Chapter 295 Just Get Used to It
Mu Nanjin checked the information of the female officials.
During the scientific examination in the year she left, because the emperor's edict that women could also take the scientific examination was too sudden, many girls who had studied were not prepared. Therefore, only Si Yuhuan entered the palace examination and got the exam. To the second place in the top three.
After that, all women's imperial examinations, like men's, had to start from children to become scholars and then to be candidates. Only three people who could go all the way to the palace examination could enter the palace examination, and these three were disciples brought by Si Yuhuan, so the emperor was very fond of Si Yuhuan. He is full of praise and will be promoted from Si Yuhuan, a fifth-rank official, to Si Ye, a third-rank official.
If other officials were to jump to two official ranks in a row, they would definitely be opposed. However, the Imperial College lacks a senior official position, and there are very few people with as much ability as Si Yuhuan, so there is no objection to being promoted to the third rank. Si Yuhuan's female disciple also just entered the court this year as an official, and she is also a seventh-rank official, so she is not qualified to go to the Taijin Palace.
Speaking of female officers, the luckiest ones are the girls who practice martial arts. As long as they meet the requirements of first-class warriors, they can join the military camp and become soldiers. The higher the martial arts level, the higher the official rank. Now General Sha Pingai has established a When entering the women's military camp, as long as there are people with real abilities, General Sha will report their names to the emperor, who will then grant them official positions.
After Mu Nanjin read the messages from the female officials, his eyes returned to the Taijin Palace again.
The emperor looked at the officials below with a smile.
The old officials looked unfazed, because they saw that the emperor would not call their names, and Mu Nanjin already knew them, so it didn't matter whether he called their names or not.
Therefore, it was the new officials who should be worried. They lowered their heads and wished they could huddle up and hide behind the old officials so that the emperor would not see them.
The emperor looked at the shrinking turtles one by one, feeling indescribably amused.
Officials who used to risk their lives to remonstrate with you, where has your courage gone?
I was frightened by a little girl today. It's really embarrassing.
[Emperor, you smile so obscenely. 】
The emperor's expression froze.
"puff--"
Zuo Xiang and the others almost couldn't hold back their laughter, and quickly lowered their heads and bit their lower lips.
[It must be a happy event for the emperor to smile so happily despite his serious morning appearance. 】
[Let me see what happy event has happened to the emperor. 】
The emperor stood up quickly and said loudly: "Retreat from the court."
The new officials breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said: "Congratulations to the Emperor."
The emperor left in a hurry.
A new official said: "I just felt like I was going to be executed by Lingchi. The tense atmosphere made me breathless."
The old official patted the new official on the shoulder and said, "Just get used to it, and what happened today will happen again and again in the future."
"No way, what else?"
The old official hummed: "Do you think the emperor will let you go easily?"
New officials: "..."
Outside the Taijin Palace, Mu Nanjin immediately became energetic when he heard that the court was retreating.
[Hehe, you can go home and catch up on some sleep. 】
She walked towards the stairs in front of the Taijin Palace, and saw Commander Gu coming towards her: "Master Mu."
[I have a hunch that my plan to go home to catch up on sleep will be ruined. 】
"Master Mu, the emperor asked you to come to the imperial study room to have a talk."
"oh."
Mu Nanjin walked to the imperial study room.
Thunderbolt followed behind.
Commander Gu said: "This little brother doesn't need to follow."
Mu Nanjin stopped and said to Thunder Hammer: "Senior, just wait for me outside the palace gate. I'll come as soon as I go."
Commander Gu added: "Master Mu, the emperor not only wants to catch up with you, but also invites several ministers to have breakfast together. I'm afraid he won't be able to leave in a while."
Mu Nanjin said to Thunder Hammer again: "Senior, you go back to Mu Mansion first. I will go back after breakfast."
"Okay." Thunder Hammer didn't like standing aside and listening to them reminiscing about the past, so he turned and left.
Commander Gu made a gesture of invitation: "Master Mu, please."
"Um."
Mu Nanjin and Commander Gu went to the imperial study room together.
Commander Gu knew that Mu Nanjin didn't like to talk, so he didn't chat with her. But just because she doesn't like to talk doesn't mean that she doesn't like to talk about her inner voice.
[General Gu is a blessed man. Not only has he become a close confidant of the emperor, but he also has a virtuous wife who keeps the house in order and never lets him get distracted. 】
A smile appeared on Commander Gu's lips. He was lucky to have a free wife in his previous life, so he was very satisfied with his current life.
He dared to say that Mu Nanjin couldn't find much fault with him, so he was not afraid of Mu Nanjin exposing his secrets at all, because he didn't have any shady secrets.
[Because of this, Commander Gu had the illusion that as long as his wife was taking care of the family, everything would be fine. In the end, he became indifferent to family affairs and didn't even know that the elderly and children in the family were sick. 】
Commander Gu was slightly startled. Is his family member sick?
But why didn't he hear his wife tell him about this matter?
Commander Gu thought about the situation of returning home carefully. Every time he returned home, he would either lie down on the bed and sleep, or else he would leave the house in a hurry. His wife seemed to want to talk to him many times, but he always said she would wait for him. Going back to talk about it, in the end there was not much communication between the two of them.
[What an unfilial son, he is neither worthy of being a husband nor a father, huh. 】
"..."
Commander Gu couldn't wait any longer. He quickened his pace and took Mu Nanjin to the imperial study room. He then quietly borrowed the imperial doctor from the emperor and took him out of the palace.
After he left, the emperor took Mu Nanjin to the Imperial Garden.
"You little girl, you have been gone for so many years. You should already know that Daqian Kingdom has undergone earth-shaking changes in these years, right?"
Mu Nanjin nodded slightly: "Yes."
[Nothing escapes my notice. 】
[I even know you secretly farted just now. 】
[Because I was embarrassed to make any noise, I could only hold back and let it out little by little, hehe. 】
"..."
The emperor looked at the ministers sitting in the pavilion not far away and twitched the corner of his mouth.
Isn't it too late to drive her out of the palace now?
The emperor didn't want to talk to her, otherwise he would be mad at her.
He quickened his pace towards the pavilion.
The ministers quickly stood up and saluted: "I have met the emperor."
"No gift."
The emperor's eyes moved around them, and finally stopped on the young man.
The young man stepped forward and said with respect, "My son, I have met my father."
"Yes." The emperor turned to Mu Nanjin and said, "Mun Nanjin, this is the prince, the prince I established a year ago."
Mu Nanjin cupped his hands and said, "I've met the prince."
The emperor asked Mu Nanjin: "Mu Nanjin, how is my prince?"
Mu Nanjin: "..."
When the emperor saw that she was silent and did not hear her inner voice, doubts flashed in his eyes.
The other ministers looked at each other. There would be no problem with the prince they chose from thousands of people, right? (End of chapter)
