Chapter 441: The harem is gloomy
Just when Li Hui and Sun Qingxue were chatting about these things in a homely manner, a person dressed as a palace maid quietly sneaked into Concubine De's Deyi Palace, and Concubine Liu Xiangru's side Mama Liu quietly led people in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Niangniang, Xiao Wu is here and brought a letter from the master." After retiring from the subordinates, Mama Liu led people into the inner room and saluted respectfully to the beauty lying on the soft couch.
"Okay, get up, what news did my dad let you bring?" Liu Xiangru frowned lightly and looked at the little palace maid in front of her.
"Miss, this is the master's letter, please take a look." The voice of the palace maid is not as gentle as that of ordinary people, but there is an indescribable coldness, and there is a feeling of crawling out of the pile of dead people.
Unwrapping the letter, Concubine De quickly browsed it and taught Mama Liu: "Mama, you must burn it clean, Xiao Wu, go back, be careful, don't let others find out." ā
"Yes, miss, you must be careful in the palace, the master said, our great cause can be accomplished, just around the corner." After that, the little palace maid pretended to be ordinary as when she came, and walked to the palace gate silently.
"Brother Guard, I am on the order of Concubine Xian Niangniang, and I went out of the palace to find ...... for Niangniang"
Sure enough, the guards did not suspect that with Concubine Xian's high-flying and domineering character, they would indeed order their palace maids to go out of the palace to buy things for her, and the palace maids had the waist card in Concubine Xian's palace, so they didn't care.
As everyone knows, it was because of these inadvertent details that something almost happened in the future.
At this time, in Deyi Palace, Mama Liu stood behind Concubine De, silent.
"Mama, you know, I don't blame me for this matter, if you want to blame the emperor." Concubine De's beautiful face was hideous and terrifying, and her eyes were full of resentment: "If it weren't for the emperor's lack of affection, I wouldn't have done this." ā
But soon, the hideous on her face was replaced by a smile: "What's wrong with me?" He didn't look at me, but that's no wonder I am, I'll definitely help my father. ā
Thinking about Liu Jingshan's words in the letter, Liu Xiangru was triumphant, his father had formed an alliance with the second prince of the Northern Underworld, and this time he would let Dongfang Yeyou go and never return, as for the palace, it would be their world in the future, and when he ascended the throne, she would be the only princess.
Who wouldn't dare not value her? When the time comes, Dongfang Luo will be their defeated subordinate, and she will definitely let him kneel at her feet and beg for mercy, giving him hope to be shattered again.
I believe that Daddy has already arranged it, but I just don't know if Wang Zhanglin, the object of this alliance, is reliable or not, but everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and we must work together at this time.
Liu Xiangru smiled slightly, fantasizing about a better life in the future, trampling the people she hated under her feet, especially Sun Qingxue, she was the emperor alone, if she hadn't done this, she would not have agreed to Liu Jingshan's rebellion.
will not help win over Wang Zhanglin, deal with the emperor, deal with the Sun family and the Li family, who Sun family is Sun Qingxue's mother's family, and the Li family is Li Hui's backing, and those who are related to these people will not let go this time, women are sometimes ruthless, and even men are ashamed of themselves.
Suddenly, Li Hui, who was talking to Sun Qingxue, felt a chill on her neck and had an ominous feeling, but she didn't know that in the harem, there were already people who regarded her as an enemy and would never die.
At this time, in the imperial study, Dongfang Luo finished dealing with the news from the border pass, and began to arrange this year's scientific examination, which was originally going to be suspended, but this time the war came too suddenly, and it was too late to issue an order, because students from all over the country had already rushed to the capital.
So he can only postpone the time, in order not to chill the hearts of the students in the world, the scientific examination is three days later, for this, he is also negligent in the harem, who knows that it is because of a momentary negligence, almost a big deal.
"I'll leave it to you this time! I asked someone from Hallym to help. Dongfang Luo is in a hurry, but the busier he is at this time, the more he can't go wrong.
Especially related to scientific research, so this time the task of the examiner was handed over to Prime Minister Sun Zhong, that is, his father-in-law, Sun Qingxue's father.
"The emperor can rest assured, the old minister will definitely live up to his mission." At this time, everyone in the court has their own things to be busy with, and it is not easy to draw out manpower.
"Well, I don't have to worry about your errands, it's just these days, I'm going to tire you."
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed, since coming out of the palace, Li Hui has always paid attention to Li Yubin and Zhao Haiyi's exams, fortunately, the Li family has already had the experience of taking the exam, and the meals and everything are prepared according to Li Hui's previous methods.
Zhao Haiyi is okay, after all, he is older and has participated once, but Li Yubin is a child who has the talent to read, so he can pass all the way through five levels and six generals until now, but he is not good in life, not as good as Li Yujin's self-care ability.
When he set off from home, Li Xiu kept explaining that Zhao Haiyi must take care of Li Yubin: "Okay, don't worry, daughter-in-law, this time I will definitely take a fame and earn you a life." ā
Zhao Haiyi has never worked so hard, he has been giggling before, but after having a wife and children, he understands that he has the responsibility and obligation to give them the best life, not by relying on the shadow of his ancestors, but by his own strength.
"Alright, let's go, pay attention to your body!" Niu, Li Qingshan and others all stood at the door to see each other off, full of hope and expectation.
With dreams in mind, the two embarked on a turning point in their lives.
It's just that the Li family's state of mind is very different from before, and they don't have the previous desire to want their son to become a Chan, but expect them to face every challenge calmly.
Three days was a torment for people outside, and when Li Yubin and Zhao Haiyi came out of the examination room, Li Hui got the news as soon as possible and brought people to Li's house.
After seeing that the two people were calm and full of confidence, I put my mind at ease, I had a plain idea before, but the reality is very cruel, natural selection of the fittest survives, you must work hard enough to be good enough to protect your family.
Just like now, the border is in crisis, the court is unstable, and if it doesn't work, it will be a river of blood, so the Li family is bound to come up with a person who can hold up the sky.
Of course, it would be better if the brothers supported each other, and they could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
On the other hand, as soon as the exam ended, Dongfang Luo ordered the people below to speed up and correct the test papers, after all, the situation this time is different, the situation on the battlefield is unpredictable, and the time for the scientific examination should not be delayed for too long, otherwise it will be harmful to deal with the battlefield.
No, the people of the Hanlin Academy and the people under Sun Zhong almost never slept to correct the test papers, and finally took them to Dongfang Luo for review.
After getting the test paper with good results, Dongfang Luo showed a rare smile, it seems that there are also good young people in this session, and it seems that they will be able to take on great responsibilities in the future.
This time the topic is very different from the previous style, in the past, the country and the people, the questions were generally mild, this time it is different, this time is for the war ahead, let each talk about their own views and opinions, as well as what they think is the best countermeasure.
Sure enough, it was difficult for a lot of people, and this temporary intention was the most to test the flexibility of the candidates, to see if they were pedantic scholars who didn't listen to things outside the window and only knew that they didn't pay attention to political affairs.
"Okay, arrange the palace exam as soon as possible, just three days later, you can rank these rankings, and you can announce the results!" Dongfang Luo nodded slightly.
However, there are a few people who have unique opinions and sharp views, and seem to have some understanding of the art of war.
The court needs such fresh blood, which is why he must open a scientific examination.
is very lucky, but it is also expected, Zhao Haiyi and Li Yubin are among them, especially Li Yubin, who is a small point, is actually higher than Zhao Haiyi's ranking.
He shocked everyone, at a young age, he actually ranked second, what kind of concept, this is an outstanding talent from all over the country, and he was compared to such a small point.
Especially after knowing that he was only sixteen years old, it was even more surprising. This is a genius that has not been encountered in a hundred years, and after inquiring, I found out that it was from Chengenbo Mansion.
This has to be reminiscent of the other two people in Chengenbo Mansion, Li Yujin and Li Yuqian, these two brothers are also high school scholars at a young age, and they have been promoted one after another.
"Huh? Do you know? This year's second place is a sixteen-year-old boy, and this time it was a blockbuster! "There is no shortage of people in the teahouse who like to talk about gossip.
"I've heard about it, it's said that as soon as the emperor list was posted, it shocked the whole capital, which has not been encountered for decades, except for Lin Tanhua three years ago, but this Li Yubin is even worse." Another man moved from the table next to him with his own tea.
"Also, this Li Yubin has prepared a lot of fancies, and wants to catch a son-in-law under the list, guess what?"
"What's wrong? I haven't heard of that, and I'm not as well-informed as you. ā
"As a result, the little boy was not happy at all, it is said that there are several families who want to forcibly snatch it back, but they kicked a hard nail, Li Yubin is not an ordinary person, he is the young master of Chengen Bofu, and his sister is the night princess, who is deeply liked by the prince, and even the emperor and queen are very satisfied with this night princess."
"You don't know the scene at that time, I was about to be dragged away, and a team of guards suddenly came over in the distance, directly showing the waist card of the Night King's Mansion, but it scared those people to the point of urine, I thought they were unlucky, who knew that there were a lot of people The Night Princess, so I won't pursue it."
"Listening to you say this, the princess is really a good person, she has no frame at all, unlike some people, who can't see us ordinary people in their eyes at all."
"Yes, this Chengenbo Mansion has been titled for so long, and he has never done anything to bully others, and he is usually very low-key, a rare good official!"
After a while, many people gathered in the teahouse, and the discussion about this examination was very intense, but it washed away the sorrow caused by the border war.
Those are all things that the big people in the government have to worry about, but the gossip of catching a son-in-law is something they are very happy to discuss.
For a while, Li Yubin, the second limelight, completely overshadowed the person who ranked first, and the person who won the first place was jealous in his heart, and hated Li Yubin, who had never met, and didn't mention it, because the palace test came.
In fact, every scientific examination is not only a cruel competition among students, but also a means of fighting openly and secretly in the harem, after all, there are not a few scholars in the harem, and the women in the harem still attach great importance to the scientific examination, especially the concubines who participate in the examination.
No, Concubine Shu is one of them, on weekdays, she is a gentle, non-contentious woman, and has always maintained her gentle and virtuous image, and the arrogant and domineering Concubine De and Concubine Xian are completely two extremes, but her smile, how uncomfortable to look at.
It always feels like she's snooping into your heart, anyway, it's Li Hui's intuition.
"How was this expedition? Are there any young people in the family who stand out? She asked the grandmother beside her softly and weakly.
Mama Wang looked at Concubine Shu's gentle appearance, her heart trembled, only she knew what a vicious heart this seemingly weak woman had, even if she followed her for many years, she still couldn't figure out Wang Yuzhu's thoughts.
"Hui Niangniang, the Wang family didn't pass the exam this time." After speaking, Mama Wang's legs were a little weak.
"Really? What a bunch of rubbish! There is an inexplicable coldness in the weak eyes, which makes people break out in a cold sweat.
"Niangniang, the old slave is wrong, please forgive Niangniang!" Mama Wang knelt down.
"Get up, it's not your fault, what about the others?"
"Hui Niangniang, the Situ family is mainly a business, none of the descendants are from this piece of material, no one participates at all, and the other two concubines are too, there is no outstanding."
"That's good, okay, it's nothing to do with you, go down!" Since no one surpassed her, Wang Yuzhu's mood was better.
Mama Wang had palpitations after leaving, and Miss was really getting more and more terrible.
Fortunately, she didn't say that the Li family had a genius, otherwise even if there was no competition with the Night Princess, this matter would not be good, and Concubine Shu's methods made people tremble.
Fengluan Palace, Sun Qingxue learned that the Li family's two grades were good, and she was in a good mood, and she also knew that at this moment, the final exam was being held in the Jinluan Palace, the palace exam.
The emperor personally asked the question, and the scholars who were lucky enough to see the face of the Son of Heaven were very nervous, and their expressions also fell in Dongfang Luo's eyes.
The content of each person's answer, the expression of the question, and the way in which it has been narrated are all the criteria for judging, especially the process of free answering, which is especially easy to see a person's question.
And what made Dongfang Luo very disappointed was the person who stood at the front and scored first in the exam.
His eyes kept squinting at the young man next to him, one moment fierce, the other contemptuous, these small movements made Dongfang Luo frown slightly.
Originally, this person's test paper impressed him very much, with unique views and thorough analysis, but this character, in the Jinluan Palace, actually didn't understand the convergence at all.
The next Q&A is no different from the previous ones, Dongfang Luo improvised questions, everyone has a chance to answer, and the first place answered well.
It's just that in the end, Dongfang Luo thought twice, this person can't be reused, his eyes are too dark, and he has psychological problems, such a person is a poisonous snake if he can't get it right.
In the end, the palace examination ended, and the announced rankings were a big surprise! (To be continued.) )
