Chapter 304: The concubine made a bet with the emperor
Yingyun smeared back to the room, and not surprisingly, the emperor changed into a stone blue dark pattern dragon clothes, supported the case with his hands, and flipped through the scrolls by candlelight.
Li Yu was on the side, and when he saw Yingyun coming in, he slapped slightly, and said, "The slave asks the queen mother for peace." ”
The emperor raised the corner of his eyes and saw that she was dressed as a man, and he didn't guess that she must have been out for the rest of the day.
"Coming back?" The emperor looked down at the book and asked lightly.
Yingyun walked over and glanced at Li Yu, and Li Yu retreated with interest.
The emperor saw that she was smiling strangely, put aside the scroll, and said, "What is new when you go out today?" ”
"Your Majesty, you are really clever, take a look at the concubine, and you will know that there is something wrong with the concubine," Yingyun patted for a while, leaned on his side, and said: "The matter of the concubine is related to the emperor's Kaienke." ”
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked for a long time: "Tell me about it." ”
Ying Yun said quietly: "Today, the concubine met someone in the teahouse, and he said that there is gossip that he can reveal this year's Enke's test questions to the concubine in advance. ”
The emperor said disapprerovingly: "The queen must have met a liar, right?" Taking advantage of the actions of the imperial court, small people take the opportunity to make money, and this kind of thing is not uncommon. ”
Ying Yun said: "But the concubine looks, he doesn't look like a liar." Your Majesty, you haven't thought about whether there will be court officials involved? There have been cases of fraud in the field in all dynasties, and the tricks are also endless. ”
The emperor said confidently: "The triennial imperial examination may have the possibility of local officials leaking the question. But this time, I am in charge, the test questions are all from me, and the invigilator is also hand-picked by me, so there is no possibility of fraud. "Three K
Yingyun said uninterestingly: "If the emperor doesn't see it with his own eyes, he must not believe in his concubines." In this way, the concubine made a bet with the emperor, if the concubine could say the exam questions before the exam, even if the concubine won, what about it? ”
The emperor said, "Okay, I bet with the queen." ”
Ying Yun finalized the matter with him, and got up to leave, but the emperor grabbed her wrist and asked, "Where are you going to go in the middle of the night?" ”
Yingyun said: "Since the concubine wants to make a bet with the emperor, the concubine naturally wants to avoid suspicion." Your Majesty, you are the one who made the question, if the concubine is too close to you, in case the concubine says it, the emperor, you still think that the concubine is spied out. ”
The emperor shook his head with a smile and sighed, "You are so careful! ”
Ying Yun said with a relaxed face: "Okay, let's temporarily separate in the past two days, you sleep with yours, and the concubines sleep with the concubines, so that even if the emperor talks in his dreams, the concubines can't hear it." ”
The emperor smiled helplessly, but let her go.
Enke's day is set at the end of the month, the provincial officials come to the exam, and the Jiangning area is even more lively, the streets are crowded, meet acquaintances, and from time to time come to a sentence also, but the book flavor is strong.
Inevitably suspicious, Yingyun and Yu Guiren stopped going out these days, and only made an appointment with Yu Guiren to go out together two days before the exam.
There is only one road in the horn alley behind the Gongyuan, and at the end of the narrow road, it is the place where the man surnamed Li temporarily lives.
The silver has been stored in the pawn shop, and the man surnamed Li gave the test questions to Yingyun as promised, and told her that after today, he will not live in Horn Hutong, and only when Enke is gone, he will go to the gate of the Gongyuan to wait for the final payment.
