The Grand Princess

The reform of the imperial examination system was a major event.

Even though only a few scholars have proposed it, the court is still anxious.

Almost all families and ethnic groups stayed up all night, and Rou Fei stayed at the inspector until midnight.

Hundreds of scholars complained that Concubine Rou was exhausted just by hearing the case, not to mention Li Cheng, who was only eleven years old.

Concubine Roux felt sorry for Li Cheng, so she let Li Cheng go to bed early, listening to these scholars' cases, and staying up late at night.

In fact, she has long lost patience, but this is after all the first case she has taken over, and it is her first step in supervising Siliwei. In any case, she must take this matter to Li Cheng well. Pave the way for Li Cheng.

So Roufei gritted her teeth, and after hearing the words of the last scholar, she saw Guanya coming up with a confession, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, all the confessions of the persons involved in the case have been recorded, and Niangniang please give instructions."

Concubine Rou looked at Shangguanya, she wanted to change to Shangguanya, after all, she was a girl from Shangguan's family. But now she doesn't have the strength to argue with Shangguanya, and for the time being, she can't find someone who can replace Shangguanya. So she smiled and said: "It's getting late. After putting your confession down, go back to sleep."

Shangguan Ya bowed to Concubine Rou, and retired with her, and Concubine Rou got up and returned to the carriage. When she was sitting on the carriage alone, she only had the time and strength to think back about today.

In the morning, Cui Yulang came to her and talked about the complaint by the scholar at the gate of the palace. She wanted to take this opportunity to take over the inspectorate, earn Li Cheng some merits, and make Li Ming happy.

Li Cheng is still too young now, and Li Ming is not in good health these days, and her heart is always a little unstable. We must give Li Cheng something as soon as possible. If something happens to Li Ming, she will also prepare early.

It's just that she didn't expect such a big trouble and restructuring, how can she afford it?

Cui Yulang, this bastard...

Concubine Rou was scolding inwardly. She was trying to let Cui Yulang enter the palace tomorrow morning, but the carriage stopped abruptly before she spoke.

"Niang," the coachman's voice came from outside, "Well, second son, please see me."

When Rou Fei heard this, she paused. After hesitating for a while, she finally nodded: "Let him get on the carriage and talk."

The coachman was outside talking to outsiders for a while, and then he watched a young man in a black robe jump up.

He got into the carriage, first saluted the Concubine Rou, with an upright and elegant posture, and then sat down calmly.

"What are you doing?"

Concubine Rou was sitting in her seat, feeling a little nervous.

Sitting in the carriage farthest away from her, the other party said slowly, "I don't know who suggested that the lady who took the scholar's case today?"

The other party knew her too well and didn't even consider that she had come up with it.

But how could Concubine Rou recruit Cui Yulang so easily? Even if she has a grudge against Cui Yulang now, it does not mean that she has no defense against this person. So she brought the tea and chuckled lightly: "This is my own meaning, where do you need advice?"

"Oh?" The other party's tone was cold, "Is the Niang Niang who wanted to fight against the family? Niang Niang, you and His Royal Highness Su have no foundation in the court, and even His Royal Highness Pingle can't keep up with this case. You catch up, afraid It was designed by someone. When it comes to this, I hope my mother will take care of herself."

When the other party finished speaking, they stopped the carriage, then jumped out of the carriage and left in the dark.

Concubine Rou was angry and cold in her heart. She knew that this person was right, but she was helpless. She took the case in front of everyone, and now these scholars must be staring at her and making trouble. Although she was not in the court and King Su was young, because of her origin, many of the Han people secretly supported King Su.

She is here to win the support of the Han Clan, not to smash the stall. She accepted the case, and if these scholars were dissatisfied and made trouble again, it would somewhat ruin Li Cheng's reputation.

Let her close the case...

Where does she have the ability to restructure?

Concubine Rou made a sigh of relief, trying to prevent herself from thinking too much. She went to the palace and talked about it after seeing Li Ming.

When Concubine Rou returned to the palace, Li Ming had already waited for her in her palace.

It was the first time that she came back so late. Li Ming waited for him to be uninteresting. He let someone bring the tea and waited in the hall for a while, thinking of what he had discussed with Pei Wenxuan in the day.

These scholars are making troubles, which is planned by Pei Wenxuan.

Although he is young, he has the means to get the words of these scholars all the way to the main hall. Although this is a trivial matter, there are many joints that need to be opened.

From the guards outside the palace gate to the guard eunuchs inside the palace, any problems in the middle will not reach the hall.

But Pei Wenxuan had already discussed with him a few days ago.

Pei Wenxuan would ask these scholars to file a complaint, and then pretend to have a conflict with him. He took the opportunity to hand over the imperial examination to Pei Wenxuan and let Pei Wenxuan take full control of the matter. After that, Pei Wenxuan went out of the palace and took over these scholars to reform. Requirements.

The reform of the imperial examination system was something he had been thinking about for many years.

In fact, he didn't want to be so anxious, but since the beginning of this year, his health has not been good, and he always feels that there are many things that he cannot do well.

He was afraid that King Su could not wait for him.

And Pei Wenxuan happened to pass the reason for the restructuring into his hands at this time. If there is a chance, there is an executor, even if there are some risks, he has to take it.

Who would have thought that Concubine Rou would come out to take the case in the end.

So he quickly found Pei Wenxuan and discussed with Pei Wenxuan all afternoon.

He personally didn't want Concubine Rou to take this case. He knew the risks involved. For him, King Su was a hole card he used to contain Li Chuan. He didn't want Concubine Rou to influence King Su in an accident.

Thinking of this, Li Ming sighed slightly. Fulai was pouring tea for Li Ming. Hearing Li Ming sigh in the trickle water, Fulai could not help but said, "Why does your Majesty sigh?"

"Concubine Rou," Li Ming was helpless, "so stupid."

"This is the end of the matter," Fulai put down the teapot and sent the teacup to Li Ming's handbook. The spy's throat was a little regretful, "In any case, Concubine Roux is also sharing the worries for your Majesty. Your Majesty, please relax."

Li Ming listened to Fulai's comfort and remained silent.

He and Pei Wenxuan have discussed the matter all afternoon, and the best way to deal with this is to let Concubine Rou take the case at ease.

If it succeeds, Concubine Rou can control the supervisory department and pave the way for Li Cheng.

If you lose...

Li Ming's eyes were a little cold, and Concubine Rou was a concubine... it was her fault after all.

Li Ming had already thought about all the retreats. After waiting for a long time, he heard the voice of Roufei coming back from outside.

Concubine Rou was still outside the palace gate, listening to Li Ming waiting for her. She was surprised and puzzled. Li Ming was not a good-tempered person. She always gave in to him. This was the first time he was waiting for her like this.

Concubine Rou hurriedly entered the hall and knelt in front of Li Ming, apologizing: "The concubine was delayed by his affairs today and failed to meet your majesty in time. I hope your majesty will forgive me."

"I know," Li Ming got up and went to help her personally, with a gentle voice, "You have worked hard, how can I blame you?"

Concubine Rou was helped by Li Ming, and Li Ming took her into the hall: "Have you eaten anything?"

When Concubine Rou was reminded like this, she remembered that she had hardly eaten anything a day, but Li Ming came over late at night and waited for her for so long. If she had to rush to eat, she was afraid that Li Ming would not like it. She was about to say that she had eaten it, but Li Ming had already asked someone to serve the cooked porridge.

"I don't think you have eaten it before, and people just made porridge." Li Ming's voice was gentle, he took Roufei to sit down, took Roufei by the hand, and said softly, "I know you don't like sweets. Congee, specially made for people to make preserved egg and lean meat porridge. You haven't eaten anything in a day, so you can't eat too hard."

Li Ming took care of the woman with great care. Consort Rou didn't know what was wrong, she felt a little sour in her heart.

She seems to have been so much loved by Li Ming for many years. Between her and Li Ming, she used to take care of Li Ming all the time. After all, Li Ming is the emperor and the foundation of her life.

With so many women, why did Li Ming spoil her? She is now about the same age as Li Ming. She is not as good as those young girls in terms of beauty, and not as good as Shangguanyue in family history. She is not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She can stay with Li Ming for so long, except for her. The most important thing about the identity of the poor family and the love when she was young is that she understands Li Ming.

Her unconditional accommodation and company are what Li Ming needs most in this deep palace.

He has been suppressed by courtiers for too long. The pride of being an emperor made him extremely sensitive to all disobedience. Any disobedience in the family is arrogant in his heart, and the so-called character of the family’s women is just for him. Is disrespectful.

So her gentleness, obedientness, unconditional dedication, and wholehearted company are all things that Li Ming values ​​extremely.

Li Ming has been wayward with her for so many years, she almost forgot that she is a woman, and now she is a little bit sad after Li Ming's coaxing.

Li Ming looked at her with red eyes, and couldn't help but say: "Why is it so good, it seems to be crying?"

Concubine Rou reluctantly laughed, she sniffed, and whispered: "I just remembered how well your Majesty treated your concubines when you were young, and felt that your concubines had failed your majesty over the years."

"Why are you letting down?" Li Ming shook his head, "You have done a great job. You are willing to share things for me in this court."

Li Ming said, sighing, seemingly guilty: "The things in the court shouldn't involve your women, but now you have to charge for me. How can I be a husband?"

"His Majesty……"

When Concubine Roux heard the word "husband", tears fell. Li Ming laughed and held the person in his arms: "Why did you cry? Don't be afraid," Li Ming calmed her, "Tomorrow I will restore your concubine, and you will take care of the supervisor. That is, I will support you."

"I will arrange everything for you, don't worry."

"The concubine understands." After hearing Li Ming's promise, Rou Fei felt relieved.

She suddenly stopped complaining about Cui Yulang.

She remembered what Bai Ri Cui Yulang had advised her to say: "Manny, your majesty is your root. No family wants to support a cold prince. That is a humiliation to a family based on the blood of the family name."

"Only your majesty is the only support for the empress."

Cui Yulang was right.

When Concubine Rou was leaning in Li Ming's arms, she calmed down.

Regardless of whether there was an imperial examination system or not, she and the aristocratic family were not in the same way.

Li Ming is her only support.
