Aunt Tian was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, she figured out the intention and said: "The Queen Mother is thoughtful, but this servant is reckless."
Under the daily influence of the daily examination results, the Queen Mother's mentality changed somewhat.
I don't want Aunt Tian to go late at night, because I don't want to disturb the beautiful girls in their dreams, and secondly, I want to see the results of the beautiful girls giving their best without knowing.
However, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to eliminate them now, at least until the general election.
Of the twenty-five beautiful ladies, with Zhu Xiunv leaving the palace, only twenty-four were left.
Strictly speaking, those beautiful ladies who left the palace were all related to Lihua.
The one who was dragged out of the palace on the first day was because Lihua changed the time when the original owner entered the palace. She accidentally persuaded the next three talented women to leave, and the last Zhu Xiunv was done intentionally by her.
But in the Queen Mother's understanding, everything was related to the emperor. Although Zhu Xiunv had selfish motives, she was also frightened by the emperor's entrance examination and his desire to eliminate the beautiful women.
The Queen Mother thought for a while and decided to go back and talk to the Emperor about this issue. In the future, she would not be able to show off her young ladies no matter what.
There are twenty-four left, arranged in two rows, twelve in a row, three in a row, eight in a row, four in a row, six in a row.
It looks good no matter how you arrange it.
All in all, this number is good and cannot be less, especially for those showgirls who did well in the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" exam.
After taking care of these things, the Empress Dowager asked people to bring in the exam results from the previous days and read them again. When she saw that Zhu Xiunv was counting down the exams every time, she snorted and said nothing.
But Nanny Qin knew that the Queen Mother was disgusted with this beautiful girl's scheming, and thought it would be better for this beautiful girl to leave the palace.
Finally, the three nuns handed over a dozen sealed sets of papers prepared by Lihua and asked the Queen Mother to draw one set for the test tomorrow.
The Queen Mother saw that Lihua was thoughtful and even praised her.
After taking out the paper, Grandma Tian immediately took it and wrote twenty-three copies overnight, sealed it and locked it up.
The next morning, the show ladies found that the three nuns had arrived neatly together, followed by about a dozen palace servants.
There were palace officials standing in front and behind Xiu Dexuan. The formation was very large and it was impossible to cheat.
The show girls couldn't help but become even more nervous.
Lihua arrived at the scene and was stunned when she saw the battle. She didn't expect that a school exam would be taken so seriously. It must be the Queen Mother's intention.
She met with several nuns, encouraged the show girls, strengthened their confidence and allowed them to perform better, then stood aside and waited together.
Xiao Zuozi was also present, unconsciously serving as an invigilator and assistant teacher.
After the beautiful ladies finished their exams, they saw three nuns waving their hands while they were anxious.
More than a dozen palace people swarmed up and took away the papers on the beautiful lady's table.
Finally, it was handed over to Aunt Qin, put into a box, locked, and held by Aunt Qin herself.
Lihua was stunned again, feeling that it was a bit too much, thinking that in the palace, she was still afraid that someone would not be able to rob her?
Grandma Qin said to the ladies, "Thank you for your hard work, young masters," then winked at Grandma Tian, and left under the escort of a group of palace officials.
The movement was extremely fast, as if escorting something important.
Lihua was even more confused. It was not a real imperial examination. It was just to test the academic performance of the beautiful women and to give an explanation to the Queen Mother. It was not necessary, right?
The other show girls' hearts were raised, and they all thought that they really wanted to eliminate people, otherwise they wouldn't be like this, so they became even more uneasy.
Just when everyone was panicking, Grandma Tian came out, praised everyone with a smile, and asked the beautiful girls to relax and relax. They don't have to go to class today and relax their muscles and bones.
Then, with a stern look on her face, Mother Tian pointed her hand: "Drag out the little eunuch who spreads rumors and causes trouble!"
One moment it was gentle wind and drizzle, and the next moment it was a violent storm.
The palace servant's movements were extremely fast. He held a little boy on the left and right, and had a stick ready outside. He put the person on the bench, blocked his mouth with a handkerchief, and immediately spanked him on the buttocks.
The other beautiful ladies in the palace were all in the dark and were all shocked.
When Lihua heard the words "spreading rumors to cause trouble", she already knew what the reason was. The retribution of this heartless little eunuch had finally come.
To say that the little boy is short-sighted is to say that he is really short-sighted. At this time, he has not shown any fear, and his expression is as normal as ever, as if it is a trivial matter.
When the other show girls saw Granny Tian's serious face, they felt that the matter was serious, but when they saw him, they felt that it was a trivial matter. There was a sense of conflict. They all stared at the person being dragged away, not knowing how to react.
good.
Soon there was a "slapping" sound of sticks and buttocks outside, and Lihua couldn't bear to look outside.
After all, this heartless little eunuch helped her a lot by spreading rumors in the first place, and he has helped her a lot these days. I really can't bear it.
It's just that the Queen Mother must have wanted Xiao Zhengzi to be beaten, and she couldn't help.
Lihua secretly made a decision to bring back the discarded dozen or so sets of questions to Xiao Zuozi and have them completed for him.
It was extremely quiet in the palace at this moment, with only the sound of sticks sticking out from outside. Almost everyone looked out the window, terrified.
In Zhuangning Palace.
"...Emperor, they have also worked hard. They have been bored in the palace these days copying the Diamond Sutra..."
When Nanny Qin was holding the box containing the examination papers outside the hall, she heard the conversation inside. She immediately winked to her left and right, quietly stepped back, and turned around to the side hall.
Nanny Qin was going to be there and let the palace staff correct the answers to Xiu Nu's paper. The people she used were all people from Zhuang Ning Palace.
The emperor who came to pay his respects flipped through a stack of "Diamond Sutra" and then handed it to Zhang Defa with a gentle expression: "Very good, come here, I will give you a set of sandalwood Qin pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
The Queen Mother was delighted and very satisfied with the emperor's attitude.
Using pen, ink, paper and inkstone soaked in sandalwood, the Buddhist scriptures copied were more pious, so it was appropriate for the emperor to reward this.
The palace concubine named Libi happily thanked her: "Thank you so much, Lord Long Live!"
Even though the reward is just a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstones that are of little use to her, it is the only one in the harem and is of great significance!
After getting up, Concubine Li stretched out her slender hand to the Queen Mother half coquettishly and half aggrievedly: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, ever since I issued the decree, I have not dared to stop for a moment, copying Buddhist scriptures every day. You see, my hands are all copied.
Where is the cocoon~" He glanced at the emperor secretly.
The emperor's smile remained unchanged and he did not look away.
Li Bin couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed. Her hands were very beautiful, but it was a pity that Long Live Lord didn't look at them.
The Queen Mother looked over and tried hard to identify the faint callus. Regardless of whether she saw it or not, she nodded in approval: "Concubine Li is very determined. No wonder she finished copying it in less than ten days."
She told the palace attendant on the left: "Go get a box of white jade pearl paste and give it to Concubine Li."
Concubine Li's disappointment was swept away and she thanked her with great joy. The things the Queen Mother had given her were deeply appreciated in her heart.
The white jade pearl ointment is a tribute, it is rare in quantity, and it makes the skin white and delicate, so it is a treasure for skin care.
The Queen Mother praised the concubine a few more times, and then asked people to leave first. She had something to do and told the emperor in private that she was not in the mood to set up bridges with the concubines today.
Li Bin had no choice but to look back at the emperor three times and reluctantly left.
