Recap
“It’s okay.” Yan Zhao comforted, “If there are things you don’t understand in court, I can help you. If I don’t understand either, I will learn to help you.”
Blood Jade Bracelet: Lord God’s words are not very similar to what the Great Demon King said before, but they are exactly the same.
“Who is worried about this? I am annoyed by their etiquette rules of kneeling back and forth.” Rong Yu glanced at him sideways, his tone arrogant.
“To accept my gift, even the emperor of the world will have his life shortened.”

After the good news of his success came, Wen Yichu became famous in this area, and people from all over the country came to see the champion and share in the joy. Rong Yu declined the admiration of being watched like a monkey and set off for the capital the next day.
On the day he left, the people of the entire Yuexi Town came to see him off, and the little radish heads were reluctant to leave, crying with red eyes.
Xiaohu asked, “Brother Wen, will we see you again in the future?”
Rong Yu casually replied, “If you pass the imperial examination, you can come to the capital to see me.”
Little rascals: “…”
At this moment, they all swore that they must study hard and work hard so that they could serve as officials in the same court as Brother Wen in the future.
In ancient times, carriages were slow, and the journey was long. It took several months to get from Yuexi Town to the capital. Wen Yichu went to the capital to take the imperial examination before, and it was extremely difficult to sleep in the open air. Rong Yu, however, traveled with Yan Zhao and was very leisurely.
They had never walked side by side on the lively streets of the ancient world, watching the lights of thousands of families and the prosperity of the prosperous times. Rong Yu loved to eat and play, so Yan Zhao showed up and followed him to pay for things. Rong Yu bought him everything he wanted. When others saw it, they just thought it was a brother who doted on his younger brother and accompanied his younger brother to play on the street.
Others could not see how the elder brother held the man on the couch and kissed him in the inn with the door closed at night and the dim candlelight lit, with his fingers intertwined and inseparable.
Every time he was about to undress, he thought that mortals could not stand the cold, so he forced himself to endure it and finally dared to hold the man for one night.
He walked through the long street and through the spring and autumn.
Seeing that he was about to reach the border of the capital, Rong Yu had been in this world for half a year.
The closer he got to the capital, the less interested Rong Yu was.
He liked the days of freedom and carefreeness, and the capital was too restrictive.
Yan Zhao noticed that his sweetheart was becoming more and more irritable, so one night he coaxed her to sleep in the inn and go somewhere else.
He entered the emperor’s dream.
_
The emperor lived in the palace, guarded by a dragon spirit, and no evil spirits could invade. Let alone entering the dream of the emperor, ordinary ghosts can’t even step into the emperor’s bedroom.
But Yan Zhao entered the emperor’s dream easily, as if he were in an empty space.
That night, the young emperor in the bedroom had a dream.
He dreamed of a five-clawed golden dragon wrapped in golden light running towards him, turning into a man wearing a yellow robe and a crown. The man’s face was shrouded in golden light and could not be seen clearly, but his majesty could not be concealed.
Emperor Ren asked, “Who are you? How can you wear a dragon robe?”
Jin Guang replied, “I am your ancestor.”
Emperor Ren: “…”
Just when he was about to say that he was presumptuous, he suddenly changed his mind, and his face changed drastically: “Are you the emperor’s grandfather?”
Yan Zhao responded without changing his face: “Yes.”
It doesn’t matter if he is a grandfather or a great-grandfather, as long as he can make his descendants obedient.
Emperor Ren knelt down immediately: “Grandfather has given me a dream, but what instructions do you have?”
“I was originally a Purple Star Emperor* who came down to earth to gain experience. After his death, I returned to the immortal class. I have a close friend in heaven, Wenchang Star*.” Yan Zhao made up a lie: “Wenchang Star Lord is now ordered by heaven to come down to earth to assist you. The person he reincarnated is the newly promoted No. 1 scholar, Wen Yichu. Although he is a minister, he should serve the king. However, he is your grandfather’s friend and also your elder, and he is a god who has come down to earth with infinite merits. What should I do? Do you understand?”
*(True dragon blood emperor)
*(constellation of 6 stars near the big dipper)
Emperor Ren sweated: “I understand, I understand…”
He remembered Wen Yichu, who wrote an excellent article. When he first read it, he praised it and appointed him as the No. 1 scholar. I thought he was a promising talent, but who would have thought he had such an identity? The Wenchang Star descended to earth and was a friend of the emperor’s grandfather in heaven.
Emperor Ren asked weakly, “Is the emperor’s grandfather going to ask his grandson to abdicate to him?”
Yan Zhao: “I don’t mean that. I want you to know some etiquette.”
Emperor Ren nodded quickly. “I understand!”
“Take this as evidence.” Yan Zhao spread his palm and showed a heavy gold bar.
Emperor Ren was confused and didn’t understand what he wanted to prove by taking a gold bar. There was no shortage of gold bars in his treasury, right?
But before he could ask the question, the emperor’s grandfather turned into a dragon and left.
“Imperial grandfather!” Emperor Ren woke up suddenly and shouted in his dream.
Several palace maids heard the noise and quickly lifted the curtain: “Your Majesty?”
Emperor Ren looked around and found that he was in his own bedroom. What he saw just now was just a dream.
How could I suddenly dream of my grandfather, who had passed away many years ago, and what else did I dream of—Wen Yichu, the new champion?
“It’s okay, everyone leave.” Emperor Ren waved his hand.
The palace maids looked at each other in surprise and said, “Yes.”
When the curtains were lowered again, Emperor Ren wanted to lie back and continue sleeping, but he found something in the quilt that was irritating.
He took it out and saw that it was a golden bar.
Emperor Ren stared at the gold bar in a daze.
He understood… The gold bar was to prove that everything in the dream was not just a dream.
_
After completing the task, Yan Zhao returned to the inn and hugged Rong Yu to continue sleeping.
The current emperor was not as powerful as the children imagined but rather quite elegant and easy-going. He was fond of reading, loyal to his ancestors, and believed in ghosts and gods. It was right to use this to fool people.
It was a bit unfair to pretend to be someone else’s ancestor, but Yan Zhao could not let the proud Rong Yu bow down to others. Not only Rong Yu couldn’t stand it, but he couldn’t stand it either. As for the gods descending to the earth, they were all fabricated by him. In this day and age, to be an emperor, one must be Ziwei Star, and to be a minister, one must be Wenqu Star or Wenchang Star… Anyway, it was all flattery.
But he was right by accident. Wen Yichu, as the son of luck in this world, is indeed the original star of Wenchang Star.
Yan Zhao came back after a dream, which only took a moment. When he came back, he saw Rong Yu still sleeping on the couch. He didn’t want to wake him up, so he climbed up quietly.
Rong Yu asked suddenly, “Where did you go just now?”
He didn’t open his eyes, but his voice was very clear; obviously, he had been awake for a while.
Yan Zhao paused, continued to get into the bed, and hugged him in his arms. “I went out to blow the wind casually. Why did you wake up?”
What wind do you need to blow when you have become a ghost? This reason is too perfunctory.
“How can I sleep when you are not here?” Rong Yu looked at him with half-open eyes.
Yan Zhao’s eyes softened. “I will never leave you when you sleep.”
Rong Yu turned over and faced away from him. “Heh.”
Yan Zhao’s scalp tingled when he heard this syllable, so he used the simplest and most brutal method: turning him over and kissing him.
Rong Yu never refuses, and he is very deadly.
This time too, Rong Yu was kissed until her body softened quickly, and she did not ask where Yan Zhao had been just now.

On the day of reporting to the court, civil and military officials lined up on both sides of the hall, and the emperor sat upright on the dragon throne. Standing in the hall were this year’s top scholar, second scholar, and third scholar, as if they were being tried by three courts.
Compared with the second and third scholars, who tried hard to stand up but were still trembling and sweating, Rong Yu had a straight posture and looked wild, like a romantic and up-and-down young man, as described in the book.
The ministers nodded secretly, thinking that this year’s top scholar looked really extraordinary.
The second and third scholars stood still, knelt down and saluted, and said in unison, “I pay my respects to the emperor.” Rong Yu stood straight, as if he were half a beat slower in reaction.
In fact, he didn’t even plan to bend his knees. He even thought of the ridiculous excuse that his joints were stiff and it was difficult to bend his knees. He didn’t care whether others believed him or not. If they really broke up, he would just not do the task.
Rong Yu could follow the original owner’s wishes within his tolerance, but the devil was the devil and would never regard others as more important than himself.
When the ministers saw that he didn’t kneel, they thought that this champion was too young. Could he be scared by the emperor? How could he be rude in front of the emperor?
Who knew that the emperor didn’t blame him? He even stood up excitedly: “Quick, give Wen Aiqing, no, move a chair!”
Emperor Ren didn’t even dare say the word “give a seat.” After all, this was a reward from a superior to a subordinate, and he was afraid of being offensive. If it wasn’t too shocking, he might have wanted to give his dragon throne to Rong Yu.
The civil and military officials were stunned, not understanding why the emperor was so out of control.
Emperor Ren was very nervous. What do you know? This is the friend of the emperor’s grandfather, the Wenchang Star God in the sky!
Emperor Ren is also a young emperor. It is time for him to make great plans and govern the country. At the same time, he has a firm belief in the way of immortals and respects his elders. With that dream as a guide, how dare he act like an emperor toward Rong Yu?
Almost all the civil and military officials in the court are old, and the second and third place winners are over 30 years old. Emperor Ren is only a few years older than Wen Yichu. The two are of similar age and have the same talents and ambitions. In the correct world line, this pair is a monarch and a minister, as well as close friends and brothers.
But now, in a dream, Rong Yu directly raised his generation and was treated as a grandfather by Emperor Ren.
In fact, it doesn’t matter. After Rong Yu leaves the world, Emperor Ren and Wen Yichu will still get along in a normal way.
But now it is Rong Yu, and the emperor has to be a grandson.
Rong Yu was also surprised by the emperor’s attitude, but he sat down smoothly. Emperor Ren was particularly enthusiastic towards him, with a hint of subtle respect in his enthusiasm.
Of course, there were also tests on the spot, asking him some messy state governance theories.
Rong Yu was like listening to a heavenly book throughout the whole process. No, he could understand the heavenly book, but he really didn’t understand these.
Fortunately, Yan Zhao helped. Except for Rong Yu, no one could see that there was another university scholar who was talking eloquently in the hall.
Yan Zhao answered every question of Emperor Ren almost without thinking, and Rong Yu was a soulless repeater. The eyes of Emperor Ren and the ministers became brighter and brighter, and they admired him more and more.
Also listening carefully was Wen Yichu in the soul lamp.
He had studied hard for more than ten years, but it was also the first time he had dabbled in the court. The court was also a profound subject, and he had a lot to learn. Yan Zhao’s words also benefited him a lot.
When it was over, Emperor Ren was the first to applaud: “Well said!”
He now completely believed that Mr. Wen was really the Wenchang Star from heaven!
Rong Yu: Actually, I don’t know what I’m talking about.
Emperor Ren was eager to seek talents, and he was particularly excited at this moment. He gave Rong Yu a fourth-rank civil official and allowed him not to pay tribute to the emperor. In addition, he was given a mansion, ten thousand taels of gold, and thousands of acres of fertile land.
Although the rank of a rank of a fourth-rank official is not high, you have to work hard in the officialdom. Which minister present didn’t spend decades climbing up slowly? Ordinary newcomers have to start with the seventh-rank official, and the fourth-rank is already a step up, with a very high starting point. If he was given the first rank right away, other ministers would rebel on the spot.
No matter how envious, jealous, and hateful others are, Rong Yu is calm. In the eyes of some people, he is calm and steady. He has such talent and character at a young age, and his future is promising.
Little did he know that even if Emperor Ren gave him the throne on the spot, Rong Yu would still feel that he had lowered his status.
After leaving the court, Rong Yu had to wear a bright red champion robe and ride a horse to parade around the capital, with people lining the streets to watch. He was most suitable for red, wearing bright clothes and riding a horse, and he was wantonly romantic, which made Yan Zhao’s eyes burn and his heart burn.
But when he moved into the new house at night, the high-spirited champion changed his face and complained to Yan Zhao: “I have worn my legs red from riding a horse; I should ride a sedan chair; and you ride a horse and wear a red robe to meet me.”
In order to celebrate the happy event, the champion’s mansion was decorated in red, and a bedroom was made to look like a wedding room.
Rong Yu sat on the bed. Yan Zhao half-knelt to help him take off his boots, lowered his eyes, and said, “I’m tired today, so rest early.”
Rong Yu looked at him and said, “The little emperor was so respectful to me; was it you who did it?”
Yan Zhao said, “It’s just a piece of cake.”
Rong Yu didn’t ask what method Yan Zhao used; anyway, it was enough for him to see the results.
Rong Yu said, “Yan Zhao, do you know what the four joys of people are?”
“Hmm?”
“It’s raining after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and passing the imperial examination.”
Yan Zhao looked up and said, “Isn’t it the four joys? There is another joy.”
Rong Yu looked at him for a moment, pulled him onto the bed, and put down the red curtain.
He took off his champion robe and covered his cold body with it.
“And the wedding night.”
