The emperor's expression changed.
He compared the two assignments. They had completely different handwriting and completely different viewpoints, one parallel essay and one policy essay.
These two equally excellent articles were written by the same person?
"Yes, yes... it was Meng Shen who helped..." The Sixth Prince struggled to find the words, "I don't know how to ask him, he pointed me to write it..."
Concubine Yuan, the mother of the Sixth Prince, stood up quickly: "Yes, yes, Brother Shen is a good boy, smart, sensible, and willing to help others. Brother Shen is helping his uncle Sixth write an article. Brother Shen has given me some guidance. Old Liu I will be able to write it myself in the future.”
"Really?" Seeing that this matter was about to be brushed off, Yun Chu said calmly, "No wonder Brother Shen's body is covered with wounds. It's hard not to make people suspect that it was King Cheng who used force to force Brother Shen to submit. He also hoped that his father would The emperor will investigate thoroughly."
"My poor Brother Shen!" Concubine Yin cried and walked forward and hugged Meng Shen. "Just now I asked Brother Shen where the bruise at the corner of his mouth came from. Brother Shen said that he fell. It's so pitiful, whoever would fall like this must have been beaten like this by King Cheng..."
Meng Shen wanted to say a few words.
But he was hugged by Concubine Yin and cried loudly, and his voice was drowned.
The emperor's anger could no longer be suppressed. If Mr. Wang hadn't said that there were benefits to ghostwriting, he would have kicked Lao Liu out of the house.
"I ask you to study to make you wise and understand the truth, but you use your status to suppress others." The emperor said every word, "If you are so unwilling to read and write, then you should stop reading. The position will be reserved for students who are more in need. From now on Starting tomorrow, Lao Liu, you don’t have to come.”
The sixth prince suddenly froze.
Although he doesn't like reading, he can't stop reading. Wouldn't that make him a useless person?
"Father, I was wrong!" He quickly cried out and admitted his mistake, "I beg your father to give me another chance. I must study hard and live up to my father's expectations..."
"I don't have any expectations from you!" The emperor raised his foot again and kicked him away.
If such a good-for-nothing son stayed in the capital, he might just become a pawn for other princes to compete for power.
"After three days, we will leave the capital and go away! Staying in the capital will be an eyesore!"
The emperor waved his hands and left.
The sixth prince knelt down and chased after him, but was stopped by Eunuch Gao: "His Royal Highness King Yi is a few years younger than King Cheng. He has already gone to the fiefdom. It is not a bad thing to become a vassal. Your Highness King Cheng should make preparations in advance."
The sixth prince burst into tears.
Concubine Yuan hugged her head and cried together.
"Brother Shen, you, you, you." Concubine Yin shook her head and sighed, "If it hadn't happened today, how long would you have planned to hide it?"
Meng Shen looked at Chu Yi and Yun Chu: "Thank you, uncle and aunt."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Wang came over, stroking his beard and said: "Although King Cheng is gone, you still can't relax. If you have the energy, you can still submit two articles every time."
Meng Shen cupped his hands and said, "Yes, sir."
Writing the same two articles, being coerced into completing them, and completing them voluntarily are completely different things.
At least, the whole person will no longer be depressed.
After the sixth prince became king, he quickly went to fiefdom and became a vassal. Today, there are fewer and fewer princes staying in the capital.
The fourth prince died, the fifth prince was deposed, the sixth prince and the eighth prince left the capital...
King Gongxi sat firmly in the Ministry of Household Affairs and controlled the population and money of the country. His momentum was approaching the East Palace. Many ministers in the court secretly changed boats...
The queen is also working secretly, and the war between the two sides is about to break out.
Although the private fights were fierce, there were fewer and fewer public memorials from the court regarding the seizure of the heir, and many people felt the calm before the storm.
Yunchu's belly gradually swelled, becoming more and more like a pregnant woman.
"It's moving, my sister is moving!" Chu Hongyu put his hand on Yun Chu's belly for about half an hour, and finally caught the fetal movement, and immediately shouted excitedly, "Mom, please touch it quickly, my sister is here It’s moving.”
"Brother, can you please lower your voice?" Chu Changsheng hissed, "My sister is scared by you."
Chu Hongyu quickly covered her mouth.
"Okay, your mother needs to rest." Chu Yi said to chase people away.
After the two children went to study separately, he knelt down in front of Yun Chu, turned his face sideways, and put his ear against Yun Chu's belly.
Maybe he felt his biological father, and the little guy in his belly started to move wildly.
"It's really moving!" Chu Yi's voice contained excitement, "This is a lively child!"
Although he could feel fetal movements every day, he would still be excited every time he clearly felt the baby.
Sometimes he often thinks that it would have been nice to have him by his side when he was pregnant with Brother Yu and Chang Sheng, but he can only think about it.
The past has passed, people must learn to cherish the present.
In the morning he would go to Dali Temple to handle some official duties, and in the afternoon and evening he would stay at home, putting aside some trivial chores.
Every day, he and Yun Chu handle some household chores together, and then have meals, breakfast, lunch, dinner, afternoon snacks, and various snacks. Before going to bed at night, Yun Chu has to eat a meal before he can fall asleep, and he often wakes up suddenly in the middle of the night. She said she was hungry, so he accompanied her to eat some more.
Not only was Yun Chu fat, he felt like he was fat too.
He could only wait until Yunchu went to sleep, then quickly picked up the sword and practiced in the yard...
Time flew by in June and July, and Yun Chu’s due date was August.
She now has trouble walking. She starts panting heavily after walking around the garden, and she doesn't want to move anymore while leaning on Chu Yi.
Chu Yi said softly: "The imperial doctor said that if you walk around for more than a month before delivery, the delivery will go more smoothly. Chu'er, be good, let's walk around again."
Yun Chu also knew this.
If she were walking alone, she would definitely be able to walk three times in one breath.
But for some reason, she became a little squeamish when Chu Yi was here.
The month before giving birth was extremely difficult, and sleeping at night was also a problem. She could only sleep sitting up, and she would wake up for various reasons after sleeping for a while.
"Chu'er, once this child is born, we don't want any more children."
Chu Yi hugged her and said softly.
The closer he got to the due date, the more scared he became.
Afraid of her bleeding, afraid of something happening to her, afraid of something happening to the child...
Yun Chu was also afraid.
Having experienced such despair once, I was extra careful this time.
Day by day, mid-August is getting hotter and hotter, and the situation in the court is becoming more and more unstable. King Gongxi's power has greatly increased, the prince has declined, and there are rumors among the people that the emperor wants to replace the prince...
Yunchu knew that Chu Yi had already obtained personal and material evidence that King Gongxi was involved in imperial examination fraud.
But because she had a big belly and was afraid of an accident, she just suppressed it and waited until she gave birth to the baby.
On a bright moonlit night at the end of August, Yunchu suddenly felt regular pains in his abdomen...
"Quick, Po Wen!"
"You guys heat some hot water!"
"Don't panic, just listen to Po Wen's instructions!"
"..."
