A Timely Wife

Chapter 198 Preparing for the Palace Examination

Chengdong didn't know when Miss Qingfeng came in. The commotion in the morning made Chengdong lose his strength, and he slept in bed all day. Li Ruosong served lunch and dinner on the bed. use.

Guanshi Liu is used to the matter of the eldest young master and his husband, and he would find it strange that one day the young couple would not be so clingy. Husband or husband and wife have been married for more than a year and have two children. It is indeed rare that the relationship can be so good.

Li Ruosong's grasp of the current situation is relatively accurate, especially the reason why the imperial examination was held in advance, what Li Ruosong said is almost all correct, except for one thing, not only the Wan family wants to use this opportunity to arrange His own manpower, Prince Zhong also planned to use Enke to deploy his power this time. Both sides were more impatient, so it was a foregone conclusion to conduct the palace test in advance.

In the same way, Prime Minister Wan hoped that the examiners of the palace examination would favor him, while Prince Zhong hoped that the examiners of the palace examination would be theirs. When the two sides were at a stalemate, he didn't know that it was their daily quarrels that annoyed Emperor Chu Cheng. It was still that Emperor Chu Cheng was in good health recently and wanted to show his performance. Emperor Chu Cheng said that he would personally sit in the palace test.

As soon as this remark came out, both the Prime Minister Wan's faction and the loyal prince's side were amazed. Since Emperor Chu Cheng stopped interfering in political affairs ten years ago, he let the two prime ministers do everything he could do. If you don't show up, you won't show up, and the imperial examination was also handed over to the Imperial College to take full responsibility. In the past, the imperial examination for the two imperial examinations was presided over by the Imperial College Jijiu. Emperor Chu Cheng was only responsible for stamping the final list. He didn't worry about it at all, so that when the Luming Banquet was held later, Emperor Chu Cheng couldn't even call out the name of the new champion.

As soon as the news that Emperor Chu Cheng presided over the palace examination came out, there was an uproar in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. This was the first time that Emperor Chu Cheng appeared in front of civil and military ministers since His Royal Highness was born. I haven't seen it, and the students in this class don't know whether it is lucky or unlucky.

The chief examiner of the palace examination was decided in this way, and the examination questions are generally determined by the chief examiner. After several times of questioning by the Imperial College, Emperor Chu Cheng said that he announced the examination questions on the spot, and the emperor said so. Withdrawing, this also made the people on Prime Minister Wan's side anxious.

The talents recruited by Lord Zhong's subordinates are pretty good, and they have more or less foundation, so they are not very worried, but compared with the ink in their stomachs, the people on Prime Minister Wan's side are better at eating, drinking and whoring Gambling and bullying, even if you know the test questions, you can't do well in the test, let alone don't know the test questions at all.

Prime Minister Wan Guifei told Concubine Wan Gui many times, asking Concubine Wan Gui to think of a way to see if she could get the problem out of Emperor Chu Cheng. Concubine Wan Gui had indeed tried, but this time Emperor Chu Cheng did not know what medicine was wrong. In the past, she was obedient to Concubine Wan Gui, but this time she refused to tell Concubine Wan Gui what problem she was going to ask.

Concubine Wan Gui was alerted by Emperor Chu Cheng's anomaly. She had a bad premonition that something seemed to be out of her control. Concubine Wan Gui wanted to find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible. The crown prince was ill, quite seriously ill, crying and crying all night long, his forehead was always hot, and the fever never went away. Concubine Wan Gui could only take care of the little crown prince now, taking care of the child in her clothes.

When something happened to the little prince, Concubine Wan Gui naturally couldn't take care of Enke's affairs. Prime Minister Wan also understood that the little prince is the backer and the biggest reliance of their Wan family, and there is no room for sloppy, so Prime Minister Wan didn't urge this matter any more. He turned to get close to the chief eunuch next to Emperor Chu Cheng, trying to get some news from the chief eunuch.

It's a pity that the chief eunuch has been with Emperor Chu Cheng since he was a child, and he doesn't listen to anyone except Emperor Chu Cheng, and he doesn't help anyone. If it wasn't for this, many plans of Concubine Wan Gui could have been implemented long ago No, it will not be delayed until such an old age to get the queen down. It is precisely because the chief eunuch is extremely firm and impartial that many young father-in-laws and maids in the palace dare not do it blatantly. This made Concubine Wan Gui's plan for many years to bear fruit.

The chief eunuch doesn’t eat soft and hard things, gold and silver are not wanted. If Eunuch Zhang is a tiger with a smiling face, then the chief eunuch is a cold-faced god. Of course, Prime Minister Wan has no choice but to wait for the palace exam in a few days. At the same time, he was begging in his heart that these people in his hands could be smarter or luckier. As long as they can pass the palace examination smoothly, the future road arrangements will be easy, but it is a pity that the top three can only look at it and slip away.

For the past ten days, Qingfeng girl has been very quiet, and Liu Guanshi personally sent the meals to the small courtyard. As long as no one in the Li family asked her to do something or ask her about something, she would definitely not be in front of her. This made Li Ruosong very satisfied, because now they have nothing to bother Miss Qingfeng.

So during the ten days, Li Ruosong and Chengdong lived relatively leisurely. No one sent them posts to ask for a meeting, and no one gave them money, land, or house in a tricky way, and no one gave them stuff. The maid is the concubine, the maid is the concubine, Li Ruosong is only in charge of reviewing books, and Cheng Dong is only in charge of writing books. During the day, they deal with pen and ink, and at night, the two of them devote themselves to the career of making people, which is quite hard work.

Early in the morning on the day of the palace examination, Cheng Dong woke up earlier than Li Ruosong, saying that he didn’t worry about it. When the time came, he was more worried than anyone else. Li Ruosong’s ability to get to where he is today is more or less due to luck. , but people are always like this. When he has these, he always wants to have more. Although Chengdong has been telling himself to be normal and normal, but when things really come to an end, he still unconsciously hopes that Li If Ruosong can be lucky, maybe he will be admitted to the first class, right?

Li Ruosong, on the other hand, is much calmer than Chengdong. Speaking of it, Li Ruosong is actually much younger than Chengdong, but more mature than Chengdong. When the two get along, Li Ruosong is always the one who gives way. Ruo Song said that a man should pamper his husband, otherwise he would be a man.

Chengdong got up early in the morning and first checked Li Ruosong's package carefully. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were all ready, and none of them were dropped or entrained. Everything was normal. Chengdong heaved a sigh of relief, and then Go to check Li Ruosong's clothes. Today, Li Ruosong prepared a set of blue silk straight embroidered clothes. The style is simple and elegant. After wearing Li Ruosong, it can highlight his heroic spirit. Cheng Dong likes this very much. Li Ruosong would not easily wear the clothes on non-important occasions.

The palace examination is different from the general examination. All the students who have passed the Jinshi examination must take the palace examination in the Dezheng Palace. The top 100 students are in the palace, and the remaining more than [-] are outside the palace. Of course, the emperor is sitting in the palace. It is sitting on the ground, there will be a desk in front of you, it is not high, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all available, all you need is for the emperor to announce the examination questions, and the examinees can answer, but considering that the pen, ink, paper and inkstone may be tampered with, the examinees They will also prepare another set by themselves, and cheat in front of the emperor. These candidates still think that they do not have such courage.

It was rare for Emperor Chu Cheng to wake up early in the morning, and changed into the dragon robe under the service of the court ladies. Concubine Wan Gui lay on the bed, looked at Emperor Chu Cheng, and said, "Your Majesty, I need to trouble you to select materials for the country this time."

"What Aifei said is that I should do these things in the first place. We must always leave some useful people for our son. The people selected by Enke this time are all disciples of the emperor. In the future, they will assist our son. Yes, how can I not care about it? This time, the selection of people is not only to choose useful people, but also to choose capable people. The country of Great Chu must grow into the largest country in the hands of our son. "Emperor Chu Cheng said ambitiously.

This passage made Concubine Wan Gui dispel her doubts about Emperor Chu Cheng at once. Because Emperor Chu Cheng had to be the chief examiner this time, Concubine Wan Gui once suspected that Emperor Chu Cheng had discovered something and wanted to start to contain the Wan family. It's not that she doesn't love this man, but she obviously loves herself more than being a queen mother.

After hearing that Emperor Chu Cheng insisted on serving as the chief examiner for her son, Concubine Wan Gui breathed a sigh of relief. After death, the arrangements I made before will be in vain. It is best for Emperor Chu Cheng to live for another three years, otherwise they will really fall into a passive position. The old men above the court are not easy to dismiss.

"It's the concubine who said something wrong and should be punished. The concubine will make a pot of soup for the emperor to make amends later. The emperor has to drink all of it. Otherwise, the concubine will not obey me." Concubine Wan Gui said coquettishly.

Concubine Wan Gui is already sixty years old, but she is well maintained. If someone who doesn't know her looks at it, she might think that she is only about 30 years old, and she is very charming. the most important reason.

"Okay, okay, okay, I will definitely drink up every drop, and my concubine will wait for me here, and I will come back later." After Chu Chengdi finished speaking, he left the bedroom with a big smile.

Emperor Chu Cheng left, and Concubine Wan Gui called a young eunuch to come over and give some instructions. Concubine Wan Gui finished her orders, and the little eunuch took the order with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye.
