"Well, it's a long story. I got to know my concubine the last time I left the palace." Nuan Si stammered.
"It seems that the queen has a lot of friends." Mo Yu Wuhuan said sarcastically, Nuan Si thought about it and stopped worrying about it.
At this moment, the scholar kneeling below was trembling with fear. Not only was the queen there, but the man in golden dragon robe next to him should be the emperor.
"The common people were blind and bumped into the emperor and the empress. Please punish them." The scholar finally came to his senses.
"Xiucai, why are you making such a fuss in the Marquis's Mansion today?" Mo Yu Wuhuan knew that this kind of scholar would not easily cause trouble, and there must be some hidden secret in this.
"Please let the emperor make the decision for the common people." The scholar was lucky enough to meet the emperor, and he was indescribably excited. He had long heard that Nan Yu's new emperor was wise and decisive and governed the country well. It seemed that today would not be in vain.
"Yes, scholar, if you have any grievances, I and the emperor will give you justice." Nuan Si answered.
Xiucai looked at Nuan Si and felt his face. Thinking back to Nuan Si's teasing that day, his face suddenly turned red again.
"Hey, kid, are you going to tell me or not?" Yan Yu urged impatiently.
"The grassroots' surname is Ai, and the compound name is Qisheng." The scholar hurriedly reported his name first. This is the most basic courtesy.
"Excuse me, what? You said your name is Edison? The one who invented the light bulb?" Nuansi almost spit out the tea in his mouth.
"No, no, Madam, you heard it wrong. The common people call Aiqisheng, strange Qisheng, the student of life."
"Oh, oh, I heard it wrong, then continue..." Nuan Si said dejectedly.
"Cao Min was originally a candidate rushing to take the exam. He studied hard for ten years just to become famous in one fell swoop. However, he didn't expect that the academician of the Academy of Examination accepted bribes and changed the exam papers of Cao Min. As a result, Sun Dashu, the son of member Sun, unexpectedly got the second place in the exam.
.”
"How do you know about such a big thing?" Yan Yu asked doubtfully.
"Master Hou didn't know that Cao Min's mother worked as a cook in Sun Yuan's house, and she overheard it, because no one in Sun's house knew about it. Mr. Sun was a rough man, and he usually wrote big words.
It’s unbelievable how a few people who don’t even know them got the second place in the rankings. The common people have been wronged, so I ask the emperor to make the decision for the common people.”
"Well, your matter is a serious matter. It's hard for me to make a conclusion now. Everything must be supported by evidence. I will give you justice after I find out."
"The common people thank the Emperor and the Holy Lord for their kindness." Ai Xiucai left excitedly.
Yan Yu stepped forward: "Your Majesty, this matter..."
Unexpectedly, the emperor waved his hand: "We will discuss this later."
Unexpectedly, Nuan Si on the side murmured: "Why do you make it so mysterious? Aren't you afraid that I will know? The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. I understand, huh." After that, he walked out and got on the carriage first.
Mo Yu shook his head helplessly. This little girl is always so impulsive. The reason why the emperor did not talk here is because the Marquis Mansion has many eyes and ears and does not want to cause trouble. It has nothing to do with Nuansi.
imperial study room
"Your Majesty, it seems that this matter is just an introduction. Those old guys in the Yulinyuan have already started these activities. At first, the emperor saw that they were all veterans, so he turned a blind eye. Now, I didn't expect that they didn't know.
If you don't restrain yourself, you can even steal the second place in the rankings?" Yan Yu was extremely angry.
"Well, I have heard about it a long time ago. I have been busy dealing with the white foxes and have no time to deal with them. Unexpectedly, I have pushed even further."
"Your Majesty, it's easy to deal with those old guys, but I'm afraid the person in charge of the exam is also to blame."
"Oh? Are you talking about Zhongli Quan?" Mo Yu Wuhuan knew that Yan Yu cared about Zhongli Quan. After all, he was the cousin of the Queen Mother and the biological father of Mrs. Cuiwei.
"Exactly."
"Let me think about it, you can go back first."
"Yes, then I will retire."
When Yan Yu walked out of the imperial study room, he saw Mrs. Lan kneeling outside the door. Yan Yu glanced at her inexplicably.
"Lan'er, why are you kneeling here?" The emperor was obviously surprised.
"Your Majesty, I am aware of my guilt." Mrs. Lan's eyes were filled with tears, which made everyone feel sad to see her.
"What crime is my beloved concubine guilty of?" Mo Yu Wuhuan asked doubtfully.
"Last time, I was kindly asking the Queen to enjoy the flowers, but I didn't expect that such a big thing happened, and my brother was also involved, so I felt very guilty and asked the emperor to apologize." Mrs. Lan's voice was soft and charming.
, being charming but soft, even men can't stand it.
"Lan'er, get up first, the ground is cold." The emperor walked over and hurriedly helped Bai Ruolan up.
Because Bai Ruolan had been kneeling for a long time, her legs and feet were numb, so she fell into the Emperor's arms with the help of the Emperor's support...
"Your Majesty, my concubine..."
"Eunuch De, Mrs. Lan has been kneeling for so long, why didn't she report it to me?" The emperor was furious.
"Your Majesty, it's Master Lan who didn't allow me to report. She kept saying she wanted to plead guilty." Eunuch De fell to his knees in panic.
"Your Majesty, don't embarrass Eunuch De. I am a sinner, so I came here to plead guilty to you." Bai Ruolan hid in the emperor's arms and was as angry as a silk thread.
"Lan'er, stop talking. Why would I blame you? What are you guilty of? Don't hurt yourself, I will feel bad for you."
Bai Ruolan blushed, put her hands on the emperor's neck, and began to act coquettishly: "How about the emperor go to Youlan Yaju tonight?"
"Okay." The emperor said affectionately, and then kissed him heavily.
The woman not far away felt a dull pain in her heart when she saw this scene...
"Your Majesty, do we still want to send this ice porridge to the Emperor?" Bao'er asked carefully.
Nuan Si did not answer, the ice porridge in her hand had begun to melt...
"Empress?" Bao'er's voice became louder.
"Huh?" Nuan Si came back to his senses, numbly picked up the spoon, and ate the ice porridge bite by bite, holding back tears.
"My dear, please don't be like this. If you want to cry, just cry. I feel uncomfortable seeing you like this." Bao'er said distressedly.
"No, why should I cry? It's nothing. Your Majesty doesn't need ice porridge. I can just eat it myself." Nuan Si picked up the small bowl and started to drink the melted ice water...
Mrs. Lan did not suffer from indifference because of her brother's affairs. She was still honored and favored, and the emperor stayed with her more days than others.
"Master, Concubine Hui is here." Gong E reported.
"Let her come in?" Bai Ruolan put down the green tie in her hand and straightened her clothes...
"My concubine, please give my regards to Sister Lan." Hui Bin said with a well-behaved look on her face.
"You're welcome, sister, please get up quickly." Mrs. Lan said with a smile on her face.
At this time, Hui Bin looked at the palace ladies on the left and right sides, but stopped talking.
"You guys go down first." Mrs. Lan blocked the two palace eunuchs.
"Sister Lan, my mother's condition has become more serious. I'm afraid she still needs my sister's thousand-year wild ginseng to survive." Hui Bin begged.
"Oh? Is that so..." Mrs. Lan lowered her head and fiddled with the teapot in her hand without saying anything.
"Sister, it was my fault that I was not ruthless last time at the hunting ground. Otherwise, the Queen would have died long ago. So I know my mistake. Please give me a chance."
"What did my sister say? Did you say this casually? There are many eyes and ears in the palace. If someone with a heart hears it, you and I can't protect it even if we have ten heads." Mrs. Lan drank sweetly.
Hui Bin was stunned, and her face suddenly changed: "Sister, I really know my mistake. Please don't ignore me. My mother really needs wild ginseng to survive."
Mrs. Lan smiled sarcastically: "Hey... things are so unpredictable. You, who come from a medical family, can't save your own family? I'm afraid Doctor Meng doesn't know that yet, right?"
Hui Concubine was shocked: "My father is an upright man, but he doesn't know anything? Please ask my sister to keep it a secret for me."
"Of course, but my sister must do more for her in the future, otherwise our sisters' journey to the harem will not be so easy," Mrs. Lan said with emotion.
Hui concubine is cowardly by nature, so she can only nod her head no matter what Mrs. Lan says...
Seeing that it was getting late outside, Bai Ruolan smiled proudly: "It's getting late, sister, please go back. Don't come here all the time if you have nothing to do, so as not to make others suspicious."
"Yes." Hui Bin nodded in agreement, knowing in her heart that the emperor was coming soon at this time, and Bai Ruolan didn't want her to be a lightbulb here.
Sure enough, as soon as Hui Concubine left, the Emperor arrived with his back legs...
"Your Majesty, I ordered someone to make Eight Treasures Lotus Seed Soup tonight." Mrs. Lan smiled sweetly.
"Okay, my beloved concubine, you know my feelings very well." Mo Yu Wuhuan said.
"Come, my concubine, feed the emperor one." Bai Ruolan began to act coquettishly again. She had dominated the emperor for three consecutive days. Yesterday was Li Meiren's day, but she snatched her alive. Today is Qiu Guifei's day. Bai Ruolan still wants to
She stayed with the emperor overnight, but she underestimated Concubine Qiu too much.
The emperor had not eaten the lotus seeds before he heard the report from the little eunuch outside: "Your Majesty, Qiushui Yiren sent a message that Concubine Qiu has been waiting for the emperor to have a meal, and the result..."
"What's the result?" The emperor was anxious.
"As a result, Concubine Qiu was exhausted and fainted." The young eunuch reported truthfully.
"What? Hurry, drive to Qiushui Yiren immediately." The emperor pushed Bai Ruolan away from his arms, stood up and left without looking back.
Leave Bai Ruolan and a bowl of Eight Treasures Lotus Seed Soup that has been simmered all afternoon.
At this time, Gong'e came in and reminded in a low voice: "Madam, it's time for dinner."
"Go away, what are you going to eat?" Bai Ruolan knocked over the eight-treasure lotus seed soup in a fit of anger, and the lotus seed soup spilled all over the floor. As soon as the emperor left, it was meaningless to say anything. She also showed her true colors, and there was no need to pretend to be sweet and gentle.
Qiushui Yiren
"Qiu Shui, how are you?" Mo Yu Wuhuan began to feel guilty. He knew clearly that Qiu Shui was not in good health, so how could he let her wait for his dinner?
"Your Majesty, my concubine is fine. When I see your Majesty, my concubine is fine." Qiu Shui said with a pale face.
The emperor's heart tightened and he said distressedly: "From now on, don't wait for my dinner. Eat first. Your health is important. Do you understand? You fool?"
Qiu Shui smiled elegantly: "I have to wait. I remember that when the emperor was sent to the border by the late emperor, he would eat with me all day long. At that time, the environment was difficult, and we had to eat and sleep in the open. Now that we have lived a good life, I can't forget it.
Cherish every minute and every second with the Emperor."
Hearing this, the emperor was moved. He remembered that Qiu Shui had been with him for three years when his father sent him to the border. How could he forget this kind of friendship? So he gently picked up Qiu Shui and leaned against his chest...
Qiu Shui seized the opportunity and gently untied the emperor's dragon robe...
The emperor was shocked: "Qiushui, is that okay? Your body...?"
"I can do it, I want a child." Qiu Shui's tears flashed, and the emperor couldn't bear it. He couldn't say the rejection, so he cooperated with Qiu Shui and untied his clothes. In the spring night...
Late at night, looking at the sleeping emperor, Qiu Shui reached out and touched his handsome face and whispered: "No one can take you away, you are mine."
Shangguan Qiushui is an extremely smart woman. She used to disdain to use tricks, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know how to use tricks. Once she uses tricks, no one can match her. No one, including Concubine Yu, can be her opponent. Just like today, a
With this excuse, Bai Ruolan easily transferred the emperor out of Bai Ruolan's hands. Reminiscing about old feelings moved the emperor even more. He even made an exception and allowed the emperor to possess dragon seeds in advance like the queen. This is a great favor...
The inside of Xiluan Hall is deserted and deserted
Belle said carefully: "Mother, the emperor has not come for seven days?"
