After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

Chu Qinghuang said: "Do you want to enter the government?"

Enter the government?

Wen Zhan was obviously a little surprised, but he did not refuse immediately. Instead, after briefly thinking about Chu Qinghuang's intention, he asked directly: "Your Highness wants me to enter the government?"

Chu Qinghuang did not speak.

"In fact, with my knowledge and ability, it is not difficult to enter the government." Wen Zhan pondered, "but there are two problems in front of us. First, Xiqi has always had laws that stipulate that the son-in-law cannot enter the government. I am the servant of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Although my status is much humbler than that of the son-in-law, whether it is due to the law or other reasons, I am not qualified to enter the government."

If there had been no precedent for the princess to take a concubine, I am afraid that Xiqi's law would add another one, that the princess's son-in-law, concubine, and servant cannot enter the government. But a woman like Chu Qinghuang is a rare gem in a century, so there is no need to set up a special rule for her.

But the nature is the same.

Any "princess's man", whether husband or male favorite, is not eligible to enter the government.

Chu Qinghuang did not comment on this, and said calmly: "What is the second one?"

"Second, my father doesn't like me." Wen Zhan said calmly, "Although the laws of Xiqi stipulate that illegitimate sons can also enter the government, there is a rule that legitimate sons are first. If legitimate sons do not enter the government or join the army, illegitimate sons cannot cross the line. On this point, my father will never be lenient to me."

And as everyone knows, Wen Li, the legitimate son of the Wen family, is a straw bag embroidered pillow. If he wants to enter the government, his father must find another shortcut for him-such as buying an official position or cheating in the examination room.

So the possibility of Wen Zhan entering the government is almost zero.

Chu Qinghuang said coldly: "This palace only asked you if you want to, not anything else."

Wen Zhan was silent for a moment, stood up and saluted: "Reporting to Your Highness, if Your Highness needs it, I am willing."

If she needs it?

Chu Qinghuang pondered the meaning of his words and asked calmly, "What if I don't need it?"

"Then I am willing to live a plain life and not wade into the muddy waters of officialdom." Wen Zhan did not hesitate, "If Your Highness needs it, I have conditions."

Chu Qinghuang raised her eyes slightly and looked at the man standing in front of her with an absolutely respectful attitude. She was a little surprised at his boldness. After all, looking at the entire Xiqi, there might not be many people who dared to negotiate with Chu Qinghuang, a violent princess.

But she didn't say anything and asked casually, "What conditions?"

"I can serve Your Highness with my heart and soul, but I only serve Your Highness. Your Highness must ensure that I will no longer be oppressed and constrained by anyone." Wen Zhan said in a steady tone, "I don't have to be bound by anyone in the Wen family. Even if one day I kill my father and brother, Your Highness will have to cover for me."

In short, he wants absolute freedom and power under the protection of this princess's mansion, but in front of the princess who can protect him, he will guarantee his absolute loyalty and obedience.

"You've sacrificed your life for me, so I'll protect you?" Chu Qinghuang raised her eyebrows, "You're brave enough to negotiate with me."

Wen Zhan lowered his head: "A timid person is not qualified to work with Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Chu Qinghuang was silent for a moment: "Why do you think I have the ability to protect you?"

"Based on my intuition."

Chu Qinghuang raised her eyebrows and looked at him quietly for a long time, then slowly nodded: "Deal."

Wen Zhan's lips curved slightly, he lifted his robe and knelt down: "Thank you, Your Highness, I won't let you down."

This kneeling was a pledge of allegiance, a representation of submission, and the beginning of the oath.

"Go back and prepare to participate in this year's Autumn Examination." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "Your goal is to become the top scholar."

"Yes." Wen Zhan agreed, paused for a moment and said, "I have a request."

"Go ahead."

"In a few days, it will be Lord Wen's 50th birthday. As a son, I should go back to celebrate my father's birthday." Wen Zhan said, "Your Highness, can you go back with me?"

Chu Qinghuang nodded: "Yes."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Wen Zhan did not ask Chu Qinghuang how to solve the two problems he just mentioned - whether as the princess's servant or the illegitimate son of the Wen family, he did not have the qualifications to participate in the Autumn Examination, but there was nothing Chu Qinghuang could not do.

If it were someone else, they might also consider the consequences of breaking the rules.

And Chu Qinghuang broke more than just one rule? She openly took a concubine and robbed a man from the people, negotiated with the emperor, was disrespectful to the empress dowager, was highly skilled in martial arts and violent, beat the disfavored prince consort whenever she wanted, made him kneel whenever she wanted, and directly proposed to confiscate the family property when the treasury ran out of money...

All these things, being unorthodox is not enough to describe one tenth or one twelve of her, and anything else that happened to her, I'm afraid it's not surprising.

After lunch, Chu Qinghuang took Fu Cang back to the bedroom.

The boy was always silent during the day, following Chu Qinghuang like a shadow. The former rebelliousness was no longer seen, as if he had unconsciously lost his edges and corners. In the obvious change in Chu Qinghuang's attitude, he also became more docile.

The whip can make the weak obedient, but it can arouse the pride of the strong, and gentleness can make the strongest people in the world become much softer and more obedient.

There is something that is quietly changing in silence.

When I went to bed at night, the scene of last night was played out again in front of me.

The little shadow guard was shivering in his sleep on his brocade couch, his whole body curled up into a ball, his face was pale and his lips were so white that there was no trace of blood.

After Chu Qinghuang was woken up by him, he stood up and stood in front of the bed and looked at it for a long time, wondering whether he should let him continue to tremble like this, or let him occupy half of his bed?

What is the cause of his problem?

After thinking again and again, Chu Qinghuang reached out to Fu Cang's forehead. Unsurprisingly, as soon as her fingertips touched his skin, his wrist was grabbed by him again. Just like last night, the moment he saw her, Xiaoyingwei turned over neatly and knelt on the ground: "This subordinate deserves to die!"

Chu Qinghuang didn't have any special expression, and just said: "Go and sleep on my bed."

Fucang subconsciously wanted to say no, but he quickly thought about the rules Chu Qinghuang had set for him, swallowed the sentence of no, and only said yes respectfully.

Everything seemed to be the same as last night, from the stiff posture when lying on the bed to shivering under the quilt after falling asleep, to unconsciously reaching out his hands to wrap around her waist, as if it was a script written in advance. Last night was no different.

Chu Qinghuang stared at the hand around her waist and secretly decided to find a doctor with superb medical skills to take a look at him earlier.

She must find out what caused his problems.
