Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 200: Winning over students who are about to take the imperial examination

Mu Tangxi noticed that the voice beside her ear had disappeared. She looked up and saw Ji Qichen leaning against the window on the other side, imitating her movements and looking at her in a daze.

She was confused. Why did Ji Qichen keep looking at her?

Mu Tangxi didn't expect that her appearance had such a great destructive power. After all, she had rarely been out in her previous life. In this life, she was surrounded by Gu Shiming and Gu Shiyin, as well as the current young general's wife An Shulan, and the second prince's wife Yi Linlang.

When attending the banquet, others could only watch Mu Tangxi from the sidelines as they could not get close to those people.

As good friends, they would not suddenly compliment her on her looks. After all, they had grown up together as friends and they were used to it.

The only person who would praise Mu Tangxi was Gu Shiyin, but because of his frequent praise, Mu Tangxi only felt that Gu Shiyin was a dependency that he developed when he was on the verge of death.

What Mu Tangxi knew most clearly in her past and present lives was that she had beautiful eyes, so beautiful that Mu Lianxue gave up her disgust for her and used a secret medicine to preserve her eyes.

So Mu Tangxi wondered if Ji Qichen also liked her eyes? Did he like them so much that he wanted to pick them off and keep them as a collection?

“Qi Chen, since you have already won over the generals on the border, you can’t ignore the civil officials either.”

The most important thing now is to win over the forces in the court. The border is too far away and will not be of much help.

But most of the power in the court had been divided up, leaving only the neutral faction where my father stood.

However, Ji Qichen cannot choose any of these.

"Qi Chen," Mu Tangxi raised the corners of his eyes slightly, "Since the officials in the court cannot be won over, why don't you take a look at the newcomers who are about to become officials?"

Those eyes tempted the person being stared at like honey. Whether it was a trap or poison, Ji Qichen wanted to try it.

Anyway, you will die sooner or later!

Besides, Tangxi was right. The palace examination was in March, which was exactly the time for them to get married.

Now he can recruit these new people into his team in advance!

The most likely candidate to win the No. 1 pick this year is…

"Qin Mu is likely to become the top scholar. The eldest princess has a special attitude towards him. How is your relationship with the eldest princess?" Mu Tangxi asked.

Ji Qichen hesitated for a moment, "My relationship with the Imperial Sister..."

"Not very familiar."

Mu Tangxi pondered for a while, "Then do you think the princess has any ambitions?"

Ji Qichen's eyes froze for a moment. Ambition? What could the emperor's sister be ambitious about?

When did the imperial sister start treating Qin Mu differently?

To win over a person who is likely to become the top scholar and enter the palace as an official, the ambition of the imperial sister...

Ji Qichen sighed. It was really difficult to live with Tangxi.

"My sister may indeed have ambitions to control power. It may be because if we lose the war and need to marry someone, my sister will be the first choice. She wants to protect herself."

Protect yourself?

Mu Tangxi felt that the eldest princess was more because she was too smart. She was so smart that she broke free from the shackles that bound people in this world and wanted to try for the supreme position that all the princes wanted to fight for.

As the emperor's first born daughter, the eldest princess was doted on, and she was also the daughter of Concubine Wen.

However, her disadvantage also lies in Concubine Wen.

Concubine Wen is the daughter of the old tutor. She was indoctrinated with the idea of ​​imperial power since she was a child and was required to read the female rules carefully.

The reason why she was favored by the emperor was largely due to her beauty and her obedient nature.

If Concubine Wen knew what the eldest princess wanted to do, she would have abolished her own daughter immediately.

However, Mu Tangxi was still very curious. How did the eldest princess grow up to be so ambitious under the guidance of Concubine Wen?

Although Ji Qichen believed in the soldiers on the border, marriages between foreign princes had always existed from ancient times to the present and were inevitable.

Besides, the imperial sister is not married yet!

This is even more dangerous!

Mu Tangxi thought about whether he could get Qin Mu to join them.

"Qi Chen, you can try to use the poetry collection as a starting point for communicating with Qin Mu. He likes that poetry collection very much."

Mu Tangxi paused halfway through her speech and said, "Qi Chen, have you read that poetry collection?"

Ji Qichen's thoughts were still on his royal sister when he was caught off guard by Mu Tangxi's name.

"Ah? Ah, I've read it, it's really well written."

Ji Qichen looked at Tangxi with a somewhat vague gaze, as he had accidentally lost his focus just now.

But he straightened his expression in an instant, "Qin Mu? I see. I will try to win him over."

"Well, there are also students who have the potential to serve as officials in the court."

Mu Tangxi thought it would be better for him to test Qin Mu's thoughts first.

After Ji Qichen was quiet for a while, he said to Tang Xi sincerely, "Do you want me to help you get rid of Mu Lianxue? Then you don't have to be afraid!"

And if Tangxi agreed, wouldn't that be considered complicity?

Mu Tangxi was stunned for a moment and refused, "No need."

She'll sort it out herself.

Ji Qichen continued to ask bluntly: "Tangxi, are your father and mother good to you?"

He was eager to know everything about Tangxi.

Mu Tangxi's eyes deepened for a moment, "Of course he is very good to me."

Except in her previous life, her parents were very good to her in this life.

Maybe it was because she became more valuable in their eyes.

Mu Tangxi decided to reveal some things to Ji Qichen, otherwise he would keep asking, "Last time at the Princess's Mansion, my elder brother was harmed by Mu Lianxue."

Ji Qichen: “Ah?”

"In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mu Lianxue also gave my second brother and two servants Yilan incense."

Ji Qichen: “Ah?!”

"Then she trampled on the things my third brother used to reproduce."

Ji Qichen looked horrified: "..."

After listening to it, I felt a chill down my spine, so scary!

To be honest, he had never seen anyone as courageous as Mu Lianxue!

"Then Tangxi, are you okay?" Ji Qichen asked worriedly.

Mu Tangxi shook his head, "I'm fine."

She pondered for a moment, "My eldest brother, second brother, and third brother asked me to go with them to take revenge on Mu Lianxue, and then we will destroy the thing that allows her to reproduce."

Mu Tangxi originally thought that even if Ji Qichen was not afraid, he would subconsciously reject her. Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she saw Ji Qichen's shining eyes.

"Tangxi, it's great that you got your revenge!"

Ji Qichen suddenly remembered something. He took out a small wooden box with exquisite carvings from his sleeve and placed it on the table in front of Tangxi.

"Tangxi, this is something I picked specially. Do you like it?"

Ji Qichen looked at Tang Xi with some trepidation in his dark eyes; this was his first time choosing a gift.

There was no one around him who could give him reference, so he tried hard to choose the gift based on his own aesthetic taste and by observing Tangxi's daily dress!

Both of them were focusing on the gifts on the table, but they didn't notice that there was a man in green clothes and a girl in yellow clothes looking at their window expressionlessly on the street.
