Chapter 157: Don't worry
"Why does Lord Li say that there is a problem with the regulations of the scientific examination, and why should the time of the scientific examination be delayed!"
Li Jing smiled slightly, looked around and said deliberately: "Seventh princess, it's better to invite the lower officials into the princess's mansion to discuss this kind of court matter, after all, there are many people outside, and it is easy to cause trouble." β
You also know that getting into trouble out there is going to be trouble! Meng Qiqi was so angry that her lungs hurt, but it was even more impossible for her to let Li Jing enter the princess's mansion.
She sneered: "Lord Li is just talking, this princess wants to see what flowers you can say!" β
I saw Li Jing confidently take out a letter from his sleeve and hand over a stack of musicals.
"Seventh Princess, this letter is a problem found by the lower officials, and the chapter is drafted by Prime Minister Jiang, the Prime Minister feels that the regulations of the scientific examination are too naΓ―ve, and many details are taken into account, and the rhetoric is a little intense, I hope the Seventh Princess will not blame."
"If the seventh princess doesn't want to discuss the specific account books of the scientific examination with the lower officials, then this recital may soon appear in the court."
"You threaten me!"
Meng Qiqi carefully read the letter and the chapter in his hand, and his face changed.
I didn't expect to be really found by Li Jing as a loophole, she has not been an official in the court, let alone participated in the imperial examination, she has empty ideas and no theories, these problems do really exist in people, so she is irrefutable.
It seems that Li Jing is grasping this point, and he has to let himself accept that he is disturbed every day.
What is his purpose, thinking that in this way he can entangle himself openly?
Seeing that Meng Qiqi's face was getting worse and worse, Li Jing felt happy for the first time in a long time, and he couldn't help but thank Yuan Yiyi at this moment.
If she hadn't reminded herself, maybe after discovering the problem, she would have seriously prepared a sorted out charter and sent it over, but then the seventh princess would not only not necessarily appreciate it, but might also suspect him for having ulterior motives and blame him for being nosy.
Now, the seventh princess has to discuss with herself, and she doesn't dare to be so cold in front of herself, but she has to be controlled by herself!
"How about it, the seventh princess can think about it? Do you want the lower officials to hand this fold up? β
Just when Li Jing was full of pride and the victory was in his hands, a voice suddenly interjected.
"What do the seven princesses think, when will it be the turn of others!"
Seeing the visitor, Meng Qiqi swept away the gloom on his face and smiled.
"Yan Fei, you're back!"
"It's the minister's fault to worry the Seventh Princess!"
Looking at Meng Qiqi's slightly red eyes, Yan Fei's heart ached.
He really wanted to come forward and hug her to comfort her and reassure her, but unfortunately he couldn't do too much in front of everyone now, and he could only suppress his emotions.
Giving Meng Qiqi a look to signal her to rest assured, Yan Fei pointed the finger at Li Jing.
"Lord Li, it's not good to stay in the military department, do you want to trespass on the princess's mansion?"
"Yan Houye, don't spew blood! Now the lower officials are looking for the seventh princess to discuss something, if the seventh princess is unwilling to cooperate, then don't blame the lower officials for acting according to the rules! β
Meng Qiqi's face changed, remembering the many loopholes written in the letter, she subconsciously wanted to speak, but as soon as she thought of working with Li Jing, she felt disgusted.
Cuizhi stood aside and hurriedly told Yan Fei what had happened in the past few days.
Only then did he realize that so many things had happened when he had only been away from Beijing for two days.
Now Li Jing is taking Prime Minister Jiang Cheng as a raft and wants to force Meng Qiqi to compromise, which is really bold!
How could Yan Fei allow someone to make Meng Qiqi uncomfortable, even if there was a problem with the imperial examination, it would not be Li Jing's turn to interject!
I only heard Yan Fei say mercilessly: "Lord Li's mouth is quite big, the one standing in front of you is the Seventh Princess, not an ordinary official, just because you are disrespectful to the Seventh Princess, the Marquis can arrest you back to Shuntian Mansion for questioning!" β
"And although you do things on behalf of Prime Minister Jiang, it doesn't mean that your recital is equal to Prime Minister Jiang's recital, if you have any questions in the future, you can raise it with this Hou Ye, and tell this Hou Ye the same as with the Seventh Princess."
"Yan Houye, why do you say that, and what right do you have to represent the Seventh Princess!"
Li Jing's pride now turned into jealousy.
He was unwilling, why did Yan Fei let his many efforts be in vain in just a few words, let him fall from an equal position in the discussion with the Seventh Princess, and become a subordinate who could only pass on proposals!
"Of course it was given by this princess, Lord Li, you and I are different from men and women, no matter what the reason, it is impossible to discuss it together every day, this princess advises you to stop this thought as soon as possible!"
As soon as the seventh princess's voice fell, Li Jing's face flashed gray.
And Yan Fei pulled him aside, grabbed him by the collar and warned: "Now this marquis still respectfully calls you Lord Li, it is to give Prime Minister Jiang face, but he doesn't want you to be embarrassed in front of the people." β
"But this Hou Ye warned you for the last time, stay away from the Seventh Princess, if you let this Hou Ye find out that you dare to entangle the Seventh Princess, what awaits you will definitely not be a good fruit, understand!"
"Yan Fei! Do you think you can cover the sky with one hand in the capital, now the emperor favors you, but you are just a martial artist, you wait, I will let the emperor and the seventh princess see my ability sooner or later! Knowing that I am the best and most worthy of her! β
After saying what was in his heart, Li Jing hurriedly left in the princess's mansion without looking back.
When Yan Fei warned him just now, there was murderous aura in his eyes, Li Jing had reason to believe that if he didn't represent the prime minister now, I was afraid that he would die at some point!
Maybe it's really as Yan Fei said, he has endured himself for a long time?
It seems that he must find a way to get the heart of the seventh princess as soon as possible in his absence, although this time he failed to achieve the result he wanted, but at least it is much stronger than before.
As long as he has the chance to contact the Seventh Princess again, he will definitely get her even if he does it by any means!
Yan Fei helped drive Li Jing away, and after helping Meng Qiqi break the siege, the onlookers gradually dispersed.
The two went back to the princess's mansion, and as soon as they sat down, Meng Qiqi carefully looked at Yan Fei.
"Why didn't you tell me when you went to investigate the place where the second brother had an accident, do you know how worried I am?"
"At that time, I just received the news that I made a new discovery, so I hurried there, and I didn't have time to tell you that I was wrong, which made you worry."
"Master Yan Hou, the princess is really afraid that something will happen to you this time, and she was very worried when she ordered the slave maid this morning."
"Cuizhi, don't talk nonsense!" Meng Qiqi's face turned red, and he didn't dare to look at Yan Fei for a while.
Yan Fei smiled, "What's this, I didn't come back well." β
"I also brought back good news this time!"
"Really? Yan Fei, do you have news of your second brother? Meng Qiqi said excitedly.
"We haven't found the specific location of the second prince yet, but we found half a jade pendant, it seems that someone took it for it, the person described by the pawnshop owner and the second prince's body and age are more consistent, I think he should be fine."
