The autumn was cold, and today was similarly the first autumn examination of Navy Tide's history.

The pitter-patter of the autumn rain brought chilliness to the raindrops that fell on the umbrella.

In today's Autumn Competition, the entire Heaven Flame turned from the bustling atmosphere of a large number of students into silence, even the carriages and horses were being very careful, and Gu Danyan was also not allowed to wear plain white clothes.

Dozens of teachers walked back and forth in the courtyard, afraid that the examinees would cheat.

Gu Danyan put down his cup and looked towards Third Prince Duan Chengrui, "Why didn't you see Wang Mo coming to the Autumn Examination? Both Zhou Da and Xu Gui are here."

"Wang Mo said that he is not an official and wants to do business with Zheng Qiankun on the small street. He thinks that the money is more important than his position." At that time, when the small street was burnt, Wang Mo had written the word 'wronged' in front of the yamen's yamen. Even the Emperor went into a rage when he heard this, and even if he passed the Autumn Trial, it was likely that no one would dare to take him.

"However, the Meng Xu that Princess Consort knows has already brought your younger brother Gu Yanzhi to Ying Prefecture to become the Prefect. It just so happens that he is the one under my jurisdiction to clear out the bandits." There were a few ministers sitting beside him, so he was naturally hostile towards Gu Liuyan: "As long as Royal Concubine says something, I can move her to a place under Royal Uncle's jurisdiction on my own accord."

A few of the ministers looked over and pricked up their ears to listen.

"No need, you can go anywhere you want, Young Master Meng." Gu Liuyan smiled lightly: "I just don't know what the third prince thinks about this Autumn Examination."

"Naturally, it is because they value the top scorers. I'm afraid that they won't be able to win this round." As he spoke till here, Duan Chengrui let out a deep sigh. The few ministers lowered their heads one after the other, pretending as if they did not see anything.

Gu Danyan just smiled and glanced at each of the ministers in front of him. He found them interesting.

It was as if they had never seen a girl who could sit in the examination room. However, due to Gu Daiyan's outstanding background, she could only lower her head in submission, not daring to speak a word.

Couldn't be bothered to argue with them, she slowly stood up. It was only because she couldn't enter that she was accompanied by a ghost. The two of them strolled around the examination hall, and quite a few of the students looked up in surprise when they saw her.

Gu Danyan only took in their gazes before returning to his seat and yawned lazily. "I heard that the bandits of Ying Prefecture are still being held captive. How does His Highness think we should deal with them?"

"One of the bandits has unknown origins. I still need to interrogate him carefully." Duan Chengrui raised his eyebrows.

"The foreign powers have sent envoys to Sky Flame …"

The two of them had already talked about Navy Tide's political affairs as if no one else was present, causing the officials below to feel embarrassed.

How could Princess Jing understand the matters of the imperial court so well? Whether it was the request of the northwest mounted gangsters or foreign envoys, or even the southern autumn harvest, the third prince was able to respond fluently. It was truly admirable.

Only ghosts knew that the two of them were just giving these officials a look at their own abilities. By the way, they could also let this group of people know that the Third Prince was not someone to be trifled with. In addition, there was a lot of information being exchanged between the two of them.

After chatting for half an hour, Gu Pingyan's mouth was dry. He took a sip of water and raised his head: "It seems like the rain is getting heavier."

"Yeah." Duan Chengrui only drank a mouthful of tea after he was interrupted.

However, Gu Danyan had already stood up: "I need to go to the Prime Minister's Estate. My little sister is pregnant, but I have to take care of her myself."

As he finished speaking, he stormed out of the hall, and the ministers all heaved a sigh of relief. Before any of them could say anything, Gu Liuyan rushed back with Phantom Shadow to Duan Chenrui's side, and said in a low voice: "That's right, your wife wasn't feeling well when she came to the Ji Shi Hall earlier. I'm afraid she caught a cold. I'll come to your residence later."

"Sorry for troubling you, consort." Duan Chengrui quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.

Gu Liuyan waved his hand. This time, he finally left.

The officials continued to discuss amongst themselves. When Crown Princess Jing talked about matters of state, she seemed like an imperial concubine, but when it came to healing and saving people, she seemed like a complete doctor, unfathomable.

The corners of Duan Chengrui's mouth twitched when no one saw him, Gu Liuyan was really interesting.

After leaving the stage, Gu Danyan also withdrew the smile on her face. Ever since the matter of his mother's coffin had been resolved after their previous debt of blood and debt, there had been no more traces of her remaining. The only difference was that Madam Gu and Gu Cheng seemed to have treated her better all of a sudden.

He only came to the Prime Minister's residence and checked on Gu Zixian's pulse as usual, "Everything is very normal, it's just that I'm not a midwife, when the time comes I'll have to let them see if this birthplace is normal or not."

After Gu Zixian became pregnant, he became a lot more gentle. He had been taking care of Gu Daiyan day and day for a long time, and found her pleasing to the eye. He smiled at her: "Then I really have to thank elder sister."

"In a few days, the Imperial Palace will have its autumn feast. The envoys from the other nations will also come over to give their apologies …" Gu Danyan really didn't want her to go. It would be dangerous all the way there.

However, this time, Duan Chengxuan wasn't around. If he didn't go to Prince Jing's estate this time, there would truly be no one left.

"I must go." However, Gu Cheng spoke up. Ignoring the pitiful appearance of Madam Gu who was tugging on his sleeve, he said in a deep voice, "Yan'er is intelligent. I'll leave the matter of diplomatic relations to you. Zixu only needs to maintain his image."

However, Gu Mingyan knew what Gu Cheng was thinking.

To have such an obedient grandson about to land in front of the emperor's eyes, wasn't it just to win over the hearts of the king?

"Father, with her pregnancy, it's not appropriate for her to go to such a noisy place." As soon as Gu Daiyan finished speaking, she had already been fiercely glared at by Gu Cheng, giving another lecture.

Helpless, Gu Daiyan had no choice but to agree. Gu Cheng had also indicated that he would send someone to follow him, so nothing could go wrong.

On the night of the Autumn Trial, heavy rain poured down.

Gu Moyan was studying the medicine formulas alone in the Great King's Manor, while the other scholars of the Imperial Examinations were still working night and day, and would have to spend two whole days to decide on their essay. After that, they would rest for one day, and after that, they would have to take another two hours to get the teachers of the Han Forest to ask one by one, "This is the new Imperial Examinations."

However, in the dead of night, ghosts and people entered her Phoenix Cry Garden.

Gu Dai Yan put down the brush and ink in his hands. Seeing that Zhu Yan and the Scarlet Scorpion were almost wet, he said helplessly, "Qing Dai, go get two bowls of ginger soup. Ghost, send the things I wrote down to Master Meng and Master Xu's house.

After Ghostly Green Daughter left, Zhu Yan walked over with a dark expression. "Aren't you afraid that we'll directly kill you after you transfer all the people away?"
