Ye Shihan was suddenly a little surprised, "Your Majesty, what about the Su family?"
The emperor waved his hand, "Su Dening is guilty. Since his wife and children have not been harmed, it is inconvenient to worry about it. Besides, his crime is not serious when you think about it now. It is not easy for a woman from the Su family to support such a large shop alone.
It is much better than those wives and daughters of officials who were exiled for their crimes and cried all day long and hanged themselves to death, so I should commend them."
Hearing this, Ye Shihan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately said, "Your Majesty is wise and has never brought harm to his family since ancient times. My brother has a problem. I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"
"Tell me, I'm in a good mood today."
He nodded while eating the stinky tofu in his hand with relish.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the fourth son of the Su family, Su Yuanmin, is an extremely smart child. If the Emperor can pardon him and allow him to participate in this year's palace examination, he may be able to discover a talent."
The emperor's hand suddenly paused, then he put down his chopsticks, his face darkened,
"The son of a guilty minister cannot participate in the palace examination. This is an eternal law. How can I change it at will?"
These words happened to be heard by Princess Jiaoyue who had just come in. She quickly came forward, put her hands on the table, and looked straight at the emperor.
"Why can't it be changed? Isn't Brother Huang a person who cherishes talents? Besides, his father is a criminal, what does it have to do with him? If he is not even allowed to go to the examination room, what is the difference between him and the Nine Clan of Zhulian?"
"Jiaoyue, the emperor and your seventh brother are discussing matters here. Don't talk nonsense. Come and have a taste of this."
The Queen Mother pointed to the food on the table and looked at her with a serious expression.
However, Jiao Yue pursed her lips in displeasure, "What's the business? Isn't it just that the son of the guilty minister is not allowed to enter the examination room? Is it possible that the emperor wants to use the hat of the guilty minister's son to bury a talented person?"
Hearing what she said, Ye Shihan also echoed while the iron was hot, "Princess Jiaoyue is a woman, but I didn't expect that she has a very benevolent and righteous heart."
After saying that, he winked at her slyly, and Princess Jiaoyue stuck out her tongue at him.
"Presumptuous," the emperor suddenly put down the chopsticks he had just picked up and became slightly angry, "Are you saying that I am stingy?"
"Brother I don't dare."
Ye Shihan hurriedly bowed and saluted,
"My younger brother feels that the emperor, as Princess Jiaoyue said, is a person who cherishes talents and will not exclude him from the examination room because of the bad reputation of the son of a guilty minister. Just like what the emperor said just now, the daughter of the Su family can establish her own family.
The emperor really appreciates supporting this family. If the son of the Su family becomes the number one scholar in high school, shouldn't the emperor appreciate him even more?"
"Win the top prize?"
The emperor suddenly sneered, and his brows knitted into a rope.
"Does His Highness the Seventh Prince think that winning the top prize is just a casual talk? Do the men from his Su family have extraordinary abilities? Not just anyone can win."
"What if he really got hit?" Ye Shihan raised his eyebrows. From the emperor's words, he felt that there was a way, so he winked at Princess Jiaoyue who was aside.
Seeing this, Princess Jiaoyue hurriedly stepped forward and took the emperor's arm, "I don't believe he can win the first prize, so why not do this, Brother Huang, let's make a bet with Brother Seven, if he fails to win the first prize, we will win.
Brother Huang can make any request at that time and ask Brother Qi to fulfill it.
If Su Yuanmin really has a fever and becomes the number one scholar in high school, then we will grant Brother Seventh's request. What does the Emperor think?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, frowning a little suspiciously.
"Are you girl familiar with the Su family?"
Jiao Yue shook her head hastily, "I'm not familiar with it, but I think what Seventh Brother said makes sense. He may not be able to get the top prize anyway. Wouldn't it be more fun for us to tease Seventh Brother when the time comes?"
She grinned and smiled.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother hurriedly waved her hand, "Jiaoyue, don't be ridiculous. There are laws on these things. You can't just change them."
"Why can't it be changed?" Jiao Yue looked at the Queen Mother with an angry look, "Brother Huang is the emperor, and the emperor is the most powerful ruler in the world. If he says he can change it, he can change it, right brother Huang?"
"That's natural. The emperor is wise and will naturally change some illegal laws in a timely manner. In fact, what I am saying is that Su Yuanmin is just a good writer, maybe he is just a nerd. If the emperor does not agree, I will not
I won’t even mention it!”
Ye Shihan stood beside him and echoed.
The emperor listened to the back-and-forth conversation between these two people, his brows tightened, he pondered for a moment, and then suddenly nodded,
"Okay, in that case, I will make this bet with you. If he fails to be the top pick in high school, I will draw lots for Ye Shihan to get married!"
ah?
this…
"Your Majesty, change to something else..."
The emperor waved his hand directly, "That's it. I'm just worried about this matter. Drawing lots to determine the princess also eliminates the dissatisfaction of the Xiao and Sun families. Each one can choose according to their destiny. If the remaining one is willing, she can directly
Be your concubine."
Ye Shihan suddenly felt a little regretful. Why did he plead for Su Yuanmin? Now his life-long event was tied to whether he was in high school or not.
These are two completely unrelated things. How did they get mixed up?
Originally, he felt sorry for Su Yuanmin who had no place to use his good literary talent, but he didn't expect that the emperor would take advantage of it. This was really a slap in the face!
It seems he needs to inform him!
So, the next morning, Ye Shihan personally took the plaque given by the emperor and a secret order to Doudou Snack Street. When the sound of gongs and drums sounded, the street instantly became lively!
Su Muer stood at the end of the alley and saw the plaque behind Ye Shihan, and couldn't help but look puzzled.
"This is…"
Ye Shihan took a few steps forward, and in front of all the people, ordered someone to hold the gold plaque above his head.
"Su Mu'er accepted the order, and the emperor personally bestowed a plaque here!"
Gifted by the Emperor himself?
The people around him, including Su Mu'er and Yuan Min behind him, as well as all the servants of the Su family, fell to their knees in surprise and knelt down one after another.
"The daughter of the common people thanks the emperor for his grace!"
Her excitement was palpable, and the emperor personally gave her a plaque. Is she still worried about being in Doudou Snack Street?
Ye Shihan looked at her with squinting eyes like stars, bowed slightly, and then nodded,
"Then please ask Miss Su to have the plaque hung up. This is the honor of your Su family. From now on, the golden signboard of Doudou Snack Street will be unique in the capital!"
Su Mu'er hurriedly bowed and thanked her, "A daughter of the people would like to thank the Lord for his kindness. A daughter of the people will definitely do it herself, and her hard work will never go to waste."
Ye Shihan nodded with an approval look on his face, then bent down and approached her, "Miss Su, the Emperor has another secret decree. Please ask Miss Su to take Su Yuanmin to receive the decree."
Secret edict?
She raised her puzzled eyes and looked at him, "What secret order?"
He did not answer, but raised his hand and said, "Miss Su, please, I can't say it here."
Although Su Muer was puzzled, she still arranged for her servants to hang up the imperial plaque. She took Yuan Min and Ye Shihan to her office.
