Chang E's gaze was firm, she kowtowed and said, "This subject wishes to enter the palace to serve as a palace maid and follow the noble Master in the harem. This way, I can learn etiquette and improve my experience."

The moment he said this, the entire audience went into an uproar.

Enter the palace to be a palace maid? Serving the Master s of the harem? Not serving the emperor?

Lord Chang was so angry that his face turned red. He really wanted to rush over and give his daughter a good beating.

What nonsense are you talking about? Such a once in a lifetime opportunity had been wasted just like that.

A palace maid? A palace maid with no status at all. She actually rushed over to take the job. How infuriating.

Honestly speaking, just now, he had the same thoughts as everyone else, thinking that this person was trying to get him a position. He didn't expect her to only want to serve the Master in the harem.

His gaze unwittingly fell on Mo Weinong's body.

The latter lightly blinked her eyes and did not say anything more.

Emperor Xuanwu hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "Since it's what you want, then I will agree as well. "I'll get the empress to arrange a suitable seat for you later. Just do your job properly."

Chang E heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face became somewhat brighter, "Thank you, your majesty, for your grace."

She had thought about it long ago, that she wouldn't be able to stay in the Chang Clan. Not to mention other rewards, even if she asked for some silk and satin, she would be taken by her first wife.

Her status in the family was low, if she did not want to be bullied, she could only beg the emperor for a seat of honor, one that could suppress others, such as the County Lord, but this seat was not cabbages, how could it be won so easily? Furthermore, even if they did have grade, they would still have to listen to their parents' arrangements at home.

Rather than that, he might as well leave the Chang Clan and live his own life.

However, she was not a Female Envoy Mo. There was no Female Envoy Palace that could let her live here alone, so it would not make sense for her, an unmarried girl, to leave the Chang Residence.

The only best option was to enter the palace. With the existence of the palace's noble Master, no matter if she were to marry someone or make other arrangements, it would be up to the Master, as long as they had nothing to do with the Chang Residence.

Although she was not sure what kind of person she would be in Master, she had to keep on fighting. Whether it was good or bad, it would all be up to her.

Emperor Xuanwu waved his hand and looked at the person behind — — Li Zhian.

On the contrary, he had a deep impression of the ladies of the Li Guogong Palace.

"What about you? What request do you have? "

Li Zhian took in a deep breath, and under the worried gaze of the Li Guogong, he kowtowed and said, "I plead for Your Majesty to allow this subject to recover his rank, and to continue participating in the Encyclopedia Exam."

Li Guogong's heart skipped a beat. In the end, he had still said it.

That fool, how could he speak so openly? Is it so easy to ask for the emperor's favor?

Li Guogong had two sons and a daughter in his life. His eldest son had already been conferred the title of crown prince for a long time now, but because of the matter of Fangguo, he had been deprived of the position of crown prince for a few years now. His eldest son happened to be one of the three generations that had inherited the position of duke from the previous generation, but they were also deprived of that position.

His youngest son had studied hard earlier, but had managed to earn the title of High Scholar. But because of that incident, his title was gone as well.

This was also the reason why the Li Guogong Residence had become more and more defeated. Fortunately, with Li Zhian, the little girl, there were a lot of miscellaneous books. They knew that many people who were depressed and had lost their ambitions were still living brilliantly, and thus, had some influence on their two sons.

In the past few years, his two sons had become a lot more open-minded.

However, it was a pity that a man's ambition was limited even though he wanted to return to his country.

Restoring the position of the eldest son was extremely difficult, which was why Li Zhian wanted to help second brother restore his title as High Scholar.

When the Emperor Xuanwu heard her request, he squinted his eyes and tapped on the armrest of the chair.

Many people who knew about the inner workings of the Li Guogong Palace lowered their heads. Some were watching the show, some were worried, some were gloating, and there were even some who wanted to add insult to injury.

Emperor Xuanwu glanced at Mo Weinong again. He didn't believe that this Junior Sister didn't know about the requests of the few ladies, she should know about the situation in the Li Guogong Palace as well.

However, thinking about Mo Weinong's attitude towards the Eighth Prince, he sighed and waved her hand, "Alright, I will restore Li Jue Ran's status. If he truly has knowledge, then she will be able to take a step forward in the future."

"..." "Thank you, your majesty." A look of ecstasy flashed across Li Zhian's face, and she immediately kowtowed deeply.

Perhaps it was because she was too excited, but her body started to tremble.

The nervousness from before was swept away, and she couldn't help but tightly hold her hand.

Not far away, Li Guogong's face was also filled with astonishment. His face was filled with disbelief. He actually agreed to it?

The other officials present could not help but look at each other in dismay, and began to guess the thoughts of the Emperor.

Li Guogong immediately knelt down, "Your subject … "Thank you, my lord."

"Sigh, forget it. I also know that you all have been feeling wronged for the past few years. Get up. Your daughter is pretty well-educated."

When Emperor Xuanwu said this, he was even more shocked.

What does the Emperor mean by this? They actually admitted that the Li Guogong was wronged? Is this the meaning of reuse?

Li Guogong was also stunned for a moment, and then said emotionally, "This humble subject is terrified, this humble subject is … "Terrified."

Then, he stood up shakily.

Emperor Xuanwu did not speak further, and stopped looking at Li Zhian. When his gaze landed on Cui Xuezhen, his expression relaxed a bit, and his attitude became friendly.

"Where's Lady Cui?"

"This subject's request might be a bit special. I wonder if the emperor can agree to it." In the end, Cui Xuezhen had come out of the Cui Family, and seeing that the Emperor's mood was not bad, his words carried a little mischievousness, rousing the atmosphere by two points.

Mo Weinong, who was at the side, smiled. This Cui Xuezhen had always been one to adjust the atmosphere.

Sure enough, the Emperor Xuanwu's interest was piqued as he asked curiously, "Especially? Now that Lady Cui has put it this way, I would like to know more about it. Say it, even if we were to give out the rewards of others, you will not be left behind. "

The Patriarch of the Cui Family was someone who knew his limits, and Emperor Xuanwu had also seen the scene when Cui Xuezhen ran over to discuss it with him.

The other people present also looked towards the Patriarch of the Cui Family, as if they were trying to find some clues.

Cui Xuezhen pursed her lips and laughed, "This subject wishes to pass this reward to someone else."

"Hmm? Transfer them to others? "

"Yes, your servant wishes to pass on the Emperor's grace to Miss Zhong." Cui Xuezhen said, "Although this subject's daughter and Miss Zhong have not known each other for long, they could still be considered to be of the same mind. This time, Miss Zhong had suffered a lot in the mountains. She had nearly lost her life under the claws of a bear and was almost slandered as a spy. Although Miss Zhong's group did not win the competition, they had to suffer for their lack of merit, no? This subject's daughter humbly requests that the Emperor grant her wish. "
