Although it is a rare text, it is not absolutely nothing, as an emperor, who would be jealous of the literature of his courtiers?

No matter how well the article is written, can it still be warn?

The emperor sat on the pier and pondered, silent for a while, this volume was folded by the three chief and deputy examiners, his eyes were only slightly raised, he knew which volume it was, and he listened to the emperor ask: "How is this volume ranked third?"

Is this good or bad?

The examiner Zhong Fanzhi's eyes were raised slightly, and he was frightened by the emperor's cold gaze, and bowed again and again: "Although the articles in the third volume are good, they can be said to be pure and elegant, and it is not easy to say a word, and the essay dictionary, not only the candidates, but even us seem to be inferior, but ......"

He wasn't sure whether he should praise or denigrate, but the emperor couldn't wait, so he said, "But it seems to be too elegant, and it doesn't eat fireworks, and it's not suitable for officials!"

After saying this, in fact, the examiner's heart was also very worried.

Fortunately, the emperor nodded, even if he was silent, but the tense atmosphere in the hall was still slightly relaxed.

When the two of them saw it, they immediately understood, this is the third volume that the emperor doesn't like!

Just as he was about to follow the slander, Zhao Gonggong's eyes were sharp, and he saw a female official coming over from the outer hall.

The eunuchs present all showed surprise, after all, on such an important occasion, the emperor was discussing with the minister in the inner hall, and the people outside actually didn't stop this strange female official, nor did they report it, and let people in directly?

A young eunuch didn't know this female official, and immediately wanted to stop him, but Zhao Gonggong had already trotted out of the inner hall, stopped the person directly, smiled, and said to the female official: "What does the queen have to order?"

This is actually the female official next to the queen's mother?

The young eunuch who was going to stop him before was sweating on his back, and he didn't know what to do.

According to reason, the queen is the lord of the three palaces and six courts, and she is an enemy of the emperor and should not be blocked, but for more than ten years, the younger eunuchs, although they heard that the emperor and the queen were in love, have not experienced it, and they can hardly even feel the existence of the queen.

Even Concubine Wu and Concubine Mei have a greater presence than the queen.

can be said that the queen is crumbling, and for more than ten years, all the concubines who have spied on the queen's throne have either degraded or gone to the palace.

Is this blocked, not stopped, and with what attitude?

Fortunately, Zhao Gonggong went up first, yes, look at the attitude, he is a great eunuch, and he knows the emperor's mind better.

I saw Zhao Gonggong smiling, and the female official Chaoxia gave a blessing and smiled: "The emperor is really hard to work on state affairs, and the queen is really distressed, so she asked the slave to send soup." ”

Zhao Gonggong looked at a palace maid who followed Chaoxia, holding a large plate in her hand, with a hint of white gas, and on the left and right of the palace maid, there were two little eunuchs, all of whom were guarding outside, and when he looked over, the two of them nodded.

Zhao Gonggong knew that this had been tested for poison.

"Just let the old slave go in. Zhao Gonggong thought that the inner hall was deliberating, and it was inconvenient for the female official to enter, so he said with a smile.

"Then there is Father-in-law Lao. As long as Chaoxia delivered the things, and was blessed, Zhao Gonggong personally brought the soup in.

"Your Majesty, this is the soup sent by the queen's mother, saying that you have worked hard for state affairs. Carefully holding the soup in, Zhao Gonggong came straight to the emperor's side and said softly.

"The queen sent someone to bring soup?" When the emperor heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and his thoughts changed quickly, and he said: "Or my queen is thoughtful, and she wants to pass on some food!"

As he spoke, he opened it, it turned out to be chicken soup, which was very common in the palace, and he didn't speak, just scooped the soup with a spoon and drank it, drinking, maybe it was hot, and there was sweat on his forehead, and Zhao Gonggong hurriedly took a handkerchief.

The emperor remained silent and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"It's been seventeen years, and I've once again drunk the queen's soup. ”

Seventeen years later, he still remembers this taste, this is not only sent by the queen, but also made by the queen herself, but for whom?

For a while, when I read the third volume again, my mood was extremely complicated.

"It is rumored that the queen had a falling out with the emperor because of the prince's affairs, but now it seems that it may not be like that. While the three examiners were pondering, the emperor finished drinking and took out the third volume to read carefully.

Gradually, the emperor tasted it.

"Needless to say, pure liberal arts, the most expensive thing is that there is a kind of bearing in the text, a kind of light prince and slow princess bearing, which seems to be kingly spirit. ”

"Although it is faint, it is not suitable for human ministers. ”

"Fu'er's son is in exile among the people, according to intelligence, he once lived a hard life, and even before the imperial examination last year, he borrowed money to bury the coffin, but he hasn't gotten rid of the nature of Tianhuang and nobles?"

This is the trait of the traverser who is not afraid of heaven and earth, even if he tries his best to suppress it, it still reveals.

The emperor vaguely understood, either he was young, or he was angry, and he touched his scales.

"Well, if you don't have any royal spirit, you won't be my descendant. On the emperor's tongue, there seemed to be that familiar and friendly taste, and finally sighed, and changed his words: "If you don't understand current affairs, you can watch politics more, this volume is very good, just order it for Huiyuan." ”

"Emperor Shengming!" The three chief and deputy examiners were all a little confused, they didn't understand what kind of dumb riddle this was, why they didn't like reading the third volume before, and they changed their attitudes in a blink of an eye.

But as a courtier, he was fortunate to be able to retreat this time, so he naturally didn't dare to say more, and he had to praise it.

When the three adults retreated, Gonggong Zhao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But seeing that there were no outsiders, the emperor's face was full of excited blood, and he turned around the hall a few times, and suddenly asked: "Is this year's tribute already coming up?"

"Come up, you ordered it yesterday according to the old practice, and you haven't dealt with it yet!"

"Fetch it for me, show me. ”

"Ah...... Yes!"

The emperor has not looked at these so-called tributes for many years, and at this time, an order was given, and in less than a moment, two eunuchs carrying a group of small eunuchs carried a few boxes and cages to His Highness and opened them.

The items inside are all wrapped in bright yellow soft satin, including rouge lipstick, rhinoceros wooden comb, mirror, jade ruyi, and hairpin rings......

The emperor approached, looked at it carefully, and ordered again and again: "This Dongzhu is good, take ten and reward it to the queen." ”

"And although it's spring, there is still cold, and the mink clothes and court clothes also need to be repaired. ”

"Satin is even more indispensable, reward a hundred horses. ”

"The last time I went to the queen's place, I saw that the black lacquer low table was old, and what were the palace slaves doing to eat, so that the queen was so cold, I took it seriously. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "The queen likes spring tea the most, and she brought jade spring water to send her over - why can't you see spring tea here?"

"Long live, you forgot, it's only March now, and the spring tea hasn't come up yet!" Zhao Gonggong hurriedly said with a smile.

If the emperor was disappointed, he said, "The tribute is up, inform me immediately, and send these to the queen first." ”

"Slave maid...... "Seeing the emperor like this, Zhao Gonggong's eyes were hot, and he almost fell into tears, and hurriedly ordered the little eunuch to cover it up, watching the little eunuch who was carrying it go away, he was melancholy for a while, and couldn't help but think: "Su Ziji, what are you doing now?"
