Chapter 522: Cannon fodder minister disguised as a man 2
*
First she was inexplicably summoned by the emperor, and then she had to follow him for a private visit incognito. When Yun Wu returned to the Hanlin Academy, her steps were still a little pretentious.
She was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat when she first entered the palace. After all, she was disguised as a man, and if the emperor found out, the consequences would be disastrous.
This was the first time Yun Wu saw Xie Ling's true appearance. During the previous palace examination, she could only vaguely see her figure from a distance through the screen.
Yun Wu was about to pack up the books she hadn't finished copying when she suddenly saw a figure in front of her eyes.
"Yunwu, why did your Majesty come to you just now?"
Yun Wu heard a familiar voice and then raised her head to look.
Sure enough, it was Fu Chunan.
He also wore an official uniform and an official hat like her, but he was taller than her and looked more muscular, with a face like a crown jewel.
Fu Chunan got second place in the scientific examination and was appointed editor of the Hanlin Academy. He also served in the palace with her.
"Your Majesty asked me to follow you incognito for a private visit tomorrow..."
Yun Wu lowered her voice and said. She moved to the side calmly, slightly distancing herself from Fu Chunan so as not to get too close and he wouldn't notice anything.
She and Fu Chunan met during the palace examination. At that time, Fu Chunan was a young master from an aristocratic family and was well-known in the capital for his talent and learning.
At that time, everyone else thought that Fu Chunan was going to take the top spot, but they didn't expect that she, Cheng Yaojin, would be killed halfway.
"It would be great if you could go with us..."
Fu Chunan seemed to be relieved and looked at Yun Wu hesitantly.
The young man in front of him was particularly handsome and handsome. He was short in stature and looked very thin. Perhaps it was because his family was too poor and he had not had much to eat since he was a child.
The reason why Fu Chunan was glad that Yun Wu could also follow him to the private server.
It was because he was born in the Duke's palace, and someone in his family assigned his name to the team traveling with the emperor regardless of his wishes.
He was equivalent to taking a back door... Originally, Yun Wu, who was the top pick, was the first to receive such an opportunity.
Now that His Majesty Jinkou Yuyan had said that Yunwu would be accompanied by him for a private visit, Fu Chunan felt better.
Yun Wu packed up her four treasures of the study and turned around to see Fu Chunan still standing beside her.
She neatly packed her small cloth bag and hung it on her body. She raised her head and looked at Fu Chunan with a suspicious look on her face and said:
"Ahem...Brother Fu, do you have anything else important to discuss?"
"I……"
Fu Chunan looked a little hesitant. He lowered his eyes and looked at the handsome young man wearing an official hat in front of him. He suddenly thought about how his face was so fair...
Yun Wu blinked her shining eyes and raised her hand to hold her official hat.
Suddenly, he saw Fu Chunan take out the hand behind his back with a bit of trepidation, holding a bag of things.
"The private visit incognito... my family did something wrong. As the second best person, I passed you. You must accept these pastries..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. In fact, I don't care much..."
Yun Wu said softly that she was telling the truth, because she was already eye-catching enough by winning the top prize a few days ago, and now she just wants to live in peace.
As for the visit in private, I didn't even think about it. I didn't expect that I would still go with him.
In the end, Yun Wu accepted the pastries given by Fu Chunan, because this pastry shop was the hardest to buy in the capital, and it was not only expensive but also in short supply.
Yun Wu carried her small cloth bag on her back and a bag of cakes in one hand, and left the Hanlin Academy with brisk steps.
After she left, the little eunuch who was hiding aside returned to the imperial study room to report.

Yun Wu felt that she was lucky. In order to get rid of the fate of her biological parents who wanted to sell her to a brothel, she chose to travel across mountains and rivers to the capital.
At the risk of losing her head, she disguised herself as a man to take part in the scientific examination and won the first prize, and was then banned from writing in the Hanlin Academy.
Even her current residence was given by the emperor. It was a small mansion next to the palace. Although it was not big, it was close to the palace gate.
There were not many people waiting in the mansion. As soon as Yun Wu returned to her room, she declined the maid to come in to take care of her for bathing and dressing, and she closed the door tightly by herself.
The first step is to take off the official uniform, taking off the layers of clothes and corset, only then revealing Yun Wu's fair and delicate figure.
Only when she sat in the tub and was surrounded by warm water did Yun Wu completely relax.
In order to prevent anyone from discovering her identity as a woman disguised as a man, even the maids in the mansion were not allowed to come close to serve her.
When Yun Wu changed into her pajamas, she discovered that maybe she had been bound with the white cloth for too long during the day, which caused some pain and left some marks.
There was nothing she could do. Recently, some flesh had grown on that spot, so she could only think of tying it up a little loosely tomorrow.
Since she had to leave the palace for a private visit tomorrow, Yun Wu turned off the lights early and went to bed to sleep.
It was a quiet night, and I don't know how long it had passed. A person came into the small mansion of the new top scholar and editor of the Hanlin Academy.
Qiu Ci, the maid in charge of the mansion, didn't seem surprised. When the man walked in, he bowed respectfully.
"His Majesty."
"Has she fallen asleep?"
The stern man wearing a dark golden embroidered robe that almost blended into the night was the current emperor Xie Ling.
"This slave has lit the soothing incense. Your Excellency has already gone to sleep. He will gradually wake up in about four hours."
Qiu Ci knelt aside respectfully, and Xie Ling strode towards the wing. Soon he heard the sound of the door opening and closing.
The rest of the people in the mansion continued to do their own things with calm expressions, as if no one had been here just now.
The light in the wing was dim, and the moonlight filtering through the window was dim.
In Yun Wu's eyes, today was the young emperor she met for the first time, but he sat beside her bed when she was asleep.
The collar of Yun Wu's pajamas had opened at some point.
"Why don't you apply some ointment? You still don't know how to take care of yourself..."
Xie Ling's voice was clear and clear. He took out the ointment he had prepared from his sleeve and applied some ointment with his slender fingers.
Then he skillfully applied ointment to the area where the mark was left.
After slowly applying the ointment, Xie Ling carefully covered her pajamas.
His cold eyebrows were particularly beautiful, but now they were tainted with a somewhat dark and unclear meaning.
Xie Ling would never treat him badly. Since he helped her apply the medicine, he should naturally ask for something in return.
He leaned down and pressed his thin lips against hers. The constant chirping of cicadas outside the window obscured the dark scene inside the wing.
Xie Ling then slowly straightened up, his thin lips pursed tightly, still smelling like food.
His slender fingertips casually took out Yun Wu's long white cloth belt hidden under the pillow, which she usually used to tie her breasts and dress up as a man.
"Be good, I'll have someone deliver softer materials tomorrow..."
Xie Ling said softly, but did not put down the long white cloth in his hand.
His dark eyes were fixed on Yun Wu's sleeping face, and then he slowly brought the white cloth close to her face, and deeply smelled the faint fragrance remaining on it.
