Aunt Zhen laughed and said,"Only you two punks have the ability to be virtuous?" If you are really knowledgeable, you will be awarded the imperial examination this year. You can participate in the imperial examination. When the time comes, you will be a scholar and become a high official. I can also benefit from it.”
Kuo Zhong mumbled and said awkwardly,""Virtue, reputation, and talent are all cultivated. We eavesdrop on Old Master Bai's lectures and teachings every day. Our knowledge is definitely much better than those poor scholars, but…it's still not easy to get into the Jinshi exam.”
Wei Zhenzhen shook her head." I can't be bothered to care about you. I'm just telling you that the Emperor has shown mercy today and ordered the granaries to be opened for food." There was a porridge stall at the city gate that provided free porridge and steamed buns. I'll go over to help in the afternoon. If you're hungry, you can come and find me. I'll give you more when the time comes.”
"Alright!"
Xu Zhiling and Kuo Zhong immediately beamed with joy. The two of them were just simple hooligans now. They had no opinions or positions. They would eat whoever gave them food.

In the evening, Yang Guang was reading the memorial in the Living Palace. He was planning to explore the dungeon world next. Anyway, he still had 3000 gold coins, which was enough for them to stay in the dungeon world for a month. If he could obtain one of the five scrolls, including the Northern Dark Divine Technique, and synthesize it into the Son of Heaven's Seal Technique, it would be of great help to him.
"Your…Your Majesty, the Pu 'er tea you wanted is here.”
A soft voice sounded in Yang Guang's ears. He didn't care much and casually picked up the teacup. He was stunned when he caught a glimpse of it. It turned out that the woman who served him tea was Wei Zhenzhen, whom he had met this morning! At this moment, Wei Zhenzhen's clothes were a little crude, but it was clearly the style of the imperial concubines.
"Your Majesty…"
Being stared at by Yang Guang, Wei Zhenzhen's face was almost cooked, and her little head was almost buried in her breast.
"Oh, it's fine. You can go down first.”
Yang Guang did not even need to think to know that this was definitely Yu Shiji's doing. He immediately asked Cao Zhengchun to send an edict to let Yu Shiji enter the palace.
After a while, Yu Shiji strode over quickly and knelt down before he could stand firm.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Yu Shiji, do you know your sins?"
Yang Guang didn't let him get up and directly asked coldly. Although Yu Shiji forcefully kidnapped Wei Zhenzhen into the palace to do things for him, this kind of atmosphere could not be encouraged. Otherwise, how could he govern the world if he forcefully snatched women every two or three days?
Yu Shiji knelt on the ground and naturally guessed the reason, but he still pretended to be confused and said,"I don't know what Your Majesty is talking about.”
"You dare to say that you didn't arrange Wei Zhenzhen's matter?" Yang Guang said angrily. I told you last time that you are not allowed to forcefully pull a commoner girl into the palace. The monarch is not joking. What else do you have to say?”
"This…This subject is wronged. This time, Your Majesty is touring Yangzhou in the south, and most of the palace attendants have stayed in Luoyang. According to the system, they need to be replenished locally. This subject is only doing things according to the rules. As for Wei Zhenzhen, her parents sold her to Old Feng of the bun shop for three hundred taels of silver. If I didn't choose her to enter the palace, she would have to be Old Feng's concubine. At this moment, her gratitude was not enough. How could she have any resentment?”
Yang Guang suddenly realized that since the Sui Dynasty, there had been strict divisions in the harem. For example, the most honorable three palaces and nine concubines, followed by Jie Yu, Lady, Bao Lin, Imperial Daughter, and many other grades. The highest level of the three palaces was of the first grade, while the lowest level of Cai Nu was only of the seventh grade. The daily usage was also set according to the grade.
Usually, the so-called talent selection would be recommended by the women of the imperial court officials or the provincial governors. Once these women were selected, they would at least be given the title of a fourth-grade 'noble woman'.
As for the concubines, although they were also the Emperor's women, most of them did not have the opportunity to sleep with the Emperor, so they naturally did not have the opportunity to be promoted. Most of these women were directly selected from the people, and their treatment was no different from ordinary palace maids. Occasionally, they even had to help with the work of serving tea.
Wei Zhenzhen had been chosen by Yu Shiji to enter the palace and was given the title of a fifth-grade treasure forest. Compared to the other women who had come with him, she was indeed given a lot of preferential treatment.
Just as Yu Shiji said, Wei Zhenzhen was indeed very happy. She had thought that she would marry a commoner who cared about daily necessities and live a lowly life as a concubine. However, she did not expect to become a concubine in the palace. Not only did she have new clothes and delicious food, but she could also receive a considerable monthly allowance every month. This was simply like a dream to her.
Yang Guang could not help but praise Yu Shiji. This person did have some talent, but unfortunately, he did not put it to good use.
"Right, Minister Yu, I remember that your brother is also an official in the imperial court, right?”
Yang Guang did not forget Yu Shiji's younger brother, Yu Shinan. This guy was a famous internal affairs talent. Although he was not as good as Du Ruhui, he was still rare. Yang Guang, who was currently lacking talent, had already reserved him.
"This…"
At the mention of his younger brother, Yu Shinan, Yu Shiji's calm expression suddenly froze. After a long while, he said,"My younger brother has already resigned and recuperated at home because of his unwell body a few days ago. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty.”
Yang Guang knew that there was a hidden story behind it, but he still smiled and said,""This is easy to handle. Zhen happens to have another important task to entrust to your brother. Ask him to come to see Zhen after the morning court session tomorrow morning. Is there a problem?”
"This…subject obeys the decree."
night falls
Thinking of Wei Zhenzhen's pretty face, Yang Guang's heart couldn't help but itch. He couldn't continue reading the memorial on the table. Although Wei Zhenzhen's appearance was inferior to Huang Yuling's, and her skin was not as delicate as Huang Yuling's, she had an excellent figure, especially her bulging chest, as if she could break free at any time. One look at her was enough to make one's fingers move.
Moreover, Wei Zhenzhen was a famous person in the Legend of Two Dragons. To him, it was like conquering a star.
Yang Guang lowered his head and thought for a moment. A thought came to his mind. He waved his hand and beckoned Cao Zhengchun, who was serving at the door, to give him some instructions in a low voice.
