"Don't speak in a weird tone. Tong Yingcai said a little helplessly. He was able to enter the palace back then, completely because of the recommendation of Chen Tangxiu's father, Chen Tangwu'er, the secretary of the Criminal Department of Zheng Erpin.
He has always regarded Chen Tangwu'er, who has the grace of knowing him, as a teacher, and learned from him the law, fatwa, and the quality of life. This also made himself, who didn't show up much, but he was familiar with Chen Tangxiu, he must have recognized his voice, so he was rude and amused......
"This kid. Tong Yingcai muttered to herself, and continued to roll call.
About five or six more people were called, and a feminine and arrogant voice suddenly sounded in the originally quiet courtyard—"Yo, why is no one calling me so lively." ”
"Who is this?"
"It looks like he's running for the election. ”
"Why didn't he change his clothes. ”
The courtyard suddenly exploded, and they all talked about the person who was coming in in a sedan chair.
"Ye Xinyun, come down. Tong Yingcai sat on the second floor and said without anger.
It turned out that this person who came in a sedan chair in a high-profile costume was Ye Xinyun, who had lived in the palace for 14 years.
As soon as the name came out, everyone stopped complaining about anything unfair. After all, they have all heard of Ye Xinyun's name - the emperor's teacher, the elder of the three dynasties in the north, and the only great-great-grandson of the Taishi Yelao.
As early as when the emperor ascended the throne, the Taishi sent Ye Xinyun into the palace and came as a quasi-concubine for the emperor. Who would dare to have such a style?
"Well, he's been elected securely. Someone said in frustration. After all, only 100 of these 300 people can pass the primary election in the end, and the competition is very cruel.
"What is the identity of others, you don't have to be greedy. Someone said sourly.
"It's all quiet!" Tong Yingcai said with a slight sullenness, "Ye Xinyun, come down, otherwise you will be expelled from the palace directly!"
As soon as Ye Xinyun heard this voice, he immediately knew the identity of the other party, after being in the palace for so many years, of course he knew that the other party was an iron-faced and selfless person who did what he said. Stretching out their jade hands unhappily at the moment, Lin Jide and Huande immediately put down the sedan chair and supported Ye Xinyun one left and one right.
Ye Xinyun arrogantly stepped on the lotus step, and walked in front of the five members of the Nangong clan at the front in front of everyone, as if they didn't exist, they stood there, looking up at the people in the pavilion, "Okay?"
Everyone couldn't help but gasp, and sighed in their hearts: Sure enough, the background is not bad, and they are so confident when they talk to the examiner.
Some people have already shrunk their necks - feeling that they have no hope of being selected.
Lin Huande also looked around at the person behind him proudly, and snorted with his nostrils up.
Tong Yingcai ignored him and said, "Now continue to roll ...... names."
Ye Xinyun looked around tastelessly, expecting this boring form to end soon - it was not that he was so confident because he knew that his identity would definitely pass the primary, but that he had the strength!
"Huaikou Yuanxiang will be the son, An Chu. I don't know how long it took to order, but it was finally the last person, and Tong Ying sighed with a sigh of relief.
"In. An Chu smiled slightly and responded.
"In this case, it's all here," Tong Yingcai stood up, An Chu's heart that had been hanging was about to be put down, suddenly, Tong Yingcai let out a soft cry and hung his heart in his throat, only to see Tong Yingcai exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, there are three hundred and twenty-seven people?"
It turned out that Tong Yingcai just stood up and flipped through it so casually, and the top of a piece of white paper and a few dazzling square characters suddenly jumped into his sight, so that he had to look at the place where the pen and ink had dropped.
Everyone secretly smacked their tongues, and the people who lived in the Phoenix Dragon Restaurant all knew that there were 326 people who participated in the primary election this time, what is the situation with this, this extra person?
"Examiner, who is it?"
Just as everyone was staring curiously at the silent person behind the bead curtain on the second floor, the arrogant voice in front of the team once again broke the silence.
Tong Yingcai's mind was running rapidly, this scorebook had been kept here by himself, and he had never left his body......
Wrong!
Tong Yingcai's eyes widened suddenly, he suddenly thought that this scorebook was not the one written by the examiner Bai Shunyu himself, and yesterday the second prince disliked Mr. Bai's handwriting was too bad, so he had to copy it again...... Maybe he added it at that time.
"Examiner, Examiner, Tong ......"
"Shut up!" Tong Ying suddenly came to his senses, and just when Ye Xinyun was about to shout out his identity, he drank him.
Ye Xinyun pursed his lips and said, "What's the big deal......
"The prince of Xiaoyao Mansion ......," Tong Yingcai shouted unhurriedly.
He named this name not because he was afraid of the second prince or planned to turn a blind eye, but because he saw a row of fly-headed letters at the bottom of the page with the name attached to it—"This is what the emperor promised, don't believe you ask him." If something happens, you're responsible!"
Well, this is clear in black and white, even if it is fake, you can get away with it.
Tong Yingcai weighed it in his heart, and decided to point out this person.
But halfway through his words, he paused again - his name was not written on it.
Escape?
There was a question mark in everyone's hearts. Isn't Xiaoyao Mansion the second prince's mansion? Why does the second prince also want to sacrifice someone? What did the examiner see? Why didn't he speak?
"Tong Gong Zheng?"
At this moment, Qianshui and his party walked up, and Bai Shunyu saw that he didn't speak, so he called out.
"Hmm, Lord Bai!" Tong Ying turned back slightly and saluted.
"Excuse me. What are you doing? Are you done? The doctors are still waiting to check their bodies. Bai Shunyu asked with a frown.
"Ugh. Tong Ying glanced at Qianshui.
"Ah, look what I do. Qianshui smiled and jumped on the table to sit down, flipping through the scorebook casually, "Do you want to hit me?" ”
"......" Tong Yingcai didn't speak, glancing at the scorebook on the table.
Bai Shunyu sensed that something was wrong with the two, took two steps forward and grabbed the scorebook and read it, flipped through a few sheets and found nothing abnormal, just when he was about to give up, he suddenly saw a cloud of black letters.
"The prince of Xiaoyao Mansion?" Bai Shunyu was almost so angry that he turned his back on it, "Second prince, do you want to explain?"
"What is there to explain. Qianshui casually played with the ink, glanced back at the confused sons below, and said with a smile: "Are you sure they let them stand like this? ”
Bai Shunyu squinted at the sons below, and knocked on the scorebook angrily, "Who can blame this?"
"I have annotations underneath. Qianshui pouted and motioned for Bai Shunyu to look down.
When Bai Shunyu saw that line of fly-headed Xiaokai, he was about to blurt out "The ghost believes you", but he suddenly thought that the emperor had even met such an impudent request from the examiner, let alone a concubine in the Xiaoyao Mansion?
"Really?" But Bai Shunyu couldn't help but ask.
Qianshui smiled, "Can I lie to you?" Saying that, Qianshui glanced back again, confirmed that there was no shadow of madness in the crowd, and urged anxiously in his heart: Crazy, you have to be fast, if you don't participate, how can I help you.
"Alright then, just add him. Anyway, if something happens, you'll be on your shoulders. Tong Gongzheng, you go roll call. Bai Shunyu handed over the scorebook.
Tong Yingcai glanced at Qianshui, took the scorebook, and turned around to go to the roll call.
"Eh, what's the hurry, you don't have to worry about him, he will come later, you let these people start first, after all, we will come out of the first level when the emperor comes over in the morning. Chisui said with a wave of his hand.
"He hasn't come yet?" Bai Shunyu asked in surprise.
"Hmm. Hey, I'll be back in a moment anyway. Chisui prevaricated impatiently.
"But, this is a violation, right?" Bai Shunyu still couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm, the emperor has agreed, what other rules are more powerful than the emperor's will?" Qianshui asked with a frown, feigned anger.
Bai Shunyu spread his hands awkwardly, "Okay, anyway, the first level will take a long time, and he can still score points if he catches up...... Tong Gongzheng gave the order for them to go in in groups of four to check. ”
"Yes. Tong Gong answered, and turned to the person outside the bead curtain and ordered.
Bai Shunyu saw that the first four had already entered the pavilion, and breathed a sigh of relief, which can be regarded as the beginning. After being silent for a while, he turned to Qianshui and asked, "Hey, then how did he come in?" I just asked Bai Shang Palace to notify someone to close the palace gate." ”
"Cut, what a big deal. Do you think the palace walls of our Northern Forbidden City can stop the three princes? Chisui said disdainfully.
"The Third Prince?" everyone gasped, "Why will the Third Prince?"
"Of course, how can I say that my third brother is also Brother Wang's own brother, how can I not come on such an occasion. Qianshui smiled, "I have already sent him the person I want to offer." ”
Everyone swallowed their saliva, the third prince, this family is here today.
"Okay, I'll go down and see the Eastern Imperial Doctor. With that, Qianshui jumped off the table and strode downstairs.
Several examiners looked at each other in the back, obviously everyone was not very happy after hearing the news that the third prince was coming.
-----
"Emperor, the construction of the embankment around the North Forbidden City has begun, but the tributary of the Thousand Rivers next to Dongshi has to be diverted due to the project, but after that, it will flow through the ancestral houses of the people of Jingjun, which is ......"
The waiter of the Ministry of Works hesitated and did not say the words "I still hope that the emperor will decide".
The emperor shook his head, "The housing problem of the people of Jingjun is indeed very important, and when the matter of accepting the concubine is over, Lone will discuss this matter with the prime minister." Ladies and gentlemen, I also hope that you will be mentally prepared, once you want to rectify, then the small actions you have secretly done over the years will be moved to the table one by one. ”
"If you are weak in your heart, hurry up and return the houses you have forcibly occupied to the people, otherwise, you can try the lonely means. When the emperor said this, he didn't frown, his voice was not low, not flat, not much majesty in it, but it made everyone's hearts furious.
The emperor still complains that they pay too much attention to the matter of the concubine, and wants to use this to fight back and knock the mountain and shock the tiger.
"Okay, is there anything else to do?" the emperor looked around, took a breath, and said, "Okay, since there is nothing else to do, let's talk about the concubine." ”
PS: I have something to say...... On October 1, "Husband in the North" was put on the shelves, which means that everyone has to pay for it. In fact, Yin Xiu is still very worried, after all, there are few people who read books, and so far there has been no reader to reward, and if you have to pay for it later, there will be no one, alas, but you are so poor, what if you don't open VIP. (It's three cents a chapter, ahem.) )
