Chapter 676: Prince Yong's Plan

"The Imperial Examination Hall is open."

Following a loud shout from someone unknown, the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked towards it.

In the carriage of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, Gu Yankai stood outside the car and looked towards the door eagerly.

Not far away, in the carriage of the Duke of Qi's mansion, Princess Pingning quickly gave instructions to the servants.

"Quick, look for Brother Heng, go quickly."

The people in the Duke of Qi's mansion hurriedly squeezed forward, trying to find their young master as soon as possible, but there were so many people that they couldn't see him at all.

The candidates came out one after another, and then Gu Tingyu and Gu Tingye supported Qi Heng and walked out together.

They were not in the same examination room, but they happened to meet when they came out. Seeing Qi Heng's unsteady steps, the two of them quickly ran over to support him.

Duke Qi and Gu Yan saw their own children when they opened the shop, and rushed out of the crowd with their servants.

"Tingyu, Tingye, thank you so much for today."

"Duke, there are too many people here today, and Yuan Ruo is not in good condition. You should take him back quickly and we will meet again later."

"Okay, what Tingyu said makes sense. We'll go to your house to thank you later. I'll take Heng Ge'er back first."

"Well, Duke, Yuan Ruo, you two should go back quickly."

Gu Tingyu bowed to the two of them, and then Duke Qi took Qi Heng back to his own carriage.

Gu Yankai stood aside and said nothing, watching his eldest son deal with these situations. He was already old, and these things would be what Gu Tingyu would have to face in the future. He just had to stand behind him and help pay attention.

After the Duke of Qi left, Gu Yankai took Gu Tingyu and the other man back to their own carriage, and then the three of them hurried home.

As soon as they arrived at the door of the house, the servants in the mansion had been waiting for a long time, and they quickly took the two of them back to their respective courtyards.

"Tingyu, Tingye, go back and wash up and have some rest. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."

"Yes, father, let's go back first."

Although Gu Tingyu's physical fitness is twice that of an ordinary person, he was exhausted during these three days. He talked to Gu Yankai and left quickly.

Gu Tingye's health was not as good as Gu Tingyu's. He no longer had the strength to speak and was helped by the servants back to his own yard.

"Husband, you're back. The hot water is ready. Come and take a shower."

Because Yuan Ge'er couldn't go to the Imperial Examination Hall, Shao Xueyan prepared hot water at home early.

After the servant helped Gu Tingyu into the bathroom, Shao Xueyan personally helped Gu Tingyu change his clothes.

After taking a shower, Gu Tingyu went to bed without eating dinner.

After dinner was ready, Shao Xueyan looked at Gu Tingyu who was sleeping soundly, but she felt sorry for him but didn't wake him up.

After dinner, Shao Xueyan coaxed Yuan Ge'er to sleep, then took off her clothes and gently lay down next to Gu Tingyu.

Gu Tingyu must have sensed that there was someone else around him, so he reached out and held her in his arms. Shao Xueyan didn't feel anything wrong, so she leaned on Gu Tingyu's arms and fell asleep.

When Gu Tingyu woke up, it was already the next morning.

"Ms. sir, are you awake?"

"Yeah, I'm awake. What time is it?"

"Hey, husband, it's already the second day. Father has already prepared breakfast. Hurry up and get up. You didn't eat last night."

"Yeah, okay, I'll be up right away."

By the time Gu Tingyu and his family arrived at the main house, Gu Tingye had already arrived.

"Brother, you are a little late."

"You look fine, boy. When did you get up?"

"Ha, I just got up too."

Gu Tingye touched his head and said something with a smile.

At this time, Gu Yankai also came over. Seeing that Gu Tingyu and Gu Tingye had recovered a lot, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's eat. We'll talk after dinner."

Gu Tingyu and the other two were indeed hungry. After hearing what Gu Yankai said, they quickly started eating.

Only after finishing their meal did they calm down.

"Okay, you two, follow me to the study."

Knowing that Gu Yankai wanted to ask about the imperial examination, Gu Tingyu and the others did not hesitate and followed Gu Yankai to the study.

Gu Tingwei looked at the two of them with some envy, which also caught the attention of Shao Xueyan.

"Third brother, you should study hard too. When the time comes for the imperial examination, father will also take you seriously."

"Yes, I understand, sister-in-law, thank you."

Gu Tingwei didn't expect Shao Xueyan to notice this. He was somewhat moved and thanked Shao Xueyan.

In the study, after Gu Yankai sat down, he looked at the two of them and asked.

"How was the test this time?"

Gu Tingye turned to look at his elder brother, and Gu Tingyu also knew what this meant.

"This time the exam is a bit biased, it's hard to be sure."

"Yes, father, the questions about horse politics in this exam are indeed too biased."

"Okay, let's not think about it now. If it doesn't work this time, there's always next time. It's okay."

Gu Yankai didn't expect it to be so biased, so he quickly comforted the two of them and then talked about other things.

 …

There has been an uproar outside regarding the issues of this imperial examination. After all, the policy essays were too biased and many students did not perform well in the exam.

For a time, the chief examiner, the Minister of Rites, was under a lot of pressure. Everyone thought that the problem was his, and some people were already preparing to impeach him.

But this matter actually had nothing to do with him, he was just taking the blame for the government.

But he didn't dare tell anyone, he could only hope that there would be outstanding candidates among the candidates so that he could report to the government.

While he was worrying about this matter, in Prince Yong's mansion, Prince Yong was also discussing the issue of the imperial examination with his staff.

"Are there any candidates we can win over in this exam?"

"Your Majesty, I have already sponsored some candidates according to your instructions. When they pass the exam, it will definitely be your help."

"Yeah, that's good. We still have to pay attention when the results are announced. Let's try to win over more people."

The aide who had spoken just now nodded and agreed. This matter happened to be his responsibility, and he would be needed to do it later.

However, another aide raised a question at this time.

"Your Majesty, both of Ningyuan Hou's sons participated in this imperial examination. Ningyuan Hou has not shown any intention of getting closer to you during this period. Should we..."

Although the aide did not finish his words, Prince Yong knew what he meant. After thinking about it, he nodded in agreement.

Now there is still a lot of support for him to ascend the throne. After all, Prince Yan has no son. If he ascends the throne, the current problems may still arise in the future. So he has already believed that he is almost certain to succeed, and is somewhat dissatisfied with Gu Yankai's attitude of not getting close to him.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the second son of Ningyuan Marquis often stayed at Huamian before, but he was defending Yang Wuduan. If the emperor knew about this..."

"Haha, okay, let's do it this way. Just teach Ning Yuanhou a lesson."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it then."
