Please, I Really Don't Want Her Majesty The Empress To Be Pregnant.

Gu Lan thought about the doubts in his heart when he first came to the capital.

The old master in front of him is a veteran of three dynasties.

There should be few things on the official road that he doesn't know.

Zhang Qing stroked his white beard slightly, frowned and said, "Hiss! What my friend said, how does it sound like cheating in the imperial examination?"

"Uh...that's cheating!"

"Ah? Who dares to be so bold!"

Zhang Qingwei said: "Our empress attaches great importance to the strictness of the imperial examination. If she finds out, she will definitely kill the three clans!"

"This...a friend of mine asked me to ask, haha..."

Gu Lan was ashamed.

Sure enough, it is very important to find out who that person is first!

If one day something happened in the future and the empress came to her door, then she could pull that guy out and take the blame. I really didn't know about it!

"That's it."

Zhang Qingwei's expression softened, and he thought for a while and said, "The one who can help people cheat and hide it from the Overwatch Council must be an official above the fourth rank in the court."

"Fourth rank is enough?"

Gu Lan was taken aback.

The scope of this search is too large.

"You think the fourth rank is very small?"

Zhang Qing slightly rolled his eyes: "Even if you really win the Jinshi and enter the Imperial Academy, you will have to spend most of your life before you can enter the fourth rank. Some people only reach the third rank in their entire lives."

"Then how quickly can the relationship with Sima Xiangguo be?"

Gu Lan pondered and laughed.

"That guy is an official with two sleeves, I can't help it!"

Zhang Qing smiled.

"What about you?"

"Hey, what do you mean by that? In your eyes, don't I..."

"In addition to chess records and poems, I also have some long prose prose, the quality is not low!"

"Cough... that can only get you into the fifth rank!"

Zhang Qingwei blushed.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he really envied Gu Lan, a talented literary talent like Gu Lan.

He has studied for a lifetime, and it is even better to read Gu Lan's handwritten ones to gain more.

His majesty should be able to forgive you for breaking the law for the sake of the development of the world's culture and morals...

"Just kidding, I don't want to be an official!"

Gu Lan sat on the chair prepared for him in the pavilion, looking like a wild crane.

Zhang Qing nodded slightly: "Actually, it's fine if you don't become an official, you don't have so many troubles... Come to the next game, I have already read your chess record!"

"Okay, as you wish!"

Looking at the confident old man, Gu Lan smiled.

A black and white battlefield was once again set up between the two.

All afternoon.

Gu Lan defeated Zhang Qingwei for eight games in a row.

During this period.

He also gradually wanted to understand that the big man who gave him the back door might not be so easy to investigate.

And this kind of thing, it's best not to even know about the parties involved, otherwise it will expose the risk of both of them killing the three clans.

Gu Lan actually suspected Zhang Qingwei at first.

But a month ago, he didn't even know that there was a person like himself. With the character of the old man who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't throw eagles, it must be impossible.

"To be investigated..."

Gu Lan withdrew his thoughts and his eyes became clearer.

Slap!

One fell, and the ninth round was also settled.

"We lost again!"

Zhang Qingwei was very distressed.

If it wasn't for Face, he would have wanted to go to the palace to invite the Empress or Grand Tutor Su Hua to play chess with Gu Lan, to see where Gu Lan's limit is!

Could it be that he is really a national player of Tiancheng?

"Come on again, failure is the mother of success, Master, you must understand this truth."

Gu Lan smiled, mixed the chessboard, and fought again.

"This is almost the ancestor..."

Zhang Qingwei's mentality was a little broken, but fortunately he had a lifetime of chess addiction here, otherwise he would not be able to be so good and playful.

"Old Master, where is your hometown?"

Gu Lan chatted with him about homework.

Thinking about it, this should ease his distress.

"Shuzhou, I studied in Shuzhou in my early years. Later, after entering the king's realm from Wen Dao, I came to Jingguo and made friends with the late emperor."

Zhang Qingwei said: "No, he tricked me into the palace to help look after the children, and most of my life will be over!"

"It's cheap and good-looking."

Gu Lan teased: "I think the resources of Yasukuni have been given to you a lot. Talent is not enough to become a fairy."

"Ha! There are resources and opportunities!"

Zhang Qing frowned slightly, then suddenly slapped his forehead, and said: "Speaking of chance, I almost forgot a big event!"

"what?"

"Little friend, wait a moment!"

Zhang Qingwei fumbled twice from the sleeve robe, took out a piece of jade and handed it to Gu Lan. It was shining brightly, as if some words were engraved on it.

"This is called Lingling Jade. It is the same jade as the jade that hides the spirit and the jade that kills the spirit. It has the function of comprehending the changes of Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth."

"Just yesterday, a message came from above."

"The opening of the secret realm of Tianshan Mountain in Shuzhou seems to be within the next few days!"

Shuzhou Tianshan secret realm.

Gu Lan is no stranger to this name.

Because in the original book, this is a secret realm explained at the beginning, and it is said that there is an ancient inheritance and a peerless opportunity in it!

And Shuzhou is Wendao Sacred Land.

It is very likely that it will be beneficial to add something to your system.

"This secret realm, won't there be any restrictions?"

Gu Lan pondered and asked, don't be like in the previous life, if the Realm exceeds xx, you will not be allowed to enter, or you will be suppressed to the same Realm.

The Cultivation Base I earned by copying books so hard, why do you just press it?

"There is a bone age limit."

Zhang Qingwei's eyes lit up: "However, little friend is just right!"

heard the words.

Gu Lan's heart skipped a beat!

Bone age limit, this is much easier to handle. With own Cultivation Base and speed, you can definitely pack all the high rank resources inside.

Then he left without anyone noticing.

Gu Lan was thinking leisurely while playing chess casually.

At this time!

Zhang Qing squinted at the chessboard, burst into laughter, and quickly made a move on a flaw: "Hahaha, a fool who thinks a lot is sure to win, the old man finally won a game with the little friend!"

"Ah, master has made progress, congratulations!"

Gu Lan laughed.

actually.

He just deliberately gave way!

The old man told himself this opportunity, and he said that he regarded it as his own, how could he have the nerve to let him lose all ten rounds?

"Well, it all depends on my little friend's chess record!"

Zhang Qingwei probably knew that Gu Lan let him go, but he didn't say anything, and stroked his long gray beard with a smiling hand.

 …

Gu Mansion, in the dinner room.

A family of six, master and servant do not divide the table.

There is a happy atmosphere in the main hall.

After Gu Lan was full, he wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Today, I won another lottery with the old master, and I got a piece of news... I heard that a treasure land in Shuzhou will be opened the day after tomorrow, and Tan'er and Zhong Ren will go to find a treasure at that time." Come on."

Lin Tan'er deserves to be the fate of destiny's daughter.

Even though she usually doesn't put much thought into cultivation and spends most of her time working to pay off her debts, she is already in the Innate realm of Dzogchen, which is enough to look down on practitioners of her age!

So this time, she should be allowed to venture out and find opportunities to own herself.

Lin Tan'er nodded obediently.

The son said one, she never said two.

Zhongren was very excited when he heard that he could go out to play.

"Gu Dage, are you going with us too?"

"I'll just go see you off. I don't want to get involved in matters of cultivators..."

Gu Lan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.

Looking at Mu Yuyan who was serving him vegetables, he hesitated and asked, "By the way, lady, have you... felt any changes in your body these days?"
