Chapter 25 Forgiveness
The word Mu Chenglan said to relieve the siege was naturally Mu Chenghuang was in a hurry before, and she recited two lines of poetry from the poems she had written in a mess, so as not to make it difficult for Mu Chengxin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's just a matter of effort. Mu Chenghuang disagreed.
"The Five Emperor Sisters have been studying more and more diligently recently, if it weren't for the pelican making trouble, this time the poems of the Five Emperor Sisters would be the second place. ”
Mu Chenghuang raised his head slightly: "How do you know that the poem on the right is mine?"
Mu Chenglan bowed her head, slightly embarrassed: "Concubine Xi wants the poem on the left to win the second place, so she knows that it must be the Fourth Emperor Sister, and the Fourth Emperor Sister likes to borrow the verses of the ancients before. ”
Mu Chenghuang let out an "oh", his voice dragged on for a long time, but he heard Mu Chenglan's deeper and deeper voice: " Moreover, I heard that although the invigilation of this country is personally sorted out by Dr. Tao, the questions are all produced by several teaching doctors together, among which there is a teaching doctor who is good friends with Concubine Xi, and every time, the scope of some exam questions will be leaked, although it is not a leak, but which bibliography is referenced, or which book in the policy is better to cite, they will tell them one by one, so that the four emperor sisters can prepare early and review according to the scope of the exam, so they can win high scores again and again. ”
Mu Chenghuang was slightly surprised in her heart, first, although she knew that Concubine Xi was friendly with the people of Guozijian, she only thought that she was asking the doctor of Guozijian to supervise Mu Chengyao's homework more, but she didn't expect that the scope of the exam would be so blatantly divided, and second, Mu Chenghuang never thought that it was Mu Chenglan who told her the news, it turned out to be the most inconspicuous Mu Chenglan in the future, her eyes were full of doubts, and even with a little suspicion, although Mu Chenglan said thank you this time, but it was more like she wanted to tell herself the news.
As soon as Mu Chenglan raised her head, she met Mu Chenghuang's puzzled eyes, she quickly turned her gaze, her fingertips trembled slightly, and a mouthful of silver teeth seemed to be about to be crushed, and she said calmly: " The Fifth Emperor Sister naturally doubted the truth of the news, in fact, Cheng Lan also found it by accident, before the entrance examination last year, I went to Guangwentang to hand in the reading notes, and happened to meet Dr. Yuan in sorting out the exam questions, and according to the exam questions from the bookshelf picked out a number of books Yes, this book is very rare, before the doctor and the teaching assistant did not recommend us to read, but last year's examination in the policy topic, is to quote one of the sentences, not long after the examination, I saw the palace maid Ruyi next to the four emperor sisters to go to the country to return the book, although it is wrapped in silk cloth, but after Ruyi entered the Guangwen Hall, the original "Lingnan Mountains and Rivers Atlas" vacant position, it was filled, this examination, I paid special attention again, and found that Dr. Yuan earlier began to pick books when sorting out the exam questions. ”
Mu Chenghuang knew before that Mu Chenglan's mind was much more sensitive than other princesses, and what she said was not unreasonable, but it was inevitable that some personal subjective judgments were in it.
"What are you trying to say when you tell me this?" Mu Chenghuang doesn't like to go around in circles.
Mu Chenglan rubbed her fingers nervously, her palms were full of sweat, she had never done such a thing, but this time, for the sake of her mother, she had to do it.
"Cheng Lan's status is low, and she never thought of exposing the Four Emperor Sisters, but this time the Four Emperor Sisters and the Three Emperor Sisters are good friends, every time Concubine Xi Niangniang asks Dr. Yuan for a book, the Four Emperor Sisters will give a part of it to the Three Emperor Sisters, I have repeatedly taken the rankings, all of them are just below the Three Emperor Sisters, and every time they are only a little bit worse, I only hope that this time it will no longer be at the bottom, my father once said that if my ranking can be improved a little, he will mention my mother as a daughter, the Fifth Emperor Sister does not know, now my mother is just a royal wife, compared to the female officials of the Shang Palace Bureau, they always think of ways to deduct their mother's things, mother's illness, also because of the delay in the use of medicine, it has been delayed again and again. ”
In fact, Mu Chenghuang didn't remember that his father had promised this sentence, even if it was a promise, I was afraid that it was a casual mention a long time ago, but the situation of Mu Chenglan and her mother, she knew, she was actually very uncomfortable in her heart, she was also a princess, but there was always a difference between cloud and mud, although she was not favored, but she was also the princess of Yongtai who was the third grade, Mu Chenglan was twelve years old this year, only two years younger than herself, but now, she didn't have any titles, even the ninth princess who was only five years old was the princess of Dehui.
"But even if my father made a promise to mention your mother as a maid, then what?" Mu Chenghuang frowned and said, "The head in the palace will still become inflammatory, if you are just worried about your mother's body, Wen Zhi next to me is from the Tai Hospital, I will ask her to find a way to contact the eunuch palace maid who worked with her in the past to see if she can get some of the medicine your mother needs." ”
"Fifth Emperor Sister is really not ready to help me?"
Mu Chenghuang gritted her teeth, she knew what Mu Chenglan meant, it was nothing more than to let herself expose Mu Chengxin and invalidate Mu Chengxin's results, so naturally Mu Chenglan would be able to highlight a little, but what was the point of doing this, if it was not favored by the emperor and the favor of the queen mother, it was useless to just rank a country invigilator. What's more, she has no evidence, how to expose Mu Chengxin, not only will the bamboo basket be empty at that time, but she will also put herself in.
Mu Chenghuang was very embarrassed, and reluctantly spit out a sentence from between his teeth: "Chenglan, you also know my situation, I am also very embarrassed, after the death of my mother, how can my life be good, if you want to fight for your mother, you don't need to use this kind of risky method that harms others and benefits yourself, you have other ways, don't you?"
Mu Chenglan's face was already full of tears, her emaciated shoulders shrugged one after another, Mu Chenghuang took the handkerchief and handed it over, but Mu Chenglan gently moved it away.
"Since the Fifth Emperor Sister refuses to help, there is no need to say any more, Cheng Lan and her mother are blessed, maybe the destiny is like this. ”
Mu Chenghuang still wants to persuade a few words, but she knows Mu Chenglan's temperament, her fate is ill-fated, and she is inevitably sentimental, but I am afraid that if she persuades others, it will remind people of more sad things.
Mu Chenglan wiped away her tears, her crying gradually became quieter, and her eyes were full of disappointment when she looked at Mu Chenghuang, but there seemed to be a little hope in her eyes.
"It's better to ...... like this. Mu Chenghuang said these words, Mu Chenglan's eyes suddenly lit up, her body leaned forward involuntarily, and Mu Chenghuang lowered her tone: "Shen Yu's wife's illness, I asked Wen Zhi to go and see it first, so as not to be ignored and aggravate the condition." ”
It was also a good intention, besides, my mother needed someone who knew medical skills to see the situation, Mu Chenglan choked in her throat, and spit out lightly: "Okay." ”
Wen Zhi returned to the palace with Mu Chenglan, and Mu Chenghuang asked Baojuan: "Is Prince Su still painting with his father in the palace?"
Mu Chenghuang is also a little selfish, if the imperial doctor in the palace does not move, if it is convenient, see if he can ask Prince Su for a favor, although he has only met this imperial uncle twice, but Mu Chenghuang deeply feels that this imperial uncle is also approachable, although what he says is not so good, but if you think about it carefully, in fact, most of them are also concerned.
"No," Baojuan said, "I heard in the morning that the emperor knew that the assassins were related to Liuhe Mountain, and he summoned many ministers to discuss matters in the previous dynasty. ”
After Baojuan finished speaking, he suddenly glanced around, saw that there was no one, and lowered his voice and said: "I heard that the son of the Lin family has lived in Prince Su's mansion in recent days, and has a close relationship with the prince, the princess said that the eldest son of the Lin family and the prince have been friends for many years, the prince is forty out of twenty, and he has not yet married, and the son of the Lin family has repeatedly refused to marry the Shen family, which is not ......." ”
"What are you thinking? Uncle Huang is concerned about the country and the people, how can you allow this little woman to speculate at will?" Mu Chenghuang's tone was quite blameful, but his eyes were lifting.
Baojuan muttered and said: "But it's not the slaves and maids who say that they have broken sleeves, this palace, oh no, people in the capital are talking about it." ”
"You still say!" Mu Chenghuang said sharply, thinking left and right, and suddenly lowered his body, only a fist away from Baojuan, and whispered, "It turns out that you are so suspicious, and so am I." ”
Baojuan was stunned, didn't the fifth princess still look indignant?
Mu Chenghuang stretched out his arm and said lazily, "One, he is a battlefield general, heroic, brave and strategic, and the other is a pink-faced scholar, a boy and a girl, with a jade face and affection, but it is quite a match." ”
"Princess....... Baojuan didn't believe his ears.
"Cough, I haven't finished writing this "Year of the Bamboo Secretary" after reading it, come here, grind the ink. ”
Guozijian's examination period will soon come, Mu Chenghuang got up early in the morning, Wen Zhi specially prepared a bowl of barley and red date soup for Mu Chenghuang, wishing her a good start.
In fact, Mu Chenghuang is not unlearned, but he is really indifferent to reading, and he is still a little interested in poetry.
Wenzhi's craftsmanship has made great progress, under the teaching of Mu Chenghuang, this barley was soaked overnight in advance, and the red dates were carefully picked out of the core, and then the barley was boiled with a small spoon and then the barley was spread into the pot, boiled carefully, stewed slowly, and the barley porridge boiled out was fragrant and glutinous and soft, and the entrance was fragrant.
Mu Chenghuang is not the earliest one to arrive, the examination room is the school on weekdays, but the teaching assistant was sent to invigilate the examination before and after, a total of twenty-four cases in the examination room, when Mu Chenghuang arrived, Mu Chengyao was already sitting on the pier and looking at the pages, and specialized arithmetic, calligraphy to train specialized arithmetic talents and calligraphy talents, out of the cultivation of royal nobles, the examination of Guozixue has been involved in various subjects, according to the order of the examination is divided into strategy, poetry, etiquette, and Ming characters.
Poetry and Ming character Mu Mu Chenghuang is not afraid, since childhood, she has followed the ears and eyes of the concubine, learning words and learning poetry, how much she has a learning foundation, this strategy is what she is most worried about, the line of writing, but also compared to emotion, this first door is the one she is not good at, somewhat unconfident.
"The Fourth Emperor Sister arrived so early. Mu Chenghuang bowed, but Mu Chengyao didn't seem to see her at all, just lowered his head, Mu Chenghuang didn't want to be bored, so he sat down by the window, but saw that Mu Chengyao, who was sitting in the first row, was a little shaky, and suddenly stretched his legs and fainted.
