With the barrage above my head, I am the richest in Beijing

Chapter 17 One dares to say, one dares to believe

Lu Qiaoyu was sweating nervously, and her mind was spinning crazily, ready to think of a perfect excuse.

She even thought that at the critical moment, if it didn't work out, she would sell herself and not be able to expose His Majesty.

If it didn't work out, she said that her thoughts were not pure and she went out in the middle of the night. In fact, she wanted to meet His Majesty by chance. She wanted to enter the palace!

Lu Qiaoyu:...!

Woo hoo, Your Majesty, I have sacrificed a lot for you, and your reward cannot be too little!

Not only Lu Qiaoyu was nervous, but the secret guard who was watching secretly was also nervous.

Ah this...

About to be exposed?

Although your Majesty is not a suspicious person, the situation is special every year, so your Majesty has made both light and dark preparations.

Lu Qiaoyu was dispatched openly, and there were two secret guards secretly observing Gu Niannian in two shifts a day.

Of course, when it comes to things like privacy, they must avoid suspicion.

But, the others are definitely worth keeping an eye on.

This is surveillance and protection.

The secret guard was also hesitant that Lu Qiaoyu seemed to be exposing this matter.

Do you want to protect yourself?

Both of them, one bright and one dark, fell into nervous thinking.

Gu Niannian woke up after a long sleep and found...

Hey?

Lu Qiaoyu isn't here?

What's going on?

She didn't think much about it, she just assumed that the other party couldn't sleep and went out for a walk.

But this is the royal palace after all, His Majesty's harem, and things can easily happen if things go around randomly.

What if His Majesty misunderstands that you want to seduce him?

Although, as mentioned in the plot provided by the spoiler system, His Majesty is now alone until his old age, with no queen and no children.

Later, some unofficial historians said that it was because he had Bai Yueguang in his heart that he never got married.

However, because the late emperor had a deep love for the queen, coupled with his poor health and no children, the current emperor was adopted from the queen's clan.

Therefore, the courtiers and relatives did not attach any particular importance to Emperor Wu's lifelong celibacy.

In particular, the other party finally adopted the clan's child and raised him as a prince, so the courtiers would not be able to make mistakes.

But what if?

Gu Niannian is quite worried.

Now that I saw that the person was back, he didn't seem to have caused any trouble. I finally felt relieved and strode forward to reach Lu Qiaoyu. Just as he was about to speak, he smelled the aroma of food from the other party.

This made Gu Niannian take a few sniffs regardless of his appearance: "Huh?"

After making a vague and confused nasal sound, Gu Niannian raised his head and asked curiously: "Did you go to the imperial kitchen to find food?"

Otherwise, how can the body smell like food?

It seemed to taste like the peach blossom cakes she had eaten in the past two days.

Because it is fried, the taste is particularly fragrant and quite rich.

God knows, Lu Qiaoyu was so nervous that she was breaking out in a cold sweat.

As a result, Gu Niannian only came over and asked: Are you eating secretly behind my back in the middle of the night?

This made her quietly sigh in relief, and at the same time she continued to make up nonsense: "I only ate porridge in the evening, and I was a little not full, so I wanted to go and have a look, but I was too embarrassed to go in."

The late Emperor was devoted to love, but His Majesty now has no harem.

There was no one in the harem, so the imperial dining room was not busy every day.

There were people at this time because His Majesty had to stay up late to review the papers, so a midnight snack was prepared for him.

Lu Qiaoyu's body was scented because His Majesty's late-night snacks were delivered to her just before she left. The hot air was floating in the air. It was probably that it drifted to her body and brought back a little scent.

Hearing what she said, Gu Niannian was a little disappointed.

If this were her own home, she would dare to mess with it at any time.

But in the palace...

forget about it.

She gave Lu Qiaoyu a helpless look, and pointed to the room: "Go to sleep, you won't be hungry when you sleep."

Lu Qiaoyu: "...Well, I understand, then let's go to bed?"

When Gu woke up in the middle of the year, he actually didn't have much energy, so he nodded quickly.

Lu Qiaoyu pricked her ears, but she didn't hear any different thoughts. She guessed that the other party believed her words.

After returning to her room, Lu Qiaoyu dared to truly breathe a sigh of relief, and everyone just sat there paralyzed.

After waiting for a long time, he wiped his face, then simply washed himself and went to bed.

The next day, the two of them had breakfast together.

While eating, looking at the familiar minced meat porridge and pickles, Gu Niannian missed the breakfast in modern times.

[Soy milk, fried dough sticks, fried cakes, steamed buns]

[Pancakes, small bowls of wontons, egg pancakes, sandwiches]

……

Seeing these words floating over Gu Niannian's head and ringing in his ears, Lu Qiaoyu, who clearly didn't recognize these things, swallowed quietly.

Although I don’t know what this is about, it looks delicious!

After dinner, the two of them made some plans for the land of Chonghua Palace.

The discussion was almost over, and His Majesty also went to court early.

Gu has to go on duty every year, so Lu Qiaoyu can take a break.

Gu Niannian is in good health today and is going to eat melon. I would like to ask Your Majesty if I can borrow some from the Minister of Industry.

Therefore, she has to go today.

Today's imperial examination system is only a prototype of the ancient imperial examination system.

If the division is really detailed, it can be regarded as a stage of transition from the imperial examination system to the imperial examination system.

To put it simply, the local government recommends qualified personnel with corresponding moral standards and then sends them to the capital. Then the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy jointly set questions for examination selection.

After all, before paper became popular, it was still difficult to conduct such a large-scale examination across the country.

During the morning court, the matter of the imperial examination had naturally been discussed. Cui Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, after the court today, was busy investigating the matter of his apprentice.

In fact, he also checked after going to court yesterday.

The students and subordinates he has led are all considered as disciples.

Looking at it this way, there are quite a lot of people involved.

However, because it was a matter of imperial examination fraud, the scope was narrowed a bit.

Even so, I couldn't find anything in half a day.

Therefore, after today's morning meeting, Cui Chengfeng did not waste time and went on to investigate.

At the same time, he also needs to make it clear to his daughter about the discord between their husband and wife, and let her decide for herself whether to make it clear to her son-in-law or not.

Let them resolve this matter on their own.

What Cui Chengfeng could do was probably help the couple open their mouths.

The other ministers have no other plans. They will definitely come to discuss matters after the morning court.

Moreover, I was hoping to hear some other news from Gu Niannian.

So, what if you don’t come?

His Majesty went first, followed closely by the others.

People who had turned on the speakers when they came in did not need to raise their heads.

But the person who was more cautious and didn't dare to poke the trumpet subconsciously set his sights on Gu Niannian's head.

At this time, Gu Niannian was still struggling with how to speak.

【Your Majesty~】

【His Majesty! ! 】

【Your Majesty~=~】
