fake prince

Chapter 329
Although it is a rare text, it is not absolutely nothing. As the emperor, who would be jealous of the literature of his courtiers?

No matter how well written the article is, can you still fight a war?
The emperor sat on the pier meditating, and there was a dead silence for a moment. This paper was folded by the three chief and deputy examiners. They only looked up a little, and they all knew which paper it was, so they heard the emperor ask: "Why is this paper ranked third? "

Is this good or bad?
Zhong Fanzhi, the chief examiner, raised his gaze a little, but was shrunk in fright by the emperor's cold gaze, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Although the third volume of the article is good, it can be said to be pure and liberal, and it is not easy to write a single word. When discussing the classics, not only the examinees, but even me Waiting also seems to be inferior, but..."

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

After saying this, in fact, the chief examiner was also very disturbed in his heart.

Fortunately, the emperor nodded. Even though he was silent, the tense atmosphere in the hall was still slightly relaxed.

When the two met, they immediately understood that this was the third volume of The Emperor's Dislike!

Just as he was about to slander, Eunuch Zhao had sharp eyes and saw a female official coming from the outer hall.

The eunuchs present all showed surprise. After all, on such an important occasion, the emperor was discussing matters with the ministers in the inner hall, and the people outside did not stop the strange female official, did not report, and let people in directly?
There was a young eunuch who didn't know the female officer and wanted to stop him immediately, but Eunuch Zhao had already trotted out from the inner hall, stopped the person directly, and with a smile on his face, he said to the female officer, "What orders does the Empress have?"

This is actually the female officer next to the empress?

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

According to the theory, the empress is the head of the Sangong and the Sixth Court, and she is the enemy of the emperor, so she should not stop her. However, for more than ten years, although the younger eunuchs heard that the emperor and the empress were in love, they have never experienced it, and even almost felt it. There is no presence of the queen.

Even Concubine Wu and Concubine Mei have more presence than the Queen.

It can be said that the queen is on the verge of collapse. For more than ten years, all the concubines who spy on the queen's position have been demoted or left in the cold palace.

This is a block, if you don't block it, what attitude should you take?

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

Eunuch Zhao showed a smile on his face, and the female officer Zhaoxia gave a blessing, and smiled: "The emperor has worked hard on state affairs, it is really hard, the empress is really distressed, so I asked my servant to bring soup."

Eunuch Zhao looked, and there was a palace lady following Zhaoxia, holding a large plate in her hand, with a trace of white gas, and around the palace lady, there were two little eunuchs, all guarding outside, when he looked over, , the two nodded.

Eunuch Zhao knew that it had been tested for poison.

"Let the old slave take it in." Eunuch Zhao said with a smile, thinking that the inner hall was discussing matters and it was inconvenient for the female officer to enter.

"Then it's Eunuch Lao." Zhaoxia only needs to deliver the things, and blessed again, Eunuch Zhao brought the soup in herself.

"Your Majesty, this is the soup sent by the empress. She said that you have worked hard on state affairs." Carefully carrying the soup inside, Eunuch Zhao went straight to the side of the emperor and said softly.

"The empress sent someone to bring soup?" The emperor was startled when he heard this, and quickly changed his mind, and said, "My empress is more thoughtful and wants to pass on some food!"

As he spoke, he opened it. It turned out to be chicken soup, which is very common in the palace. He didn't speak, but just scooped up the soup with a spoon and drank it. While drinking, it might be hot, and there was sweat on his forehead. Eunuch Zhao hurriedly took the handkerchief past.

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

"It's been 17 years, and I've had the queen's soup again."

It has been 17 years, but he still remembers the taste. It was not only sent by the empress, but also made by the empress 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 and the emperor had a quarrel with the emperor because of the prince, but now it seems that it may not be the case." While the three examiners were thinking, the emperor finished his drink and took out the third volume to read carefully.

Gradually, the emperor realized the taste.

"It goes without saying that it is pure and elegant. The most expensive thing is that there is a kind of demeanor in the writing, a kind of demeanor that despises princes and despises dukes. It seems to be royal."

"Although it is indifferent, it is not suitable for a minister."

"Fu'er's son lived among the people. According to information, he once lived in poverty. Even before the imperial examination last year, he borrowed a loan to bury him in the coffin, but hasn't he lost Tianhuang's aristocratic nature?"

This is the characteristic of the traveler who is not afraid of anything, no matter how hard he tries to suppress it, it still shows.

The emperor faintly understood that either he was young, or his arrogance touched his scales.

"Forget it, if you don't have any royal air, you are not my descendants." The emperor seemed to still have the familiar and friendly taste on his tongue, finally sighed, and changed his words: "If you don't understand current affairs, just watch politics more. It's very good, let's order it as Huiyuan."

"The emperor is holy!" The three chief and deputy examiners were a little dazed, they didn't understand what kind of riddle this was playing, why they didn't like reading the third volume before, but they changed their attitudes in a blink of an eye.

But as a courtier, he was lucky to be able to retreat unscathed this time, so naturally he didn't dare to say more, and he wanted to praise him.

When the three adults retreated, Eunuch Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, the emperor's face was flushed with excitement, he walked around the hall a few times, and suddenly asked, "Has the tribute this year come up?"

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

"Take it quickly and show me, show me."

"Ah... obey the order!"

The emperor hadn't looked at these so-called tributes for many years. At this moment, he gave an order, and within a short time, two eunuchs and a group of young eunuchs carried a few boxes to His Highness and opened them.

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

The emperor approached, looked carefully, and repeatedly ordered: "These pearls are not bad, take ten and reward the queen."

"Although it's spring, it's still cold, so I have to repair a set of mink clothes and court clothes."

"Not to mention satin, a reward of one hundred pieces."

"The last time I went to the empress's place, I saw that the black lacquered low table was old, what did the servants in the palace do to eat, and let the empress feel so cold, I saw it seriously and cleaned it up."

After thinking for a while, he said, "The queen likes spring tea the most, so I sent it to her with Yuquan water—why is there no spring tea here?"

"Long live, you forgot, it's only March, and the spring tea hasn't been delivered yet!" Eunuch Zhao said with an apologetic smile.

If the emperor lost something, he said: "When the tribute is delivered, notify me immediately, and send these to the queen first."

"Slaves... obey the order!" Seeing the emperor like this, Eunuch Zhao's eyes became hot, and he almost burst into tears. He quickly ordered the little eunuch to cover it up, and watched the little eunuch carrying him go away, feeling melancholy for a moment, and couldn't help but secretly Thinking: "Su Ziji, what are you doing now?"
