23. The storm is surging
The drizzle continued.
Wan Qiyun was sitting in her own Yuzhai room, Xi'er was helping her find a book, but she didn't find it for a long time, and she was about to go into the inner room to return to Miss Yu in frustration. Zhao Ci came in, and Xi'er hurriedly shouted: "Hello Lord Zhao, my young lady is still resting!" β
"Can she fall asleep?" Zhao Ci raised his eyebrows.
Xi'er continued to shout loudly: "Lord Zhao has something to say to the slave maid!" Slave maid go to Miss Tongchuan! β
Her voice was so loud that the entire backyard of the General's Mansion was about to hear it. Wan Qiyun walked out of the inner room with one finger blocking his ears and said, "What does Lord Zhao have to tell me?" β
Xi'er saw Miss come out, and hurriedly said, "Miss, the "Legend of the Lie" I am looking for is not in our house. β
Zhao Ci didn't speak, and Xi'er continued: "I've turned it back and forth, I'm afraid that Miss is you mistaken?" β
"Maybe I'm mistaken." Wan Qiyun put down his finger and said, "If you can't find it, forget it." β
"There should be something in the master's study," Xi'er said, "if the slave maid goes there to look for it and says it's not right, she will find it." β
Wan Qiyun said with a smile: "On weekdays, I naturally let you find it slowly, but today Lord Zhao is here, I can't even go out of Yuzhai, let alone you." β
"It's okay, you can take this token and look for it." Zhao Ci took off the black card from his waist, and Zhao handed it to Xi'er in big red letters.
Xi'er took the token, and Zhao Ci continued: "Look for it well, if you can't find it, go to another study to find it slowly." β
"The Biography of the Lie" is not a big secret book, but it is a dry and boring historical family record, in which there are few interesting anecdotes, and most of them are names and geography. Wan Qiyun wants to read this book, but I don't know what to read through this book?
Xi'er ran away with a smoke.
"Meet Lord Zhao again." Wan Qiyun is not afraid of him.
"You're so good." Zhao Ci chuckled, "If you still want to read a book, aren't you afraid of finding something that shouldn't be searched in the house?" β
"Now that I am under house arrest by Lord Zhao in this Yuzhai restaurant, it is really boring, so I went to look for books to read." Wan Qiyun responded, "Since you have received the prince's command, you have to search for an hour, why are you in a hurry?" Even if you find out everything, it's all in the mind of Lord Zhao. β
Zhao Ci took out a piece of cloth from his arms, at first Wan Qiyun was still confused, as Zhao Ci spread the cloth more and more, and gradually could see that it was a kite, Wan Qiyun's face turned black, and she said: "What does Lord Zhao mean by this?" β
"Presumably Miss Wan is a little familiar with this kite, right?" Zhao Ci handed the unfolded kite cloth to Wan Qiyun and said, "You must know that the General's Mansion is not an iron barrel that is impermeable, and there are always some birds flying away from the General's Mansion like this kite." β
"Zhao Ci, what do you want?" Wan Qiyun told himself to be calm, but his hairs still stood on end.
If Zhao Ci knew... So the prince... Wan Qiyun couldn't help but scold himself for being stupid.
"I've always been kind-hearted, and I've released all the birds I caught." Zhao Ci saw that Wan Qiyun was really frightened, and hurriedly said, "Others are not necessarily. β
He said this strangely, as if he was teaching her to be secretive.
Wan Qiyun looked up at him and said, "Lord Zhao, what do you mean?" β
Outside the window, the rain drifted into the inner room of Youyuzhai, and the wind also blew straight in, Zhao Ci stepped forward and staggered over Wan Qiyun, closed the wide open window, looked back at Wan Qiyun, and said, "What is Miss Wan afraid of?" β
The palace people are also closing the doors and windows, and the queen takes the palace maid to the Qinzheng Palace, she is in a hurry, and her sideburns and phoenix hairpins are shaking.
This matter is secret, but it came from Sikong Mansion. Qian Luocai had the help of Da Sikong Shen Yue in the past, he was Shen Yue's protΓ©gΓ©, so he naturally informed Da Sikong of Chunyu's cheating.
Now Qian Luocai is under the instruction of Da Sikong, with three identical test papers, and follows the doctor Zhong Kui to start His Majesty.
"Your Majesty found that these test papers are exactly the same!" Qian Luocai knelt down and handed over the test paper.
Emperor Yongguang looked at Zhao Yanfang, who swept the dust in his hand slightly and nodded at Zhong Kui. Zhong Kui was a smart man, and hurriedly took the test paper in Qian Liucai's hand and presented it to the emperor's case. Three test papers stacked together, Emperor Yongguang flipped through them casually, but his eyes fell on Qian Luocai.
This bachelor was also once ranked in the gold department, and the palace test in front of the palace, and the high-spirited appearance is still vivid. The court is deceitful, the party is in great contention, and it has been too long in such days, the spring breeze was proud, and the flowers were seen in one day, but now it is a trend of attaching to the party and being a puppet. How many talents have been produced in the spring, how many hundred officials will be produced in the imperial court in the future, some are clear streams, some are moths, some are pillars, and some are traitors.
Such an empire, such a court, the impact of Chunyu cheating can be known widely.
But Qian Luocai dared to admonish, knowing that he couldn't face the saint directly, and dragged the admonitor to do the first. He is a smart man, but he is not a smart man.
When the queen walked to the door, she heard the emperor's questioning voice inside the door.
"If something so big happens, why don't you report it to the chief governor first?"
"Minister...... Minister......"
"The Queen Mother has arrived!" The eunuchs in front of the palace preached.
Qian Luo had a chance to breathe and think, and hurriedly knelt down to worship the queen first. The queen stepped on the threshold of the Qinzheng Palace and said, "Your Majesty has summoned concubines? β
Emperor Yongguang nodded and said, "Give this test paper to the empress." β
The test paper is the top test paper, in which the ink marks of the last word are still a little blurred, as if because the whole article is completed in one go, the person who writes it is done with a wave, resulting in a lack of pen power in the later stage and a little sloppy writing.
"Quick-witted, Wen Bing carved the dragon, it is really a good work!" After reading it, the queen couldn't help but admire.
Emperor Yongguang nodded and said, "This article is indeed outstanding, do you know who wrote this article?" β
The queen shook her head, and Emperor Yongguang said to Qian Luocai in the hall: "Qian Aiqing, who made this article?" β
"Back to Your Majesty, he is the son of the Hubu Shangshu, and the willow is made by the sea." Qian Luocai replied tremblingly.
"Willow is the sea? This man is quite talented. The queen praised.
Emperor Yongguang couldn't deny it, he stepped down from the chair, walked in front of Qian Luocai, and said, "Raise your head and look at me!" β
Qian Luocai hurriedly raised his head, and the emperor looked at him as if he were looking at a dead man.
"Pull it down, cut it." With a few fluttering words, Qian Luocai suddenly bowed his head and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty!" The minister's words are true, Your Majesty! β
"Is your words true, I don't want to know, I just want to know who taught you to say such things in front of me?" Emperor Yongguang didn't look at Qian Luocai, he tilted his head slightly, looked at the queen, and said word by word, "My country, it's not the turn of others to worry about me!" β
The queen hurriedly knelt down, and the grandmother and palace maid behind her also knelt down.
