How to Be a Male Queen

[Go to Ping Wang's house to steal questions]

Two fluffy little gray ears protruded from the brown hair, shaking and froze.

Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, put down his hands reluctantly, and only looked greedily with a pair of eyes.

Jian Hao felt his ears itchy, so he raised his hand and scratched it.

Huh?

Thin white fingers picked at the ear and pulled out a small gray hair.

His Highness King Ping's heart trembled, and he grabbed that hand subconsciously.

Curious, Jian Hao tried to grab it with the other hand, but was held by Qin Yuan again.

Jian Xiaoshizi was not annoyed, but bent his ears down and squinted his eyes to see, "Is there hair growing on my ears?"

His Highness Prince Ping didn't know how to speak.

Jian Xiaoshizi said indifferently: "That day I dreamed that my ears grew hair, and my beautiful mother said that we all have the blood of the wolf god, and after the age of 15, the ears will grow hair - I thought it was my mother's coaxing I didn't expect it to be true."

Jian Hao scratched his hairy little ears, and borrowed the mirror of Prince Ping's Mansion to take a look. Apart from the initial surprise, his mood was actually very calm.

He had a faint feeling in his heart—this is his truest appearance.

Jian Hao shook the tips of his ears casually, as if he had stretched himself, very comfortable.

Qin Yuan's heart moved, and he asked sharply: "His Royal Highness will also transform?"

Jian Xiaoshi nodded his head, then stopped quickly, and looked at Qin Yuan vigilantly, "Why should I tell you?"

Qin Yuan touched the furry ear, slightly raised the corners of his lips.

Jian Xiaoshizi puffed up his face and muttered, "Would it be strange?"

"No." His Royal Highness Prince Ping's voice was cold and crisp, with the strength of a superior, very convincing.

Only then did Jian Xiaoshizi smile with satisfaction.

He was anxious to go back to show off his ears to Princess Anya, so he hurriedly bid farewell to Qin Yuan, and emphasized: "You said you would give me the little white horse, you can't go back on it!"

"Yes." His Royal Highness Prince Ping was somewhat reluctant.

"I'm going to take it back today!" Jian Xiaoshizi pushed forward.

"No one in the princess mansion will raise Dawan horses. This king will raise them for you. You can come and see them anytime."

Jian Hao looked at him suspiciously - did this man regret it, that's why he said that on purpose?

His Royal Highness Prince Ping said at the right time: "Bai Chi is kept in the stable next door, so we can also see it together."

Jian Xiaoshizi's eyes lit up. Compared with the little white horse, the handsome and great big white horse is obviously more attractive.

"Then I will come here often in the future!" Jian Xiaoshizi said domineeringly with his hips akimbo.

His Royal Highness Prince Ping smiled slightly, wishing for nothing.

The matter of the dragon boat power plant was brought up by some ministers in the court, but the emperor waved his hand and said indifferently, "What's the use of a kid's stuff?"

Turning around, I discussed the construction of Yongle Palace with officials from the Ministry of Industry.

The left and right exchanged a look, and they both saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.

Li Qing from Zhongshushe breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

After the morning court, he and his three sons-in-law went home in Li's carriage.

With a straight face, Li Qing lectured seriously: "It's a blessing that His Majesty didn't pursue this matter, and you must never let Li Shu mess around again in the future!"

The three son-in-laws all nodded in agreement.

Li Qing glanced at Yue Minglang, then turned his face away, and talked to his third son-in-law, Ning Zixi, about the upcoming door test.

Ning Zixi took his time and responded to Li Qing's question respectfully but not obsequiously.

Back in Li Mansion, Li Qing took his three sons-in-law to pay his respects to the old father as usual.

Old Xiangye Li squinted his eyes and said a few words to his son weakly, and then sent him away without any reason, leaving the three grandsons-in-law behind instead.

Li Qing has long been used to his father's preference for his grandson-in-law.

It has to be said that Prime Minister Li has gone through three dynasties, and the reason why he is admired by others is not only his profound knowledge and outstanding achievements, but also his attitude towards the concept of family status-although Mr. Li came from a family, he never refused Disciples make friends.

Take the marriage of the grandchildren as an example. Li Shu has seven older sisters, five of whom are married. Except for the elder brother-in-law who came from a special background, the other four are all well-educated children from poor families.

Li Shu was brought to the south of the Yangtze River by Mr. Li to raise him personally since his birth. At that time, Yue Minglang, Min Jiangbai, and Ning Zixi had not entered Beijing. A grandson-in-law.The five grandparents and grandchildren have been together day and night for more than ten years, and their relationship is very close.

After Li Qing left, the old man changed his half-dead appearance and immediately became energetic.

Even though Min and Ning met each other many times, they still couldn't help the corners of their mouths twitching.

However, Yue Minglang reported without changing his face: "The matter of the propeller was brought up by the two lords Yu and Chen this morning, but I have not paid any attention to it today."

Old Xiangye Li's complexion darkened.

Yue Minglang continued: "The construction of Yongle Palace has entered the late stage, and all the income from the Xishan Gold Mine has flowed into the Ministry of Industry."

Old Prime Minister Li looked at Min Jiangbai.

Min Jiangbai nodded heavily, "The gold from Xishan is indeed used for the Yongle fortification, but it is not enough."

It was rare for Mr. Li to get angry, "It's just a Taoist temple, but a mountain of gold is used to fill it! The heavy gold is not used for the army or the people. Qin Sheng, Qin Sheng, he is really not afraid of God's punishment!"

Yue, Min, and Ning lowered their heads, and their expressions were not very good.

When the old prime minister was almost done venting, Yue Minglang saw the right moment and said, "Xiaoshu told me yesterday that he wants to take part in this summer's door examination."

Old Prime Minister Li's expression changed, and he asked instead: "Prince Ping presided over this year's Menyin Examination?"

Yue Minglang nodded, "[-]% possible."

Mr. Li pondered for a moment, then said, "Then let's participate!"

***

"Menyin test" is the top priority of the Great Xia Dynasty in early summer.

The Great Xia Dynasty has always clearly stipulated that even if the children of officials and eunuchs enter the officialdom through the door, they must take a formal examination and select the best.

Although there are still some disadvantages, at least it is better than the original elite system, not at 01:30.

Unlike the rule that the imperial examinations are presided over by the Ministry of Rites, the chief examiners of the Menyin Examinations have always been served by clans with certain merits or official positions.Only in this way can the family dispute be suppressed to the greatest extent.

The emperor officially issued an edict that this year's Menyin Examination will be presided over by His Royal Highness Prince Ping and co-organized by the Ministry of War.

Such an arrangement is enough to show that Qin Yuan will stay in Beijing for a long time, and that the Ministry of War has officially been included in the sphere of influence of His Highness King Ping.

Although he has tried his best to avoid it today, Qin Yuan is not a good person.In addition, the emperor was obsessed with the construction of the Yongle Palace, but the matter of King Ping was left behind.

Qin Yuan seized this opportunity and gained a firm foothold in the capital.

Originally, the three little friends made an appointment to take part in the door test together, but Li Shu was severely spanked by his father with a board.

If Mr. Li hadn't arrived in time later, the soft and cute little pear would have turned into a rotten pear without a butt.

At this time, Li Shu was lying in Yipinxiang's guest room, complaining with red eyes, "You don't know how painful it is to hit the board! If I hadn't thought about the agreement with you at that time, I would have compromised."

An Muxi patted his head, a smile rarely appeared on his usually cold face.

Jian Hao squatted beside the bed, looked at his swollen buttocks and laughed, "Monkey butt."

Li Shu gave him a hard look, then simply turned his head away and ignored him.

But Jian Hao leaned over meanly and asked curiously: "Little Lizi, why did your father beat you? My grandmother and beautiful mother were very happy when they heard that I had an exam, and they even wrapped me a big red envelope." , let the three of us eat something good and make up for it."

Li Shu rolled his eyes at him, and said mercilessly: "Can I compare with you? You will be praised by your husband if you memorize a 'Zi Yue'. If I write two words less, I will be punished."

Being ridiculed, Jian Hao pretended not to understand, shaking his head happily - anyway, it wasn't me who was spanked!

It was An Muxi who said seriously: "You should take the imperial examination, not the door."

Li Shu had a bitter face, he was beaten because of this!

According to his father's original words, "Everyone in our Li family was born as a Jinshi, but they actually went to participate in the sect with you? It's better to kill you now, so as not to embarrass the ancestors of the Li family following you!"

An Muxi was also a little puzzled, "Why?"

Li Shu pouted, and said sullenly: "The imperial examinations have always been one in a thousand, which is too cruel."

The word "cruel" was learned from Jian Hao.

"You're sure to be able to go to high school." An Muxi said compliments with a blank expression.

Jian Hao also nodded in agreement, "I also think that if you fail the exam, then no one in the entire Great Xia Dynasty can pass the exam."

Li Shu finally grinned, revealing two shallow dimples, "You guys think highly of me. To tell you the truth, the reason why I didn't take the imperial examination was not because I was worried that I would fail the exam, but because I was worried that if I passed the exam, I would occupy my place in vain. Go for a spot."

Thinking of the scene of the three brothers-in-law studying hard day and night despite the cold and heat, Li Shu sighed, "The imperial examination is undoubtedly the only way for poor children to change their destiny. Since we have other opportunities, why should we compete with them for this one-of-a-kind opportunity?" Quota?"

It has to be said that Li Shu's idea is extremely different in the Great Xia Dynasty.

In this dynasty, no matter from a poor family or a family, entering an official position through the imperial examination is a matter of honoring the ancestors.The more aristocratic the family is, the more they care about such a reputation, so they don't think about whether they will occupy the quota of the poor family's children.

More importantly, the past dynasties have followed an unwritten rule-the two prime ministers of the court, and the important officials before the imperial court, all of them were born as Jinshi.

Li Shu expected that this situation would change with him.

——I have to say that Xiaolizi is also an ambitious pear!

Jian Hao patted Li Shu's thigh, and praised without hesitation: "Little Lizi, you are really a tall, powerful and admirable pear!"

Not only was Li Shu not half-joyed, but he grinned and exhaled in pain, "Hey, brother Jian, don't shoot, it hurts!"

"Ah, I'm sorry." Jian Hao rubbed him without sincerity, which made Li Shu grin his teeth again.

Jian Hao didn't care, rolled his eyes, and said slyly: "I have a way, all three of us can pass the exam..."

Although Li Shu felt that he could pass the exam even without Jian Hao's "method", he was still a little curious, "Brother Jian, what can you do?"

Anmusi also looked at him suspiciously.

I don't know what came to mind, Jian Hao smiled secretly for a while, and then said: "The wall of Prince Ping's mansion is so easy to jump, I can go to his house to steal questions!"

Li Shu's eyes widened suddenly, and An Muxi also froze there, not knowing how to react.
