What makes Zhao Ji happy is that Pan Jinlian happened to go to Fengle Tower to find Master Li today, and the two met just like that.
Zhao Ji immediately told Pan Jinlian the news that Liu Tiao had won Huiyuan.
"A friend of mine works in Gongyuan, so I can get the news in advance."
Zhao Ji didn't know that his identity had been exposed to Pan Jinlian, so he found reasons to fool Pan Jinlian.
Pan Jinlian played dumb and pretended that she didn't know Zhao Ji's identity.
She remembered Liu Heng's advice to her.
Before being recruited into the palace by Zhao Ji's order, Zhao Ji must not be allowed to know that she already knew his identity as emperor.
Zhao Ji must be made to think that he convinced Pan Jinlian by relying on his "charm" rather than his identity.
He wanted Zhao Ji to think that Pan Jinlian loved him as a person, not as an emperor.
Pan Jinlian said she understood.
She knows how to grasp a man's mentality without any teacher.
Zhao Ji asked Pan Jinlian again if he was willing to be his woman.
Pan Jinlian nodded shyly and agreed, saying that she was impressed by Zhao Ji's demeanor and talent.
Zhao Ji was very proud of himself. He was a talented man and had beautiful women liking him regardless of his status.
Zhao Ji liked Pan Jinlian even more, even more than Li Shishi.
After all, Li Shishi followed him only after knowing that he was the emperor, but Pan Jinlian didn't know his identity, she just liked him as a person.
Pan Jinlian was the most "sincere" to him, so he naturally favored Pan Jinlian.
Li Shishi understood Zhao Ji's thoughts and smiled bitterly in his heart.
She is indeed not as "sincere" as Pan Jinlian.
Master Li did not know that Pan Jinlian's "sincerity" was fake. She had never caused trouble with Pan Jinlian and Zhao Ji's identity.
Master Li really thought that Pan Jinlian was impressed by Zhao Ji's talent and learning, so he was willing to commit himself to Zhao Ji.
Pan Jinlian said to Zhao Ji: "My surname is not Pan, but Liu. I accompanied my brother to Beijing to take the exam. Now I live in XXX Hutong. If you want to marry me, you can ask a matchmaker to propose marriage to my brother and I. However, , it’s best to wait for a while. My father has already gone to Beijing for his younger brother’s scientific examination. It will take some time to arrive in the capital. It’s best to let the matchmaker come to the door after my father comes. "
Although Zhao Ji wanted to summon Pan Jinlian into the palace immediately, but after hearing what Pan Jinlian said, he decided to postpone the day.
Waiting for the head of the Liu family to come to the capital before issuing the order will also show that he attaches great importance to Pan Jinlian.
Moreover, Pan Jinlian's younger brother had already been promoted to an official at that time, and Pan Jinlian's status was also higher. He could also give Pan Jinlian a higher status.
Zhao Ji took Pan Jinlian's tender little hand and said many love words, and then returned to the palace happily.
In Fengle Building, only Li Shishi and Pan Jinlian were left in Master Li's room.
The servants were all driven outside by Master Li.
Master Li: "Sister Jinlian, do you know who Mr. Zhao is?"
Pan Jinlian: "Isn't he a wealthy businessman?"
Li Shishi: "No, he is actually a current official."
Pan Jinlian looked shocked: "What? How is that possible?"
Her acting skills were very good, and her reaction of being shocked, confused and frightened made Master Li feel pity for her.
Master Li hurriedly comforted Pan Jinlian: "Don't panic, sister. Although he is an official, he still cares about her. With his protection, my sister can feel more secure when entering the palace. It's just..."
Master Li may have regarded Pan Jinlian as his substitute, hoping that Pan Jinlian could live a better life in the harem for him, so he taught Pan Jinlian many methods to prevent other women from being framed.
These methods are used to guard against other women in the brothel, and they can also be used in the palace.
A trace of guilt arose in Pan Jinlian's heart, for concealing and using Master Li.
Pan Jinlian remembered Master Li's love and she would repay Master Li in the future.
At least, after Zhao Ji got tired of Master Li, Pan Jinlian would protect Master Li.
When the examination results were released, Liu Heng became the Huiyuan, and there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him.
Many people saw that Liu Heng was only at the age of Dancing Elephant but had already won the Huiyuan, and they began to think of wooing Liu Heng.
During these days, Liu Heng received many invitations to banquets.
Liu Heng all went. ,
To those who win over him, Liu Hao smiles and responds, but does not give a positive reply, which is extremely tactful.
Just kidding, he has been involved in the officialdom for decades in the world of Red Mansions. He can be considered an old fox in the officialdom, and he can handle all kinds of calculations and scheming with ease.
Of course, this is also because the status of those who win over him is not too high.
Those real big guys in the officialdom looked down upon a little brat.
After all, it is not unusual for a champion to come out every three years.
The day of the palace examination has arrived.
To the surprise of the ministers, the official, who had left everything to Prime Minister Cai Jing to handle everything in recent years, actually presided over the palace examination in person this time.
In the first two scientific examinations, the officials found it troublesome and only attended the Qionglin Banquet.
Is this scientific examination because someone has attracted the attention of the officials?
Everyone thought of Liu Heng.
A promising young man has already received five yuan, and if he wins the top prize, he will get six yuan.
It is normal for officials to notice this person and become interested in him.
Some people are wary.
They didn't take a pawn like Liu Heng seriously before, but now that the pawn has attracted the attention of the officials, they have to be vigilant.
Officials like people who are good-looking, talented, and well-spoken. Doesn’t that boy Liu Heng fit these characteristics?
He will definitely become the new favorite of the official family.
At that time, I'm afraid it will threaten their position.
A trace of murderous intent flashed in these people's eyes.
Zhao Ji sat on the dragon chair, stretched his head to look down, and asked his personal eunuch in a low voice: "Who is Jin Lian's brother?"
The eunuch pointed out Liu Tong to Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji followed the eunuch's fingers and looked over, where a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old was sitting in the front row.
He is handsome and worthy of being Pan Jinlian's younger brother.
His temperament is gentle and a little chic, which is very unique.
Zhao Ji, who originally only looked at Liu Hao differently because of Pan Jinlian, fell in love with the boy at once.
"Such a good-looking young man should be Tanhualang."
The minister beside him frowned and reminded Zhao Ji: "Guanjia, Liu Heng has won five yuan in a row."
What a good sign it is to get the sixth yuan, how could it be ruined just because of the whim of the officials.
Zhao Ji sighed regretfully after hearing this: "My Tanhualang, I have no choice but to make him the number one pick."
Everyone who heard this sentence had their mouths twitching wildly.
The corners of Liu Heng's mouth were also twitching.
His five senses are inherently sharper than others, and by focusing his inner energy on his ears, he can hear smaller sounds clearly.
Liu Hao heard all the conversations between Zhao Ji and the people around him.
However, this kind of Zhao Ji is the best for him.
Best to control.
Yes, manipulation.
When he first chose to take the scientific examination to enter the officialdom, Liu Heng wanted to be a powerful minister and control the emperor.
There is no way, Song Huizong and his son are so embarrassing and so sorry to the people of the world.
The shame of Jingkang is better not to happen if it can happen.
How many people died in the Northern Song Dynasty during the Jingkang Disgrace? !
Liu Heng is not the Holy Father and has no intention of saving the world.
But since we have come to this era and still have some ability, why not try to change history?
And when Pan Jinlian was favored by Zhao Ji and wanted to be summoned to the palace, Liu Heng became even more determined about what he would do in the future.
Zhao Heng doesn’t want to take the position anymore.
He is not made to be an emperor, so he will just be an idle prince from now on.
Isn't eating and drinking better than being the king of a subjugated country? !
