Under the persuasion of the others, Mu Wenfu finally calmed down a little.
Since things had already come to this, there was nothing he could do even if his heart was not calm.
The group of people continued to drink and have fun while gritting their teeth at He Shen…
A few days later, because the Emperor had re-determined the rankings for He Shen, the rumors that Yu Minzhong and the others had deliberately spread to slander He Shen were instantly swept away.
And now, because He Shen was already a Huiyuan, it was very likely that he would continue to be a high ranking official in the upcoming court examination in May this year, which was next month.
Even though they were ordinary palace guards, they still had to take the examination if they wanted to become officials.
But at the very least, he already had the qualifications to be an official, right?
Once a scholar became an official, their status would be completely different from ordinary scholars.
One was in the sky, while the other was on the ground.
Furthermore, with He Shen's strength, if he had a better result and got into the first rank of the court examination, he would not need to take the examination and would be directly awarded an official position.
With this, He Shen's reputation as the great scholar of Fujian instantly rose above the famous scholars of other places.
This was because no matter how famous the great scholar was, he was only known among the common people.
Huiyuan was a well-deserved honor of the imperial examinations. In the imperial examinations held once every three years, there was only one person who could pass Huiyuan.
Because of this, in the past two days, there were many scholars who delivered visiting cards to the inn where He Shen and Cao Rui stayed.
They were all here to visit Heshen.
There were even more people who invited He Shen to the banquet.
However, He Shen had rejected all of them. If he were to receive all of these visitors and attend all of the banquets, then would he only be able to entertain them and not do anything else?
Besides, Heshen himself didn't like to attend those empty social gatherings.
Because they had heard that the " Huiyuan " of this year's imperial examinations was staying here, many people said that this inn was very talented. Many tribute scholars who were going to participate in next month's court examinations came to stay here. For a time, the inn was overcrowded.
With so much money coming in, the boss laughed so hard that his teeth almost fell out.
On this day, the guest house welcomed a young master who was dressed in an ordinary black satin robe and wore a black cap with amber and turquoise. He looked very handsome, but his temperament was too feminine and somewhat feminine.
This young master was under Qianlong's orders to inform He Shen to meet his eunuch manager, Wu Shulai.
"Young master, do you want to eat or stay in the hotel?”
When the innkeeper saw this handsome young master in front of him, he could tell at a glance that the other party's identity was extraordinary. He hurriedly dismissed the waiter and personally ran up to ask.
"If you're staying in the hotel, then I'm sorry. Our rooms are full.”
Without waiting for Wu Shu to answer, the shopkeeper informed him in advance.
"I'm not staying or eating. I'm here to look for someone.”
Who knew that this handsome young master with a feminine temperament would use a long and sharp voice that was somewhat different from ordinary people's.
The shopkeeper instantly recognized that although the person in front of him was wearing casual clothes, he was probably a eunuch from the palace.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to be negligent and continued to speak respectfully,""Who are you looking for?"
"I'm here to find Heshen and gongzi.”Wu Shulai said.
"Young Master He happens to be at the inn. I'll bring you there now.”the shopkeeper said.
"You lead the way." Wu Shulai said calmly.
"Alright." The shopkeeper quickly brought Wu Shulai to He Shen's room.
"Young Master He, there is a eunuch in the palace who says he has something to discuss with you.”
The shopkeeper knocked on He Shen's door and shouted.
"And you are?“
He Shen, who was reading in his room, heard the shopkeeper's knocking. He put down the book in his hand, stood up, and opened the door.
When he saw the person standing at the door, he recognized him at a glance. This was the person he had seen Qianlong twice. Both times, he was following behind Qianlong. He was the person who seemed to be a eunuch.
"There's nothing for you to do here. You can leave now.“
Seeing He Shen open the door, Wu Shulai walked into He Shen's room and turned to the innkeeper behind him.
"Then I'll be busy.“
The shopkeeper responded and left.
After the innkeeper left, Wu Shulai turned around and smiled at He Shen,"I'm Wu Shulai, the chief eunuch under the Emperor. Young Master He can just call me Eunuch Wu. The reason I came here today is to inform Young Master He that the Emperor wishes to meet him.
"Your Majesty wants to see me?"”
Then He Shen came back to his senses and asked,""When?"
"If Young Master He is free now, you can follow me into the palace immediately," Wu Shulai said with a smile.”
He Shen hesitated for a moment. He was not ready to meet the emperor of this world, but since the emperor had sent someone to deliver the message, he nodded and said,"I'm free now."
"That's good, let's go now!" Wu Shulai said happily.”
"Alright," He Shen replied.
Then, he closed the door and greeted Cao Rui before leaving the inn with Wu Shulai.
There was already a very low-key ordinary carriage waiting at the entrance of the inn. He Shen and Wu Shulai got on the carriage together. The carriage ran through Desheng Gate Street and out of the inner city. Under the permission of the Royal Bell Army guarding the Imperial City, it entered the Forbidden City...
