lessons with other students in the inn. Seeing that everyone was very serious, he suddenly covered his stomach and slipped away to the toilet.

Then he sneaked around several intersections and entered the Prince Heqin's palace.

Seeing someone coming, Mu Yunyu asked coldly: "Are you ready? Have you read the book I gave you?"

When Lu Xiaoyu heard the tone of the words, he felt dissatisfied with Mu Yunyu.

No matter what, he is Mu Yunyu's uncle. Even if he is down and out now, he is still an elder after all.

But Mu Yunyu relied on his status as a prince and was so disrespectful to him that Lu Xiaoyu was really angry.

But one has to bow his head under the eaves, and in the end he could only swallow all his resentment.

"Looked."

Mu Yunyu curled his lips, everything was under control.

"It's good to have read it. I know Damu's test questions well. If you pass the exam, it will be worth my efforts in cultivating you and hiring Damu's teacher for you."

Ali Zhuomu was a Li Ge person, and Mu Yunyu put a lot of effort into making him learn the Mu country's writing.

If not for this, Ali Zhuomu might not even be able to understand the language of Mu State, let alone take part in the Spring Examination.

Ali Zhuomu did not let Mu Yunyu's hard work go to waste. Although the learning process was painful, he finally learned something.
