Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 671 Jiang Lingzhou Becomes a Sworn Brother

Xiao Tianzi's face was full of worry: "My queen, then...what should we do now?"

Wangpin took a deep breath and calmed herself down: "Since your majesty has confined me to my room for three months, I will reflect on myself in Yikun Palace."

"Come here, bring me some writing brush and ink. I want to copy the "Women's Virtues" and "Women's Commandments" and confess to the Empress Xian and Empress Liang, asking them to forgive my mistakes."

Regardless of whether the virtuous concubine and the good concubine forgave her or not, as long as she showed her sincere repentance, His Majesty would definitely see it.

The maid next to her lowered her head and said, "Yes."

Wangpin didn't know what she was thinking of. Her eyes suddenly turned cold. She looked at Xiao Tianzi and said, "I wonder how many slaves like Doukou are there in Yikun Palace who betray their masters!"

"Xiao Tianzi, you are the only one I can trust now. In the next three months, you must find out all the bad apples in Yikun Palace for me!"

Seeing that the queen trusted him so much, Xiao Tianzi perked up: "Yes, please rest assured, your majesty, I will carefully check the palace servants in Yikun Palace!"

After this episode, Concubine Wang walked behind the desk and began to copy carefully, stroke by stroke.

……

Cining Palace.

Nanny Yuan reported everything that happened today to Empress Dowager Liu.

Finally, she sighed deeply: "...I originally thought that Madam Wangpin was smart, but I never thought..."

Empress Dowager Liu's eyes were gloomy. "I have long seen that among the concubines who are attached to Duke Dingguo's mansion, few are capable. That is why when I was selecting concubines, I wanted to let Concubine Xian enter the palace and serve Qingqing."

“I didn’t expect that Concubine Xian is so capable!”

"Princess Wang... is just the tallest one among the short ones. She looks shrewd and calculating, but in fact, she doesn't know how to calculate!"

Nanny Yuan showed a worried look on her face: "Empress Dowager, the future of Duke Dingguo's Mansion..."

Queen Dowager Liu sighed, "No matter how many faults the concubine has, she is not as irritable and impulsive as Qingqing, and can still be tamed. She just rose to power suddenly, and is worried that her position will be unstable, so she is a little anxious."

"Pick a smart and steady maid to serve in Yikun Palace and give her more advice."

Nanny Yuan understood what Empress Dowager Liu had not yet said.

This is the last chance that the Queen Mother gives to Concubine Wang.

If this is the case, she still can't help herself up, then it's useless...

"Yes."

……

Zhongcui Palace.

Tomorrow is the day when the results of the Spring Examination will be announced. Fuqiu suddenly walked in with a speech that was difficult to describe: "Madam, the master sent someone to bring in a message, saying... saying..."

Shen Zhinian had never seen such an expression on Fuqiu's face before, so he immediately put down the account book in his hand and asked curiously, "What did you say?"

Fuqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "It is said that... His Majesty secretly ordered someone to pass on an oral order, asking the master to adopt Master Jiang Lingzhou as his adopted son..."

"Young Master Jiang also received the same oral instruction."

"It happened yesterday. I believe the Shen family is holding a recognition ceremony today. This matter will soon be known to everyone."

Shen Zhinian frowned, his fox eyes full of surprise: "What did you say?!"

Nothing like this ever happened in my previous life.

Although Jiang Lingzhou and she are close friends, they have no connection with the Shen family at all.

Why has such a big change happened in this life?

What exactly does Nangong Xuanyu want to do?

Handan was also confused and surprised: "This... In this case, wouldn't Master Jiang be the queen's sworn brother from now on?"

"Could it be that Your Majesty feels that the sons of the Shen family are still young and not old enough to take the imperial examinations and enter the government, so he wants to cultivate some power for Your Majesty in the court?"

On this issue, Shen Zhinian couldn't figure out what Nangong Xuanyu was planning for the time being.

But that man had promised that he would confer the title of imperial concubine upon her completion of the palace examination. Perhaps this matter was related to this?

Anyway, it won’t be long before the palace examination is announced after the results of the spring examination, and we will know the result then.

Moreover, with Jiang Lingzhou's talent and the Jiang family's background, he became Shen Maoxue's adopted son, which was a complete benefit to Shen Zhinian.

……

The list of candidates for the Spring Examination is also known as the "Apricot List". It is posted at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall of the Ministry of Rites. The rankings are written on yellow paper with a cinnabar red pen. It is very solemn and eye-catching!

On the day when the results were announced, the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall was extremely busy. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was packed with people!

Relevant officials were stationed at the door to supervise and maintain order, ensuring that the process was fair and open. Even with so many people, there was no trouble.

"Give way! Give way!"

Today, Shen Nanqiao was more excited than anyone else. He came here early in the morning with Lu Jianglin, Lu's mother and Lu Jiangyue.

Even Zhou, who was in poor health, perked up on this important day and squeezed into the crowd with them.

Lu Jiangyue's breathing was very tense. Along the way, she had already asked for the umpteenth time: "Sister-in-law, do you think my brother will really win the championship and become the first place?!"

Shen Nanqiao nodded very confidently: "Definitely!"

These things were what she experienced in her previous life. Could they be false?

As for why something went wrong in last year’s autumn examination...it must have been an accident!

Accidents won't happen twice in a row.

So this time, everything will follow the trajectory of the previous life!

"Great!"

Lu Jiangyue didn't know what she was thinking of, her pretty face flushed: "I will soon be Hui Yuanlang's biological sister!"

She has reached the age for marriage, so she is ready to wait for her brother to pass the imperial examination so that she can find a good marriage for her!

Zhou was supported by Shen Nanqiao and squeezed into the crowd. Her face rarely turned red. "My dear son-in-law, you must do your best this time!"

When she becomes Hui Yuanlang's mother-in-law, let's see if Shen Maoxie, that old fellow, dares to look down on her again!

Those damn concubines and servants of the Shen family should also understand that she has someone to rely on!

Mother Lu’s eyes were almost glued to Lu Jianglin, almost tearing: “I know that my son is the best man in the world! Hui Yuanlang, it has to be my son!”

Although Lu Jianglin didn't say anything, his handsome face was filled with anticipation.

If other people heard their arrogant words, they would definitely show contempt. But today, when the results were announced, there were so many people and the scene was so noisy that no one could hear their voices clearly.

Finally, a group of people squeezed to the front.

Everyone here was discussing the same thing, and Shen Nanqiao and the others could of course hear it clearly.

"Master Jiang is really amazing! He won the first place in the autumn examination last year, and the first place in the spring examination this year. If he is selected as the top scholar in the palace examination by His Majesty, he will be the top three scholars!"

"It brings honor to our family. It really brings honor to our family!"

"Mr. Jiang is still so young, but he has achieved so much. His future is limitless!"

"Of course. If you ask me, Master Jiang must be the God of Literature incarnated on earth!"

"I heard that the Minister of Personnel, Lord Shen, has adopted him as his adopted son."

"..."

Shen Nanqiao only felt a "boom" in his mind, and then he could hear nothing!
