The Emperor's Favorite Imperial Concubine is an O

A word in a small voice, with a soft tone, like a piece of sweet cake.

The content of the words is even more surprising.

I want you to hug me.

How could Mu Zhan not hear it? He wanted to comfort himself.The light fruity sweetness floated slowly, invisible, soothing his emotions.

In fact, Mu Zhan felt that he was not uncomfortable.Those are things in the past, he has long been used to it, and he will not extravagantly ask for something that does not belong to him.Moreover, the so-called maternal love is not precious.

For him, today is no different from every other day, it is very ordinary.It's just that those palace people thought too much, thinking that he was like a monster licking his wounds alone, and he might suddenly become sad and angry, venting his emotions on them.

But he wasn't upset, it just felt a little hollow.

In this case, no consolation is needed.

Mu Zhan was thinking about this, but when he looked down and saw Wen Mingyu lying beside his lap and opening his hand towards him, his heart skipped a beat.

Mu Zhan picked him up silently, let him sit on his lap, facing each other, and wrapped his hands tightly around his waist, as if wanting to rub him into flesh and blood.

Wen Mingyu sat obediently in his arms, and stretched out her arms to hug him back, tightly wrapping her arms around his back, with her chin resting on his shoulders.The chests of the two were touching, their shallow breathing and violent heartbeat seemed to be fused together.

Wen Mingyu was lying on top of him, unable to see his expression, and didn't deliberately insist on looking at it, but raised her hand to stroke his silky long hair, stroking it slowly, as gently as if coaxing a child to sleep .

It was the first time for Mu Zhan to be coaxed like this. He felt strange and uncomfortable. He subconsciously hugged Wen Mingyu's waist and said in a deep voice, "I'm not uncomfortable, and I don't need comfort."

Wen Mingyu lay in his arms, playing with his hair on purpose, and said: "But I want you to hug me."

Mu Zhan didn't speak anymore, a quiet silence flowed between them, but it wasn't embarrassing at all, instead it revealed a kind of tranquility and peace.

Wen Mingyu tilted her head and rubbed against the side of his neck, because her chin rested on his shoulder, her voice was a bit vague, "Do I want to become a rabbit?"

Mu Zhan paused, and the corners of his lips curved slightly, "You don't want to, that's fine."

Wen Mingyu said softly, saying yes.

At this time last year, he had just crossed over not long ago, so he didn't know what was special about this day, and it was even more impossible for him to care about Mu Zhan's discomfort.Now thinking that Mu Zhan would be alone at that time, he felt uncomfortable.

When people are in a bad mood, rua fluffy will feel very healed and become much more relaxed.

Wen Mingyu heard him say not to turn into a rabbit, and after thinking about it, she simply showed her rabbit ears, turned her head sideways, sent Fluffy over, and said, "Then do you want to touch my ears?"

Like a lop-eared rabbit that persistently gets under the palm of its owner, begging for rua hair in all kinds of coquettish ways.

Mu Zhan couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hands to pinch the rabbit ears hanging beside his face, and touched them gently. The soft and warm touch was really good, and people couldn't put it down.

Mu Zhan felt that he didn't need to be comforted, but Wen Mingyu tried his best to make him not feel sad, which made his heart soften uncontrollably, as if his heart was soaked in warm spring water, very warm.

The relatives who used to be like that are gone, so don't miss them, he can find his own relatives.

The melancholy in Mu Zhan's heart gradually faded away in this warm embrace, until finally, it disappeared without a trace.

Wen Mingyu accompanied him quietly, with a fruity and sweet smell all over her body.

Mu Zhan casually brought up a topic and asked him to chat with himself. He liked to see him smiling brightly, with curved brows and eyes, clear and clean, like a little sun.

And he hugged this little sun into his arms, monopolizing every ray of light, letting him be stained with his own breath from the inside out, and stamped with his own mark.

Mu Zhan hugged him tightly, feeling unspeakable satisfaction in his heart.

Later, he carried Wen Mingyu into the inner hall, knelt on the bed, and lowered the bed curtain.

He asked Wen Mingyu if he could coax him in another way.

Wen Mingyu was slightly stunned, nodded in response, and was even mentally prepared to be very violent, but Mu Zhan was very gentle, treating him like a fragile treasure, for fear of breaking him.

In the next few days, Mu Zhan seemed to be suffering from skin hunger, and always wanted to hug him.Wen Mingyu was a little helpless, but when she saw his deep eyes, she couldn't refuse, and she indulged Mu Zhan's clinginess.

The first few days were fine, but later on, Wen Mingyu became a little anxious.

Because Mu Zhan's birthday is coming soon.

Mu Zhan didn't care about his birthday, but Wen Mingyu felt that Mu Zhan celebrated his birthday last year, so of course he should.Mu Zhan is the emperor, so naturally he doesn't lack for anything. After Wen Mingyu's deliberation, the most suitable thing is to cook longevity noodles.

Because just making a bowl of noodles, he always felt that it was not enough, so he wanted to make it perfect and delicious.But Wen Mingyu traveled from the interstellar era, and used to drink nutritional supplements, so naturally she couldn't cook.In this way, it is necessary to learn from Yu Chu.

After class, he wants to spend more time on it.But Mu Zhan was very clear about his school time, so he could only find an excuse to say that he was going out to play with friends.

After he said it, Mu Zhan stared at him for a long time, making him feel guilty, and when he was about to tell the truth, Mu Zhan nodded, telling him to have fun and come back early.

Wen Mingyu suddenly felt like a scumbag who left his wife and went out to have a good time, clutching his chest, his conscience ached.

However, gifts still need to be prepared.

Therefore, Wen Mingyu studied with the imperial chef for a few days, and finally he was able to make a bowl of longevity noodles with good color, fragrance and taste.

On the day of Mu Zhan's birthday, Wen Mingyu cooked longevity noodles, brought them to Mu Zhan, and looked at him eagerly, expecting and nervous.

"I made this, it may not be as delicious as yours... you can try it."

Mu Zhan stared intently at the longevity noodles in front of him. Compared with the luxurious and exquisite imperial meal, it was much simpler, but it was obvious that the chef's hard work was done to the best of his ability. The hot white mist It rises, blurs the vision, and the strong fragrance keeps coming.

Mu Zhan picked up the chopsticks, bowed his head and started to eat, tasting carefully, and finished the whole bowl.

He looked at Wen Mingyu and said with a smile, "It's delicious."

Wen Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and with a bright smile, said briskly, "Happy birthday!"

Mu Zhan nodded, he was indeed very happy.

Wen Mingyu felt that he had found a family member in him. With a family, he was actually the same.

Because Wen Mingyu is here, he will be very happy, always so happy.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and there are three years of cold and heat.

Wen Mingyu was finally about to graduate from the Imperial College. He participated in Chunwei with his classmates, and was successfully admitted and became a tribute. A month later, he had to take part in the palace examination.

The palace examination only examines policy questions, and the emperor will set the questions. Basically, it will be some major political matters in governing the country, the national economy and the people's livelihood.Candidates answer the questions, which is the so-called countermeasures, which is equivalent to writing a current affairs paper.

Candidates enter at dawn, go through the etiquette of roll call, unraveling papers, praise, salute, etc., and then the examiner issues policy questions.The palace examination is only one day, and the papers are handed in at dusk, and are collected by officials such as the papers, palm papers, and seals. The last eight reviewers take turns to approve the papers, and select the best ones to submit to the emperor for imperial approval. *

When Wen Mingyu was in the interstellar era, he had never taken the college entrance examination, so he didn't know how he would feel, but now here, he was really nervous, and the closer the exam time was, the more uneasy he became.

When Mingming first started studying, he just wanted to be a civil servant. Later, he was influenced by smart and hard-working classmates in school, and his mood gradually changed. He couldn't help but work harder, and wanted to be the best possible good.

He and his friends all passed Chunwei.Needless to say, Wei Chen is a well-known child prodigy who was not only admitted, but also the No. , when he saw his name on the list, he was very surprised. His father was overjoyed, saying that you are a brat.

Ye Xu doubted that this was the reason for his "inadvertent making friends". He wanted to keep repeating grades until he was kicked out of the Imperial College, but the people around him worked so hard that he was infected, and he began to learn without knowing it. Not like himself anymore.However, he was obviously happy to be able to pass Chunwei, and he felt a sense of accomplishment.

Wen Mingyu was so nervous about the palace exam that she wanted to stick to the desk and not leave. When Mu Zhan saw it, he comforted him and said, "There is no elimination in the palace exam, it is just a ranking. You have already passed the general exam, so you don't have to worry about it."

That's the way it is said, but how can it be controlled, and this ranking has an important impact on candidates' future entry into office and promotion.Now more than 200 tributes are screened out by thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge, and the competition is bound to be fierce.

Mu Zhan said again: "If you are like this, at the end of the imperial examination, you will be too nervous to speak if you are asked by me?"

If the emperor attached great importance to the imperial examinations and had time, he would select the top ten candidates after the examinations had been completed and the examiners had approved the papers, and conduct edict interviews, which can also be said to be interviews with the immediate superiors.After Mu Zhan ascended the throne, he personally published papers and asked questions every year.

Wen Mingyu had heard of this before, but she wasn't very worried, "I probably won't be able to make it into the top ten, so I don't need to face the saint."

Mu Zhan didn't think so, "I've seen the exam papers you will take, and your answers are very good. I also understand your level of strategy and theory. There can be no problems in the top ten, and it should be in the top five."

Wen Mingyu's ears turned red instantly, "Didn't the emperor not read the exam papers?"

Mu Zhan smiled, "It depends on whether I want to or not."

Wen Mingyu felt a sense of shattered privacy, the embarrassment of being discovered at the beginning.But he couldn't help but want to ask: "Do you really think I can be in the top ten?"

Mu Zhan nodded without hesitation, his determined expression gave Wen Mingyu a lot of confidence.

"If I really want to face the saint, I won't be nervous. Instead, it will be the most relaxing exam. After all, I can see you every day." Wen Mingyu said that without thinking.

Mu Zhan smiled inexplicably, "That's different."

Wen Mingyu's heart skipped a beat, and she had an inexplicably bad premonition.

No matter what, the palace exam arrived as scheduled. A group of candidates entered the hall at dawn, and the exam was not over until the sunset.

At the end of the day, my mind is tense and I am exhausted.Originally, they wanted to say that they had gone out to celebrate their liberation after the exam, but in fact, they all wanted to go home and fall asleep for three days and three nights.

As soon as Wen Mingyu changed her nervousness before the palace exam, she turned into a salted fish after the exam, sleeping limply, not caring about anything else.

Half a month later, the results of the palace examination will be announced in the downtown area of ​​the capital.All tributes are naturally nervous and want to know their specific rankings. Wen Mingyu is the same, he can actually know in advance, just ask Mu Zhan, but he didn't dare to ask, fearing that it would be a bad result.

Wen Mingyu hesitated to speak, and stuffed herself under the pillow, like an ostrich rabbit.

When Mu Zhan asked him: "Do you want to..."

Before he finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted by Wen Mingyu.

"I do not want!"

Mu Zhan laughed: "I just asked if you want to eat cherry cakes."

Wen Mingyu blushed in embarrassment, and after being frozen for two seconds, she slowly got up and whispered: "...I want to eat."

While eating, Mu Zhan said again: "I won't tell you the specific result, but you are indeed going to be questioned by me personally."

Wen Mingyu lowered her head, pretending not to listen, but in reality she wanted to prick up her ears.As soon as this is said, it proves that he is ranked in the top ten.

It feels like a bright little flower suddenly popped up in my heart.

Mu Zhan continued: "The ranking is the same as I expected."

Wen Mingyu's eyes are shining, she is still in the top five!

Now my heart is not a small flower, but a sea of ​​flowers all over the mountains and plains, and the sky is full of fireworks exploding.

Excited to jiojio.

Mu Zhan couldn't tell that he didn't want to hear the result, but just didn't want to hear the bad result.The actual results are so good, of course there is no reason not to say.

When the examiner presented the excellent examination papers, he reported them one by one. When he talked about Wen Mingyu's examination papers, he boasted of his excellent calligraphy, unique insights, a certain understanding of the overall situation of the country, comprehensive and well-thought-out countermeasures, far surpassing his peers , is a rare and excellent policy theory.

Mu Zhan couldn't help but smile when he listened, "It seems that Ai Qing admires this tribute."

The examiner bowed his head and said respectfully that this was just his own humble opinion, and it was mainly the Holy Majesty's decision.

According to the scientific examination regulations of this dynasty, before the results of the gold list are announced, the top ten in the palace examination must go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to face the saint, and the saint will determine the real ranking according to the results of the imperial edict. This is also to screen out the first, the most important champion. No. [-] pick.

When the day came, Wen Mingyu and the other nine people went to wait outside the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony under the guidance of the palace servants.When the name is read, the candidates take turns entering the hall one by one to face the saint.

Outside the door, the ten examinees were all wearing the same style of Qingjin, neatly dressed, standing respectfully, with lowered eyebrows and eyes, not daring to look around.

Wen Mingyu wasn't very nervous at first, but in such a quiet and tense atmosphere, she was unconsciously infected, and her heart beat fast.Most of the team members were familiar faces, and three of them were his friends, Wei Chen, Chu Shuli, and Shao Yan.

Thinking about it again, we have come to this point. Didn’t Dr. Guozijian give them many simulated policy questions?Just answer as usual.

Wen Mingyu managed to let herself relax and calm down a bit, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw the examinee in front of her walk out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a look of despair and trance, as if she was not asked by the emperor just now, but went to the gate of hell. I saw the evil ghost of Shura.

Wen Mingyu: "..."

My heart trembled, and I couldn't help but start to coax again.

He remembered that before Mu Zhan said that the palace examination was different, did he mean that it would be particularly strict, the devil mode?

Like the other candidates, he became anxious until he heard his name coming from inside.His heart skipped a beat, and he hurried into the hall.Because of panic, he didn't notice the subtle pause when Zhao Dequan called his name, which was obviously different from other candidates. After all, he just called the queen by the name.He is too difficult.

How many people would have imagined that among the candidates this year, the incomparably honorable empress would have made it all the way to the Hall of Supreme Harmony by her own strength?

Wen Mingyu lowered her head and walked in step by step, hesitating whether she should salute.Although he usually doesn't need to salute when he gets along with Mu Zhan, this is the Golden Luan Temple, and his current identity is an examinee.

He secretly raised his eyes and saw that on the jade steps, there was a gorgeous throne carved with dragon patterns, resplendent and luxurious.It was the first time for him to look up at Mu Zhan from this angle, and he really felt the majesty and oppression that the so-called emperor cannot look directly at.Sure enough, it was different when we got along with each other in normal times.Here, Mu Zhan is the emperor.

When he was about to salute, a deep voice suddenly came from above his head.

"Jade."

Wen Mingyu's scalp felt numb all of a sudden, and she froze in place.

This is the word Mu Zhan gave him. Half a year ago, Mu Zhan was in charge of his coronation ceremony.Originally, according to etiquette, it should be held in the ancestral temple, presided over by his father and elders, but Wen Mingyu has no family here, the situation is special, and Mu Zhan didn't want to pretend to be someone else, so he personally crowned him and took the words.

Originally, Mu Zhan wanted to say the word Yumu, and thought it was very good, but Wen Mingyu firmly disagreed. When others asked him the word in the future, he would not be able to say it.

Then, it became Yuzhi, which means a precious piece of beautiful jade, implying that he is an uncut jade, and will eventually show his own brilliance, be known by others, and have a smooth journey.

In ancient times, Biao characters were used for interpersonal communication, and names were used for elders and themselves, or for very close people.But it's probably because Mu Zhan gave him the word. When Mu Zhan called him Yuzhi, he always had an indescribable feeling, which was more intimate than calling him anything.

Mu Zhan said with a half-smile, "Yuzhi, do you want to eat lotus flower cakes?"

As he spoke, he even propped his elbows on the armrest of the dragon chair lazily, patted the place beside him, and said, "Come up and sit down and rest for a while?"

Wen Mingyu: "..."

Is this what you call being different from usual?

Let him eat snacks and sit on the dragon chair?

He is here for the exam!

This is a fool, right? !

Wen Mingyu's expression was indescribable, "...Your Majesty, please be serious."

Mu Zhan changed his words with a smile and said, "Then, eat dragon beard crisps?"

Zhao Dequan was at the side, holding some snacks.

Wen Mingyu looked at the milky white and delicate puff pastry, and couldn't help feeling a little greedy, but she still looked away, "...don't eat it."

Mu Zhan held his chin with one hand, squinted his eyes slightly, and said slowly with a smile, "If you are willing to coax Gu Gu, the champion is yours."

Wen Mingyu supported his forehead.This stupid gentleman is hopeless.

Seeing his helpless and speechless expression, Mu Zhan finally couldn't help it, and laughed out loud, "I'm just joking, are you still nervous now?"

Wen Mingyu froze for a moment, then realized that she was distracted by his series of words, and she was really not as flustered as when she came in.

He shook his head.

Mu Zhan started the real questioning, Wen Mingyu explained his countermeasures, and improved on the spot when he was questioned and pointed out loopholes. He would pause halfway, frown and think, but the whole process was basically calm and calm, and he dealt with Mu very well. Cham all the questions.

In the end, it ended smoothly. Mu Zhan walked down, showing a satisfied and appreciative smile, touching his face with his hand, rubbing his fingertips slightly, and said in a warm voice, "That's a good answer."

Who would not like to be praised, or from the closest people.When Wen Mingyu heard this, her heart was full of joy.

In the end, Wen Mingyu still sat on the dragon chair, ate some snacks, drank tea, and finally wiped her mouth carefully before going out pretending to be calm.

Of course, the other candidates wanted to inquire about something from the people in front of them, but the people who had finished the test came out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and were immediately invited to the other side by the palace staff.

Ye Xu is right here, he doesn't need to be face-to-face for his ranking, he just stuffed money and came to see his friends.Because it was an inconspicuous place, Zhao Dequan acquiesced again, and naturally no one stopped him.

"How is it? Did you do well in the exam? How is the attitude of the Holy One?" Ye Xu asked with concern.

Wen Mingyu almost hiccupped, her mouth was full of crispy aroma, she quickly covered her mouth.Ye Xu thought he was under too much pressure, so nervous that he was about to vomit, his face changed, and he immediately said, "Are you okay? I'll take you out to see a doctor!"

Wen Mingyu shook her head and said it was fine.

Seeing that his face was ruddy, Ye Xu did not seem to be in trouble, so he reluctantly felt relieved.

But Wei Chen and the others were in a very restless mood.They looked up and saw the emperor's face at a glance, they felt indescribably familiar, and when they remembered where they had seen it before, they were dumbfounded.

Shangyuan Festival, the man next to Wen Mingyu!And they talked so casually with the Holy Majesty!

After coming out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they couldn't help but surround Wen Mingyu.Wen Mingyu guessed that she would not be able to hide it, and she was ready to confess, but Ye Xu was the only one present with a confused face, "What are you talking about?"

Wei Chen was relatively calm among the three, and said, "Do you remember the bet from before?"

Ye Xu: "...huh?"

Wei Chen said: "Yuzhi is the queen, a gentleman promises a thousand gold, you owe me a thousand gold, otherwise, then you can only keep your promise and eat the rice field upside down."

Ye Xu: "...??!!!"

His expression was blank for a long while, before he managed to regain some sense, "You mean, the person next to Yuzhi in the Shangyuan Festival... is the Holy One, Wen Yuzhi, the queen?!"

Chu Shuli and the others were shocked at first, but after seeing Ye Xu's stupid look, they calmed down and couldn't help laughing.

Ye Xu looked at Wen Mingyu asking for proof, the other party paused for a moment, his expression was a little unnatural, but he still nodded.

Ye Xu collapsed in an instant, "Aren't you guys playing with me? I didn't say anything to offend the Holy Majesty before, did I? I didn't... didn't make you angry, did I?"

Wei Chen nodded, "That's too much."

Shao Yan: "Yes."

Chu Shuli: "You wait for the coolness."

Ye Xu felt that his heart was being stabbed one after another, blood was spurting out, it was hopeless.

Wen Mingyu was still very nervous at first, what would happen if this matter was exposed, but he didn't expect the atmosphere to be so relaxed and funny, which made people laugh.He said, "Then...are we still friends?"

Wei Chen was very surprised: "Why not?"

He took it for granted, he had already vaguely seen some clues, and after solving a puzzle, he threw it aside and continued to study, he didn't care about other people's status at all.He makes friends based on IQ.

The same goes for Chu Shuli, Shao Yan and Ye Xu. Perhaps when they first learned about it, they complained in their hearts that they had been cheated by their friends for so long, but when Wei Chen said this, they suddenly realized that making friends is not based on their status. And if they had known Wen Mingyu's identity from the beginning, they would not have made friends, and they would not have had so many memories together during the three years together in the Imperial College.

Wen Mingyu couldn't help asking: "Do you think that the queen should not take the imperial examination?"

In fact, this question has been lingering in his mind. He knows that he should not care about other people's opinions, but he still can't help thinking, what will happen if others find out.

Chu Shuli was the first to retort, "You helped me refute those who scolded me before, but why are you now on the edge of your own horn? Now women can take part in the imperial examination, and talents are the only ones. Why can't you be a queen? It’s not a crime to be a queen, but just because the emperor likes her, you’re trapped in the harem and unable to fulfill your ambitions? This is too narrow and a pity.”

Shao Yan nodded, "We have known each other for several years, and we know your talent very well. Studying is for the country, for the well-being of the people, and for the imperial court. As long as the country is better, what is your identity is, and what is important."

Ye Xu also said: "If other people find out, some people will definitely say something bad, but you can use your performance and achievements to speak. No matter what, there will always be a solution."

Wen Mingyu looked at them and couldn't help laughing.

I am so lucky to be able to study in the Imperial College and make such good friends.

The author has something to say: ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!I must say that during the palace examination, others were frightened by the tyrant and stuttered to answer the questions, but Jade Zai was invited to sit on the dragon chair for snacks and tea. , satisfy paralysis o(*￣︶￣*)o

Of course, Mu Zhan didn't show favoritism, Yu Zai relied on his strength to go up~

In addition, Zai Zai is coming!
