The three sides of the plan were carried out at the same time. Xia Zhiqing and those conscious and thoughtful ladies talked about the plan. Some had concerns and some, like Xia Zhiqing, wanted to change and longed for change. They agreed without saying a word. Others said to think about it.

On the other side, Xia Zhiqing also talked with Jiang Qi. Seeing the longing in her eyes, she couldn't utter words of dissuasion. She conveyed the confirmed news to Xia Zhiwei and made an appointment for a meeting.

"My daughter pays homage to your majesty."

"Get up."

"There are some things that the imperial sister has already told you. If you are willing to come, it means that you agree to Gu's plan."

"Yes, I am willing to join the army and drive out all the people in Lijiang."

"Okay, the tiger father has no dog and daughter, and I will send two secret guards to protect your safety, but after this trip, I can't guarantee that your life will not be in danger."

"Thank you for your concern."

Jiang Qi was sent to the Zhenbei Army in northern Xinjiang for the Menglan Festival one month later.

It is a flower viewing festival, and it is also a day for officials to show their talents. They usually don't have the opportunity to speak, but now it is a fair answer.

"Oh, by the way, Chaoyi said yesterday that she would come to answer the questions too, that she wanted to come to see and see, and you guys should make room."

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Today, Chaoyi walked confidently, and under the watchful eyes of the audience, sat down calmly, and exchanged glances with Xia Zhiwei who was seated midway.

The bell rang, and the question was set, with the topic of how to appease the refugees.The arena is silent, the salsa is rustling, the new robe of white ramie is tender and cool, and the spring eats away at the leaves, and the sound of the corridor?

Xia Zhiwei sat on it, watching them.

Zong Hua stood beside her and poked Xia Zhiwei's back in an unknown place, causing Xia Zhiwei to turn around and look at her reproachfully.

Zong Hua smiled, and whispered to Xia Zhiwei's ear, Xia Zhiwei could not move, for fear that others would see something, and put on a dangerous expression.

"Your Majesty, relax, trust your imperial sister, it's no problem to come out on top. Didn't I overwhelm this question a few days ago? It's a sure win."

Xia Zhiwei: "I'm not worried about Huangmei, you get your claws away from Gu."

Zong Hua smiled, picked it up, and put it on Xia Zhiwei's shoulder: "You haven't had a good rest recently, I'll rub it for you."

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhiwei tilted his head angrily: "Who is to blame for not taking a break?"

Zong Hua rubbed her shoulders, and said with an innocent face, "Didn't Your Majesty find me first?"

Xia Zhiwei suppressed the volume, and said angrily in a low voice: "I asked you to help change the memorial, I didn't ask you to make trouble."

Zong Hua said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, you have wronged me. If I sincerely made trouble, you probably wouldn't have woken up so early today."

Xia Zhiwei's face flushed with shame when he heard this, and he turned his head and glared at Zong Hua angrily. This smug look was really annoying, why did she fall in love with this anxious person.

With a smile in his eyes, Zong Hua said in a breathy voice: "Your Majesty, don't look at me like that, I feel very flustered."

Xia Zhiwei sneered: "You still know you are afraid, so restrain yourself."

Zong Hua blinked her eyes, the smiles in her eyes almost overflowed, and the movements of her hands turned into ambiguous caresses: "Your Majesty may have misunderstood, and I was flustered because of your appearance. It really hooked me."

Xia Zhiwei laughed back in anger, I can't cure you: "Jiang Lang."

Zong Hua lowered his brows and looked pleasing to the eye: "Oh, my minister is here, please give me your orders."

Xia Zhiwei: "I just remember, there will be a Qici meeting tomorrow."

"That, I told the prime minister, and then he said he was going."

Xia Zhiwei said in disbelief, "Will the Prime Minister take the initiative to snatch it?"

It must be this person who spread the news indiscriminately and pushed it to the prime minister.

Zong Hua, who was disbelieved, didn't feel angry, and smiled: "I'm not afraid that the emperor will not let me go."

Xia Zhiwei snorted coldly and said, "Oh, don't worry, if you're the one, you'll be willing."

"Your Majesty is so cruel."

"If I don't deal with you like this, I'm afraid I've already been ripped apart by you."

"Your Majesty, this is wrong. It is a serious matter to tear the bones into the belly. As long as it is a serious matter, it must be done on a good day and auspicious day."

Xia Zhiwei turned his head, and then asked: "Then when is the auspicious day?"

???

!!!

Zong Hua listened to this first, and was still a little stunned for a while, then leaned into her ear, suppressed the volume, and laughed heartily. From the corner of her eye, she also noticed that no one was watching, so she couldn't hold back, and pinched Xia Zhiwei's jaw with one hand , quickly pecked her lips.

After the kiss, he pretended to be terrified and said: "I beg your forgiveness, the minister's lust is unstoppable."

Xia Zhiwei's face was flushed, and he looked around quickly. Seeing the students around them buried their heads in answering the questions, the others were all staring at those students. They relaxed and looked at the troublemaker: "Jiang Lang, you are too presumptuous."

Zong Hua lowered her eyebrows, closed her eyes, and said softly, "It's my fault, I shouldn't be like this."

Zong Hua recognized Xia Zhiwei with suspicion when he admitted his mistake, so he admitted his mistake right now.

"It's all my fault that I lost my eyes for a moment and couldn't resist your majesty's rhetoric. It's my fault, but you are talking more, my majesty, and let me listen more. If you listen too much, I won't be like this. "

Zong Hua put forward it seriously, thinking it was a good suggestion.

Xia Zhiwei turned his head away from looking at Zong Hua, and sneered, "Hehehe..."

Zong Hua stopped teasing Xia Zhiwei, and held Xia Zhiwei with one hand. Xia Zhiwei was held, and his hand twitched outwards. He didn't break free, so he just let him go. People can see.

Zong Hua's gentle and serious words sounded in his ears: "Don't worry, I've already calculated that day. The ninth day of the first month of the next year will be a good day, especially for marriage."

Xia Zhiwei listened and didn't say anything, only the smile on the corner of his mouth showed his master's mood.

After the exam was over, the papers were put away by the attendants, no names were left on the papers, and they were corrected on the spot. First, the prime minister and other people from Wenyuan Pavilion selected three papers that they thought were the best, and the rankings were read out among them.

There are only a dozen or so papers, and the correction speed is very fast, so choose three.Among the three papers, it can be said that they are evenly matched, but some of them have different emphases. They read it on the spot, and Chao Yi at the bottom listened, and she had her own. With a smile on her lips, she gave the emperor brother above her a wink.

The audience and the people on the stage discussed the three papers, each expressing their own opinions. Although they were not selected, they were convinced after listening to those papers, after all, what they said was better than themselves.

"I think this paper is good, it focuses on the hearts of the people, and sympathizes with the suffering of the people."

"No, the suffering of the people, if not cured at its root, is tantamount to repeating the same mistakes. The lower officials think that this answer sheet is worthy of the first place."

"I support it too."

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

Xia Zhiwei held the paper, looked at the audience and asked: "Okay, if that's the case, is this the answer paper made by the Qing family?"

The answerers in the audience looked at each other, and finally they saw Princess Chaoyi standing up, but they didn't take it seriously. No one present, except Xia Zhiwei and Zong Wei, thought that this paper would be answered by Princess Chaoyi, a woman of.

Xia Zhiqing held her head high and said, "Brother Huang, I am the emperor's sister who answered this paper."

Xia Zhiwei feigned surprise on his face, his tone raised, and he couldn't believe it: "Chao Yi, you answered this paper?"

Xia Zhiqing nodded: "Yes, Brother Huang, I answered."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was amazed. They all looked at Xia Zhiqing and muttered: "Princess Chaoyi can answer this paper, she is very knowledgeable."

They all publicly admitted that the paper was excellent. Although they were unwilling at the moment, they couldn't just say that the paper was not well answered. However, losing to a woman, even a princess, was hard for them to swallow.

Xia Zhiwei looked at the expressions of the officials in the stands calmly, and then said: "Good Chaoyi, I am ashamed for not embarrassing your brother."

Xia Zhiqing said arrogantly, "That's natural."

Xia Zhiwei waved his hand: "Okay, since you won the first place, tell me, what reward do you want."

Xia Zhiqing: "Brother Emperor, can any reward be accepted?"

Xia Zhiwei nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, yes."

Xia Zhiqing said with a smile, "Brother Emperor, that sister wants to be an official."

As soon as the words came out, the faces of the officials present changed. They were afraid that the emperor would agree in a stupid way. They wanted to stop it, but they still underestimated the emperor. Their emperor was not confused and directly refused.

Xia Zhiwei frowned and refused without thinking: "It's just nonsense, being an official, how can a woman like you enter the court as an official?"

Xia Zhiqing was not convinced, and argued: "Brother Emperor, that ancestral precept stipulates that women cannot be officials!"

The officials listened, and already had countless reasons in their minds to refute Chaoyi's words, but they couldn't open their mouths now, their emperor was fighting for reason, and what the emperor rebutted was exactly what they wanted to say.

"Presumptuousness, although the ancestral precepts did not stipulate, but since ancient times, have you ever seen that woman as an official? Aren't you fooling around?"

"Then what's the matter, there is no precedent, what if the imperial sister sets a precedent, anyway, I am not bad at learning, and I am very smart."

The officials slandered in their hearts: extremely arrogant, being an official is such an easy task.

"Brother Huang, don't you recruit officials because they are knowledgeable? Look at the comparison of knowledge just now, which one of the officials present beat me, which shows that your imperial sister and I are as knowledgeable as them."

"You are so arrogant just to win a competition."

"Then I don't care, Brother Huang, you said just now that you promised your sister one thing, you are not joking, is it possible that you are going to break your promise in front of these officials?"

The emperor's authority was provoked, Xia Zhiwei patted the table angrily, with a cold face, and anger in his eyes: "Chaoyi, don't talk nonsense, do I spoil you too much on weekdays?"

Chao Yi seemed to be frightened, and immediately knelt down and buried her head very low: "Brother Huang, calm down. The younger sister just wants to be an official for fun, and she doesn't really want to do anything. Brother Huang, calm down."

Chao Yi's body trembled, everyone thought she was afraid, but she was actually not, she was holding back her laughter, she didn't expect that Brother Huang acted decently, he was really good, he was indeed the emperor.

When the emperor got angry, those officials immediately knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, calm down."

"A bunch of trash, even Chaoyi can't compare."

The scene was deadlocked, Xia Zhiwei looked very dissatisfied and glanced at those officials who had failed, as if saying that it was all their fault that he was forced into this situation.

The officials were terrified, all of them lowered their heads like quails, and shrank their necks for fear of offending Xia Zhiwei.

At this moment, the national teacher standing behind Xia Zhiwei came out and spoke: "Your Majesty, calm down, Princess Chaoyi is just a child, so you might as well agree to Princess Chaoyi."

When some officials heard this, they raised their heads and tried to persuade them, but their lord frowned, and said in displeasure first: "How can that be done?"

Zong Hua stood in front of the officials and persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. If you don't agree to Chao Yi, you will be breaking your promise. Besides, since Her Highness the Princess won this competition and said that His Highness is very knowledgeable, give it to her." An official position is fine, with you, Your Majesty, and so many officials around, it is impossible for Princess Chaoyi to cause some trouble."

As soon as these words came out, in the eyes of the officials, it was like blocking the mouth of the king. The implication was that there were so many people staring at him anyway?What are you afraid of.

Xia Zhiqing also hit the snake with the stick: "Yes, brother emperor, I'm good, I won't cause trouble, I promise."

The officials listened, His Majesty's tone was a little soft: "What you said is true?"

Xia Zhiqing: "Yeah, brother, don't worry."

Xia Zhiwei: "Okay, but if you cause any trouble, don't think about being a princess. If something happens, you will be punished according to the law. Gu will not protect you, understand?"

Xia Zhiqing was obedient: "Don't worry, Brother Huang, thank you, Brother Huang, what kind of official position am I?"

Xia Zhiwei stroked his forehead helplessly: "You can think about this matter alone."

Xia Zhiqing: "Oh, then, brother Huang, you have to hurry up, don't delay or you will lose the news."

Xia Zhiwei snorted coldly: "If I promise you, I won't break my promise. At the latest, the day after tomorrow, but you don't want to go to court."

Xia Zhiqing: "Brother Huang, don't worry, sister Huang will definitely get up."
