After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

[Is that the legendary immortal incense in the Taishi Pavilion?]

The system looked at the host in disbelief, as if confirming that the wolf cub would do such a stupid thing?

In fact, it has an impression of this incident, probably because it happened by chance.

Tai Shi Ge was a well-known model husband. His wife was seriously ill and there was basically no cure.

But this man refused to give up. Finally, someone saw him eating only vegetarian food in the cafeteria and asked him if he had financial difficulties.

When everyone was preparing to raise money to help him through the difficult times, the man said that his wife was already well.

It turned out that he couldn't bear to see his wife bedridden and depressed, but he had no other choice. Then he heard his neighbor aunt talking about the longevity incense of Facheng Temple.

With the idea of giving it a try, he went to pray for a pillar, and it turned out that his wife's condition really got better.

However, this longevity incense is not so easy to obtain, not only does it require sufficient incense money.

Those who ask for incense must kneel sincerely for a whole day, and then they must fast and copy scriptures for three months after that and must not violate the precepts of Facheng Temple.

Although the system was touched by the man's love for his wife, it also scoffed at praying to gods and Buddhas, so it didn't care much and didn't associate it with it for a while.

[Yes.] Qi Mingze nodded, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

What the system doesn't know is that to burn the first incense at the highest point, the person who wants to burn the incense must kneel three times and kowtow nine times, and walk from the foot of the mountain to the top before he is qualified to pray.

The conditions for obtaining it are extremely harsh, and few people throughout history have been able to obtain the first incense at the highest point.

However, what even Qi Mingze didn't know was that Jun Linyuan asked for two sticks of this first incense.

One pillar is his and the other is Jun Yizhub's.

On the second day after he and the crown prince were locked in the Eastern Palace, Shengjing was under full martial law.

Jun Linyuan, the powerful emperor, like a devout believer, knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times twice as he walked to Facheng Temple.

If Qi Mingze turned to look at the other tallest incense stick, he would find that it was the prince's name, but the handwriting was completely different.

Unfortunately, due to a series of mistakes, Qi Mingze was once again just one step away from the truth.

[Host, knowing this, do you have any regrets? ]

Seeing Yun Chengyuan's sincerity, the system was instantly speechless.

Instead, he sincerely hopes that the host will not put himself in danger again.

Not only Yun Chengyuan, but even it has been living in fear these days, fearing that the host will get itself into trouble if he is not careful.

【System, I have no regrets.】

Qi Mingze said this in a firm tone, but seeing the system was about to cry, he patiently explained.

【System, all my actions are the optimal solutions after weighing the pros and cons and careful consideration.

In life, there are things we should do and things we should not do.

Since I have the ability to protect them, I will do it without hesitation.

If the risk is really too great, I won't be stupid enough to be the savior.

Family, lovers, and friends are irreplaceable in my heart, and I will not abandon you.

You should have some confidence in your partners. I will never let you down.

...]

As for Jinrong, he had already thought of a unique return gift. All sincere efforts should be rewarded.

At this moment, Qi Mingze's heart felt as soft as if it were soaked in warm water.

A lover who loves him wholeheartedly and gives silently, a system that considers him wholeheartedly, plus letters from his mother and good friends, and the care of his apprentices and subordinates.

He has a growing sense of belonging to this world, and sincerely hopes that Xia Lin can make the country prosperous and the people strong, and that everyone can be happy.

When this sweet date is thrown out, everyone will be confused.

As expected, the system instantly fell for Qi Mingze's "sweet words" and couldn't wait to express its recognition of the host's abilities.

[Host, of course I believe in you. If anyone dares to question your decision in the future, I will be the first to disagree.]

[Well, I know everything is the best.]

[No, huh, huh, I'm not like someone.]

The system habitually pulls and pushes down others, and then complacently organizes the good things it wants.

Although the host is unwilling to use it now, maybe one day after they are bound, it will come in handy.

Qi Mingze secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally he managed to fool this little guy.

But the other one is not so easy to appease.

However, after he realized that Jinrong had done so many things for him silently, he felt that it was his duty to comfort Jinrong no matter how much he did.

His little lover really holds him in the softest part of her heart.

Qi Mingze certainly didn't just use the opportunity to go out, which he had finally gotten, to confirm this matter.

After leaving Facheng Temple, he told the driver an address and asked him to go there.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the farm outside Beijing where he had originally settled Fang Xing.

But this time, there was a new resident in the village who was comfortable, relaxed and contented.

"Mianzhi, I hope you are well."

Looking at Shen Jun who was barefoot in the field asking an old farmer for help with seedlings, Qi Mingze greeted him with curiosity.

"Mingze, it's been a while since we last met. You seem to have lost a lot of weight.

Your husband really doesn't know how to raise a child. Why don't you ask him to let me raise you.

I will make sure to return to him a beautiful young man with graceful demeanor and a round body!"

Shen Jun half-jokingly joked when he saw the young man, who was still handsome even though he was a little thin.

"Tsk, just tell me, I have no objection."

Qi Mingze said it didn't matter. Let the snipe and the clam fight each other, and he, as a good boy, would just watch the show.

"Haha, I wouldn't dare. I'm afraid your guy would skin me alive."

Shen Junlang laughed out loud and waved his hands repeatedly.

Given Yun Chengyuan's overbearing and paranoid possessiveness, who would dare to provoke him?

He hasn't lived enough and doesn't want to feed the tiger.

"Well, what a shame!"

"Tell me what you want from me."

The two walked to Shen Jun's study. After washing, Shen Jun sat beside the tea stove and treated Qi Mingze with the good tea sent by Qi Mingze.

"Can't I just be here to visit relatives and friends?" Qi Mingze retorted bluntly.

"No one comes to visit you for no reason. Lord Qi, do you really think I haven't heard about what's happening in Shengjing?"

Shen Jun snorted coldly. His good friend was a very busy man.

Since they met, they had only met a few times. Either he was called away by his husband for various reasons, or he was in a hurry to go to work.

In the end, he had no choice but to communicate through letters. Even so, some people often mocked him with ulterior motives, saying that he was corrupting his little Che every day.

"Well, I've got you guessed it, I have something to tell you.

In the near future, His Majesty will hold a talent selection competition, and the winners will have the opportunity to enter the officialdom directly.

I have two spots available, I wonder if Mianzhi is interested?"

【Host, how come I don’t know about this? 】

The system was puzzled. Did it miss something again?

[No, not now, but it will be there soon.]

[Host, are you making this up?] The system was dumbfounded, so it just said that.

[This is a clever idea of the hermit's own!] Qi Mingze was ready to keep it a secret.

Shen Jun frowned in thought. Due to various reasons, he was deprived of his status as a Jinshi.

The competition Mingze mentioned is indeed a good opportunity and is also the most suitable for him at this stage.

But, he was afraid...

"Do you have to pay any price to get this position?"

"Of course not, this is what I deserve."

"Then I would be disrespectful."

Shen Jun bowed, and as good friends he did not refuse.

He would always remember Mingze's great kindness and would be willing to go through fire and water for it in the future.

To learn literary and martial arts and serve the emperor is the dream of every scholar, and he is no exception.

"Then I wish Shen Jun all the best in winning the championship." Qi Mingze fully believed in Shen Jun's talent.

The dragon swims in shallow water, but if given a chance, it will soar into the sky.

"I will definitely live up to your expectations." Shen Jun smiled confidently.

"..."

The two discussed some practical matters after a long time, and each gained something. Qi Mingze then stood up and said goodbye.

There is still a place to go, and his task today is quite heavy.
