"Ding Yuying, a civilian girl? Is she really that smart?"

"Bingxue is really smart! Just look at her French test papers and you will know that she has made so much progress in just a few months. It is not easy!"

"Oh, really?"

In the imperial study room of the Red Castle in East Lake, Emperor Zhu was watching Zhu Cibing deliver the high-scoring test papers while talking to the charter king.

The written test for the Women's College Examination has ended, and the top 10 candidates after deducting the candidates surnamed Zhu who cannot participate in the selection of the Crown Princess have been announced.

The first place is Luo Xiaohe, the second is Zheng Min, the third is Shen Xiulan, the fourth is Wei Qingxiu, the fifth is Ma Yuxiu, the sixth is Hou Xiaolan, the seventh is Zuo Xianglian (the daughter of the Zuo family in Laiyang), and the eighth

It is Gu Cailian (a niece of the same clan as Gu Jiang), the ninth is Zheng Yu (also the granddaughter of Zheng Zhilong), and the tenth is Xia Weizhen.

Wu Ahuan, who was highly recommended by Wu Sanmei, also did well in the exam and ranked 69th. However, considering that her martial arts can score 100 points, she still has a chance to give it a try.

As for Ding Yuying, recommended by Zhu Cibing, she ranked eighteenth and scored 372 points! 30 points more than Wu Ahuan, but her martial arts skills cannot be compared with Wu Ahuan after all, so the hope of winning in the end is not very high, unless Zhu Cixiang is special

Value this girl.

After Zhu Cibing analyzed the top ten girls, he found that only Wei Qingxiu, Zuo Xianglian and Hou Xiaolan were the daughters of the Northern Party. Moreover, Wei Qingxiu, Zuo Xianglian and Hou Xiaolan were all ladies of the civil service family. Even though

She has practiced a little martial arts, that is, at a level of fifty or sixty, and it is impossible to surpass the daughter of the Zheng family. The Zheng family is a general after all!

That's why Zhu Cibing decided to recommend Ding Yuying because he felt that this girl was probably the smartest and the most able to endure hardships among all the girls who took the exam.

"Brother Emperor, take a look, this is her examination paper." Zhu Cibing took out Ding Yuying's examination paper and handed it to Emperor Zhu with both hands.

Zhu Cixiang took the test paper and read it. The handwriting was very beautiful, the article was well written, the organization was clear, and the arguments were strong. She did well in the arithmetic test, which shows that she is really smart. As for French, she scored 92 points, which is also very good.

"Brother Emperor," Zhu Cibing said, "Ding Yuying only scored 35 points in French when she first took the exam. She has improved so much in a few months, which shows that she is smart and hardworking. Moreover, she is a civilian girl and is not a member of the North and South Party. Although there is a little bit in the family

They have assets, but they are just ordinary people, unlike those ladies from wealthy families, who were all born in the clouds and do not know the sufferings of the people, nor the cunning of the unruly people."

Zhu Cixiang finished reading Ding Yuying's paper, then picked up Luo Xiaohe's paper and asked Zhu Cibing, "Lao Liu, what do you think of her?"

"She is the daughter of Grand Duke Luo," Zhu Cibing said. "She has been very smart since she was a child, but she is a bit weak. Moreover, the Luo family is a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River. They are all related to the Zhu family in Jinhua, the Xu family in Shanghai, the Shen family in Chongming, and the Qian family in Changshu.

!If you must rely on the families in Jiangdong, she is the best choice. If Your Majesty wants to continue to take the path of controlling the south from the north, I bluntly say that Luo Xiaohe is not suitable to be the crown prince!"

Zhu Cixiang smiled, "I'm asking you what you think of her? Lao Liu, you're not married either!"

"Ah, Brother Chen," Zhu Cibing's face suddenly turned red.

Zhu Cixi smiled and said, "Lao Liu, I will not let you serve as the king of the vassal state, but I want to keep you as an assistant in the country. You are from the north, so it is best for the princess to choose from the famous families in the southeast. The Zheng and Shen families are too strong, you

If you are a little weak-tempered, you can't suppress them. This Luo family is just right. Grand Duke Luo is a smart man, but he is not very courageous. Moreover, he is very clean even when he is a senior official. He has never been involved in corruption or bribery. Like you, he is just a charterer.

.”

Zhu Cibing thought to himself that he had to collect rent for more than ten streets in Shanghai, so why did he need to take bribes? Even if he took bribes, the rental money would be confiscated. But this Luo Xiaohe is really good! A rare Jiangnan beauty!

"Thank you very much, brother!" Zhu Cibing thought of this and quickly bowed to him.

Zhu Cixiang smiled and said, "Lao Liu, please don't make any announcement about this matter. We will discuss everything after the interview. Then I will arrange for Ding Yuying to be seen by the prince first. If he likes it, then Luo Xiaohe will marry you. If he doesn't like Ding Yuying, he will."

If I fall in love with Luo Xiaohe, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Of course Emperor Zhu will not really leave the choice to Zhu Hexing. He will interview Ding Yuying with his son because of the recommendation of the charter king. Ding Yuying is already the first choice. But most of the charter king would not dare to tell anyone about this matter.

, because if he told it, he would definitely become a thorn in the side of Zheng Zhilong and Shen Tingyang!

"My brother understands." Zhu Cibing was about to resign when he suddenly thought of the King of Hezhong, "Your Majesty, who do you want the King of Hezhong to marry? Can you tell me everything?"

Zhu Cixiang smiled and said, "I have to talk to the local tyrants before deciding on the candidate."

"Your Majesty, the Zheng family"

Zhu Cihong said, "I have more than two sons, so I'm afraid that no one can take the Zheng family's daughter? Besides, if the prince falls in love with Zheng Min, I won't beat up the mandarin ducks."

The official title of Zhu Hehao, the King of Hezhong, as people call it, is actually King Shen, a prince who took 10,000 acres of land to collect rent. In fact, the King of Hezhong was concurrently held by Zhu Cihong, but an edict had been issued saying that he would be the king of Shen.

After marriage, let him succeed as king of the United States.

Among Zhu Cihong's dozen sons, the Shen King Zhu Hehao is undoubtedly the smartest, the best at reading, and the best at managing money. Moreover, his grades in the Army Lecture Hall are also very good. His graduation examination results are also very good.

Ranked third among students in the same period!

It can be said that he is the most ideal model of king in Zhu Cixi's mind. If Emperor Zhu's heir were him, he might not have to go through such trouble to choose a crown princess.

But he is not the legitimate son, and the eldest son Zhu Hexing is too "martial arts". When he ascends the throne, he should have no problem controlling the army, but there will definitely be financial problems, so Zhu Cixiang must find a good wife for him to help him manage it.

What a great fortune!

Zhu Hehao, who lost his position as prince because his mother failed to win the position of queen, was summoned to the Red Castle by Zhu Cihong on the night when his new love Ah Hai failed the written examination for the entrance to the women's university.

Seeing his son, Zhu Cixiang asked with a smile, "Boss, can I call you over and not disturb your meeting with the beautiful lady?"

"Beauty" Zhu Hehao smiled bitterly, "Father, Emperor Shengming, my son can't hide anything from you!"

Zhu Cixiang smiled and waved to his son, "Sit down, sit down and talk."

Zhu Hehao pulled up a chair and sat down respectfully, holding his knees with his hands, looking particularly well-behaved.

Zhu Cixi smiled and said, "How is it? How good is that Ah Hai?"

"She, she" Zhu Hehao hesitated at first, then gritted his teeth, "Father, I would like to accept her as my concubine, please allow me to do so!"

"Oh." Zhu Cixi smiled, "Is this what she asked for?"

Zhu Hehao shook his head, "This matter is tacitly understood. She is the princess of the vassal state and her son is the king of the vassal state."

"That's right!" Zhu Cixi still smiled, "You are the king of a vassal, you can have two sides, and a concubine who has to go to Japan to take the exam. Xu Guangguo's daughter has also come to take the exam, why don't you go and take the exam too?

Did she get it?"

"Father, my son," Zhu Hehao looked troubled, "My son is not sure."

Zhu Cixiang waved his hand, "What are you not sure about? You are a wealthy king and you are so good-looking, how can you still deal with a yellow-haired girl from the Xu family? This matter is settled like this, but your princess needs to make a careful calculation, Wu Ahuan, you see

Did you win?"

"Wu Ahuan?" Zhu Hehao was stunned again and again. This happiness came too fast, didn't he? He was so happy with Ahai, and he was about to get another girl from the Xu family in Japan, and then another Eight-faced Guanyin.

, I’m afraid my body won’t be able to bear it!

"Father, are you serious?" Zhu Hehao couldn't believe his ears, "Have you heard that your mother wants her to be the crown princess?"

"But the prince doesn't like her," Zhu Cihong said. "The prince thinks she is too fierce. Tuhao, do you think she is fierce?"

"Ferocious?" Zhu Hehao was confused. He was a few years older than Wu Ahuan. Of course he would not have been bullied by this little girl Wu Ahuan when he was a child.

Zhu Hehao laughed and said, "No matter how fierce she is, can she be more fierce than that Mongolian girl Ahai? Ahai followed her sister Anu to the battlefield in the Western Regions, so she won't still be obedient in front of her son?"

"In that case," Zhu Cihong said, "when the selection of the crown prince is finished, you can choose Ah Huan. Remember, she is your princess! Your crown prince can only be born to her. The son of you, A Hai and the princess of the Xu family
Chapter completed!
