The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. In the backyard of the Chu Mansion, there is a luxurious boudoir.

Chu Yunfei was sitting in front of a bronze mirror, fiddling with a few pearl hairpins in front of her, with an inexplicable look flashing in her eyes.

"Lanxiang, what do you think of this pearl hairpin?"

Chu Yunfei said this, placing the pearl hairpin on the edge of her hair and gesturing for a moment. Lan Xiang, who was standing behind her, immediately complimented her, saying, "This pearl hairpin is beautifully designed and is a perfect match for the Second Young Miss."

Hearing Lanxiang's words, Chu Yunfei smiled faintly and said casually, "I will wear this when I go to Liu Mansion in a few days."

When talking about this, Chu Yunfei's face couldn't help but blush.

My mother has already agreed with my father to go to the Liu family in a few days to discuss changing the engagement.

"First of all, I'd like to congratulate the Second Young Miss. She and General Liu are a match made in heaven." Lan Xiang spoke excitedly, but then, as if she had thought of something, her eyes lit up with worry. "Then, will there be any problems with the Eldest Young Miss?"

Chu Yunyue.

Thinking of the shame of the Chu family, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but snort coldly: "Father would rather she died. By the way, have you arranged everything I asked you to do?"

"Don't worry, Second Miss. I have already made all the arrangements." Lanxiang smiled, her tone very firm.

They had already arranged a drama, and tomorrow morning, Chu Yunyue would "accidentally" fall into the water.

As for whether she can save her life...it depends on her luck.

Even if she managed to survive, she would suffer from a chronic illness and would not live long. By then, no matter how much Liu Cheng'an didn't care about her stupidity, no one in the Liu family would agree to marry her.

Then the matter of changing the engagement is settled!

After tomorrow, everything will be better...

With such expectations in mind, Chu Yunfei had a good sleep.

**

On the eighth day of the third month of the third year of Jianping, the day quietly arrived amidst the anticipation of many people...

Outside Beijing, Liuquan Lane.

"Perform well! You can definitely make it!"

Jiang Ping patted his son's shoulder heavily, his tone very serious. He had lived a mediocre life for most of his life, never being able to get into high school, and now...

Jiang Ping saw the hope of the Jiang family's rise in Jiang Chaosheng!

"Be careful all the way, safety first."

Mu Wanling, who was standing by, was more concerned about the safety of her two daughters. As the weather got warmer, the number of refugees outside Beijing was increasing, and the world was becoming less and less safe.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry!"

Jiang Chaosheng nodded to his parents, then took Jiang Jiang's little hand, and the brother and sister walked slowly out of Liuquan Lane in the morning light.

The figures, one big and one small, were particularly conspicuous in the alley in the early morning. The neighbors passing by also knew that today was the day of the palace examination. When they saw Jiang Chaosheng, they all spoke auspicious words. Everyone also hoped that an official would emerge from Liuquan Lane, so that in the future... they could also benefit from it, right?

When they reached the entrance of the alley, Jiang Jiang saw that Uncle Wang had been waiting there for a long time, with a carriage parked behind him.

"Get in the car, your father rented this car for you a long time ago."

The Wang family is the only family in Liuquan Lane that rents out horse-drawn carriages, and renting one is not cheap.

Jiang Chaosheng was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked back, but unfortunately the distance was too far and he could no longer see the Jiang family’s gate.

Daddy really had a heavy bleeding this time.

"Brother, let's go!"

Jiang Jiang's voice was cheerful and crisp, and she was particularly high-spirited today.

After all, it has been a month since she traveled to this novel world, and today, she finally waited for the day when the novel's plot would begin!

To say I'm not excited would be a lie.

"Let's go!" Jiang Chaosheng waved his hand and carried Jiang Jiang onto the carriage. Then he jumped on it directly.

Today, he must perform well!

He couldn't let his father and mother down, and he wanted to prove himself to Prime Minister Gu.

Jiang Chaosheng, you can do it!

**

"Hold on tight, drive!"

Seeing the brother and sister both boarding the carriage, Uncle Wang finally raised the reins. It was an honor for him to personally drive the carriage to send the first tribute student from Liuquan Lane to participate in the palace examination. If Jiang Chaosheng passed the imperial examination today, it would be enough for him to brag about for most of his life.

I, Old Wang, have also driven a carriage for a Jinshi master!

The inconspicuous carriage gradually left Liuquan Lane and slowly drove towards the city gate of the capital.

Under the same morning sun, all the officials in the capital were dressed neatly and arrived at the imperial city early today.

Gu Yanqing, wearing court robes, stood at the head of the civil officials. His handsome appearance and aloof temperament made him stand out among the other officials.

Standing side by side with Gu Yanqing was an old man over sixty years old. He looked drowsy and listless.

Gu Yanqing looked at the old man beside him who seemed to be able to fall asleep at any moment, and could not help but slowly ask: "Prime Minister Qin, did you sleep well last night?"

"Alas, when one gets old, one's spirits just don't work as well."

After hearing Gu Yanqing's words, the old man raised his eyelids lazily and said helplessly.

This person is none other than the current right prime minister, Qin Mao.

Unlike Gu Yanqing, who was high-spirited and committed to drastic reforms in the government, Qin Mao was already over sixty years old and slacked off every time he attended court. His biggest wish at the moment was that Emperor Jianping would approve his retirement and return to his hometown to enjoy his remaining years.

Whoever wants to be the right prime minister can do it. He doesn't care at all.

Perhaps it was because of Qin Mao's style of doing things that the two prime ministers in the court always got along well with each other and never had any conflicts.

Gu Yanqing is ambitious and has aspirations, and he fights to the death with the officials of the aristocratic faction.

Prime Minister Qin was calm and collected, minding his own business, and seemed to be helping no one. But in fact, it was because of the existence of a third-party force like him that everyone in the court was able to find a balance.

"I cannot live a single day without you, and I cannot live a single day without Prime Minister Qin!"

Qin Mao occasionally thought of Emperor Jianping's words.

Shit!

The little emperor has a very evil mind and always wants to drag him into the pirate ship!

Qin Maocai will not be fooled!

He is already sixty-three years old this year. He has been in the court for decades and has experienced three generations of emperors. Qin Mao sees things more clearly than anyone else.

New policy?

political reform?

It sounds exciting, but actually putting it into practice... is not that easy.

Once upon a time, Qin Mao was young, passionate, and dreamed of changing the world...

Unfortunately, he failed in the end.

He even witnessed with his own eyes those who had worked with him to implement the new policy being killed one by one.

It is not easy to change the world and overthrow those entrenched nobles!

Hey.

It is better to just stay calm and go home early to see your grandchildren.

Thinking of this, Qin Mao felt sleepy again.

Gu Yanqing, who was standing aside, looked at Qin Xiang's appearance and could only shake his head helplessly.

He really has no way to deal with this old prime minister!
