Chapter 1117. Surprised, Eldest Brother Wants to Take the Scientific Examination?

Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuchen walked side by side in front, and Chu Liuxin walked behind. The three of them were silent for a while, only the sound of footsteps could be heard.

"Third brother, I admire you!" Chu Liuyue suddenly looked back and smiled.

"What do you want to say, brother?" Chu Liuchen asked with a smile, a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

The four-clawed dragon on the king's robe looks extremely imposing, reflecting his handsome and delicate face, making it even more refined.

But there was a kind of coldness in this detachment, which stung Chu Liuyue's heart. She immediately remembered that this Chu Liuchen in front of her was not someone to be trifled with. Even though she was the eldest son of her father, in front of him It never ended well.

With a low cough and tilted her head, Chu Liuyue felt that she was impulsive.

It was obviously not a rational thing to confront Chu Liuchen at this time. Unexpectedly, Shao Wanru's figure appeared in his mind, and his brows furrowed for a moment.

"How is the Queen doing now?"

"Brother, this is a strange question. Shouldn't it be the second brother you're asking? The queen wants to see her second brother, so how can she meet this king?" Chu Liuchen's eyes were dark.

"My third brother has found out who did what happened to Princess Chen!" Chu Liuyue coughed again and dropped the inappropriate topic from before.

"Brother, who do you think could do this?" Chu Liuchen asked him in return, with a gentle smile, and his facial expressions became more and more brilliant, graceful and luxurious!

Chu Liuyue was suffocated again when she was asked, and secretly gritted her teeth. Chu Liuchen had always been difficult to deal with.

"I just asked you because I don't know. Is it possible that my third brother can't find out even now?" Chu Liuyue said.

Chu Liuchen's expression remained unchanged, and there was a bit of evil in his smile: "Aren't everyone checking? My eldest brother has been checking for longer than me. I have only been back to the capital for a few days!"

Such a big thing happened in Prince Chen's house, so of course everyone involved had to investigate and ask questions to prove their innocence.

Not only the emperor came forward to investigate, but several princes were also assisting the emperor in the investigation.

Chu Liuyue was extremely angry. Chu Liuchen was really impeccable, but he still asked about his own ideas. He suppressed his anger and said softly: "Since this matter has something to do with the palace, it is still up to the father to verify it." , before my father finds out, the third brother needs to be more careful when investigating!"

"Be careful? What does the elder brother mean? Could it be that you told me not to investigate? My princess was injured and almost lost her life. Brother, why don't you tell me to be more careful?" Chu Liu asked in reply, his tone Although he was fierce, he still had a gentle smile on his face.

Such a smile fell in Chu Liuyue's eyes, almost dazzling.

I want to get angry, but I have too many worries.

He shook his sleeves and said with an ugly face: "Since Third Brother said so, I will not care about your business."

After saying that, he ignored Chu Liuchen and strode away with a straight face.

Chu Liuchen watched him leave with a smile, then turned around and was about to leave, but saw Chu Liuxin still behind him.

"Is something wrong, fourth brother?"

"I...I have nothing to do!" Chu Liuxin stammered and stepped aside, letting Chu Liuchen go first.

Chu Liuchen glanced at him and didn't care. He turned around and went to the Cining Palace of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was ill, so he went to see her first before returning to the palace.

Shao Wanru told him that there was no need to rush back home today, saying that the Xingguohou Mansion would send someone to see her, and it should be Zhao Xiran, the eldest grandma of the Xingguohou Mansion. It would be fine if he went back early.

Chu Liuxin watched Chu Liuchen leave, pursed her thin lips tightly, and then slowly lowered her head. In fact, he shouldn't ask about her things. It would be best not to ask. By now, he would have already No more right to ask her if she was safe.

The relationship between the two people is that of an uncle and a sister-in-law. It is no longer the same as when the man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried. So what if she fell in love with her first? In the end, the person she married was not herself, but her third brother!

"Your Majesty, let's go back to the mansion first?" Xiao Liuzi reminded him carefully when he saw that he had been standing in a daze.

Chu Liuxin took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled it, her spirit collapsed again, "Let's go back to the house first!"

"Your Majesty, after Concubine Ming asks you to go to court, you should go to her palace first." Xiao Liuzi said.

Chu Liuxin waved her hand: "No, go back home!"

Of course he knew what the mother-in-law meant, which was to let him marry a princess who was beneficial to him. What did it mean to be beneficial to him? Naturally, the mother-in-law was unwilling to give up and wanted him to fight for it.

But he doesn't want to fight!

The person she cared about the most had slipped past her, and she had known such an unbearable scene. She had nothing to fight for. It was better to be an idle king who did nothing in this life, so there was no need to fall into that quagmire. .

The pain and sadness in his heart almost overflowed from his eyes. He raised his head vigorously to hide the tears in his eyes. Even though she was so seriously injured, he couldn't ask or take a look.

In fact, he really didn't have much idea at the moment, he was just worried about her safety.

She originally thought that if she married the third brother, even if she didn't get the final honor, she would be comfortable in the end, but now it seems that may not be the case. The third brother is involved in the center of power, what should she do?

How could she withstand such a thing when she was still so young, younger than him? If...if it were him, wouldn't he let her fall into such a predicament?

Chu Liuyue couldn't help but breathe a little faster, and her eyes slowly brightened. After what happened to Shao Yanru, she had changed for the first time. She was no longer lifeless and gray. In fact, she still had some Functional?

After calming down, there was a trace of determination in his eyes: "Let's go, I will go see my mother and concubine!"

After saying that, he strode towards Concubine Ming's palace. Xiao Liuzi was startled for a moment. Then he saw that his prince was much more energetic. His eyes immediately turned red with excitement. This was the first time in such a long time that the prince showed such an expression. , this is really... great, he is Chu Liuxin's confidant, how could he not understand his prince's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute, slave!" Xiao Liuzi shed tears after wiping them away and chased after him.

No matter what, at least the prince has regained his energy at this time, which is already good...

What happened in the court had little to do with Shao Wanru, she was still recovering from her injuries.

The medicine prepared by Master Mingqiu and Doctor Qi worked very well, and basically nothing serious has happened these days.

When she attacked herself, she was also very measured. It looked scary at the time, but in fact it was not as serious as it seemed. She had nothing to do in the past few days and left it all to Chu Liuchen, but she was very leisurely.

Yesterday, Zhao Xiran sent someone to check on her condition today and asked if he could come over.

When Chu Liuchen did not return to the palace, the gates of Prince Chen's palace were very tight. Even people from the Xingguo Hou's palace were not allowed to enter. The eldest princess of Ruian came to take charge personally. Zhao Xiran had not been able to come in before.

Shao Wanru's health was almost healed, and he just wanted to take good care of himself. He accepted Zhao Xiran's words and asked her to come over today.

It wasn't just Zhao Xiran who came over, there were actually Shao Caihuan and another woman, Zhao Xiran's biological sister, Miss Zhao Er, Zhao Xiqiong.

After everyone was led to Shao Wanru's courtyard, Shao Wanru met them. After everyone saluted, the guests and hosts took their seats.

"Is Princess Chen feeling better?" Zhao Xiran looked at Shao Wanru with concern and asked, "I have been thinking about this before because my husband's affairs were taken over."

In fact, it was rejected by Prince Chen's Mansion. By saying this, Zhao Xiran saved the face of both families. However, Prince Chen's Mansion refused the visit of Princess Chen's mother-in-law, which was also very rude.

"I'm fine. Is brother feeling better?" Shao Wanru asked with a smile.

"My husband's health is much better, and I will take care of it now. My husband said that he will take the scientific examination in three years, so he just calmed down and studied hard in the study. In fact, it is not all bad!" Zhao Xiran said with a bitter smile.

This can only be said at the moment. Princess Yuan'an's matter was settled in the end. She originally wanted Shao Wanru to come forward, but something happened to Shao Wanru. Of course, she can't force Shao Wanru with this matter at this time.

Zhao Xiran was sensible and didn't mention it again.

"Brother wants to take the scientific examination?" Shao Wanru raised his watery eyes and asked with a smile, "Why haven't you heard of eldest brother talking about it before?"

Although Shao Huaan has a good reputation and is good at hearing and learning, the Xingguohou Mansion has never expressed any intention to let Shao Huaan take the scientific examination. In fact, it is waiting for the opportunity, waiting for him to inherit the title of Xingguohou Mansion and then take up this position. Soaring to the sky.

With Shao Hua'an's talent and learning, it is indeed easy for him to be appreciated by the emperor. In his previous life, Shao Hua'an did this.

It is true that taking the imperial examination and then becoming an official is the path taken by most people, but it is the way for the children of aristocratic families to inherit the title first and then pursue a great career. Especially for those like Shao Huaan who can inherit the title, it is easier to get ahead.

Among the children of aristocratic families, there are many who are hopeless and few who are promising. If Shao Huaan takes this path, the emperor will notice him more, and his career will be smoother!

"Only when a man's talents pass the scientific examination can he have a wider space to spread his hands and feet!" Zhao Xiran explained, and then in order to enhance his persuasion, he added, "This is how my father passed the scientific examination."

It is true that Zhao Shangshu passed the imperial examination all the way, and the Zhao family is also a well-established family. However, Zhao Shangshu is not the eldest son and has no right to inherit the title, so he only concentrates on studying. Fortunately, Zhao Shangshu has been smart since he was a child, and he has had a smooth official career after passing the examination. , is now much better than his eldest brother who inherited the title.

It's also very inspiring.

Zhao Xiran's words certainly expressed Shao Hua'an's determination, but also showed that Shao Hua'an did not want to compete with Shao Yuanhao for the position of heir apparent.

"My eldest brother wants to take the imperial examination. It is indeed very good. If my eldest brother needs anything, just tell me. Prince Chen's Mansion will not allow it!"

Shao Wanru's expression remained unchanged and he said gently.

"That would be great. Xingguo Hou's Mansion didn't have many books before. I don't know if Prince Chen's Mansion actually has one. Then I might have to trouble the princess!" Zhao Xiran stood up and thanked Shao Wanru with a deep bow.

Shao Wanru hurriedly asked Yu Jie to hold her back, "Sister-in-law is too polite, it doesn't matter."
