Chapter 554

Xie Yunjin raised his eyebrows and said with a light smile: "Qin Wang Xiao Ting was restrained by His Majesty, and he came out half a year later. Princess Lanyang suffered a stroke. No one will trouble our family anymore."

Lu Jiao raised her eyebrows subconsciously. She hadn't forgotten that there was Lin Ruyue, the eldest lady of Chengde Hou Mansion.

In the case of Prince Qin's son, it was obvious that Princess Lanyang planned it, but Lu Jiao always felt that Lin Ruyue should be the real behind-the-scenes.

This eldest lady of the Chengde Marquis Mansion is a noble daughter in Beijing and a reborn person. She must have a much better mind than the chief of Lanyang County. It is not surprising that she can come up with such a poisonous plan.

But it was obvious that Xie Yunjin didn't think about this level, and Lu Jiao didn't say much either. The palace examination will be in three days, so it's better not to say too much about it, so as not to affect him.

Lu Jiao quickly changed the subject and said, "The palace examination will be in three days. Don't pay attention to the affairs of the mansion, prepare well and take the palace examination."

Xie Yunjin said nonchalantly: "I won the first name Huiyuan, and no matter how bad the palace examination is, I am still in the top three, so it is the same whether you prepare or not. What's more, His Majesty will set the questions on the spot in the palace examination, and no one knows what His Majesty will come up with." It’s useless even if you prepare for the exam questions, it’s better to have a good rest, and then we’ll just see how we perform on the spot.”

After Lu Jiao thought about it, this was indeed the case. The emperor's father would give the questions for the palace exam. Who knows what kind of questions the emperor would ask, and there is no way to prepare now.

Lu Jiao thought about it and said, "Then you should rest well for the next three days, and recharge your spirits so that you can take part in the imperial examination three days later."

"it is good."

Xie Yunjin stared at Lu Jiao with burning eyes, those black eyes seemed to have captured a huge black magnet, and tightly attracted Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao lowered her head in embarrassment at the sight of his scorching eyes.

Xie Yunjin reached out to hold Lu Jiao's hand and said softly, "Jiaojiao, after the palace test is over, can we consummate the house?"

Although he had a child with the original woman, he had no impression of such a thing, but this time he did it with someone he liked. Xie Yunjin was looking forward to it.

After hearing what he said, Lu Jiao's heart trembled slightly, but she didn't reject this feeling, she nodded slightly to express her agreement.

Xie Yunjin suddenly became happy, reached out and hugged her, and said excitedly: "Great, we will have a daughter then."

Lu Jiao was amused by him, she gave birth to a daughter where she said she had a daughter.

It's just that before she had time to speak, Steward Xiao hurried in from outside the door. As soon as she came in, she saw Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao hugging her. Steward Xiao blushed with embarrassment, and sighed in her heart, the young people nowadays are so uncomfortable. It depends on the occasion.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao had already separated when they heard the news, Xie Yunjin looked normal, but Lu Jiao was somewhat embarrassed.

Housekeeper Xiao hurriedly reported: "My lord, someone has quietly delivered a letter."

When Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao heard what Butler Xiao said, they immediately looked at the letter in his hand.

The two of them remembered the last time King Yan sent someone to send news about the examiner, so this letter was probably also sent by King Yan.

Xie Yunjin reached out to take it, and quickly opened it to take a look.

Lu Jiao leaned over to watch with him.

Steward Xiao retreated lightly.

When the husband and wife saw it, it was indeed sent by the king of Yan. There were only two words, cutting down the vassal.

Both Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao were intelligent people, they could tell at a glance that this was probably a question asked by the emperor's old son in the palace examination, and it was about cutting feudal clans.

There is currently only one vassal king in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and that is King Pingling, but King Pingling holds the military power in his hands. It is not easy to cut down the vassal. Therefore, His Majesty asked this question to ask someone to give him an idea. How can it go well? Take away the feudal land and military power of the vassal king.

Lu Jiao wanted to understand the reason, looked up at Xie Yunjin and said, "Go and think about how to answer such exam questions."

Xie Yunjin nodded in agreement: "Okay."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and planned to go to the study in front, when Lu Jiao thought of Zheng Zhixing, she asked, "Are you going to give Zheng Zhixing this test question?"

Xie Yunjin immediately vetoed it. Firstly, what Zheng Zhixing did displeased him, and secondly, the palace exam question involved guessing about the Sacred Heart. If Zheng Zhixing had bad intentions and leaked the exam question, not only would he be implicated, but Yan Wang is also implicated.

"No, if Zheng Zhixing has bad intentions, it will be our turn to be unlucky."

Lu Jiao thought about it for a while, and it really made sense, she nodded and said, "Yes, then go think about how to answer this question."

The exam question of cutting feudal vassals is very difficult, if it were easy, His Majesty would not ask such an exam question.

Xie Yunjin nodded, turned around and wanted to go out, when Lu Jiao suddenly thought of Liu Ziyan, she couldn't help asking, "Do you think Liu Shoufu can guess His Majesty's mind?"

Xie Yunjin immediately said affirmatively: "He is an old fox who has stood in court for a long time, and he can definitely guess what His Majesty is thinking."

Lu Jiao smiled and nodded, Xie Yunjin walked out, not wanting Butler Xiao to come over again.

"My lord, Mr. Ziyan's servant came over and said he wanted to see you."

Xie Yunjin subconsciously turned around and glanced at Lu Jiao, and the two of them met for a moment.

Could it be that Liu Ziyan asked the servant to send the questions for the palace examination?

If this is the case, this young man really believed in them, and even sent over the test questions obtained by guessing the Sacred Heart, which shows that he really regards them as relatives.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao were very moved, they turned their heads to look at Guanjia Xiao and said, "Let him in."

Housekeeper Xiao went out and quickly invited Liu Ziyan's servant Dong Sheng in.

As soon as Dong Sheng came in, he handed a letter to Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao and said, "This is what you asked me to give to Mr. Xie."

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao knew what was written in the envelope before opening it. The two looked at Dong Sheng with a smile and asked, "How is your son? Is he okay?"

"Tell him not to be too tired. Pay attention to rest in the past three days, and he will be in good spirits when the palace exam comes."

Dong Sheng glanced at Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao several times, and always felt that Mr. Xie and Mrs. Lu were extraordinarily enthusiastic today, and cared more about his son than before.

Dong Sheng was very happy. Although his son was the son of the Liu family, he was not close to his father and his younger siblings. On the contrary, he liked Mr. Xie and Mrs. Lu very much. Care about their son.

Dong Sheng said repeatedly happily: "Thank you for your concern, young master and lady, our young master is doing well."

Lu Jiao said softly: "Tell him not to think too much. We don't blame him for the matter of Princess Lanyang. This time he passed the Jinshi exam. As sisters and brother-in-laws, we are going to Liu's residence as guests."

"Okay, okay, our son will be happy to know about this."

Dong Sheng left happily. After returning home, he told Liu Ziyan about this matter. Liu Ziyan was immediately happy, but he still didn't believe it. Believe me, my spirit has improved a lot.

Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu became happy when they found out about this.
