It's all ruined, who cares about the chastity arch
Chapter 137: Aboveboard
As long as she is willing, all the land under heaven belongs to the king and all living beings can serve her.
His peach blossom eyes were half-closed, with a deep smile, his gaze wandering over Pei Sina: "Sister, the appreciation you and I have shown is not groundless, Mr. Luo is truly a rare talent."
Pei Sina bowed respectfully, folded her hands in front of her belly, and lowered her head slightly: "I am just a scholar. It is a blessing for me to be able to help your majesty and the princess solve their problems."
After saying this, Emperor Xuan gently waved his hand, a golden light flashed, and a heavy gold ingot fell steadily into Pei Sina's hand: "This is the first reward. When your wish comes true, I will give you a golden house. This promise is witnessed by heaven and earth."
The golden house not only symbolizes the story of Yan Ruyu in the book, but also represents the emperor's supreme promise.
Pei Sina thanked him deeply: "I am grateful for your majesty's grace."
As the carriage moved slowly forward, it soon arrived at the gate of Luo Mansion.
Pei Sina got off the car first, leaving Xuan Di and Su Wanyu alone.
There was silence all around, and Emperor Xuan's words became relaxed and casual: "Sister, I heard from my brother that the Su family treats you as their own child. Is this true?"
Su Wanyu nodded gently, with a touch of tenderness in her eyes: "It is true. If Aunt Luo hadn't told me, how could I believe that there could be such a deep emotion besides blood relationship."
"It's a pity that my mother died young and didn't get to see all this."
Emperor Xuan's eyes were stern, and his mind was filled with thoughts: "Madam Su risked her life to save me back then, and her contribution was not small. I will definitely reward the Su family handsomely in the future."
Su Wanyu felt warm in her heart. The bloody massacre her family had suffered in her previous life was finally rewarded with peace under the protection of her brother.
Taking this opportunity, she turned to the main topic: "Your Majesty, has a decision been made on the officials who will preside over the imperial examinations?"
Emperor Xuan was a little surprised and asked, "Why did Sister suddenly ask about this?"
Su Wanyu said in a heavy tone: "I have a suspicion in my heart. I am afraid that there will be something that deceives the emperor during the imperial examination."
Emperor Xuan, who had always stayed away from government affairs, suddenly became serious after hearing his elder sister's reminder: "In this case, I must handle this matter carefully."
Su Wanyu said earnestly: "The imperial examination is related to the selection of the country's pillars, and no falsehood is allowed. Its fairness directly affects the stability of the country. Your Majesty must pay attention to it."
Emperor Xuan knew that his elder sister was very knowledgeable, so he pondered for a moment and asked, "Sister, do you have any solution?"
Su Wanyu's eyes traveled through the mist of time and returned to that deeply memorable past event - Zheng Chengyan's game in high school.
The calculations in my heart were like delicate ink, slowly spreading on the lake of my heart: "Although there is still some time before the scientific examination, it is the best time to make plans.
On the day of the exam, we will secretly replace the exam papers and examiners to ensure fairness."
Although her voice was soft, it was filled with unquestionable determination.
Emperor Xuan hesitated for a moment, frowned slightly, and showed a trace of worry: "If I act this way, I am afraid it will touch the sensitive nerves of the court officials and cause dissatisfaction."
Su Wanyu heard this, her eyes moved, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she calmly refuted: "For justice, why should we be afraid of what others say? Only by being aboveboard can people be convinced."
Her tone was full of trust and persistence in justice.
Emperor Xuan's face gradually showed a light of sudden enlightenment, and his mind suddenly became clear: "Yes, what Sister said is absolutely right, I will act according to Sister's plan."
The stone in her heart fell to the ground temporarily, and Su Wanyu's face looked slightly relaxed.
She thought to herself that if it was true as she expected, Concubine Pei and Prince Liang had already planted chess pieces among the examiners and leaked the test questions through the Ministry of Rites to help Zheng Chengyan, then when the palace examination came, they might even be able to influence the emperor's judgment and bury the real talents in the world.
This prince and his concubine manipulated power and teased the emperor at will. No wonder, not long after King Liang ascended the throne in the previous life, internal and external troubles came one after another. The fate of the country was like a candle in the wind, and it could be overthrown at any time.
The slight shaking of the car body brought her back from her thoughts. She murmured, "That name Yu Jin was full of words. It was the first time she addressed her by her name, which was of great significance."
Hearing this unusual name, Emperor Xuan's body trembled slightly involuntarily, and all the muscles in his body tensed up instantly.
He was stunned at first, then, fearing that he was a little slow in reacting, he quickly responded eagerly: "Yes, sister! Please give me your orders."
After he finished speaking, his back straightened unconsciously, like a student facing a strict teacher, respectful and respectful.
"How does Concubine Pei treat you?"
Her voice was soft, but her eyes were deep.
"Empress Pei?"
Emperor Xuan hesitated slightly, "She is kind to me. In this palace full of intrigues, there are not many people who are truly kind to me."
Su Wanyu frowned slightly, and an elusive deep meaning flashed in her eyes: "I once heard my brother mention that Concubine Pei and my mother were like sisters in their early years."
Emperor Xuan nodded gently and confirmed: "Yes, when my mother jumped off the tower, Concubine Pei also jumped down. Fortunately, someone rescued them in time and they were able to survive."
These words made Su Wanyu's expression even more solemn. Human hearts are complicated. They can pretend to be deeply in love at the critical moment of life and death. She didn't dare to guess how deep Concubine Pei's scheming was.
But now is not the best time to talk about this.
"Why did Sister suddenly mention Concubine Pei?"
Emperor Xuan asked the question with a hint of smile and confusion between his brows.
Su Wanyu's eyes flickered, and she smiled gently: "I met you by chance at Pei's house today. Concubine Pei seemed to be interested in bringing the second daughter of the Pei family into the palace..."
Emperor Xuan shook his head decisively: "Impossible. If the Pei family dares to let Pei Qingzhi get involved in the palace, even if Concubine Pei comes forward, it will be useless."
Facing her doubts, Emperor Xuan raised a faint smile: "That woman is as dull as a pig, and has no interest at all."
Su Wanyu almost burst out laughing at his direct and frank words.
He went on to say: "I may choose concubines at will, but I must be extremely careful when choosing a queen. Sister, don't worry, I am not stupid. How can a queen of a country be qualified unless she is a dragon among men?"
Seeing that her brother was confident, Su Wanyu said no more.
The carriage drove slowly from Pei Mansion to Zheng Mansion. The journey was not far and they soon arrived at their destination.
Outside the car window, Siqi's voice came: "Miss, we have arrived at the Changping Marquis' Mansion."
Su Wanyu raised her head: "Yujin, I'm here."
Inside the car, Emperor Xuan was filled with reluctance. Today's gathering was too hasty, and he had not had time to say many words in detail. He could only sigh softly: "Sister, I will personally welcome you next time."
Su Wanyu stood up and walked to the car door. She paused, her eyes slightly wet. After a moment of silence, she turned around and smiled, as warm as a spring breeze: "Okay."
Looking at his sister's receding back, Emperor Xuan almost wanted to chase after her, but he finally restrained himself and stayed in the car. He did not leave sadly until Su Wanyu's back disappeared behind the gate of Zheng Mansion.
