Hua Xiangling took the person to Huining *** Mansion.

This matter soon reached one person's ears.

That was Cang that Shangguan Hongzhe left in the capital of Wei.

Both of his masters are dead.

He has hatred and he wants to avenge them.

But he knew that it was impossible for him to kill Prince Rong's family, so he decided to fulfill his master's last wish and help the third prince of Wei ascend the throne.

Only when a fool comes to power can Canglan have a chance to catch his breath.

At the same time, this news also reached the ears of the third prince.

The third prince released a carrier pigeon to make an appointment to meet someone.

After dressing up and disguising himself, Cang quietly came to a dark room in a teahouse.

This teahouse is the property of the third prince and is called Mingqian Teahouse.

It was this property he secretly acquired after he turned fifteen, taking advantage of every opportunity he had to leave the palace.

"Meet the Third Prince."

"Mr. Cang, please don't be polite."

The third prince treated Cang very courteously.

"Your Highness, are you worried that Miao Bingwen will do something bad?" Cang directly asked the Third Prince's concerns.

“Yes, this prince is afraid that this matter will implicate me.

Now that the eldest brother has stood up, the second brother is also doing better and better in the Ministry of Revenue.

But this prince has no chance to display his talents in the Ministry of Works.

Now the treasury is empty, and nothing can be done. Everything has to be carefully budgeted, and there is no profit to be made at all."

The third prince has been feeling increasingly miserable lately.

Although the eldest prince's face has not been cured, he estimates that it will be cured sooner or later.

When he thought of Yu Yuanzheng, he became furious.

That year, he took an old doctor to see his eldest cousin. It was not until Yu Yuanzheng's identity was revealed that he realized that he was just a clown.

People had already noticed that there was a problem, but they just didn't want to reveal their medical skills.

Cause him to be punished.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. This matter will not implicate Your Highness." Cang promised.

"Oh? Mr. Cang has other arrangements?" The third prince was surprised.

"Don't worry, the final result of the investigation is that the Second Prince was involved in cheating in the imperial examination."

"Really?" The third prince's eyes lit up.

“The Second Prince’s maternal grandfather was from the Grand Tutor’s House, but he is now deceased. His two uncles are one of the seventh rank and the other of the fifth rank, so they can only provide limited help to him.

He also relied on the connections left by the old Grand Tutor in the Ministry of Revenue.

The Minister of Revenue was one of the old Grand Tutor's students.

He also married the daughter of the Minister of Revenue as the prince's consort.

But with the two countries at war, he had no chance to take action in the Ministry of Revenue either, as the emperor was keeping a close eye on him.

So he also set his sights on scientific research.”

Cang has been operating in the capital of Wei for many years and has a wide range of sources of information, which is far beyond the reach of the Third Prince.

Only then did the third prince feel relieved.

He trusts Cang very much.

Although he knew that these were Shangguan Hongzhe's men, Shangguan Hongzhe was dead, so Mr. Cang and his men were ownerless, so he just happened to take over.

Of course, the third prince also knew that Shangguan Hongzhe was Canglan's spy.

But the third prince always believed that he was forced to become a spy because of the coercion of the third old lady.

Now the Great Wei has defeated Canglan, and they, mother and son, are dead.

These subordinates became rootless duckweed.

At the same time, Mr. Cang served him sincerely and made him very satisfied every time.

Mr. Qie Cang and his men are all from the Great Wei.

This group of people also needs new support.

The third prince discussed with his mother and decided to get in touch first and then have in-depth communication. In addition, Cang's deliberate approach provided him with a lot of useful information.

Even the two maids beside my mother were sent by Cang to help her avoid being bullied by other concubines in the palace.

And my mother said that the two palace maids are indeed quite capable.

It can be seen that Mr. Cang is sincerely relying on him.

"You mean that the second prince is also making a fuss about the imperial examination?" The third prince was a little bit unbelieving.

How could the second prince, who has such a gentle personality, be so bold?

"He just needs money. He also feels threatened by the eldest prince, so he wants to use money to bribe him."

"How did he do it?" The third prince was very curious.

"Your Highness will know then. The day when Miao Bingwen takes part in the palace examination will be the day when the second prince is exposed." Cang said in an enigmatic manner.

After hearing this, the third prince also smiled meaningfully.

"Your Highness, the Emperor will offer sacrifices to heaven in August, which will be a good opportunity. If you want to achieve great things, you can make good use of this opportunity." Cang suggested.

"Sir, please tell me in detail." The third prince knew that he had a good idea as soon as he heard it.

Then the two of them seriously discussed how to implement the plan on the eighth day of the eighth month when the emperor would offer sacrifices to heaven.

The Great Wei won a great victory and signed a 100-year peace treaty with Southern Shu. Emperor Qiming must have wanted to comfort his ancestors and God.

This was the greatest achievement of Emperor Qiming since he ascended the throne.

The Ministry of Rites is already preparing.

The third prince and Cangmi talked for more than an hour before they left separately.

Neither of them realized that their meeting had already been noticed.

-

After returning to the mansion, Lady Xiangling asked the housekeeper to arrange a guest room for Miao Bingwen.

He also asked the housekeeper to find him some changing clothes, and then took Miao Bingwen's answer sheet to find Huining.

As soon as Huining saw her daughter, she wanted to nag her.

She was very angry because she had sneaked away to the border before.

But when the son grows up, he is no longer under the control of his mother, so she also controls him.

Everyone was gone and there was no way to catch up. Later, when she learned that the miracle doctor had controlled smallpox, she finally let go of her worries.

At least my daughter won't be infected.

Later, he learned that his daughter used her body to block the arrow in order to save the miracle doctor, and he was so worried that he couldn't sleep at night.

Fortunately, the miracle doctor saved the man.

When she came back and saw the scar on her daughter's chest, she wanted to curse at her, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Even the emperor praised her for her righteousness. What else could she do but accept it?

Being the savior of Princess Zhenguo is a good thing that will be remembered forever.

When the people remember Princess Zhenguo, they will also remember County Lady Xiangling.

Thinking of this, she felt proud.

"Xiangling, you are already twenty-three. Give your mother a definite answer as to when you will get married."

"Mom, let's not talk about this for now. I have something important to discuss with you." Hua Xiangling said seriously.

"What's the matter?" Seeing her daughter's unusual serious look, Miss Huining also became interested.

"Mom, look, this is a test paper that a student memorized after taking the imperial examination." Hua Xiangling was not very knowledgeable, but she could still tell the difference between good and bad.

She read some of it and found that the policy paper was very well written and very relevant to people's livelihood.

Miss Huining was much more knowledgeable, having grown up in the palace.

Take the test paper and look at it carefully.

"Where are you from?" Huining asked in surprise after reading it.

The answer is indeed very good, a rare talent.

Hua Xiangling recounted what happened today.

Hearing this, *** frowned.

The child is right, there must be something fishy going on here.

"Cui'er, go find the steward and ask him to bring the man the county lady brought back to see me."

"Yes, ***." The maid named Cui'er responded and left.

Miao Bingwen, who had just taken a shower and changed his clothes, was brought to the ***.

"Miao Bingwen, a tribute student from Huaiyuan Prefecture, pays his respects to His Royal Highness the Lord." Miao Bingsheng saluted respectfully, but was neither humble nor arrogant, nor did he flatter or fawn.

*** saw that he had the bearing of a scholar, with standard etiquette and a proper attitude.

I felt a little happy.

"Miao Gongsheng, how old are you?" Huining didn't ask anything else, but asked the man's age first.

"I am only twenty-three years old."

"Do you have a wife and children at home?" Huining was asking, "This is breaking the casserole."

Hua Xiangling looked at her mother strangely. Why did she keep asking irrelevant questions?

Miao Bingwen didn't know what the princess meant, but since the princess asked, he had to answer seriously.

"Not really. I'm so focused on my studies, and I'm afraid it'll affect my studies, so I've never considered marriage. I'll wait until I have a promising future."

"Are you engaged?" *** asked in more detail.

"No. But after the palace examination, when I return home, my mother will probably arrange something for me."

No matter how stupid she was, Hua Xiangling knew what her mother meant.

She rolled her eyes when she heard this. Her mother wanted to find a husband for her as soon as she saw a man.

But this guy looks pretty good.

"I have read your examination paper, but my knowledge is limited, so I cannot comment on it.

Since you have the opportunity to take the palace examination, I will not interfere for now and will talk about it after you take the examination.

You can stay in this palace peacefully until the palace examination is over and wait for the emperor's decision."
