The jade concubine vomited so much that she even spit out the sour water.

"Let you take medicine, what are you throwing up?" Look at the filth all over the ground. things, Emperor Yuanqing is getting more and more upset, how can he be so squeamish? He shouted: "Grandpa Lu, let her take medicine!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Gong Lu grabbed the medicine bowl that Concubine Yu was about to overturn and poured it into her mouth.

Concubine Yu just wanted to open the medicine bowl, but Gonggong Lu moved flexibly, and only spilled a little, and accurately aimed at Concubine Yu's mouth: "Niangniang, if you don't drink medicine, the emperor is angry!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Yu stiffened and didn't dare to move.

The potion flowed down her slightly open mouth, and she swallowed it involuntarily, sour and disgusting, as if the filth that had been rotting for years in the stinky gutter. things, poured into her mouth one after another, but she didn't dare not drink, so she could only swallow it hard.

The time for a bowl of medicine seemed to be a year, and Concubine Yu was forced to drink it all, so Gonggong Lu took the bowl.

"Your Majesty, the Jade Concubine has finished drinking." Gonggong Lu hurriedly reported to Emperor Yuanqing.

"Just drink it, it doesn't hurt now, right?" Emperor Yuanqing looked at the jade concubine meaningfully.

With a heartbeat, Concubine Yu couldn't care about the nausea in her stomach, so she clutched her chest and hurriedly said, "No, it doesn't hurt...... Concubines...... Thank you for your concern...... Vomit-" She hurriedly covered her mouth, if she accidentally spit it out, what if the emperor asked her to drink another bowl?

Xia Jinse was extremely happy in his heart, and his face was very concerned: "Concubine Yu, the medicine is bitter, just drink the medicine." In the future, if you still have abdominal pain, take the medicine according to this recipe, and you will be fine. ”

Concubine Yu shuddered, still eating? It's good if she's not sick to death.

In front of Emperor Yuanqing, she could only nod her head and didn't dare to say a word.

Princess Yuyan hid far away, for fear of being affected by this stench, and she was also angry. Damn, not only did he not clean up Xia Jinse, but he caused his mother to drink such a disgusting thing, what a mistake!

She won't let Xia Jinse go!

In a hurry, she ran away with the palace maid first.

Since Concubine Yu is fine, Emperor Yuanqing is also 'relieved', and took a deep look at her, Emperor Yuanqing said: "Concubine Yu, I just said, Jinse's medical skills are very good, if you are uncomfortable in the future, I will let her come to see you." ”

After speaking, he snorted and said to Xia Jinse: "Girl, come with me." ”

Father-in-law Lu smiled and said, "Miss Xia, please." ”

Being able to leave with Emperor Yuanqing, Xia Jinse would not stay with Concubine Yu, and when she ate Ganquan Palace with Chaiyun, she only felt comfortable.

"Girl, are you comfortable now?" Emperor Yuanqing looked at her with his hands in his hands and walked slowly.

"Your Majesty, do you see it all?" Xia Jinse laughed embarrassedly.

Emperor Yuanqing was stunned, and said with a straight face: "Are you blind?" I've seen a lot of things in the harem, and I have to act in a play every once in a while, which is really annoying. ”

Originally, he still felt that Concubine Yu was empathetic, although she was usually arrogant and domineering, but at least she was obedient in front of him. This time it was played on his head, and he was unhappy!

Punish with Xia Jinse's hand, and let it

Concubine Yu understands that everything can't be too much.

"The emperor is wise, so naturally he can't hide anything from the emperor." Xia Jinse blinked, a little curious: "But listening to what the emperor said, are there many concubines in the harem?" ”

This Emperor Yuanqing really hadn't counted, he pinched his chin and glanced at Gonggong Lu, who immediately understood.

"The harem is dominated by the queen's mother, and then the jade concubine, Concubine Zhen, Concubine Ning, Concubine Wan, and eight Jieyu, twenty-four talents, Baolin, Cainu, a total of more than fifty, many emperors have not seen it." Father-in-law Lu slipped out and said it, and the door was clear.

But the most important one, he didn't say, because he didn't dare to say it.

Xia Jinse listened to it, there were nearly a hundred, almost three palaces and six courtyards, seventy-two concubines!

With so many women, did the emperor suffer it alone?

Looking at Xia Jinse's strange eyes, Emperor Yuanqing was a little unnatural: "Hey, girl, what do you think?" There are many concubines in my harem, but that's not what I want, it's all the queen mother......"

Hey, why did he explain it to Xia Jinse?

Deep down, he seemed to know something, but he actually didn't want that woman to misunderstand. But Concubine Zhen is not here, why did he explain so much, she wouldn't believe it anyway.

A feeling of powerlessness came up, and Emperor Yuanqing became irritable again, and couldn't help but speed up his steps forward.

Father-in-law Lu hurriedly followed, Xia Jinse could only follow, the emperor didn't let her go, so she had to follow?

……

The examination was finally over, and the examiner Lan Beichen ordered the paper to be sealed, and ordered someone to copy the answers to avoid seeing the candidate's handwriting. Then he and several deputy examiners immediately read the papers, and the whole process lasted for three whole days, eating, drinking, and sleeping in the tribute courtyard, and the guards were tight, and no one left.

Until today, the marking was finally over, and the examiners looked at it and nodded their heads again and again.

"The candidates this time are much better than the previous year, and there are several articles that are good."

Someone nodded, stroked his long beard and said, "Yes, although there are not many particularly top-notch articles, the overall situation is a lot better, and it can be regarded as progress." It seems that Guozijian has worked hard, very well. ”

All the exam papers were concentrated in front of Lan Beichen, and he personally took them, and while sending someone to release the list, he entered the palace to check it for Emperor Yuanqing.

When Emperor Yuanqing had just returned to the imperial study, several ministers were already waiting.

Xia Jinse saw that he couldn't go in, so he could only stay outside, and heard that Lan Beichen was also here, to see if he could wait for him.

"Your Majesty, this year's examination is over, and a total of one hundred and thirty-eight students have been admitted, and here are the examination papers for admitting candidates."

Emperor Yuanqing suddenly came to the spirit and wanted to see the article of the first name of Huiyuan.

In the imperial study, Lan Beichen and the two deputy examiners, Zuo Xiang Xia Yanxiu and Zuo Donghan, who is also a cabinet scholar and a secretary of the ministry, waited for a while, Emperor Yuanqing looked at the list while flipping through the exam papers, his face gradually brightened, and he kept nodding.

"The first place will be Yuan Liang Ce, well, I have heard his name, it seems to be ......"

"It's the son of Liang Yuanzhao, the squire of the Ministry of Works." A minister said.

Emperor Yuanqing nodded: "Yes, it is Liang Yuanzhao's son, he has always been known as a talented man, and he is also the Xie Yuan of the last session!" This time it's still the same

One, if you get Huiyuan, it is also worthy of the name! ”

Then look down, the names on the list were swept one by one, and Emperor Yuanqing naturally paid attention to the top three first.

"Second place, Lu Xiaoyi, third place Xia Jinlong...... Hey, why have I never heard the name of this Xia Jinlong? ”

But anyone who can enter the top 30 is basically the best in the township examination, and everyone has some impressions, but this third place Xia Jinlong is not only unfamiliar to Emperor Yuanqing, but also unknown to several other ministers.

Zuo Donghan, the deputy examiner's secretary, said: "Your Majesty, this Xia Jinlong still has something to do with Lord Zuo Xiang." ”

Xia Yanxiu had to stand up and say: "Your Majesty, Xia Jinlong is the nephew of Weichen and the eldest son of the third brother of the minister. ”

"Xia Jinlong...... He didn't seem to be in the last township test list, right? ”

"Absolutely nothing, I remember. I didn't ...... in the last exam."

Xia Yanxiu's heart beat when he heard this, and he hurriedly explained: "That's the case, my nephew is okay with his studies, but he is easily nervous, so that he lacks a little bit of on-the-spot performance." This time, I may have calmed down, so I played well. ”

Emperor Yuanqing laughed when he heard this: "This is also normal, play well, of course the article is done well, this is called if God helps!" Since he is Xia Xiang's nephew, he should have taken the third place in the exam, which shows that Xia Xiang usually has teachings. ”

"Don't dare, the emperor praised it."

In the imperial study, the monarchs and ministers were discussing, and at the gate of the Gongyuan, there were also a bunch of people surrounded by black pressing.

As soon as the student officer who released the list appeared with a group of errand officers, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, looking at the list posted on the wall, everyone was eager to come over to see if the first place was themselves.

This is the moment that determines the fate of countless candidates, as long as they are on the list, they will soar into the sky from now on, the dragon among people. But if you fail to make the list, years of hard work will turn into running water, and all your efforts will be in vain, and you will be looked down upon.

The first list was posted.

Names were written on them, and everyone craned their necks and stared at them.

The first place is the ranking at the back, but it is still expected, as long as it is on the list, it can be regarded as a standout.

"I'm in!"

An ecstatic cheer sounded, followed by a succession of voices, all of which were on the list.

The second and third lists were posted one by one, and the atmosphere at the scene reached a climax more and more.

Countless people were ecstatic, dancing with their hands, and a middle-aged man over forty years old was even so excited that he went crazy on the spot, fainted directly after laughing a few times, and was carried away. There are also some rich people who are dressed luxuriously, with fat heads and big ears, who also laugh and tremble all over their bodies, and let people go back to report the good news.

"Ahahahaha, this son really hit! Ben Gongzi is really a genius! ”

"I've got it too!"

"I'll just say, this time I can win, it is worthy of being rich and able to make ......" Before he finished speaking, he quickly shut up, laughed three more times, and was proudly surrounded by a group of people.

There is also a group of scholars who are dressed shabby, obviously children of poor families, but they don't see their names for a long time, until all the lists are finished, still

Nothing was found, so I was disheartened, like a mourner.

Xia Jinlong was surrounded by a group of rich people, and he complimented him very much: "Brother Xia is really amazing, he actually won the third place!" When the palace exam comes, maybe there is still a chance to win the top prize! ”

"It's easy to say, if you can be on the list or something, my son is also content." Xia Jinlong laughed.

Finally high school, still third, he was quite satisfied.

Sure enough, it costs money, a full three million taels! If he had done this earlier, I am afraid that he would be an official now.

On the opposite side, a group of people who didn't pass the exam stared at the list, and they couldn't believe their eyes.

It's just that others have won, why did Xia Jinlong, who was named Sun Shan in three consecutive exams, actually win the third place this time! He usually spends all his time drinking and idle, and the Qingzhu Academy he studied in is just a dilapidated place, how can he be in it and others not?

"Xia Jinlong, you cheat!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd burst out into a shout.

This voice immediately ignited everything, and there were constantly voices shouting about cheating, buying exam questions, five thousand taels and so on. At this time, the crowd was furious and made a fuss, and everyone was shocked.

Among the people on the list, although many of them are ranked low, they know how to get in. Especially Xia Jinlong and others, they were even more panicked and denied it one after another. But where are the people who didn't get in, there are problems just exposed, they didn't get in, and others don't want to be admitted.

There was a fight at the gate of the Gongyuan, and countless servants couldn't stop it, and there was a mess, and countless people quarreled in the blink of an eye. The two sides pushed and shoved, and then used force, some picked up stones and smashed people, some took off their shoes and smashed them, and some directly punched and kicked each other, making a mess.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the scholar knew that the matter was serious, and shouted: "Come into the palace and report to the emperor!" ”

……

Emperor Yuanqing had just finished reading the list and was preparing for the palace test, and the ministers were relieved and whispered.

At this moment, someone outside the imperial study shouted loudly and rushed in: "Emperor, Emperor!" The big thing is not good, there is a commotion at the gate of the Gongyuan, saying that someone is cheating! ”

When Xia Yanxiu heard this, his face changed greatly.
