The movement outside the door distracted the emperor, and he asked Gonggong Zhang with some displeasure.

"What's going on out there?"

"Your Majesty, it was Concubine Chu who came to give the emperor lotus seed soup, maybe she spilled the soup because she heard the emperor get angry."

The emperor waved his hand at him, and wanted him to tell Chu Mei to let her go back, but unexpectedly, his hand suddenly stopped.

"Let her in."

"Yes."

Gonggong Zhang nodded hurriedly, waved the floating dust, and asked the guards guarding the door to let the concubine in.

Chu Mei tidied up her clothes and settled down, and then walked in with a smile.

"Oh, Your Majesty, why did you suddenly get angry? Be careful not to get angry with your body. ”

"These ministers recommended a paper named Mu Chunqiu to me, you can take a look."

The emperor looked as usual, sighed, and handed Mu Chunqiu's test paper in his hand to Chu Mei.

Chu Mei obediently took the scroll, and Yu Guang skipped and knelt on the ground, not daring to gasp for encouragement, gritting her teeth in her heart.

This goddamn idiot must have messed things up! Otherwise, it would be impossible for the emperor to be so atmospheric.

Chu Mei simply glanced at the contents of the scroll twice, and looked at the emperor in embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, the concubines really don't know the principles of governing the country, but this volume doesn't seem to be a problem."

"It's really no problem, but this whole article is talking about some grandiose truths, obscure, just your little stinky ink, it's too tender to fiddle in front of me, how can you bully me to read less, don't you understand these rules and regulations?"

Under the emperor's fierce reprimand, the chief examiner appeared, and the other people did not dare to refute at all, so they could only kneel on the ground in a trembling manner.

"I dare to take such stinky ink and say that it is a masterpiece, you can take a look at this one, this is the paper brought by the examiner."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chu Mei hurriedly finished the paper and pretended to read it carefully.

can delay for a while, as long as the emperor doesn't make trouble, even if she reads all the test papers on this case, she is willing.

For this reason, she looked at it word by word, although she didn't quite understand the meaning of the article, but every word revealed a sense of aura, magnificent, but not fundamental, the characters and examples are all from the folk, more of the smell of fireworks in the world, rather than high-minded talk, it is really a rare masterpiece.

Almost finished, Chu Mei glared at Chen Mianli with slight annoyance.

If it weren't for Chen Mianli's nails, she wouldn't have promoted him and made him the examiner.

I thought that the old man of the examiner would not turn over any tricks, but I didn't expect that this time it was really a mistake.

Chu Mei glanced at the emperor, he was talking to those people.

Taking advantage of this gap, she hurriedly and carefully tore open a slit, looked at the faint Qin character on the scroll, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't matter who it is, as long as it's not Mu Ziyan's.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has finished reading it, it is indeed a great masterpiece, and as the champion of this exam, it is well deserved."

"Well, the concubine is smart and can see the subtleties of this article."

The emperor smiled, but when he looked at a few people again, there was a complete chill in his eyes.

"But this time, who put the son of the Zhao family in these three test papers?"

"The Zhao family?"

Chu Mei only felt her heart tremble, and glared at Chen Mianli angrily, should this guy ......

"It's Chen Mian Encouragement! The examiner can testify! ”

"Nope! No, Your Majesty, this test paper is indeed well written, so Weichen ......"

The emperor sneered, and casually smashed Zhao Xu's test paper on Chen Mianli's face.

"Why do I want to give the Zhao family a hereditary five-grade civil official, you don't know the reason why you are here to give me a blind ranking, I think you are tired of being alive!"

"Your Majesty! The emperor spared his life, Wechen didn't know the reason, Wechen had just taken office, and no one had told Wechen about the relationship between the emperor and the Zhao family! ”

Looking at Chen Mianli, who was pecking rice and kowtowing on the ground like a chicken, he reluctantly twisted his head to the side and closed his eyes.

Damn, how did she fall for such an idiot!

"I can spare you from dying, but you have to tell me honestly, who instructed you to change this Mu Chunqiu's test paper, and secretly stuffed Zhao Xu's paper."

The emperor's tone was very cold, and the Yin Owl's eyes stared directly at Chen Mianli, which almost made him suffocate.

Chen Mian felt that he could barely catch a breath, and repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, ignoring the contempt of his colleagues around him and Chu Mei's warning eyes, where did he dare to hide the slightest, and immediately said everything that was beneficial to him.

"Back to the emperor, this matter was told by Concubine Chu Guifei to do it, she told me that I must let Mu Chunqiu be promoted, no matter what method is used, I must promote him, and I also gave the minister a lot of silver as a reward, and promised that after the matter is completed, I will definitely help me say a few kind words in front of the emperor, and the minister is confused."

"You talk nonsense! What does this matter have to do with me! Why did you wronged a good person for no reason! ”

Chu Mei only felt that her scalp was numb for a while, her apricot eyes were wide open, and her slender jade hand trembled and pointed at Chen Mianli.

"Your Majesty, it's not like this, the concubines will not collude with the court officials, it really has nothing to do with the concubines!"

"Since it has nothing to do with you, then why do you tear open the scroll to see who this person's surname is?"

The emperor raised the scroll in his hand, and his questioning eyes oppressed Chu Mei's breath for a while, and he looked pitifully into his eyes and begged for mercy.

"The Emperor...... Your Majesty, the concubine really didn't mean it, the concubine just wanted to help Miss Mu's family, so she made this decision, it was really just out of pity and sympathy. ”

"Presumptuous! The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, especially this kind of national affairs! Do you think that my courtiers are all chosen in this way? ”

However, this time the emperor did not let her go as usual, and only told her two sentences to settle the matter over.

This time it was really Long Yan who was furious, ignored Chu Mei's begging for mercy, waved his sleeves to the desk, raised his hand, and circled the champion this time with a brush.

Chu Mei watched as the scroll that had just been torn open by her in a corner was drawn by the emperor with a vermilion circle.

"Concubine Chu Mei, deceived the upper and lower levels, and from now on she will think about it behind closed doors for a month! Examiner Chen encouraged to help others do evil, and from now on, he will be stripped of his official position, and he will never be an official! ”

Chen Mianli looked at the emperor and Chu Mei in a daze, and wanted to ask the concubine for mercy, but Chu Mei had already thanked him first, and yelled at the guards and dragged him out.

"Nope! Concubine Niangniang! I'm doing this for you, and you're going to help me! Help me! ”
