Shen Yu vaguely remembered this. At that time, his mind was chaotic, but now that he thinks back, he does seem to have a smooth feeling.

Thoughts drifted unconsciously to the night before.

Underneath is the soft bed, and in front of him is the fiery breath. He is like a fish thrown to the surface by the wind and waves, undulating with the waves.

In the haze, the man's low voice sounded in his ears: "Ayu, I brought the ointment from Imperial Physician Gu, this time it won't be uncomfortable..."

Cold and hot.

The wind and waves are bigger.

Seeing the crimson crawling onto the porcelain-white skin, Shang Junlin felt itchy.

He has seen the calm and self-sufficient side of him, and he has also seen the side of him being absent-minded and sinking. Whether it is the former or the latter, love surges in his heart.

"Next time, let Taiyi Gu send some more," Shang Junlin leaned into Shen Yu's ear and whispered, "Fortunately, I put away the ointment last time."

"What does it look like for Your Majesty to have Imperial Physician Gu prescribe this kind of medicine?" Shen Yu pushed Shang Junlin, not wanting to be so close to him.

"What's wrong? His duty is to take good care of Ayu's body."

Shen Yu looked at him faintly: "Including this?"

Shang Junlin suppressed a smile and nodded.

Shen Yu: "..."

Shen Yu was speechless.

"Okay, I'm teasing you, how can I be so dizzy, I wouldn't really take this matter to see Imperial Doctor Gu." Shang Junlin smiled and pinched Shen Yu's earlobe.

Shen Yu's legs are still uncomfortable, and he doesn't want to discuss this topic with the culprit, "Your Majesty, Miss Fang and their official positions have not been determined yet?"

It has been a few days since the results of the palace exams came out, and the other people who passed the exams took office one after another. Jiang Huaiqing and He Chengyu also took up positions in the Hanlin Academy.

Originally, what Shang Junlin meant was that he was serving in the Hanlin Academy, just like the second place in the past. He was strongly opposed by the courtiers. People were placed in the Hanlin Academy.

Of course, more ministers hoped that Shang Junlin could take back his life, and they could not accept that they were officials at the same dynasty as women. Not everyone is malicious towards women, but there are many people who cannot change their inherent concepts for a while. Before the incident, it was undoubtedly a fantasy for them that a woman was an official.

Speaking of this matter, Shang Junlin stroked his forehead with a headache: "There is nothing wrong with the others, and they are even willing to make a step forward and give He Chengyu and Jiang Huaiqing a higher official position, only Fang Jiayi has never let go. ."

Shen Yu: "How are they going to settle Miss Fang? It has already been announced to the world and cannot be withdrawn."

Shang Junlin: "They want me to give her a county prince or some title."

Shen Yu: "Give the title of title, but not the real power, it not only blocks the world, but also achieves their goals. It's a good proposal that kills two birds with one stone."

Shang Junlin: "At present, only the prime minister in the cabinet agrees to Fang Jiayi's entry into the court, and the other two have never let go."

The power of the Dahuan cabinet was very great, and it reached its peak when the late emperor was in power. After Shang Junlin came to power, he regained a lot of power, but some of them were always in the hands of the cabinet.

In addition to the prime minister, the other two ministers in the cabinet are from aristocratic families. If Shang Junlin wants to do anything that harms the interests of the aristocratic family, they will encounter the first obstacle.

Neither side was willing to budge, and things have now entered a stalemate.

Although there is a special case of Fang Jiayi this year, the triennial Qionglin Banquet will still be held.

In previous years, it was held by officials of aristocratic families. This year, because of Fang Jiayi's matter, Shang Junlin simply left the matter to the people of the Ministry of Rites.

Qionglin Banquet, on the one hand, is a large banquet to congratulate the high school students, and on the other hand, it can also take this opportunity to familiarize these official reserve officers who have not yet entered officialdom with Dahuan's official officials in advance. one time.

In order to show importance, usually at such times, there will be princes participating, Shang Junlin has no children, and his brothers and relatives have been sent away by him. Either he will send ministers to participate on his behalf, or he will go in person.

"Qionglin Banquet? Is Your Majesty going?" Shen Yu asked after listening to Shang Junlin.

"I plan to go, Ayu and I are together."

Shen Yu knew why Shang Junlin chose to go in person. There were too many things happening in the imperial examinations this year. The emperor's presence in person could not only express his importance to this matter, reassure the students' hearts, but also suppress the arrogance of some noble families.

Shen Yu was also a man, and Shang Junlin wanted to take him there, and no one raised any objections, mainly because they knew that Shang Junlin would not listen to it, and they offended the holy grace of Shen Yu in vain, which was not worth it.

After the relevant regulations were set, the students also got the news.

"This year, His Majesty will bring your noble lord to participate. I finally have the opportunity to see with my own eyes what the rumored noble lord looks like."

"Didn't you see your Majesty with your own eyes?"

"If you can become an official in the dynasty, are you afraid that you won't have the chance to see your majesty? The chance to see your nobleman is very rare."

"I heard about the fraud this time because your gentleman was able to be discovered in time, otherwise we would all suffer."

"His Majesty is willing to bring your lord to the Qionglin Banquet. It seems that the rumors are true. Your Majesty really values ​​your lord."

"Isn't the harem not allowed to do politics? Even if your majesty loves your nobleman again, you shouldn't take him to such an occasion, right?"

"What's wrong, His Majesty brought your noble lord to the palace examination at that time."

"Speaking of which, there doesn't seem to be any official impeachment for this."

"No, they all focused their firepower on the second place, and the matter with Miss Fang, I'm afraid other things are nothing in the eyes of these people."

"Your Majesty really wants to use female officials, it feels strange."

"These things are not what we should worry about now, let's pay more attention to the current affairs."

"That's also true, Qiong Lin Yan, I don't know if it's true as the poem says, will Miss Fang go there that day? I don't know what kind of woman she will be."

"She is a very powerful and responsible woman. She is not afraid of power. If she can become an official in the dynasty, I believe that she will definitely be a good official."

The person who spoke had witnessed the farce of King Yue in Yingxing Building. The other party, Jiayi, had good senses. He was sure that in the face of such a situation, even if it was a man, Fang Jiayi might not be able to do it well.

Fang family.

Mr. Fang had long anticipated how much resistance his daughter would encounter when she wanted to become an official in the dynasty, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult at the beginning.

"After the Qionglin Banquet, there will be a result of this matter." Master Fang sighed and said, looking at his daughter with firm eyes.

After the Qionglin Banquet, the appointment of officials can no longer be delayed. Don't look at the fact that the family seems to be pressing Shang Junlin now, but it's just that Shang Junlin doesn't want to push the family so tightly.

"Father has done a lot for his daughter. In the future, her daughter will walk on her own."

Ever since she had such a dream in her heart, Fang Jiayi knew that the road she was going to walk was destined to be bumpy and full of thorns. Before, she didn't dare to tell others what she was thinking, because she knew how bizarre and how much this matter was. Shockingly, she thought that her dream could only be a dream for the rest of her life, but she never thought that she would have the opportunity to turn it into reality.

How rare, she was the first to tell her that she was not fantasizing, but two men who stood at the top of Dahuan's power. From that moment on, she made a decision, she must blaze a new road for all women in the world. !

Soon came the day of the Qionglin Banquet.

Shang Junlin changed into a less solemn imperial crown suit, Shen Yu wanted to experience the atmosphere among the students, and did not wear clothes representing the status of the noble.

A light blue light gauze blouse is placed over the white wide-sleeved cannon. The long hair is not tied, and it is draped softly behind him.

The Qionglin Banquet was held outside the palace, and there was a special mansion. Shen Yu and Shang Junlin got into the carriage and slowly drove out of the palace.

"Thanks to Miss Fang, otherwise, His Majesty would have been impeached by the officials for taking me to the palace examination." Shen Yu sat on the carriage and looked at Shang Junlin with his cheeks raised.

"Yeah, with Fang Jiayi's story ahead, they chose to ignore the palace exam."

Shang Junlin is now basically approving memorials in Yuzhang Palace. Shen Yu occasionally glances at it, most of it is about Fang Jiayi, Shang Junlin is too lazy to deal with these, so let people pick them out and put them aside, and the pile lasts for several days.

"Your Majesty can distribute these unimportant documents to the ministers to deal with. If Your Majesty is worried about the family, you can promote a group of officials with clean backgrounds." Shen Yu suggested.

"The cabinet originally had the right to deal with this, but as the family has grown in recent years, if the power is given to the cabinet, I will not be at ease. What Ayu said makes sense. When I cultivate a group of usable officials, I don't have to do as I do now. So busy."

When Shang Junlin first ascended the throne, he suffered a lot of hidden losses in the hands of the aristocratic family. Later, he suppressed a group of big-hearted people with bloody means, and then slowly gathered the power of the court into his own hands.

The appointment of the court has not yet come down. Jiang Huaiqing is still living with He Chengyu. He originally planned to rent a house by himself, but was persuaded by He Chengyu.

"Is Huaiqing not used to living here? Or do you think I'm annoying?" He Chengyu's eyes drooped slightly when he said this, giving him an inexplicable feeling of being abandoned.

Jiang Huaiqing, who felt guilty, quickly explained: "No, why do I feel that Brother Chengyu is annoying, I'm afraid you think I'm causing you trouble..."

"How could Huaiqing cause me trouble? Obviously, Huaiqing helped me a lot," He Chengyu interrupted him, "What's more, Huaiqing also gave me money for food and accommodation, so I can still help me from time to time when I live here. , how can I find you troublesome?"

He Chengyu looked at Jiang Huaiqing calmly, and continued: "If you have a place outside, I have nothing else to say if you want to move out, but you don't even have a place you like now, not to mention, you are used to having Huaiqing by your side. , If you really move out, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to adapt for a while, and it will not be too late for Huaiqing to think about it when the court appoints it."

Jiang Huaiqing thought about it, and yes, he was used to eating and living with He Chengyu during this period of time. If he really moved out, it would be another matter if the new place was suitable for him, and he would be very unaccustomed to it at first.

As He Chengyu said, he lived in his house, and he did not eat and live for free.

The two went to the Qionglin Banquet together.

A champion and a third flower were surrounded by people as soon as they came in.

Some people want to get closer to He Chengyu, some people want to find Jiang Huaiqing, and the two are slowly separated by the crowd.

Yi Jianming's follower finally seized the opportunity, looked at each other, and sent someone to follow quietly.

Shen Yu got off the carriage, separated from Shang Junlin, and walked into the crowd.

Jiang Huaiqing was talking to the people who kept coming up, when suddenly he was tapped on the shoulder, he turned back, and suddenly met a pair of smiling eyes.

"...Brother Yu?"
