Chapter 142: Determination to increase the imperial examination
Could it be that this minister is embarrassed?
Since the fever subsided, the reputation of the seventh princess in the capital has gradually increased, and the reputation of the former flying and domineering has also improved a lot.
Even though there are many episodes in it, the people really believe that the seventh princess is no longer the one she used to be, and even some princes and nobles even asked the emperor for the lord.
If Yan Fei hadn't expressed his thoughts to the emperor early on, the emperor might really consider those candidates, but with Yan Fei's choice, and Meng Qiqi himself likes it, it is not surprising that he will not consider others.
When Meng Qiqi came to the imperial study, the emperor was thinking about whether to mention the matter of someone still being the master, but after thinking about it, his daughter was still young, and he and the queen were reluctant, so he didn't mention it.
Noticing that his father seemed to be thinking about something, Meng Qiqi asked curiously, "What's wrong?" Father seems to be in trouble? ”
"It's nothing, it's all a small matter, what's the matter with Qiqi coming to find his father?"
"It's still about the addition of the imperial examination, and my daughter wanted to ask her father how she thought about it, but she was delayed by the fever, so she specially wanted to ask her father how he decided."
"This fever has made my father think about a lot of things, and the officials of the imperial court should indeed move, but I haven't thought about how to formulate the exam questions and which examiners to use."
Meng Qiqi didn't worry at all that the emperor didn't think about it, didn't she come, just discuss it together.
The discussion in the palace was in full swing, and a mansion on the edge of the inner city suddenly received a letter from the Duchess of the Kingdom.
The porter handed the post to the housekeeper beside the old lady and handed it over.
When the old lady saw it, it turned out to be the Duchess of Weiguo who invited Yuan Yiyi to worship the Buddha!
She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, Yuan Yiyi was just an orphan girl, even if her son was the champion and made her the champion lady, when did she get the blue eyes of the Duchess of the Kingdom by virtue of her identity?
Is it really that when I worship the Buddha, I often meet each other, so I know each other?
But in any case, since it was the invitation of the Duchess of the Kingdom, there was no reason not to let people go.
Although Yuan Yiyi seems to be grounded, the unsealing is just a matter of the old lady's words.
It just so happened that the Li family was affected by Aunt Ling's affairs, and lost a lot of little maids, and the old lady had to take over the housekeeper's affairs again, and she was very busy every day, if Yuan Yiyi could repent, it would not be too much to let her out.
With the old lady's approval, Yuan Yiyi was immediately released and asked her to go over and talk back.
"Old lady, daughter-in-law knows that she is wrong, she has thought about it for a while, and she is jealous of Aunt Ling's favor, so she has done a lot of wrong things, I ask the old lady to forgive, and my daughter-in-law really knows that she is wrong."
"That's it, you grew up in the Li family since you were a child, I don't know your character, now is when Jing'er is at a low point, you should help him, but don't make trouble for him again."
"Yes, daughter-in-law, remember."
"Now that the fever has passed, you should go out and walk around, help Jing'er leave from the military department as soon as possible, it just so happens that the Duchess of Guo invited you to worship the Buddha, how to talk and do things, I don't need to teach you anymore, right?"
"Mother rest assured, the daughter-in-law will do her best to let Brother Jing escape from the sea of suffering and return to the household as soon as possible."
With Yuan Yiyi's assurance, the old lady felt much more relieved.
Looking at her thin and delicate appearance now, it is inevitable that she will feel a little distressed, after all, she has grown up by her side since she was a child, and she always has a little feeling, so she immediately ordered her subordinates to buy two new clothes and new faces for Mrs. to dress up well.
Yuan Yiyi obediently and sensibly collected the jewelry and clothes and went back to the main courtyard.
As soon as she sat on the bed, the gentleness on her face disappeared in an instant, and only her heart was full of unwillingness.
I really didn't expect that she spent so much effort and so much thought, and in the end, she still failed to trip Meng Qiqi, but made her reputation increase day by day!
The daughter of the Duchess of Guo is useless, but I didn't expect that her old lady is useless, everything is arranged and she still can't trip Meng Qiqi, and in the end, she has to continue to think of a way by herself!
However, these lessons also told me that it was impossible to trip Meng Qiqi head-on, there were too many people standing behind her, no matter what method she used, she had to bypass these people in order to deal with Meng Qiqi, otherwise no matter how much trouble she took, it would only be an itch in her boots, and it would not hurt her at all.
Now it's more appropriate for me to be the driving force behind the scenes, and find a way to stabilize the chess piece of the Duchess first.
On the day of worshipping the Buddha together, the Duchess and Yuan Yiyi chatted for an afternoon that Meng Qiqi was completely lucky, if it wasn't for the good development of drugs by the hospital, they would definitely succeed!
She also specially thanked Yuan Yiyi, and felt that this feeling of pulling other ladies to bully others was particularly good, and she believed that she would succeed if she did it again.
Yuan Yiyi was not so optimistic, from one thing revealed by the Duchess of Guo, she thought of another person who could deal with Meng Qiqi - Jiang Ningning.
In the morning, Meng Qiqi discussed with the emperor the plan to increase the imperial examination, and the emperor was also determined to weaken the power of the prime minister.
Meng Qiqi was happy to see this happen, but Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, who learned the news, had a crooked nose, and the emperor was clearly telling him that he didn't trust him!
Jiang Ningning also had trouble sleeping and eating, it was the first time she saw her father so decadent, and after returning from the palace, her father locked herself in the study and saw no one.
If she hadn't asked the housekeeper about what had happened, she wouldn't have known that her father's rights would be divided in half!
Meng Qiqi is to blame for all this!
It was she who instigated the emperor to increase the imperial examination, and now the emperor still allows her to go out of the palace to build a mansion, and then she will act more conveniently, and her father will not be constrained by her everywhere!
How good would it be if Meng Qiqi could disappear......
This thought can no longer disappear from Jiang Ningning's mind, in addition to hatred, there is also a trace of madness in her eyes, as long as Meng Qiqi disappears, maybe Yan Fei can change her mind, but how can she make her disappear?
Just as he was thinking about it, a maid suddenly came in at the door.
"Miss, someone has sent you a letter outside the door."
"Letter, show it to me."
Jiang Ningning opened the letter a little strangely, and the contents of it made her eyes widen and she was very surprised.
"Who sent this!"
The maid was frightened by the young lady's excited appearance, and shook her head: "The slave maid doesn't know, when the slave maid just went out, a girl with a veil handed this to the slave maid, saying that it is very important to the young lady, and the young lady will be very happy when she reads the letter, so the slave and the maid sent it over." ”
After glancing at this maid coldly, Jiang Ningning slowly clenched the letter in her hand, and slowly became firm in her heart, she must think about getting rid of Meng Qiqi in the long run.
