Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

Chapter 144 Returning to Beijing

The next day, Mo Hongyun woke up and began to investigate what Mrs. Zhao had said about the presence of strange people in the city.

After tracking, spying, and having Wu Ti dress up as a woman to gather information, he determined that these people were foreigners.

The purpose of coming here is to buy a lot of things that are unique to Minzhou City in order to accuse Mrs. Zhao of treason and treason.

Other female county magistrates also encountered the same thing, which means that the other party could not stand women taking power.

It also means that there are traitors in the court who are targeting Xingxi and want to cause chaos in the country.

He told Yu Xingxi about this and analyzed: "If these foreigners are dealt with, it will inevitably provoke a war between the two countries and break the current peace, which is not good for you. But you can't let it go, otherwise women serving as officials will be criticized..."

Shen Xingxi: [Capture him secretly and submit the memorial to me secretly. I like peace, but I am not afraid of war. However, I think it won't start soon. You should focus on the provincial examination first. Don't let it fail to get into the top five. ]

"Okay." Mo Hongyun put the matter aside, said goodbye to Madam Zhao and Zhao Da, and continued walking towards the registered residence of Yun Jingce.

During this time, I visited many cities and climbed countless mountains.

Telling the world in the form of golden characters: [Reading can enrich knowledge, broaden horizons, and give people more choices, not just the imperial examination.

The accountant must be able to read and write, and the restaurant owner must be able to understand the recitations of literati and poets...

If you want to have a better life, studying is the only way. 】

Mo Hongyun could guess that Xingxi wanted everyone to be interested in studying, but private schools were so expensive that even boys could not be guaranteed to study. How could an ordinary family be willing to send girls to school?

But he could no longer care about so many things, and resumed his days of studying hard day and night. At least he could enter the capital as a top scholar and become an official in the court as a successful Jinshi.

One day, Mo Hongyun entered the examination room and suddenly realized that the exam was not as easy as he had imagined. Mentality and knowledge were equally important.

On this day, the results of the provincial examination were announced, and he became the top scorer as he wished. Listening to the congratulations and praises from all around him, he felt a greater sense of accomplishment than if he had sat on the throne.

But when he saw many matchmakers coming to propose marriage, he immediately packed his bags and headed for the capital.

One day, he arrived in the capital, but did not see Xingxi. Instead, he saw the chief academic officer of the Imperial College.

I couldn't help but feel a chill on my back.

When he was a child, he studied in the Imperial Academy for a period of time, but his life was really hard because his father ignored him.

Someone put a snake in his desk. After he complained to no avail, he pretended to be frightened and threw the snake on the teacher's head.

I never thought that the teacher who was frightened unconscious by the snake would be promoted by Xingxi to be the chief academic officer of the Imperial College.

Fortunately, the teacher was able to distinguish right from wrong, and the only person he sued was the one who released the snake, which made his life much easier afterwards.

But he was also criticized by this teacher many times.

＜ (。_。) ＞

He followed the Imperial College chief priest into the Imperial College. As soon as he stepped into the assigned room, he heard the system talk about gossip about him throwing snakes when he was a child.

He said that he saw the Master subconsciously stand up straight.

He could only complain: "Can you please stop talking about me in front of me!"

The system answered him: [Host, let me tell you, Mo Hongyun played with fire when he was a child. It was windy that day and firewood flew onto the beard of the current Imperial College chief academic officer. He even put the blame on Zhao Da.

Zhao Da was hit on the palm of his hand and cried: I just used urine to put out the fire, I didn't set the fire. 】

Mo Hongyun held his forehead with his hand, thinking that it was good that Xingxi didn't come to see him.

Then I heard Xingxi's voice: [When you say that, I really want to ask him in person why he wants to play with fire? See you tonight at 11:00 PM in Room A of Longfu Inn.]

"Okay." Mo Hongyun agreed immediately, and then whispered: "I won't tell you why you play with fire!"

The system smiled and said: [Host, Mo Hongyun said he would not tell you that he played with fire because he was hungry, so he caught a bird and wanted to roast it, but Zhao Da urinated on it.]

Mo Hongyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he didn't accept Zhao Da's offer to take the blame as he was extremely hungry at the time.

Obviously they were all princes, so he had to starve. However, after being beaten, Zhao Da still clamored to go back and ask his mother to nourish him well.

He had just finished packing his luggage when he heard a knock on the door.

He stood up and opened the door, and his vigilance made him move behind the door instantly.

A basin of dirty water was poured at the door, and several noble children laughed and said, "He managed to get away with it, but the country boy is still dead even if he didn't get splashed with dirty water."

The prime minister's grandson, who was leading the group, said, "You should feel honored that the young masters have come here.

If you come to the Imperial College, you must abide by my rules. As long as you kneel down and call me master, I can ask my grandfather to guarantee that you will pass the imperial examination."

The Imperial College was the royal academy, and the students there included the top five candidates in the provincial examination, as well as high-ranking officials, nobles, and royal family members.

Although Mo Hongyun had been targeted when he was a child, it was never so excessive.

As soon as the prime minister's grandson finished speaking, the person next to him immediately spoke:

"Master Wu appreciates you, why don't you kneel down and express your gratitude?"

"You are not the only one. Look at all these people kneeling down. In the capital, the prime minister is second only to the emperor. Do you want to give up your career in politics?"

Mo Hongyun suddenly laughed. What happened to the Prime Minister? Xingxi was behind him!

These people came at the perfect time so that they can meet Xingxi in advance!

He pretended to be wronged and whispered: "I was bullied. He is the grandson of the prime minister. He is using the prime minister to pressure me. I am afraid~"

The system relayed Mo Hongyun's words.

Shen Xingxi smiled helplessly. This guy never forgot to act like a spoiled child all the time.

She put down the memorial in her hand, used her lightness skills and went directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The prime minister hurried out to greet him, and was about to salute when he was stopped by Shen Xingxi.

Shen Xingxi asked directly: "Prime Minister, I trust you and let you be the Prime Minister, but your grandson dared to bully Mr. Yun in the Imperial College. How do you explain it?"

"Mr. Yun?" The Prime Minister took a deep breath. "He's back?"

"It's in the Imperial College right now. It's not convenient for me to go in. Please bring Mr. Yun to me in good condition."

The prime minister rushed to the Imperial College without even daring to breathe.

The prime minister's grandson's eyes lit up when he saw the prime minister, "Grandfather, you came to see me?"

Unexpectedly, he was greeted by a slap from his grandfather, "Evil creature!"

Everyone saw the prime minister, who was second only to the emperor and above all others, respectfully approaching Mo Hongyun and bowing, saying, "I'm sorry to have frightened you, Mr. Yun."

Mo Hongyun returned the greeting, "Things are different now. Thank you, Prime Minister, for your kindness."

"I didn't think it through." The Prime Minister stood up, and slapped his grandson in anger, then said: "Mr. Shen wants to see you, please follow me."

Mo Hongyun nodded in a reserved manner, as if following the prime minister at a leisurely pace. However, after leaving the Imperial College, he could no longer suppress his urgency and flew to the prime minister's residence carrying the prime minister.

Xingxi! I finally get to see you!
