"It can be said that, apart from those officials with real talent and substance, at least ninety percent of the officials would not approve of the subsequent changes. For now, it is only the entrance to the yan that requires evaluation; the rules for performance evaluation have not yet been changed."
Chu Heng naturally knows the difficulty within. Previously, he lacked confidence, but things are different now.
Since Emperor Xuanming’s psychological suggestion was removed, he developed a rebellious mindset. In the past, the more bad things Deng Jieyu said about Chu Heng, the less Emperor Xuanming believed them. Consequently, his fondness and trust for Chu Heng have increased, after all, the things Chu Heng has done for Emperor Xuanming over the years perfectly align with his intentions.
"Yunhuai understands, thank you, Third Uncle, for the reminder." In truth, Chu Yunhuai trusts Chu Heng, after all, the skills of his Third Uncle are unmatched. Originating from wealthy families who are not officials, and now in the capital, he’s a figure that many officials dare not offend. In how many years has he strived to beco a Second Rank official in the imperial court, a feat that goes beyond re ability.
Third Uncle is willing to inform him in advance, a token of his affection for the younger generation. Yet, as a junior, he cannot act recklessly. At least in this matter, it cannot be disclosed, after all, his Third Uncle ntioned that this reform has yet to begin in court, and no one knows when it will be decided upon. However, he can still prepare ahead of ti.
Actually, regardless of the circumstances, reading more books and learning more is always beneficial. Even if it’s not useful now, it will be in the future.
"You all must remain vigilant and prioritize the imperial examination. After all, if you don’t pass the imperial examination, getting into these yan will be difficult." Chu Cai added earnestly.
Chu Fu: "...Father, as you were talking." Initially, he was thinking of quickly finding what he liked and excelled at, lest it becos too late. Turns out he overthought it, as he doesn’t even have the title of scholar yet. Not to ntion the imperial examination later, there’s more to co!
Chu Yunhuai nodded steadily, not worrying about choosing a subject to study; he simply focused on studying diligently.
Dinner lasted until it was completely dark.
Chu Cai took the family back ho.
Chu Yunhuai would go to school to study with Chu Cai the next day, so he followed them to the Chu Family’s Second House.
The following morning.
Chu Heng just sat up from bed, preparing to dress and head to the yan.
Ye Muyu heard the noise, followed by opening her eyes and looking at him, then sat up.
"Why did you wake up so early? Was it because I was too loud and disturbed you?"
"No, I’m getting up to have breakfast with you." Ye Muyu quickly changed her clothes, instructed Su i to bring in water for face washing, and personally helped Chu Heng dress and tie his belt.
Breakfast was also ordered, and Su i would handle it.
Chu Heng lowered his head, looking at Ye Muyu’s profile, and her calm, composed eyes. There was a different feeling in his heart being dressed by her, and he couldn’t help but plant a kiss on her hair.
"Why did you suddenly decide to help dress?" Chu Heng indeed found it strange. He understood that given Ye Muyu’s upbringing, these rules were rare; everyone was independent, which explained why Ye Muyu never had the habit of getting up early to help him dress.
He had been reluctant for her to get up too early, so he had never thought of it.
Seeing Ye Muyu’s change in habit now, the unease in his heart was imaginable.
"I just feel that compared to sleeping, helping you tie your belt personally is a very intimate and blissful thing. I don’t want to miss it anymore."
