The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

The Minister of Rites naturally brought the test papers along with him.

However, there were special examiners for the imperial examinations, and the rankings were arranged. Emperor Yong looked at the test papers, but it was just a formality, which was the case in previous years.The emperor has to deal with so many government affairs every day, how can he have the experience to manage all aspects?Just look at their rankings.

Minister of Rites didn't think too much, and handed over the test paper directly.Unexpectedly, Emperor Yong took the test papers and read them carefully one by one, his brows furrowed deeper.

A swipe of cold sweat ran across the forehead of Minister of Rites.

This is the first time that Minister of Rites has presided over an imperial examination since he was promoted to office.I heard from the seniors of the Imperial Academy that the ranking of the imperial examinations in previous years was just a matter of nodding and stamping. What's wrong with your Majesty?Is he in a bad mood today?
Seeing Emperor Yong put down a paper, he suddenly said: "Dou Haoyan, how is he ranked?"

Isn't this Master Dou's nephew?The Ministry of Rites flipped through the books and found Dou Haoyan's name: "Your Majesty, fifth."

Emperor Yong was neither angry nor happy, and pulled out another paper, "Cui Yu?"

Oh, this is from the Cui family... "The third."

Emperor Yong pointed to an inscription: "What about this one?"

His voice was as steady as ever, but there was a tendency to not get angry.The Minister of Rites was fighting with each other, his forehead covered with cold sweat: "Your Majesty, this is Pan Lingze, the nephew of Marquis Qin Yang, the disciple of Master Dou..."

"What's his number?"

"Number one, sixth..."

absurd!It's ridiculous!
Emperor Yong didn't read other subjects, but only read Celun, who would have picked out a random one, and the rankings were all at the top.Some people wrote articles and directly copied a large number of classic works. Cui Yu, who ranked third, Emperor Yong even saw a typo in his article!

Candidates who have read poetry and books can't even write correctly. Is this the future pillar of the country?

Emperor Yong did not directly get angry with the Minister of Rites, he knew that the root of the problem was not the Minister of Rites, but the moths gnawing at the spine of the country.He just put this stack of test papers on the case, and said calmly: "I still need to think about this matter, you should step back first, and wait for my message."

Minister of Rites wiped his sweat: "Yes, yes..."

The uneasiness in my heart intensified.Emperor Yong had long been dissatisfied with the aristocratic family, and all the ministers in the court could see it. However, since Emperor Yong and the aristocratic family were willing to maintain a superficial balance, they would turn a blind eye to it.

But this time, is Emperor Yong going to tear himself apart from the aristocratic family?No, no, this matter must be reported to Lord Zheng Lian...

In the imperial study room, the palace servants around him had already knelt on the ground, Yin Fu bowed his body, and lowered his head again and again.

This gentleman is like a tiger, and outsiders say that Emperor Yong has a gentle temperament, only those who serve close to him know, the more he is like this, the more difficult it is to speculate, no one knows whether Emperor Yong will suddenly turn his face in the next moment.

With the candles flickering in front of him, Emperor Yong listened to his heartbeat aggravated by anger, supported the table with one hand, and said: "Call Li Mingji here."

……

County Palace.

Li Mingji wore an apron, kneading dough in the kitchen.

These hands have well-defined joints, are slender and powerful, can draw a twelve-stone heavy bow, and are good at drawing. The ordinary dough seems to have life in his hands, being kneaded into various shapes.

Shu Yao moved a chair and sat next to Li Mingji, watching him make cakes and eating pine nuts that Li Mingji had peeled.Accidentally seeing the rough purse on his waist again, she thought to herself that she couldn't go on being so decadent, so she immediately went to the palace to learn double-sided embroidery from Concubine Shu.

Putting the finished cakes into the steamer, Li Mingji turned his head, glanced at the leisurely little princess, and smiled a little more in his eyes: "Jiaojiao."

He was still a little uncomfortable at first, but in the past few days, his yelling has become more and more smooth.Shu Yao never thought that someone could yell small words so affectionately, at first she would blush, but now she mostly enjoys it, "How long will it be better?"

"About another hour," Li Mingji said, "Does Jiaojiao want to go for a walk?"

Shu Yao thought for a while, nodded and said good-bye, then extended her hand to Li Mingji: "You hug me."

That day when she accompanied Princess Jiayi to the Ministry of Rites, the whole examination room misunderstood that she wanted to choose a son-in-law. Shu Yao was afraid that Li Mingji would be jealous, so she didn't enter the palace for a few days, and just stayed in the princess' mansion.Who can be so considerate as her?Li Mingji treats her well, and it should be.

As soon as he hugged Li Mingji's neck, he saw the pine needles coming in. First he glanced at the two of them inexplicably, and then he got down to business: "Princess, Mr. Yin is here, and he said he wanted to see Guard Li."

Looking for Li Mingji?Shu Yao said: "Let him come directly."

Yin Fu hurried in and talked about Emperor Yong summoning Li Mingji.Li Mingji raised his eyebrows, not surprised, he probably guessed what Emperor Yong wanted him to do.

"Thank you, Mr. Yin, Ming Ji will arrive later."

"What does uncle want him for?" It's probably not a good thing to be in such a hurry, Shu Yao immediately said, "The chief of the county is with him."

This……

Yin Fu hesitated, then nodded.His Majesty attaches the most importance to the little princess, so important things have been sent to the little princess, so it's okay to tell the little princess about these things.He thought for a while and then explained: "Your Majesty just read the test questions of the imperial examination candidates... I'm not in a good mood."

Are you in a bad mood because of the imperial examination?Is there a problem with the test questions?

Shu Yao frowned.Although she didn't know anything about the imperial examinations, the examination room was so serious, but she was able to spread those smoky rumors, which showed that the quality of the candidates was uneven, and she didn't know how they were selected.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Yong was still reading "Wan Yu Tu".

The fine brushwork paintings of the Yong Dynasty are famous for their exquisiteness and attention to details, but the brushwork of this painting is majestic and majestic. It is hard to imagine that it was done by a young lady of fifteen or sixteen years old.However, thinking of the people around her who instructed her, it seems understandable to be able to draw such a work.

What is drawn on the map is the territory of the Yong Dynasty, which is the country of the Wei family.Emperor Yong lowered his eyes and moved his eyes slowly across the painting, but he was thinking in his heart, who does this country belong to?

"Your Majesty! Lord Li is here."

Li Mingji's real identity has not been exposed to the public's view so far, so he is only called "adult" at ordinary times.Emperor Yong turned his head and saw not only Li Mingji, but also Shu Yao who came in with him.

In front of close relatives, people's emotions will always appear much more fragile.His mother was not his biological mother, his wife hid a knife in her smile, and the trusted servant almost pushed him into a desperate situation. In this palace, the only thing he was closest to was his niece who was raised by himself.

We must protect her, for sure.

Emperor Yong suppressed the complicated emotions in his eyes, so he didn't think about why he summoned Li Mingji in a hurry, and Shu Yao immediately followed.

He pressed the center of his brows, let Shu Yao sit down first, then called Li Mingji over, pointed to the ranking on the table, "Li Mingji, let me ask you, which family are these people from?"

The college entrance examination is tomorrow!I wish all the candidates the titles of the gold list and success in no time!
