Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

In order to avoid causing speculation from outsiders, he had no choice but to put on Li Delu's clothes.

He got into Zhan Yan's carriage with a sad face.

He frowned and said, "Have you ever seen such a frustrated emperor? He has to sneak around when leaving the palace!"

Zhan Yan reached out and straightened his collar, saying, "Your Majesty, you have to act like a complete eunuch. If you want to pretend to be a young eunuch, you have to slump your shoulders!"

Emperor Sheng An frowned and asked dissatisfiedly, "I have always walked like this, how can I still slump my shoulders?"

Zhan Yan spread his hands and said, "Then you can't pretend to be like me. With Xiao Rui's sharp eyes, he will definitely be able to recognize me!"

Emperor Sheng An didn't want them to be prepared, so he lowered his shoulders and said, "Do you think this will work?"

Zhan Yan shook his head: "It has to be lower!"

Emperor Sheng An was immediately annoyed: "Is this the end?"

Zhan Yan pressed his shoulder hard and said, "Have you ever seen Li Delu walk with such dignity?"

Emperor Sheng An was completely discouraged: "Alright, from now on I order all the eunuchs to walk with their heads held high. They must not think that they are inferior to others!"

Zhan Yan raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty is wise!"

When the two arrived at the charity hall outside Beijing, they saw Xiao Rui's carriage had just arrived.

He walked down with his four sons, his face solemn and cold.

Emperor Sheng An carefully hid behind the curtain and looked at the four noble sons. He immediately said with a smug smile, "Zhan Yan, I'm afraid it's your wife who will be the one to suffer this time!"

Zhan Yan asked in confusion, "Why does the emperor say that?"

Emperor Sheng An pointed at the nobleman following behind Xiao Rui and said, "Do you know him? Young Master Feng of the Luo family has been exceptionally intelligent since childhood. He was writing poetry at the age of three, prose at the age of six, and by the age of eight, he was already famous in the capital!"

Zhan Yan nodded. How could he not know them? The Luo family was one of the four great families in the capital. His father was the Minister of Revenue of the current dynasty and the money bag that Emperor Sheng An valued the most.

He was very good at handling money, and the treasury was always full.

He had also heard of Luo Feng's talent!

He once wrote a poem about pear blossoms which became famous throughout the dynasty!

It is said that the words and sentences are beautiful, the artistic conception is profound, and it is catchy, so that even children on the street can recite it.

Emperor Sheng An then continued, "There are also Chen Yu from the Chen family, Pei Jue from the Pei family, and Gu Ming from the Gu family. These four are all outstanding people in the Imperial College!"

Zhan Yan couldn't help but secretly curse Xiao Rui, this old fox, how could he come here to evaluate the students of the charity hall?

He came here simply to humiliate them!

Bringing these four sons of noble families with them looks like they are here to show off their power!

Emperor Sheng An sighed helplessly, "I thought I'd see some exciting competition, but I didn't expect the outcome to be so predetermined!"

Zhan Yan interrupted without hesitation: "Your Majesty? Don't forget that the children in the charity hall were first taught by the famous painter Feng Qian!"

Emperor Sheng An pondered, "Feng Qian is indeed very accomplished in painting, but I've never heard that he's also exceptional in literary talent."

Zhan Yan did not answer, but raised his eyes to look at the beautiful figure who was saluting Xiao Youxiang.

Only then did he realize how beautiful his Wanwan looked when she saluted.

When she turned around and saw Xiao Rui staring at her, her face suddenly darkened.

He subconsciously wanted to rush out, but was grabbed by Emperor Sheng An: "Where are you going?"

Zhan Yan turned around and looked at him: "I'm going to stand with Wanwan to support her, why are you pulling me?"

Emperor Sheng An pointed his finger at his nose and asked, "What about me? You're going to support your wife, and you're not going to care about me? You're leaving me alone in the carriage?"

Zhan Yan muttered softly: "I didn't ask you to come!"

Emperor Sheng An ordered directly: "Don't go, just watch the fun here. Don't worry, after your wife loses, I will help her ask Xiao Rui to be Mr. Wen of the charity hall. This is an imperial decree, he can't refuse!"

Zhan Yan retorted: "How can you be sure that she will lose? The match hasn't even started yet. Even if you are the emperor, you can't make a conclusion first!"

Emperor Sheng An casually replied, "Okay, your wife will win. Are you satisfied now?"

Zhan Yan also understood that he was not sincere, so he moved to the side and pried open the gap in the curtain of another carriage.

Emperor Sheng'an and he each occupied one and did not disturb each other.

Lin Yiwan had already exchanged greetings with Xiao Rui. She spoke gracefully, "The Right Prime Minister has come to the charity hall as promised. He truly is a man of trust!"

Xiao Rui looked past her at the children in the charity hall. They were dressed in simple clothes. Apart from their dark faces, they did not look as dirty and messy as he had imagined.

He nodded and said, "Madam Hou, I have said before that if the children of the charity hall do not pass my consideration, I will not serve as Mr. Wen!"

Lin Yiwan said without hesitation: "Yes, I remember!"

Xiao Rui raised his chin proudly and said, "The four students behind me are the best I selected from the Imperial College. Let them challenge all the children in the charity hall!"

Lin Yiwan immediately frowned. Four against one, this was clearly a sign of contempt.

The four noble sons quickly stepped forward, lowered their eyes, and said, "Madam Hou, please give us your guidance!"

Lin Yiwan could tell that although their tone was polite, there was undisguised disdain in their eyes.

They must have felt that coming to fight against these children from the charity hall was really beneath their dignity?

She said calmly, "Is this Young Master Luo Feng? He was once famous throughout the court for his poem "Ode to Pear Blossoms"?"

Luo Feng said that he was not worthy of it, but the pride between his brows was not concealed at all.

As for the remaining three noble sons, Lin Yiwan did not name them one by one, because she knew that in her previous life, these four were the ones who were forced into despair by the students of Li Country.

They are indeed talented, but their most fatal weakness is that they are flowers grown in a greenhouse.

The knowledge in the books can be almost mastered and recited by heart. However, to become a pillar of the country, it is never enough to rely solely on superficially gorgeous articles.

This time, she would teach them a lesson so that they would not become a shame to the Sheng Dynasty in the future.

She took a deep breath and said, "Prime Minister Xiao, for the sake of fairness, let's make it four against four this time. We've also chosen the charity hall!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the four children from the charity took the lead and took a step forward.

Xiao Rui frowned and reminded, "Madam Hou, you should know very well that they were not equal from the start. There was no fairness from the beginning. Four against four, it is definitely a losing game for you!"

Lin Yiwan said nonchalantly, "Xiao Youxiang's students are certainly excellent, but the children at the charity hall aren't bad either. We haven't even competed yet, so how can we be sure of losing?"

Xiao Rui sneered, "Alright, Madam Hou's confidence is something I admire greatly. Let's cut to the chase and get started, shall we? You set the rules. No matter what they are, the students of the Imperial Academy will accept them!"
