Chapter 415 Self-Righteous

Author: sole red

The first prize presentation guest was Eunuch Wang, the great eunuch who was the Supervisor of Ceremonies!

You must know that the first prize comes with a generous bonus! One hundred taels of silver, which is a huge amount of money these days. I heard that after the award ceremony, you can wear a tall hat with flowers and parade through the streets, and then you can go to the palace.

Banquet! This is not just a matter of the emperor inviting them to a meal, but the treatment is almost the same as that of a scholar! How can people not be excited?

In fact, the emperor himself was mixed in with the crowd watching the ceremony and was enjoying it. However, the emperor always needs to maintain a sense of mystery and sanctity. The dragon's face cannot be easily revealed to others, so Eunuch Wang, as an angel, does this for him.

.

None of the twenty-four people who won the award had any reputation, including twelve bookkeepers and shopkeepers, eleven government officials, and the third child of the old Zhang family in Scissor Hutong.

When Zhang Xiaosan came to the stage to receive the award, Song Qingyue kept applauding him from below. This is a young genius trained by Zhaoyue Primary School! He must be applauded! She not only applauded him, but also gave him a scholarship!

The emperor gave one hundred taels, and she wanted to give another one hundred taels!

There is also Miss Tan, the only girl who has just been born, who also gives a hundred taels of "women's scholarship to encourage students to study". Of course, Miss Tan's family has a big business and is not short of money. This money is a reward for all the girls in the world.

, of extraordinary significance.

The award ceremony ended successfully at noon, followed by a lively street parade and the emperor's banquet. Song Qingyue didn't go to attend. It was because she was so tired this morning after half a night of tossing last night!

Originally, after the award ceremony, she was supposed to take the group of palace maids who helped prepare the ceremony, the eunuchs, and the officials from the Ministry of Etiquette to Liuquan Residence to hold a celebration banquet. However, Song Qingyue couldn't hold it any longer. She yawned profusely as soon as she got on the carriage.

Mo Zhu took everyone to Liuquan Residence on his behalf, while he lazily returned home to catch up on some sleep.

In Qiandi, the servants on the East Road were all frightened by the killing in the morning.

Among the slaves who were killed, in addition to a few who cleaned the yard and tended the flowers and plants in the east and middle roads, there were also Liang Liangyuan's nanny and Liangyuan's maidservant! They were all killed without mercy by His Highness's order.

A few of the Mo's in Wufangzhai had seen one instance of cane punishment, which was when Song Qingyue almost killed Concubine Sun during her birthday party. They also crippled a number of servants.

This was the first time for Dongping, Xiaozao, Mian Mian, Susu and Xiaoyuan to meet each other. They were all scared to tears. In the end, Xiaozao, who had seen many pigs and sheep being killed as a helper in the kitchen, was the first to calm down.

I took a few sisters and ran to the kitchen to make a pot of sweet osmanthus and lotus root starch soup to appease everyone.

Dongping ate the sweet soup and said, "I have long seen that Liang Liangyuan is dishonest, but I didn't expect that she would dare to drug His Highness."

Mian Mian said: "How can it be done without taking medicine? If His Highness were awake, he wouldn't even look at her!"

Xiaozao shook his head, turned around and saw the two dim sum cooks from Jinling still busy at work, so he walked over and asked, "Are we asking you two to make dim sum over there on the West Road?"

The two cooks also went to watch the execution in the morning. They were so frightened that they found something to do to distract themselves.

"No!" The cook spoke with a Wu accent. "The princesses in the west are all chatty, but the dim sum on the east road is cooked to perfection. I have been cooking it for a while, and I guess it will be there in the morning."

It scared them so much that they haven’t come to get it yet.”

"I happen to be free this morning. I'll send it over later." Xiao Zao took the initiative.

Liang Tongyue was frightened and cried hard all morning, but crying was useless. She had to face reality after all. When she heard that the princess had finally returned home, she immediately spread her hair, put on plain clothes, and ran to Wufangzhai

Kneeling straight in front of the door.

Although it is already August, the temperature is still very high, especially when the sun is shining at noon. The weather is dry, and Liang Tongyue's fair little face turned red in just a short time.

Xiaozao was returning from delivering snacks on the West Road when she met Liangyuan kneeling at the door of Wufang Zhaiyuan.

She glanced at her with disgust, but thinking about the gossip she heard from Xilu, she couldn't help but feel worried again.

When he saw Aunt Bai, she said, "Mom, it's not good to go on like this, isn't it? What if I faint?"

Aunt Bai hummed: "If she likes to kneel, let her kneel! It's not our princess who asked her to kneel!"

Xiao Zao said: "Yes, our queen has never made anyone kneel, but others won't say that! If this matter comes to the ears of the two queens in the palace, they don't know how to arrange it, what will happen to the princess! I just went there

After walking around on the west road, she was chattering again, saying..." She was a little reluctant to say.

"What did you say?"

"They say that our princess is evil-hearted, and that if our princess hadn't been jealous and occupied His Highness, Liangyuan wouldn't have had to take such a trick to drug His Highness!"

"A bunch of little bitches!" Aunt Bai scolded.

"It's the tongue chewed by the nuns on the West Road." Xiao Zao corrected.

"That's the old bitch!" Aunt Bai put her hands on her hips angrily.

Xiaozao said: "How about I go in and ask the princess what she means? It's not good to always ask the two queens in the palace to criticize our queen!"

"What happened last night... Your Majesty has just gone to bed." Aunt Bai didn't want to disturb Song Qingyue's rest, but it was better to ask her what she wanted before handling the matter, so she sighed and nodded in agreement.

This is the benefit of the master's good temper. The servants dare to say whatever they want. Although Song Qingyue fell asleep, she did not fall into a deep sleep. She could smell the sweet soup as soon as Xiao Zao entered the room.

"What delicious food did you cook today?" Song Qingyue asked lazily.

"Osmanthus, lotus root powder, sugar taro seedlings, your favorite food." Xiao Zao said, "You didn't have lunch, so at least you should eat something to cushion your stomach before going to bed. You were really hard last night."

Song Qingyue blushed for a moment and asked Mo Mei to open the curtain.

Xiao Zao handed the sweet soup to the princess and said, "Liang Liangyuan is kneeling outside."

Song Qingyue bit the tender taro sprouts without even pausing and ordered smoothly: "Drive her away."

"I'm afraid that when the mothers-in-law leave later, Liang Liangyuan will cry for father and mother again while calling you cousin and suffer miserably. I can see that your cousin is really a sinister person!" Xiao Zao said with a big smile.

Courage said.

Mo Mei was amused by her words, but she agreed with Xiao Zao: "Princess, you have to be careful about that Liang Yuan. The Liang family is not a vegetarian. Mr. Liang has been in the Ministry of Personnel for so long and has a wide network of contacts.

If Mrs. Liang intends to speak ill of you, you will not be able to explain her! This evil person can only do it for you, Your Highness!"

Song Qingyue looked at Mo Mei and was surprised for a moment, realizing that she was surrounded by talents!

The villain asked Li Zhao to do what she wanted. All she had to do was be a virtuous and kind-hearted princess. Song Qingyue made up her mind, got out of bed, put on a coat, ran to the courtyard gate with a group of maids and women, and shouted loudly: "Sister

What is this doing?!"

Liang Tongyue didn't expect that Song Qingyue would come out so soon. She raised her head and looked at her in shock, and soon cried with tears in her eyelashes: "Cousin! Ah Yue is wrong! Ah Yue is wrong! Cousin! Ah Yue...

Ah Yue just misses His Highness too much..."""

"Hey! You're talking about you!" Song Qingyue suddenly stretched out her hand and stabbed Liang Tongyue hard on the temple, "If you want to serve His Highness and sister, I just say so! My sister must persuade His Highness to stop pestering me, and

So that the sisters can share the burden. Stop kneeling and come in quickly. I will wait until His Highness calms down and I will go and beg for mercy."

Involuntarily, he grabbed Liang Tongyue's wrist and tried to pull her up from the ground. The rough men on both sides lifted her up and carried her into the courtyard.

After carrying the person into the courtyard, as soon as the courtyard door was closed, Song Qingyue threw away her hand and looked at the extremely stunned Liang Tongyue and ordered the maids: "Find a place for this good sister, my princess, to rest. Kneel down and wait if you want."

Let’s talk about it when His Highness comes back.”

"cousin!"

Snap!

Just as Liang Tongyue opened her mouth and screamed, she was slapped mercilessly by Song Qingyue.

The servants in the yard were all frightened by the sudden slap from the princess.

This seemed to be Song Qingyue's first time beating someone.

These days, ladies are not in the mood to take matters into their own hands. If they want to use force, they have to let others do it.

But Song Qingyue couldn't hold it back anymore. She felt sick when she heard the words "cousin"!

She pointed her index finger at Liang Tongyue's nose and said coldly: "Don't call me cousin again. If you let me hear you again, I will beat you every time I hear you!"

Liang Tongyue covered her face and looked at Song Qingyue in shock and anger. She suddenly laughed out loud and said with a mocking look on her face: "Why, the princess can no longer pretend to be virtuous? Are you in a hurry to take action? Don't let me call you cousin."

,Okay, you go back to the Song family,

Let Mr. Song change you back to the status of a concubine! You have taken advantage of my aunt, how can you take care of the Liang family's cousin even if you don't want to? Princess, don't forget, Mr. Song has resigned. Can you please appoint me as your replacement?

Have you discussed it with your uncle?"

Liang Tongyue was very proud.

"Your Majesty, for your Majesty, my grandfather is a good candidate." After Liang Tongyue said this, she raised her chin and smiled.

Looking up, he only saw Song Qingyue's disdainful and slightly pitiful eyes.

"His Highness already knows the candidate for his replacement. Besides, as a junior minister in the cabinet and an important minister of the country, how can His Highness make a biased decision just because he favors a woman from the backyard? You underestimate His Highness too much, and you underestimate Your Majesty too much!"

What he said was so bold and well-structured that Liang Tongyue was so embarrassed and angry.
