"Wha...what?"
"Dad, what do you mean?"
From Wu Zhengyuan's words, Wu Qihao vaguely understood something.
"Isn't it...could it be...that my failure this time was not because the quality of my article was not good enough?"
Wu Qihao trembled with trembling lips and stammered!
"You traitor!"
Wu Zhengyuan shook his head and shouted angrily: "Even now, don't you understand?"
"Ah!"
Wu Zhengyuan looked at his son kneeling in front of him and sneered!
"Your uncle has already written to me!"
"He said that after you failed the exam, he immediately asked someone to consult several examiners at the time. Among them, he even got the real reason for your failure from the deputy examiner Luo County Magistrate!"
There seemed to be a gleam of fire in Wu Zhengyuan's eyes, and he said with hatred: "Master Na Luo has made it clear, saying that the examiner of this year was displeased because of your arrogant posture in the examination hall. , so I deliberately dismissed your paper!"
Wu Zhengyuan did not give his son time to buffer, and continued to attack: "What's more, there is nothing outstanding about your article. Whether it is successful or not is a matter of two choices!"
"And it is because of your own arrogance and willfulness that you have led to all these consequences!"
"you you……"
The more Wu Zhengyuan talked, the angrier he became. In the end, he was so angry that he fainted!
"boom!"
The sound of Wu Zhengyuan falling to the ground immediately woke up Wu Qihao who was kneeling on the ground in a daze!
"ah?"
"Dad! Dad..."
Seeing the situation like this, Wu Qihao suddenly became anxious!
Not caring about anything else, he quickly got up from the ground and rushed towards his father who was lying on the ground!
"Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"
"..."
For a time, the Wu family, a wealthy family in Jiangning, was extremely lively.
…
Bianliang City, the Duke's Mansion of Qi State.
"Tell me about it!"
"What happened today?"
In a spacious and luxurious room, countless candlelights were burning brightly, releasing their own light as if competing, and for a while, the whole room was illuminated with a dazzling brightness. .
However, in this candlelit room, Buwei kneeling on the ground could not feel any warmth. His whole body was wrapped in an icy cold air, as if he was naked in the ice and snow. Average inside.
And the source of all this is the noble lady sitting at the top of the throne - Qi Heng's mother, Princess Pingning who was personally conferred by the Holy Emperor!
At this time, the cold voice of Princess Pingning came again, understated, but not intimidating and angry!
"Tell everything!"
Buwei, who was kneeling below, lowered his head, and the muscles on his face were twitching.
"My dear, I don't understand what you mean?"
Buwei weighed it in his mind for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to keep the secret for his young master.
After all, Qi Heng treated Buwei really well. Although the two of them were masters and servants, they also had the flavor of brothers. Therefore, Buwei felt a little uncomfortable while watching his young master fall in love unrequitedly. But now, Qi Heng finally had some hope, but he really couldn't bear to expose it and then be extinguished directly!
"call!"
The fan that had been shaking in Princess Pingning's hand suddenly paused, and then quickly knocked on the table.
"Boom!"
It was just a very light sound at first, but it was amplified a lot in this silent room where everyone was holding their breath.
"No, you have to think clearly!"
Princess Pingning's voice was still faint, but it was as if she had a mouthful of ice cubes in her mouth, giving people a cold feeling the moment she opened her mouth.
The current Duke of Qi was very touched by this. After so many years, he had never warmed up to the person next to him.
"Mother, are you asking about what happened to the young master on the polo field today?"
He wouldn't be a fool if he didn't do it. Since Princess Pingning already had a threatening and angry tone, he naturally couldn't say nothing.
"Empress!"
Hearing that Princess Pingning didn't say anything, she had no choice but to continue: "Actually, the reason why the young master is here today is because he pities the eldest girl from Yuge's hometown, Miss Yanran."
In order to preserve Qi Heng's love, Wu Wei had no choice but to throw out Yu Yanran as a smoke bomb in an attempt to block Princess Pingning's sight.
"The prize in that game was the relic of Miss Yanran's deceased mother, because..."
"..."
I didn’t want to explain clearly what happened on the polo field.
"My dear, that's what happened!"
"The young master simply took pity on Miss Yanran, so he helped her!"
Apart from saying Sheng Minglan's name when necessary, Buwei's words all hinted at the importance of Yanran in this matter.
"snort!"
After hearing this, Princess Pingning snorted softly.
"Is there anything wrong with your young master these days?"
After a short pause, Princess Pingning asked again.
"No, concubine!"
Naturally, he responded with his words: "Young Master has been studying hard!"
"In fact, for the next exam, the young master has been keeping his hands on the book for a while. He has been focusing on the book. That is to say, he only puts down the book and rests his eyes when eating and sleeping!"
"Sometimes, I feel distressed when I see him!"
Buwei quietly raised his head and carefully looked at Princess Pingning above, feeling uneasy in his heart.
"I don't know, does the empress believe it?"
After Buwei said a few more similar words, Princess Pingning finally made a new move.
She waved her hand and said: "Okay, you go back and serve your young master first!"
"Yes, concubine!"
After receiving the order, I was overjoyed, but my face didn't show anything. I just bowed and slowly backed away.
His attitude along the way was unhurried and very candid.
In the room, Princess Pingning's slender eyes were watching Buwei's back as he walked out, silently.
"Empress!"
Mother Wei, the old nanny next to Princess Pingning, suddenly said: "You can feel relieved this time!"
"Young master, if you work so hard, I'm sure he will be on the gold medal list!"
"Ah!"
Princess Pingning sneered: "Don't you believe what this monkey says?"
Mother Wei's expression paused: "Could it be that this guy is just talking nonsense?"
Princess Pingning didn't say anything, obviously she thought so.
"Mother, let me catch this little monkey and interrogate him properly!"
"never mind!"
Princess Pingning thought for a while, but still rejected Mother Wei's proposal, and just said: "Spring is coming, so don't touch this kid!"
"After all, he is a person close to Yuan Ruo. If this affects Yuan Ruo's scientific examination, it will not be worth it!"
"Yes, concubine!"
Princess Pingning shook her fan, feeling inexplicably panicked!
"Is this kid Yuan Ruo really thinking about something?"
…
The next day.
After a good night's sleep, Sheng Changquan resumed his usual routine of reading, practicing calligraphy, and boxing without any of the slack he had become after Xiao Yuan's case.
In fact, that's right. After all, among the men of the Sheng family, in terms of fame at this time, he still has the lowest birthright.
