Wen Jin discovered that when people feel guilty, they will involuntarily raise their voices.
So does she.
She felt guilty...
Xiao Yuchen stared deeply into her eyes, and his deep gaze made Wen Jin's heart tremble slightly.
Just when Wen Jin wanted to explain more, Xiao Yuchen chose to believe her.
He chuckled and hugged Wen Jin tightly, "I'm sorry, it's just that I'm too busy and think too much."
Wen Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Jin'er is so good. Recently, I have been thinking about the past and all the mistreatment I had done to Jin'er. I always feel that I have failed you and I am sorry for you..."
Xiao Yuchen looked into Wen Jin's eyes, "I'm afraid..."
Wen Jin raised his eyebrows, "What are you afraid of?"
Xiao Yuchen's eye circles were red and his nose was slightly tightened.
"What's wrong?" Wen Jin was keenly aware that there were tears in his eyes.
But perhaps it was the man's self-esteem that made him suppress his emotions and pretend to be strong and smile at her, "Maybe you will laugh at me..."
Wen Jin shook his head, she wouldn't.
"I'm afraid... that you will leave, reject me, or abandon me completely."
Xiao Yuchen suddenly pressed Wen Jin into his arms.
Wen Jin wanted to look up at him.
But his arms became stronger, keeping her pressed tightly against his warm chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.
Wen Jin guessed that he was crying.
But he wouldn't let her see it.
He didn't want her to see that as a man, as an emperor, even after seizing Shaohao's realm of consciousness... he still had a fragile side.
He controlled his breathing hard, not even wanting her to hear that he was crying.
Wen Jin simply stayed soft in his arms and stretched out her hands to hug his waist without any fat.
She pressed her face against his chest, "I can't. With you, Yu'er, and Yue'er, we are a complete family! Why should I leave you?"
Xiao Yuchen snorted dullly.
"Have you been under too much pressure during your recent practice?" Wen Jin said warmly, "Why don't you relax a little and don't push yourself too hard."
"Well..." Xiao Yuchen said in a low voice, "Jin'er, you are so kind. Sometimes I feel that I... don't deserve it."
Wen Jin chuckled in his arms, "You are really stupid for practicing!"
Xiao Yuchen also followed her gentle laughter and chuckled.
When Xiao Yuchen let go of Wen Jin, the tears on his face had dried, and only faint traces of tears were noticed by Wen Jin.
Wen Jin caressed his cheek... It turned out that his heart was not indestructible. Occasionally he would be like a child, needing care and comfort.
The two were affectionate all afternoon and night.
The next day, before Wen Jin woke up, Xiao Yuchen went to practice martial arts early again.
After Wen Jin woke up, the first thing she did was to take out the "exorcist charm" written by Yue'er for her from the drawer and carry it with her.
If she was looking for Zhuan Xu, Xiao Yuchen would be so uneasy.
Wen Jin felt that she could let this matter go appropriately.
Don’t force it, just go with the flow and let nature take its course.
At the same time, she also found that Xiao Yuchen had more smiles on his face and his mentality became much more relaxed.
Wen Jin felt that it was worthwhile to take such a step back.
Immediately afterwards, another good thing happened.
"The Huiyuan who took the spring examination this year was actually a woman! The officials in charge of the examination were shocked!"
When Jiang Qian, Que Ling and other female officials reported the good news to Wen Jin, they were all beaming and in high spirits.
"My concubine's unremitting efforts and investment for so many years, regardless of the cost, have finally borne fruit!"
The female officers were very excited.
"Yes! Although we are already serving in the imperial court, outsiders always think that we are relying on the nepotism of the empress..."
Que Ling smiled and said, "Of course, I am! But just because of this, you can't say that all women in the world are incapable and inferior to men!"
"Look, they have the right time, place, and people! They have advantages over women for thousands of years! Women can also overtake them in the exam! And win the top spot!"
A joyful smile filled the faces of every female officer.
Wen Jin was also deeply pleased.
The examination is a national examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites.
The person who comes first in the examination is called Huiyuan.
After the joint examination, there is the last round of the palace examination. The one who ranks first in the palace examination is the most well-known "number one scholar".
"This year's examiners and candidates all feel that she is expected to hit the top spot!"
"If she can win the top prize, she will be Daliang, no, she will be the first female top pick in Tianlong Continent!"
The female officers said excitedly.
Then, they turned their excited eyes to Wen Jin and said, "Your Majesty, will the Emperor personally preside over the imperial examination this year?"
"If the emperor appoints a minister to preside over the palace examination, then the fame and prestige of the 'number one scholar' will not be as good as the number one scholar appointed by the emperor!"
"Empress..."
The female officials looked at Wen Jin with burning eyes, and their meaning was self-evident.
They all hope that Xiao Yuchen can personally preside over the palace examination this year instead of assigning several cabinet elders to preside over it.
"The emperor appointed the number one scholar", this reputation becomes louder when spoken out, and it is an invisible blessing for the female number one scholar.
Wen Jin nodded, "I will explain this matter to the emperor. I hope the emperor can personally preside over it."
"It's stable!" Que Ling patted her legs and said, "As soon as the empress opens her mouth, it's definitely stable!"
All the female officials laughed happily.
Wen Jinze was a little bit dumbfounded. She just agreed to tell Xiao Yuchen... but there was no guarantee that Xiao Yuchen would definitely agree.
Why do they all look like it's done?
Aren’t you afraid that the greater your expectations, the greater your disappointment?
Wen Jin shook his head helplessly.
That night, when she mentioned the matter to Xiao Yuchen, Xiao Yuchen looked at her deeply, "Do you want me to host it?"
Wen Jin said, "Of course, I hope you will go both publicly and privately."
"Well, I'll go then." Xiao Yuchen raised his hand and rubbed her hair, with a doting look on his face and no stance.
It seems that Wen Jin's words are his position, and he will hit wherever Wen Jin points.
The palace examination was held in Ziwei Palace Baohe Hall.
Because of Empress Daliang's special status in Tianlong Continent...there is no such cliché as "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics" here.
After the palace examination began, she also brought a group of female officials to observe the examination.
The palace examination site was solemn and solemn.
There were hundreds of candidates, but the scene was quiet and only the rustling of pen and paper could be heard.
Wen Jin was deeply pleased to see that women accounted for almost one-fifth of the on-site candidates.
The official in charge of the examination specifically pointed out to her the female member who was expected to win the "number one" title.
Wen Jin looked along the official's finger.
The female Huiyuan seemed to be aware of this. She raised her head inadvertently and glanced towards Wen Jin.
But she quickly lowered her head and continued writing.
But at this brief glance... Wen Jin felt numb all over.
That woman is... Wen Jin shook his head, impossible!
Wei Yilan is dead. She was no longer alive when Xiao Yuchen was still pregnant with the king.
How could she appear in the palace examination room?
Wen Jin felt that she must have been dazzled.
