Mrs. Cui was also a talented woman who was famous in the capital back then, and her talent was no worse than some of the great Confucians in the capital, and her ability was also good, otherwise Princess Shangde would not have invited her to preside over the management of the academy.

And because she takes care of the academy, Mrs. Cui is also very concerned about the topics and articles of each imperial examination. The eldest princess is confident that she has a certain judgment on the quality of articles and poems.

"It's very high." Mrs. Cui said, "I don't know why my vision is so broad, and I see problems very profoundly, and I often hit the nail on the head and have unique insights." Every time I read her articles, I can make people shine and feel refreshed. When the masters read her articles, they often applauded. ”

With that said, she didn't say anything else.

She only states the facts, and other things are not for her to interject.

The eldest princess of Shangde listened to Mrs. Cui's words and nodded.

She frowned, her fingers tapping regularly on the armrest, her gaze out of focus.

Mrs. Cui, who was familiar with her, knew that when the eldest princess of Shangde was unable to make a decision on some major matters, she would unconsciously make such a small move.

She sat aside, even breathing lightly, for fear of affecting the eldest princess of Shangde.

After a while, the eldest princess of Shangde stood up: "I'll go to the palace." ”

Although it is a good way to find someone to go to the government office and ask for the test paper to be posted, there are some things that will leave traces after being done.

Once someone makes a fuss about this matter, saying that she is a princess of a country, does not abide by her duties, and interferes in the imperial examination, no matter how reasonable her request is, the consequences will be very serious.

It is men who rule the world, and both the emperor and the princes and ministers are men. Usually they are in their own positions, and the contradictions are deep. But as soon as a woman reaches into the realm of their domination, they will tear this alien to pieces.

Unless this woman is very powerful and can directly control their life and death.

How much Empress Shengyao did back then, half of the emperor's ability to sit on the throne can be said to be due to Empress Shengyao. But in the end, she still couldn't do many things, from her own sitting on the throne to a woman's inheritance.

Now that the eldest princess of Shangde asked people to make trouble in the imperial examination, whether she was reasonable or not, it violated the interests of men, and they would attack them en masse. The big hat of "princess in politics" will be buckled on her head.

Besides, what if the list is released? Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, who can say that Zhao Ruxi's article must be stronger than the top six? The prefectural test is based on the prefectural order or the preference of the capital governor. He decided that whoever is the first, then who is the first, this is the rule of the county examination. Even the emperor can't say anything about it.

And the other candidates, even if they think Zhao Ruxi's articles and poems are good, will not admit it, and go to slap Lord Yin and the top six in the face.

The capital mansion Yin dared to do this, thinking that he had already thought about this issue thoroughly.

In the first game, he did not suppress Zhao Ruxi and gave her the first place; Second and second place, seventh place in the third game, and finally Zhao Ruxi's ranking can also be guaranteed in the top five. In the eyes of the emperor and all the courtiers, this has given her the face of the eldest princess Shangde, Mr. Deadwood, and Zhiwei layman. A woman, no matter how powerful she is, cannot be pressed on a man's head, this is a matter of principle.

The capital mansion Yin has given face, if she goes to make trouble, it will be unreasonable.

That's right, but this is a loss, and the eldest princess of Shangde can't swallow it.

She can't do anything else, but she can still do it when she goes to the palace to give this capital mansion Yin some eye medicine.

She walked out of the hall and was about to go down the stairs when she saw a few people hurriedly come in, led by Zhao Ruxi.

"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." When Zhao Ruxi saw the eldest princess of Shangde, she quickly stopped and saluted.

"Why are you here?" The eldest princess of Shangde wondered.

Just now, Mama Yin also conveyed Zhao Ruxi's words, saying that she would come to thank her again after the list. Why did you see Zhao Ruxi after a while?

Zhao Ruxi smiled bitterly: "After Mama Yin left, I found out what my mother told her, so I hurried over." ”

Mama Ruan is the internal manager of the Suiping Bo Mansion, and she can climb to this position among the maids, not only because she is shrewd and capable, but also because she has the ability to judge the situation and slap the horse.

Zhao Ruxi has changed from a second-room concubine to a large-scale concubine, and from an excluded foreigner to the actual speaker of Suiping Bofu, Ruan Mama sees it in her eyes. The key object of her flattery naturally changed from the old lady and the Zhu family to Zhao Ruxi.

It's just that Zhao Ruxi is usually too busy, going out early and returning late, and after returning home, she eats and sleeps, and Mama Ruan has never been able to find a suitable opportunity to go to Zhao Ruxi to brush up her good feelings.

What Zhu said in front of Mama Yin, although it was for Zhao Ruxi to come out, Mama Ruan still felt that Zhao Ruxi had to know about this matter.

Zhao Ruxi analyzed the things in the court for the old lady and the Zhu family, although the Zhu family would not tell their subordinates, but sometimes they would inadvertently mention it when they spoke, saying that Zhao Ruxi's understanding of the court was a little stronger than that of many men.

Now that she has the opportunity, as soon as Mama Ruan sends Mama Yin to the carriage on the front foot, she asks the little maid to tell Zhao Ruxi everything that Zhu said to Mama Yin.

Zhao Ruxi heard it badly, so he hurried to Beining.

The eldest princess of Shangde had no choice but to turn around and let Zhao Ruxi sit down in the hall.

Mrs. Cui was originally going to go home behind the eldest princess of Shangde, and she also came back and sat down at this time.

The eldest princess of Shangde gave up the tea and waited quietly for Zhao Ruxi to speak.

"Your Royal Highness, my mother doesn't understand the outside world, and she is dedicated to protecting me, and she always thinks that I am smarter than everyone in the world, so she said such things to Mama Yin. Please also ask Your Highness to forgive her for the sake of being a mother. Zhao Ruxi stood up and saluted solemnly.

"Your mother is right, this palace didn't blame her in the slightest, but thanked her for reminding her. You don't have to be nervous, sit down. The eldest princess raised her hand.

Mama Yin stepped forward to help Zhao Ruxi up, and sent her to the seat to sit down.

"Even so, my mother's words will certainly make His Highness embarrassed. The imperial examination is a major event in the imperial court, and once the princess intervenes, whether it is reasonable or not, she will inevitably be attacked. How can we trap His Highness in injustice for our own selfishness? ”

"Moreover, there is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. Which article is the best, Lord Fu Yin is determined by his own preferences, how can he be said to be wrong? is to post it, as long as the level of the article is not too far apart, everyone can't rate it as good or bad. If the ranking is set, it cannot be changed. If His Highness intervenes in this matter, it will inevitably make people say that it is unreasonable. ”
