Cheng Shenyong did not mind the issue of cheating or not cheating, he directly finished a few matches, wiped off his sweat, ate something to rest himself, and it was relatively easy, just that he had consumed a lot of energy.
It was even more difficult to keep watch. One had to continuously challenge ten people in order to be able to enter the top ten.
In any case, Cheng Shenyong had smoothly passed the examination. He and Cheng Yingwu were going to continue to prepare for the next exam.
Cheng Guanyue took advantage of her free time to give Cheng Shenyong a few pointers.
Cheng Shenyong also specially reviewed the techniques used to become nine other people, and also started to destroy them one by one according to Cheng Guanyue's guidance.
As for Cheng Yingwu, it was all thanks to Third Uncle's tutoring and his teacher, Master Zhao.
They were people who had once taken the examinations for the top rank or to scout flowers. As for the top scholar, he was directly recruited by the current crown prince as a tutor.
The crown prince was established a while ago when the emperor was recovering from his illness.
The Crown Prince was the son of the Consort Wen, the Third Prince.
The empress's child was too weak, and she forbade her child to exercise with the other princes.
As a result, his body was extremely weak. He wouldn't be able to live for long.
Furthermore, because of Gu Zhilun's impatience, he wanted to send out the troops but ended up getting caught and imprisoned in the death prison. That would mean that the position of Empress had been deposed as well, it was just that there was never been a decree, and even if the Empress wanted to step out of the palace, it would probably be very difficult to do so.
To put it bluntly, it was no different from being grounded.
It was so much so that the harem had a faint tendency of the Imperial Consort Su dominating a region and believed that the Imperial Consort Su would become the true hidden master of the harem in the near future.
It was a pity that she had no children and did not have the qualifications to sit on the throne. She could only work with the six palaces.
Although the Third Prince was not the direct descendant, he was smart and lively. Even though he was the Crown Prince, he didn't show any arrogance.
On the contrary, he was asking humbly for advice.
He was a talent that could be created.
Moreover, Consort Wen was the granddaughter of Elder Zhang, someone who had studied poetry since childhood. She was gentle and refined, different from Imperial Consort Su who was beautiful like a rose.
Also, Cheng Guanyue had seen Consort Wen before, Consort Wen did have her own schemes, but they were not very deep.
He was also a little disdainful of fighting and was very friendly towards Cheng Yeyue.
It was probably because the Third Prince was being trained by her and was becoming more and more sturdy.
Consort Wen saw it in her eyes and saw it in her heart, so she definitely had to know how good Cheng Guanyue was.
However, the Consort Wen didn't seem to be favored by the Emperor, she was just a decoration.
Of course the Consort Wen didn't care. In her heart, only the Third Prince was everything to her.
Moreover, back then she had risked her life to save the third prince.
Perhaps it was because she had given birth to the Third Prince that she had obtained the Emperor's loathing.
But how does he know how alluring a child can be to a mother?
Besides, the three palaces and six courtyards of the emperor have countless beauties in the harem. Perhaps you will still be doted on tomorrow, and you will change your mind the day after tomorrow.
Under such difficult circumstances, the Consort Wen had to have a child of his own.
Coincidentally, Consort Wen got pregnant in the first month after entering the palace, so the emperor probably didn't have enough time to do anything.
Because of this, the Consort Wen painstakingly gave birth to the Third Prince, and from then on, it provoked the emperor's taboo.
It was her turn to sleep only once a month, and it was for her family.
In actuality, she really didn't care whether the Emperor doted on her or not. As long as she entered the palace, she would be able to find a place in the harem.
Most of the consorts were fearful of her because of her family background, so how could they dare to offend her?
As for the Imperial Consort Su and Empress, although they were wary of her, they would not easily take action.
This was because Consort Wen was someone who couldn't be bothered to fight for her favors, so why would she bother provoking her?
The Consort Wen was happy to be at peace.
However, ever since the crown prince had been established, the emperor would frequently visit the Consort Wen Palace.
However, the Consort Wen did not even bother to pay attention to him and pretended that he did not exist.
But the more it was like this, the more the Emperor wanted to provoke the Consort Wen.
After all, which woman in the imperial harem wouldn't coquettishly order him around and curried favor with him.
Only the Consort Wen was happy, he only said a few words to him, but he was unhappy.
So when Consort Wen saw the Emperor running towards her every day, she couldn't help but curse in her heart: Bastard.
Yet, he still didn't like the Emperor.
She didn't love him. She had entered the palace just for the clan, especially with the Third Prince. All her hopes were placed on her son. How could she possibly care about the Emperor's favor?
In fact, Consort Wen's heart was broken by the Emperor.
Even if she was mentally prepared and a widow.
She didn't expect that the Emperor would be so heartless. He would rather spend all his efforts to make fun of someone who was either a promise or a noble, than to give her any face.
Then why did she still try to curry favor with him? She wasn't like the Emperor, who was born to be a lowly person.
But Consort Wen had never said these words to anyone.
When Chen Xianyue visited the Empress Dowager Su in the palace, he could feel that there were a lot of things on the minds of Consort Wen and they were all very depressing.
But in the palace, which woman was not full of worries and worries, and who had ever truly laughed happily?
However, on account of the crown prince, Cheng Guanyue was bored and chatted with Consort Wen for a while.
She didn't expect that her tone was filled with disdain towards the Emperor, as if she didn't care in the slightest about the Emperor's favors.
Of course, all that the Consort Wen had told her was already in her stomach.
It was because Consort Wen believed in Cheng Guanyue's character that she blurted out a lot of information.
After all, these days, it was already hard to meet a few companions who were willing to speak the truth.
It's fine if she doesn't want to sell you out, but she's still hoping to say something that will make her feel guilty.
After listening to Consort Wen's discontent and catharsis, Cheng Guanyue returned back to the Academy with great success.
Consort Wen heaved a sigh of relief as she watched Cheng Guanyue's back.
Heaven knows how much she wanted to kick the Emperor out of the palace every time she saw him.
Instead of smiling at him, he poured him a cup of tea.
Besides attending school at the tutor's, His Highness the Crown Prince had also been reporting to Cheng Yeyue from time to time for the past few days.
Although the Crown Prince's martial arts talent was not high, he was still able to learn the basic martial arts techniques.
Seeing this, Cheng Guanyue also nodded with satisfaction, because as long as he could help the crown prince strengthen his body, he would be fine.
Not everyone had to be strong enough to run amok.
Otherwise, all the martial arts experts in the world could do whatever they wanted.
The Crown Prince himself was a wise man. He knew that since his martial arts talent was not high, he had to work hard in terms of talent.
Of course, in terms of martial arts techniques, he did not fall behind. He kept memorizing those martial arts moves with all his might.
Compared to the others, he was slightly behind, but he had a solid foundation and was very diligent.
Moreover, as the emperor, it was not a good thing to have high levels of martial arts.
No martial arts fanatic had ever been able to become an emperor.
