The host is no longer a human today.

"This year's imperial examination is the first since the current emperor ascended the throne. Coupled with the previous coup, the court is short of officials. As long as we can stand out in the imperial examination, our future will definitely be extraordinary."

"Yes, maybe the emperor will use me in a valuable position in the future!"

"Well, being favored by the Emperor is nothing. I would rather be a member under the command of the Regent. The Regent is the God of War of our Ling Dynasty, a man of both civil and military talents!" A young man in yellow suddenly interrupted.

"Hey, I know you are a loyal admirer of the Regent, but could you please not say it in public?" The other party was choked by his words and lowered his voice helplessly.

Since the two of them could chat together, they were naturally friends. He also knew that this person was simple and had no bad intentions, but some of the things he said could cause trouble if spoken out.

The young master in yellow is named Lin Yuji. He is the son of the Minister of Revenue. He has a simple personality and has an extraordinary admiration for Yan Changsui.

The man next to him, Xu Ze'an, was the son of the Minister of Works. He and Lin Yuji were childhood friends and naturally knew his character.

Lin Yuji waved his hand nonchalantly, "Alright, alright, I'll just talk to you. I'm not stupid. How could I possibly say this to outsiders?"

Xu Ze'an knocked on his forehead helplessly, "You! If you really pass the palace examination this time, you may become an official in the court. You should change your outspoken temper."

Lin Yuji covered his forehead exaggeratedly and smiled innocently: "Oh, my goodness is safe, isn't it okay for others to know?"

Xu Ze'an snorted, "You only know how to use this trick."

I don't know whether it is right or wrong to let him enter the officialdom. After all, the current political situation in the court is unstable. Although there are Uncle Lin and their father and son, sometimes they cannot be protected just by saying so.

That night.

"Second Young Master, Hongying really doesn't want to enter the palace..." The girl leaning on Shen Zhijin had a slim figure and a slender body. She was charming in every move. She was a beautiful lady with excellent temperament.

"Hongying, I have already made the decision on this matter. You just need to be obedient. If you succeed, I will definitely not treat you unfairly." Although Shen Zhijin didn't want Hongying to go, he couldn't convince Shen Zhiyuan.

Hongying's eyes flickered, and she gently pushed him away, covering her face and crying, "Since you can't protect me, I can only obey your orders and go to the palace."

Hongying already knew something about Shen Zhijin's character, and he came here to ask only because he was unwilling to accept the fact.

She was sent to a brothel when she was young, where her jade arms were rested on by thousands of men and her red lips were tasted by tens of thousands of people.

She had finally climbed to the position of the most beautiful courtesan and was noticed by Shen Zhijin. She thought she would have someone to rely on, but facts proved that she was too naive.

It is true that Shen Zhijin likes her, but Shen Zhiyuan is the master behind the brothel, and Shen Zhijin will never go against Shen Zhiyuan for her.

However, that’s not the case. She has long known that men in this world are unreliable. They can be used, but not completely relied upon.

"Red Eagle, I...don't worry, when you complete your mission and come back, I will talk to my brother and ask him to bring you over. It will be good for you."

Hongying looked touched, but there was sarcasm in her eyes. She was just saying it for nice things. If this succeeded, even if Shen Zuixue didn't kill her, she would be silenced by Shen Zhiyuan.
