Chapter 791: Cheating in the Imperial Examination
Murong Hui turned her head to look at Mama Tang and asked her what she meant by what she said just now.
"Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much, maybe the old slave is thinking about it."
Mama Tang hurriedly shook her head, the major matter of the imperial examination was not something she could discuss, so she simply didn't mention it first.
Who knew that the next morning, Murong Hui felt uneasy, and it seemed that something bad would happen.
She got up early and paced back and forth in the room, still unable to suppress the uneasiness in her heart.
After lunch, she still felt uneasy, and she couldn't suppress the panic in her heart, so she asked Mama Huang and Qingyue to inquire about the palace test.
"Your Highness, don't worry, this palace test is not over yet."
Mama Huang comforted her, and beckoned Qingyue to go out with her.
The Jieyi Palace is far away from the Chaoyang Hall of the palace test, so the two of them were delayed for a lot of hours just on the road.
When they arrived at the Chaoyang Palace, they found something unusual, and there were many guards around it, and there was even a group of brocade guards mixed in with it.
This is definitely not the scale of security during the palace exam three years ago, both of them were stunned, but no one dared to step forward to ask.
Except for those guards, there are only two of them left in the vicinity, and even if they ask, there will be no result.
But just go back like this, if Murong Hui asked, they didn't know what to say, so the two simply stood aside and waited quietly to see the result.
After waiting for an hour, Mama Huang felt that her legs were numb, she moved her legs and feet, and whispered, "I have to go and sit over there for a while, you keep an eye on it first, and if there is anything, you can call me again." ”
Qingyue was still a little dissatisfied, but thinking that Mama Huang was not young, she nodded.
Before Mama Huang could leave, she suddenly saw a group of guards walking out of the Chaoyang Palace, and soon after, she saw a group of people in Confucian shirts also walking out of it.
"Let's see, if there is any Zhao Gongzi."
Mama Huang muttered in a low voice, and the surrounding guards immediately looked sideways.
Qingyue glanced at Mama Huang reproachfully, but still stretched her neck to look in that direction, just to see Zhao Yu.
"What's going on? Didn't Zhao Gongzi personally say that he would definitely participate in this palace examination? ”
However, the two waited until the people were gone, and they never saw Zhao Yu.
Qingyue couldn't hold her breath, ran over with her skirt, grabbed a kind-faced guard, and asked cautiously: "I bother to ask, the eldest son of the Zhao scholar's family, can he come to the palace to test today?" ”
"It's here, but it's still inside."
The guard didn't take the money she offered, but replied in a low voice.
"Then why hasn't it come out yet, this is different from the process of every temple exam!"
Mama Huang looked confused and couldn't help muttering.
"Idle people leave quickly, don't talk about it again!"
At this time, a leading guard came over and scolded in a low voice.
Qing Yue was still a little angry, but she was dragged by Mama Huang and dragged aside.
Mama Huang knew the guard, and knew that people also recognized them as the people around Murong Hui, otherwise they would never be so polite.
The two waited for a while before they saw a group of people coming out of the Chaoyang Palace, and Zhao Yu walked in front.
The two of them cheered up and stared at these people, only to find that there were still many people around watching the excitement.
Among them, there are many palace maids and eunuchs in various palaces, and Murong Ning even came in person to watch the excitement on the stone lions.
At this time, I heard a proclamation from the front
Sounds:
Champion: Tang Zhi
Eye: Chu Huaining
Tanhua: Zhao Yu
……
After Mama Huang and Qingyue heard that Zhao Yu had won the third place, they almost jumped up on the spot.
Next, they were naturally not in the mood to look any further, and hurriedly ran back to the Jieyi Palace to report the news.
Murong Ning saw that the two of them had run away, his brows were furrowed, and there was a little smile in his eyes, and he said in his heart that Sister Hui was going to get what she wanted.
"Your Highness, today's imperial examination is really full of twists and turns, but fortunately, the dust has settled now."
At this time, the little eunuch who had gone to inquire ran back and muttered in a low voice.
"What's wrong?"
Murong Ning also saw something wrong just now, but his brother was not happy to come over today, and he was busy playing ball, so he couldn't enter the Chaoyang Hall alone, he could only watch the excitement outside for a while.
"I heard that among the students who were admitted to the imperial examination, there was a cheating, and they were reported in the Chaoyang Palace."
The little eunuch approached Murong Ning and whispered.
"Who?"
Murong Ning was a little curious, and asked suspiciously.
"Zhao Yu, but the emperor personally tested him, Zhao Yu answered like a stream, that is, the emperor was amazed, saying that he didn't have to cheat at all if he had such talent, so the matter was revealed, but in private, the emperor will continue to investigate."
The little eunuch looked up at the group of students, and his expression was a little confused.
He is the most clever eunuch beside Murong Ning, and even he can think that Zhao Yu, who has been a companion in the palace for several years, has a thorough knowledge and top-notch character and appearance, and it is impossible for him to cheat.
Why would anyone deliberately frame him?
The little eunuch couldn't figure it out, but Murong Ning figured it out, this was mostly the result of some people's own opinions, and he must have done it without the consent of his family.
Therefore, there are many loopholes, and the emperor doesn't believe it at all, once the results are found out in the future, this guy with a bad heart will be difficult to enter the emperor's eyes in the future.
"That Tang Ke, the thirteenth in the second grade, seems to be very good at Keju, give him a post tomorrow and let him accompany me and my eldest brother to play Keju."
Murong Ning looked at Tang Ke, who was slender, and felt that he looked at the edge of his eyes, so he ordered with a smile.
"The little one obeys."
The little eunuch nodded hurriedly, and then suddenly remembered that Tang Ke's wife was one of Princess Linghui's companions, and His Royal Highness should be taboo.
The little eunuch meant that he felt that the relationship between Murong Hui and Murong An was not good.
Murong Ning was sandwiched between the two of them, and he often encountered embarrassing things, so it was better to have less contact with people on both sides in the future.
"It's okay, you just go and make an appointment."
Murong Ning didn't care, he jumped off the stone lion and walked straight towards his Yunyi Palace, completely ignoring the attitudes of the people around him.
The little eunuch sighed, and hurriedly followed Murong Ning, secretly complaining in his heart, if Murong An knew about this, he was afraid that he would be angry again.
Almost at about the same time, Mama Huang and Qingyue finally ran back to the Jieyi Palace, and when they saw Murong Hui standing at the door, Qingyue immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, Zhao Gongzi has gone to Tanhua in high school." ”
"Great, why did you go so long?"
The big stone in Murong Hui's heart finally fell to the ground, and he asked suspiciously when he beckoned the two of them into the courtyard.
Qingyue wanted to speak, but was stopped by Mama Huang, Mama Huang stepped forward and said, "I watched it for a while while when I saw the excitement, but it made His Highness worried." ”
Murong Hui nodded, but she was not angry, and said with a smile: "You guys go and rest, our palace this month."
The monthly interest is doubled. ”
This episode couldn't affect Murong Hui's mood at all, so after she finished explaining to Mama Huang, she went straight to the study, thinking about what to give and make a congratulatory gift to Zhao Yu.
"Why didn't you tell Your Highness just now?"
Qingyue was a little puzzled, and only after seeing Murong Hui leave, did she ask in a low voice.
"Your Highness loves a lot, so don't tell her."
Mama Huang always felt that something must have happened just now, and it was not that simple.
Early the next morning, the news of cheating in the imperial examination spread and soon spread to the palace.
"Is that what you didn't want to tell me yesterday?"
Murong Hui sighed, the last thing she wanted to see in her heart had finally happened.
Some people don't want Zhao Yu to come out, so they want to suppress him as much as possible.
Since ancient times, literati have been contemptuous, and if this matter is spread so vaguely, Zhao Yu will definitely be hindered in the clear stream in the future.
"They are really too much, and it is rumored that the emperor will deliberately help Zhao Yu to clear his name for the relationship between His Royal Highness and Zhao Yu, so that he can get the ranking of Tanhua, and Zhao Gongzi is afraid that he will be excluded in the future."
At this time, Qingyue walked in, with a somewhat helpless look in her expression.
Now it's just a rumor, if Murong Hui really marries Zhao Yu in the future, then this rumor will not be confirmed, and I am afraid that it will have an impact on Zhao Yu and the prestige of the emperor.
"This move is really ruthless, it is clearly aimed at His Highness, who would deliberately target His Highness like this?"
When Qing Yan heard this, she almost cried out angrily, this person clearly wanted to break the marriage between Murong Hui and Zhao Yu.
"I don't deserve such a lot of trouble from others, they want to use this matter to slander the emperor and queen."
Murong Hui shook her head, she didn't expect that the water in the court was so deep, but the imperial examination involved so much.
"Accompany me to Fengyi Palace."
Murong Hui really couldn't sit still now, so she hurriedly got up and said to Mama Tang.
Mama Tang helped Murong Hui change her clothes, and then got up and rushed towards Fengyi Palace.
As soon as she walked to the gate of Fengyi Palace, she saw a grandmother, who was holding the little princess in the sun, the little princess was full of smiles, just looking at her from a distance, Murong Hui felt much better.
Murong Hui soothed her emotions and got up and walked into Fengyi Palace.
"Hui'er asked her aunt to say goodbye, and this time because of Hui'er's matter, she caused trouble for her aunt and sister-in-law."
Seeing Lin Yingxue sitting on the chaise longue, Murong Hui said softly.
"Hurry up, this matter is just an excuse for Zhao Yu to come to us for trouble, if you say that you are causing trouble, we are also causing you trouble."
Lin Yingxue was having a headache about this matter, and seeing Murong Hui feeling so guilty, she hated the person who spread rumors and fiddled with right and wrong in her heart.
"Hui'er has an idea, maybe it solves today's urgent need."
Murong Hui thought for a moment, then said thoughtfully.
"What's the method?"
Lin Yingxue was a little surprised and asked with interest.
In the past, Hui'er and Zhao Yu often exchanged books in the library, so Zhao Yu had read the books in the palace, and his knowledge was naturally enough. It's better to hand it over to him, like others who think that ordinary Jinshi can't complete the task, if he does it, the rumors will be self-defeating. ”
Murong Hui could only bet this time that Zhao Yu had really read all the books he borrowed, otherwise he would really not be able to cope with such a position.
